Chapter 54 Workers in place

Within three days, Ziyu walked through the streets and alleys of Xin'an County, and she no longer had any hope for this county with a population of less than 2,000 people.

The measly few soldiers and servants together were less than twenty, and none of them were in the prime of life.

The equipment is even more tattered, and even the knives are rusty.

The county commander's family has to rely on their own farming to feed themselves, let alone the people under them.

This is also the reason why Ziyu can't see soldiers and servants, who is willing to do his best when he doesn't pay for three years.

There is not even a decent inn or liquor store in the city, and the poverty can be imagined.

At noon, Ziyu left 100 taels for room and board for the county order, and 20 taels for Jia scribes to do hardship.

With 405 people, five calves, and more than 2,000 catties of vegetables, he returned to the ship.

A group of people rocked the boat with both longing and apprehension, because no one knew where they were going next.

"Mother, where are we going? Will it be sold by the noble master? Shi Da Niu, who was sitting on the deck, asked Shi Liu in a low voice.

"Don't make a sound, with the county lord as a guarantor, nothing will happen."

In Shi Liu's eyes, the county order is the biggest official, and the noble lord should listen to the county magistrate!

"Mother, I really want to eat meat, if only I could get two pieces of meat, I'll eat one and keep one." Shi Erniu drooled and yearned for the tunnel.

"Shut up! The mother just said that you are not allowed to make a sound, and you forgot again! ”

Shi Da Niu reached out and pinched his greedy younger brother, although he was also drooling, he wouldn't say it.

Shi Liu, who was dressed in patches, sighed and clenched his two sons, who were dressed in shabby clothes.

In order to let the family have a full meal for the old snacks, she also let it go out this time.

The days of not having enough food and clothing are too hard, although the third mother has no skills, but it is no problem to do hard-working work.

In the middle of the next day, a group of people stood in Daxia Bay, looking curiously at this desolate place.

"Mother, there are so many fish jumping!"

Shi Erniu exclaimed in surprise, but was covered by Shi Daniu on the side.

They were the only ones on the deck, and the nobles must have arranged it for fear that they would be bullied.

Can't let the babbling Erniu offend the nobles with too many words.

"Boss, do you know where this is?" Old man Hu asked suspiciously.

As a native of Xin'an County, how could he never have heard of such a place.

When they came, they were all arranged in the warehouse, and they didn't know the route outside.

"Dad, we walked the waterway for a day and a night, and this place is definitely not within the scope of Xin'an County.

Don't worry about it when you're old, let's think about how much work you can do!

There are so many people who can build houses, although everyone knows each other, there will definitely be comparisons. Hu Dayou said worriedly.

"Since I was ten years old, I have been learning to build a house with your grandfather, and who can overshadow me in the new Anxian County." Old man Hu is complacent.

Forty years of experience does not come from the mouth.

"Bring your luggage, line up and follow me, move fast.

Work for a while, and you can catch the morning meal. Sheng Xing stood on a stone and shouted.

It is not possible to settle down so many people in a moment.

It's better to let them all go to work for a while and have lunch.

Ziyu, who got off the boat first, didn't care about the details, and walked towards Xiao Luo, who was rushing towards her.

"Brother, I didn't cry!"

"Xiao Luo is so good, my brother said that he would come back in a few days, and he did it!

Tell me what you've done in the past few days! ”

Ziyu lifted the little guy who was holding her leg and made him giggle.

The helpers never thought that the noble son who was arrogant in their eyes would have such a gentle side.

"Fighting crabs, roasting prawns, playing with sand, and bunnies ......"

Xiao Luo, who was leaning on Ziyu's arms, counted with his fingers, what he had done in the past few days.

"My Xiaoluo has done so many things, will it be very hard!" Ziyu asked quips.

Xiao Luo held Ziyu's face seriously, and said in a milky voice.

"It's not hard, my brother goes out to earn money, and it's even harder.

Xiao Luo has to be obedient. ”

"mu~a, Xiao Luo is so good, who taught you!" Ziyu kissed the little guy's flower face and smiled.

"Brother Hong taught, I sleep with him at night, there!"

Ziyu looked in the direction of Xiao Luo's finger, and built a shack out of wood next to their small tent.

Cheng Yuanju ran over with three small ones, following behind Ziyu.

"Cheng Yuanju, take them to pick vegetables, there are many people eating today, you take them to help in the room."

"Yes, young master!"

Cheng Yuanju, who was officially assigned the task, happily responded, pulling Cheng Yuanshu and running.

Chen Xiaoshan stood there for a moment without moving, looking at Ziyu with blank eyes.

"Chen Xiaoshan, you and Sheng Xiang'er will also go, Xiao Luo will stay with me for the time being."

Chen Xiaoshan didn't run away with Cheng Yuanju, and Ziyu was quite satisfied with this.

At least, he still remembers what his mission was.

"Yes, young master!"

Chen Xiaoshan was so excited that he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and after running two steps, he found that Sheng Xiang'er hadn't followed, and he came back to run together.

Ziyu shook her head and smiled, it is really worthy of the nature of a child, even Sheng Xiang'er, who has learned the rules.

She hugged Xiao Luo and followed, only to see that under the cliff more than one person high, Bao Jiu led the women to clean up fish, shrimp and wild things, and even the two embroidery girls were also helping.

Eight cauldrons lined up are boiling porridge steaming.

"Brother Bao has worked hard!"

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's hard for the little brother to run before and after, and I'm the only one who has this ability.

Little brother, come here and I'll tell you something! Bao Jiu beckoned to Ziyu.

"What's wrong!"

The strong fishy smell rushed straight to his nose, but Ziyu stood side by side with Bao Jiu without changing his face.

"Little brother, there are so many people, it's not a matter of eating fine grains every day!

No matter how big the family is, you can't eat it like this, you have to find a way to get some coarse grains to eat. ”

Bao Jiu was afraid that Ziyu wouldn't understand, so he explained in detail.

"Now there are one hundred and sixteen people who eat, plus children.

The daily food consumption of 100 catties cannot be less, and this is still the case of boiling porridge.

Seafood and game are eaten openly, and enough oil and water can also save some food.

But after a long time, there is no output here, and it will be very troublesome if the food is not available.

There are so many people here today, and the food consumption is at least 500 catties a day, which is not a small amount......"

Ziyu listened to Bao Jiu's sincere words, was very moved, and smiled.

"The eldest brother's words, the younger brother wrote it down.

Brother Bao has never thought about staying, you really can't leave the room. ”

Ziyu saw that although there were many things in the makeshift kitchen, they were well organized, and there were no wasted meals in the garbage heap.

Compared to the serious waste of later generations, this is already very rare.
