Chapter 224: Change One
Zhao Kuan put the totem that he had already painted on the canvas, and after making sure that there were no mistakes or omissions, he put away his pen and retreated, and his task today was completed.
When Zhao Rong saw it, he immediately looked left and right, and saw that there were only a few of them in this room, and there were no elders, so he immediately put down his paintbrush and asked, "Brother Kuan, Uncle Ming asked us to enter the WTO to help the third sister, but weren't we already helping her before?" How else to join the WTO? ”
When the other children in the room heard this, they immediately looked at Zhao Kuan, "Yes, how can you enter the WTO?" ”
Zhao Kuan knelt on the ground for a long time, his knees hurt at this time, and his neck also hurt, he stood up and twisted his neck and said: "Before, it was to bet, but this time, my uncle asked us to work hard to help the third sister, or rather, to try to get her approval." ”
"What does that mean?"
Zhao Kuan glanced out, lowered his voice and said: "It means that in the future, our Zhao family will be dispatched by the third sister in Xiping, or in Yuzhou." ”
The teenagers were startled and exclaimed, "Impossible, right? Isn't there still Uncle Ming? ”
Zhao Kuan: "So it's the future." ”
There is a teenager who has a headache, "Then how do we win the recognition of the third sister?" ”
Zhao Kuan spread his hands, "I don't know." ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said seriously: "I really don't know, but don't we need to draw pictures and sort out Mr. Xiahou's manuscript at this time?" Let's start with the manuscript. ”
"Yes," Zhao Rong said: "If the third sister needs us, she will naturally come to us, so let's draw the picture first." ”
They consciously said these words without outsiders present, Zhao Hanzhang should not be able to know in the short term, who knew that as soon as he came out of the yard, Zhao Zheng exposed the matter to Zhao Erlang.
Zhao Erlang went back to the county government to study for his sister.
Zhao Hanzhang was even more happy when he heard that there were so many people in the clan waiting to be driven by her, "Let them wait first, draw the pictures in their hands, and now they are not needed for some small things, and I will invite them when there are big things." ”
Fu Tinghan saw that she was fooling people again, county affairs were originally complicated and detailed, how far are the current affairs and future affairs?
Obviously, she is planning to wait until she has full control of Xiping County before reusing the Zhao family, but judging from the current situation, it is not far off.
"This is the new grain account, you can take a look."
Zhao Hanzhang took it, "Take out a batch and send it to Shangcai, Shangcai has also released a lot of work, and it also needs a lot of food." ”
Fu Tinghan should be down.
In Zhangjia Village, Zhang Dayan strode with a bow and arrow, and strode into the village with a roe deer.
The village is quiet, because the winter is cold, and most people stay at home in order to keep out the cold and eat a little less food.
Zhang Dayan first took the roe deer home, and then turned around and went to the village chief's house, which was not far from his house.
Through the wall, he shouted inside, "Third uncle, third uncle, are you at home?" ”
After a while, the village chief pushed open the door, craned his neck and said, "What are you shouting, where can I go when I'm not at home?" ”
Seeing that he was not frozen on such a cold day when he only wore two layers of clothes, but instead looked like a tiger with a bear's waist and a strong body, the village chief was envious, "Da Yan, did you hit the prey again?" ”
Zhang Dayan replied vaguely, and said: "Third uncle, I met Bao Sanzhu from Dajia Village on the mountain, he said that Zhao's manor is recruiting workers, and he wants people to dig canals and reservoirs, and he has two meals a day, and he has enough to eat, and he has ten yuan to receive, do you want to go to our village and ask alone?" ”
The village chief was so hungry that he leaned against the door, and said groggyly: "Then you can't come to us, they took in a lot of refugees before winter, and they don't need money to use them, so why use us?" ”
"Who said that you don't want money, Bao Sanzhu said, those refugees work for ten cents a day, and they have clothes collars, but we are going out and have no clothes."
The village chief was a little more energetic, "Then the Zhao family is so good?" Do you even have a salary for the refugees you take in? ”
"Yes, I've inquired about it, it's true," Zhang Dayan said: "They don't even pit the homeless people from outside, let alone pit us, we are Shangcai people." ”
The village chief hesitated.
"Third uncle, if you don't make some food, the big guy can survive the winter, but he can't survive the spring, and there will be half a year to harvest wheat next year."
When the village chief heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "You go and call a few more people, let's go to the Zhao Manor first to ask clearly, if we really want someone, we will come back and bring someone there." ”
Zhang Dayan immediately responded, turned around and left.
This year is not easy, although the rebellious army did not arrive in Shangcai, but Shangcai has to pay military taxes, and there are three taxes that have just been added to the autumn tax this year, in order to complete the taxes set by the county order, the people in the village have almost emptied their families.
Since the winter wheat was planted and the weather began to get colder, every household began to "hibernate", eating a little soup with rice every day, and maintaining it in an immortal state.
More grain should be saved until the spring, when the strong laborers will have to work in the fields, and then they will have to eat twice a day, so that they can have a little strength.
The situation is better like that of the village chief's family, although it will not "hibernate", but it will not be full, and try to save food.
Zhang Dayan can hunt, and he knows some medicinal herbs, so he can go into the mountains, so life is a little better.
But only his family in the whole village had a good life, and he was also uneasy, for fear that one day when he was not at home, someone in the village could not help but be hungry and robbed his house.
So as soon as he got the news, he immediately came back, thinking that if all the young people in the village could go to work in the Zhao manor, then everyone's life would be much better.
Zhang Dayan called someone, and the village chief's son and a few young men brought dry food and went to Zhao's manor, they were far away, and they walked for two days before arriving.
Unlike the depressed scene outside, before they arrived at the Zhao manor, they saw people working in the fields.
Zhang Dayan had enough strength, ran over directly to look, and saw more than 20 people digging the soil, "Brother, what are you doing here?" ”
The worker looked up at him and said, "Dig a ditch." ”
"Is it the aqueduct of the Zhao Manor?"
The other party responded, and Zhang Dayan immediately asked, "Then does the manor still need people now?" ”
Only then did the other party look up and look at Zhang Dayan seriously, and saw that they were all young and strong, so he nodded, "Yes, we need people to dig canals, dig reservoirs, cut wood, quarry and transport stones." ”
Zhang Dayan asked, "How much can I get a day?" ”
"There are eight to fifteen wen, depending on what you dare to live, and the heavy wages are also more," the other party said: "Two meals a day." ”
The person behind Zhang Dayan hurriedly asked, "Where do the people from outside live?" ”
"There is a house for helpers in Zhuangzi, rest assured, it's warmer than at home."
When the people of Zhangjia Village heard this, they immediately urged Zhang Dayan to go to the manor to find a steward quickly.
