After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 94 Goodbye Recruitment

“This time we are recruiting mainly craftsmen. We only need fifty strong men who are good at farming, and ten women who can cook.

 Leave early tomorrow morning, everyone bringing their own bedding and a change of clothes.

Once the work is done, we will send you back to Xin'an County, and your wages will be settled at the county government gate in one go.

If you want to go, hurry up and sign up! "

Steward Sheng raised his hands to Magistrate Zhang and Secretary Jia who came out, and continued to look at the dark crowd.

　　The crowd who heard this were like boiling water, and they all pushed forward with all their strength.

 “What are you squeezing in? Stand still!” Magistrate Zhang roared, and no one in the audience dared to move.

What the two of them didn’t know was that some people who had received the news were rushing to the county town.

"Okay, let my four sons go for a trip." Old Man Hu wanted to add more people, so of course he agreed.

“You’ve grown too much flesh, and your skin is itchy, right?” Ziyu said, grabbing her two canines.

 …

For no other reason than to eat abundant fish and meat three times a day, they had to work very hard.

 The provision of food and shelter is very important to them now, and it is also a life-saving straw for many families.

 …

Other people stayed in the compound. After all, there were too many things in it and they needed to be guarded.

Ziyu climbed up the field ridge and walked out of the valley. The compound was being packed and moved, so she could only go outside to wash the mud on her legs.

 …

The sticky white one sticks to the side of Ziyu's leg and bares its teeth, revealing two pointed fangs.

Seeing a wolf dressed in white, it stood up and came towards the bottom of the valley. Many people started to fight with each other.

 The cattle, mules and trained red deer naturally lived in the cattle pen at the entrance of the valley, under the command of Sheng Xueyi.

 “Ouch~woo!”

 It's as if my stomach is really broken and there is no possibility of healing.

In the south, it has been raining continuously since the beginning of spring, and the amount of rain is surprisingly abundant.

Because they had to build a house in the courtyard, Ziyu and Xiaoluo moved back to their original wooden house. The yard was so noisy that they couldn't live in it.

Ziyu, who has lived in the mountains for a long time, does not know that earth-shaking changes have taken place outside.

There are five snow wolves serving as overseers at a high place. The workers are afraid of being stared at by the cannibalistic wolf eyes, and they dare not even think about working as a foreigner.

The maid, the embroiderer and the mother-in-law each moved back to the wooden house to take care of the two brothers' daily life.

 “Oh my god, there’s a wolf!”

Ziyu stood at the edge of the field, rolled up her trousers, and demonstrated to Chen Da.

 A sharp-eyed man exclaimed, pointing to the two highest wooden houses.

　　The snow wolf guarding the heights issued a warning to the stranger who suddenly appeared in the valley.

 The people who are far away are all people who have friendship with him, and they have had many contacts with him in the past.

“Lao Hu, my young master said that we need to expand the house.

When the trustworthy Ziyu came out, Baiyi, who was guarding the door, put his head against her, rubbing and sticky.

　Must be based on this scale, it can only be large but not small. Too dense will affect the growth of the seedlings and thus affect the yield. "

 A merchant ship carrying the hopes of countless people left the dock in Xin'an County, taking away the breadwinners of many families.

 Excessive rain brings great inconvenience to crops and people's travel.

The land is small and the yield is low. Excluding taxes, it is not enough to feed the family. No one is willing to miss such a good opportunity.

“Master, all you need to do is stand on the field and talk. The little one can understand.”

When you see snow wolves, be sure not to provoke them, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences. " Shengxing warned.

With the help of Old Man Hu and Jia Shuli, the list was quickly finalized, including the Shiliu family of three who were specially cared for by Ziyu.

 When the merchant ship docked at Daxia Bay, the round trip time was less than five days.

Construction and rice planting in the valley are proceeding in an orderly manner. The food provided with meat and rice makes the workers full of energy and there is no thought of laziness at all.

 Everything in the valley is proceeding in an orderly manner under Ziyu's plan.

Some craftsmen who lived far away came without receiving the news, but were replaced by a few new craftsmen.

No one wanted to be killed by a wolf, so they hid in the wooden house in panic and closed the wooden door tightly, and two or three people joined forces to block the door behind them.

Butler Sheng looked at the list of craftsmen and was a little dissatisfied because there were fewer people than last year.

 “Stay at home and don’t scare those people who are doing the work.” Ziyu raised her little fist, her eyes full of threats.

Butler Sheng had no time to report to Ziyu and was busy arranging people to live in the two rows of wooden houses built last year.

“What are you making a noise about? That’s the snow wolf raised by my young master.

　　I don’t want outsiders to see the young master’s exposed white legs, he said in a panic.

Many people are still thinking about the dried fish and dried whales given last year, and they are thinking about working hard. When the little boss is happy, he rewards them with some, and brings them back to the whole family.

With the memory fresh in his mind, Bai Yilang shook involuntarily and immediately sat obediently at the door, continuing to be its guard wolf.

The next day, Butler Sheng took five thousand taels of gold notes and went to sea with the merchant ship again, heading to Dujiang Prefecture to buy labor, poultry, fruit seedlings, and exchange for cash.

Those craftsmen who came late are naturally very grateful to Old Man Hu and Butler Sheng.

As soon as the sullen Magistrate Zhang opened his mouth, his official authority was clearly displayed, and the scene fell silent.

“Jia Shuli will go and help with the registration. Anyone who dares to act carelessly will be kicked out by the county magistrate.”

Although there were people working in the field, they all had rosy complexions and were dressed several times better than them, which made a group of hungry people envious.

 …

No matter how big or small, as soon as they appear in the market, they will be snapped up by wine shops or wealthy families.

 When everyone heard that it was the snow wolf raised by Xiaodong's family, they were even more afraid to think anything about it. Just think about it, a person who can subdue even ferocious wolves will be a kind and soft-hearted person.

 As soon as the manpower arrives, it is natural to arrange work after lunch.

 The most common carp and crucian carp have increased from five cents per catty to twenty cents per catty.

“The spacing of seedlings is half a foot, and the spacing between rows is one foot, and every two seedlings constitute a nest.

Chen Da, who had not yet reacted, was so frightened when he saw the young master descending to the ground in person that he stood aside.

 The six wooden houses where the livestock are kept have been vacated since the weather warmed up, waiting for people to move in when they come.

The torch in front of the county government office was not extinguished until dawn, and Old Man Hu stayed with him all night.

 …

 The broad Baili River has rough waves and turbid water. In the past, there were only a few large and small boats on the river like crucian carp crossing the river.

Xue Lang glanced at the empty main road with disdain, returned to the entrance of the compound and sat down in a row.

The most common fish in Jiangfu City has become a rare commodity.

 The production of furniture must also keep up. Send people to find more good carpenters and house builders.

“No demonstration can come quickly, so allocate people to complete the transplanting of rice seedlings as soon as possible, and the planting of cotton must also be carried out at the same time.”

 Those who have been here last year act as interpreters for the new arrivals.

Those who came to the valley for the first time looked at everything in the valley curiously.

 The work in the fort must be completed by the end of September. "

 Seeing the high prices, some people went to the river to fish in the rain, but their boats capsized and they lost their lives.

Successive shipwrecks and fatalities have made the supply of fish in Jiangfu even more scarce, and the price has soared to fifty cents per catty, making things more rare than ever.
