Rebirth of the proud doctor girl

Chapter 151 They're all thinking of ways to make money

Wang Sanchun just has no idea. These years and years have not given him much brains. Since Wang Bei and Wang Nan accept it, he accepts it. In his opinion, these two little uncles, regardless of their young age, are good at doing business. Can't go wrong.

Ever since those people came to Liujiayu in the name of buying medicinal materials, but in fact they wanted to buy them by force, the people in Liujiayu were on guard.

Jiang Fang also began to worry. Although Jiang Yunqian asked the family to buy a lot of food before, but the population is also large, and the food will always be eaten one day.

Moreover, when someone came to sell people and land before, Jiang Yunqian would cry poorly to others, saying that the family had no money. Yes, before selling incense pills, you can earn more than twenty taels a month, but when you go to pay the servants, there is not much left.

Moreover, the old lady Jiang bought the land with the money, and all the money she earned later was held by the old lady Jiang.

Now the incense pills are not sold, and there is no income.

Although both Xu Fan and Mrs. Zhang said that if the family really ran out of money, they would not be in a hurry to pay their wages, but it is not the case to always sit and eat.

After thinking about it, Jiang Fang felt that he was the head of the family, and he couldn't leave the family affairs to his wife and children to worry about. He also had to shoulder the burden of family life.

So, after thinking about it all night, Jiang Fang woke up early, and only said to go to the town to find Uncle Liu for a drink, but Xia Shi didn't care.

Jiang Fang's legs are already almost healed, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see the lameness. Jiang Yunqian also said that he should let him walk more when he has nothing to do, which is conducive to the recovery of his legs. Willing to go out for a walk is of course the best.

When Jiang Fang came to the town, he searched around but couldn’t find anything he could do. The one who still gets paid now is a coolie, but he can’t carry his shoulders or hands all his life. He can make a few baskets besides reading, but The money earned is not enough for a servant's monthly salary.

Jiang Fang sighed as he walked, he didn't know how expensive he was if he was not in charge of the family, he walked around the town, and was really shocked by the current prices.

Originally, a bucket of rice was fifty renminbi, but now it has grown to two hundred renminbi. Fortunately, I still have a lot of rice at home, otherwise I would not be able to afford just eating.

Compared with the increase in the price of rice and noodles, the price of meat is not growing fast, but it is also much more expensive than before. Jiang Fang went around and found nothing to do in the end. Fortunately, he brought a pot of water and two pieces of cakes before he came. Don't be afraid of being hungry at noon.

After casually drinking two sips of water and eating another piece of cake, Jiang Fang sat under the eaves of a family with a cover, and the weather was not too hot.

Looking at the hurrying people on the street, Jiang Fang felt more and more heavy. If he had known this year would be like this, he would not buy those lands anymore. If anything happened, it was too late to sell the house and land.

While sitting, someone asked, "Mr. Jiang? Why are you sitting here?"

Jiang Fang looked around, and saw a middle-aged man standing a few steps away. Although he was dressed in coarse cloth, he had a bit of air, but his sleeves were rolled up high, like a worker.

Seeing Jiang Fang turn his head, he said happily, "It's really Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Fang didn't know why this man called him, but seeing the respect in this man's words, he said politely: "I don't know if this man is..."

The man took a few steps, stepped forward and took Jiang Fang's hand, "I was going to look for someone at Mr.'s house, and I just met him here, let's talk while walking."

Jiang Fang saw that this man looked a little anxious, thinking that he really needed to use him for something, so he didn't shirk, and walked a few steps to keep up with the man's pace. Fortunately, his legs were almost in good condition. You can't be like normal people, but it's not a big problem.

The man introduced as he walked: "It's not that the drought is serious. It's about to rain. The superiors are afraid that there will be floods after the severe drought, so they sent people to supervise the people along the river to move to the temporary resettlement place first. Because the resettlement place is still open." Before the construction is completed, some workers need to be recruited. My surname is He, and I live in the north of Zhenbei. Because I can speak a few words on weekdays, I was appointed as a small foreman to build the temporary resident. I hope Mr. Jiang will not refuse."

Jiang Fang listened and nodded, "It's all for the common people, Jiang must do his best."

Jiang Fang was taken to a high slope five miles outside the town, which was much higher than the town, and even if the water rose, it would not reach here.

When I came here, I saw that the scene was already in full swing, and many people were building temporary shelters with wood.

Mr. He led Jiang Fang directly to a shed that had already been set up. There were still a few people inside who were gesturing to a drawing. When they saw Jiang Fang, they politely invited them in.

Because these people are craftsmen, even the officials who came to supervise the work are also military generals. They are good at looking at drawings, but they are not good at writing and drawing. Even if they can write that handwriting, they can’t do it. Please Jiang Fang.

Seeing that someone was invited, Jiang Fang asked some details and took a pen and paper to start writing.

Dozens of recruitment notices were written, and after they were finished, they were posted in every village.He also wrote more than a dozen notices asking the people to move to the shelter. The shelter has not been built yet, so there is no rush to post it.

When Jiang Fang finished writing all the notices and saw that it was almost evening, he got up and said goodbye.Foreman He brought over a tael of silver and gave it to Jiang Fang. Jiang Fang didn't want it at first. He came to help write the notice just to help, and he didn't intend to ask for silver.

But foreman He said it was a rule, so Jiang Fang accepted the money, feeling a little excited. This was the most money he had ever earned.

He exchanged a few words with Foreman He and asked about the construction site. Foreman He was also idle at this time, so he chatted with Jiang Fang more.

Jiang Fang saw that many people were weaving bamboo mats on the construction site. When the resettlement site was built, the weaved bamboo mats were indispensable no matter whether they were put on the shed or spread under the body.

Hearing that foreman He said that weaving bamboo mats here costs [-] Wen a day, and Jiang Fang was moved if he made bamboo mats at home, but he didn't mention it again when it was getting late.

When she got home, she gave Xia a tael of silver, and Xia took the silver. No matter how much money she had, it was earned by Jiang Fang. She also understood that Jiang Fang, as the head of the family, wanted to do something for the family. The mood of these things, naturally understand why he feels uncomfortable.

Just hearing the news that a resettlement office is going to be built outside the town, I feel uneasy, "Master, do you think there will really be a flood?"

Jiang Fang was silent for a moment, "I hope I'm just thinking too much."

After listening to Jiang Fang's words and looking at Jiang Fang's expression, not only was Xia Shi not as relaxed as Li Dai, but his mood was even heavier.

Thinking of Jiang Yunqian mentioning moving to the capital more than once when the mother and daughter were chatting before, Xia's heart was moved.

If it was said that the purpose of moving to the capital was for the eldest son and Jiang Fang's imperial examinations, this time the intention of moving away was entirely to avoid the possible flood.

Although there was news that there might be a severe flood after the severe drought in the town, the people didn't pay much attention to it, and they had to live their lives as they should.

Although it only rained a few times, every household is preparing for planting, seeing that a good rain may come at any time.I only hope that there will be a rain soon, and there will be time to plant a crop of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Most of the shelters built outside the town are viewed as jokes.

It’s not that there have been droughts in previous years, but there are not many times when there are really floods, let alone such a drought this year, it’s good if it can rain, and can it really keep falling?
However, it is a good thing for the government to recruit workers, and the money is given in a timely manner. Many farmers come to work on the construction site, and now the land can no longer be planted. It is better to earn some money every day on the construction site, and to work on the construction site, every day has to be taken care of Rice.

After Jiang Fang returned home, he cut some bamboo and made bamboo mats. He didn't go to the construction site to earn the one hundred Wen a day.

Seeing Jiang Fang weaving bamboo mats, those strong men who Jiang's family bought before had nothing to do, so they also went to cut bamboo to weave bamboo mats, intending to supplement the family expenses.

They don't feel at ease when they have nothing to do all day long, because they are afraid that the master will sell them if they think they are useless. If they are really sold from the Jiang family, it will be difficult to find such a good master. Jiang Fang said that the family was in trouble during this time, and they also proposed not to pay monthly money, but they really couldn't afford to eat. The host must take care of their own family first. Who wants to support idlers when they have nothing to do?
Even if you sell them all, isn't it the same thing to buy when you are employing people?
Even if they don't sell them, and return them the deed of sale as mentioned before, they won't have a place to eat, so they might as well live peacefully in Jiang's house.

Therefore, seeing that Jiang Fang was weaving mats and selling them to the construction site, they also weaved them together. The master saw that they could still do things, so he probably wouldn't want to drive them away.

Jiang Fang didn't stop him, the family would have no money to buy food, and he still had a grudge against Yin Zi?These people work together to weave a few taels of silver mats every day, this is not the time for him to be hypocritical.

Besides, although Jiang Fang is kind-hearted, he is not stupid, and the people who bought them are not as grandpas. If these people just watch him work and support them, no matter how kind-hearted Jiang Fang is, he will have to send these people away sooner or later. Walk.

Mrs. Zhang saw that the men were all working, so they were embarrassed to be idle, so they simply made some mung beans and soaked bean sprouts. After soaking the bean sprouts, they took them to the town to sell.

The town is still short of water, some people want to soak bean sprouts, but one is that beans are not easy to buy now, and there are beans at home, so the bean sprouts soaked are also short of water, so the bean sprouts soaked by Mrs. Zhang and others are very popular in the town.

In the past, one penny could buy one catty of mung bean sprouts, but now they are sold for ten pennies per catty, and they are sold out as soon as they arrive in the town. One catty of mung beans can yield seven catties of bean sprouts.The members of the Zhang family were afraid that it would not be easy to sell, and they only soaked two catties of beans before, but they sold them for more than 100 yuan after returning from this trip, which surprised them. The most important thing in the family is all kinds of beans. Yunqian left a lot of bath beans, and they brought them here when they moved, so they definitely couldn't finish them. If they were all soaked into different bean sprouts, it would definitely be enough for the whole family to eat.
