The rebirth of God's boss

Chapter 352 Herbs
Anyway, the Chu family was worried that they would not have time to organize a team to go further afield to buy various herbs.

You send more herbs and we happen to take them all.

In fact, when they are distributed to the Chu family, the price given by various herbal medicines is much higher than that given by outside merchants who buy herbal medicines.

However, it is also costly to collect herbs. It doesn’t cost money to organize a horse caravan, doesn’t it cost money for labor?Do you need money everywhere?

Therefore, those who were far away from the Chu family were sold directly to those who went to the village to buy herbs.

This year the Miryang region has lost a lot of youth.

However, Miryang's population has increased many times compared to before due to the reception of refugees from outside.So even though the villages have lost a lot of young and strong, it is not time to hurt their muscles and bones.It's really hard to just lose a young and strong family.

There is little or no compensation, and the breadwinners of the family are gone.

Many families suddenly fell to the point where they could not survive.

Fortunately, some families have half-grown children who keep collecting various herbs from the surrounding mountains.Since the Chu family started buying herbs, the children in the surrounding villages have been learning about various wild herbs.At the beginning, there were seven or eight kinds of herbal medicine knowledge, and later it developed to about fifty kinds, and now there are more than 100 kinds.

Everyone even divided the origins of various herbal medicines in the wild.

Like hay, like wild chrysanthemum, like wild rose, wild ginger, wild yam and so on.

Everyone frantically rowed to their homes, and then sold them exclusively to those who ran into various villages and towns to collect herbs.

Because the Chu family does not accept seedlings or inferior products.

So everyone found seedlings and so on, and they all surrounded them with fences or something.

Wait until they are ripe to come and pick them.

Therefore, various tall and short fences can often be seen on the wild hills and slopes near the village.

Zhou Qi’s family in Xiaozhouzhuang not only planted sealwort and ginger in their two acres of low-grade fields.Zhou Qi, who also planted most of the yard in his backyard, found various herbal seedlings in the wild.

When he finds one, he brings it back.

Even if there is a fence outside, it is easy for shameless people to take it away.

Last year, he was taken away with more than a dozen herbs.

The father of the family went hunting animals and never returned.He is the oldest boy in the family and is only 15 years old.His mother's sad eyes every day made him especially uncomfortable.

"Mother, I found a few more young red ginseng seedlings. When they grow up, our family will be able to sell a few acres of land again." Zhou Qi yelled to his mother as soon as he entered the house.

Mother Zhou came out with a sallow complexion.The body is still a little floating, a little tired and sickly.

She looked at her son and sighed, "We have five children, and you are the eldest. Mother has something to discuss with you."

Zhou Qi immediately seemed to be in trouble.

"Our family probably won't be able to survive in Xiaozhouzhuang." Zhou's mother said first. "So my mother plans to sell the two acres of land in the family. After paying this year's summer tax, I will leave here. Let's go to Xiantao Village to find a job. Do you think it will work?"

"Mother, there are so many herbs in our field. When the herbs are mature, it will be a lot of money." Zhou Qi didn't understand why the whole family had to leave their hometown.

"The key is to pay the summer tax for three years, and the autumn tax for three years. Even if our family has made money, how many children will we have left?" Mother Zhou asked speechlessly.

Zhou Qi: "..."

"You can still make some money from the herbs you grow in the backyard? But what if the tax is tripled next year? What are you selling at that time, selling the house? It's better to sell it now. The house, the land, and the medicinal materials in the backyard are all gone. Before. It can be sold for a large sum. Then we will go to do long-term work for the Chu family.

There is food and drink, a place to live, and wages.Your aunt's family is also a long-term worker there, and now they are going to move to Xiaoji Mountain to do business, and they don't want to be a long-term worker.This is how I was introduced.I think it's ok.Dalang, what do you think? "

Zhou Qi was stunned.It turned out that someone introduced it.

He had heard a long time ago that being a long-term worker for the Chu family in Xiantaozhuang was simply a wonderful thing.You can learn various techniques, and you can also learn exercises.The most important thing is enough wages, good food, good clothes, and a place to live.

Many long-term workers moved out directly to become small landlords after working for a few years.

Chu's family workers recruit new people almost every year, because the old people go out to support themselves, either to do business, or to buy land and rent land as landlords.

"Okay then, when are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I have already publicized the sale of the land and the house at home. I guess people will come tomorrow."

Similar things happened in many nearby villages.

This year, the Chu family sent away another batch of old long-term workers.A new group of long-term workers must be recruited.

In fact, the Chu family is strictly managed, so many people who claim to have learned the skills are willing to leave the Chu family and make a living by themselves.Anyway, being attached to the Chu family can still live a very nourishing life.

Moreover, many who have made money have owned their own properties, so they don't have so much time to work for their old employers.

This is also normal, people go to high places, water flows to low places.

Anyway, things like long-term workers are mutually beneficial.

The ones that the Chu family will really retain and give them better treatment are the family's husband Ling Zhi and all the martial arts monks.

Ordinary mortals only spend 40 to [-] years at their peak, stay as long as they like, and leave if they don’t, and their family doesn’t think much of it.

Now Xiantao Village has been transformed by more and more people.

The original Xiantaozhuang was still a bit desolate, but now the Xiantaozhuang is thriving.All kinds of medicinal materials are planted in various open spaces near Zhuangzi.Even the most barren places are planted with snake salivary grass.

Except for the specially planned roads in Zhuangzi.Other places are planted by everyone.

Zhuangzi even planted golden osmanthus trees near the avenue.Because of the Ling Zhifu in Zhuangzi, the osmanthus seedlings on the roadside were all uplifted, and they grew to be almost old enough to be mature trees, waiting for autumn to bloom.

Osmanthus fragrans is both food and medicine.

The small courtyard rented by Zhou's family was originally rented by Aunt Zhou Qi's family.All kinds of medicinal materials are planted everywhere in the yard.

"You brats, don't let the medicinal materials at home be damaged. The various medicinal materials here are planted by different owners in different periods, and many of them can be harvested this year. The original owner of the herb will send it. But our family can keep the seedlings and seeds.”

Zhou's mother's words were actually mainly for the eldest son Zhou Qi in the family. This kid is best at tinkering with various herbal medicines.

"Mother, the herbs grown here are really good. I saw many rare varieties. This kind of water condensate grass, and one plant can be exchanged for dozens of taels of silver." Zhou Qi pointed to a tree hidden in the grass. Xiaocao said.

"And this, this grass honey fruit, look, it has just grown a small flower bud, and it is estimated that it will be a few months before the fruit grows."

"Since you know Ping Ri Li, you should be careful with him." Mother Zhou advised.

Zhou Qi nodded.In fact, he really likes it here, there are herbs everywhere.
