Chapter 736
Manager Zhang, who is in charge of the fruit and vegetable garden, mobilized 60 people from the fruit and vegetable garden to support him. Only the elderly, weak, women, children and a dozen young people stayed behind in the fruit and vegetable garden.Among the 60 people, some were also appointed as temporary stewards, and each of them would be assigned [-] outsiders. (Note: Qingshu changed the name of the thousand-acre wasteland to the fruit and vegetable garden, because the wasteland is no longer wasteland, but has become an orchard and a vegetable garden. Here, the hills behind have been gradually filled with various fruit trees that adapt to the soil of the hills. And trees that can be used as building materials; [-] acres of orchards have been developed under the hill, and there are also large-scale vegetable gardens and houses built last year. Here, there is also a Xinhou Mansion that is being designed and constructed. It was planned and built last year Half of the mansion has been included. The Xinhou Mansion has not only expanded the area, but also improved the overall design plan. The earth heating facilities originally planned for winter heating have been changed to earth dragons. The Xinhou Mansion is expected to be completed in late summer and move in in early autumn. use.)
There are also 340 veterans of the trio.These people were brought in ten days ago by a bearded man named Xue En in his early thirties.There is only one reason why Qingshu will keep Xue En and the abdicated soldiers that Xue En brought over. Xue En holds Zhou Boyan's personal recommendation letter in his hand.Regarding this matter, Zhou Boyan greeted Qingshu before Zhengyue left, and asked Qingshu to help arrange work for these people.Qingshu was mentally prepared in advance, so when they arrived, she left everyone behind without any hesitation.She was in need of a large number of laborers for farming, so she easily arranged for these more than 300 people and signed a three-year employment contract with them.

The above ten people from Baimaozhuang, 60 people from the fruit and vegetable garden, plus the 340 people led by Xue En, became the Hou's own people, forming the first group of members of the three parties.Guanshi Zhang, Guanshi Song (newly promoted), and Gu Yuanbao are not in the labor list as managers.The women's soldiers who were transferred to be in charge of cooking were also not on the labor list.

The more than a thousand people who worked in the fields except the above-mentioned personnel, the remaining people were the second batch of people who came to learn from the Hou's mansion and the third group of people who were used by the Hou's mansion to change jobs.

The second batch of manpower.

"Learning scriptures" from the Hou Mansion, this "scripture" is naturally about the planting of corn.The Hou Mansion has already stated in advance that as long as they are farmers, as long as they are farmers from the Da'an Dynasty, they can get this new "book" of planting bud valley from the Hou Mansion.Although the Hou Mansion does not charge fees for teaching planting techniques (that is, silver taels), there is one thing, people who come to learn the scriptures have to work, and they have to learn how to grow corn while participating in the farming work of the Hou Mansion.

Food is the paramount necessity of the people.The move of the Hou Mansion is a great plan that will benefit the farmers and the development of people's livelihood, and the government attaches great importance to it.Once posted at the yamen gate and town gate of Kangxi Town, the notice about the Hou Mansion teaching farmers to grow high-yield corn for free caused a sensation in the entire Kangxi Town.Lizheng and the heads of various villages led the villagers to Kangxi Town to inquire about the news.The Hou Mansion's move not only caused a sensation in Kangxi Town, but also caused a sensation in the entire De County and Huizhou.

Due to the involvement of the government and the full support of the prefect Chen Zhifu, the highest official in Huizhou, the local government quickly and effectively organized the villagers from all over the country to participate in the study.According to official documents, each village can only send up to three crop masters to participate in this learning activity on behalf of their respective villages.After these people have learned well, they will go back and teach the villagers in their respective villages.In this way, the number of farmers organized by the government from all over Huizhou reached [-] to [-].This does not include the local ones in Kangxi Town.

In the villages within the scope of the town of Kangxi Town, after Qingshu nodded, the number of people was changed from three to five.In this way, there are hundreds of people again.Surprisingly, Sunjiacun was excluded and did not get a single spot.No one in the nearby villages was surprised by this, and the officials of the town government kept silent.It is true that the Sun family members in Sunjia Village are too capable, always doing things that offend others, especially offending the Hou Mansion more than once.

The third batch of manpower.

For the farmers in the nearby villages, the Hou Mansion allowed them to exchange work for work.As the name suggests, people in nearby villages can go out to help the Hou Mansion with spring plowing, and then they can use the Hou Mansion's cattle for free.The standard for an au pair is: a strong labor helper for two days, and a farm cattle can be used free of charge for one day.The daily limit for changing workers is fifty.Few farmers can afford to raise cattle, and some villages do not have a single cow in their entire village.Therefore, the work-for-work offer in Houfu was very popular among farmers.There are a lot of people who come to work as au pair, and there are still many who are queuing up after signing up.

Not to mention the strong laborers who participated in the spring plowing today, I heard that many housekeepers from wealthy households or stewards from farms came to see the ancient steward today.These people came to Gu Steward for no other reason than to learn the art of high-yield corn seeding.Naturally, they couldn't enjoy the free treatment of the farmers, and in order to befriend the Hou Mansion and don't want to play tricks behind their backs, they offered to pay money to learn planting techniques, hoping that the Hou Mansion would agree.Regarding this matter, I heard from Steward Zhang that the butler has already agreed.The butler asked those in charge to pay the tuition fees, and took them to Baimao Village early tomorrow morning to report to Steward Wu.

Bu Wu could not help but sigh.As far as spring plowing is concerned, Qingshu can conjure up so many tricks, it's too fiddly.But after thinking about it again, Qingshu's sister and brother have no elders to rely on, Qingyang is still young, everything now is supported by Qingshu's thin back with all his strength.Although the four characters "Zhongwuhou's Mansion" are hung on the gate of the mansion, the deceased is already dead. Apart from providing the names of Qingshu, Miss Qingyang Houfu, and the young master, the role played is limited after all.

How can it be so easy to raise a family and prepare for the future of a young brother!Among the hardships and ups and downs, I am afraid that only Qingshu himself can understand the deepest.She is an admirable woman who has come to today step by step and steadily.Now the situation is very good, she has won praises for Qingyang, and she will continue to plan cautiously in the future, coupled with Qingyang's own efforts and Zhou Boyan's help, whether overt or covert, Qingyang will come to the fore sooner or later.

Bu Wu felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.He looked at the two brothers Qingyang and Qinghao who were intimate, couldn't help but raised his hand and touched their heads one by one, and said with a rare serious expression, "Don't disappoint your sister's heart!"

Qingyang and Qinghao were stunned for a moment, and then answered in unison, "Yes, thank you for the teaching, fifth brother."

Bu Wu said again, "It doesn't matter if you get ahead in the future, marry a wife and have children, even at the age of gray hair, remember that no matter when and where, brothers should be of one mind."

Qingyang and Qinghao agreed without hesitation, because they understood the deep meaning in Brother Buwu's words.Mr. Lu also said something similar to them once during the lecture.Mr. Lu said that at present, the number of descendants of their ancient family is few and weak, which is the weakness of the ancient family.If the Gu family wants to develop well, go further steadily, and go further, the two brothers must work together from the beginning to the end, and must not do anything that is the slightest separation from the brothers. "Brothers work together to break gold", Mr. Lu wrote this calligraphy, which is now hanging on the wall of the study of the two brothers.
