Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

When I returned to the village, there were still many people working on the fields.

The few of them didn't care about anything else. They went back to the house, tidied themselves up, changed into casual clothes, and ate the dinner prepared for them by Jiang.

After finishing his meal, Li Shixi went to the study to study, and Yuer slipped off his chair and followed him.

After all, she was his spoiled sister, so how could he really be angry with her? As soon as the fish followed him, he turned around and picked up the little girl.

"Next time, don't run into the arms of other brothers. You are a girl, don't you understand? Girls should be reserved! Be a lady! Stay away from other men!!"

"Hmm..." The little girl nodded, not quite understanding.

Li Changle, who had not yet eaten his fill, raised his head from the dining table and watched helplessly as the two siblings entered the study.

The mermaid is still a baby, how could she know what a foreign man is?

However, it is still worth being happy that the crisis with my cousins ​​has finally been resolved.

After the meal, Jiang said Liu Tiechui and Sun Daxing came to see her.

Recently, not only has there been a big fight in the village, but the people of the entire Li County have also started to move.

Every household is working on their land. Those who had sold their land before are renting land nearby to work on.

This is the end of the drought, and the first crop to be planted after the land has been dormant for a winter. Naturally, the fields that have been abandoned for a long time need to be taken care of.

The magistrate has already decided for them what to plant.

A grain called sweet potato.

They didn't know what sweet potatoes were, but the notice from the county government said that one mu of seedlings only cost 3 cents to buy. It was best to plant them within two days of taking them home. Each household was limited to buying one mu.

This is the maximum amount of seedlings that Li Changle can give.

If the system had not inexplicably added 3000 contribution points, she would not have been able to promise the magistrate Li Huaitong so easily to give her so many ordinary seedlings from the system.

The system said that this was the space ginseng she sent out, which completed the special task randomly assigned by the system, saved a life, and indirectly completed a derivative task, saving an honest official for the Great Yan Dynasty and changing the fate of this official who would die of depression on his way back home after resigning in the future.

This official was from Li County and served in the capital.

No wonder she could still get the reward even though the target person of the mission was so far away.

It turns out that it is still serving people within the distance range.

It sounds like the Virgin Mary has great attributes, no wonder she is rewarded with so many contribution points.

Complete several tasks in a row and receive a reward of 3000 contribution points.

At one point, she felt like she had suddenly made a fortune.

Not knowing what the magistrate meant, the county clerk calculated overnight that there were 19 villages under the jurisdiction of Li County, with a total of 1080 households.

When the specific data was reported to Li Huaitong the next day, Li Huaitong immediately asked the yamen runners to post the news of purchasing sweet potato seedlings at a low price on the notice board.

The lawyer was confused, with a head full of question marks.

Where can I find these thousand acres of rice seedlings to sell to the people of Li County? ? ?

Li Huaitong just told him to stop shouting and someone would deliver it.

In the greenhouse outside the Li family's courtyard, the sweet potato vines have already spread all over the ground, densely packed. Li Changle has already told Hu Dexian that when the village fields are ready for planting, he wants Hu Chunshan to bring a few young men into the greenhouse to cut the seedlings, and then plant them in time after cutting. It will be in the next few days.

As for Xiaozhou Village, Wang Dahu talked to her some time ago and said that Zhou Wanli, the village chief of Xiaozhou Village, asked him if the villagers could rent the land in Xiaozhouzhuang for farming.

Xiaozhouzhuang only had about 20 to 30 mu of land, and Li Changle didn't want to rent it out. After some consideration, she proposed to hire people from the village to take care of the fields in Xiaozhouzhuang. She decided what to plant, and they just had to work and get paid.

The harvest in the village this year will not be touched, as it is all to fulfill the promise made before the New Year to the people in the northern counties and border areas.

If you want to rent it out later, notify them.

This year, all the sandy sweet potatoes in Lushui Village were bought out by Li Changle for Gu Jingyan. The cut sweet potato seedlings need to be planted as soon as possible as they are not easy to take out.

Anyway, the seedling cultivation method has been sent out, so being able to transport the sweet potatoes out is a help.

It may be a drop in the bucket, but harvesting once every two or three months has solved the problem of subsequent seedlings.

Within a year, sweet potatoes should be able to be planted on a small scale in the north.

Hu Dexian has counted that there are about 60 households in Lushui Village, most of which live at the foot of Daqing Mountain. There are a lot of sandy and rocky lands on the mountainside, and one acre of rice seedlings in the greenhouse may not be enough for the time being, so the system will have to pay a little.

She was also thinking that the two mu of land she bought under the bamboo forest after the New Year could be planted. Hu Chunshan had brought people to help prune the few remaining stones on the land, and now it was flat and smooth.

While thinking, Jiang had already brought Liu Tiechui and Sun Daxing to the main room.

Liu Tiechui and Sun Daxing have been extremely busy lately.

Day after day he traveled back and forth between the fields, the county town and Lushui Village, Xiaozhouzhuang.

Liu Tiechui handed her an account book and said, "Madam, this is the record of the incoming and outgoing materials of the material packages. Manager Li sent someone this afternoon to say that there is a large order from Danggui County and asked how long it will take for us to deliver the goods. The materials in the warehouse in the manor are running out again."

Li Changle flipped through the account book. "Well, ask Dajiang Dahe to go to Xiaozhouzhuang to get the materials tomorrow. The warehouse over there has... stone mortars that are not enough, so go to the stonemason and order a few more. Don't fall behind in the delivery of the small material packages here, because I'm afraid there will be more orders in the future..."

Would it be better to build another workshop?

She will also go back to Lushui Village tomorrow, and will stop by Xiaozhouzhuang to exchange the dry and wet materials.

"Okay, ma'am." He handed over another account book, "This is the handicrafts collected from the farm. It fills up a whole warehouse."

Then Sun Daxing also started handing out account books.

"Madam, this is the expenditure account for the various building materials purchased, including wood, bricks and tiles. We have added two horse-drawn carriages and four ox-drawn carts to the village.

"This is the salary of the masters hired by the village and the long-term and short-term workers, as well as the monthly wages of the servants in the village. All are here."

“This one…”

Sun Daxing rubbed his hands and said with a wry smile: "Madam, Zhuangzi's side is currently all expenditures, and there is no income yet..."

Although the traditional Chinese characters made her dizzy, Li Changle still insisted on skimming through them.

He smiled as he put down the account book, "These are all initial investments, they are normal, you don't have to feel burdened."

She pointed to a pile of account books on the table and said, "The accounts are very well done."

The data is clear at a glance. Except that it is not as easy to understand as Arabic numerals, other aspects can be seen that it is the work of an old accountant.

Sun Daxing said pertinently: "My father used to work as an accountant in the old lady's dowry shop, and later he went to the farm. The old lady taught me how to do accounting. I don't have much talent, so I only know this little bit."

"It's not about learning a lot but about learning it well. This is also a skill that can make a living." Li Changle was generous with his praise.

Then he smiled and said, "I will take Yu'er back to Green Water Village tomorrow. It's time to put the construction of a new house there on the agenda."

Before demolishing the house, some things in the house need to be cleaned up, such as the three "money trees" in the woodshed - apples, cherries and lychees.

"Uncle Liu, go to the county and find Shopkeeper Li and ask him if he knows the craftsman who built the house. Also tell him that starting tomorrow, we won't be sending you fruits and vegetables until later."

There were two house-building teams in the village, which the county magistrate had helped to find, but they had to be busy in the village.

She can't just hold back the development of the village.

……

The next morning, after Li Changle watched Leng Er drive the carriage to take Li Shixi to school, he went to inspect the construction site in the farm.

Sun Daxing, the supervisor, was following him.

Li Huaitong did everything he promised for you beautifully.

The two groups of craftsmen who were introduced to build the house were led by carpenters in the first group and masons in the second group. They were all craftsmen with good reputations.

Work has already started early in the morning.

A team led by a carpenter is building a teahouse, and a team of bricklayers is building Lezhuang Supermarket.

Someone is already turning over and drying the soil in the reserved fence areas.

The fields are full of people working.

A woman came down from the ridge of the field, with a gray scarf wrapped around her head and a hoe in her hand. When she saw Li Changle, she hurriedly and awkwardly bowed to him, and then went to the field reserved for growing vegetables.

"She was brought back from outside the northern city. She has only one five-year-old son at home, who was sent to a literacy class in the village. She found work in the fields."

Sun Daxing is in charge of the personnel affairs of the entire village. Recently, every new helper and master who comes in has a very interesting background.

The refugees who were brought back from outside the north city some time ago have been arranged to be settled in empty houses in Xiaoleshan.

At first she thought she had made a profit, as she had bought a mountain and added 28 new people, so she could hire fewer temporary workers.

It turned out that more than half of the people were old, weak, sick and disabled.

All the young and strong men were accompanied by their sick old mothers or younger siblings.

She finally just sighed.

I told myself silently that I should just treat it as a system task. The kind without contribution points...

Many of the people brought back were sick, so Li Changle immediately asked Leng Yiba, an old doctor from Lvshui Village, to take Li Nanxing and his family back to the village, and cleaned up a house outside the house for their family to live in.

From now on, people in the village no longer have to go to the county to see a doctor if they have a headache or fever.

A family of three, father, son and grandson.

Li Nanxing also breathed a sigh of relief.

His son Li Ze has been in much better spirits in recent months thanks to the ginseng that Li Changle advanced him. He can now walk two or three miles in one breath without even panting.

While feeling grateful to Li Changle, I also felt a little uneasy. Many years had passed and I didn't know where the medicinal field that Li Changle mentioned was.

Now I feel relieved. I have found a good boss and I haven't lost my old business.

It is already April and crops can be planted in the fields.

The young and strong men and the agile women in the village were working in the fields with hoes in their hands.

The craftsmen were busy with the reconstruction of Zhuangzi, hammering, and sawing.

Flower growers, fruit growers and tea growers are also in place.

"Children, let's read it together.

Zhao Qian and Sun Li, Zhou Wu and King Zheng.

Feng Chen Chu Wei, Jiang Shen Han Yang..."

As the mountain breeze blew, following the teacher's lead in reading, the sparse and ununiform voices of children reading could be heard.

Li Huaitong also helped to find a teacher for the literacy class, a middle-aged scholar with a slight limp on one leg.

Another person with talent but no luck. But he is optimistic and positive, full of enthusiasm and hope for life.

His wife followed him to the farm and went to the warehouse to make material bags during the day. When there were many orders, she would occasionally work overtime at night, but his wife would always prepare meals for him in the morning and evening.

Sun Xiaobao was also in the literacy class. Sun Daxing approved of the literacy class in the village. He said with a smile:

"...Xiaobao now knows his own name, and he came back saying that the teacher praised him for learning quickly. Xiaobao was too embarrassed to say that he had learned from the young master."

After Li Shixi started going to school, he didn't have much free time. He got up early every day to practice for a while, then had breakfast and went out to school. He came back in the afternoon, washed up and had dinner, then started to complete the tasks assigned by the teacher.

If Li Changle hadn't refused to let him stay up too late, he would have gone to bed in the middle of the night.

The plan mentioned earlier of letting Xiaobao learn to read from this little teacher was also abandoned halfway.

Fortunately, there is another good place to learn to read, which is actually more suitable.

The potential book boy was so capable and likable that Li Changle also encouraged him verbally, "Let Xiaobao work hard, and let him follow Shixi in two years. I don't know what kind of work he will do, just help me look after him. It will be good to have someone to accompany him on the way to the school."

Er Leng would not drive the carriage to chat and laugh with the young master, so Li Changle complained that the children were really lonely on the way to school every day, as if there were two mutes sitting in the carriage.

This is an easy job, and I get to serve the young master every day. When I grow up, my affection for him will be deeper than that of ordinary servants.

Sun Daxing naturally agreed.

After touring the village, Li Changle went back to the house to wake up the lazy fish, pack up and go back to Lushui Village. By the way, he took a detour to Xiaozhouzhuang.

Xiao Zhouzhuang is now being looked after by Haopo's family, and with the four grown men of the Wang family keeping it in check, it is relatively safe.

There is still a shortage of manpower, so hiring villagers from Xiaozhou Village is just the right way to fill that gap.

The fields outside the greenhouses are all used to grow sweet potatoes, so the management is relatively centralized. We are all farmers, and we are good at growing crops, so we work efficiently.

If the employer pays high wages, it is okay not to rent the land and farm it. You can use the money to buy food.

As long as you have hands and feet, you will not starve to death.

Could it be worse than a disaster?

Mrs. Jiang in the house has already taken care of the awakened fish.

The pigtails are tied into a bun and breakfast is ready.

Li Changle took her hand and sighed, "Yu'er, you sleep until noon every day. I envy you so much."

Jiang brought her a food box and said, "Madam, there are pork and shepherd's purse stuffed buns and sesame sugar cakes in here. They will fill your stomach for lunch."

Li Changle took it and handed it to Leng Er.

At this time, Ma came over quickly and said, "Madam, how about I follow you back to Green Water Village and cook for you every day?"

Li Changle didn't give in. "It doesn't matter if I'm short of food. I can cook when you're not around. Besides, I'll be back in a few days. The courtyard over there is going to be demolished and it can't be lived in, so I'll leave Brother Chunshan there to watch over the construction."

She also spent some time drawing the blueprints for the house in Lushui Village.
