Marry a peasant woman to be a queen

Chapter 35 Recruitment
Quickly surrounded Xiaoxiao's family.

Because he was the first person to come to the door, many eyes watched and smiled because he paid attention.

The scales of ancient times were slightly different from the scales of today.

It adopts the principle of carrying the pole.

A weight of about 10 catties is hung on this end, and then gradually accumulates according to the weight.

Up to five can be accumulated, which is about 50 ten catties.

With such a sturdy balance, I could see it with a smile.

It's still easy to use the electronic scale now, and it's OK to put things on it.

This thing itself is really not flattering.

Fortunately, grass ash has no weight, and a sack looks quite heavy, about 50 catties.

Shanggong Nanyu kept the accounts, and Shanggong Nantian was responsible for paying the money.

Xiaoxiao and Aunt Wang were weighing on the side.

"Two sacks and one hundred catties, I will give you 10 Wen." I thought I would have to wait, but I didn't expect it to open, and Xiaoxiao's excited voice became a little cheerful.

Hearing this, Shanggong Nanyu's face was full of reluctance, and she actually fell to the point of being an accountant. Accepting Dao Xiaoxiao's considerate gaze, she still wrote down, Wang Laoliu, one hundred catties.

Shanggong Nantian happily played with the copper coins in his hand.Hearing Xiaoxiao's voice, he slowly counted out ten coins from the inside and handed it to Wang Laoliu, who was smiling happily.

Everyone stared at the copper coin in Wang Laoliu's hand. It was really ten cents. not on.

It's a joke, it's the same as dropping money from the sky.

It's not much money, but it's better than nothing.

Xiaoxiao saw that everyone was running faster than rabbits.

He pursed his lips and ticked upwards.

Very good, it seems that everyone is not stupid.

Those who moved quickly, and those who were close, had already mobilized the whole family to come over carrying the ashes.

The family with the most came over with six sacks.

The least family also brought a sack.

When there are too many people, Xiaoxiao's work becomes a little rough.

This is physical work after all, no matter how capable Xiaoxiao is, she is still a 15-year-old girl.

Sweat gradually trickled down from his forehead.His face was a little red because of the heat.

Shanggong Nantian, who was busy giving the money, looked at his little face flushed, and smiled from time to time wiping his sweat. He had some doubts at first, but at this moment, all of them disappeared.

What kind of woman is this?
Get up and come to Xiaoxiao's side.

"If you can't afford it, don't be brave, let me do it." He took the scale from Xiaoxiao's shoulder and asked Xiaoxiao to pay the bill.

Xiaoxiao was indeed a little tired, seeing Shang Gong Nantian coming to replace him, he happened to take a breather.

Walking to Shanggong Nanyu and flipping through the records.

Already acquired so much?

In just one day, in just one Wangjia Village, almost a thousand catties of grass ash were harvested.

A thousand catties of grass ash did not cost a tael of silver.

It's still a good deal.

Looking at the sacks of grass ash piled up like a mountain outside.

Xiaoxiao knows that this is not enough.

For [-] acres, at least [-] catties of grass ash are needed to improve the soil.

There were no chemical fertilizers in ancient times, and grass ash was a natural fertilizer.

In modern times, grass ash is still used as fertilizer in many rural areas.

Only in this way can natural food be grown.

At present, it is not necessary to purchase all the grass ash, but to reclaim the land and apply the grass ash while purchasing.

Only in this way can we ensure that the rehmannia glutinosa can be planted within half a month.

It is obviously impossible to rely on these people in your own family.

Dabao and Xiaobao are still young, and they don’t have enough manpower to go to the palace. Nantian and Nanyu are obviously sons and daughters, so it’s okay to let them help. If they are really asked to come forward to open up wasteland, they probably won’t be able to finish it in a month. After all, I and Cuixia are rare. Women who go to the ground must not have enough physical strength.

Uncle Wang is still sick in bed, and it is unrealistic to rely on Aunt Wang alone.

Today, as soon as the news that I bought grass ash in the village spread, everyone's thinking about me has also changed. I believe everyone also knows that I am no longer the crying Feng Xiaoxiao I used to be.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, shall we still buy tomorrow?" Cui Xia loosened her sore arm. In her opinion, today's purchase is already enough.

"Well, don't stop buying, Cui Xia, you will be mainly responsible for buying tomorrow, no matter how much you have. Aunt, tomorrow, I want to recruit some laborers. You can see that they are all from the villagers. How much money is appropriate."

"A normal middle-aged man spends about 30 wen a day, and a slightly older man 20 wen."

"Okay, Auntie, I have to trouble you to talk to the villagers tomorrow. If anyone is willing to come to work with me, he will work for a day's work and pay for a day's wages. The villagers will not lose money."

"Xiaoxiao, what do you want such a person for?" My aunt is really worried about Xiaoxiao. She knows how much silver taels Xiaoxiao has in his hand.

"Auntie, none of us are good at field work, so we have to hire someone else to do it."

"But, it costs money to hire someone, and you have..." Aunt Wang hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, aunt, I have a sense of proportion."

"Alright, I'll go to the village early tomorrow morning to talk about it."

With the precedent of grass ash, everyone no longer has doubts about recruitment.

The first to sign up were Wang Ergou and Wang Damao.

This is a pair of brothers, neither married.

There is no father, only a blind old mother in the family.

Because of their poor family background, girls from outside the village were unwilling to marry these two.

Fortunately, the relationship between the two brothers is very close, and they are both honest and honest people.

Now when they heard that Xiaoxiao was an important person, the two brothers came to sign up immediately.

Both of them are older, and they both hope to earn more money to arrange a marriage for their brother.

Otherwise, their mother would have secretly shed tears, saying that she had caused their two brothers to suffer.
