Chapter 103 Sent to Zhuangzi
After hearing this, Shen Jintang thought for a while and said: "Except for the old and weak children who have no ability to be self-reliant, anyone else who can work can be given work to them, and their wages will be settled according to their individual abilities."
When Shen Mu and Master Dong heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
Then Mr. Dong frowned and looked at Shen Jintang: "The method is good, but with so many people, how can there be so much work for them?"
A smile gradually appeared in Shen Mu's eyes, and he guessed what his daughter meant.
Shen Mu smiled and asked, "Tang'er, are you going to take them all to your village?"
Shen Jintang's village has a total of 70,000 acres of land for one large and one small family. It would be a good idea to select some people and send them to her village.
Nowadays, in addition to the dozens of fixed tenant farmers in Zhuangzi, all other work is done by long-term workers.
With so much land, a lot of people are needed to weed and loosen the soil every day.
Seeing Shen Jintang nod, Master Dong clasped his hands and smiled: "Since there is work for them, it would be great."
Master Dong looked at Shen Mu: "Sir, I will send someone to gather some young and strong people together and send them to Miss Shen's village."
Shen Mu smiled and nodded.
The victims of the disaster in Yu'an County, Xuanzhou not only came to Yichang County, but also many victims from other places.
However, other places were not so organized. In one day, dozens of riots occurred, and lives were lost.
The DPRK and the Central Government soon learned about the concealment of the locust plague in Yu'an County, Xuanzhou.
Tens of thousands of disaster victims run out of Yu'an County, Xuanzhou and flow to other places every day.
In addition to Yu'an County, Xuanzhou also has locust plagues in many counties, but it is not as serious as Yu'an County.
This matter was written as a memorial and submitted to Long's case. After the emperor read it, Long Yan was furious.
The decree downgraded the officials in Xuanzhou, and the magistrate of Yu'an County had the black gauze hat removed from his head.
Of course, this is a story for another day.
The carriage swayed forward slowly, followed by a large group of ragged victims.
Zhang Yanyan sat opposite Shen Jintang and watched her make tea: "I thought you were poor, but it turns out that I am the poor one."
Shen Jintang laughed and handed the brewed honeysuckle tea to her and Tian Xiuyao respectively: "When did I tell you that I was poor?"
Zhang Yanyan took a sip of tea and her eyes lit up. Then she said: "On Liang Ruxuan's birthday, you cheated Peng Mingfang and Jiang Wen of so much money. I thought you were short of money to spend."
Tian Xiuyao held the tea cup and said with a smile: "Are you trying to teach them a lesson about being rude?"
Shen Jintang smiled and said nothing.
When they got to Zhuangzi, the three of them got off the carriage. They were still a little shocked to see such a big Zhuangzi.
Manager Tong had already received the news and rushed over. When he saw Shen Jintang, he saluted her first: "I've met the girl."
Shen Jintang waved his hand to him and pointed to the victims behind him: "Assign jobs to them so that we don't have to hire long-term workers in the future. Pay wages according to each person's ability."
Manager Tong quickly agreed upon hearing this.
He will be busy with the next thing.
Zhang Yanyan and Tian Xiuyao asked to visit Zhuangzi, so Shen Jintang took them for a walk in Zhuangzi.
Seeing that the sunset had filled the sky, they were ready to go back.
After all, we have to serve porridge in the evening.
It’s now October.
On this day, brothers Shen Yunxian and Shen Yunxuan also returned from school.
Since the school was closed, they only discovered the victims after they came out.
The two brothers returned to Yichang County with their hearts in mind.
When I arrived in Yichang County, I discovered that the situation here was much better than what I saw in Qingzhou Prefecture.
There are no disaster victims everywhere, but it's just a little deserted compared to before.
Seeing this, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still worried.
When I got home, I found that Wu Qiuniang was the only one at home.
"Mom, where are my father and sister?" Shen Yunxuan took a sip of the cup of tea poured by the servant and asked.
Wu Qiuniang has not seen her sons for nearly a month, and she was very happy to see them back.
"Aren't there many disaster victims in the city today? Your sister went to help with porridge, and your father also went to handle official business."
Shen Yun banished Shen Yunxuan and the two put down their schoolbags upon hearing this: "Then let's go help too."
Wu Qiuniang watched them turn around and run away, and shook her head helplessly.
Turn around and ask the maid to tell the cook to cook more food tonight.
Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan came to the gathering place for the victims and saw Shen Jintang serving porridge to the victims in a porridge shed with a spoon.
"Little sister." Shen Yun and the other two walked up to her and called her with a smile.
Shen Jintang turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw it was them, his beautiful face instantly showed a smile: "Big brother and second brother, you are back."
Shen Yunban also nodded with a smile, reached out and took the spoon in her hand: "I'll do it, you go and have a rest."
Shen Jintang nodded, released his hand and gave him the spoon.
Shen Yunxuan glanced at the two of them with a smile, then ran to the side to help light the fire.
"Little sister, how come the only victims here are old, weak, women and children?"
Shen Yunwen asked her doubtfully.
As soon as they arrived here, they discovered that among so many victims, there were no young and strong men.
"There are too many victims waiting for free food and there is not so much rice." Shen Jintang said: "Those young and strong victims have come to work in my village, and they can still earn some money."
After hearing this, Chen Yun's eyes lit up and he said while serving porridge to the victims: "This is a good idea."
After the porridge was finished, the three siblings went home together.
On the way, Shen Jintang looked at Shen Yunxuan and asked, "Second brother, are there still people bullying you in the school?"
Shen Yunxuan shook his head and smiled: "No more."
Ever since those people knew that he and Chi Qinghuai knew each other, no one dared to laugh or provoke him.
On the contrary, many people came to show their kindness.
After the family finished dinner, Shen Jintang took out the task list with Shen Mu's name on it.
"Dad, someone bribed a killer to take your life." She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe that time the horse went crazy was the work of the person behind it."
Shen Mu was so lucky that time that he only twisted his waist when he jumped out of the carriage. What if it happens again?
Shen Mu took the order, glanced at it and fell silent.
Wu Qiuniang was shocked: "Who wants your father's life?"
She knew that someone was targeting Shen Mu behind his back, maybe he was his enemy.
But I didn't expect that man to be so vicious that he directly bribed the killer to kill him.
Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan looked at each other and said, "Dad, please hire some good guards to protect you personally."
The people behind it are so vicious that they have to guard against it.
Shen Jintang also has this plan.
By hiring a few skilled guards to protect Shen Mu, Shen Mu can at least feel more at ease and don't have to worry about it every day.
