Chapter 63 Digging Fish Ponds to Raise Fish

"I want to dig a fishpond to raise fish, do you want to help?" Su Jin looked at him a little strangely. It's strange to be in a trance.

Without even thinking about it, Xuan Yue nodded and said, "Of course, as long as you still need manpower, I will always stay and help you."

After saying this, Xuan Yue felt strange in her heart. He didn't know why he said such a thing. He was clearly just entrusted by others, and it was just a matter of loyalty. Why did he say it like him now? Willing to come to help the same.

When Su Jin heard this, she was startled in surprise, but she would be happy to see one more person helping her. After all, what she lacks most now is manpower.

I just don't know if there are any people in the village who are willing to go up the mountain to help. If there are more fixed manpower, then the things on the mountain can be carried out faster.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and asked, "Daniu, do you know where I can find people, not the kind who only work for a day or two, but people like you who can stay on the mountain to work steadily for a long time?" people?"

"Well, there is manpower, but it takes time to find them. After all, some of these people are not easy to get along with." Daniel nodded, frowning slightly, as if recalling some unhappy memories.

"What's the matter?" Su Jin also saw that his expression was wrong. Could it be that her request was too much, or what she said was wrong?

When Daniel heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Miss Su, in fact, we have encountered some unpleasant things before. Some brothers are indeed children of poor families, but when they work with us, they are lazy all day long. He also stole things, causing those of us brothers who have never done these things to be framed, anyway, there are still some scum among people like us."

After Xuanyue heard this, she nodded and said, "If you want people, I can find some here, but you have to make sure that they can really stay here for a long time, otherwise, I can't help it." Let them come over."

"That's for sure. The manpower I need is meant to stay here for a long time, and it's best to live here for the rest of my life." Su Jin's eyes lit up when he heard that Xuanyue had a solution.

"Then how many people do you need? I can help you find them." Xuanyue thought for a while, and he did have a way to find such people. It is hard to find other people in Jiangbei, but there are many long-term workers, but the real Long-term workers like Da Niu and the others who are loyal and hardworking, with clean hands and feet, and a simple mind are not easy to find.

Su Jin thought about it, and felt that the number of people needed for the affairs on the mountain was about [-] to [-] people, so he said this number. Of course, it is best to have all men, so that the labor force will increase, but if some women can also After all, raising chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep also requires women.

Xuan Yue agreed after listening to all her ideas. Such a number of people is not difficult to find, and he can find them in a few days.

After Brother Wang and the others took over the store, they arranged things in the store and handed over the work of moving the water tanks to them. Su Jin mentioned a few words from time to time, and they never went there again. After all, she was really busy. leave.

She didn't look at the fish pond on the mountain. She was really worried. After all, in order for the store to operate normally, the fish pond had to be fixed. After the fish were raised, there would always be fish to sell.

Digging fish ponds on the mountain was in full swing, and the shops in the town were also in full swing to start preparations. Three days later, the people Xuanyue mentioned also brought them. After seeing the people, Su Jin first gave them a task, which is A row of houses was built on the mountain, but it was not stated in advance that these houses were for them to live in. She wanted to use this to distinguish which of these people were really doing hard work, and which were just here to dawdle, you know Well, she doesn't support idlers, she needs everyone to work hard.

Daniu and the others were well aware of this, and did not come forward to help, but continued to dig fish ponds. Su Jin temporarily arranged for people to live in the yards of various households in the village, and each household would give some money. After all, building so many houses is not something that can be done in a day or two.

And these people Xuanyue found provided food and lodging and paid their wages, but they didn't tell them what the purpose of building these houses was. Everyone was somewhat murmuring in their hearts, but there was no one on the surface. speak out.

Su Jin then ordered Daniel and the others to observe in secret, and if they saw someone taking the lead in provoking trouble, leave them alone and let them make trouble, so that she could single out those dishonest people, and those who stayed would become her permanent permanent workers.

In this way, after the fish pond on the mountain was dug, the house on the mountain was also built on the day Su Jin bought fish fry to scatter in the fish pond. Instead, they took them to the place where the house was built to check the stability and practicality of the house.

The location of this row of houses was chosen at the small house where Su Jin originally lived. When the house was built, people had already demolished the original small house. In this way, this row of houses can be located here The land is lined up in a row, and Su Jin has planned it before building the house. This row of houses is actually just one part of the yard, but it will cost too much to build the whole yard at once, and she doesn't have that much money. Now, since these people are the only ones staying on the mountain, let them live in by building the house of the Chang Gong.

After the rice on the mountain is harvested in the future, the entire yard will be covered, so that everyone can live in it.

Most of these people brought by Xuan Yue are family members, but because Su Jin has explained in advance that only strong labor is needed, so most of the people brought this time are young couples, or only bring an old man family of three.

It's not that they don't have children, it's just that they are too poor. First, they sold their children because they couldn't afford to raise them. Second, they want to have a better life in the future and have children. So now there are only two of these people with children. Let's do the math. , There are 23 people in total, plus Daniel and the others, there are [-] people in total.

From this point of view, the number of people is enough, and the land can be leveled. The best result is that none of these people is lazy, so Su Jin will keep them all.

Su Jin walked in the front and looked at the row of houses from time to time. She knew the family composition of everyone before she built it, so there are two rooms in this house, and there is also one room, and Da Niu’s house is also there. Among them, because Daniu and the others also need to work on the mountain all the time, it is time to bring Daniel and his family up the mountain.

Now that there are so many people, they can build a house and cook on the mountain. In this way, the basic necessities of the big guys can be solved. There is no need to waste time and energy running back and forth, and it is more convenient for farming and farming. manage.
