A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince
Chapter 31 Siyu brings people home
The villagers picked up stones and tried to throw them, but seeing the carriage approaching, they didn't dare approach, staying far away because they knew they couldn't afford to pay for it. So no one dared approach. Siyu and the others drove the carriage to Robert's house. From inside, they heard coughing and heard a gentle voice pleading with Mrs. Luo, "Mrs. Luo, drink this soup! It'll make you feel better." Robert rushed in, seeing his wife's face flushed with coughing, and felt deeply distressed. He begged Siyu for help. Siyu took his pulse, examined his eyes, and inquired about the cough. She confirmed it was just a lung infection and rheumatism from years of hard work. Hiding under her sleeve, Siyu pulled a pill from her space. Robert brought water and gave it to Mrs. Luo. A moment later, Mrs. Luo felt much lighter. Siyu told Robert that one pill would cure his wife, and that it was precious. He would be well in two days. He should eat more nutritious food. It would be best to move away from this fishing village, because the humidity from the seaside will cause severe rheumatism and paralysis in the future. Robert and Lorena were in a dilemma. If they could move away from here, where could they move to? They couldn't even afford the medicine. Aunt Tan was a shrewd person. After seeing Siyu's words and deeds, she felt that this girl was not simple. The young man next to her was also dignified and well-spoken. He was definitely not a simple person. So she advised Robert and the others not to think about it and let this lady take you in. Work to pay off the debt. Siyu said, "Okay, I have 500 acres of newly reclaimed wasteland. You can help me take care of these 500 acres of wasteland. I will give you 5 taels of silver a year, but you have to sign a contract. You don't have to sell yourself, just a long-term labor contract." Robert agreed as soon as he heard it and did not want to buy his body. 5 taels a year, with food and shelter, it was really great. Siyu looked back at Aunt Tan and asked her what she would do now that her family had left. Auntie Tan said, I have no relatives here, no children, and I watched Lina grow up. Now they are all gone. Siyu said, Auntie, I heard that you used to be a nanny in a wealthy family. It just so happens that I have a younger sister at home who is 5 years old this year. I want her to learn some etiquette, rules, needlework, and housekeeping. Then can you ask Auntie Tan to follow me to teach my younger sister? Auntie Tan can live in my house in her old age. My family is simple and there won’t be any bad things. Auntie Tan said, let me think about it and give you an answer later. You can help Lao Luo’s family clean up first! Siyu looked at Auntie Tan’s lonely back and walked back home. Close the door.
As for Feng Mojun, after two days of travel, Prime Minister Fang had already received news and dispatched secret guards to assassinate him. Prime Minister Fang commented that the emperor's trust in him over the years had cultivated his network of connections and influence. He specifically targeted those who disobeyed him. While appearing to care for his people and his son, Prime Minister Fang harbored sinister intentions. That evening, Feng Mojun reached a small grove, wary of the quietness. His followers, Ah San and Ah Si, called out, "Master." Feng Mojun hushed, and all three fell silent. One leaped up a ten-meter-high tree and hid, listening to the voices below. "Ah, my lord, truly so cautious! He's gone undetected for all these years. Now, my lord's influence encompasses nearly half of the imperial court, and they're all my lord's men. What's there to be afraid of? This court will sooner or later belong to my lord."
Now let's talk about Siyu.
When several people got on the car, Nanny Tan also came out of the house. She got on the carriage. Several female relatives got into the carriage, while Zhou Tingxuan and Robert sat outside the carriage. On the way back to the city, Zhou Tingxuan thought, this girl wants to ask the nanny for advice, why doesn't she come to me? The female officials in the palace are no better than this one, and there are also female teachers, why didn't she tell me. Siyu looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the car, each weighing 300 kilograms. Zhou Tingxuan asked Siyu if these are really high-yield grains? If the yield is high, why didn't Robert grow it? Now it's still so little. Siyu secretly criticized the current level of farming and high-yield commodities.
A few of them drove to the county and bought 1000 kilograms of soybeans, asking the second brother to send them back. Siyu then rushed to the cloth shop and bought cloth for the people on the carriage, so that they could make their own clothes. When they returned home, Bai Qingyuan and Lan Niang were surprised to see the carriage. When they saw three people getting off, they quickly pulled Siyu aside and asked her what was going on. Siyu said, "The older one is Nanny Tan, and the family of three is Robert, his wife, and his daughter, Lolina." Siyu told her mother, "Don't be afraid, they are from the country across the street. I bought some new, high-yield grain seeds from him. They just didn't have anywhere else to go, so I signed a long-term labor contract with him and asked him to come here to plant crops for us. He will be responsible for managing the wasteland in the future." Once the house is built, let Dad and my brother take the imperial examinations. Mom will take care of the stuffed dolls. You won't have to do it yourself anymore. Find more aunts and uncles. We sold the bean sprouts today, and so did our wood ear mushrooms. I'm planning to buy 5000 jin of wood ear mushrooms. I'll talk to the clan leader and the village head later to have everyone in the village go up the mountain to collect them in May. Let Dad take them there and teach them how to identify them. We'll collect them after they've dried them, and we'll collect the clean ones for 30 wen per jin. Dad can also tell my second uncle and the others to come along and collect some. I'll have my uncle take some when he sells them, and we'll pay them when he sells them. Dad replied, "Okay, I'll let your uncle know tomorrow."
Siyu discussed her plan to build a workshop with her family. Grandpa said, "Siyu, you're quite capable, but are you still willing to pay me? There are already seventy or eighty people who need daily wages and food." Siyu said it was enough to support her. And there was income every day. "It's going to get better and better."
So Siyu went to the village head and said, "I want to buy the vacant land outside my homestead and build a farmhouse. I want to produce braised food, dolls, bean sprouts, and wood ear mushrooms." The village head said, "Aren't you already building a house? You still need to build more houses. Why build so many?" So Siyu talked to the village head.
Ayu and Ahuan went to call the village chief and clan leader. The two brothers went to call the clan leader and the village grandfather. Siyu told the village chief that he had signed two contracts with Yuehualou. One was for the purchase of black fungus, starting in May. There was no rush. The other was for bean sprouts, with a daily production of 500 kilograms. From now on, they would continue to hire people.
Find 40 people to speed up the construction and build four rows of factory buildings. Siyu told the construction team to build the factory building first. Siyu gave the factory building drawings to Mr. Sun and told him to build the factory building first. More than 100 people can complete it in 3 days.
Siyu continued making arrangements, telling the gathered villagers that he would hire a few people to grow and deliver bean sprouts daily. Then, he would start harvesting wood ear mushrooms. He would have the villagers forage in the mountains, dry them, and sell them to him. "No one knows what wood ear mushrooms are," he said. "I'll have my father tell you what they look like. Everyone should wait until late April or May to find them in the mountains." Wood ear mushrooms are a seasonal food, so everyone can pick as many as they can and dry them in the sun for 30 wen per pound. He would also hire skilled and efficient people to make puppets. The villagers asked Siyu why he needed so many people for so many tasks, and they looked at him with suspicion. "Do you have the money to pay them?" he asked. "Building a factory and collecting supplies?" Siyu replied, "Please don't argue with me about this factory. It's managed by the village head, the clan leader, and my mother—four people—who will manage it. Once production is up and running, my father and brother will go to school." "So I hope our lives will improve in the future."
We have four production lines here, and every year we take out 10% of the income from these four production lines and give it to the clan, as a way of repaying the clan members for taking care of my family.
Siyu continued, "Our four production lines are braised meat, bean sprouts, rag dolls, and wood ear mushrooms, and each requires ten people. For the braised meat production line, five men wash the goods, earning 800 wen per month. Women do the braising. The villagers asked why men and women work together!" Siyu explained that sometimes physical labor is needed. Men are asked to do things that women can't lift. Women do delicate work like washing and rinsing. The bean sprout production line also requires the cooperation of both men and women. Fortunately, the separation between men and women in the Yulong Dynasty is not too strict. Farmers sometimes work together on the farm. The rag dolls need to be well embroidered, and all women are required. We will recruit ten people first, and then recruit more if the embroidery is good. So don't be too happy if you're selected, and don't be discouraged if you're not selected. Everyone has a chance."
Now, let's talk about the harvested wood ear mushrooms, which need to be sorted, packaged, and stored. Four more people need to be hired for delivery. Siyu explained that these 40-plus workers are factory employees and must sign a confidentiality agreement and a contract with employees. If anyone leaks the secret recipe, they'll be compensated tenfold. As for the pay, it's 800 wen per month, which is not bad! They get four days off, meaning they work six days and get one day off. They also get benefits during festivals, and a year-end bonus for good performance. The villagers started clamoring again, asking what benefits are, what the "ox year-end bonus" is, and if they work six days and get one day off, four days off a month, will their wages be deducted? Siyu looked at the noisy villagers, calmed them, and said, "Listen, folks, benefits are holiday gifts, and year-end bonuses are cash or food and supplies given for good performance throughout the year without cheating or cheating. Four days off a month means they work six days and get one day off. We'll have a work schedule from now on." I also hope that the over 40 selected workers will do their best. Next, the villagers can go to the village head, clan leader, and village chief to register.
