Chapter 345 The Stall Is Getting Bigger...
Chapter 345 The stall is getting bigger...
Qingu really guessed right, otherwise why did she feel this feeling from the client's body just after she got the bank note?
Therefore, Qingu's current thinking is: Use this money immediately!
That's right, didn't the client want to be comfortable? The Luo family has no source of income now, and the bank note has been used up again. Let's see if she is in a hurry to come back!
Little Z sensed Qingu's thoughts. In fact, he also felt that this time the shopkeeper really took his heart and soul out of revenge for the two people who hurt the client, and also helped the client restore his reputation, and he also paid for the long-term development of the entire family. A lot of... soul stones.
The shopkeeper didn't make a profit, and he was also poor... So, sometimes you should fight for your own interests.
Since you want to "pick" like this, then they will do everything according to the contract, and the soul stones they should earn by themselves are absolutely unambiguous.
Little Z couldn't help reminding: "The shopkeeper...you have already guessed what the client is thinking. If you really use the money, if she...doesn't plan to return to her body, don't you want to help her?" Did she finish her life?"
Qingu said indifferently: "Is it possible? A cowardly character who only enjoys herself, I can guarantee that when I make the first pot of gold from pioneering, she will come back..."
Besides, Qingu made up his mind never to do business at a loss, otherwise his hut would not be enough to make up for the hole. So she took the bank note, and immediately arranged for the money to be sent out without even returning to the Luo family... She was afraid that an official notification would come from the moment she got home.
Qingu ordered a lot of supplies before, including rice grains, and tools, such as hoes, shovels, hammers, plows, cattle, etc... All of these cost more than one thousand taels of silver.
Then there are women hired one after another... In fact, everyone was very skeptical at first, after all, who would hire women to work.
Only when someone took the lead and got the deposit, could it be confirmed that it was true.
One after another ran to the confession site in Qingu... Some little girls who were only a few or ten years old were also pushed here...
The children of these poor families can basically start to help work when they can walk. If they are boys, they may be able to go to private schools for a period of time. It is impossible for girls to have the opportunity to study.
This is basically the tone of their destiny.
For this kind of children, Qingu did not fail to accept them—they also worked at home, with scantily dressed clothes, and might even be scolded.
And her, in fact, the real idea is: wait until the pioneering is successful (well, it will definitely be successful), and then gradually build a residential area there, open a school, etc., where these children can learn...
This time, Qingu took in more than two hundred women and children at once.
Some onlookers pointed at these emaciated women and children and laughed at Qingu for "people are stupid and have a lot of money".
...Let's gossip less, let's say that Qingu spent more than two thousand taels of silver in one breath, and took out a large sum of money to order various seeds, so there is not much left in his pocket.
Ever since, a breath of regret came from the client's body.
…………
Only when you really want to eat thousands of acres of wasteland in one bite, do you know that this difficulty is not ordinary.
Even if she solves the most difficult problem of digging wells and getting water, the rest still needs to hire labor, and it is a large amount of labor. It is conservatively estimated that at 2,000 acres, at least 200 people are needed to barely cover it.
The women and children employed before accounted for a small half of them aged 8 to 12. These can help sow seeds, but they cannot plow the ground.
So there is still a hundred people short of labor, plus those who dig wells and build shacks, there are nearly 300 people in total!
Three hundred people, including food and housing, ten companions per day for children, and a minimum of twenty copper coins per day for adults, so you need more than twenty taels a day, plus the daily living expenses, you can't do it without forty taels of silver .
After overall planning and calculation, Little Z has analyzed the most suitable crops for the current situation-potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Even if Qingu knew the most convenient planting method, but on such a large scale, the number of seeds needed is still very large.
She intends to use Dapeng to plant, breed sweet potato vines, and then plant them more sparsely than usual...in fact, she wants to take a share.
Qingu is very confident that it will be able to reach the standard of pioneering in this year, and by then, the rest of the people will definitely flock here...
In addition, Qingu also entrusted people to purchase various seeds from other places, which were collected by the farmers themselves.
For example, for the melons, melons, and beans that I grow myself, I will keep some of them as seeds, but there are often many of these seeds.
Qingu collected these and let people sprinkle them all into the overturned land...
The rest is to deliver water every day...
The more than 5,000 taels of silver brought by Qingu were quickly invested, but the seeds and seedlings were only planted in the soil, and it would take at least half a year to find out.
That is to say, Qingu finally spent his money, because he settled the livelihood of some people, and basically earned back the soul stones spent on this mission.
But the problem is that the project is only halfway through now, and it will take at least a few thousand taels to make up for the gap if it is to be maintained until the harvest season.
Now basically a dozen or twenty people live in a temporary tent, and cook in a big iron pot. When eating, everyone squats together to eat...
Although for these women, they can also make money, when they go home to get their first salary, they clearly feel that the whole family treats them differently.
They feel a sense of being... respected, yes, that kind of... "you are important", "you are indispensable in the family" and so on.
So even though farming in this wasteland and living a very difficult life, they never complained, and even worked harder, proving that they were no worse than men.
Qingu is also a woman herself, so she cares about her heart, they all trust her so much, and work so hard, how can she treat them badly? !
So she plans to build a real house here, preferably in the shape of courtyards, with sewers and septic tanks...
Qingu doesn't know much about architecture, but Xiao Z can give her a complete set of architectural layout plans, and only need to pay the price of a few soul stones.
Qingu felt that since this place was to be used as the base of the Luo family in the future, and to be turned into a paradise for people again, the first step should not be sloppy.
Qingu took the blueprints and asked the most experienced workers to make a budget: according to the blueprints, even if local materials are used here, and the mountain is quarried, it will cost at least two thousand taels of silver.
Qingu only has a few hundred taels of silver in hand now, which is used to pay the workers... No matter what, the wages must not be dropped.
Once wages are in arrears, people's hearts will be unstable...Qingu has a deep understanding of this.
In other words, she is not only short of a few months, but also has several thousand taels of infrastructure construction fees, which total tens of thousands of taels of silver...
Where did the tens of thousands of taels of silver come from?
