The rebirth of God's boss

Chapter 19 The Boss Guo of Baicao Pavilion

"There are three villages near Xiaohe Village, our Laochu Village, the Tuliang Village next door, and the Daliushu Village near Guandao. Our village is divided into about [-] households, with a population of one or two hundred.

Those of you who have been called by me are all people who need a lot of short-term labor in recent years.

The new clansmen are here, and they can't survive on their own. What I mean is that after the spring of next year, you can hire them as long-term and short-term workers for a few years, so that they can earn some income first, so that the whole family will not starve to death. "

"Where do they live?" Chu Dashan asked.

"The flat land right behind your house. There are many stones in the ground, which is not suitable for farming. It is more suitable for building a house."

Chu Dashan thought to himself that I guess it is also there, that is, the place is not too big or small enough to be used by people, and it is suitable for building houses.

Farmers' yards in Laochuzhuang are built around Bibo Lake.It is an irregular long strip with a mountain at one end and a lake at the other.Their village sits on a small, narrow plain sandwiched between mountains and lakes.

It is said that the ancestors of the Chu family who chose to build the village here, said that they had specially asked someone to see the feng shui here, saying that the landscape here has the tendency of giant pythons to swallow the sky, which is second only to the feng shui treasure land of Xifeng Mountain Ancestral Temple.

"That's fine, it just so happens that my family plans to find some long-term workers next year." Chu Dashan expressed his position first.

As soon as he opened his mouth, other people also opened their mouths, saying that they would hire short-term workers, long-term workers and the like after the beginning of the spring.

The old village chief made calculations in secret, and he could almost gather the new young men.That's it.

Chu Dashan was left to the end by the old village chief. "Your family will hire a few more long-term workers next year. The Gourd Valley is not small. Whether it's land reclamation or farming, your family needs a lot of young people."

"Well, I plan to hire ten permanent workers next year."

"Twenty, less wages, just a tael of silver a year for food and lodging."

When Chu Dashan heard it, his mouth widened in surprise, "Is it too little? I heard that the surrounding villages ask long-term workers to give two taels of silver a year. In our village, there are no less than three taels of long-term workers a year."

"Hmph, listen to them making a fool of themselves! The long-term workers in the surrounding villages don't include food and lodging, but only one tael a year. Our village is a special case, and the surrounding villages can't afford it. This long wage.

Besides, the surrounding villages only paid eight or ten coppers a day for day laborers. What is the price of our village, thirty coppers a day, if you don’t give them, you can’t come. "

Chu Dashan was ashamed, he was now paid 35 coppers a day when he was looking for part-time workers.

"If you get two more sets of thick linen clothes, they will fight for half a tael of silver."

Chu Dashan's toothache "Uncle Village Chief, two sets of thick linen are more than half a tael of silver!"

"Are you still missing those dozens of copper coins?" The old village chief squinted and despised him.

Chu Dashan was dumbfounded.

"Okay, let's go, don't stay in the way of me."

Chu Dashan: You were the one who left me before!

Although farming is the key for farmers, the previous fruit wine was too expensive.Chu Dashan felt that he could not give up it, and he had to get more next year.

So he secretly counted with his wife: "The wine is too profitable. Next year, we will do it like this year, and secretly sell it to big caravans from other places."

Chu Qi nodded, this is a good way to make money safely.

"Then if the fruit is not sold next year, let's find someone to brew more fruit wine by ourselves, which will taste better, it is estimated that we can sell more money, and we don't need to spend money to buy wine."

Now the family makes fruit wine by herself, and she is the only one who can make wine. How much fruit wine can be brewed? !Or ask someone to brew it, so the quality is guaranteed in large quantities.

"Yes, about [-] acres of flat land in Gourd Valley can be opened. At that time, [-] acres of purple herbs will be planted in the outer valley to serve as feedstock. The remaining [-] acres will be planted with millet.

When the millet is mature, the high-quality ones are just used to brew high-quality liquor, the middle ones are eaten by our family, and the ones are almost used as concentrated fodder for livestock.

Anyway, I have already agreed with Sixth Uncle's family to go to the valley in the spring to raise livestock for our family.He also needs to raise some of his own.I agreed. "Chu Dashan said.

The year before last year, the family hired a lot of part-time workers, plus a family of eight, almost all of the old grain left over from the previous two years was eaten up.

If you don't grow food this year, what will you eat next year?Just this year, after the spring, I have to go to my uncle to get some rations back!

Fortunately, my uncle grows a lot of food every year.

"No problem, not all of the families who help us raise silkworms have their own silkworms, so when we harvest silk, we can receive more good silk. The same is true for raising livestock. Our family can make all kinds of cured meat on the market.”

After listening to the lady's words, Chu Dashan smiled directly and said, "Cured meat, bacon can be made."

The family is busy with the annual sacrifice, and the big sacrifice is solemn and solemn. The people pray for the protection of their ancestors. In addition to the sacrifices of each village, the village also appoints representatives to go to the ancestral temple in Xifeng Mountain to participate in the sacrifice.

The clansmen who came back from the ancestral temple said that this year they were made difficult by the direct branch, and the trouble was more serious than in previous years.

They all slept in the field outside the ancestral hall this time, and sleeping in the field in the winter, this is simply a boil!
The old village chief's face was also gloomy for several days. He got more news, and Chu Zifei sent him even more shocking news.

The direct branch intends to split all of their branches out.

Once the clan is divided, everyone is no longer a clan.

I don't know what's in the heads of the people of the direct branch?Once the clan is divided, the huge clan will fall apart.Without the most critical population resources of the clan, can those guys in the direct branch still be as powerful as they used to be?

The Chu family, from the direct branch to the branch, has a population of hundreds of thousands of people. If you divide these branches out, what kind of big family is left with the few thousand people from the direct branch? !
Simply stupid!

Spring started not long after the New Year's Eve, and in early February, the Xin people dragged their families and built a shack behind the yard of Chu Dashan's house to live here.Chu Dashan also hurriedly contacted [-] young men, each with two silver a year and a half, including room and board, and two sets of linen.

After the long-term workers went online, he asked Saburo and Shiro to lead them to level the paddy fields and open up new land.On the other hand, he took Dalang to Changyang to find new seeds.

It is still Baicao Pavilion, where the shopkeeper Guo is a fat little fat man.

Baicaoge has more seeds than other stores in Changyang.

"What kind of seeds are you going to buy this time?" Shopkeeper Guo greeted Chu Dashan and his son in his living room with a smile.

"The herbs planted in the paddy fields are rare, and it is best that no one else has seen them."

"There is a herb I just received that fits your requirements. It's called Water Soul Fruit!"
