The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 436 Seeking (3)
There is no shortage of good things in this world, so the story of Mr. Zhang and Gu Yunfu quarreling in the ancient mansion in the hall spread to the ears of everyone in the ancient mansion within a quarter of an hour.Everyone was angry, but Qingshu was very indifferent.

Mother Su was also very angry, "Miss, why are you not angry at all?"

Sitting in front of the embroidery frame, Qing Shu lowered her head to embroider mandarin ducks in the water, and replied calmly, "There is nothing to be angry about. Their lives are more miserable than the other. Master Zhang only has money in his eyes, and his son's life is not worth it. A man with good hands and feet, who doesn't want to rely on his own hands to live his life all day long, only thinks about the good things of getting money for nothing. If he has the skills to get angry with them, he might as well embroider the mandarin ducks for practicing hands arranged by Mother Su Really." Indeed, the mandarin ducks she is embroidering at the moment are homework assigned by Mother Su.

Therefore, Qing Shu's words hit Mama Su's heart.Mother Su was happy, "That's the reason, miss, then you can embroider, and this old slave will go back to work."

"Okay." Qing Shu said with a slight smile.After Mama Su left, she put down the embroidery needle in her hand, stood up, moved her slightly sore shoulders, and walked back and forth on the ground, stretching her limbs and moving her muscles.She can't learn the old lady's way of sitting for a long time. Even if she is a female celebrity, she is used to getting up and moving from time to time, for fear that something will go wrong when she sits.

She thought as she stretched her muscles and bones, this February will be over in a blink of an eye, and it will be March in a blink of an eye, and it is almost time for the wasteland to move.Thinking of this, she walked out with a happy face, "Xiaojuan, send the butler to speak in the west side hall."

In the west side hall, Qing Shu stared at the butler with a smile and said, "It's time to move over to the wasteland. Let me tell you the general plan. The butler will make arrangements."

Butler Gu didn't seem surprised, "Miss, please tell me."

"The 110 mu of wasteland between Sunjia Village and Fengjia Village will be called Baimaotian in the future. I plan to hand over this land to Guanshi Wu, and let him take care of both the farm and the wasteland. There is not enough manpower, so let him come from the nearby village. Find long-term or short-term workers."

Butler Gu said, "Boss Wu is up to the task. But Wu Guanshi mentioned that if you want to use people when opening up wasteland, Miss, you don't have to look for them in various villages. Say hello to Gu Lizheng from Xiaogujia Village. Gu Lizheng will definitely be able to recommend you. A solid crop handle."

"I will not interfere in this matter. In short, the matter of opening up wasteland in Baimaotian is fully entrusted to Wu Guan."

This surprised Butler Wu, "Miss, what is this?"

"The wasteland of 67 mu is enough for me to work on, and I don't care about Baimaotian. I believe that Manager Wu will be able to manage this Baimaotian well, so I won't worry about it." Qing Shu said I want to Said like throwing his hands away.

Steward Gu has no objection to this, but now he is more curious about how Miss Thousand Acres of Wasteland wants to open.

"In this weather, as long as the quilt is thicker, it should be fine to build a thatched cottage!"

Gu Steward was surprised, "For the farmers, it's no problem at all."

"Well, you should contact Master Liu immediately and let Master Liu prepare as soon as possible. I want him to build forty thatched houses on my thousand acres of wasteland. As for the building of green brick houses, take your time later. "

Steward Gu was quite surprised, "Miss, what are you doing with so many thatched cottages?"

"For land reclamation. Don't ask so many questions, just do what you want. Also, remember to buy more old coarse grains, brown rice, not ground rice. This is a 500 tael silver ticket, you can get 500 tael silver first Buy rice grains. But there is one thing, even old rice should be good, don’t eat those moldy grains that make people eat bad.” Then she muttered, “Old rice is cheap, 500 taels probably can buy a lot few."

Butler Gu couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what are you doing with so much old rice?"

Qingshu coughed, and suddenly lowered her voice, "Housekeeper, you can't say I'm stingy. To tell you the truth, I need a lot of people to eat and live there. Three meals a day will definitely cost a lot I was afraid I couldn’t afford new rice, so I thought of relatively cheap old rice.” Under the surprised gaze of the housekeeper, she said, “I want a hundred people to live and eat there, and they will work for me. They have enough to eat and don’t pay wages. Because of this, I thought, as long as the rice is good, old rice or new rice doesn’t matter, the main thing is to save a few money, and then give them meat and vegetables three times a month.”

Butler Gu found it inconceivable, where can I find so many food-only meals without labor for wages.

Qing Shu saw the question on the housekeeper's face, and said softly, "The beggar gang."

As calm as an ancient butler, he was stunned to hear the word Beggars' Gang.But after being stunned, I thought about it again, no, three meals a day are provided, and you can still eat. As long as the beggar is not stupid, he will happily earn and rush to work for his lady, what kind of wages do he want!In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for building forty thatched huts.A thatched hut that can keep out the wind and rain is simply a gorgeous residence for a beggar, and there is no need to build a serious adobe house.

Butler Gu thought it was unbelievable, no one else could think of it, how could his lady think of it!How could his lady dare to think about anything!With this in mind, he took the bank note and hurried to work.He not only has to hurry up to buy rice, but also talk to Master Liu about building a thatched house, and this action must be quick.

Qingshu called Guanshi Ding again, and told Guanshi Ding to make an appointment with the well-drilling master in advance.Before the land is civilized, at least two wells must be dug out of their wasteland. If people want to drink water, they must have wells.The spring in Xiaoshantouer is too far away. It is said that the water in the distance cannot quench the thirst. If you don’t dig a well nearby, do you have to ask her people to cross hundreds of acres of land to fetch water and eat it!

When the ancient mansion was making preparations for land reclamation, Mrs. Ma visited for the second time.

This time, Qingshu met Ma Shi in the front hall.

Ma Shi's complexion today is better than last time, but it is obvious that his mental state is not as good as before.Moreover, her clothes today are much more ordinary, she no longer wears the silk and satin that was used as a facade, the gold bracelet on her wrist is gone, and the gold hairpin on her head has been replaced with a silver hairpin.She smiled gently, stared at Qingshu and asked softly, "How are you doing recently? How is Qingyang's studies?"

Qing Shu politely smiled and replied, "It's all okay, Qing Yang is very serious about his studies."

Mrs. Ma sighed softly, "You are all good children, unlike those raised by your aunt, you are not worry-free." Immediately, she gave Qing Shu a sorry look, "Auntie is confused again, I actually mentioned this to you." Then she smiled softly, "Auntie came here just to explain what happened last time. Last time, Auntie really wanted to repay the letter, not to ask for your mother's promise. What your uncle did next time, One by one, one after another, it's a mess. My aunt can't stop it, but I can still tell the right from the wrong, so I don't have the face to ask for things promised many years ago."

Qing Shu didn't express any opinion on this, but just smiled back politely.
