The village chief was even happier when he heard these words. Selling so much land today not only earned more money for the village. Yuntao would have to hire people to work in the future. Wouldn't that mean that the villagers in the village would have more work and more ways to make a living, and they would not need to go to the town or leave their hometown.

"I want another piece of land in the village. I plan to build a small workshop, but it's better if the workshop is not too far from where I live now, and there should be a water source. Because it will be more convenient to use water. I hope the place is bigger, so that I can do it in one go, and I won't have no place when the time comes. It will be easier for me to manage. Do you think there is a good location in the village?"

The village chief thought for a long time before slowly saying, "There is a location, but it's not adjacent. If you want a larger area, you need to buy a few dry fields and fertile fields in the middle, and the cost is also high. I definitely think it's not very cost-effective, but if you don't buy it, it will be scattered here and there, and it won't be a complete set, and it will be difficult for you to manage it. It will be more troublesome to build a workshop later, and the cost will be higher."

"Village chief, can I buy all these dry fields and fertile lands? Wouldn't it be convenient to build houses in this way?"

this........

The village chief hesitated and didn't say anything, just looking at Yuntao.

"Village Chief, is there anything inconvenient?"

The village chief said embarrassedly: "These fields are already owned by someone else, and now some crops are planted on them."

"Village chief, tell me who this land belongs to. I'll go talk to them and see if I can buy it. If I can't buy it, there's nothing I can do. If I can buy it, it would definitely be the best. Village chief, tell me whose land this is. I'll go talk to them."

The village chief hesitated: "Yuntao, it belongs to my family. All those dry fields and fertile fields are mine."

Now it was Yuntao's turn to be speechless. No wonder the village chief was hesitating and didn't say anything. It seemed that all the family belonged to the village chief.

"Village chief, give me a price and I'll buy it. Then I can hire workers to do the work. The people in the village will become richer, and you, the village chief, will also have a good reputation. And we can negotiate the price."

"Village chief, don't you have several sons and daughters-in-law? In this case, if you don't mind, when I hire people, not everyone in every family can come in. I don't need so many people. One person from your family's field can come in. Three people from the workshop can come in. I have planned it all. The monthly salary is still 600 wen. There are also benefits during the New Year and other festivals. Not only that, I will also arrange benefits for you if you have elderly people and children at home during the many festivals."

"Village chief, what do you think? There are three people in your family. Three people can earn 1800 silver coins a month, and you can work in the village. You don't have to go to the town or carry heavy bags. How comfortable it is."

The more the village chief thought about it, the more excited he became. In a year, that would be more than 20 taels of silver. There were three people in the family, and the rest of the people would do farm work at home. In addition, the land could be sold for some silver, so wouldn't it be 50 taels of silver in total?

Yun Tao looked at the village chief's face and thought to herself, "There's hope."

Yun Tao stared at the village chief blankly without saying anything. The village chief said with determination: "Okay, I can sell it to you, but you have to keep your promise that our family needs three people to work there."

"Don't worry about this. I, Yun Tao, keep my word. But I need the workers in the fields first. I only plan to have five people to work on so many fields."

"Five people, the village chief was shocked. Yun Tao, do you know what you are saying? Are you going to tire them to death?"

"Village head, I have a plan. I plan to manage 10 mu of land by myself for a reason, because I plan to buy some cows. One cow per person, and a cart. And when it comes time to irrigate the land, we don't need people to carry water, we just need to use irrigation technology. You will know this later."

"I've thought about it. If they manage 10 mu of land by themselves, it won't be that tiring at all. I also plan to divide the responsibilities. You manage your 10 mu of land. I manage my 10 mu of land. Everyone manages their own land and doesn't need to manage other lands. This is also to prevent some people from being lazy. As long as they do their own work well or grow the crops well, they don't need to stay in the fields every day."

This is a good idea, and the village chief is very satisfied. There is also such a method, which can prevent some people from being dishonest. This method can be used when hiring people to help in the village in the future.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say. You can give me 40 taels of silver for my dry land and good land. I have five acres of dry land and two acres of good land."

"I will go to the government office tomorrow to complete the formalities for you, and then you can start planting."

The village chief saw Yun Tao leaving and said, "Our Shili Village is going to change. We will become a well-known wealthy village. Who says women are inferior to men? Yun Tao is a woman who can hold up half the sky. She is a heroine."

"Big Cow, Second Cow, Third Cow, mother has a task for you. You must process the potatoes in my house according to the instructions I just demonstrated. Mother plans to plant them. I also bought some potatoes from the village chief and will hire someone to plant them. You don't need to plant them, you just need to manage them from time to time."

"Now the house has been renovated. The east room is where soap is made. You need to take care of the things I have told you to do later."

About ten days later, the land was ready, and potatoes were prepared. The sandy peaches were used to grow peanuts.

The workers were also ready, and they invited the village chief's eldest son, whose nickname was Hu Zi.

There is also the iron pillar at An’s mother’s house.

Zhang Laizi, who lives in the east of the village, has bald spots on his head, but he is good at work, strong and honest. His family is too poor and he is not good-looking, so he has no wife and is still a bachelor. He is also a man of few words.

Mr. Anjie’s army at the west end of the village.

Widow Wang who lived at the west end of the village was also a good worker. She raised three sons on her own. Her husband died early.

After the personnel were confirmed, Yun Tao looked at the five people and said, "I think the village chief has told you which land is mine. I have also clearly divided the work for you to manage which piece of land. The ox cart will be here tomorrow, and you will manage these by yourselves. You will manage your own oxen by yourself. You will not need to carry the strength to plow the land or bring back the grain in the future. It will be much easier for you. You just need to manage your own piece of land. If there is a problem with that piece of land, I will find the corresponding person in charge."

"Is it okay with you five people?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed now, and each of them just cleaned up the snow in front of their own door.

Come to me tomorrow to get the seeds, and take the ox cart back with you.

The next day, when everyone came, they found that the ox cart had arrived. They were overjoyed. They didn't expect that what Yun Tao said was true. If there really was an ox cart, then there would be oxen to plow the land, which would make it much easier for them. There would be a cart to bring back the grain, and there would be no problem with the ox carts passing by in the village. It would also make it much easier for them. This job was easier than they thought.

Everyone started to plant potatoes enthusiastically, working harder and harder. As long as they finished their own one mu and three fen of land, they didn't have to do anything else and could go back to rest early. How wonderful! Such a good thing was chosen by me. The happiest people were Zhang Laizi and Wang Guafu. They earned 600 coins a month, which was several taels of silver in a year. Zhang Laizi could finally marry a wife, and Wang Guafu could also arrange a marriage for her son.
