"Master Chen, we have finally secured the land. We will start planting in the spring, so time is very tight. I'm afraid I'll have to bother you during the New Year."
"It's okay, it's okay. My family all lives here, not anywhere else, so I'm here. Just tell me if you have any questions."
"Then I won't be polite to you, sir. My place is still wasteland, and I need to find people to reclaim and level the land. The sooner the better. Since the New Year is almost here, I'd like to hire 200 people to help every day. From tomorrow until the 15th of the first lunar month, I'll pay them 30 coins a day. But you have to bring your own tools, like machetes and hoes, which I haven't prepared yet. After the land is reclaimed, it needs to be deeply plowed, and a pit needs to be dug in the middle every 20 mu. I'll be on hand to instruct you on this. Also, sir, you need to help me collect more cow dung, soybean residue, and slaked lime."
"What do you want these cow dung for? How much do you want?"
"Of course the more the better. Just tell me how much you want."
"What's the price for these things? At most, the soybean dregs you want might cost a few bucks. Okay, I'll send people to each village to collect them for you."
"Also, Pavilion Master, I'd like you to help me find a few more bricklaying teams. After clearing the land, I need to build the courtyard and houses first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to arrange everything. This is also urgent, the sooner the better. Ruyun Mountain needs six teams, and Linye Village needs two."
"This is a good thing. I'm willing to take any job I can get, but since you want so much at once, I might need to ask the county government for help. Don't worry, I can help you with this."
"I still need well diggers. We can't have such a large area without water. We need at least 30 deep wells. We also need a few in Linye Village, so we'd better have more well diggers."
"Wait a minute, let me write it down so I don't miss anything. There's nothing wrong with these, I can help you find them."
Chunxia thought about it and realized that before the house was built, there was no way to accommodate the cows and the people. She decided to hire someone to do it first. It would cost money, but that was unacceptable. "That's all for now. These are the most important things right now. Please help me find someone first."
Chen Tingzhang agreed to all the requests. He was just helping out by running errands and didn't need to be paid. Besides, these things were originally to increase the town's income, which were all good things. There was no reason for him not to help.
