Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 91

Pomegranate lifted the tank with strength, "I didn't think so. How could you go crazy when you are so good? I have never seen you go crazy after we have been married for so long. I know you are very capable. Last time you were in Weihe County. Send that official boss and a group of small servants around, they are official servants! This group of beggars, Luo Luo, can't be compared with official servants, it must be as easy as eating and sleeping if you manage them or want to send them away."

Pomegranate spoke with great enthusiasm, and Qian Feng smiled when he heard it, and praised: "My pomegranate is still magnificent! In our family, only you are my bosom friend."

Pomegranate was praised so much that her face was full of smiles, "Of course, I am your wife."

After dinner, Qian Feng went to the mountain behind the village to see the group of beggars.These people are all farmers, and all of them are good at work. When Qian Feng came, they had already set up half of them.

The head of the beggar is Wang Qingtou, and he has led these people for more than three years. He usually puts on airs and manages these people submissively.He also knows how to divide labor, a dozen people cut trees, a dozen people cut thatch, a dozen people set up a tree there, and five people set up five pots for cooking.

He planned to build five sheds, and live ten people in each shed.The chosen place is still in a mountain col, where it is sheltered from the wind, and it will not be too cold in winter.When the shed was half built, it was only a matter of setting up beams and thatching on the roof, so he asked everyone to come over for dinner first.

Seeing them eating, Qian Feng sat down beside them.The so-called chairs are thick tree stumps cut down, which can be used to sit on.

Everyone was eating with broken bowls used for begging. Seeing Qian Feng coming, they all sat in a circle and listened to Qian Feng's orders while eating.

Qian Feng inquired about the beggar leader's name, and called him directly, "Qingtou, although I am an official, but a small official, I am in charge of the mountains in this area. The barren mountain in front of the village is also in my charge. That is a mountain full of marble, the government said, if I can find someone to mine the marble and sell it for money, so that everyone can have a meal, it will benefit the people, so I think you people who have no fields and no land It is most suitable for people to do it. You say you can only do physical work, then you will contribute your strength, and I will take care of the food! If you make money, I will send you money every month. If you are unlucky and lose money, this is also It has nothing to do with you, I will find another job for everyone, anyway, I won’t let everyone go hungry.”

Everyone was beaming when they heard that after earning money, they would be paid a lot of money. They also heard that even if they lost money, Qian Feng would find work for them again. Doesn't this mean that Qian Feng will always cover them?This is simply a great thing that fell from the sky!
When Wang Qingtou was happy, he called Boss Qian Feng directly, "Boss, you will be the boss from now on, and I am the little boss."

Qian Feng laughed, "You are the boss, and I won't steal from you. From now on, you can call me... Fangzhu. We are going to build a stone workshop. I am the workshop owner, and you are the workshop workers. From now on, we will be like a family. Whether we are full or hungry depends on what we do."

Wang Qingtou laughed loudly, "Fanzhu? Fangzhu sounds good, so I'm still the boss. Fangzhu don't worry, I will work hard and keep everyone from being lazy!"

"Okay! But I won't make everyone too tired. I will let everyone rest for a day every six days. Only when you have rested can you work hard."

Everyone heard that there is still a holiday, so they can go home and have a look. They all nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and their eyes were shining with anticipation.

Although Qian Feng wanted to make money, he definitely didn't want to make money like a landlord. He knew that many people here borrowed money from the landlord.Everyone has a bad impression of the landlord, so Qian Feng will not let them work as desperately as the long-term workers in the landlord's family.

Holding the bowl with rough and cracked hands, Wang Qing took a sip of hot radish soup, and said carelessly: "Working for the landlord all year round, we can only rest during the Chinese New Year. We want to be long-term workers, but the landlord is not willing to ask for it. It's really generous to let us rest every six days!"

Qian Feng saw that everyone had no objections at all, and they were all so enthusiastic, so he felt more at ease, so he chatted with everyone about the family, who's name, and who is in the family.After only a short while, everyone became like a family.

It was getting late, Qian Feng stood up, "Hurry up and set up the shed, rest early, if you want to go home tomorrow, you can go home, tell your family where you are, don't let them worry. I will go tomorrow Buy the guy who needs to mine the stone, and you will have to work in the future."

"Good!" Everyone replied in unison.

Qian Feng walked a few steps forward, then suddenly turned around and said, "I'll send someone to deliver food and vegetables tomorrow morning, so please don't go to the village to get things."

"Remember! Remember!" Everyone hurriedly responded, the word "dare not" seemed to be written on their faces.

Wang Qingtou responded loudly with a smile: "Master, don't worry, they don't dare to mess around with me."

Qian Feng did not go home, but went to Lizheng's home.

In addition to the county magistrate in Qinghe County, there are also several small officials who have meritorious service and Zhu Bo. In addition, there are some small officials who handle errands and a few fast arresters.

A Lizheng in the county seat is one mile long, and there are dozens of households within a mile, so there are twenty Lizhengs in Qinghe County.Each market town will have a Lizheng. There are fifteen market towns in Qinghe County, and there are fifteen Lizhengs in each town.

But in the countryside, Lizheng doesn't just care about the people within a mile, because the villages are not big, and the distance between the villages is quite far.If there is one Lizheng for every mile of road, it means that every village has to have one Lizheng. There are thousands of small villages in Qinghe County, and it is impossible to afford thousands of Lizhengs. Therefore, there are usually only one Lizheng in every ten villages. Rizheng.

Li is in charge of the big and small matters of these ten villages, but in fact, the main thing is to urge the payment of taxes and grains and the return of fields, and then deal with some chicken and dog robbery.Every village has a head of household to assist Lizheng in handling affairs, but the head of the household has no salary, which means it sounds nicer in name.

In fact, Lizheng received very little salary, and the Lizheng in the countryside was even more incomparable with the Lizheng in the city.There are shops in cities or market towns, and Lizheng picks on faults, and the shopkeepers give Lizheng some gifts.However, Lizheng in the countryside can't support a family with salary and food, and most of them plant a few acres of land to supplement their families.

Qian Feng knew that if he wanted to mine stones smoothly, he had to coax Lizheng well, so he went to Lizheng's house at night.
