Chapter 112
It seems that the actions of the Minister of War were ordered by the emperor himself, but the dignitaries in Kyoto couldn't understand why the stone that no one wanted in Jinjia Village had now become a hot commodity and attracted the emperor's attention. .No matter how much they thought about it, they would never think about weapons, and they wondered why this matter was handed over to the Minister of the Ministry of War. Shouldn't this matter be under the control of the Ministry of Industry?
There are more than 1000 acres of fields in Sujia Village. There are not many stones in the fields, only two meters above. If you dig down, it will be soil. Those who did not see a stone gave up.However, there are many rocks in the mountains behind Jinjia Village, almost the entire mountain. This made the Minister of the Ministry of War very happy, and sent two additional battalions of troops. The four battalions took turns digging by hand. After five days, the back mountain of Jinjia Village was completely wiped out, and the guarding officers and soldiers withdrew until they could no longer find a single stone.

After all the officers and soldiers had withdrawn, the villagers in the village dared to go out of their homes. Seeing that their fields were dug into big holes, they all wanted to cry without tears.The one who sold all the fields to Su Yu was immediately overjoyed. The things at home had already been packed in the past few days. Can't leave.

When Su Yu heard that the officers and soldiers had left, he took Bai Mo and Er Hu to Jinjia Village. When they arrived at the village, Er Hu ran directly into the woods and disappeared. This guy was really depressed after holding it in for several days in the city.

As for my elder brother who had gone to study at the Imperial College yesterday, but because the bookboy he bought for him was still unable to get out of Jinjia Village, Su Sheng went to the Imperial College by himself these two days.

Su Yu looked at his elder brother's face when he came back, and felt relieved that he didn't find anything wrong.

In the small courtyard, the four newly bought servants stood uneasy when they saw that Su Yu had finally arrived.They all came from the Shi Lang's mansion, so they naturally have sharp eyesight. Su Yu's master and servant are dressed as if they came from other places. They may have some money, but they definitely won't be too much.After they came to Sujia Village and inquired about it, they found out that the brothers and sisters of the Su family bought hundreds of acres of land here. Come to the door.

Looking at the messy fields that were dug up, and the land that was completely dug up, everyone felt very uneasy.

"girl."

Su Yu raised his hand to stop the middle-aged man who was about to speak.

"What's your name?"

Wang Kuan immediately knelt down.

"Also ask the girl to give her a name."

"I'm not going to do that. Whatever your names were before, you should call them whatever you are now."

How many people are not happy that they can be called by their previous names.

"Girl, the younger one's name is Wang Kuan."

"You take 20 taels of silver and go, go to the city to find some strong laborers, the better. After the people come, you can directly lead them to work and fill in the fields I bought."

"Don't worry, girl, the slave will go right away."

Su Yu was quite satisfied with Wang Kuan and did not ask her where the farmland was or how many acres it had in total. Apparently she had already inquired about it in the past few days and she was a practical person.

After Wang Kuan took the money and left, Su Yu looked at the three people standing in the yard.

"Tell me your names."

"Yes, girl, the slave's name is Cao Zhi, and this is the slave's wife, Mrs. Wu."

The husband and wife quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yu.

The two of them belonged to the kind of honest people at first sight, and Su Yu didn't make things difficult for them.

"Cao Zhi, you will be responsible for driving the carriages from now on. I remember you said that you used to be the only ones driving the carriages."

"Yes, the servant used to manage the carriage in the Minister's Mansion."

"Well, Mrs. Wu will be responsible for three meals a day at home from now on."

"Yes, girl."

Su Yu looked at Li Mu.

"Back to the girl, the younger one is called Li Mu."

"You will go back with us later, and tomorrow you will follow my elder brother to serve in the Imperial College."

"Yes, girl."

After giving the order, Su Yu looked at the small courtyard in front of the circle.

"Girl, the servants in the courtyard have been cleaned up in the past few days. The Jin family left this morning, and the servants in the two rooms in the main house have also been cleaned up."

Su Yu thought to himself, slaves who have worked in wealthy families are different. You think of them without giving orders.

"You have done a good job. I bought some rice, flour, grain and oil in the carriage, and you move to the kitchen."

After hearing this, several people rushed to move things to the kitchen. Seeing that it was already noon, Mrs. Wu hurried to cook. She didn't know what the girl liked, so she could only cook the dishes that she was good at, and tried her best to leave the girl with some food. Next good impression.

After giving orders to a few servants, Su Yu ignored it and took Bai Mo to the back mountain.

Houshan can no longer be called a mountain now, the whole mountain is gone.Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect the government's work efficiency to be so high. It took only five days to level a mountain. Now it can also be used as a farm here, but how to allocate it is a bit difficult. Su Yu After thinking about it, I went directly to the village chief's house.

Village Chief Jin has been so worried these days that half of his hair has turned gray, but there is nothing he can do about it anymore. Now it is better. More than 20 people have moved out of the village at once, and there are not even [-] families left. Jinjia Village Can we still call it a village in the future?
At this moment, the little grandson of Village Chief Jin saw Su Yu.

"Grandpa, Miss Su is here."

When Village Chief Jin saw Su Yu's evasive eyes, he felt a little sorry for this girl. It had only been two days since he bought the land in their village, and now this happened again.

"Village Chief, I have something to discuss with you."

"Miss Su, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The piece of land I bought in the back mountain has been dug up by the government. Naturally, that piece of land will be turned into fields in the future. How to calculate my more than 700 acres of land? I have to ask the village chief for this. help."

Village Chief Jin didn't know what Su Yu was thinking. Is this the time to care about the ground?

"Girl, now that the fields have become like that, you are not worried at all?"

Su Yu looked at Village Chief Jin.

"It's not a good thing that the government helped us clean up all the stones. Now all that's left is backfilling. What's so difficult about it? I just asked my servants to go to Kyoto to recruit people, and it took two days to fill it all up. "

When the village chief heard it, it was really as Su Yu said. The government helped to clean up all those annoying stones, so the only thing left was to fill the fields and level them up. Why is he so stupid? The little girl in front of me is smart.

"Village Chief, what are you going to do with the back mountain?"

Speaking of the village head having a headache again, what can he do.

"How about this? I'll ask someone to fill in the back hill, and then measure how many acres of land there are in total. You can count how many acres of land each family has. Then, according to the number of acres of land, Let’s allocate it. If it’s not enough, let’s talk about it later. Do you think this is okay?”
