Liu Pan'er smiled, "That's a wasteland, the government doesn't collect taxes, and I can't collect your rent." After all, the land that has been cleared needs to be nourished, which may affect the harvest. Wait until two years later, and then collect the rent. My oxen and iron ploughs are also at home, and they are not needed now, so you can take them and use them. ”

Mrs. Tang was polite, "Madam, we don't use it in vain, give rent." ”

"That is, how can there be a reason for nothing?" Tang Yunshan also smiled and said that he felt that he should give it.

At this time, Liu said with a smile: "Brother Tang, don't be so polite. Although you opened the land, the land belongs to your brother and sister, not yours. You don't need to be paid to clear the land for my house. We are also our own people, and we must not ask you to use the rent of oxen and iron ploughs. My brother and sister have always done things fairly, so you must not refuse. ”

The fact is also that Liu Paner can't take advantage of the Tang family because of their honesty.

"That's it, sister-in-law Tang, brother Tang, you're welcome. Otherwise, Yuan Qing would have said that if he found out, he would have said me. My reputation is hard to manage, sister-in-law, don't let me be that insensitive iron. Liu Pan'er smiled, "Cat, go to my room and bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

"Yes, ma'am." The cat should go down and quickly bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Li Dabao poured a little water into the inkstone, took the ink strip and began to grind it gently.

Tang Yunshan thanked, "Madame said so, my old Tang is grateful." ”

Mrs. Tang also promised, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely raise pigs well." Feed the pigs, clean the pigsty, and then go to the wasteland. It's near the pigsty, and if anyone comes, we can see it. ”

"Okay, that's it." Liu Paner finished with a smile, and then began to write the contract.

After writing it, let Li Dabao read it to Tang Yunshan and Tang Niangzi.

Liu Pan'er chuckled and said, "Did you see it? If you are literate, read the contract for yourselves. ”

Tang Yunshan smiled and said, "We can trust Madame, and we won't lie to us." ”

"I won't lie to you, but in the future, you still have other things that need to be contracted, and you have pressed your handprint, and you have been deceived, and there is no way." Liu Paner explained, illustrating the importance of literacy.

Mrs. Tang said with a smile: "What Mrs. said is that we learned to write with Dazhu Erzhu last night, and I can write my name and six characters." I was in charge of the house and learned five. Learn every day, recognize every day, accumulate a lot, and in the future, like Aunt Cuihua, you can understand it. ”

"Learn, you must study hard." Tang Yunshan said with a smile, looking like he was obeying his wife's orders.

The husband and wife pressed their fingerprints, two contracts, one for each person, and each took it.

On the way back, Tang Yunshan held Tang Niangzi's hand, "Lady, Madame is so good, no wonder the general married Madame and handed over the four children to her." ”

Tang Niangzi also nodded, "None of the four children are biological, but Mrs. can take them well, and each child is good-looking, polite, and smart." The children were also very kind to Madame, and Madame was really amazing. We're here, we've come to the right place. If you do things well, you must be better off than we used to. ”

Tang Yunshan smiled, "It's better now than before, it's the same work, and there is no pressure to work here." The house is also well lived in and well fed. ”

"Yes!" Tang Niangzi was convinced by her husband and finally felt at ease.

From this day on, after Tang Niangzi was busy, she began to open up the wasteland. She first cut all the grass in the wasteland, and picked out the ones that could be fed to the pigs. If you can't feed the pigs, cut them down and put them in a big pit, add pig manure and old bird droppings in the forest, and make fertilizer together.

Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu did not go to school in the afternoon, and worked with their mother.

Liu Paner was quite satisfied with the performance of the Tang family.

After that, three more families came one after another, these people were ordinary families who didn't have much livelihood in the local area, and they came to Li Yuanqing's house to make a trilogy. A few more men came to take a look, and they didn't drag their families with them.

Tang Yunshan was very happy to see so many brothers who had been born and died before, and helped arrange it.

Liu Paner arranged the daughters and children, and Tang Yunshan was responsible for arranging the men.

If you have a family, you will divide it into a small yard. The big man who came alone lived in the same courtyard. It is easy to manage, as long as you find a mother-in-law to be responsible for cleaning and cooking.

The children were all sent to the school to read and write, and the men followed behind Tang Yunshan, who was responsible for managing the security of the town

As for women, who are willing to open up wasteland and farm, Liu Paner can give them a piece of land for them to open up wasteland, and the conditions are the same as Tang Yunshan's home.

If you don't want to open up wasteland and farm, you can also use people to work in the dyeing workshop at home, and you can also work there, and you have an income of nearly one or two taels of silver every month.

With such an income, many people are already satisfied and voluntarily stay.

There were more and more people in the workshop, and more and more cloth was dyed, and it was impossible to dry it in the yard.

Zhao Niangzi is the person in charge of the workshop, and came to report to Liu Paner, "Madam, the yard is too small to fit so many dyed cloths, so it can only be dried outside." What do you see where it fits? ”

Liu Paner thought for a while, and then replied: "If you can't dry it, you will put it at the gate of our house for the time being." ”

Zhao Niangzi felt that this method could not solve the problem once and for all, and it was better to find a more suitable place as a workshop for drying.

Zhao Niangzi said: "Madam, although the solution you said can solve the problem, it is only temporary. You are now a decent person and often have guests coming to your home. If there are these colorful cloths at the door, it is not decent. In addition, if we want to expand our workshop, we have to think of a long-term solution. ”

Liu Paner's eyes lit up, looked at Zhao Niangzi's eyes, and was quite approving, "Zhao Niangzi, then tell me, where to build a drying workshop?" ”

Zhao Niangzi smiled and pointed to the hillside behind Liu Paner's house, "The sunny hillside over there is fine." The slope is gentle, suitable for shelves, and there is plenty of daylight. Ordinary cloth, as long as the weather is good, can be dried on the same day. ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Okay, I'll find someone to circle it up, and then set up a shelf, which will be used as a drying place for our dyeing workshop." This year, production has increased, and there are bonuses until June and December. ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Thank you, madam." ”

Now she has a salary of one tael and five taels a month, plus a bonus, and an income of almost two taels of silver, and she can have twenty or thirty taels of silver a year.

Liu Paner's family was paid a high salary, and soon a lot of workers could be summoned to cut down the old bamboo and make a fence to stop some chickens and ducks.

Even if Liu Paner wants to build a walled workshop, there are not enough bricks at this time, everything has to be done in the town, and this side can only be settled.

The drying workshop has only been done in five days. The shelves inside are sturdy, not tall, but tight, and people don't have to climb too high.

The site was expanded, and the staff was also divided into half of the drying workshop, which was more efficient, and could produce 120 pieces of cloth per day.
