22. Go back to ancient times and engage in a career

Today is a full load, and it is still a taxi that costs more than 100 yuan to return to the town.

Jorya wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue. It's only been April, and she's tired and sweating profusely, and she doesn't even want to go out in the summer.

It is best to contact a cooperative factory to send it directly by express, and it is convenient to pick up the express delivery at the entrance of the village every time.

Qiao Erya looked at the mobile phone logistics again, and the things she bought had just been shipped, and they would not be delivered until the day after tomorrow at the latest.

She carried Xiao Jinyou to the entrance of the village, and a bunch of people gathered at the entrance of the village.

Joerya didn't want to see the excitement, but the people gathered blocked the road tightly.

"What's going on?"

The well-wishers who watched the excitement told her: "The factory that bought the land in our village has collapsed, and everyone is begging for wages." ”

There is a factory in the village, which is at the junction of the two villages, not exclusively in their village.

In addition to the employees brought by the factory, temporary workers are usually recruited from the village for large orders, and there are also a few aunts in the village who work in the factory.

The wages paid in the factories are not high, but they are an extra income for the farmers.

Who would have thought that this factory would not be able to open after a few years of operation, and it would be in arrears with wages in the village.

What makes the villagers even more uncomfortable is the closure of the factory, and the village's dividends at the end of the year will definitely be less than half of the money.

The money for dividends in the village is generally the share of the land sold or leased to the villagers, and each person can share 1,500 yuan.

There are a total of two factories in the village, and the dividends are directly cut in half, which is uncomfortable to think about.

Qiao Erya listened to a few words of gossip, and finally carried Xiao Jinyou out of the crowd.

Xiao Jinyou came all the way to meet the scolding villagers, and the collapse of the factory made everyone very angry.

He was worried about the impact on Miss Joe.

"Aren't you worried?"

Joerya shrugged: "What are you worried about?" I can't get a share of the money. ”

"Dividends are money given to the people in the village. My hukou is not here, it's none of my business, and my daughter who marries outside will not be shared. "Her mother didn't have any since she got married, let alone her.

Xiao Jinyou thought thoughtfully: "I thought that everyone who lived in the village could share it. ”

Qiao Erya complained ruthlessly: "Then you are too young." ”

More people means more people who share the money. The rent is fixed, the population is circulating, and no one wants to give their own money to others.

——————————

Jorya opened her eyes in her sleep when she heard the sound of Sissy Suo's voice.

Siu Kam Woo is getting dressed, and it is the last part to tie the belt.

She propped her head on one hand and felt like an irresponsible, domineering president afterwards.

Xiao Jinyou turned around and was startled.

"Miss Qiao, are you awake? Am I moving too much? ”

Jorya nodded lazily: "Little, I thought the room was a mouse." ”

Xiao Jinyou felt sorry: "I'll take it lightly next time." ”

She said it didn't matter: "I can't always stay in bed, you get up so early every day?" ”

It's only six o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Jinyou is more diligent than high school students!

Xiao Jinyou had a shy look on his face: "I want people to hang the clock in the study." ”

Xing Horn, it turned out that he was in a hurry to show off.

Jorya rolled over wrapped in the quilt. "I'll sleep for another hour and get up again at eight."

She opened her eyes again, and it was getting dark.

Joerya called the maidservant to come in and help her get dressed and hairstyled.

Yunsheng's cheeks were red: "The prince ordered the kitchen to keep breakfast simple and eliminate waste this morning, and the affairs in the house are arranged by the girl." ”

In her heart, Miss Qiao is so valued by the prince, she must be an ironclad princess.

Joerya was shocked: "What? Leave the affairs of the house to me?! I don't want it! ”

Yunshang was puzzled: "Why did the girl resist the housekeeper?" "Isn't that a good thing?

Qiao Erya: "Your palace is so big, there must be a lot of messy things, and I still have my own business to be busy with." Before, the palace arranged it according to it. ”

Yunshang couldn't figure it out. Housekeeping means that the stewardship of the entire family has been handed over to Miss Qiao, which is equivalent to the prince's recognition of her identity, and Miss Qiao can walk sideways in the house.

But Miss Qiao didn't want to.

She also wanted to say a few words, but was stopped by Bingxin.

After Joerya finished combing her hair, she trotted to the bedroom and pulled out the mirror from her suitcase.

The dressing mirror was not easy to bring back, so Qiao Erya bought a makeup mirror.

Sure enough, I was beautiful in the mirror.

Joerya was overjoyed: "Your skills in combing your hair are really good. ”

She pulled out a few glass balls from the box.

"Take it, and enjoy your gadgets."

She specially chose a solid-colored glass ball for Bingxin, which looked more expensive than other colors.

"This is the reward from last time. I'm going to ask you for help next time, don't refuse. ”

Even Bingxin, who has a steady temperament, wiped her hands on her clothes excitedly before solemnly taking the jewel from Miss Qiao last time.

Yunshang thanked her excitedly several times.

"Alright, don't get excited. If you two like it, keep doing well. You can sell whatever I give you or what you want to do with it, but I warn you that it's best to sell a few at a high price to save some money. ”

Yunshang and Bingxin were specially trained when they were in Yaxing, and they were specially trained as handmaidens. Because of this, I know that not all masters are as kind and generous as Miss Qiao.

They are lowly servants, not slaves born to their masters. Their deeds of sale are in the hands of the master, and they will be beaten or killed by the master.

If you are lucky enough to meet a good master, you naturally don't have to be afraid. I'm afraid of meeting the kind of master who takes pleasure in torturing his subordinates.

When they were first bought, they were worried that they would not be able to be sold. Whether it is sold to a lame blind man as a daughter-in-law, or sold to a pickled land, it is the most terrible ending.

Fortunately, they accumulated virtue in their previous lives, and the new master was not only generous, but also told them that they could marry in the future.

If it weren't for the lack of choice, which innocent girl would be willing to be a concubine for someone else?

Bingxin has ambition in her eyes, and her ambition is to become a celebrity in front of her master and a trusted henchman of her master. In the future, if the master and the prince achieve positive results, there will be more maids, and he is the big maid next to the master.

Her ambition has never been to rely on men to gain status. She and Yunshang were both sold by their relatives for money, and they have experienced being abandoned, and they understand that it is better to rely on others than on themselves. Treating people with lust will eventually be rejected one day, so it is better to become the most favored maid.

The first-class maid of a large family can be regarded as a lady of a small family when she is placed outside, not to mention that her vision and emotional intelligence far exceed that of the girl in the village.

As long as you follow the right master, even if it's a slave?

Jorya didn't know that just because of the reward she gave casually, she completely bought the loyalty of the two handmaidens.

After breakfast, Qiao Erya went to the study to find Xiao Jinyou and learned that he went out after installing the wall clock, so she simply took the two maidservants to see the shop.

At this time, Xiao Jinyou was inspecting the situation in the village outside the city of Qiongzhou.

The capital resembles a modern provincial capital. Even the people of the villages around the capital live in poverty, let alone the rest of Qiongzhou.

He knew early on that Qiongzhou was hard, but he didn't expect the local people to live in such poverty.

This time, he brought a few bags of improved cereals, which were highly recommended by the seed shop owner.

He picked a few of each, and Miss Qiao helped him to make an excuse that he was going to open a farm, and wanted to see what kind of millet would be more delicious.

So the owner of the seed shop picked several different seeds for him, all of which were the most popular types of rice with high yields per mu.

So as not to worry about being deceived, Miss Qiao helped him check that the yield per mu of these seeds is 1,000 catties, and even the regenerated rice with the lowest yield per mu can reach 900 catties.

Considering that Qiongzhou is now short of grain, he selected several rice varieties with higher yields per mu. Let the people eat and drink enough first, and then consider planting regenerative rice.

He took people around and finally fell in love with the fields of three families.

These three paddy fields have been cultivated and have not yet begun to be planted.

Xiao Jinyou sent his subordinates to invite the three family stewards out.

Two old men and a middle-aged woman cramped up to him.

They heard that there were nobles in the village, and this matter had nothing to do with them, and they didn't know why they suddenly called them over for questioning.

Xiao Jinyou: "Why haven't the three of you started spring planting yet?" ”

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and she was nervous about what had happened to the man who had gone out to sea to fish.

"Our seeds are damp, and when the seedlings come out of the village, we will give us some evenness."

A few days ago, it rained heavily for several days and nights, and all the grains at home were soaked in water. Although the grain seeds had to be soaked before they germinated, when she found them, the seeds were all soaked.

The other two are in a similar situation, both waiting to share some extra seedlings from the village.

The three of them all know in their hearts that they are afraid that this year will be difficult.

The woman's family is fine, a family of three, and the man is worried that he will not have to eat in the second half of the year, so he takes advantage of the current wind and waves to go to the sea to catch some seafood to dry.

The two old men have a large family population, and they each have not only sons but also grandchildren, and they have seven or eight mouths waiting to eat.

Siu Kam Yau motioned for his subordinates to take out the seeds.

"I have seeds here, see if you want to plant them?"

The woman hurriedly said, "I do!" My paddy field is ready-made! ”

The two old men thought about it more.

The thin old man: "Dare to ask why the noble man let us plant this seed?" ”

"To tell you the truth, I need someone to help me experiment, I need to plant carefully, and if I plant it, I will divide half of your food."

As soon as he said this, even the woman who actively agreed hesitated.

The woman hesitated: "I'm afraid it's a little less." She wanted to refuse directly, but she was afraid of offending this nobleman.

"How do you know how much you can harvest from an acre of land if you don't try? What's more, you don't have seeds, even if you get some seedlings from the village, the harvest will be similar to mine, right? ”

That's true.

Anyway, it's not the seed that sows anyone. Everyone said to give them even seedlings, in case someone has not enough seedlings and scores them to give away, people may complain about them!

It is better to rely on others than on yourself, and maybe you will be careful to serve the mu with more production capacity.

The woman and the two old men finally agreed to help Xiao Jinyou plant this seed. Now they don't know that a few months later, the three of them have become the most envied three families in the local area.

Other people's rice yields 400 catties per mu and smiles from ear to ear, while they have 1,500 catties per acre.

Although it is not regenerated rice, this whole more than 1,000 catties of grain is enough for the whole family to eat for two years.

Xiao Jinyou only blew up his identity at this time.

"I am King An, and I now live in Qiongzhou. If you encounter problems with planting, you can come to Anwangfu, the capital of Qiongzhou, to find someone to talk to. ”

He identified himself at this time, which was to let these people honestly plant the seeds he gave, and not think about riding a donkey to find a horse.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard his identity, the three farmers hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Xiao Jinyou asked people to help them up.

"As long as you plant well, you don't have to worry about the harvest. I asked the three of you to supervise each other, and I hope you compete amicably. If it is to show that you are deliberately framing others, think about your relatives in your family, this king has the right to connect the nine clans. ”

The three farmers were stunned when they heard it, and they didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, in short, what they were holding in their hands was no longer fragrant dumplings, but severed incense.

After Xiao Jinyou finished dealing with the rice matter, he was busy planning to build the road. Manpower is a problem, and there are not many people under him who can use it, so I hope that my uncle can move to the island as soon as possible to share his worries.

He still has a lot of plans, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. There is no plan and no manpower, which is really embarrassing.

——————————

Jorya has lost count of the number of times she has collapsed.

When I went out before, it was clear that both sides of the street were very tidy.

Now she understands that only the main roads are clean and tidy, and the rest of the streets can only be described as yue.

The streets in ancient times were not as neat and clean as in costume dramas, and even because of the use of ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and mule carts, there was manure everywhere.

She almost hit the "thunder" several times, and the shoes on her feet no longer wanted.

And to match the ancient costume, she wore embroidered shoes.

The more Qiao Erya thinks about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, can Xiao Jinyou get the urban environmental sanitation done first!

I've only heard on forums that the streets in ancient times were dirty and messy, and she watched them all for fun, who would have thought that she would be fun?

The main road is clean, and the shops there are almost all local.

Don't think that there are no rich businessmen and rich people in this kind of poor place, those officials who were assigned to Qiongzhou as officials can only stay here, and they can be regarded as a small wealthy family after accumulation for generations.

What's more, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the local area is not so useless. There are also good things that have not been discovered by ordinary people, and of course they must be monopolized by them.

Back to the point.

Giorya couldn't find a shop on the main road, so she thought about trying somewhere else, who knew that after walking less than 200 meters, she was about to sick to her stomach.

Bingxin and Yunshang were worried, for fear that Miss Qiao would not be able to eat at noon.

Jorya said that it is true that you can eat less at noon, is there any appetite for this?

Luckily, she found a store in a good location that was moving things out, and it looked like it was closed.

Joerya endured a large lump of cow dung at the door and stepped forward to talk to someone.

"Are you going to renovate your store?"

The middle-aged man dressed in a gray short shirt sneered: "The little girl is not from the island, is she?" There is no business on this street, and the decoration is to pour money inside. ”

Joerya thought to herself, "Is this shop yours or are you renting?" ”

"I bought the storefront, and I'm going to sell it and go home to farm. I originally thought that there were few shops in Qiongzhou, and how could I get back by opening a store. Who would have thought that he lost a lot of money in Qiongzhou, and he didn't earn a penny back, and he posted hundreds of dollars upside down. If I don't sell the store anymore, I'm afraid the whole family will drink the northwest wind. ”

Good guy, although this person has a modern business vision, but the local consumption power is too low, and it is indeed not easy to return to the cost of opening a store.

Unless something is particularly new, or the food tastes particularly good, it can be developed.

The reason why Jorja liked this shop was because it was close to the harbour, at the very end of the street.

And the front of the store is very large, there are no shops on the opposite side, and there is a stone staircase leading to the port.

Wouldn't it be nice to open a food stall at the door and eat barbecue with the sea breeze?

Jorya was satisfied.

She smiled and groaned: "Since you want to sell? What do you think about selling it to me? ”
