Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 1216 Learning (1)
These soldiers who came from afar and joined the army in order to have enough to eat, sat downcastly on the sidelines. Some even hated themselves for being too honest. They answered what the young lady asked. It's not that they didn't want to lie, but in this situation In front of the lady who is like a fairy, no small thoughts can be hidden.

"Have you ever regretted it? What are your plans for the future?"

Qing Li sat back on the chair, took a sip of tea, and looked up at the group of people below.It was true that they were poorly dressed, almost none of them were neatly dressed, they were all patches on top of each other, and even the furoshiki behind them were spliced ​​together from scraps of cloth, and some boys had holes in their burdens, revealing white steamed buns inside.

It must be because they were reluctant to eat the steamed buns just distributed. They came to Pingyang and returned empty-handed, always leaving a way out for themselves.

"Young Madam, what you said is not wrong. We are all trying to get enough to eat. If we can't make contributions in the camp in the north of the city, we may become a hindrance."

Wang Shandan lowered his head. He knew that with his temperament, he couldn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He didn't have the ambition to make contributions in his heart. He came here because of that impulsiveness. When he was not selected, he was relieved. a feeling of.

The rest of the people also had the same idea, and they didn't know what their plans were in the future.But once I came out, I didn’t have to worry about going back. I heard that Pingyang recruited coolies to work for a period of time and earn some money before returning home.

"Young lady, that's what we plan to do."

Several people expressed their opinions, and the rest nodded in agreement.

Qingli was thoughtful, originally thinking about the wasteland reclamation plan, and then said it slowly, because she has not found so many people, and now is a good opportunity, if these people are willing to work, they can plant in the spring next year, time Just right.

"If I say, find something for you to do and pay you money, is anyone willing to stay temporarily?"

Qingli asked, in terms of time, it will probably be before the Chinese New Year.It is difficult to open up wasteland near Pingyang. The sandy soil is solid and there are stones under it. Those stones must be dug out so that they can be cultivated in the coming year.

"You don't need to give us money, just take care of the food."

None of the people who came here dared to ask the young lady for money, but they had to eat to do the work, so some people still mustered up the courage to reply.

"This year, there is a new type of grain in the Northland. You should know that I am hiring people to open up wasteland, and I will use this field as a grain depot for the army in the north of the city."

Qingli didn't hide anything, she said her plan, this is equivalent to a family's family land, the army in the north of the city can be self-sufficient in the future, and doesn't need to rely on the people to increase taxes, if there are more, it can also be used as military pay.

This thought brightened the eyes of the soldiers who had been paying attention, and they guessed in their hearts that the young lady must have an idea, otherwise they would not have kept these people.It turned out that the young lady had made future arrangements for them, and it was a lie for everyone to say that they were not moved.

"After the land reclamation, you can continue to stay where you want to stay. I will let people build houses and yards around for your family to live in."

Qingli paused, and continued to talk about the attractive conditions, "Those who can stay are equivalent to passing the assessment. You are also a member of the army in the north of the city, and belong to the logistics battalion."

If someone kills the enemy on the front line, it is natural for someone to make contributions in obscurity behind the scenes. Using outsiders to farm is too selfish and difficult to manage. It is better to divide these people into the camp in the north of the city. Of course, the premise is to look at their performance in land reclamation.

Qingli drew a big pie. After hearing this, these people nodded with excitement in their eyes. This is undoubtedly the best way out for them!
"Young Madam, thank you for thinking about us, we must do a good job!"

"I will definitely live up to your kindness, Young Madam! We are all used to doing farm work, so we have the strength!"

Several of them stood up excitedly, kept rubbing their hands, with simple and honest smiles on their faces.The Young Madam gave them a chance, it was nothing to spend a little effort on, they would be fed, they would have money, they would have a yard to live in in the future, and they could take over a whole family.

After joining the army in the north of the city, they are also people who eat public food, have military pay, and take care of the warm squad. Compared with those soldiers who go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and have their lives in danger at any time, they are much happier.

At this moment, everyone planted a seed in their hearts. They thought that they must work hard, take good care of the crops, and produce more in the future. In this way, the brothers fighting on the front line can be fed and have physical strength, and they will surely win the battle.

Everyone expressed their determination, Qingli nodded, she was very satisfied.Regarding the title deed of the wasteland, Qingli asked a soldier to go to Zhao Zhifu to handle it. They were all acquaintances and bought it at a low price. Zhao Zhifu insisted on not accepting money. The climate in Pingyang is cold, and there are not so many people, most of them are land without owner.

For the sake of the future, Qingli still insisted on buying it with silver, and completed the title deed.This is considered appropriate.Just waiting for someone to enter, have tools, and start land reclamation.

In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, it is neither hot nor cold. At the best time, there are enough people, and we can speed up the work for a month or so. Before the snow, the leveling should be completed.In the first year, it is not necessary to ask for a large area. It is good to set up a piece of land for farming first, and proceed step by step.

Beside, there were many soldiers who were signing up. Before joining the army, the soldiers would give them a multiple-choice question. Some people hesitated, and finally chose Qingli's side. life, farming, labor, and harvest.

In one afternoon, the personnel had been determined.Qingli has harvested a team of dozens of people, and this team is still expanding.It was time for dinner soon, and the selected recruits were arranged in the new barracks, and meals were provided by the camp in the north of the city, but those who followed Qingli to open up wasteland had nowhere to go.

They are not officially considered soldiers of the northern battalion, so they are naturally not under the jurisdiction. Qingli found a small restaurant, invited everyone to dinner, and rested in the small inn tonight. In the morning tomorrow, she will arrange cattle Car, go directly to the wasteland to build a shed.

Farm tools can be purchased or borrowed from the farm at home. The weather is not too cold now, so it’s easy to settle down. When the time comes, let’s ask nearby people to cook and send them to the wasteland with carts. Land reclamation is physical work. Not enough strength, Qingli provides three meals a day.

Simply stated the rules, it is getting late, and the specific matters will be arranged tomorrow. Here, the soldiers are sorting out some materials, which include the soldiers' household registrations, etc., to facilitate the counting of the number of people in the future.

In a flash, it was August [-]th, and Qingli had already found someone to inform Chunyuwen that early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he left the city to Surabaya Pass, and there was only one day left to arrange land reclamation and purchase.
