Start of the famine: Take the crazy batch of sisters to farm and make a fortune

There is no one to invite, not only the thoughts of everyone in the village, but also old man Ding's.

Old man Ding, who had been reminded by the boss, had already thought of a countermeasure early in the morning.

In fact, as early as the day when Shiliu opened his stall, he knew from He Boss that the government would levy corvee, but he didn't expect that the government would do so terribly this time.

Now, not only the fields can't be planted, but also the house can't be built!

The countermeasures he had thought up early in the morning were completely useless.

"Let's hire people outside the mansion, if possible." Ding Xue said crisply: "There are no seedlings yet, the fields are being tended, and every family is short of manpower. It is unknown when the uncles will come back. Before they come back, we They all need help."

It is impossible to find someone inside the mansion, and the only way to find someone outside the mansion is that the procedures are very cumbersome, and if you want to use someone, you have to go to the government.

Old man Ding recalled it in a second, and immediately, he turned and entered the room.

"Master Zhang, I don't know if the mansion can support the matter of going out of the mansion to ask for work?"

Zhang Qiang and Zhang Qiang, who had just drank the sugar water brought in by Mrs. Qiao, immediately showed admiring eyes.

Putting down the bowl, Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "It is impossible for the government to delay the important event of spring planting. The crops selected by the government have already arrived in Lu County, and they will arrive in Fucheng at the most the day after tomorrow. , Just come to the city to pick up people when you turn around."

"Is there a limit on the number of people?" Old man Ding couldn't suppress his excitement: "If you don't care about the number of people, I want to move the fields from Ning County when everyone is free later."

Zhang Qiang didn't immediately respond to old man Ding's words, but first exchanged glances with his companion.

"Brother Ding, you can use this person anyway, the price is similar to what you hired before, but your family may not be able to do the business of setting up a stall in front of the city gate. On the [-]th day, there was a commotion in Ning County. Now, konjac is already being dug in Ning County."

Konjac is equal to water tofu, even those who have never eaten it find it incredible, let alone those who have eaten it.

The Ding family's boldness not only made Zhang Qiang admire, but also made him feel unbelievable.

Of course, the intention is also worthy of admiration.

If it weren't for konjac, a food that can be pushed out temporarily, the matter of conscripting labor would not be so tight.

The Ding family wanted the poor people to take it easy, and it was two different things from officials seizing the opportunity to conscript labor. Zhang Qiang didn't blame old man Ding.

"In a few days at most, there should be rumors in the city. At that time, your family may not be able to face it!"

"Thank you for reminding me." Old man Ding saluted respectfully.

Zhang Qiang stood up and supported the person: "You and my brother, there is no need to say these things."

There were people from the village waiting outside the door, and the two of them were not free today, so old man Ding didn't stay in the house too much, and after chatting with the two of them, he left the hall.

When the villagers know that the government has imported labor, they feel less anxious, but the Li family and the Wang family are different.

For these two families, they can barely achieve the first three words of the word "delicious and lazy".

How could they go if the Ding family didn't go to serve in corvée.

"Brother-in-law, my legs and feet are not good..."

"If you want me to buy people for you with the money I gave you to buy the land, I have no objection." Old Man Ding said coldly.

Then Uncle Li, who was about to ask if he could buy me a human head, stopped talking immediately.

He has no hope, let alone the Wang family, but how can a person live without dreams?
"My nephew, look, 20 taels is not a problem for you at all, why don't you give it to our family?"

In the Wang family, there are four males who meet the age requirements. If old man Ding dares to nod his head, it is definitely more than the 80 taels. It is estimated that he will pay for the poll tax last year and this year.

"My in-laws, grandma, you're amazing. 20 taels is not a lot for my family. If the children weren't there, the children would definitely be able to participate in the work and rest home. It would be great if they could do more for themselves and the people." It's good." Old man Ding refused without blushing or panting.

The old lady wanted to try harder, but everyone in the village spoke up.
-
"Our family has [-] acres of land. After the eldest son and the son's father leave, it's just me and the second wife. Before they come back, at least there must be a helper."
-
"My family has a lot of land, so I need two laborers to help me."
-
"My family is alone."
-
"There are two in my family."

Obviously, everyone can stop chattering together, but just to prevent Mrs. Wang from grabbing Mrs. Ding and continuing to disturb her, everyone scrambled to speak out, covering up Mrs. Wang's voice.

In a short while, the time and days that each family needs manpower, and the number of livestock of service personnel in the village are counted.

"Are you two sure you want to settle down in the village?" The old village chief asked with airs.

Those keen old eyes are satisfied you don't want to.

"My family is sure." Uncle Li was forced to show his attitude: "I will go."

Mrs. Wang still wanted to work hard, but when she looked at Old Man Ding, the old village head spit out: "It seems that you are not sure, since you are not from our village, you don't have to take this matter seriously today. "

If you don't register here, you have to go back to your hometown to register. If you go back to your hometown, you will have no property.

"Who's to say we can't be sure. We've already chosen the land for our house." Mrs. Wang put her waist down, her attitude was very bad and arrogant.

The old village head squinted at her: "As the village head, I have the right to drive away residents who the villagers don't like."

The arrogance of the old lady suddenly became low, and everyone in the Wang family also bowed their heads like quails.

"How many people in your family?" The old village chief asked knowingly.

The two brothers of the Wang family will eventually have a fourth after you look at me and I look at you for a while.

In addition to their brothers, there are two children!

The village head counted again, and then entered the main room with old man Ding.

For Zhang Qiang and the others, Yuequan Village was undoubtedly the best place to conquer. After a while, everything was recorded.

Blowing ink, the official surnamed Wang couldn't restrain himself.

"You actually have 51 wild asses and two wild oxen?"

Even though he knew that Zhang Qiang's idea of ​​rounding up wild animals came from old man Ding, the effect of implementing it was not so good.

Naturally, he didn't think too much about Yuequan Village.

Unexpectedly, they are the only ones who can't make the effect.

If people don't ask, there's no need to say anything. If they ask, of course they have to answer honestly.

The old village head immediately explained that Ding's land development affected the early infestation of nearby wild animals, and the dead branches and leaves piled up for drying just trapped the actual situation of the influx of wild animals in the later stage.

"Deep into the dense forest to lure, no wonder you can have these gains!"

The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people are all in place, so there can be no good results there.

After nodding, he put away the scroll.

The two still had tasks to do, so they quickly shook hands and left.

When leaving, old man Ding stuffed two loads of seasoning packets.

The men had to leave home in a few days, and no one was in the mood to watch Mrs. Wang's excitement, so they all left Qiao's house together.

Seeing that old man Ding would not come out after entering the house, Mrs. Wang slammed on the door.
