The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 443 Encountering Difficulties (1)
Qingyang said like a little adult, "Yes, take charge. However, I don't know if you are qualified, so I will let you try it for a month. If you do things safely within this month, there will be no problems in land reclamation." If you make a mistake, you will continue to be in charge, and the monthly salary will increase from three to five. If you are willing, you will take office tomorrow. If you are not, you can continue to work as an errand in Zhuangzi."

Zhang Da really wanted to continue working in the farm in peace and security, but thought of saving enough money to marry a wife, so that the married lady would not have to suffer, so he immediately said, "Thank you, young lady, for giving me a chance."

Only then did Qing Shu speak, "Since you are willing, then go back and talk to Manager Wu today, pack up your luggage, and go to the wasteland to watch tomorrow."

"Yes." Zhang Da agreed well, but he was really upset.

Qingshu began to assign any assignments, "Your first task is to find a suitable farmhouse in Sunjia Village to rent when you are promoted to a steward. The requirement is that there are at least four houses for people to live in. Kitchens and woodsheds are essential. The yard It can't be too small, at least two carriages can be parked. Also, don't be confused about the neighbors. You must know that this yard is rented, not only for you, the manager, to live temporarily, but also for me and the young master from time to time. Go to the wasteland to have a look, if it's late, you'll have to bring someone to stay overnight."

Da Zhang didn't dare to be negligent, and answered seriously, "I remember it, little one." The master will stay overnight, so there are many things he needs to pay attention to and do in advance.

"Since you are in charge, how can you go to the wasteland to do things alone. In this way, I will let you choose two trustworthy people to take there. These two candidates, whether they are from the Zhuangzi or from the mansion, you name them , let me and the young master listen."

"Miss, young master, can you allow me to think about it?"

"Success, I'll give you a day to think about it. I'll talk back tomorrow. It doesn't matter if the departure time is postponed for half a day. The second task for you is to keep an eye on the progress of Master Liu's work. The materials they use and the workmanship are good or bad. You You have to watch carefully, and if there is anything wrong, report it in time.”

"Little remember."

"There is one more important thing." Qing Shu said here, and ordered in a soft voice, "Xiaojuan, Xiaoyu, and Wood, you all step back."

After the three of them retreated, Qing Shu pondered for a moment and then said, "In the next day, you must stay in the wasteland, and then a beggar will come to you. You must not be rude to him, because he will bring a bunch of beggars one after another. Hundreds of beggars passed by. These people will eat and live in the wasteland in the future to open up wasteland for us. You have to think about how to manage these hundred people. If you want, you can talk to the leading beggar. Your side has made arrangements, and my side People will be sent to deliver the rice grains, cooking utensils, farm tools and other necessary items. In short, the burden on your shoulders is not light."

Zhang Da was already shocked by the fact that the Hundred Beggars Association became his subordinate, and he couldn't react.Beggars, he takes ragged and unkempt beggars to work!

Qing Shu looked at him and said softly, "I'll give you one last chance to refuse."

It's hard to imagine that I can be promoted to a manager.It's hard to imagine the scene where I lead a hundred beggars in ragged clothes and unkempt hair to open up wasteland on thousands of miles of wasteland.Zhang Da was shocked, but thought that this was the arrangement of the young lady and the young master, he was puzzled but did not object, "Thank you young lady and young master for giving me a chance."

Qingshu motioned Qingyang to speak.

Qing Yang, who had been listening carefully, said at this time, "Okay, starting tomorrow, you will be the steward. Steward Gu will tell you the relevant details and matters. This is your first time as a steward, so if you have questions or don't understand Yes, just ask Steward Gu."

Zhang Da, "Yes."

Qingyang said again, "Okay, I've told you everything that needs to be said, let's go down!"

Zhang thanked him and withdrew.

Afterwards, Qingyang left the chair, moved over and stood beside Qingshu, "Sister, why did the beggar open up wasteland for us?"

Qing Shu told him the reason, "Because my sister promised to give them food."

"Will you be paid?"

"Do not."

"If they don't get paid, how can they work?"

"Because, they are beggars. They are disgusting wherever they go. They often cannot ask for food, and it is common for them to not be able to eat for three or two days. Frozen death, starvation death, and disease death are their endings. No one will use them for work, let alone feed them, but us."

He still remembered that beggars were all skinny, "Are they so thin, do they have the strength to work?"

"Rich people are used to being at ease, and they will become delicate and unable to withstand wind and rain. Poor and humble people, in order to survive, can be tenacious to the extent that ordinary people can't imagine. This is human nature, and you and I are no exception. Sister let You practice hard, and my sister does not allow you to be coquettish, just to try to prevent us from making the same mistakes as others, and to avoid losing the tough side of our character in ease like others." She paused and snorted, "I seem to be Let’s digress. Let’s go back to what we said earlier. Although they are now thin and weak, as long as they have a bite to eat, as long as we are willing to give them a bite to eat, they will do no matter how hard or tiring they are. It can fill their stomachs. It won't be long before they change their shape, and shed their emaciated bodies and become strong."

Qingyang hugged her arm and said proudly, "Sister, you are as good as Mr. You know everything."

Qing Shu pretended to be proud and raised her chin, but felt that her appearance was very funny, so she laughed.

After finally being able to stay alone with her sister, Qingyang didn't want to leave, so he kept pestering her sister to talk.

Qing Shu, the elder sister, was naturally happy, so she told him some things about land reclamation, "...you can't just think about the benefits of beggars working, eating without wages, there are many things to pay attention to in every aspect. There is one thing , They live in dirty and messy environment for a long time, if they gather together, they are prone to plague or some contagious diseases. Just in case, my sister has asked Dr. Zhou to prepare a lot of herbs. When the time comes, we Not only let them take a bath, put on clean clothes, shoes and socks, but also brew herbs for them to drink to prevent bad diseases..."

Qingyang listened carefully and kept everything in mind.

"...There are people who steal and play tricks everywhere. We only use those who are willing to work hard. If you find someone who is cheating and cheating, you will be warned once, and if you commit a second crime, you must drive them away, otherwise you will not be able to control them. If you have intentions Those who are not righteous should not be kept... As the saying goes: To control subordinates, one must act both softly and hard, which can also be said to be both kind and powerful. In short, managing subordinates is not so easy. This is something we learn all our lives, not just talking about it It's as simple as a sentence. It's like my sister now, she speaks well and makes sense, but in practice, my sister doesn't do very well, anyway, I'm still working hard."
