Shen Ling recruited these helpers to the village, not purely to help them tide over the difficulties, but the Zhuangzi really needed some helpers.

Seeing that early winter is here, the cotton-padded coats on the two hundred newly recruited families are still made in the past year. Shen Ling intentionally wanted to distribute two sets of winter clothes to each of them. Only then did he remember to recruit some helpers to the village.

After the dozen or so women or girls arrived in Dezhuangzi, Qiuhe came forward to test them, and selected a dozen of them who could do needlework and sent them to the sewing room. The rest were assigned to the kitchen.

Later, Biezhuang recruited ten or so women from other tenant households who were better than female red, and almost 30 people were gathered, and they began to seize the time to sew winter clothes for those householders.

While the sewing room was busy sewing winter clothes, the five thousand kilograms of iron ore returned by the caravan from Hanzhong was also stepped up by the blacksmiths to make knives and spear heads.

When the first snow fell, Shen Ling sat by the charcoal fire, looking at the account book presented by Guan Shi.

Over the past few months, Bezhuang has recruited households and helpers, and has also purchased iron ore and salt, which cost a lot of money. However, the grain harvested in the autumn harvest was left untouched, so this book only saw the infestation and sees the entry. If this continues, the money accumulated in Bie Zhuang over the years will be used up in a few months, so the road steward A little worried.

After reading the account book, Shen Ling knew Lu Guanshi's meaning, "Put all the gold ingots I exchanged back from Hanzhong on the account, it should last for several years."

Guan Shi Lu didn't know that Shen Ling did these things for the safety of Bezhuang, but whether the treatment of the two hundred family members would be better, so he tried to tactfully put forward his own suggestions.

Shen Ling listened to him quietly, and finally said: "A few days ago, I asked you to recruit some scholars, but someone came and ran?"

Guan Shi was taken aback for a moment, wondering if they were talking about Jia Ding’s treatment, why they mentioned it again suddenly, but he dared not answer Shen Ling’s question, "After the notice was posted, although a few people came They ran, but they were all here to fight the autumn wind, so I let them go."

Shen Ling groaned slightly, Bie Zhuang's power was still too weak, and it was normal that there were no decent talents or people to come and run.

"How much coarse grain can be evened out in Biezhuang?"

Guan Shi became more and more puzzled, but still replied: "This year we have received more than 700 stones of coarse grain. Half of it has been used in the past few months, and there are more than 300 stones of grain left."

In Biezhuang, most of the grains supplied to households and subordinates are coarse grains, and the grains distributed to households and helpers are also coarse grains, so coarse grains are the fastest consumed.

More than three hundred stones is more than three thousand kilograms. Shen Ling quickly calculated it, and when he looked up, he said: "These days, I heard people say that many people fleeing from famine have flooded in the county town. From tomorrow, you will pick ten or so. The old people in the village went to the county town to serve porridge for ten days. When serving the porridge, they can take the opportunity to reveal our desire for talent." The county town Shen Ling said is Meishan County, which is more than 100 miles away from Biezhuang. The land is named after Meishan. The Biezhuang where Shen Ling is currently located is in the jurisdiction of Meishan County. At this time, if you go to the city to make porridge, you will gain a good reputation first, and you can also take the opportunity to recruit some talents.

Guan Shi had come to persuade Shen Ling to lower the treatment of the family members, but he didn't think that Shen Ling not only didn't adopt his suggestion, but also planned to serve porridge. In this way, wouldn't it be necessary to use up a large amount of food.

He said anxiously, "Miss, if you don't talk about porridge, you will consume dozens of catties a day. In this way, can our food support the next spring?"

Shen Ling said: "Since you want to serve porridge, you should be more generous. Take out 60 kilograms of brown rice every day and add some beans. Make sure to cook the porridge thicker. As for the food issue, I know it in my mind. When the snow melts, I will send people back to the county to transport grain. There is a village there, and there is still a lot of coarse grain."

Manager Lu heard that Shen Ling said that there was still a lot of surplus food in the county, and he was relieved, but he still didn't agree with the porridge.

Shen Ling didn't wait for him to raise his objection, so he sent him away from the beginning, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, Lu Guanshi was loyal and faithful, but his vision was not broad enough. It's okay to be a small steward in Biezhuang, but as the population of Biezhuang increases and there are so many affairs, he is somewhat unsuitable for this manager.

As for the housekeeper, who was a little older, Shen Ling couldn't bear to make him run around and tired again. And Ah Sheng is too young to live in the people below. So now Shen Ling is eager to recruit someone who is loyal to her and has vision and ability.

However, such a person may be met but not sought.

Shen Ling was thinking about whether to build a few schools in the spring next year to cultivate some scholars who were truly loyal to him, and he saw Qiuhe stepping in.

Qiu He first stomped his feet at the door and stomped off the snow on his feet. Only then did he talk to Shen Ling about the progress of the batch of winter clothes. "Miss, those winter clothes have already finished more than two hundred pieces. Hundreds of winter clothes to the families?"

Shen Ling nodded absent-mindedly, "It's fine for you to decide this little thing."

Qiu He said again: "According to the sewing room's progress, all winter clothes will be ready within ten days. The newly-accepted people in the sewing room will continue to stay in the house or will it?"

Shen Ling thought about it for a while, "Let them stay in the house. After the winter clothes are finished, I will have tasks assigned to them." It happens to be able to sew some leather armor during this period of agricultural slack to resist the enemy. Knife cut and arrow shot. No way, the amount of iron ore is limited, and we can only make weapons first, and the iron armor will be put back.

After Qiuhe's reminder, Shen Ling remembered that after a few days when the snow melted, he should organize the family to go hunting in Meishan and hunt back some animals with furs that can be used for making leather armor. At the same time, hunting can also be used to improve the combat effectiveness of the family.

Under the training of twenty bandits, the two hundred family members had already mastered swordsmanship and spear skills, and then Shen Ling specially ordered them to learn archery.

Therefore, after all the snow was gone, under the leadership of a few old hunters, two hundred families brought back a lot of prey.

It's just that the prey is mostly small animals, and there are few deer and bears whose fur can be made into leather armor. Moreover, the cobbler in Zhuangzi said that the best material for making leather armor is cowhide, and deerskin and bear skin are not as flexible as cowhide.

Ever since Shen Ling bought more than 30 horses at a high price in order to go to Hanzhong, she had the idea of ​​using the space to breed horses on the pasture. After her experiments, she found that the space breeding function can speed up the growth of horses by half, and the fecundity is stronger. A mare can give birth to two babies a year, that is, two ponies. The pony can be bred after more than half a year. If you adjust the space and time, this speed can be faster.

Now that he heard the cobbler's words, Shen Ling started raising cattle while raising horses. Horses can also be bought at a high price, and cattle are the main force in arable land, I am afraid that the country does not prohibit them, and few farmers are willing to kill cattle. Therefore, for the sake of cowhide, Shen Ling can only choose to breed it herself.

Shen Ling had acquired the function of breeding in the world of cultivating immortals. Although he had raised some spirit sheep and rabbits, most of them were slaughtered when they were edible, and he had never bothered. Later, after the formation of alchemy, the breeding function of the space was almost forgotten.

Later, in the world she wore, the identity was either the princess or the princess, or she was a young lady, and she couldn't think of breeding.

Until now, for the sake of the future of Bezhuang, she raised horses and cows. Fortunately, the pastures in the space can provide a steady stream of green grass. It is lush and lush throughout the year, so it is not a problem to feed a thousand horses.

Shen Ling currently needs not many horses, so there are not many horses in the space. Instead, there are more cattle.

These horses and cows were obtained by Shen Ling's orders from twenty bandits. There was a blood oath, and Shen Ling was not worried that they would leak out.

It was also because of the blood oath that Shen Ling planned to send twenty bandits back to the county town in a few days, and she was fooling about the grain in the village on the other side of the county town. What really has food is her space. But in order to conceal people's eyes, Shen Ling felt that it was necessary to let them take this trip. Firstly, they could inquire about the latest situation, and secondly, they could exchange some unused items in the space for some money.

After the gangsters left, Guan Shi also returned with a dozen people from Zhuangzi.

They spent a total of ten days in Meishan County in accordance with Shen Ling’s instructions. During this period, some scholars heard that Biezhuang wanted to recruit guests, but only one person was willing to come back with Guan Lu. Luo Mingjingwen.

Shen Ling originally had some hope, but when he saw someone, he was disappointed before he could talk a few words. First of all, when Luo Jingwen saw her, there was a slight look of contempt on his face, and he obviously looked down on the woman. Then Shen Ling asked him to write a policy theory, but he hesitated and refused to write.

Such a person, Shen Ling would naturally not let him stay in the village, and sent him away with a few words.

After this incident, Shen Ling was a bit disappointed, and later felt that the construction of the school should be on the agenda. As a woman, she may not be able to recruit those truly talented counselors in this troubled time in the future. In this case, it is better to cultivate talents by herself.

So, in the spring of the following year, hundreds of young people were recruited in Biezhuang to start building a school. The location of the school is selected in the Biezhuang, at the outermost periphery of the outer courtyard, so that the children of the tenants can go out.

Before the school was built, Shen Ling said that all tenants who rented Biezhuang fields could send their children over five years old and under ten years old to the school. The school not only does not accept repairs, but also provides a free lunch.

After the news spread, more than half of the families were willing to put their children in school. After all, children under ten had limited farm work but a lot of food, and sending them to school could save a meal.
