The female doctor farmed the land, bought a husband and set up a separate household

That afternoon, Jiang Sining harvested dozens of acres of green rice.

Cao Cunzheng was also very "responsible". Although he did not come to guard the place himself, he still sent spies to monitor whether Jiang Sining had given everyone food.

Of course the result disappointed him. Jiang Sining actually did exactly what he had agreed upon, not a single pound less.

Seeing that she could really deliver on her promise, other people in the village also started to think about it and were considering whether to sell the green rice to her. After all, one acre of land was paid 550 kilograms of dry rice, and such a yield would not be possible even in a good year.

In the end, most of the families in the village came, except Cao Cunzheng and the Jiang family. Jiang Sining was very happy about this. If these two families had come as well, she would have been too lazy to refuse.

So early the next morning, the whole village started harvesting ahead of schedule, and bundles of green rice were continuously sent to Jiang Sining's home.

Jiang Sining also asked the village old man Wu to help her find some calves in the market town.

In just three days, almost all the rice in the village had been harvested, and Old Man Wu also bought five calves for her. To express his gratitude, Jiang Sining gave her two hundred kilograms of extra grain when he harvested his green rice.

It was supposed to be a busy season, but unexpectedly, Liuyun Village finished the farm work ahead of time, and the villagers became idle again.

The brick kilns definitely need more people. After all, it will rain heavily soon and this winter will be very cold, so the sooner the brick kilns are built, the better. Not only do we need to build enough brick kilns, but we also need to build many sheds, dig drainage ditches, and store a lot of dry firewood...

We also need to build two small houses for Uncle Zhang to shelter him from the wind and rain, as well as a road leading to the village entrance.

So she recruited some more people, some of whom were assigned to Uncle Zhang and some of whom were assigned to Aunt Li to build the road.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, the brick kiln had taken shape, and the road up the mountain was almost completed.

After the last shed was built that day, Grandpa Zhang asked the workers to go back first and he went to Jiang Sining's house.

"Miss Jiang, there is something that I, an old man, don't know whether I should tell you."

"Master, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"It's this brick kiln," said Grandpa Zhang. "Although I came to your place to open a brick kiln, this place is yours, and the labor for the kiln is also paid by you. If an old man still wants to treat this brick kiln as his own, it would be really unfair. Otherwise, I don't want this brick kiln anymore. Just think of it as asking me to help you make bricks and tiles. I will make as many as you want, whether you use it yourself or sell it, I don't want a penny. Just pay me a little wages every month, Miss Jiang, do you think this is okay?"

Jiang Sining shook his head.

This may seem like you are getting the upper hand, but it won't work in the long run.

"How about this, Uncle Zhang," Jiang Sining said, "from now on you will help me manage the brick kiln, and I will pay you three taels of silver per month."

"3 taels?" Uncle Zhang was surprised. "No, no, that's too much!"

"Master, please listen to me first," Jiang Sining said, "These three taels of silver are your wages for managing this brick kiln. In addition to helping me burn enough blue bricks, you are also responsible for teaching a few apprentices, so you don't have to work yourself in the future. In addition, you will have another 3% of the shares of the brick kiln."

If it was just a simple matter of taking on an apprentice, Uncle Zhang would definitely consider it, after all, teaching an apprentice would be like starving the master to death.

But if Jiang Sining gave him 20% of the shares, the nature of the situation would be different.

That means you are training a disciple for yourself!

"Okay!" said Uncle Zhang, "But how many apprentices do you want me to teach, young lady?"

"Let's teach 5 first, and add more if it's not enough later."

5?

not enough?

Uncle Zhang didn't know what Jiang Sining was going to do. Anyway, when he made bricks in the past, he was the only one who did it, and it was basically enough for the entire Gaochuan County.

"By the way," Jiang Sining said, "the brick kiln needs a few large stone rollers."

Uncle Zhang was even more confused.

This is a brick kiln, not a mill, so what is the use of a stone mill?

Does the mud for making bricks have to be ground into fine powder first?

But since Jiang Sining was the major shareholder, he didn't ask too many questions.

"Okay, I'll go find the stonemason right away."

"It's probably too late to make it now," Jiang Sining said, "It's best to buy ready-made ones."

"Why?" Uncle Zhang asked, "It would cost a lot more to buy this stone mill ready-made."

"Because it's going to rain."

……

boom--

With a muffled thunder, a large number of dark clouds surged over from the horizon.

Jiang Sining stood on the top of the mountain. The strong wind blew her hair into a mess. The surrounding mountains and forests were also swaying violently in the wind. It felt like the whole mountain was shaking along with it.

She had never seen such extreme weather. The dark clouds were like countless heavenly soldiers and generals, rushing over from the horizon.

These are dark clouds that are enough to cover the entire Daxia. I guess such abnormal weather can only occur in the world of novels.

Faced with the impending heavy rain, the people of Liuyun Village did not know the seriousness of the matter and were still secretly happy.

For more than two months, the sun has been shining brightly almost every day, which has made everyone very hot. After this heavy rain, the heat will definitely be reduced a lot.

The only two people who were a little worried were Cao Cunzheng and the Jiang family. After all, they were the only two families in the village whose rice was still in the fields. If it rained too heavily or the wind blew too strongly, a lot of the rice might fall down.

But even though they knew this might happen, there was nothing they could do.

The heavy rain has started to fall, so heavy that people can't even open their eyes in the rain.

And it has been snowing for three days and three nights, and it hasn't let up at all. The dark clouds in the sky are still too thick to melt.

The villagers were not happy now.

Every household was leaking, the house was almost flooded, and even the bed was soaked.

The flood in the mountains rushed down from the original mountain stream, carrying a lot of mud and rocks, like a ferocious dragon, and many people's fields were completely destroyed.

The small river outside the village has now become a big river, and the yellow flood is rushing rapidly downstream.

Fortunately, no one has to worry about the crops in the fields. Looking at the rice fields of Cao Cunzheng and Jiang family being blown to the ground by heavy rain and strong winds, it is estimated that they are completely finished.

If I hadn't sold it to Jiang Sining in the first place, I don't know how anxious I would be now.

"My dear," Si Chenan asked, looking at the heavy rain outside, "did you know that there would be such a heavy rain, so you harvested all the green rice in the village under the pretext of raising cattle?"

"I'm not that great."

Si Chenan understood that his wife was just so powerful, she just refused to admit it.

"I see that many families in the village are no longer able to live there, and several houses have been destroyed by the flood," Si Chenan said, "My wife built a brick kiln in the village, probably for use at this time, right?"

"more or less."

Jiang Sining asked his uncle-in-law to wear a straw raincoat and a big bamboo hat, and called Aunt Li and her family to come home.

"Ning girl, it's raining so hard, is there anything urgent?"

"Uncles and aunts," Jiang Sining said, "I asked you to come here in the heavy rain because there is something very important. Please move."
