After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 230 Failure to collect and give away land deeds

Cao Siwen suppressed his excitement, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "After digging the new well, the progress has slowed down. Half of our manpower is waiting to be rotated. It is a bit wasteful, so tomorrow we can divide a few people to repair the old well. Well walls. You can't start cleaning up the sediment at the bottom of the well until the new well is ready for use. Otherwise, if the water becomes turbid, the well water will be temporarily inedible."

Grandpa Qin said: "Okay, as long as it doesn't delay our water use, you can arrange the time to repair the old well by yourself."

After that, he cautiously signed a contract with Cao Siwen to repair the old well, and generously gave a deposit of fifteen taels of silver... If you want to buy green bricks, you can't do it without giving a deposit.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Cao Siwen took the deposit, greeted the well-drilling team, tidied up, and deposited the well-drilling team's belongings with Chai and Zhang's family, and happily returned to the town to stay.

The next day, he arrived before Chen time. After working in the new well, Cao Siwen took six masters from the well drilling team and went to the old well carrying empty baskets.

After tying the rope, I took the tools and went down into the old well.

Cao Siwen and the others were very experienced. When they got out of the well, they saw that the moss on the walls of the well had been wiped away. They were shocked... The Qin family had gone down to the well to investigate!

"You all have to show your true skills and complete the work of repairing the old well. We must not let down the kindness of the Qin family. We have made a lot of money from the Qin family during this trip to dig and repair the well. I also made three pieces of big red cloth, which is considered a big profit!" Cao Siwen said with joy in his loud voice.

After hearing this, the people from the well digging team came to their senses... Although the Qin family did not trust them and went down to investigate the well, but obviously nothing was found. Then they can continue to seal the ground under the pretext of repairing the old well according to the plan. crossing.

"Hey!" the people from the well-drilling team responded, knocking out the loose green bricks and putting them into the hanging empty baskets. After the green bricks were filled, they were transported to the ground.

Grandpa Qin brought Jiang Dalang and others here to watch them work.

Cao Siwen said: "Mr. Qin, these knocked out green bricks can still be used and will not be wasted... The soil on the well wall is loose, so we need to knock off the green bricks and solidify the well wall before we can build the well wall again. "

Grandpa Qin nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Grandpa Qin and the others still had work to do, so they left after a short stay.

But Old Man Hu wandered over, squatting by the well like a supervisor, watching them work.

The people from the well digging team wanted to kill him.

Cao Siwen glanced at them, and the well-drilling team members immediately stopped their anger and were polite to Old Man Hu... You idiots, just keep an eye on them if you want. Even if they see something is wrong, they can still clean up the mud at the bottom of the well. Sand serves as an excuse to cover up the past.

But Old Man Hu is a bitch who is too qualified. Whenever the well-drilling team comes to repair the old well, he squats aside and watches, which is really unbearable.

Cao Siwen's cousin couldn't help but ask him: "Mr. Hu, have your soybeans been confiscated?"

During the autumn harvest, everyone in the village is busy harvesting soybeans and planting vegetables, but you are the only one doing nothing!

Old Man Hu said quite confidently: "My son and grandson will collect it, but if I can't, I have my nephews and nephews from the same clan to help. I'm old and can't do anything anymore, so I can only come to help Brother Qin's family. If I fawn over Brother Qin, Well, maybe my grandson can work in the Qin family's workshop and earn two taels of silver a month!"

This old dog talks a lot of nonsense.

After failing to convince him, Cao Siwen's cousin stopped talking and just followed the plan and worked silently.

……

Within a few days, in late September, the villagers had finished harvesting soybeans. Unfortunately, except for Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao, Chai, and Zhang, the other families’ soybean yields were not high.

The worst thing is Huang Lao'er's family. The Huang Lao'er family has always been the target of sacrifices by the Huang Lao's family. During the land grab, in order to win over the Huang family, the Huang Wu family gave the most barren wasteland to the Huang Lao'er family.

Huang Laoer's family of three worked hard in the wasteland for several months, and finally the yield per mu was: "More than a hundred pounds, many pods are empty, but there are still five acres of land to pay the grain tax..." "

When it comes to food taxes, the Huang family is worried.

Huang Luoguo said: "It is difficult to cultivate wasteland, and we settled down too late. In order to catch up with the weather for sowing seeds, more than a dozen of our Huang families have only cultivated three or four acres of land, but they have not cultivated enough five acres. The grain tax on these five acres of land How to pay?"

The Wei Dynasty was plagued by disasters and wars were still going on in the south, so the court was short of food. Although the victims were resettled, the food tax was not exempted.

At the end of this year, these disaster victims who have settled down will have to pay the grain tax on five acres of land. If they fail to pay, it will be a serious crime!
"We have to hand over the grain, keep the grain to eat until next year's harvest, and buy cotton-padded jackets, quilts, and firewood for the winter..." Huang Luoguo counted each item, and the more he counted, the more worried he became.

"...How about we go to Village Chief Qin and ask his family to borrow money for the winter?" Huang Duogui's wife suddenly suggested.

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the Huang family seemed to be grasping at straws and said one after another: "Yes, go to the Qin family to borrow money. The Qin family is kind-hearted and will definitely not watch us freeze to death and starve to death!"

"Stop, don't go!" Huang Laoer yelled urgently, pointed at them and said: "It's the Qin family's business that the Qin family has money, but we can't come swarming to borrow money, otherwise we will be forced by the crowd. Suspect!”

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't survive this winter? Can we wait for death?" Huang Duogui's wife was unhappy and looked at him sideways and said: "Your wife is a workshop girl. She can earn two taels of silver a month. If she has enough money, she can buy something." We have cotton-padded jackets to survive the winter, but we don’t have two taels of wages, so how can we survive this winter if we don’t borrow money?”

Huang Duogui's wife rolled her eyes and made another suggestion: "How about your wife give up her work and let us Huang family women take turns to work in the workshop?"

This?
Huang Laoer was shocked and said angrily: "You think the Qin family's workshop is run by my family, and you can let my family have the final say?"

He yelled at Huang Duogui again: "Duogui, don't always hide behind and let your wife come forward. I'm warning you, keep an eye on your wife. If she doesn't look good, I, the new patriarch, will give birth to your family, and your family will find another one." Live your life everywhere!”

Actually want to leave the clan?
Huang Duogui didn't dare to hide behind the woman anymore, and hurriedly came out and said: "Captain, don't be angry, this woman is ignorant, I will drag her away and give her a good beating!"

After saying that, he quickly grabbed his wife and ran away.

Huang Laoer looked at the other Huang family members and warned: "I am now the new patriarch of the Huang family. I will find a way to solve the problem of the Huang family's winter. But if anyone dares to go to the Qin family to cry for money and force them to borrow money, I will I will do whatever I say to get rid of my family!"

This?
Huang Laoer suddenly became tough, and some Huang family members who wanted to borrow money did not dare to clamor.

Xue Dong's family just came back and watched a play. He put down the car curtains and said, "This Huang Lao'er family has helped us... let's go to the Qin family."

"Hey." Xue Feng drove to the Qin family's workshop in the west of the village.

When passing by the dilapidated house where the secret recipe powder was made, I heard Huang Yanglong's voice cursing at his mother.

Dong Xue's family laughed when they heard this... Qin and Jiang had the ability to torment Huang Yanglong so much, but they kept Huang Yanglong from falling out with them and coming to do hard work every day.

Just as he was smiling, a figure rushed out, the car curtain was lifted, and Huang Yanglong's roar came: "You still know how to come back? You just spent so many days just building a warehouse, you are such a waste!"

Dong Xue's family was furious. This brat didn't care if he didn't call him uncle, but even called him a loser as soon as they met: "If it weren't for Brother Zheng's face, I guarantee that you won't be able to leave Dongming Mansion."

Haha, Huang Yanglong didn't give any face at all, and asked in an angry tone: "Did you win the argument about choosing the land to build the warehouse? Don't say you didn't win the argument, otherwise I will look down on you!"
