Jintong came to Niutouzhuang this time, and the first task was to reward the people of Niutouzhuang and establish her authority as the owner, followed by vacation.

The next day, Jintong asked Zhao Laosan to gather all the people in Niutouzhuang, more than 2,000 people stood densely in the entire grain drying field, Jintong sat under the temporary shed, and drank tea calmly under the service of the two maids.

Wu Ping and a few Hou Mansion guards first pushed a large cart of cloth out, and then carried two baskets of copper coins and three baskets of silver ingots, and the bottom suddenly boiled.

Zhao Laosan waved the list in his hand, and his eldest son Zhao Mao Donkey struck the gong vigorously beside him, and the bottom gradually became quiet. Zhao Laosan was angry and shouted: "Silence! Quiet! ”

More than 2,000 people saw the guards of Jintong standing on both sides of Jintong in a row, all of them strong and strong, so they honestly quieted down, but among the ten people, at least nine and a half people's eyes were firmly fixed on the five baskets of silver.

Zhao Laosan crossed his waist and stood on a wooden pier with stepping feet, and said loudly: "Madame knows that in the past few months, our people in Niutouzhuang have worked hard, so they specially came to reward us." As long as you are not lazy in the past few months and are willing to work hard, you will be rewarded according to your merits now. Don't make a noise, men, for whoever I read by name will come up and receive the prize. ”

Everyone below was excited when they heard the words, and they were all gearing up, Zhao Laosan said who was, and the person ran forward to receive the reward, and the natural cheers of the ingots, and those who got the copper plate will inevitably be blushing at those who receive more rewards.

As long as there is someone to help in the whole villa, whether it is Jintong's own slaves or tenant farmers, even if it is a short-term worker hired from outside, basically every household will be rewarded with a piece of cloth.

Among the more than 2,000 people, more than 300 people were rewarded with two copper coins, more than 600 people were rewarded with 10 taels of silver, and nearly 100 particularly outstanding people received 50 taels of silver.

In this way, at least one person in every household will receive a bounty, and those who have a large family and are willing to contribute will have an income of hundreds of taels of silver. Ten days later is the autumn harvest, this year's wind and rain are smooth, it is clear that it is a bumper harvest year, plus this silver reward, next year even if there is no harvest can live.

The whole threshing field was full of joy, many people were together, and the stupid family took turns biting the silver ingots, for fear that it was a dream, and they flew without taking a bite of the silver ingots. The man who had taken the fifty taels of silver was even more eager to go home and hide the silver, for fear that someone else would steal it.

There are also some people who are indignant, hating themselves for taking less, looking down on others, and saying strange things.

Jintong stood up, and the people below knew that she had something to say, and they were suddenly silent.

"Do not be discouraged if you have no silver reward, or only two copper coins! Think about it yourself, why can others get ten taels of silver, fifty taels of silver, and you only get two taels of money or even no money? As long as you are willing to work hard and don't be lazy or tricky, next year, maybe you will get ten taels, fifty taels of silver, or even more, and Mrs. Ben will never treat her loyal and diligent people badly! The crowd below shouted hello.

Jin Tong raised his voice and continued: "There are three other people who have made great contributions in the reconstruction of Niutouzhuang and winemaking, and Mrs. Ben will reward them with one thousand taels of silver. ”

One thousand taels of silver! Many tenant farmers below were excited, God, one thousand taels of silver, it's enough for a nine-rank official Guangzong Yaozu, right?

Tenant farmers are not slaves, but also belong to good people, Niutouzhuang has always been kind, only 20% of the rent, in the event of a disaster, even open a granary to help them these tenant farmers.

On the occasion of the harvest year, in addition to the food of one family, the surplus is taken out and sold, and it can earn three or five taels of silver, tear up half a piece of cloth, and buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which is considered a good family.

In the past six months, Zhao Laosan has hired a lot of tenant farmers to get up early and help with the work, and according to the difficulty of the work, he will receive 300 copper plates to 800 copper plates a month, which has made many people rush to work. Now that Jintong has made a move, the meritorious people can still receive such a high reward, so that many tenant farmers have the idea of simply selling themselves into slavery.

"Zhao Laosan and Zhao Zhuangtou, everyone can see it, day and night at the brewing workshop, everyone is tired and half of them have lost weight. Mrs. Ben rewarded him with a thousand taels of silver, and his three sons were all good! Mrs. Ben is in charge, let Zhao Gou remain, and return to the Hou Mansion with Mrs. Ben, and Mrs. Ben will arrange a bright future for him. ”

If you can follow you to the Zhengyipin Pingning Marquis Mansion, it is at least worth a seventh-grade official. If you win the favor of the Marquis of Pingning, it is really a promising future, and the family can follow the chicken dog to heaven.

Even if it is not good, do more work, receive fifty taels of silver, and marry a daughter-in-law in a beautiful scenery. Many young men below are eager to try, but they can't wait to immediately roll up their sleeves and go to the brewing workshop to give Jintong a good appreciation.

Zhao Laosan has three sons, the eldest Zhao donkey, the second Zhao Gengtian, the third Zhao Gou, and a daughter, whose name is better: Zhao Dahua.

Jin Tong asked Zhao Laosan for his opinion early in the morning, Zhao Laosan himself had already planned, the eldest son could inherit the position of his head of the village, and the second son had a lot of strength, he was very honest, and he could not bend a tendon, so he could only stay in the village and do farm work. With him and his eldest son helping him, there is no problem in a safe life without accidents.

As for his daughter Zhao Dahua, she has already talked about a good family, and Jintong has rewarded a lot this year, which is enough to give his daughter twelve dowries to get married.

Although the youngest son Zhao Gou's name is the most ugly, he is the smartest, only thirteen years old, and he will never forget it. Jintong promised to arrange for him to go to the academy to study, and with the Pingning Marquis Mansion as a backer, the future is bright.

Zhao Laosan only felt that the hard work of the past half a year was not in vain, and he fell on the ground and knocked a few times.

Jintong rewarded the blue sea with another thousand taels of silver, and promised him to rest for ten days after the autumn harvest and gather with his family.

(Lan Dahai is the wife of Mama Chu in the needlework room, and she has been sick in bed before.) Later, Jintong helped find a few famous doctors to cure his illness, and knew that he was proficient in agricultural affairs, and originally helped Zheng Qiyan manage a Zhuangzi. Since he has been sick for the past few years, he is recuperating at home, and the work on Zhuangzi's side is replaced by others. Jin Tong simply asked Wu An for him to come to Niujiazhuang to help, originally to give a grace and let Mama Chu work with peace of mind without worries. Unexpectedly, he picked up a treasure, and Lan Dahai not only helped Zhao Laosan manage the entire Niutouzhuang cultivation in an orderly manner, but also basically planted dozens of crops that Zheng Qiyan brought from southern Xinjiang to Jintong. It has added a lot of color to Jintong, a foodie's table. ）

The remaining 1,000 taels were rewarded to Lu Liu.

At this time, everyone below was very excited, shouting in a mess to show loyalty to Jintong, thank Jintong, self-recommendation, and make a commotion.

Zhao Laosan struck the gong several times before he suppressed the big guy's voice.
