Chapter 51 Is Twelve Too Much?

Then Wu An, Tian Ping and Qiao Wu also went to the iron smelting farm together. After all, this is the only major event now, and the iron smelting farm is the most important thing in the village.

"Daughter, why do you agree not to pay dividends again?"

Seeing that everyone left, Hu Daoba asked Qiao Qiao.

"If you don't know, don't know. We won't treat him badly. It's the same with giving him more subsidies in the future. This is the property of the village. The fewer shareholders, the easier it will be to operate."

Hu Daoba secretly praised this girl for her long-term thinking.

"Dad, have you gained anything after you come out this time?"

"Oh, this is a lot, it's all news."

Hu Daoba told Qiao Qiao all the heard.

After returning to Xilin Prefecture from Huimaling Village, Zhang Hongyu was soon escorted to Shangjing and imprisoned. The ninth prince was also accompanied by him. It is rumored that the ninth prince was also under house arrest and could not leave the mansion.

What is that crime?

I really can't find out this charge.

"Um..." Qiao Qiao frowned, "If you can't find out, it's probably a false charge, both deceiving the superior and hiding the subordinate."

"Daughter, this is right." Hu Daoba nodded and continued to go down.

"Nanyue is so chaotic. In addition to the foreign enemies in the north, it is more of the inaction of the court and civil strife! Think about it, the old emperor has been in poor health all year round. The prince is in charge of the country, but the prince has made many people disobey. The emperor has several sons who have grown up, and all of them have ministers who support him. They all want to argue with the prince. They are all the elder sons of the emperor's father. Why is your prince the prince? I can't be? Emperor, who doesn't want to be?

Now the north is full of refugees coming to our south, and the Xilin Mansion is more vacancies. For a while, refugees outside cannot arrive. Some of them escaped from the local villages and hid in the mountains and forests. Now they are just officers and soldiers occupying villages and towns, asking for food."

"All people have escaped, so where can they still have food?"

"If people escape, the fields cannot escape. Xilin Mansion is a famous rice town. The paddy fields in every village are planted with rice. There are officers and soldiers who stay to guard the rice and wait for the rice to mature and collect it."

So that's how it is. Qiao Qiao thought of her own experimental field again. It was almost time for the late rice to mature, and suddenly shed an idea. If the rice is secretly harvested, wouldn't it be possible to plant seedlings in spring? What if it is done, wouldn't it be possible to harvest grain in one season?

With this idea in mind, Qiao Qiao couldn't sit still for a moment. If it went well, he would go back and forth one day and one night. Should he bet?

"Come on, my daughter?"

Seeing Qiao Qiao's appearance, Hu Daoba just mentioned rice. Could it be that his daughter wants to steal rice?

"Dad, I'm going to go back to Maling Village."

"What are you doing? There are refugees running away everywhere. There must be officers and soldiers in your village, which is dangerous."

"I went back to harvest rice. At the foot of the back mountain of the village, my experimental rice, my godfather, if the experiment was successful, we will be able to keep food on the Xiangshuiban from now on. Of course, it would be fine if we didn't go back and steal it, and I could also try again. But it took half a year for a season of rice to be harvested. The test was made and the seeds were planted and then the rice harvested. A year passed. The situation outside was not like that, I would have no food to buy, so I couldn't afford it."

I really can't wait. I want to buy food now. It's too difficult. Who doesn't want to raise it? Even if it's sold, it's all high prices. Hu Daoba looked at Qiao Qiao, "If you want to steal, tell your godfather the specific location. I'll take a few people with me, and go back and forth."

But rice cannot be messed up. The male and female rice must be harvested separately. Let’s talk about which small piece of field can be clearly explained.

"Godfather, let Erqiao lead the way. He understands that he helped me grow it before."

"Okay, Xiao Wu is riding a very good horse now, he can go. I will take someone with him tomorrow morning, and I hope that those turtle grandsons will not take action first, so as not to have a waste of time."

On this day, Xiangshui Village spread. Many people just knew about the emerging iron smelting farm in the village. They knew how much benefits this farm could bring. They even knew that Zhang Blacksmith, who had just arrived in the village, fled to the left bank, was the general manager of the iron yard. He had ten taels of silver per month, and there was a bonus at the end of the year, and the monthly silver could still increase in the future...

What is even more amazing is that the three daughters in charge, yes, they are the daughters. The people in the village automatically removed the word "dry". The eldest lady of our village went to Xiaolinzi, a mountain to eat sweet potatoes in a mud cellar. The iron stone mountain that had been with her for twenty years was discovered...

When you are born, you can speak, you can treat terminal illnesses, train wolves, and resurrect the dead man. Just pick up a stone and be a treasure...

Miss, you are the biggest baby in the village now!

Qiao Qiao stayed on the right bank for a whole day. After dinner with her godfather, she returned to her home on the left bank. As soon as she entered the yard, she was stunned. Several families were buried in the yard, and several uncles surrounded her as soon as she saw her.

"Just girl, is there any iron smelting yard on that side still alive?"

"Yes, let's arrange something for us."

"Yes, I can't give all the good things to the old Zhang family. They all fled together in the same village."

...

Zhou Changfa and Zhou Changan were talking to Dad Qiao in the house. When Qiao Qiao came back, they came out to push away the people around him.

"Girl, here, can you still get into the iron smelting yard in your place? Will you get your Uncle Zenian into it?"

Seeing that Zhou Changan was so straightforward, he didn't admit defeat, "Qiao'er, your fat brother's father, even your uncle, is idle, so you can make arrangements for him?"

Dad Qiao took his daughter into the house, but he didn't understand. Why did her daughter do something wrong this time? This was a waste of time. "Listen to me, can my Qiaoer say this? The blacksmith is a craftsman. Can you understand the matter of ironwork just by just taking someone to go? Besides, no one in my family is in the iron field?"

Dad Qiao was determined to protect his daughter, and while pushing Qiao Qiao into the inner room.

"We understand that the blacksmith has the skills. He can get ten taels of silver a month. We will do some tricks to get a coolie. How about two taels of two taels of three taels per month?"

"Brother, Iron Field still needs you? Qiaoer is the three leading daughters. After all, it's yours."

"Yes, that's what it said."

...

Qiao Qiao was afraid that she didn't give a clear answer to this situation tonight, the Qiao family was afraid that the Qiao family would not be able to be quiet.

"Two Grandpa Zhou, several Uncle Zhou and Uncle Lin, all heard from me. I'm done. If you still want to go to the iron venue, I promise not to say anything and arrange for you to go."

OK, don’t argue, listen to the good girl.

Qiao Qiao asked Dad Qiao to drink a bowl of water. She was so thirsty that she drank a few sips of water. Then she said, "Our family and each family escaped from the same village. Everyone can trust my father and mother. If there is any good thing, I must think about the people from our village.

Don’t just see how much money the Blacksmith gets in a month. This job is not something that everyone can do. It’s so tired. This big guy knows better than me.

A few days ago, I asked Haozi to take the children of each family to stake the fungus pile. Who eats the fungus? What is the price? You all know, how much can you make money after growing these things? Why do you let half-aged children do such money? One is that it is easy to get started and the work is not heavy, and the other is that you have more important things to do."

Qiao Qiao reached out and said, "Dad, give me another bowl of water. Today, I ate too much meat and salty at my eldest father."

Everyone stood with their ears sideways and waited quietly for Qiao Qiao to speak down.

"Well, think about it, what is the most important thing now? The most lacking?"

money.
