Playful peasant girl made a fortune: uncle begged to take it away

Chapter 150 People in Zhuangzi

The north is no better than the south. The flood started to turn cold shortly after the flood. The land was bought because the disaster had just passed, so it was very cheap. Every big village kept a lot of people, but no one knew who the owner of the village was, but everyone I am willing to stay, because this is the only way for them not to starve to death, but also to preserve their dignity, without having to beg for a living, and to keep their families.

In fact, these people did not eat very well, only sweet potatoes, a small amount of rice and corn, and a lot of dried vegetables, but compared to those outside, they felt that they were lucky, and at least they would not starve to death.

Once the land was bought, Mingyu asked people to send food secretly. Although it was not much, it would not let them starve to death. At the same time, they also sent sweet potato seedlings. Each village reserved one person to guide them in planting sweet potatoes. Seedlings, as well as plowing and fertilizing the land.

In fact, the people in every village are very busy. They need to build houses, dig big ponds, plow the ground, and make water canals. There are not many people, but as long as the people who come in work very hard, because this is their chance to survive.

They escaped from the disaster, but if there was no food from the Shen family, they would have starved to death if they relied on the court alone. They gave rice soup with no visible rice.

But relying on other people's grain, how long can they receive it, and how long can others give it away? When they heard that this large piece of land was bought by a mysterious person, and they wanted to build a village and hire people, everyone flocked to it.

Not everyone can come in, they need to go through an assessment, everyone who comes in is signed a contract, it is a death contract, and those who drag their families have to sign with the whole family, the conditions at that time were so harsh, everyone just wanted to survive , but there are also many people who are unwilling.

After passing the assessment and signing the contract, I found out after coming to Zhuangzi that the owner of Zhuangzi is not here. There are no rules in the village, or there are no rules yet, but the owner of Zhuangzi is a good person, because he did not let people treat them. How, as long as they work honestly and diligently, they will not be hungry.

Zhuangzi sent people to manage them, taught them to plant, let them plow the land, they did the work they were familiar with, and they didn't feel disgusted, and the managers were very good, and they didn't force them to work, and oppressed their labor force desperately.

Every day when the time comes, the big bell on the Zhuangzi will ring. Except for the old women, everyone else has gone to the ground. These old people will be responsible for cooking for them. Now there are two meals a day. The steward told us, The master will come in the future, and the master will let all the people working under him eat three meals a day, as well as rice.

But they are very satisfied now. In the morning, corn and rice are cooked into porridge, and at night, sweet potatoes and rice are cooked into rice, served with dried vegetables, meat once every five days, and fragrant smoked fish. In the past, they had a lot No one has ever eaten such a good meal.

So they are grateful to the owner of the village, and work harder every day. When the sweet potato seedlings grow alive, the steward takes them to cut the seedlings and plant them again. The sweet potato leaves are used to make vegetables. The flood lasted for half a year, and they ate green for the first time, and tears kept falling down.

The days will get better and better, the steward told them.They also deeply believe that, you see, don't they all survive now?
