The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 665 Unsatisfied (2)
At this time Xiaojuan came back.

Qing Shu stood up, straightened her dress, "Did the message arrive?"

"Yes, miss. Steward Zhang and Steward Wu have heard that Miss has summoned them, and they are already waiting in the west side hall." Xiaojuan said, holding a small basket made of rattan in her hand and handing it over, "Miss, Look, what is this?"

Qingshu looked over in puzzlement, and when she saw that it contained chestnuts, her eyes lit up, but she said, "What is this?"

Xiaojuan smiled cheerfully, "Boss Wu brought it here. It is said that Brother Kang Shuanzi went back to Kangjia Village after the autumn harvest, and happened to meet villagers going hunting in the mountains. The two brothers joined in the fun and followed, and then It is picked in the mountains. It is edible and delicious. The villagers near the mountains pick some back every year, and give them to children as snacks during New Year’s festivals. Brother Kang Shuanzi saw it in the mountains, so they stayed They picked a lot later. They wanted to feed the children in the mansion and Zhuangzi, and used the village ox cart to pull a cart to Zhuangzi for the copper coins."

Qing Shu took a chestnut in her hand, "Is this really edible?" She pretended to be stupid to the end.

Xiaojuan hurriedly said, "It can be eaten, it can be eaten. The servant has tasted one before I dare to give it to the young lady. Miss, please wait, the servant will peel one for you." She said, putting the small basket aside on the table, quickly peeled one out and handed it to Qing Shu.

Qing Shu took it and looked at it, then broke it in half and ate it, nodded, "It's delicious. Take the basket and send it to the young masters."

"Miss, this is for you. The young masters also have a basket for each of them. Steward Wu said that if the masters like it, they can send it over. There are still many in the village."

Hearing that there are many more, Qing Shu's heart became alive, "I've been talking for a long time, but you still haven't told me what it is."

Xiaojuan annoyed herself, and knocked her head with her hand, "Look at this elm head of this servant. Miss, Manager Wu said that the villagers call it a burr. He said that it has a shell on the outside, and it has a burr shell, so The villagers called it a burr."

It's called a glitch, and it's pretty good.Qing Shu smiled, turned around and went into the inner room, then found out her notepad, and wrote on a blank page: next autumn, I will only collect wild burrs.If there are other discoveries, make another plan.

Qing Shu put away the notepad, and then came out, "Let's go, go to the West Side Hall." After collecting the burrs, she can sell them in her grocery store, or take them to other places to sell.However, this is just an idea now, and everything will be carefully planned next year when the burrs mature.

In the western hall, Guanshi Wu and Guanshi Zhang were already waiting.As soon as Qingshu arrived, the two of them successively reported the big and small things that they were responsible for.

During Qingshu's absence, everything in the farm was as usual, and none of the work was left behind.All the work that should be done is being done, and all the grain that needs to be harvested has been harvested. Now only the corn remains.Manager Wu also reported that three of the new wives who married into their village had already been diagnosed as pregnant.In other words, there are three men in Zhuangzi who are going to be fathers.

Qing Shu said with a smile that she wanted Guan Shi to go back and congratulate the three couples on her behalf.She sighed in her heart: wait!By the time of the Spring Festival, the other new daughters-in-law are probably also pregnant.Just as she thought, there will be a bunch of radish heads on Zhuangzi soon.Food, food, we need to grow more food.More and more people are opening their mouths to eat, the number of people to support is increasing, and the pressure is increasing.However, there is pressure to have motivation.

Badlands is also good.But a very unpleasant thing happened.If it weren't for Guanshi Zhang's background in the army, and he was a ruthless and calm person, in the out-of-control scene at that time, group violence that caused casualties would easily occur.This is not entirely true. It should be said that a riot almost broke out at that time, and the rebellion succeeded.

It turned out that more than a month ago, some of the laborers who were born as beggars on the wasteland became alive.There was a man named Youzi who mobilized some people in private and formed a small group of 30 people.Then, he brought his small group to ask Guanshi Zhang for wages.They said that they had worked so hard for a year and got nothing, not a copper, and that was not fair.They made a request to Manager Zhang, saying that in the future, each of them would have to pay three dongs a month, otherwise they would not work.

Guanshi Zhang is not an impulsive person, seeing that they came prepared, he did not do anything to provoke them.He said that he has nothing to say about this kind of thing, he has to ask his master before he can answer them, and ask them to work when they should work, so as not to cause trouble.

Youzi said, the master has gone to the capital to play and eat delicious food, who doesn't know.Manager Zhang is fooling them and delaying time.So, he encouraged the No. 30 people behind him to only eat and not work.Guanshi Zhang told him a few times, but he didn't listen, he put on an appearance of what you can do with me, and from time to time, he would incite other people who behaved in a proper way, and disturbed others could not do things well.

Guanshi Zhang saw that these people were going too far, so he reprimanded them for being ungrateful, and reprimanded them to stop working as human beings when they became human.Manager Zhang also scolded them, forgetting who gave them a chance to stay away from the days of starvation and cold.They are the white-eyed wolves.

Manager Zhang would not let them go on like this, so he put down his words.Ask for wages, no.If you don't want to work, you can. He immediately invites the leader of the gang to take such people away.

Zhang Guanshi's reprimand and warning worked.The part of the people who had become irritable due to the instigation of people like Youzi settled down.They follow Uncle Zhang and just do their own thing well every day, ignoring Youzi and his group.When Youzi and the others go too far, these people will stand by Guanshi Zhang.

During this period, Guanshi Zhang also talked to the gang leader.Guanshi Zhang meant that the No. 30 people like Youzi could no longer stay in the wasteland, and hoped that the gang leader would take them back.Furthermore, he let go of his ugly words to the gang leader.If Youzi and the others had evil thoughts in their hearts after they left, did something that was not good for their master, and rushed to the wasteland to commit crimes, he would not use the rest of them and drive them all away.Not only that, but he will also report to the housekeeper, and with the housekeeper's consent, report to the government to expel these people from Kangxi Town and De County.In the local area, these people can't even be regarded as beggars.

The leader interceded for You Zi and the others, especially those who did not make trouble.He said that he would talk to the troublemakers, and if he could persuade them, he hoped that Manager Zhang would give them another chance to stay in the wasteland.If the troublemaker doesn't listen to the persuasion, he will no longer be a member of the beggars' gang, and he will be beaten, killed and expelled, leaving Zhang Guan to be the master.

Manager Zhang agreed to help the leader.

The gang leader went to the wasteland and found Youzi and others to talk to.Youzi and the others were honest, and they survived for a few days.But within seven or eight days, people like Youzi repeated the old saying, in a word, no work without wages.He also threatened Zhang Shu and others not to support him, and he wanted Zhang Shu and others to look good.
