The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Gu Qinghuai drank the whole bottle and said in a serious tone, "There are 1,000 acres of land here, all of which are private land of my family. I plan to build a farm with enclosures all around it and name it Fenghe Farm, which means "Feng" for good harvest and "He" for harmony."

When Gu Heng heard this, his eyes lit up a bit: "This name sounds nice, it means good harvest and harmony. I will make a plaque and hang it at the entrance of the manor tomorrow."

"It really sounds nice, loud and majestic, and has a good meaning." Qi Yuanshuo naturally would not miss the opportunity to praise Gu Qinghuai.

"Thank you for your hard work, father." Gu Qinghuai smiled at Gu Heng, then turned to the women and said, "Don't think the farm is desolate and simple now. Starting tomorrow, the farm will build blue brick and tile houses. When the houses are built, your living conditions will be greatly improved. The eight hundred captives are the strong laborers of the farm. From now on, your tasks will be to cook for the people working in the farm, do some chores such as sweeping and tidying up, and supervise these northern barbarian captives to open up wasteland and cultivate the land."

Dou'er's eyes widened: "Young Master, we don't need to wash the clothes of the northern barbarian captives, right?"

If they were serving their masters, they would be willing to do any dirty or tiring work, but they were not so kind when it came to treating the northern barbarian captives.

Gu Qinghuai shook his head: "No, you are only responsible for cooking for them, making sure they are well fed and have the strength to work, and they are responsible for doing their own personal chores. In addition, you can also hold a whip in your hand, and if you find someone being lazy and not working well, you can go up and whip them."

After hearing this, the women looked at each other and tried to hold back their laughter.

In the past, they were female animals lying on the ground. The northern barbarians would beat them when they wanted, scold them when they wanted, and abuse them in any way they wanted. They regarded them as even lower than animals.

Now, their identities and status have been reversed.

Those who had bullied them are now in their hands.

The women all felt their palms itching and couldn't wait to pick up the whip.

Gu Qinghuai was worried that the women would retaliate too harshly and kill people, so he reminded them: "No matter how you vent your anger, you can't cripple or kill people. In short, you can't damage their labor force. After all, it's not easy to bring them back from the northern barbarians. My one thousand acres of land depends on them."

The women all understood what Gu Qinghuai meant, which was that the captives could be humiliated, but they could not be prevented from doing their work.

Next door, Zhen'er felt even more regretful when she heard Gu Qinghuai say that the one thousand acres of land belonged to her family.

She didn't expect that this was just a farm, not Mrs. Gu's home. She was too anxious.

However, thinking about having to stay on the farm and cook for people in the future, she suppressed the idea of ​​staying.

Serving these northern barbarians is worse than serving pigs and dogs!

Only old women like Dou'er have no other way out. They are too shortsighted and have no future!

She is still young and pretty. If she is taken good care of for a year or two, she will definitely become more attractive to men.

As long as she could hold on to a rich man, she wouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life. Why would she need to be a maid on a farm?

Gu Qinghuai turned to look at Dou'er and said, "Aunt Dou'er, from now on you will be the person in charge of the manor's internal affairs. Help me manage the servants in the manor."

Dou'er obviously did not expect that Gu Qinghuai would let her be the manager, and she was so shocked that she didn't know what to do.

She had never managed anyone before and was worried that she wouldn't do a good job. She wanted to refuse but felt reluctant.

She is already like mud lying on the ground, stepped on and looked down upon by everyone. Is she only worthy of being mud for the rest of her life?

No, she also wants to be a standing grass and a bright and eye-catching flower.

Dou'er gritted her teeth, pinched her palms hard with her fingers, and finally uttered a few very firm words: "I...I will try my best."

Gu Qinghuai smiled and nodded. "My father will write down all the tasks in the manor and assign them to people. If you have any questions or problems that you can't solve, go to him or Uncle Cui. Observe and think more in daily life, understand what you should do, what you can't do, and how to do it well. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can definitely do this job well."

"Oh!" Dou'er was shaking with excitement.

She was not good-looking, short and thin, and she thought that the young master disliked people like her the most, fearing that she would eat for free but not do any work.

But the young master actually let her hold such a high position!

She...she has made it!

"Oh, there is one more thing," Gu Qinghuai said, "When the new year comes, I will set up a village school in the village. All your children can go there for free. I will use those who are capable in the future."

Hearing this, the women with children all cried with joy.

They were slaves, and their children were also slaves, and the slaves were actually able to read and write.

No wonder Sister Yunnu had been secretly persuading them to hold Madam Gu's thighs tightly. This mistress was really different.

After explaining everything, Gu Qinghuai asked Dou'er to take the women to rest, and left Gu Heng and Cui Laosi behind.

Seeing that only the trustworthy people were left in the room, Gu Heng frowned and lowered his voice and said, "Huai'er, how are we going to arrange so many strong laborers in the future? Looking at so many people, my scalp is tingling and my mind is a mess. Moreover, those people are big gluttons at first glance. They need to eat so much food for one meal. Can our family afford it?"

Gu Qinghuai laughed: "Father, didn't you just learn how to write lowercase numbers? You can write a number on each prisoner, counting from 1. That number is their name. When they go to work and leave work every day, have them line up in numerical order, so that you can count the number of people.

In addition, you can divide the thousand acres of land into many plots according to the characteristics of the farmland, and assign them numbers. Give each prisoner a piece of land to be responsible for, and he will be responsible for that piece of land in the future. Who is diligent and who is lazy can be seen just by the growth of the crops. Those who are diligent and do a good job will be rewarded; those who are sly and lazy will be punished. "

"Oh, my Huai'er is really smart. After you reminded me, my mind suddenly became organized and clear," Gu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Laosi smiled and praised: "Young master is very smart. I know how to help the second master in the future. I can also count."

Gu Qinghuai received two 9999 male admiration points and one 100 million points.

"These captives are nomadic people and they almost never farm. Uncle, you need to hire someone to teach them how to farm," Qi Yuanshuo reminded.

Gu Qinghuai slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot about this. Father, Xiao Shitou is right. I'll leave this matter to you."

"No problem, I have some idea now," Gu Heng said confidently.

Gu Qinghuai smiled and nodded, "Father, there are so many prisoners. If they work one day less, we will waste one day's food. Let them start digging the foundation and pulling bricks tomorrow."

"Well, okay, I bought three more donkeys. Now our family will have four donkey carts. I will use three of them on the farm so that they have more energy to work," Gu Heng squinted his eyes.

Gu Qinghuai understood what her father meant. He wanted her to feed the three newly bought donkeys with strength pills and pet intelligence pills so that they would be as obedient and strong as Gu Buyi.

It’s just to buy a few pills, Gu Qinghuai still has enough points.

Tease the little stone and you will have a million soon.
