After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

After the meal, the two families sat around under the eaves, enjoying the cool air and talking about this year's harvest.

Qin Yao's family's yield of 320 kilograms per mu is indeed a miracle, because the yield of the best dozens of acres of land in Old Han Liu's family is only [-] kilograms per mu.

The rest are around 280 catties.The furthest away, the most barren acres, only yield 160 kilograms per acre.

There is no way, there is really no way to control so many fields.

When Liu Ji heard this, he suddenly became a little proud, "My lady, the output of the two mu of wheat field harvested by our family in February is not bad. I didn't care about it at all, and I got [-] catties per mu."

Qin Yao was speechless and didn't want to pay attention to him. She looked at Old Man Liu and mentioned the rice transplanting method again, recommending that they try it next year.

Old man Liu had this intention. No, it should be said that the entire Liu family village wanted to follow Qin Yao in using this rice transplanting method.

It is definitely not possible to use a large area, but you can reserve the best land in your home, even if you can only increase the yield by ten catties per mu, the total of tens of mu will add up to several hundred catties.

What's more, judging from the Qin Yao family's harvest this year, it's more than this!
If the weather goes well in the coming year, it will no longer be a fantasy for every household to have enough to eat.

Thinking of this, Old Man Liu and Brother Liu Bai couldn't help but be excited.

As night falls, everyone is tired after working for so long and goes to their respective homes.

Liu Ji boiled several large pots of water, washed the whole family from head to toe, and slept comfortably.

Liu Ji was the last to wash, and washed extremely slowly.

Before dawn tomorrow, he will get up and rush to the county town to go back to the academy to study. The academy dormitory does not have a shower room for him to take a bath. Naturally, he has to wash thoroughly at once to survive the remaining half month.

Qin Yao happened to be going to the town to buy some meat, so she gave Liu Ji a ride, dropped him off on the official road outside the town, and walked for another hour to reach the county seat.

It's still early, the genius has just dawned, so walk faster and you won't be late.

"When you go home next month, remember to bring back the previous test questions and reference answers that I asked you to copy." Qin Yao asked.

Liu Ji nodded dejectedly, carrying his small bundle and moving forward step by step, so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyelids.

Qin Yao watched him go away until no one could be seen, then rode her horse into the streets of the town and went to the butcher's house to buy meat.

Two kilograms of ribs, two kilograms of pork belly, and a piece of pork liver. Take them home to make soup to nourish her and her four children.

It was Qin Yao's craftsmanship, the pork liver and vegetable soup always tasted weird, she drank half a bowl by herself, then stopped moving, and went to pick up the plate of fried pork to eat.

The pork ribs were packed in a long bamboo tube, and then placed in a bucket filled with cold water in a cool place. It could be kept for another day. Qin Yao planned to use it to stew meat soup tomorrow night.

After breakfast was finished, Qin Yao hurried to Carpenter Liu's house after instructing the four children at home to spread the millet in the yard to dry.

His family also had a lot of land, but also a lot of people. He collected about [-] in five days, giving him a little bit of free time.

As soon as the two of them joined forces, they started recruiting people and had to quickly set up a production workshop.

Not to mention how strong it is, it also needs a thatched house to protect it from wind and rain.

Qin Yao had already thought about what kind of house to build. As soon as the drawings were spread out, Carpenter Liu came forward to take a look. It was a house surrounded on all sides with an open air in the middle.

Set up four rectangular rooms on four sides, with a roof and surrounded by walls, two of which are used for processing wood, one for drying paint, and one for stone grinding.

There is a large open space in the middle that can be used to pile stones. You can also build an extra shed and build a stove to serve as a staff canteen.

This is not the end, each house has several subdivided areas, which are specially designed for planing wood, sawing boards, assembling, painting, and inspecting.

Each place has a sign with a certain workshop written on it, and the area is clearly defined.

The process on the stone side is much simpler. There are only two, one for grinding and one for engraving, so one room is enough.

Carpenter Liu took the drawing and looked at it again and again, exclaiming that it was exquisite.

However, he was puzzled. He pointed to the small signs of such-and-such workshops in the picture and asked, "Why are they called workshops?"

Qin Yao was startled, "Ah, what do you think it should be called? A branch?" She just copied the modern production line and forgot to adapt to local conditions. The word workshop was really inappropriate in ancient times.

Carpenter Liu was also stunned, "A certain branch doesn't sound good, so let's call it a workshop."

"By the way, you talked about making an assembly line or something before, but now this is the one in the picture, right? There are dedicated people for specific tasks, and they can get started quickly. You only need to learn one of them."

Qin Yao nodded, "That's what I mean."

Carpenter Liu repeated the word "assembly line" several times in his mouth. The more he read it, the more he felt that this wording was very accurate.

With the map in hand, Carpenter Liu knew what materials to prepare. He led the two day laborers to move the wood collected in the yard to the new factory site.

As soon as the two tripods were placed, the long logs were placed on the shelf, and the tools were picked up to start processing the wood in preparation for the subsequent construction of the factory building.

Qin Yao took the fresh recruitment sign and came to the village well, picked a big stone and stood on it.

Put the sign in front of you and shout: "The water mill is hiring!"

Suddenly, the villagers who were drying millet in the open ground all looked up.

Regarding this matter, the villagers had already begun to look forward to it when Qin Yao's family rented the grassland.

So, just as Qin Yao finished talking about the number of workers and the conditions for recruiting, the number of people in the open space decreased by more than half—they all hurried home or ran to the field to inform the young and old at home.

When it comes to heavy physical work, Qin Yao plans to recruit eight male workers in the stone grinding department.

Four are responsible for quarrying and transporting stone, and four are responsible for polishing and chiseling.

A quarry worker's salary is twelve cents a day, including breakfast and lunch.

A polisher and chisel grinder pays ten cents a day, including breakfast and lunch.

The waterwheel department requires ten skilled craftsmen, regardless of gender, and the labor costs are twelve cents a day, including breakfast and lunch.

Another chef is recruited, who is in charge of two meals for breakfast and lunch, male or female, three hundred cash per month.

The number of workers will be increased or decreased in the future depending on the situation, and the tentative number is 18.

Everyone only cares about the monthly salary and selectively ignores the fact that there are no restrictions on men and women.

Therefore, among the people who came to answer the call, there were only two women.

One is the He family, and the other is Yun Niang from Liu Guolang's family.

When Mrs. He saw Yun Niang, she felt that she must be here for the position of chef.

The firepower was aimed at her in an instant, "You don't need to look at that small shop in your house? How about cooking for others when you have this spare time? With your small body, you probably can't even lift the big iron pot, right?"

Yun Niang said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I don't want to compete with you to be a cook. I'm here to apply for a job as a carpenter."

He was shocked, "You can also do carpentry?"

Yun Niang nodded and said confidently: "My father is a carpenter. I have seen him grow up since I was a child. When I was at my parents' home, I helped my father make tables, chairs and benches for people every day."

But even though she looked confident on the surface, when the men who were also recruiting carpenters looked over, she was still so nervous that she clutched her sleeves, breathing rapidly, and feeling a little regretful in her heart.

She just heard that the salary was twelve cents a day, and two meals were included, and it was not limited to men and women. She thought that she had learned something from her father, and something unexpected happened.

In the past, there were no opportunities for women to work. Even if there were, they would be in far-flung places in the county, and they would still be used as maids or wet nurses. Not to mention that her husband's family would not allow it, and she herself would not dare to do so.

But this time I was doing work at home, and I was still a serious carpenter. I was so excited that I wanted to give it a try!
As for why she dared to get hotheaded, it was only because the recruiter was Qin Yao.

With her here, I'm not afraid for some reason.
