Chapter 22 22. Go back to ancient times and start a career

Today I returned with a full load, and still spent more than 100 yuan by taxi to return to the town.

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

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

Qiaoelya looked at the logistics of the mobile phone again. The things she bought have just been shipped, and they will not be delivered until the day after tomorrow at the latest.

She drove Xiao Jinyou to the entrance of the village, where a group of people gathered.

Qiaoelya didn't want to watch the excitement, but the people gathered blocked the road tightly.

"What's going on here?"

A well-meaning person watching the excitement told her: "The factory that bought the land in our village has collapsed, and everyone is asking for wages."

There is a factory in the village, located at the junction of the two villages, it does not belong to their village alone.

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

The wages paid in the factory are not high, but it is considered an extra income for farmers.

Who would have thought that the factory would not be able to continue after several years of operation, and would still owe the village wages.

What makes the villagers even more uncomfortable is that the factory closed down, and the dividends in the village at the end of the year will definitely be reduced by half.

Dividends in the village are generally the share of the land sold or leased to the villagers, and each person can share 1500 yuan.

There are only two factories in the village, and now the dividends will be cut in half, which is uncomfortable to think about.

After listening to a few gossips, Qiaoelya finally squeezed Xiao Jinyou out of the crowd.

Xiao Jinyou saw villagers who were cursing along the way, and everyone was very angry that the factory closed down.

He was worried about the impact on Miss Qiao.

"Aren't you worried?"

Qiaoelya shrugged: "What are you worried about? I can't get the money."

"The dividends are money given to the villagers. My registered permanent residence is not here, and I have nothing to do with it. I don't give any dividends to daughters who marry out." Her mother didn't even have one after she got married, let alone her.

Xiao Jinyou was thoughtful: "I thought everyone living in the village could share it."

Qiaoelya complained mercilessly: "Then you are too young."

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

----------

Qiaoelya heard Xixisuo's voice in her sleep, and she opened her eyes depressedly.

Xiao Jinyou is getting dressed, and it is the last link to tie the belt.

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

Xiao Jinyou turned around and was taken aback.

"Miss Qiao, are you awake? Am I making too much noise?"

Qiaoelya nodded lazily: "A little bit, I thought the room was full of rats."

Xiao Jinyou felt sorry: "Next time, I will move more lightly."

She said it's okay: "I can't stay in bed all the time, you get up so early every day?"

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

Xiao Jinyou was shy: "I want someone to hang the clock in the study."

Okay, so I was in a hurry to show off.

Giorya rolled over wrapped in a quilt. "I'll sleep for another hour and get up at eight o'clock."

She opened her eyes again, the sky was bright.

Georgia called the maid to come in and help her dress and comb her hair.

Yun Chang's cheeks were flushed: "My lord ordered the kitchen to keep breakfast simple and avoid waste this morning, and the affairs of the house should be arranged by the girl."

In her heart, Miss Qiao must be a firm princess who is so valued by the prince.

Qiaoelya was shocked: "What? Let me arrange the affairs of the house?! I don't want it!"

Yun Shang was puzzled: "Why did the girl resist the housekeeper?" Isn't this a good thing?
Qiaoelya: "Your palace is so big, there must be a lot of messy things. I still have my own business to be busy. I will follow the arrangement of the palace before."

Yun Chang couldn't figure it out.

The housekeeper means that the management rights of the entire family are handed over to Ms. Qiao, which means that the prince recognizes her identity, and Ms. Qiao can walk sideways in the mansion.

But Miss Qiao didn't want to.

She wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Bing Xin.

After finishing combing her hair, Joela ran to the bedroom and took out the mirror from the suitcase.

The full-length mirror was too big to carry, so Qiaoelya bought a vanity mirror.

Sure enough, she looked beautiful in the mirror.

Qiaoelya was overjoyed: "You guys are really good at combing your hair."

She took some glass balls out of the box.

"Take it, and reward your gadgets."

She specially chose a pure color glass ball for Bing Xin, which looked more luxurious than other colors.

"This one is the reward from last time. I will ask you for help next time, so don't refuse."

Even Bing Xin, who had a stable temperament, wiped her hands on her clothes excitedly before solemnly accepting the orb bestowed by Miss Qiao.

Yun Chang thanked her several times excitedly.

"Okay, you two don't get excited. If you like it, continue to behave well. You can sell or deal with what I reward you, but I remind you, it's best to sell a few while the price is still high, and give yourself Save some money for your own house."

Miss Qiao thought about them so much, and the hearts of the two maids felt warm.They were specially trained when they were in the tooth shop. They were trained as maidservants, so they knew that not all masters were as kind and generous as Miss Qiao.

They are lowly maidservants, not the master's domestic servants.Their contract of prostitution is in the hands of the master, whoever beats or kills them is left to the master.

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

When they were first bought back, they were worried in their hearts, for fear that they would be sold if they were not well served.Whether it is being sold to the lame and blind as a wife, or being sold to a place of impurity, it is the most terrible ending.

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

If there is no choice, which innocent girl is willing to be someone else's concubine?
Bing Xin has ambitions in her eyes, her ambition is to become the celebrity in front of the master, to become the trustworthy servant girl of the master.In the future, if the master and the prince achieve positive results, there will be more servant girls, and I will be the big servant girl next to the master.

Her ambitions never included male status.Both she and Yunshang were sold by their relatives for money. Having experienced being abandoned by others, they understand that it is better to rely on others than themselves.Israel treats people and will one day be rejected, it is better to become the most favored maid, with dignity and status.

A first-class maid from a rich family can be regarded as a lady from a small family outside, not to mention that her vision, knowledge and emotional intelligence far exceed that of ordinary girls.

As long as you follow the right master, so what if you are a slave?
Giorya didn't know that she had completely subdued the loyalty of the two maidservants just because of the reward she gave casually.

After breakfast, Qiaoerya went to the study to look for Xiao Jinyou, only to find out that he had gone out after installing the wall clock, so she took the two maidservants to see the shop.

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

Capitals resemble modern provincial capitals.Even the people in the villages around the capital live in poverty, not to mention the rest of Qiongzhou.

He knew early on that Qiongzhou was difficult, but he did not expect the local people to live in such poverty.

This time he brought a few packs of improved grain seeds, which were highly recommended by the owner of the seed shop.

He picked some of each, and Ms. Qiao helped him think of an excuse that he wanted to open a farm and wanted to see which kind of millet would taste better.

So the owner of the seed shop picked several different kinds of seeds for him, all of which are the most popular rice varieties with high yield per mu.

In order to prevent being deceived, Ms. Qiao helped him check that the yield of these seeds is 900 kg per mu, and even the lowest yield of ratooned rice can reach [-] catties per mu.

Considering the shortage of grain in Qiongzhou, he selected several rice varieties with higher yield per mu.Let the common people eat and drink enough before considering planting ratooned rice.

He took people around for a walk, and finally saw the fields of three families.

These three paddy fields have been plowed, but have not yet started sowing.

Xiao Jinyou sent his subordinates to invite out the people in charge of the three households.

Two old men and a middle-aged woman came to him awkwardly.

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

Xiao Jinyou said with a cold face, "Why haven't your three families started spring planting yet?"

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. She felt uneasy on the way here, worried about what happened to the man who went fishing at home.

"The seeds in our house have been damp, so let us mix some when the seedlings come out in the village."

A few days ago, the sky was short-sighted, and it rained heavily for several days and nights, and all the grain seeds in the house were soaked in water.Although the grain seeds need to be soaked to germinate, but when she found out, the grain seeds were all soaked.

The situation of the other two is similar, they are all waiting to distribute some extra seedlings from the village.

The three of them knew in their hearts that life might be difficult this year.

The woman's family is fine, a family of three. The man is worried that he won't have food for the next six months, so he goes to the sea to catch some seafood and dry them while the wind and waves are calm.

The two old men have a large family. They not only have sons but also grandsons. They have seven or eight mouths waiting to eat, and the rice seedlings they are given can fill four mouths, so thank God.

Xiao Jinyou signaled his subordinates to take out the seeds.

"I have seeds here, let's see if you are willing to plant them?"

The woman quickly said: "I am willing! My paddy fields are ready-made!"

The two old men thought more about it.

The thin old man was trembling: "Dare to ask why the nobleman asked us to plant this seed?"

Xiao Jinyou told the truth: "My seed is different from other grains. It needs someone to help plant it and take good care of it. If it is planted, you will share half of the grain."

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

The woman expressed doubts: "I'm afraid it's half a percent." She wanted to refuse directly, but she was afraid of offending this nobleman.

Xiao Jinyou smiled: "If you don't try, how will you know how much you can harvest per mu of land? 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?"

Indeed it is.

Anyway, what is planted is not planted.Everyone said that they would share the rice seedlings for them, and if someone's rice seedlings were not enough, they would give them away, and they might blame them in their hearts.

Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself, maybe the production capacity will be more if you take good care of the mu.

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

Others can wake up from their dreams with 400 catties of rice per mu, but they can produce 1500 catties of rice per mu, which is more than three times that of others!

Although it is not recycled rice, the whole 1000 catties of grain is enough to feed the whole family for two years.

Xiao Jinyou blew himself up before leaving.

"I'm King An, and I live in Qiongzhou now. If you encounter problems with planting, you can come to King An's Mansion, the capital of Qiongzhou, to talk to someone."

He revealed his identity at this time, just to let these people plant the seeds he gave honestly, and don't think about riding a donkey to find a horse.

Sure enough, the three farmers who heard his identity quickly knelt down and saluted.

Xiao Jinyou asked them 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 will compete in a friendly way. If you deliberately frame others for the sake of performance, think about your relatives. This king has the right to implicate the nine clans."

The three farmers trembled when they heard it, and they didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.What they are holding in their hands is no longer sweet pastry, but a severed head!

After Xiao Jinyou finished dealing with the rice, he was busy planning road construction.Manpower is a problem, and he doesn't have many available manpower. He hopes that his little uncle will move to the island as soon as possible to relieve his worries.

He still has many plans, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.It is really frustrating to have a plan without manpower.

----------

Jorya couldn't count the number of times she had collapsed.

Before going out, the streets on both sides of Mingming Street were very tidy.

Now she understands that only the main road is 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 tidy as in costume dramas, and even because of the use of ox carts, horse carts and mule carts, feces were everywhere.

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

To match the period outfit, she wears soft-soled embroidered shoes.

The more Qiaoelya thinks about it, the more uncomfortable she becomes. Can Xiao Jinyou improve the sanitation of the urban environment first?
In the past, she only read about the dirty and messy streets in ancient times on forums, and she took it for fun. Who would have thought that one day she would become a fun person?
The main road has been cleaned up very clean, and the shops there are almost all local aborigines. They want to open their doors for business, and it is for the sake of Fucheng's face.

Don't think that there are no wealthy businessmen and rich people in such a poor place. Those officials who were dispatched to Qiongzhou as officials can only stay here, and the accumulation of generations can be regarded as a small family.

What's more, the mountains are 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 indigenous people.

Back to the topic.

Qiaoerya couldn't find a suitable shop, so she thought about trying other places. Who knew that she would feel nauseated after walking less than 200 meters.

Bing Xin and Yun Shang were very worried, for fear that Ms. Qiao would not be able to eat at noon.

Joelya said that it is indeed possible to skip a meal at noon. Is there any appetite for this?

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

Giorya endured a pile of cow dung at the door, and stepped forward to talk to someone.

"Is your store going to be closed for renovation?"

The middle-aged man in a gray bunt sneered: "The little girl is not from the island, is she? There is no business in this street, and the decoration is just to pay for it."

Qiaoelya thought just right: "Is this store yours or did you rent it?"

"I bought it when I was young and frivolous, and I was going to sell it and go home to farm. I thought that there were few shops in Qiongzhou, and no matter how I opened a shop, I could get back my money. Who would have thought of making money in Qiongzhou? Qiongzhou flowers did not earn a penny back, and even posted hundreds of pennies." .If I don’t sell the store again, I’m afraid the whole family will drink northwest wind.”

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

Unless something is particularly novel, or the food tastes particularly good, it can develop.

The reason Qiaoelya fell in love with this store was because it was close to the harbor, and the store was located at the end of the whole street.Moreover, the entrance of the store is a small square, there are no shops on the opposite side, and there is a stone staircase leading to the port further ahead.

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

Giorya felt very satisfied.

She smiled and said, "Since you want to sell it, how about selling it to me?"

 The website where the heroine posted the video was similar to Mouyin, and once the video became popular, the number of fans would increase very quickly.

  The hostess drew cakes for the maidservant, and fed the cakes to her mouth in time. The cakes were fragrant and round.I believe everyone likes this kind of person/boss who walks the talk.

  In the past, someone always drew cakes for me, but I haven't eaten cakes until now.
