After a while, Butler Sheng and the boy came out carrying a black wooden box.

The helpers who had not left looked at the black wooden box curiously and secretly guessed.

“Quiet, my young master said that for the sake of safety, I will pay you wages now.

 Everyone who has received their wages has pocketed it.

Don't bring trouble to yourself by saying that my young master has no hair. "Butler Sheng stood on the black wooden box and looked at the dark heads.

"That's not possible. The boss has paid us wages, and we can't ask for it a second time no matter what." Old Man Hu responded with a smile.

Everyone was happy when they heard that they were going to be paid.

Tiedan, Wang Xingwang’s family, Bao Jiu’s family, and the three families gathered at the rice field when they heard that Ziyu’s family was about to harvest rice.

 But for Ziyu, there is really a huge difference.

Standing on the wide field ridge, Ziyu, dressed in peasant attire, held a sharply polished custom-made sickle and raised it high.

It’s still time to plant autumn vegetables in the vacant land. Everyone goes to the housekeeper to receive a small packet of seeds.

Diligent women did not rest and chat like men, but were busy looking around.

 …

 Everything is fate, so that they can meet the young master in front of them.

 When only one of the people is left in the valley, the rice harvest begins.

 Start to distribute food. Each person living in the new house has forty catties of rice and fifteen catties of wheat per month.

The lively scene of men, women, old and young taking action together was staged deep in the mountains.

Of the fifty servants he bought, only Shi Ziming, who could grow fruit trees, brought his family with him and was arranged to live in a house at the mouth of the valley. Two houses with attics were just enough for a family of five.

 Because all the expenses and people on the ship belong to the Ziyu family, the ship fee will of course be reduced.

 For those who come to work for the first time, the most practical thing is to have money in their own hands.

 They had food, money, and wages, which made the women very satisfied.

Holding the broken silver and copper coins, he counted them over and over again, leaving several rows of teeth marks with his upper teeth, and then he wrapped them up and put them close to his body with satisfaction.

 But she is very proud. Last year, the valley was overgrown with weeds and uninhabited. Now it is fertile farmland and surrounded by houses.

The younger one will strive to grow better crops next year, and he will have to work hard for the reward from the young master. "

 The drying dam and the yard are covered with grains. In this sunny summer, it can be dried and air-cleaned in three days.

The bright yellow ears of rice are hidden among the yellowing leaves. Chen Da, who is in charge of farming, spends his time beside the fields every day.

 For boatmen who go to sea, the hard work fee is two hundred coins.

The yield of wheat is 300 catties per mu, and the yield of rice is 400 catties per mu. Compared with the output of one to two hundred catties per mu outside, it is already a high yield.

Ziyu left all matters to Butler Sheng to arrange, and also asked him to send people to Kaner Village to help with the autumn harvest.

 “Wow! We have food, we have food!”

Those who kowtow, whether they are former ones or newcomers, are all grateful from the bottom of their hearts to the young man in front of them for bringing them a new life.

 “Open the sickle!”

 But each of them had an income of two taels of silver, which was equivalent to their annual income.

As long as you are loyal to Daxia Fort, you will all live a good life.

 The crowd, both crying and laughing, knelt down and kowtowed to Ziyu.

 Other daily necessities will also be distributed to you according to quantity.

 “Hahaha, there is food!”

 Fortunately, the two of them supported each other, but every time they went to sea, Ziyu paid Wang Xingwang only forty taels of shipping fee.

 Ziyu quickly calculated the total amount and the yield per mu, and looked at a group of people who were so shocked that they could not speak with a smile.

 Chen Da, who woke up quickly, rushed out of the yard like crazy.

 The three women and Mrs. Shi Liu who were invited to help in the kitchen received the least wages.

He often squatted beside Tian and smirked, sometimes he had to shout when he was dark before he went home.

 Hope to leave a good impression on the small employer so that he can come to work when recruiting workers in the future.

 …

The people lined up on the field ridges went down to the fields and bent down to harvest. They were very careful, for fear of injuring the stalks.

 Waiting for Ziyu’s order to harvest their respective five acres of rice fields with sickles.

With everyone happy, the enthusiasm of the boatmen who went to sea was still very high.

The seven mature male servants who originally lived in the compound were also assigned to live in the stone house, while the two young men were left to run errands.

 Having this food means that they will never go hungry again.

 “There is food! Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!”

Four people live in a room with all the pots and pans in the room. It saves the trouble to cook the fire separately.

 When the farming season is busy next year, we will have a big pot of rice.

 …

 …

And Wang Xingwang's five boatmen took the initiative to sell themselves to Ziyu and became real Daxiabao people.

 In the early morning, after Butler Sheng distributed wheat and dried fish to each helper, Wang Xingwang and Hong Feiyang followed the boat out to sea.

It is better to have the opportunity to work for many years. Not only can it save one person's food rations for the family, but the food and housing here are good, and the wages are not low.

Ziyu, who was counting in person, heard the gasps around her and laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

How are these people who have never seen high productivity done? “There are 2,400 dan in total, and the yield per mu is 400 jins. I’m not happy!”

 This small yield per acre is a great harvest for a group of aborigines.

 …

 Because Daxiabao has sufficient manpower, the original temporary boatmen no longer need to go out with the ship.

With more people and greater strength, nearly 600 acres of rice were harvested in five days.

Wang Xingwang became a bare-bones boat owner who only had a boat. He had to ask the servants of the Ziyu family for help when traveling.

 Chen Da, who came back from a crazy run, was as happy as a fool, and kept raising his hands to Ziyu.

 Forty-five servants and five boatmen living in the sixth courtyard were all arranged into the newly built stone house.

  When everyone gets their wages in full, they are so happy that they can't see their eyes.

 “Everyone, get up!

As long as you are a Daxiabao person, you can eat white rice, live in a solid house, and wear warm and protective clothing.

 After spring begins, allocate a vegetable plot to each house. You can also raise chickens and ducks, but forget about raising pigs!

 He has great credit for the bumper grain harvest in the valley.

 You have to do it yourself when it comes to eating fish and so on. I don’t care!

Had they had such a production before selling themselves, they would not have sold themselves into slavery.

 There are rewards for good performance, just like Chen Da.

After everyone has settled down happily, it’s time to break sticks, collect soybeans, peanuts and other farm work.

 For the distant sea, it is one hundred taels.

 Chen Da, who is responsible for selecting grain seeds, walks around each field, the basket on his shoulders gradually getting heavier.

 “Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!

Ziyu was the first to go down to the rice field where the water was drained. With two swipes of her knife, she cut off a heavy straw.

  Ten taels of silver and one bolt of cotton. "

Hong Feiyang and Xue Lang are in the valley, and there are two strong gates, so there is no need to worry about safety.

She got on a merchant ship and prepared to go to Jiang Mansion to seek professional talents such as teachers, martial arts masters, and doctors.

I also took this opportunity to see the changes outside. I haven’t been out of the valley for a year, so I don’t know much about things outside.
