Cao Cuimei also smiled and said: "I will take the girl's mother's surname, and from now on I will be the girl's natal family. Don't be afraid, girl, we will definitely earn a generous dowry for you!"

She thought of her last name and suddenly had this idea.

She lost her innocence, but her boss did. With this head start, she felt like the blood in her body was boiling.

Others also thought this proposal was a good one, and Chunni immediately said loudly: "Me too, even if the girl gets married in the future, I will run the shop for her and guard the property for you, so that you can hold your head high in your husband's house. , will never be looked down upon!"

"Me too!"

"The slave also has to earn a dowry for the girl!"

"Girl, I am good at weaving. I can teach the women in the village to weave. How about we start a weaving layout?"

"I, I can dye cloth..."

"Girl, I, I know how to cook, how about we open a restaurant..."

"I can raise silkworms..."

Shen Qing covered her face, who did she recruit? Why was it related to her dowry again? She had a feeling that she might never be able to get rid of these aunts in her life.

It took two days to re-pave the road in Zhuangzi. According to Zhong Ling's plan, the road also needed to be widened. Fortunately, some tenants were recruited in Zhuangzi. Wang Wu also brought his younger brother and the young people in Zhuangzi to support him.

After he arrived, he was shocked when he heard what Maodou and the others said about what happened in Zhuangzi.

I originally thought that what happened in their village was shocking enough, but unexpectedly, these two villages were actually occupied by water bandits, and they used this place as a den. It's not too outrageous.

Shen Qing asked about the situation in Wangjiazhuang, and Wang Wu answered honestly.

In fact, it is not difficult to manage Zhuangzi. As long as everything is on the right track, you only need to assign the work to the most suitable person and he will supervise it. There will be no big problem. Their rapeseed has been planted, as well as wheat. There are more rapes, because wheat only requires sowing seeds, unlike rapeseed, which is more troublesome.

Shen Qing asked him to stay and instruct the people in Yangzhuang to rush for seeds. She didn't want to open the skylight.

A total of thirty tenants were recruited from outside, and they all took care of their families. The arrangements for accommodation were left to Chun Ni and another girl. Leave things behind.

Yangzhuang is a vibrant scene.

The money was spent too quickly, and now she basically invested it, so she soon ran out of money. She had no choice but to ask Luo Qin to take the token, go to the bank again, and pay out another 1000 taels.

During this period, Chai Liang came specifically to inform her about the bandits and the reward for her.

This was a reward of 500 taels of silver from the imperial court's Jingyang Village, but only 300 taels were presented to her. People who understand Xiao Jiujiu will understand.

Although Shen Qing was short of money, she would not take it all. Before leaving, she secretly gave Chai Liang 100 taels and explained that she would use the remaining money to appease the dead in the village and the defiled girls.

When Chai Liang knew that she was going to take in these girls, his jaw dropped.

He murmured: "You really have money to spend."

After hearing his comments, Shen Qing was just silly and happy. She had done everything and had no regrets. She could only move forward with her eyes closed. Even if it was to accommodate these girls, she had to expand her career territory as soon as possible.Yangzhuang was renovating the road. Zhong Ling also proposed to widen the road to facilitate horse-drawn carriages in the future, and to plant trees on both sides of the road. Poplar trees were planted. They have a high survival rate and grow quickly. They will grow into timber in a few years. If there are not enough roads by then, It can be used to cut down trees and rebuild them again.

Regarding her proposal, Shen Qing wondered if she was also wearing it, because the idea was too avant-garde.

Of course she can do this. She knows very well that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

So, the people in Yangzhuang were divided into two groups. One group plowed the land collectively for autumn planting, and the other group went to build roads.

Those who rush to plant seeds are okay and think it is a serious matter, but road construction... Those experienced old people do not understand.

"What do you think this is? What's the point of building a road? Isn't this road passable?"

"I see that my boss doesn't want us to be idle and is looking for work for us!"

"What I'm saying is that we are here to farm the land, not to build roads. I heard the notice before said that the land will be divided and farmed by the tenants when we come here. But now we have changed our minds and said that we will wait until the first day of next year. When the grain comes out during the season, the grain is divided among each family, and then the land is divided, and I don’t know whether it is true or false.”

"Who knows! My boss is still a little girl, don't play with us."

"I think, isn't road construction a matter for the government? Besides, even if the government builds roads, they don't use stone rollers to pave the way."

It turned out that Shen Qing ordered people to drag all the stone rollers from Zhuangzi, and the repaired roads had to be rolled over several times until they were compacted.

In fact, she would rather build a cement road or a gravel road. Obviously this wish cannot be realized, so she can only use stone rollers.

Also, this area is a hilly terrain with varying heights and lows, making it inconvenient to walk by horse-drawn carriage. Therefore, these road builders have to level the road as much as possible. This is what Zhong Ling said, but she has no prestige, and neither do the tenants. She will listen to her, so Shen Qing has to say this.

There are many people, so walking on this road doesn't seem so spooky.

It is conceivable that as soon as this idea was expressed, many people questioned it.

Many people immediately put down their shovels and refused to work.

These people were, of course, tenants called in from outside.

A few young people jumped out and said loudly: "I don't understand what the boss said. Are we here to farm or to build roads? Don't think you are dissatisfied with us eating for free and want to torment us and make us work for nothing. Use your strength!"

Someone started, and others followed.

Luo Qin sat on a tree branch not far away, closing his eyes and falling asleep, turning a deaf ear to such trivial matters.

As long as it doesn't endanger Shen Qing's life, it's all trivial in her eyes. Besides, she has so many subordinates, shouldn't they be put to use?

Those who followed to build the road, in addition to the few brothers Niu Bao brought, were also the group of young girls. There were about five or six people. When they heard someone questioning their master, they immediately held the shovel, raised their eyebrows coldly, and said in a crackling voice. opened.

"What did our girl say wrong? Why isn't road construction a serious matter? Once the roads are built, it will be more convenient to enter and exit the village in the future. As long as there are cars, no matter whether they are donkey carts or ox carts, they can transport grain, mountain goods, and even fish. Isn’t it more efficient? Even fruits and vegetables can be transported to the town and sold, and the money can be used to add a few small items to the home and buy a few snacks for the children, isn’t it?”

"That is, don't be so short-sighted. Although you are not paid, you still have three meals a day. In the morning, there are steamed buns and pickles, and at noon, there are enough mixed noodles and pancakes. There are also meat dishes. In the evening, you can also have a bowl of boiled glutinous rice. Glutinous porridge, ask yourself, do you get such good treatment at home?" (End of Chapter)
