Chapter 129: Recruit refugees again

Wu Song glared: "What are you doing here?"

The ruffians were shocked. This new Wu Dutou had a great fist, so who dared to mess with him?

"I'm here to pay off the bill of cooking cakes."

Wu Song shouted, "This is my relative's brother. Who dares to bully him anymore? Be careful of the dog's head."

"Yes, yes, yes. How could we be, we are all good neighbors to Dalang."

Wu Song left, and the thugs lined up to pay Wu Dalang one by one.

Dalang was proud, and these ruffians would never dare to bully him again.

Jinlian leaned on the door and felt a little disappointed, and sighed and returned to the room.

Jinlian's life was full of misfortunes. Wu Dalang, who was forced to marry these three-inch nails, was not just about her height.

"Dalang, my uncle lives in the yamen without luggage and bedding. We have many new beddings for marriage. You can send a set to my uncle."

Dalang felt a little excited: "It's better for my elder sister to think carefully, I'll give it to you."

Wu Dalang took a big red quilt and a mattress. He followed Wu Song's footsteps and went to the yamen to deliver the quilt.

Is it a kind of meeting that you used by me?

A red cloud flashed across Jinlian's face, luck made people feel bad. How great would it be if his husband was Wu Er.

This period can be said to be a small peak in Wu Song's life. His career was going well, his family reunion was reunited, and the boy was living a good life.

Not to mention how Wu Song did it in Yanggu County, just say that Chao Gai's grain processing business in Chaojiazhuang is getting bigger and bigger.

From the initial pounding of rice to the current series of processing, rice, millet, sorghum, and buckwheat.

The hydraulic mills have grown from more than 100 to more than 300, and the rivers and streams in Chaojiazhuang have been installed.

Hydraulic mills save manpower and keep going day and night. But there are many limitations, that is, they need water flow.

I bought thousands of stone mills from Lijiazhuang one after another. According to Master Gongsun Sheng’s proposal, the newly ordered medium-sized stone mills, as well as reciprocating stone mills and push-pull stone mills that do not need to be rotated.

It can mainly mill millet, sorghum and buckwheat rice. Medium mills are light in weight and are more conducive to women's operation.

This spring, another locust plague was caused near Qingzhou, and many people fled with their families.

Li Zhong and Zhou Tong arranged for someone to secretly spread news that there was work to do in Chaojiazhuang, Yuncheng County, Jezhou, and that they could find work and have a meal when they came.

Chao Gai originally thought that the distance was so far, so there would not be too many people, but he was wrong. More than 2,000 people came in just one month.

Shi Wenbin was very dissatisfied with Chao Gai. Although refugees could increase the population, they would trigger plagues and disrupt social stability.

Chao Gai had to guarantee Shi Wenbin that he would quickly solve the problem and never leave any troubles. Shi Wenbin's term of office is about to expire and he doesn't want to cause trouble.

It was in this case that the four villages of Chaojiazhuang were quickly formed, but the people in the four villages had no wasteland to be reclaimed, so they temporarily set up tent villages.

The man burns bricks and builds a house to reclaim wasteland to engage in heavy physical labor. At the same time, a large number of women and teenagers of sixteen or seventeen years old also need to be resettled.

Chao Gai has money and food, but it is terrible to eat when he sits alone. He opens his mouth every day and wants to eat something.

So we expanded the rice milling and paper mills, and now there are as many as thousands of people.

The rice mill does not have any machines and all manpower.

Taking millet as an example, from millet to millet, it takes a very troublesome process, constantly crushing and peeling, and sieving, so that it can be processed into millet.

Chao Gai and Gongsun Sheng came to the rice mill. There was a pavilion with only roofs above the mill, which could block the sunshine and rain.

The female worker was busy under the pavilion and used a pound of salary, so she could not use the supervisor.

The treatment of female workers is very different. The treatment of guards is actually two meals a day, but later Chao Gai suggested changing it to three meals.

But the food is average and you can eat enough.

Breakfast, rice porridge, pickles.

Lunch, pancakes, steamed buns, seasonal vegetables, what’s cheaper to make.

Dinner, sorghum rice porridge, and vegetables. Everyone finishes work and goes home after dinner. Unless there is an urgent matter, overtime is generally not allowed.

The millet in front of me was responsible for a middle-aged woman in her thirties and her teenage daughter. From pushing and pulling in the morning to noon, she had already produced eighty kilograms of high-quality millet.

The rice is bagged and the bran is well organized.

Gongsun Sheng pulled Chao Gai to the side and muttered: "Brother, this woman is pregnant, so it's not appropriate to do this. If it's a heavy bleeding, it's two lives."

"Are you a Taoist priest and are proficient in gynecology? Why didn't I realize she is pregnant?"

Gongsun Sheng smiled and said, "I am the technique of looking at the qi. She has two people on her body, so she is naturally pregnant."

Chao Gai is a person who cherishes his reputation. If this female worker is tired and miscarried in the workshop, it will be unpleasant to spread it. You have to ask carefully.

"Sister-in-law, please stop, I have something to ask you."

When the woman asked, she stopped quickly.

"What's the matter with the great official?"

"Are you pregnant? You can easily get dizzy when pushing the mill and turn around every day. Once a problem occurs, it will be two lives."

The woman was startled when she heard this: "The civilian woman is only three months pregnant and can still work. The civilian woman's husband has a leg injury and is recuperating in a tent. She needs the civilian to earn money to buy medicine."

Gongsun Sheng sighed when he heard this: "This woman is so confused. I had already said when I settled the refugees. The village doctors can only pay for free medical treatment, and the medical expenses can be charged, and they can still be charged."

The woman lowered her head: "The civilian woman was worried about fraud and didn't dare to get it."

It is normal for refugees to be vigilant. After all, there are not many good people and bad people on the way to escape.

Chao Gai called the supervisor of the rice mill and pointed at the woman and said, "I am not suitable for such a tiring job when I am pregnant. I will transfer it to the kitchen and arrange to make pancakes and do some work."

"Okay owner."

The job has been transferred, but the kitchen work has only been relatively relaxed.

Compared to relaxing, these female workers prefer a stable income.

Chao Gai arranged for Gongsun Sheng again: "The Taoist priest worked harder and organized manpower to set up a few big pots in the newly built villages, and appropriately serve rice porridge and pickles for two meals a day, so that people who are resting in the village and cannot work have enough food to be healthy after eating. In addition, the construction of the Sales kindergarten in the four villages is also accelerated, and children aged three to seven are admitted to the kindergarten for free."

"Build a few tents and start, don't wait for the house. The weather is hot now, and it's rainy season in some time, and there is deep water everywhere. Let's start as soon as possible for the safety of the children."

"Okay, I think there are only a hundred children at most. Just build a tent and start."

The Sales Camp formed by Chao Gai has the prototype of a kindergarten, but it is not all. Simply put, it is just a few women who take their children to play, do games, do handicrafts every day, cook some porridge for the children, and make some steamed buns, which can control the rice.

"Thank you brother."

Gongsun Sheng was very moved. He spoke big talk and bragged about it, but there were very few who actually used money and grain to produce it.

Chao Gai took out real money and the workshop held to provide work for refugees.

Generally, women have a salary of 200 to 400 kilometres per month, and a salary of 300 to 500 kilometres per month.

Moreover, Chaojiazhuang pays money and food, and the cost of living is very low, so it is easy to have food and clothing.

It’s not easy to live a better life. At the top is guards, who dare to work hard, and secondly, skilled craftsmen, and one or two chunk of money a month is not uncommon.
