Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Of course, the contract was not written by Luo Xiaoran herself. She was not yet proficient in using the brush and could not write complete characters.

The characters that Luo Xiaoran wrote now all had relatively simple strokes, but the shapes of the characters made Luo Xingchen hesitate to speak.

So the depressed Luo Xiaoran captured Du Kongqing's able-bodied men.

Du Kongqing studied medicine, read medical books, and even wanted to go out alone to see patients and prescribe medicine, so he must be able to write.

Facts have proved that there is still a big difference between the handwriting of ancient doctors and modern doctors.

Du Kongqing's handwriting is very beautiful.

Although Luo Xiaoran doesn't understand calligraphy, she doesn't know seal, clerical, regular, running and cursive scripts.

But it is no exaggeration to say that Du Kongqing's handwriting looks like it was carved, the kind that can add extra marks to the college entrance examination papers.

Luo Xiaoran once again sighed that she had found a treasure.

Although, to be honest, it was the treasure girl Du Kongqing who came to the door herself.

"Xiao Ran, this is Xiaozhuan, all women in Daliang use this font."

The semi-illiterate Luo Xiaoran smiled and nodded: I must practice writing as soon as possible, and try not to write too ugly.

The entire content of the contract was dictated by Luo Xiaoran and written by Du Kongqing.

The general idea is to let these thirty people remain as before, with two people in a group responsible for one acre of land and supervising each other.

This is also because they have farm work to do at home, and two people per acre will not consume too much of their energy and time.

From today on, these thirty people will be her hired farmers.

Luo Xiaoran is now considered a small landlord.

However, the relationship between her and these thirty people was not that of landlord and hired farmhands in the traditional sense. These thirty people were more like temporary workers.

They are responsible for the sowing and harvesting of grain every year, as well as the weeding and pest control in between.

In the end, all the harvest belongs to Luo Xiaoran, and Luo Xiaoran has to pay wages to the hired farmers.

Although hired farmers do not work for long periods of time, as long as they sign a long-term contract, it is a constraint on them.

Taking into account the amount of work and working hours, the final daily wage was decided to be about twenty-five cents.

Working dates and working days are scheduled and supervised by Niu Shubao.

Wages are paid after each harvest and new seeds are sown.

As the leader, Niu Shubao did more work, so his wages were naturally distributed according to his work, which was more than that of ordinary hired farmers.

The soil varies in fertility, so the harvests will definitely vary. Luo Xiaoran accepted it all.

However, when the grain yield is too low, Luo Xiaoran will consider whether the person in charge of that piece of land is responsible and whether he should be replaced.

After signing the contract, Niu Shubao gathered everyone together.

As the host, Luo Xiaoran had to make a speech:

“After signing the contract, we became partners.

Don't worry, I'm not a harsh boss. As long as you complete your work conscientiously, I will pay you your wages without any deduction."

Luo Xiaoran asked Niu Shubao to come forward and face everyone:

“I will discuss the wheat sowing with Niu Shubao later. Everyone should listen to his instructions and do what needs to be done. Don’t delay or be perfunctory.

It is not necessary for 30 people to act together. If someone has something to do, they can explain the situation to Uncle Niu and stagger the time. As long as the work is completed within the specified time, it is fine. "

……

After everyone dispersed, Luo Xiaoran asked Niu Shubao about the wheat seeds: "Does anyone in the village have extra wheat seeds to sell to me?"

Niu Shubao thought about it and answered truthfully:

“The wheat seeds were saved from last year.

The military households had to hand over all their harvest except for food rations and seeds, so they certainly did not have any extra seeds.

Farmers usually keep some food and seeds for themselves, and sell the rest for cash.

Maybe only a few people have extra wheat. I'll go ask around."

Luo Xiaoran nodded:

"Ask around the villages and make sure to prepare the wheat seeds so they can be planted in the next few days.

In addition, when the corn is harvested in the village, you can help me buy some corn seeds for planting next year."

"Boss, I understand."

"Also, look for some soybean, mung bean, and millet seeds. Also, the seeds of vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees that are commonly used in the village. Please keep an eye out for them for me."

Niu Shubao suddenly felt that Luo Xiaoran didn't look like a poor young lady who had fled from famine.

A young lady from an ordinary family, who has never been involved in housework, how would she know so many things about the farm work?

But the whole demeanor of the Luo siblings is not something that ordinary people can pretend to have. There is no girl or boy in their village who is prettier than the Luo siblings.

What a strange lady.

However, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask.

He looks silly when he smiles, but he is not really stupid.

Luo Xiaoran's arrival brought job opportunities to the villagers. Many people no longer needed to get up early and go to the city to do odd jobs. He was so happy that he couldn't contain himself!

"Boss, I understand."

"If there is anything you don't understand, please communicate with me immediately.

Kong Qing is my assistant. You will have many interactions at work in the future. I hope you won’t avoid her like others do.”

Luo Xiaoran pointed at Du Kongqing and gave instructions to Niu Shubao.

"Master, I understand."

Luo Xiaoran:······

"Know", "understand", "know", Niu Shubao's language is a bit lacking, I hope he can do what I'm told.

Du Kongqing saw Luo Xiaoran speaking for him, and took the lead in greeting Niu Shubao:

"Brother Niu, let's work together for the boss in the future."

Brother Niu——Luo Xiaoran felt like she had traveled to the filming set of “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber”.

The simple name used by Master Zhang at that time is reproduced here.

Niu Shubao's face flushed immediately, and he looked very uncomfortable: "Kong Qing, I..."

"We don't need to worry about the past. Now we are getting paid by our employer and we have to live up to his trust. We just need to do our employer's job well. Nothing else matters." Du Kongqing continued.

Niu Shubao quickly said "OK."

Then he hurriedly asked for his resignation from Luo Xiaoran and went to look for wheat seeds.

Luo Xingchen pulled Luo Xiaoran's sleeve, his eyes moving back and forth between Du Kongqing and Niu Shubao.

The way he watched the fun was exactly the same as Luo Xiaoran's.

The two looked at each other and expressed the same meaning:

Du Kongqing and Niu Shubao knew each other and had a certain friendship.

After Niu Shubao left, facing the two gossipy faces, one big and one small, Du Kongqing pretended to explain in a relaxed manner:

"Grandpa Niu is one of the few people in the village who does not discriminate against military households. Under his influence, the farmers and military households in Hexi Village get along quite well.

In the early years, Grandpa Niu was in poor health and my father took him to see a doctor several times.

At that time, it was Brother Niu who brought his grandfather here, so our family and Grandpa Niu’s family are quite familiar with each other.”

Grandpa Niu - this time he was transported to "Big Ear Tutu".

The Luo siblings did not respond. Instead, their four big eyes stared at Du Kongqing, meaning that they wanted her to continue.
