After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

◎Recruited some village men to work. ◎

The next day, early in the morning, Gu Zeyu was eating breakfast, and there was a lot of noise outside the house. He heard men and grandma and aunts. He didn't know what was going on, so he put down his chopsticks and hurried out to have a look.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of the door. He glanced at it and had an idea in his mind. When he saw the village chief, he asked, "Village chief, have you found a man? That's it."

The village chief smiled and nodded, "Yes, these are the people I found for you." Then he touched his head helplessly and said, "Well, when I said you were looking for someone to help with the work, they all said they would What to do for you, Zeyu boy, you are quite welcome."

Then he coughed twice, glanced carefully at Gu Zeyu and said, "I said you only need ten people, and you can't recruit that many. If they don't listen, everyone who wants to work will gather at your door."

Gu Zeyu thought for a while, and it was useless for him to recruit so many people. He still followed the original standard, so he looked at the villagers and said, "Uncles, I already know why you are here, but I really can't recruit so many people this time." People, why don't you discuss it, if you want to work in my field, one person from the family, it's fairer."

The men below have their own thoughts. Most of them have more than one strong laborer in their families. Although some want father and son or brothers to go to Gu Zeyu's house to work together, but looking at the situation, they know that it is impossible. Now, It's good to get a spot.

So someone agreed: "This idea is good, let's do it like this."

But some people were not convinced and said: "The three of us are all strong and work very neatly. They are much stronger than the old and weak ones. Just because we are a family, we can only let one person go. How unfair."

His name is Gu Dazhuang, he is the eldest brother of the family, and he has two younger brothers, Er Zhuang and San Zhuang. As he spoke, he looked fiercely at the old man beside him. He was his neighbor, and he came here today to work in Gu's field Live.

Seeing this, Gu Zeyu said to the big guys: "I know, this method is actually not very fair. I also want to take care of those who have difficulties at home. I hope the villagers can understand."

He has a sincere attitude and clear eyes. When he looks at him like this, some people feel ashamed and slowly hide in the crowd.

However, Gu Dazhuang, who had just expressed his dissatisfaction at the beginning, still had a bad complexion, and his eyes were not angry.

He also muttered in a low voice: "Jing knows to say some big things, how can you recruit people like you, and push out strong and capable men."

Gu Dazhuang thought he was very quiet, but who was Gu Zeyu, his ears were trained to be sensitive and alert, so he heard it naturally.

Gu Zeyu stood on the high ground in front of the door and glanced at him. His deep black eyes looked at him coldly. Although he didn't speak, he obviously heard him, so he warned him.

"That's what I think. If someone disagrees, I can't help it. Let me ask again. Folks here, if you want to work in my field, each family will send one person. Do you agree with this idea?"

The villagers on the opposite side talked a lot, and after whispering to each other, most of them nodded.

"Just one from each family, don't be greedy."

"I heard that Kid Zeyu brought back a dozen men yesterday, so there are fewer talents to recruit."

"It's enough to have a job. Zeyu is a kind kid. The rest of the family can go to the town to find other jobs, and they can earn dozens of dollars."

Gu Zeyu was quite satisfied. Most of the villagers were honest and honest. Even if they were not satisfied, they didn't make a fuss.

Finally, he said: "It's getting late, so those who want to work please step forward. Let me count how many people there are."

In the end there were 12 people.

Gu Zeyu felt that this number was not bad, and adding the dozen or so men from yesterday, there were 25 people.

Then let them go home to eat and eat. After eating, they take tools, such as shovels and baskets, and go to the field to wait.

He will join them in the field in a moment.

People with good deeds asked, "Why don't you go together, we are quite close, and there are many people and it's lively."

Gu Zeyu smiled: "Isn't it because you led me out of the house as soon as I had a bite of food, and I have to go home to eat and feed the livestock, so it will take a while."

That said, it's more smoky.

Everyone said that they would not bother him for dinner, so they went home to find tools, and then went to the ground to have a look.

Soon the crowd dispersed, and the village chief was the last to leave, and he said to him: "Fortunately, you have solved it well, if you behave softly and still can't come up with a solution, the villagers will not let it go Yes, this person cares about his own interests."

He sighed and walked slowly towards his house.

-

Gu Zeyu also knew that what the village chief said made sense.

In fact, he didn't think too much about it. There will always be a solution. He won't let people bully him. It may be that he is too friendly in front of the villagers, which makes people look down on him and think he is nothing special, no Just a veteran?

But in fact, he thinks that his hometown always makes people feel a little soft, even if the village where he was raised may not be so good, the folk customs are tough, and most of them are feudal and superstitious, but so what?

After all, it is the place where his soul returns.

He wants to slowly change the village, perhaps what he needs most is education. Under the spur of education, people will not be ignorant.

But even if you really invite your master to set up a school in the village, the villagers don't have the money to pay for it.

So now he wants to use some methods to make the villagers rich, and then the first rich will lead to the later rich.

At least the whole village has nothing to worry about eating and drinking, and they can buy some meat for a few days to make tooth sacrifices and get some meat.

At present, the only way to do it is to try the method by yourself and experiment with yourself. If the planting of crops is successful this time, then call on the villagers who want to get rid of poverty to follow the path he has walked.

If he doesn't want to, there is a way. Next year, he will plant a little wheat, and the rest of the land will be planted with new crops. He can open a factory and ask the villagers to work and give them a job.

As for what kind of factory, Gu Zeyu, who likes to eat all kinds of noodles, has already thought about it, sweet potato flour, potato flour, they are all delicious.

Especially the vermicelli that is often eaten in winter, the vermicelli made from sweet potatoes, put some cabbage tofu and add a little crispy meat, even if it is stewed randomly, it is also very delicious.

Eating a bowl in the morning will satisfy your stomach and give you a great energy.

Although he was thinking about this matter in his heart, he never idled for a moment. He finished the rest of the cold rice in a few mouthfuls, fed the livestock, and then took the tools and went to the field non-stop.

Today, two groups of people work together. If they meet, there may be conflicts. He has to greet them.

When Gu Zeyu arrived in the field, it was already late. The dozen or so men had already worked for a day yesterday, so they knew the regulations, and this time they took the tools and started working.

As for the twelve men in the village that I just found today, some of them worked together and learned a little bit, while others hid in the shade of the trees, waiting for Gu Zeyu to come and his arrangement.

Gu Zeyu was not angry when he saw this scene.

It's just that they called all the big guys over, praised the nearly twenty men who were working hard in the ground, and then asked them to work hard.

Still, he said in a friendly voice: "Feng Zihao, you have all worked for a day, and you must be familiar with the process. Just teach the new guy. You have to pay attention to it. I will check it when I come back."

Feng Zihao and his group nodded, and said, "That's no problem. I think there are some guys who have learned it very well. Their movements are very good, and they can dig melon seedlings quickly."

Then Gu Zeyu changed his attitude and looked down at the five or six men hiding in the shade of the trees. He saw acquaintances there, but he still said sternly: "Since you haven't started working in the field yet , then follow me to the mountain, I just brought tools, let's cut some trees, I'm going to build a shed in the ground, so I can rest well."

Those men were not too convinced.

A cunning man said, "We are here to do the field work for you, and we want to be like them. It's not fair to us if you do this."

As he spoke, he pointed to the man on the opposite side, some villagers who came up, and some retired soldiers who came to work yesterday.

Hearing his angry tone, Gu Zeyu's eyes sharpened, his dark eyes looked at them coldly, with an imposing manner.

The man felt as if he was being targeted by some ferocious large beast, took a step back, but still said stubbornly: "We are from a village, don't favor outsiders, or I will go to the village chief and say Go and see if you can still gain a foothold in the village."

He felt that Gu Zeyu was just a young man after all, his parents were gone, only his uncle's family was his relatives, and the population was small, so he was easy to bully.

Gu Zeyu hooked his lips and laughed lightly, but no matter how it sounded, it was ironic.

"That's fine, you go and sue, see if I can gain a foothold in the village, see if the village chief will reprimand you or trouble me! Since you don't want to do it, then don't work for me, go home, Anyway, I have plenty of money, and I worry about not being able to hire people to work."

"There is only so much wood to build a shed. Hurry up and get enough wood in a day. One of the important things I have to do today is to cut down trees and build a shed. Don't worry about planting fruit seedlings." Glance at him to see his choice.

That man was a hypocrite, seeing Gu Zeyu's tough aura, he didn't dare to confront him head-on, but in the end he was irritated by Gu Zeyu's last disdainful eyes, thinking that he looked down on him.

That's right, he is almost 20 years old, and he hasn't married a wife yet, not only because his family is poor, but also because he doesn't work hard. He always spends three days fishing and two days drying the net, so how can there be a little lady? , my little brother can like him.

But he will not reflect on himself, and work hard after recognizing his shortcomings.

But feel that other people's vision is not good.

Just like at this time, he was so angry that he was poked into the darkest place in his heart, and finally left angrily, saying: "Don't be complacent, I'm going to publicize your deeds in the village, favor outsiders, don't To the villagers."

Seeing him leaving, the five people with him looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling uneasy.

Gu Zeyu didn't care about that person, but asked them calmly: "Do you guys want to go with him too? I won't stop."

The five people shook their heads repeatedly, joking, they came here to work and earn money, how could they give up this job at will, and the family is still waiting to earn money and have a good meal.

Gu Zeyu nodded in satisfaction, then told Feng Zihao and the others a few words, and then took the five of them to the mountain.

When he went up the mountain earlier, he noticed where there were trees suitable for building a house. Although he had to go a little further, he was not afraid.

Before entering the forest, Gu Zeyu gave them a few machetes to use for self-defense, so that they could deal with any wild beasts in case they encountered.

The trees are lush and tall, covering some of the sunlight faintly, and the sunlight that shines through the leaves and trunks is actually very little, so the woods seem quiet, only the chirping of some birds can be heard, which is very crisp, and there are some small animals, making noises from time to time.

However, it is enough original ecology, Gu Zeyu walks in the mountains and forests as if walking on flat ground, his body is as light as a swallow, effortless.

After a while, a large part of the people behind fell behind.

In the end, they said they were tired and told Gu Zeyu to slow down, so they slowed down.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, we arrived at the place Gu Zeyu was looking for.

He stopped, then looked at these thick and big trees, nodded, touched their bark, looked at the roots and crowns, and felt that they were the kind of trees suitable for building wooden sheds.

Then he beckoned and said, "That's it, choose a few trees, chop them down and take them away."

His tone was relaxed, as if this was a vegetable in his backyard, but the other people had a bitter face. These trees are tall and big, and I am afraid it is not easy to cut them down. Even if they are cut down, how can they be taken away?

Who can carry it?

But they worked with Gu Zeyu, but there was nothing they could do, so they decided that they would have to cut down the tree and take it away next time.

Gu Zeyu noticed their expressions, and comforted them: "Don't worry, it's quite easy to cut down a tree. This tree can be taken down in a quarter of an hour."

A few people didn't believe it, and thought that Gu Zeyu didn't know how difficult it was to cut down trees because he didn't cut down trees. This wasn't cutting down the small trees that withered and could be used as firewood, but the big trees that were growing and had grown for decades.

Gu Zeyu said: "We divide the labor and cooperate. One person cuts for a while, and then we work together to take down a tree."

Then he started to chop with an ax himself, leaving only a few men to watch him work.

The ax that Gu Zeyu used was sharpened specially and was very sharp. In addition to his innate supernatural power, the combination of the two makes chopping trees effortless. Of course, this is just an exaggeration.

However, as soon as he went down with the axe, there was an obvious mark on the tree. The bark layer was soaked in, and the white inside could be seen, and the hard wood had come out.

In this way, one ax after another, gradually obvious cut marks appeared on the tree, and one-fifth of it had been cut.

Gu Zeyu wiped off his sweat, and then motioned for them to chop a few axes too.

In this way, several people took turns to cut down the tree, and a big tree really fell down in a short period of time, even startled a group of birds, they made a mess, and even flew towards Gu Zeyu and the others. here.

A big tree was successfully cut down, and the men who followed Gu Zeyu to cut down the trees gained confidence. After a short rest, they worked hard again and cut down two trees in a row.

Gu Zeyu said: "That's enough, let's carry one tree out first, and then come back with the other two."

After talking, let people take a rest first, he is in good spirits, he went to cut off all the branches of the tree, leaving only a bare trunk, so it will be easier to move later.
