Chapter 30

: Hire someone if you don’t want to take over the job (first update)

Author: One Pot from the Farm

: Hire someone if you don’t want to take over the job (first update)

The team from Xiaqiu Village walked home under the envious gazes of everyone.

The villagers in this village were very happy and bought a lot of livestock, salt, medicinal materials, paper, ink, pigs and poultry, etc.

Some of the large animals were used to plant rice and plow the fields, but they became tired and sick and were sold.

When Zhu Wentian saw this kind of disease, he would see if he could treat it. If he couldn't treat it, he wouldn't do it. Unless he saw a high probability of having a bezoar, no amount of that was too much.

There are also small animals that grow up, learn how to work in the fields with the older animals during farming, and then sell the older animals.

As for those who have no money to eat and sell livestock, there are very few people who are hungry and would rather find ways to borrow money or borrow money than sell their labor power.

Every animal that is sold has its own story behind it. The stories of the humming pigs are relatively few.

"There will be no shortage of meat in the village from now on. I just bought so much saltpeter just to make it taste cold. Alas!"

The chief looked at the quilt wrapping things around him and shook his head.

There was a small barrel of ice in it. I bought it in the city for 600 Wen.

There are slush sellers in the market, and a small portion costs ten to twenty cents.

Instead of buying slush, Hanhan bought ice from others, and then bought a lot of saltpeter.

The chief knows what saltpeter is used for, making ice.

First buy some ice and give it to the children to try, and then make your own ice.

Use a lot of saltpeter to make some ice, and then dry or boil the saltpeter water to get the saltpeter again.

Zhu Wentian chuckled twice and did not explain. Who stipulated that saltpeter can only be used to make ice? It is also useful in industry.

Xiao Qi thought that she would be able to eat slush soon, and said from the side: "I heard that in the north, the rivers are full of ice in winter. They dig them out and pack them in wooden barrels, and wrap them with layers of quilts. They open them again in the summer.

."

Zhu Wentian: "..."

He really wanted to tell the other party about the ice cellar, but he found it too laborious.

Forget it, if it gets minus 4 or 5 degrees at night this winter, freeze it and store it.

Use many containers at one time, and do not use too much water in each container. If there is too much water, it will not freeze and the temperature will return to zero at dawn.

At three o'clock in the morning, the people who had gone out to make money returned to the village, and the villagers came out to greet them.

Besides animals, the most important thing was money, 250,000 yuan, and Zhu Wentian spent 170,000 yuan.

The remaining 80,000 yuan were put together with the previous minister's money, and the villagers were very happy.

At the beginning, the whole village pawned their things to raise more than 50,000 yuan.

Nowadays, hundreds of thousands of dollars are nothing. Thinking about it makes me want to cry. It was too difficult at that time.

Zhu Wentian looked at everyone's expressions and understood.

Just like a certain village in the past, when others were not allowed to buy and sell things privately, they secretly made and sold them.

When the monthly salary in other villages is tens of yuan, every family in that village will build a villa.

At this time, Xiaqiu Village was the same as all the villages in Daming.

"Chief Li, every time you have leftover money, it's all copper coins. Why don't you change it into silver?"

The villagers helped put away the money, thinking that the silver was easy to carry.

"I don't want to let you go." The village chief himself didn't know why. Anyway, the village guard did what he said.

"Oh! That's silly." The other party understood.

Zhu Wentian remained silent, he had considered it.

Following the historical trajectory, the Ming Dynasty banknotes began to be issued five years later.

After issuance, no silver is allowed to circulate, and the treasure banknotes can be individually exchanged for silver and copper coins.

When you need to use treasure banknotes to pay land taxes and taxes, you can use treasure banknotes partially and copper coins for the rest.

If nothing changes, keeping silver will bring disaster.

At present, the Ming Dynasty's trade with foreigners in the city's shipping department is a trade deficit.

Along with the rock sugar I gave out, and the stone soda technology I should also give out, I will add more craftsmanship in the future.

Then the production costs of Ming Dynasty will be reduced and the technology will be improved, which will lead to a trade surplus.

This is the result of the change. After the change, during the trade surplus process, there was more silver outside.

If you keep the silver for yourself and a large amount of silver enters the Ming Dynasty, won't it depreciate?

Copper can be used to make things, but what is silver used for? Contacts on a switch? There is no electricity.

Maybe after history changes, the Ming Dynasty will be like the Qing Dynasty, with silver as the mainstream currency.

He thinks more, while his friends have simple ideas, like finding someone to make slush and shaved ice.



When the wheat was half-way through, a group of people from Lizhi County came again to observe and learn, oh, it's called guidance work.

Xiaqiu Village hired people from surrounding villages to help transplant jute into the paddy fields. They were given two kilograms of rice a day and a meal at noon.

It was the slack season for farmers. When other villages heard that such a good thing was happening, they enthusiastically signed up to participate.

Not to mention giving back two kilograms of food, they are willing even if it is just one meal.

It’s a lean period, and some people’s homes are basically out of food.

"Yichang, I see that many villagers in Xiaqiu Village are idle, why not hire people?"

Li Zhixian stood on the edge of the field and lived a prosperous life.

Xiaqiu Village sold soap again, but the scent was different from last time.

Take it to the city and let the people in the government office help you try it out.

He also talked about the improvement of the process of soap without scent, and let’s see how it is different from the previous one in terms of washing clothes.

The second time, each person was given 200 yuan. I heard that for the 100 yuan, people in key positions in the yamen would not have the opportunity to try it out. How could that be allowed?

"Li Zhixian, we know that there are enough people, isn't this just a lack of support?

Rather than letting people come to borrow food, it is better to make them live a better life.

They are willing to interplant next year, and in the process of helping, they have learned how to avoid making mistakes."

The manager explained the reason. It was all about helping people, but this method was different in appearance.

Li Zhixian looked at the village and sighed: "As expected! They say that when you marry a wife, you should marry someone from Xiaqiu Village, and when you marry a daughter, you should marry someone from Xiaqiu Village. It is benevolent and righteous!"

After he praised him, he looked at his assistant Guan Xian Cheng. Guan Xian Cheng hurriedly said: "Magistrate, although there are not many places for county schools in the county, one should be given to Xiaqiu Village, right?"

"If one is not enough, get two." Chief Zheng interjected.

It was agreed upon when we came here that there are twenty places in the county, and normally they have been allocated.

No matter how good the distribution is, can it be as good as the mood when trying soap?

"Oh? Yes!" Li Zhixian looked astonished: "Yichang, what do you think?"

Li Chang: "..."

He wanted to say no, the quota in the county school was valuable, but it was of no use to his village.

Hanhan was teaching. The adults in the village occasionally recited formulas and knew a few words, but they didn't expect to be able to write them.

If a child runs so far to the county seat, the village will be on tenterhooks. Is it okay to teach him to be naive?

Hanhan teaches his children the story-telling method. He has finished learning the Thousand-Character Classic and is currently learning the Three-Character Classic, followed by the recited Hundreds of Family Surnames.

People in the village are making abacus in large quantities and are about to take abacus lessons.

"Thank you so much to Magistrate Li and everyone, but...the village really doesn't want its children to go away to study.

Don't think about asking a gentleman to teach. One gentleman can teach many more.

As long as any child learns well, he will have to trouble you when he gets older."

The head of the village thought for a moment and politely refused. He said he would not go because he was afraid that the children in our village would be delayed by the teachings and others you were looking for.

Li Zhixian was stunned for a moment, then thought about it again and found that the chief was right.

Xiaqiu Village had enough money to build a school and invited Confucius professors to teach a group of students at a time.

"In this case, we must let the children learn easily, and when they are smart, we can't delay them." He also didn't finish his words.

Today's update is late. Something unexpected happened. The farmer's all-in-one computer is broken and cannot be started. The buttons light up when starting up. The CPU fan does not spin. The farmer thought the motherboard was broken and did not read the memory. I am so scared, so scared.

I couldn't find an all-in-one machine that was compatible with the original hard drive. I went to the computer store and met an expert. They took a look and told the farmer that the power adapter was broken. They replaced it with another one, and it turned on as expected.
