After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 150

There are a total of more than two hundred people in Liujia Village. Thirty or forty young and strong men left for recruitment. Qin Yao was not used to the sudden quietness of the small mountain village, which was originally quite lively.

Moreover, there are six fewer workers in the manufacturing plant.

When Liu Carpenter came to the door anxiously, Qin Yao slapped her forehead. She had not thought of this in the past three days, and she only watched how Liu Ji tenaciously prepared for survival.

"What should we do now? With so many people missing, the goods to be delivered in mid-October will be hard to come by. It's less than a month now. You should think of a solution quickly."

Carpenter Liu was also busy helping his son find a laborer for the past two days. Their family needed one person, but they couldn't catch up with the quota of six or two people in Kaiyang County, so they had to pay a high price of ten taels of silver to hire someone to replace them.

Fortunately, he followed Liu Dafu and Old Liu, and the three of them rushed ahead. Those who arrived in the afternoon could not find them at double the price.

But according to Liu Carpenter's idea, if the price really reached twenty taels of silver per piece, he wouldn't mind risking his life and running away.

I can only say that this is fate.

Three thousand civilian men were recruited, divided into three batches and two routes, to **** the grain and grass.

As for the lack of quarry workers on her side, she had no choice but to do it herself.

It's worth going just for a meal if nothing else.

But now that all the people who should be recruited for corvee service have left, it would be meaningless for him to say this again.

First of all, Zijin Mansion has a bumper harvest this year and has sufficient food reserves.

But in the end, he only got one place as a substitute, and there was only one left, so Liu Qi took the initiative to sign up.

Zijing Mansion was chosen for two main reasons.

So, with the encouragement of the two, the five vacant carpenters in the manufacturing plant were quickly recruited.

After the recruitment of civilian laborers, the Liu family's old house will not have much money left from selling grain this year.

Carpenter Liu's side was in a much worse situation, with five workers suddenly missing. Fortunately, Yun Niang was a woman and did not have to do corvée work, so she had this experienced person in the team, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

“Where can we recruit people now? All the men in Zijing Mansion have gone to work as husbandmen. There is still a wave of wheat to be planted before winter comes. How can we recruit people for a group of old, young, women and children?”

Qin Yao is now glad that the polishing staff are still there, at least keeping a complete production line.

　　The civilian husbands recruited from Liujia Village were dispersed as soon as they arrived in Kaiyang County.

Because it is difficult for the family to spend another ten taels of silver to find someone to replace him.

The food stored in the house cannot be used as a last resort, so no matter how hard it is, we have to plant winter wheat and dare not stop at all.

Secondly, Zijin Mansion is very close to the border, so grain and grass can be transported to the border as quickly as possible with the lowest loss.

Sister-in-law Zhou jumped out and asked, "Can I do it too?"

“It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.” Carpenter Liu hurriedly explained: “We have already prepared the wood for you, just follow them and put the pieces together!”

Â with with me's fear of a certain tax coming next year, or the construction of water conservancy and other fortifications that would require corvee labor, and he doesn't have money to buy someone to replace him—} would have to waste a few months of farming to do the corvee.

“Then let's give it a try?” Sister-in-law Zhou asked with a smile along with the women in front of her who were embarrassed to come.

Seeing that the problem was solved and the goods in mid-October could be delivered as scheduled, Qin Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

The village chief is the first person to get the news, so it should not be difficult to reduce the quota by two.

Fortunately, he is tall and has a stable temperament. The village chief asked someone to take care of him, and he should be taken care of by then.

It is too difficult for women to do this work, and the team is all men, and they have to go into the mountains, so they feel uncomfortable working.

He had previously said that they would have a meal of meat and vegetables every ten days. Occasionally, Mrs. Qin would go into the city and bring back a big bone stick to make soup for everyone.

While Qin Yao was busy planting wheat with the villagers, the farmers who set out to transport grain had already left Zijing Mansion.

It was the shortage of manpower in the manufacturing plant that made him angry. The corners of his mouth were blistered, and it hurt when he opened his mouth wider when eating.

Once she saw that the eldest girl in the village and her daughter-in-law were interested, Qin Yao immediately went to bring his sister-in-law He and Yun Niang over and asked them to promote it to the big guys.

Qin Yao asked him to drink two sips of water, thought for a while, and said, "If we can't recruit men, then we can recruit women. It's not a heavy job for us to make waterwheels, and women can do it too."

Having said this, Carpenter Liu was once again glad in his heart that the assembly line Qin Yao built was so good. Everyone only needs to learn one process to get started. Don't be afraid if you suddenly change hands now. You will be familiar with it after two days of practice.

So the two borrowed a gong and beat it all over the village, shouting that they were looking for workers. There were no conditions, as long as they were willing to endure hardships and stand hard work.

She also has one less quarry worker, Liu Qi, the eldest grandson of the village chief's family.

　　The original male workers adjusted their positions and were responsible for the first process, and then left the remaining assembly, painting and other tasks to the female workers. The assembly line finally ran smoothly.

Carpenter Liu spoke in a hurry, and accidentally pulled the corner of his mouth, hissing and sucking in the cold air.

Qin Yao hurriedly pulled her to him, "Okay, of course, sister-in-law, you are so capable, how can you be just a carpenter?"

Previously, everyone was envious of the workers who were selected by the factory, especially Yun Niang. Last month, she took more than three yuan of silver home and her parents-in-law were very happy. They said everywhere that they had married a treasure.

Farmers who depend on the weather for food cannot withstand a little trouble, so they can only take good care of their fields and cultivate them carefully.

Now the opportunity is in front of them. Madam Qin and Carpenter Liu encourage them to join, so give it a try. Anyway, you can't suffer any loss.

No matter how busy you are at home, if you want to make money, you have to find a way to get out.

Qin Yao poured a bowl of cold boiled water for him and herself, and said, "Recruit more people."

　　Winter wheat had to be planted, even if she didn't want to take care of it, and the seeds had to be planted first for free-range farming. At least there would be a harvest.

Every family has problems that are difficult to recite. The village chief's wife, Liu Qi's grandmother, is seriously ill, and all the money from the grain sold during the autumn harvest has been spent on medicine.

When Sister-in-law Zhou heard this, she smiled and rolled her eyes, "You are talking nonsense. How can you be so good? You can only do some embroidery work. I have never touched this kind of carpentry before."

Twenty taels of silver is not easy to earn. Besides, although it is difficult to work as a food transporter this time, it is much better than going to the battlefield to be a soldier. If you are lucky and meet a reliable soldier, you have a high probability of coming back alive.

However, her own work increased. After collecting all the stones needed for the remaining orders, at the urging of Old Man Liu, she picked up the **** and started a new round of plowing the ground.

"Then give it a try?" Carpenter Liu no longer insisted on his previous idea. As long as the goods can be delivered on time, both male and female workers will do the same.

Liu Ji felt that something was not good when he saw this situation. In a hurry, he only had time to put a few copper coins into the hands of the official responsible for escorting them.

But maybe because the money was not available, or because the other party felt that a mere five cents was very provocative, he was assigned to a very ferocious soldier.

Liu Ji had a premonition that the next journey would be very difficult when he met the soldier's eyes when his name was called for the first time.
