Chapter 155 The Boss’s Intention
As for myself and my parents, I will wait a little longer. Things will be resolved as time goes by. Who knows if there is really no one watching them in the capital?
Moreover, if Zhao Liya wants to expand her career in the future, she must leave Gaolian County, but they cannot leave because they are clearly criminals. The more people are released from prison, the easier it will be to leave and do things.
Now that I have my sworn brothers Hu Ling and Qu Yutao, and Lin Mo, I will feel more at ease.
With the "big boss behind the scenes" buying land crazily again, Yan Village, Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village were all very happy. Everyone was full of energy and began to rush to work in their own fields so that they could go out to work and earn money as soon as possible.
In comparison, Zhao Liya's family was relatively idle. After all, they had no paddy fields. Only Qu Guadalcanal's family had more than four acres.
So everyone came together to help Widow Qu. Soon they had finished the plow and planted the rice seedlings, which made everyone extremely envious.
The most angry person was the Luo family. Seeing Shu Yan tending the fields and raising rice seedlings for the Qu widow's family, Qi Shi couldn't help but scold her again, but she didn't dare to go to the Zhao family to cause trouble.
As long as she doesn't come over to make trouble, who would care about her?
Zhao Liya and others also tidied up the vegetable garden at the door, pulling out what needed to be pulled out, tidying up what needed to be cleaned up, and sowing seeds to plant a new crop of vegetables.
As the weather gets warmer, it is the time to work hard to plant vegetables. Various vegetable seeds sprout and grow leaves, including Chinese cabbage, bok choy, choy sum, lettuce, cilantro, and garland chrysanthemum. There are also on-demand pumpkins, winter melons, loofahs, bitter melons, beans, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, etc. Everything is so tender and green, not to mention so cute that it makes people happy just by looking at them.
I went to the city to attend the market again and bought twenty chicks, ducklings and seven goslings to raise. I will be able to eat meat in a few months.
If you raise them for more than a year, you can make old duck longan soup or goose stewed in an iron pot, just thinking about it makes them delicious!
Mrs. Deng was particularly delighted. This was such a wonderful thing. She didn't have much to do on weekdays, and she was eager to raise more poultry to improve the children's diet. The two children were also very happy to see the fluffy little animals, competing to take care of them and feed them, and the yard suddenly became lively.
Farm work is no longer so busy for everyone, so planting is now on the agenda.
Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, Qu Yutao and others went to Zaihu Village and called the head of the village, the clan leader and several managers of Bajiao Village.
Everyone was in high spirits, talking and laughing, chatting and having fun, the opportunity to make money had come again.
The most urgent task at the moment is to plant the 800 acres of sugarcane in Zaihu Village and the 600 acres of potatoes in Bajiaozhai.
Zhao Liya: "I didn't expect to buy so much land at once, but there's no need to rush. Let's take it step by step. First, plant all the land we prepared last year, then reclaim the remaining wasteland and plant other things."
The village head of Zaihu Village said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Zhao. We all planted sugarcane last year and know how to plant it. We're sure it will grow quickly and well!"
"Yes, yes, we are familiar with this job!"
"Don't worry about the safekeeping, Miss Zhao!"
The managers of Zaihu Village spoke in a proud and loud voice, glancing at the people from Bajiao Village as they spoke, showing their competitive spirit.
Bajiaozhailizheng coughed and said: "Miss Zhao, we will also grow potatoes well. They are easy to take care of, so you don't have to worry about us."
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "I know all of you uncles and brothers are reliable, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you. Anyway, just like before, you must pay attention. First, plant the sugarcane and potatoes. The paper mill in Zaihu Village should also start operation. Just find twenty or so people to go there. Then reclaim the land in Bajiao Village and plant the sweet potatoes while you do it. I'll talk about these in detail later. Now I want to talk about something else."
Zhao Liya's expression grew solemn. She glanced at everyone and sighed softly, "We have more and more land now, now reaching 13,000 mu. In your two villages, we have 6,000 mu each. Let me tell you something. The boss means that the more you plant, the more money you make. So we have to buy more land. At least we have to open up 100,000 mu."
Zhao Liya paused when she said this, and everyone gasped. They looked at each other and couldn't help whispering to each other.
"Oh my god, one hundred thousand acres!"
"How much land would that take?"
"yes!"
Zhao Liya smiled inwardly, thinking, "What's a hundred thousand mu? There will be even more in the future!"
Everyone had pretty much digested the news. Hu Ling and Zhao Liya exchanged glances before continuing, "What the big boss is saying is that with so much land here, it's going to be hard to manage if we keep doing it the way we did before. So the positions of managers must be fixed, with a chief manager, a second manager, a junior manager, and so on down the hierarchy. It's all clear in advance who's in charge of what. This way, everyone only needs to mind their own business, and there won't be chaos. Things won't be managed, and there won't be anyone to ask when you need to. That's not good."
Zaihu Village was busy laughing and said, "Big Boss, you are thoughtful. This is as it should be. It is convenient."
"Yes, yes! After all, there is so much land, and there will be more in the future."
Everyone nodded, their hearts a little excited.
They are not stupid. What Zhao Liya and Hu Ling meant by this is to let everyone be in charge, right?
Everyone has self-awareness and knows who is the chief manager and who is the minor manager.
Zhao Liya really had to rely on them. The total population of Zaihu Village was over 14,000 and that of Bajiao Village was over 11,000. Most of them could be used as labor. After all, there were only a few who were too old or weak to work or who were very young.
Farmers don't have so many requirements. A sixty-year-old man or woman is not necessarily worse at work than a forty-year-old.
Children from poor families have to grow up early, and when they are over ten years old, they can basically go to the fields.
Besides, Zhao Liya wasn't Zhou Paopi, and she wouldn't push anyone to death. The work in the fields was the villagers' normal duties, and while it was certainly tiring, it wasn't enough to wear someone out.
It's tiring, but as long as there is a reasonable income, no one will complain.
Zhao Liya smiled again and said, "After discussing it with the big boss, he agreed to select managers from among the big guys. The managers' wages will definitely be higher than ordinary employees. If they do a good job, they will also receive extra bonuses. Every Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year, there will be extra red envelopes and annual gifts worth at least five cents of silver, including meat, wine, candy, cloth, and other things. Anyway, the treatment will definitely be good. Of course, everyone has to work hard to deserve it!"
