The next morning, Tian Datou and his daughter-in-law came to Shen Yunxi, and the village chief came to testify: "Youqing's family, go to the field now." If we think it's okay, we'll make a decision. When someone comes to the Yamen, we will directly put that piece of land in your name. ”

Shen Yunxi nodded: "Okay, village chief, you go with me to see how the wasteland is doing."

Tamura said, "Okay, I'll go with you after washing my face."

Shen Yunxi and Tian Village Chief walked to the wasteland of Tian's big head together. It's a hillside. From top to bottom, the grass and roots on the ground were pulled out, and the ground was turned neatly. Not with a plow, but with a shovel. The soil is dug deep and the ditches are neat and orderly.

From this we can see the intention of the pioneers,

Tian has a bad temper and bad character, but I have to say that he is hard-working.

On such a hot day, no one will reclaim wasteland. Tian Datou took his four sons to reclaim wasteland in the fields, becoming the family with the most land in the village.

Shen Yunxi was surprised and praised him and said, "Uncle Tian, this is really an ancient way of farming. The land is good. The village chief also came. By the way, I'll give you as much silver as you want. I'm not going to take advantage of your family. ”

Tian didn't expect Shen Yunxi to be so direct and generous, and nodded: "Then there will be a nephew and daughter-in-law to manage these lands in the future, let's measure the land now."

Both Tamura and Tada know how to measure the land, so there is no fraud between them.

Half an hour later, they measured the land, and it was sixteen and a half acres, and a total of thirty-three taels of silver.

Shen Yunxi gave Tian Datou ten taels of silver as a deposit in front of the village chief and others. Register the land in Shen Yunxi's name, and pay another twenty-three taels of silver.

Tian took the silver in his head, and his hands trembled. Although he knew that in two years, these lands would be sold for eight taels of silver per acre, but now he was very tight.

Luckily, he has a lot of power. He also had four sons. If you have time, you can reclaim wasteland, and you can reclaim seven or eight acres of land in a month.

If you can plant, plant it. If you can't, you can sell it to Shen Yunxi.

The group walked back, talking and talking.

"Youqing family, do you want my family to open up the wasteland in the future?" Tian asked with a big head. He was worried that more than thirty taels of silver would not be enough to build a house.

Shen Yunxi listened and said with a smile: "Yes, but I don't want it piece by piece."

The village chief saw that Shen Yunxi had just bought so much land, and there were more women and children in the family. How could he finish planting?

"Youqing family, you have bought so much land, and only a few people in your family can't finish it." Tamura asked, "What should I do if I'm busy?"

Shen Yunxi said with a smile: "Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, I can't finish planting these lands." My family is full of women and children, and I can't really do that much work, but I can hire villagers to do it for me! Ten dollars a day for light work, 20 dollars a day for heavy work, and one lunch. When you're busy, call someone else to do the work. ”

Hearing this, several of her followers were already enlightened.

Yang Dacui smiled: "Do you want to recruit women?"

Shen Yunxi nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, pick melons." Women are lightweight, do it faster and better than men. ”

"Well, I'll arrange it for you in the village when the time comes. There must be people who want to work here. Yang Dacui got Shen Yunxi's secret recipe for boiling water. She was very grateful to Shen Yunxi and wanted to repay her whenever she had the opportunity.

Others were also thinking that if there was nothing to do at home, Shen Yunxi would have work to do, and they and their families could do it too.

Even if it is a very light job, you can earn ten cents a day, and it is cost-effective to buy a pound of rice, a pound of noodles, and a pound of boiled water.
