Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 149 Worry

   Zhao Ju stared at the people and moved the grain bags into the warehouse. After checking the number with the person guarding the warehouse, he signed and signed and locked the warehouse.

   Seeing the food in the warehouse, not only the people outside, but also the spirits of the trilogy are different, "The building master, the girl is really amazing, you can get so much food in just a few words."

   Zhao Ju: "It's all bought with real money, do you think it's something you get for nothing?"

   "But the money is also from the masters. Isn't that almost as white as white?" The part was overjoyed, "Don't panic when there is food in the warehouse, building master, our barracks will be built in two days, right?"

   Zhao Ju asked, "Are those prisoners still obedient?"

"It's okay, I ran a few times at first, and they were caught and killed before they ran far. Later, when they saw that we gave them food and didn't abuse them, they just stayed and didn't run. The military camp was built. It's going too fast."

   Zhao Ju nodded and said, "Let them speed up and go to the fields to harvest the autumn when the barracks are built."

  Many people died in Xiping County, and although some crops were damaged, there were still many.

  The manpower was insufficient. It was not enough to recruit workers with food. They decided to use prisoners.

   It's just that the fields are mostly outside the city, and more than 300 prisoners are pulled outside, and they are likely to run away. Zhao Ju doesn't want to waste a lot of manpower on supervision.

   So you have to tame people in the city before pulling them out.

   Sure enough, when the barracks in the city were built, the prisoners were almost trained.

Zhao Ju divided the captives into three teams, one team repaired damaged houses and streets in the city; one team was sent to Zhaoshiwubao to help the people of Wubao for the autumn harvest; the other team was to harvest those who had become Crops on unclaimed fields.

   Zhao Hanzhang has already arranged the work of the captives for the next six months. When the autumn harvest is over, they will send them to the horse farm. Oh, no, it is the pastures that are reclaiming wasteland, and the fields of the government offices will also be prepared for winter wheat cultivation.

As for the   300 people, there is still a lot of land that can be cultivated every day.

   Zhao Hanzhang also knew that the most important thing at the moment was the autumn harvest, so he also went down to the ground with a sickle to experience life, um, by the way, to pull the goodwill of the people in the city.

Fu Tinghan stood in the field with a bamboo hat and looked at her. Seeing that she carefully cut a sickle, she slowly became proficient, and she cut it forward. Although the speed was not as fast as the person next to him, it was much faster than him. .

   Fu Tinghan looked down at the sickle in his hand.

   Zhao Hanzhang straightened up and saw it, and quickly asked: "Is it the rice leaf cutting hand? Or you can wait for me on the ridge, and come back when I cut it to the other side."

  Fu Tinghan shook his head, "I was just thinking, how much is the yield per mu of rice if one ear is so small?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "That will only be known after drying."

   She also looked up at the yellow rice, "It looks pretty good, it should be five or six hundred pounds, right?"

  It turns out that the data estimated by farmers is not very reliable. After threshing and drying this mu of land, it is only 223 jins.

   Zhao Hanzhang looked incredulous and asked Geng Rong, who came to report the number, "Did you weigh in wrong? How could there be so few?"

   Geng Rong: "...Girl, this output is already quite good."

   Zhao Hanzhang scratched his head and looked at Fu Tinghan, "Do you still remember what the yield per mu is?"

   Geng Rong also looked at Fu Tinghan.

   Fu Tinghan glanced at him, took Zhao Hanzhang's hand and wrote a rough number on her palm.

   Zhao Hanzhang clicked his tongue twice, "This gap is too big."

   She pondered for a moment and said, "In addition to seeds, it should be possible to improve yields by improving farming methods, right?"

  Fu Tinghan nodded, "There is also wheat. The Central Plains and the North are still dominated by pasta."

   Geng Rong couldn't help but interject, "Girl, ordinary people mainly rely on bean rice."

   Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan looked at each other, "Doufan?"

Sure enough, it was an aristocratic family, and he didn’t even know about Doufan. As Geng Rong was thinking of explaining it in detail, Zhao Hanzhang had already touched his stomach and said, “How can I experience it myself? Just in time, it’s time for dinner, let’s go, let’s go. Go out for dinner."

   Geng Rong was silent.

   Zhao Hanzhang took Fu Tinghan out to find dinner.

   She pulled him directly to the two alleys on the side of the city gate.

Most of the people in the slum were relocated here after being moved out. Most of the houses here are empty. Zhao Hanzhang recycles and distributes the empty houses. There are only orphans left, so she temporarily registers and plans to wait. In the future, the business will be rented out, and the income can also offset the cost of raising a child.

   The county government has to raise so many orphaned children every day, and the expenses are still quite large. Geng Rong knows that many people in the city are watching, waiting to see when Zhao Hanzhang can't make ends meet.

Even Geng Rong felt that Zhao Hanzhang would not be able to support him for a long time. Up to now, the relief for work in the city has not stopped. Listening to Fu Dalangjun's intention, they will dig a canal in the future. Instead of issuing a military order, they still use relief for work. .

   This was beyond Geng Rong's expectations, and made Geng Rong even more worried. He felt that if this continued, Zhao Hanzhang might not be able to survive the winter.

   Originally, whoever is the master of Xiping County is similar to him. After all, Zhao Hanzhang is a woman and may not last long. It is not bad to change someone.

But thinking of the people he sees every day, and the job he is currently doing, it is undeniable that Geng Rong feels that the current Xiping County is full of vitality. even better.

So he hesitated for a while and said: "Girl, blindly kindness may not be a good thing, the county government's income is limited, and the work-for-relief can only be temporary, if it is too loose, I'm afraid it won't last long. Lots of dissatisfaction."

Zhao Hanzhang has tried his best to reduce the expenditure of cash-for-work. It can be said that the income of one full day of labor is enough to support two people. In her opinion, such wages are extremely cheap. I can't get past that barrier in my heart.

   Moreover, these public facilities will generate income in the future, not to mention the construction of water conservancy projects, the official fields under the county government will benefit a lot.

  It’s a pity, when the winter is over, everyone has to work on their own fields. Zhao Hanzhang will give them a certain amount of land. At that time, it will be difficult for Guantian to use work-for-relief or recruit workers, and there will still be a shortage of people.

   Zhao Hanzhang reassured Geng Rong, "I know what I know, don't worry, I won't be short of money and food."

   The loot has not been spent yet. After spending the trophy, she still has money in her hand. The initial investment is huge, and she is mentally prepared.

   The investment is huge, and the benefits are even greater. The top priority is to win the hearts of the people. If you can win the hearts of the people in Xiping County, this area will be her backing in the future.
