Chapter 243 Rumors 4
After solving all these messy and annoying things and doing a big cleanup in the house, I finally feel clean from people to things.
The gate of the wall. Instruct Old Man Zhang to lock it if necessary. Anyone who comes must wait until the people in the house agree to let them in. If they can come and go at will, then he can also leave with the Yellow Tooth Man.
This scared old man Zhang. He said that those people could come and go freely before because Xiao Jiadalang brought them in or agreed to it. He said that such a thing would never happen again.
I nodded to show that I understood, and told him that because of this, I gave him another chance. But there won't be a next time.
Beat up old man Zhang. I, Zhang Cai, will take a few people to carefully check the clay and limestone area on the back mountain to see how wide it is. Come back and tell me after you have checked it.
Zhang Cai and his two brothers each took two people, carried backpacks and knives, called Chuqi and set off.
I also brought Zi Su to the embroidery room and started to check on the things in the embroidery room. I also asked Zi Su to accompany her mother and stay at her mother's place at night, or she could stay in my yard.
Zi Su's mother, Zhang, was a very good embroiderer. Since Su Chen brought him to the embroidery workshop, his food and lodging were guaranteed. He basically never went out.
When people in the embroidery room were in a state of confusion, she did not hesitate to follow Liu Niang to stay up late to embroider. She helped to finish the work and left a very good impression on Liu Niang.
Moreover, Liu Niang personally led the apricot blossoms from the beginning, and Cao'er and her group of girls are now getting better and better. On the contrary, those who were sold by me were all very impetuous.
I asked if the loss of these people would affect the business of the embroidery workshop and whether we should buy more.
Liu Niang said that she would wait until the right time to buy, and it would be hard for a while, but she could hold on. If she bought some more messy people, she would be even more annoyed.
Xiaojiu understood from the side that there were few people in the embroidery room. So she secretly sent the letter that night. As a result, two days later, my second brother Yunyi sent me a few embroiderers from other places.
It touched my heart deeply.
The matter of the embroidery room was completely resolved because of the involvement of these people.
When it was almost dark, Zhang Cai and his companions finally returned accompanied by Chuqi.
From their description, these two things should be enough to support the completion of the granary. I asked Xiaoshi to pass the data to Jiangchuan through the channel of Hidden Sword Villa.
Four days later at dusk, the team sent by Jiangchuan to transport the things arrived.
Fortunately, there are many empty houses now, so these people can move into the empty houses directly and rest for one night. In the future, these houses will be used as temporary residences for them.
After a night's rest, the team loaded up with limestone and clay and left the next day.
But I think this speed is too slow. So I asked them to take a letter to Jiangchuan. Can we gather some private teams? How much money should we pay them per truck? And we can also outsource the materials here to others. In this way, materials can be transported every day.
The sweet potatoes were fully ripe. The convoy that was fetching materials had just left, and the second convoy had not yet arrived. I followed the emperor's request and asked the people in the house to dig up all the sweet potatoes as soon as possible and sell them to the government at the price of seeds.
A preservation method is also included.
I only kept a few thousand kilograms of good ones and a few hundred kilograms of rotten ones. One was to use them as seeds, and the other was to have something to eat. After digging the sweet potatoes, I cleared the land and planted another acre of vegetables.
I used the remaining land to grow wheat.
There is strength in numbers. The wheat in the sweet potato field has been planted, but the convoy has not returned yet.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Cai and Erniu took the opportunity to clear the Gastrodia elata in the field, dry the big ones, and plant the small ones. This was my first way to make money. I want to keep it well.
I'll have a chance to see if I can consider planting more in a farm! Since ancient times, growing medicinal herbs has been more profitable than growing other grains and vegetables.
However, the seeds are still a little scarce now, so it is impossible to develop and plant them on a large scale.
After another day of waiting, the delivery team to Weibei finally arrived, bringing with it a letter from Jiangchuan.
Jiang Chuan said in the letter that my idea was very good and asked me to see if I could form a team according to my own ideas.
Along with the letter came a silver note for 1,000 taels, saying it was for expenses.
I love this, so many people are staying and eating here. It costs money.
I had no idea that in the village, because these convoys were coming from my place, dragging out truckloads of stuff, everyone thought it was the old lady of Hidden Sword Villa coming to collect the debt.
Some were gloating over the misfortune, some were worried, and some were anxious. All of a sudden, rumors spread all over the village, distorting the story beyond all recognition.
