farming female castellan

Chapter 294

The sales of residential properties were better than Mrs. Feng expected, and more than half of the houses in Xinglong Village and Jinsha Village were sold.Except for a few who pay the full amount, the others are loans.

The Xiangjun Mansion sent a big housewarming gift package to all buyers: a pair of red couplets and a set of tableware.This is the icing on the cake for the rich, and it is really a timely help for the poor.

The next day was Lixia, and the villagers who bought houses happily moved to their new homes.The stove and iron pan are ready-made, and the tableware is delivered. They can cook and eat after cleaning the house.

Zhou Qiang's family bought a large house with side rooms with a loan. When the early rice is harvested this season, they can move to a new house and get a new batch of fields to cultivate.

Father Zhou has been looking at the household registration, looking over and over again.Zhou Qiang joked with a smile: "Father, be careful to see a hole in the household registration."

Father Zhou didn't even look at his son: "This paper is much better than the paper in my hometown. It's okay to pull it twice."

"Oh, you can't really tear it, no matter how tight the paper is, it's still paper, so don't tear it." Zhou Qiang was a little anxious.

Father Zhou was finally willing to put the paper into the box, and said to his son-in-law Fei Chengye: "Your household registration has not yet been done. When you have more money, you can also buy a house and register a household. It will be convenient for your children to study in the future."

Fei Chengye said with a smile, "We want to do more work for Dad."

Father Zhou shook his head: "You keep the money you earn from working. We used to have no fixed place to live, but it's different now. Children will need household registration to go to school in the future."

"The baby is still young." Fei Chengye was still grinning, "Besides, you and the Xiangjun have friendship, so you can contact the Xiangjun if you need anything."

Father Zhou glanced at him: "This is wrong. It is the Lord Xiang who has helped us. How can we dare to make friends with the Lord? It is because the Lord Xiang is kind to us. We must not forget who we are. .”

Fei Chengye looked at the children: "The Lord Xiang asked us to be guests, but we have never cared about it. Do you want to go?"

The children's eyes lit up, and they shook their heads again.

Fei Chengye was bored, and took Zhou Li and the child out to the wing.

Father Zhou's face slowly darkened, and he sighed: "There is also a kitchen in the east wing of Jinsha Village, and I will let them start their own business and live by themselves in the future. Don't walk around easily in the Xiangjun's mansion, you can't let this little affection go away. It's gone."

Zhou Qiang and the others agreed.

While tidying up the house, Zhou Li said to Fei Chengye, "The money we saved could have been used for a loan to buy a small house."

Fei Chengye snorted: "Isn't it good to live here in Youyi Village? Why buy a house and move out? Just be a tenant farmer in the Xiangjun Mansion, and live in the house of the Xiangjun Mansion. How much money you can save."

"Those tenant farmers have bought houses, and they will officially move out when the crops are harvested this season. We won't live long."

"That's the Xiangjun Mansion trying to earn money for them to buy a house. Don't they need people to farm their [-] acres of land? They will definitely have another group of tenant farmers at that time. Hypocrisy and ruthlessness."

Zhou Li laughed angrily: "The grain is kept [-]% more, and the harvest has been high in the past two years. How can the tenant farmers in other places have such a blessing? Those tenant farmers have saved a lot of money. Everyone in Changping Township can contract one mu of land. How can there be such a good place as long as the mother pays two buckets of tax? Why is the Xiangjun Mansion so hypocritical and ruthless? Buying a house can be registered, and the child can study and test for fame in the future, why are you not willing to buy a house?"

"Don't dream, you still want to study for fame, and those who dig the earth still want to test for fame? How many children in Changping Academy are repeating grades. My baby may not be a Wenqu star, so don't waste that money."

Zhou Li was speechless.

In the afternoon, various workshops and shops began to recruit workers, and every place was full of people.

Mrs. Feng's workshop also started to recruit workers.Chen Fan specially built three workshops next to the Xiangjun's Mansion, which happened to be a rouge workshop and a silk workshop for Mrs. Feng, as well as a jewelry workshop for Master Qiang.

Zhou Qiang's family is also preparing to apply for the job.Fei Chengye sneered: "The strength of the Zhou family is farming. If you want to work, why not work in the Liu family? The wages in Yuanfeng County are even higher than here. Now that you go to work, who will plant more than ten acres of land in the future?"

Zhou Qiang said: "In the past, we had no land and could only do work. Now we have land and do work by the way. Is it the same? People don't all go out, and more than ten acres of land are busy when they are busy, so they can be planted."

Fei Chengye looked at Zhou Li: "You go to work, and I will farm at home. The next batch of houses will start to be built soon, and I can also go to work."

The Zhou family was silent.

Zhou Li and the seven children all went out.When they got home in the evening, they all said they had found a job.

Fei Chengye sighed faintly: "Human life is really different. Those people were all fleeing from famine, and they followed the township lord to become Miss Qianjin. But you have to farm and work."

Father Zhou was furious: "He was abandoned by his family. Does my child have no parents? Will he be adopted by others? Will the child eat less in my Zhou's house?"

Fei Chengye curled his lips: "Xiaozhu Xiaoya's biological parents are still alive and well, so they left them in Yuanfeng County and only cared about enjoying their own happiness. The Xiangjun's mansion has raised some heartless people."

Father Zhou was so angry that he took off his shoes and threw them over, but was avoided by Fei Chengye, and continued to make noise: "If I had been with you back then, I might have climbed up to the Xiangjun's mansion to be in charge."

Father Zhou was so angry that he threw away another shoe, and Fei Chengye ran away.

Zhou Qing said: "Those girls who have studied are very beautiful. They have either become female accountants or female stewards."

Second Aunt Fang was surprised: "So powerful?"

Zhou Qing nodded: "Really, they can write and count, and they look different standing there. They have been selected a long time ago. But now they have to work all day, so they can't go to school."

Yue Yue was stunned for a moment: "Then, isn't there no one studying in the Women's Academy?"

Zhou Qing nodded.

Chen Fan and others sat on the back of the chair melancholy, turning into statues.

Mrs. Feng came in: "All of us female wives are unemployed?"

Everyone stood up to salute, Madam Feng waved her hand: "You don't have to salute all the time at home, just sit down." She also sat down.

Chen Fan poured her tea, and she said with a smile: "Your goal of running a girls' academy has been achieved. Girls who have studied can work as accountants or stewards, and their wages are higher than that of many men."

Chen Yue opened her mouth and said, "I still feel that something is missing."

Mrs. Feng smiled: "Girls can't take the imperial examination, that's for sure, and the Xiangjun Mansion can't arrange errands for them in the yamen. Now it's their best opportunity to work and earn money and show their abilities. accomplished."

Chen Fan bent his lips: "I just wanted to arrange a good place for them, but it has never been done. The shops in Yuanfeng County are basically signed, and there is indeed no clear errand here. Maybe that's why I'm so sad."

Even if Changping Township had a formal yamen, there were no jobs for women.

Chen Yue smiled: "Maybe it ended suddenly, I'm a little uncomfortable."

Chen Ying and Chen Xiu nodded.

"That's why you suddenly succeeded. Whether they went home early or continued to study, they all got good jobs, because you taught them well. They also proved that there is still a difference between girls who study and those who don't. Read more There is also a gap between studying less and less. When classes start in the future, more girls will come to school." Mrs. Feng smiled and comforted them.

"That can only accept the young ones. When they grow up, they will have to work. And the students in the back may not be able to be accountants and managers." Chen Ying is not very interested.

"It's not enough for men to study in the imperial examinations and high schools. Is it hard to be sure to run a school and be a teacher? Just do your best."

Chen Yue and the others got up and saluted: "Mrs. Xie made a point."

Mrs. Feng nodded: "It just so happens that you have more time to do your own things."
