Chapter 211: Three Years
The cloth mill is going well.
Bai Xia held the conversion pool in his hand, and he didn't have to worry about sales, and there were people in Dou'er Village and the surrounding villages.
She has been in Dou'er Village for a few months, and everyone has been able to eat enough.
I can wear a top.
This is one of the poorest villages, and the women of the surrounding villages are not even willing to marry here, but in just a few months, their lives have changed dramatically.
When the cloth mill was opened, the big guys would work in the cloth mill when they were not busy, because in addition to the regular workers who received 300 wen a month, there was also a separate weaving mill, and the money was calculated according to the cloth woven, and there was no rent.
As a result, many people who were afraid of the high rent and could not afford to buy a loom returned the machine and simply went to work in the cloth mill.
Free time, do not delay the farm work at home.
It's just a bit bad that the extra woven cloth can't be taken away by yourself, it's all from the factory.
The monthly salary of 300 wen is about the same as going to a large family to do long-term work.
If you go to work in a big family, you can't go back home easily, unlike the cloth mill in the village, where you can go back at any time.
In this way, while farming and working, the family has more and more money.
The thatched houses in the village gradually disappeared, and the mud houses were built, which were large and spacious, and even some families with a lot of people went up the mountain to beat stones and build bluestone tiled houses.
Everyone's life is getting better and better, three meals a day, not only can you eat dry rice, sometimes you can even eat meat.
It was under such circumstances that in the summer of the second year after coming to the village, Bai Xia built a new tofu workshop.
She was eleven years old at the time, but she was already like an adult, with a height of nearly 1.7 meters.
None of the girls in the village were taller than her.
Walk on the trail of the mountain village.
For the sake of convenience, everyone paid for the repair of the road in the village, and the stones from the back mountain were paved, so that the feet could not be dirty on rainy days, but they could not dirty the trouser legs.
The stones are pieced together in the middle of the dirt, and at first glance it looks quite meaningful.
The paddy fields at the east end of the village are yellow, orange and orange, and the ears of rice are swaying in the wind, and a piece of rice fragrance enters the tip of people's noses along the wind.
"Miss Xia's grain grows so well in this field"
"No, the turnips in the field at that time were also growing very well like this grain."
"I heard Chunhua's sister-in-law say that Miss Xia's pig manure is all dried to fertile"
"Really? Then let's raise two pigs and try it later."
The voice of the woman's whispered conversation penetrated Bai Xia's ears, and the big guy became rich, and he began to raise livestock slowly, and there were many pigs in the village.
They all thought that the 300 acres of land in Baixia were because of pig manure and fertile fertilizer, but in fact, it was because of the good seeds used in Baixia and the fertilizer in the conversion pond.
However, it is not wrong that the sun-dried pig manure itself can be used for fertile fertilizer.
The first year of growing grain in Baixia was a bumper harvest, whether it was the court or God, it was very face-saving, there were no moths, and everyone spent the year peacefully.
Every year's grain, everyone will choose the best grown, and this year, no matter which family's grain, it is not as good as the grain in the white summer field.
So the village chief came out to find Bai Xia and wanted to buy grain from her field to plant.
Bai Xia naturally would not refuse.
Everyone had good seeds, and they used sun-dried pig manure to fertilize them, and in the second year, the harvest was much better than the previous year.
There are also very few bad seeds.
It is worth mentioning that due to the rapid changes in Dou'er Village, life has passed, and there are villagers from nearby villages who come to Dou'er Village to find work.
Bai Xia is suspicious of few people, seeing this situation, of course welcome.
Not all the cloth in her cloth workshop was collected into the conversion pool, and Yu Dahai was also arranged to pull them to the town and county to sell.
There were few people in the village before, and there were not many cloths, plus Bai Xia collected most of them into the transformation pool, and only a small part of them would be sold by Yu Dahai, so they didn't attract the attention of others.
With the improvement of the situation in Dou'er Village, it has attracted a lot of people from other villages, and Baixia recruits people who do not pay attention to their status, as long as they have a good character, they can come.
The cloth mill expanded and expanded, and more and more cloth was produced.
If it continues like this, it will soon attract the attention of the government.
Although all the cloth produced is cotton, there is no silk or cloud brocade and other cloth, after a large amount, it will also attract the attention of others, and now many of the raw materials for making cloth are taken from the conversion pool.
The finished product is also sent to the conversion tank.
But after attracting attention, someone will definitely check the source of her raw materials and the sales of her finished products.
So Bai Xia began to ask Yu Dahai to buy cotton and sell finished cloth in large quantities to divert the attention of others.
Those that couldn't be sold were piled up in the warehouse and locked, but in fact, she secretly put them into the conversion pool.
On the surface, he sells cloth, but secretly he sells grain.
Using the cover of the cloth mill, the grain was sold to the villagers who came to work.
The farther villages only saw that the days of the ten miles and eight towns around Dou'er Village were getting better and better, and the road was getting wider and wider, but they didn't know why this happened.
Three years passed in a hurry.
Bai Xia is also thirteen years old, and Li Xiuyuan has also grown from a six-year-old little douding to a teenager.
The green cloth carriage turned and whirled, pressing against the stone-paved avenue, smoother than anywhere else.
"The white girl is amazing, I came here once three years ago, and it didn't look like this at that time"
Lifting the curtain and glancing at the straight stone avenue outside, Qishan sighed with emotion.
Liu Yunzhai allocated ten people to Bai Xia, and no one was sent over later.
Three years have passed, and the number of personnel has not increased, but Qishan has come to deliver news to Bai Xia at the beginning.
In recent years, the emperor has been diligent in government and loves the people, and has governed the country very well, supported by important ministers in the court, and the power of the imperial family is very stable.
It's just that there is only one thing, the beauty has not changed, and in the past three years, more than 30 beauties have been added to the palace.
But it's still the concubine who is uniquely favored.
Li Xiuyuan got the news that the emperor had decided to prohibit the sale of land, and the holy decree was written and sent to Jiazhou.
It's just that the people haven't arrived yet, and after they arrive, the entire territory of Jiazhou will prohibit private buying and selling of land and forests.
In order to buy Liu Yunzhai and the surrounding mountains, it must be done before the Holy Decree arrives.
Otherwise, all unclaimed land will be owned by the imperial court, and if the land is sold, it can only be sold to the imperial court.
As long as you buy it, it will be impossible for the emperor to take it back in a short time.
Even if he wanted to, the family would not agree.
Li Xiuyuan lifted the curtain and looked outside, along the way, the official road in Jiazhou and even the official road in Jizhou was not as good as the road in front of him.
Sending Bai Xia outside, on the one hand, is to earn money, and on the other hand, she doesn't want her to participate too much in Liu Yunzhai.
So in the past three years, the two have not seen each other again, except for occasional correspondence.
Now it seems that Bai Xia's life is not bad, no, it should be her life is very good.
On the stalks along the road, there are clusters of green castor beans.
The stone-paved road is smooth and smooth, and when you enter the village, you will see a series of bluestone and blue-tiled houses, located on the ground, spacious and bright.
Among the scattered houses, there are several large blue brick houses, which are more magnificent than the bluestone houses.
