Chapter 1999 Mountains
There are a lot of mosquitoes outside at this time of year, and there are even more strange insects and ants in the mountains and fields. It is obvious that a fair and tender little baby like An An is the most attractive to all kinds of mosquitoes.
It's always safer in Zhuangzi.
The little guy's novelty had not yet worn off, and there was a pair of rabbits raised on the farm. He fed the rabbits with vegetable leaves and was very happy.
Qiao Xuan originally bought 100,000 acres of Liuhe Village.
Even if you hire more people, you won’t be able to develop all of it at once.
Up to now, nearly 70,000 acres of land have been reclaimed. Due to the shortage of laborers, fewer people are hired. There are only 40 people still engaged in land reclamation. You should know that there were 300 hired workers in the heyday.
Qiao Xuan didn't go to the wasteland to take a look. After thinking about it, she discussed with Shao Yunduan. Why not stop for the time being and continue in autumn or winter?
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "I was just about to tell you this! There are too many mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the mountains at this time of year, and the weeds are growing wildly. It is indeed not suitable for land reclamation. It is better to wait!"
Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, it will inevitably cause a big fuss.
Who made it so that one of them was the prefect and the other was the prefect's wife?
Qiao Xuan said to Song Shi, "Since the master has said so, this matter is settled. Tell the workers to go home tomorrow! Well, you can write down their names and give them priority when you hire again in late autumn."
Song Shi smiled and agreed that he would go and talk to the workers in person later.
He has always been responsible for hiring workers himself, which was something Qiao Xuan had instructed him to do before.
Especially since so many people were hired before and there were so many workers involved, the wages, daily lunch expenses, various external injury medicines, prepared new land reclamation tools, etc., were all areas where it was easy for people to embezzle.
Except for the wages, it is difficult to track down the deductions.
Song Shi would never be so short-sighted as to embezzle such a small amount of money. Firstly, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan still believed in his character. Secondly, if he was not stupid, he would not do such a stupid thing that would ruin his future. The gain would not outweigh the loss.
But if it was any other minor steward, it would be hard to say.
Don't make things too chaotic by then.
It would be a joke if the prefect's wife got caught hiring people to do work but was stingy and stingy with the work.
Therefore, Song Shi has always been in charge of this aspect personally, and he keeps a close eye on it on weekdays, and no one dares to mess around.
The reclaimed wasteland has been divided into pieces for planting medicinal herbs. Qiao Xuan had previously decided on several types of herbs, including Pseudostellaria baicalensis, Gastrodia elata, Polygonatum sibiricum, Pinellia ternata, Panax notoginseng, and Angelica sinensis.
They have all grown up now, and the different herbs can be easily distinguished at a glance. The small seedlings grow unevenly.
Every time Qiao Xuan inspected the fields, she would not forget to silently apply her wood-related abilities, and today was no exception.
A large area was also enclosed on the slope of the valley next to it, and another valley opposite it was also enclosed, and two more plots of land were enclosed in another mountain forest not far from these two places. Tall and spacious wooden sheds and wooden houses were built within the enclosed area, and a flat area of moderate size was repaired, with lush grass and many shrubs, and a few tall trees in the middle.
There are also some large rocks with various vines climbing on them.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan did not go closer, but just watched from a distance.
There are chicken farms everywhere, but currently only one of them has 500 chicks, 100 adult chickens, and 150 young chickens weighing less than one pound.
In the future, only two of the four locations will raise chickens at the same time, with a rotation every two years.
March is here, please support me with monthly tickets in March, I love you!
