Chapter 318 Benefit Maximization Distribution
Tu Su Minyang and Tu Su Yanting immediately jumped up excitedly and expressed their willingness to serve, while Tu Su Minxu and Tu Su Yunxi were not to be outdone and patted their chests to promise that they would do their best.
Gu Yuexuan leaned weakly on the chair, her aching wrist gently held by Tu Subo and gently applied a hot towel to it. She said weakly, "Anyone can come, I've really had enough..."
"I'd rather go to the fields to harvest rice tomorrow than pick up a pen again..."
Tu Subo comforted her with a frustrated look: "Okay, let Tu Suminyang take the responsibility alone tomorrow, and you don't have to do it again."
Unfortunately, things did not turn out as he wished.
At dawn the next day, a long, winding dragon had formed in front of the threshing ground.
Before noon, Tu Suminyang called out with tears in his eyes: "Sister-in-law!"
"The child really can't hold on any longer!"
None of the people who came to sign the contract looked at ease.
They saw Tu Su Minyang and Tu Su Yanting sitting at a makeshift table, their faces full of seriousness and solemnity. Curious but also wanting to tease the two children, they rushed towards them and urged them to speed up.
Initially, the two children felt that they had a heavy responsibility and had to perform well.
But after writing quickly all morning, both children were exhausted.
Tu Su Minyang was almost about to cry, but Tu Su Yanting, with red eyes, held on and even shouted, "Tu Su Minyang!"
“You can’t be lazy!”
Tu Suminyang wiped away her tears with her little hands, gripped the pen tightly again, and trembled violently.
Tu Su Minfei, who rushed back in time after learning the news, stood not far away, looking at the Tu Su family surrounded by the crowd with complicated eyes, his heart was in turmoil.
Didn’t I hear that the opening of the farm has received enthusiastic support and everything is moving in a good direction?
Why do all the children, big and small, look so miserable?
Is it true, as Cheng Jingen said, that all the rice harvested this autumn was stolen?
Just when Tu Suminfei was confused, Tu Subo, who had been imprisoned at the table for the whole morning, looked up and saw him, and a spark of hope immediately flashed in his eyes.
Tu Suminfei's scalp tingled under his intense gaze: "What...what on earth happened?"
Could it be that Tu Subo finally had a mental breakdown?
Facts speak louder than words. Tu Suminfei obviously underestimated Tu Subo's cunning intentions. It was clearly he who was on the verge of madness.
With the arrival of Tu Suminfei, Tu Subo immediately rescued Gu Yuexuan from the table, and did not forget to put the two tearful children into her arms.
"Xuan'er, Tu Su Minfei is enough here. You can lead them to find another way. There is no need to return."
The remaining moral bottom line in Gu Yuexuan's heart was still struggling stubbornly: "If we leave, can we really get what we want?"
Tu Subo smiled gently: "Tu Su Minfei was once praised as the most talented scholar. He is gifted and destined to be associated with literature. He is certainly capable of doing this."
Tu Su Minfei, who was forced to force the pen into his hand, remained silent.
Tu Suminyang, who had been suffering for a long time, selectively gave up his brother who was holding Gu Yuexuan's hand tightly: "Sister-in-law, what my brother said is absolutely right!"
"Let's set off quickly!"
If he doesn't leave now, by the time his brother realizes what's happening, it will be too late!
Tu Su Minyang and Tu Su Yanting stood on the left and right, holding Gu Yuexuan tightly. Tu Subo cast a satisfied look at their departing backs, watching them go further and further away.
Tu Su Min Fei was about to speak, his lips trembling slightly. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Tongsheng, who was busy and sweating beside him. He patted Tu Su Min Fei's arm and urged anxiously: "Hey, Second Young Master of the Tu Su family, what are you still doing there?"
"Is it that you can't write with a brush, or that you can't hold the pen?"
Tu Suminfei: "..."
Yu Tongsheng: "Your eldest brother praised you highly and said you are the most reliable. At this critical moment, you must not let us down!"
"These people are waiting, hurry up and start copying!"
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
Tu Subo glanced back at Tu Su Minfei who was surrounded by the crowd, watched the pen tip dancing quickly in his hand, picked up a brand new piece of paper, spread it out in front of him with a smile, and looked indifferent.
As expected, the advantages and disadvantages can only be revealed through comparison.
With Tu Su Minfei staying up late with him, the content that had long been boring seemed less unbearable.
At least, it rescued Gu Yuexuan from the bitter sea of writing.
Something is better than nothing.
Tu Su Minfei is indeed talented.
With his joining, the deeds at the threshing ground were finally able to meet the needs. Together with the one that Xi Lanfang and others copied from home, it was almost more than enough.
Whenever they stepped into the threshing ground full of hope, everyone left with a contract as light as a feather in their hands. However, after careful calculation, only half of them actually signed and stamped those contracts.
“In fact, this is to be expected.”
The old grandfather rubbed his wrist slowly and said calmly, "There's always something new and surprising about things. Some people dare to try, while others retreat out of fear. This is human nature and is perfectly normal."
The future that Gu Yuexuan described was indeed exciting, but all of this was still just talk on paper. He had not yet witnessed others benefiting from Tu Su's farm, so no matter how beautiful the words were, they were in vain.
Life is not easy, so it is natural to be more cautious.
A trace of loss flashed through Gu Yuexuan's heart, but after thinking about it, she still felt satisfied.
She carefully arranged the signed and sealed contracts in her hand and said, "In our village and several surrounding villages, a total of 235 families have decided to join in the past few days."
"All registered fields combined amount to 563 acres, with 621 laborers available."
"More than six hundred people..."
Gu Yuexuan patted the statistics book in her hand and said with a smile: "Each family only needs to provide one person, and our family will no longer have any difficulties in taking over the task of land reclamation."
The grandfather was also satisfied after hearing this, so he asked, "I heard that you promised that for every ten acres of land reclaimed by a family that participated in the reclamation, they would receive one acre as their own land?"
"It's true." Gu Yuexuan casually handed the book to Tu Subo for safekeeping, and further explained, "Our land is full of wasteland. It's not that most families don't want to reclaim it, but they can't afford the high land reclamation tax. We can use the land reclamation tax we pay on their behalf to offset the wages."
"If you cultivate ten acres of land, I will give you a deed for one acre. From then on, this acre of land will belong to you forever."
Compared with the rich fruits of next autumn, the immediate practical benefits seem more real and less demanding.
Even those neighbors who have not yet made up their minds to join will be moved once they see the actual deeds in their hands.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t join this year, after all, there is still next year waiting for us.
As the pioneering area continues to expand, the manpower required in the future will only increase.
As long as the benefits are distributed to the maximum extent, there is no need to worry about shortages of manpower and lack of strength.
The old grandfather gave a little guidance and then cleverly turned the topic to the transportation and sale of grain.
Tu Subo had already made thorough arrangements for these matters.
