The Princess of Northern Land

"That's it." Zi Ge suddenly realized.

"Why is that little hoof's life so good?" The Ma family and the Yan family also knew about Lin Ziyin's coming to the city. She saw the gifts given to the Lin family by the Si family from a distance, and her eyes were so jealous that they turned red. "Zhicai, you have to be careful. Lin Zige can help you now. If you are not satisfied with her, be patient. When you become an official in the future, you will not be able to marry as many women as you like."

"Okay, if these words are heard, it will ruin your son's good things." Ma Dalang had just returned home and sat down, and he suddenly became unhappy when he heard Yan's words.

"Mom, trouble comes from your mouth. Stop saying a few words. And stop talking nonsense with those long-mouthed women in the village." Ma Zhicai was even more unhappy. Ever since he suffered a loss at Lin Zige's place the day before yesterday, his heart had become restless.

Lin Zige might have really changed his mind.

It's definitely not easy to coax a changed woman back. What should he do? He was unwilling to give up the fat on his lips. There are many scholars in the world who want to take shortcuts to become officials, but shortcuts are only in the minority. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, he will not be stupid enough to let it go.

"Mom, in a few days you will go to your uncle's house and pick up your cousin." Ma Zhicai suddenly said.

"Why did you pick them up here?" Yan asked unhappily. Although she is a niece, if she comes over, she will definitely need food and drinks, and she cannot afford to entertain her.

"Isn't Lin Zige engaged to Wu Dayou? If Wu Dayou changes his mind, mother, do you think the Lin family will be willing to continue this relationship?" Ma Zhicai asked with a sinister smile.

"What are your plans?" Yan was surprised.

"Do as your son says, why are you talking so much?" Ma Dalang thought Ma Zhicai's method was good. If a real man does things informally and has such a mind, he will not suffer any disadvantages even if he becomes an official in the future.

"We'll go in a few days." Yan agreed.

The Lin family is prosperous, and the village is certainly envious of it, but now they are helping the Lin family to reclaim wasteland, and their life is very comfortable. The Lin family has said that wages will be settled every ten days. Thinking of a family's daily income makes many people laugh out of their dreams.

Everyone really hopes that the Lin family can reclaim more wasteland. In this case, everyone can make money without going out.

But in fact, the Lin family's decision quickly brought them a sense of crisis.

"A few cows are useful." The old man said happily.

The cows were taken to the wasteland in turn to work, and the children at home helped cut the grass and feed them at night, which was very convenient.

The Lin family are not harsh old landlords who want to use people to death. The old man doesn't let the children in the family who are older than ten years old do anything at all. Only the eleven or twelve-year-old children will help with some quick work. matter.

The Cui family members were grateful to their new master and became more attentive to their work, but sometimes they felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

The seven cows bought back by the Lin family finally allowed the children to find a use for them.

There are five children under the age of ten in the family. Except for the youngest, who is only three years old, most of the others are eight or nine years old. When they see the cows, they rush out with the older children to cut grass and feed the cows every day.

"Grandpa, what do you think about hiring people at the market?" Lin Ziyin took the opportunity to ask. If there are many people, more wasteland can be reclaimed. After being exposed to the sun in summer, it will be ready for use next spring. As for the wasteland that did not pass through Heihe, Lin Ziyin planned to make use of it in a few days.

"Okay, let your brother and Dayou go to the market tomorrow to recruit workers." The old man replied.

"If they ask for the land to be calculated according to acres, is that okay?" Lin Changshu asked in embarrassment. Don't blame him for having such doubts. The people in the village are closer to the wasteland, so it makes sense for the whole family to go there and dig a hole. Wouldn't it be inconvenient if people from other villages come over?

"As long as they are willing, yes." Lin Ziyin replied.

After the family discussed it, Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou got up early the next morning and took their own ox cart to the market.

The weather is hot in summer and the crops in the fields are not yet mature, so there are many strong men looking for work in the market.

Lin Changshu turned out to be one of these people.

Upon his arrival, many people on duty greeted him.

"You kid, why are you here just now? I haven't seen you for a long time." A man came over and patted Lin Changshu's shoulder affectionately.

When Lin Changshu turned around, he found that the person who came over was from Guo Huiniang's village. It turned out that he had a better relationship with him regarding work matters. Unexpectedly, people were still thinking about me, and I felt a little touched in my heart. “The weather is too hot, it’s not easy to do work, and it’s not easy to find jobs.”

Before Lin Changshu could speak, another dark man came over and interrupted.

"I'm not looking for work today, I'm here to find some people to work at home." Lin Changshu replied awkwardly.

"Okay, are you going to get rich?" The big black man opened his eyes in surprise. They were all former co-workers. They knew exactly what the Lin family's background was. They didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, they would be recruiting people here.

"What kind of job? Changshu, do you think our brothers can do it?" The person who spoke first was smart. As soon as Lin Changshu finished speaking, he volunteered and said, "You stay with a few of our brothers." Not short, you should know that we earn hard-earned money, and we will never be lazy or cunning."

"Actually, I came here to recruit workers for my sister." Facing an acquaintance, Lin Changshu didn't get hot-headed and directly agreed to let them go. Instead, he chose to say it first, "Opening up wasteland, the wages are twenty-five yuan a day, and food is not included. , if calculated according to acres of land, one acre of land is worth fifty-two copper coins."

The wages are not low! Almost as soon as Lin Changshu finished speaking, all the men around him who heard his words were moved.
