Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

I changed the silver into copper coins and went to the village to pay the wages of the 20 people I had called over.

I also told them that they would have to work for a few more months, and if anyone was willing to go, they could arrange their family affairs in advance.

The two sons of the clan leader's grandfather and Uncle Li immediately expressed their willingness to go. Xiu'er also supported them, saying that it was family matters and they didn't need to worry about them. It was more important to go and do things. She once again said that if there was something suitable, she must be called. I nodded and told Xiu'er that it was not possible for the time being, but if there was something suitable, I would definitely call her after a while.

The village head asked his two sons to go with me, and decided to stay at home to do the spring ploughing. In ancient times, this was a very important thing. The fields represented one's roots. As for the others, some decided to go again if they could afford to go, while others decided to wait for a while. Some people didn't go last time, but some didn't have time to go this time, so they joined in. In the final count, there were three more people.

After thinking about it, it’s okay to have three more people go. It can basically be arranged. They are not very important technical jobs, and the impact of having more or less people will not be that big.

In fact, people are not bad, it’s just that the conditions are like this. After all, it is not easy to survive in this era.

After paying the wages and confirming the number of people who will start work tomorrow, I made an agreement with them that they would go to the place where they waited for me last time tomorrow and not go about their own housework.

I went to see Grandma Wang as usual. One of Grandma Wang's sons was also in the last construction team. This time, because he is the only son in the family, he decided not to go there for the time being. But he hopes to be busy at home for a few days before continuing. I thought about it and told him that if there is anything else and if anyone is needed, I will call him first.

After leaving Grandma Wang's house, I turned a corner and came to my little thatched house. I saw that some parts of the thatched house were blown away by the wind, so I started to tidy it up.

The vegetables in the field have started to grow weeds, so I roughly pulled some off. Then I went to the Gastrodia elata field, where the Gastrodia elata is growing very well, and the sweet potato vines have covered the land. After a while, it will be time to loosen the vines and prune the branches. It seems that I need to take some time to come back and prune these, so as not to waste the crops.

The next day, the villagers came very early and when I arrived, they had been waiting there for so long.

The Jiangchuan family's manor is even bigger. I heard it was a general's villa in the capital. The whole garden looks grand and vast. The construction materials were directly transported to the back mountain, bypassing the garden.

Brother He and I marked out the route to be constructed, and told those who had worked on it before and those who had just arrived to start work right away.

Some of the people who joined later encountered problems they didn't understand. The two sons of the clan leader and Uncle Li would enthusiastically teach them where to start, how to save effort, and how to do it better, which made it easier for me. The more I got used to it, the faster the project progressed. It used to take ten days to complete, but now it only takes seven or eight days.

The designs of other places are similar, but the general's yard may be used for daily exercise and martial arts practice, so it looks relatively empty, and it doesn't look good when the sink comes over. I designed two more troughs on both sides of the main sink, filled them with soil, and planted some spider plants. When the water flows over the small holes, the water will flow down to water the plants. Then I told Jiangchuan that next year, when the spider plants grow up, they will be pushed into strands to form a door, which will become another landscape. Jiangchuan was very satisfied with what he heard, and he became interested in what we did. The consequence of being interested is that he comes to join in the fun from time to time, and asks a few questions when he doesn't understand, without any airs of a child of an official. Every day, he performs the jokes of the curious baby, such as:

Why are you not a man from the Dalang family?

Dalang, are you sure you are a woman?

Dalang, what are you thinking?

After we got to know each other well, I was too lazy to treat him as a young master. He was also happy to follow me around, running around happily. He was so peaceful that it was not annoying.

The days passed in a busy and ordinary way. When it was time for the monthly break, Dabao and Xiaobao were sent back to pull weeds for three days and loosen the soil for a few days. A few months later, the several manors near Jiangchuan's home were all transformed.

With Jiang Chuan, the son of the general, the other sons did not complain. Some of them were slightly dissatisfied and made some changes. Jiang Chuan said a few words on the side. They all paid the silver happily, and under Jiang Chuan's explicit and implicit advice, each of them gave a little reward silver. Mr. Jiang, you are really my God of Wealth!

After settling the bill, I finally had nearly 400 taels of silver in my hands. I no longer had to worry about food and clothing. It was not easy at all.
