Chapter 239 Missing
He is still the same as before, bringing people back to get saplings from Qiao Mai every time, but this year there are twice as many as last year.
The only blame is Qiao Maishousong. When he went to She County after the Chinese New Year, he gave him one hundred thousand taels of silver bills.
With money in hand, he has the energy to do everything.
He bought all the land in the entire county with an area of more than 50 mu of wasteland.
The needy households in each village were mobilized, among them was Liu Mei’s husband, each of whom paid 30 Wen per day. Where could such a good thing be found.
Digging pits to plant pine trees is not too difficult a job. She County has been very lively since the new year.
The magistrate of the county is really doing something, besides adjudicating cases, it is to let the people have work and make money.
After County Magistrate Zhu heard about it, he felt sore again.
Who wants to give me so much money every year, I also let the common people have work and earn money, as if everyone has such a capable daughter-in-law.
There was a frenzy of tree planting in Shexian County, and the common people could always see the county magistrate taking official orders to make inspections.
Check whether the saplings are up to standard, whether the water is given by the lady, all have to be checked carefully, no one dares to cut corners.
He found that as long as the nutrient solution given by his wife was watered, a sapling could be pulled out in three days, so he could tell at a glance whether it had been watered or not.
For those who are lazy and cunning, once discovered, never use it.
He also divided the workers into groups of ten, with a foreman in each group, who were in charge of a piece of land. Good work and fast work were rewarded.
This further stimulated the enthusiasm of the workers. For some stones in the field, he asked the workers to move them to the outside, and build a fence with the mud to protect the trees before they became useful.
Some unconscious people just want to get something for nothing, and want to be lazy even after chopping firewood.
However, the pine tree is no different from other trees. It is evergreen all year round. Few people use its branches as firewood, but the dried pine needles are fine.
She has already planned. Two years later, she will build several workshops in Shexian County, specializing in processing pine oil and pine nuts.
All are manual operations, which can solve the employment of part of the labor force for Shexian County.
It's just some tools, she still needs to study some, they can't let them dig by hand.
In addition, she has to start planning now, drawing workshop drawings, calculating manpower, etc., all must be written down.
She sighed, this Yuan family started to find something for himself if he had nothing to do, he thought that it would be over after planting a tree?
From the beginning of spring after the Chinese New Year, she secretly went to She County to check, and used the space cheating device to water those trees.
The pine trees planted last year were all three meters high. The workers trimmed off the lower branches. When they reached five meters high, they cut off the upper branches and let them grow wider.
Too high is not good for picking fruit, and too low is not good for later use as wood.
She wrote to Yuan Jiaqi about the maintenance of pine trees, and asked him to form a forest ranger to trim the pine trees regularly every year.
From now on, it is necessary to train manpower.
She calculated that a pine forest of tens of thousands of acres would require at least two or three hundred people.
Each of these workers is calculated on the basis of one tael a month, three hundred taels is three hundred taels, and the expenditure is nearly four thousand taels a year.
In the early stage, just buying wasteland, she paid 50,000 taels of silver, and there were three years of labor costs.
After the workshop is established, there will be more people to raise. She scratched her head in annoyance, really wanting to catch the Yuan family and give her a good meal.
At night, Qiao Mai was upset, so she visited Qian's house at night without anything to do. She wanted to see how the couple was doing, but unexpectedly, she saw Lu Ruxin at Qian's house.
Could it be that something happened to Lu Ruxin during her busy days?
In the end, I learned about the situation from the conversation between Mayor Qian and Lu Sanniang. She was really speechless. Keeping a man?
She, Lu Ruxin, really dared to think about it, it's fine if you take care of a poor family, but you take care of someone you can't afford, and let Mayor Qian and Lu Sanniang wipe her ass.
When she went, Mayor Qian was comforting Lu Sanniang.
"Don't think too much, I have sent someone for my husband to find out the details of the Chen family. Once I catch any secrets in his family, I will clean up the Chen family."
"I won't get you into trouble, will I?"
"No, don't look at their family giving away ten thousand taels of silver. They will never let this matter go. Don't worry, I will operate secretly, and they won't know."
Qiao Mai curled her lips, ordinary people like them can only do this, how slow it is, with this skill, she would have solved it long ago.
At this moment, Mayor Qian took out the pill and handed it to Lu Sanniang.
"Hey, come and take the medicine. Mrs. Qiao got it with great difficulty. It's very good for recuperating the body, so that my husband can have a son and a half."
Lu Sanniang leaned gently in his arms, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so many years."
"I don't blame you, it's my family's fault, now it's finally over, we can finally be together."
Their affectionate and affectionate appearance made Qiao Mai unable to bear to watch it any longer.
She stood on the roof of the Qian family's house, looking at the Acropolis, "The Chen family in Fucheng, the young master Chen Kai? Is a flirtatious? Very good, my old lady will make you not flirtatious in a while."
She disappeared in a flash, and a quarter of an hour later, a person appeared above Chen's house in Acropolis, and she looked down.
"The Chen family in Fucheng seems to be the only one?"
So she wandered around the backyard of the Chen family. At this time, most of the people were asleep, and only one or two yards were lit.
She looked at a courtyard, where a few girls and women were sitting, drinking and chatting, so she went to another courtyard.
The lights in the upper bedroom were on, so she didn't even need to poke the paper on the window, the pictures and sounds inside could clearly enter her mind.
"My lady, you have been wronged this time!"
"Hmph, I didn't expect that scumbag to have anything to do with the Qian family. It's really a good deal for her."
"I didn't expect it either. My husband put a lot of effort into her. He got nothing but her body. This **** is always on guard against me."
"Didn't you say that she loves you to death?"
"This stinky bitch, when she was flirting, she kept asking for it. At that time, she nodded at everything I said, and when it was over, she refused to admit anything. It was difficult to deduct money from her."
"This time the discount is 10,000 taels of silver, and my dowry is almost empty. If this continues, I will definitely be unable to make ends meet."
"Don't worry, Lu Ruxin can't escape my palm, sooner or later she will obediently submit."
Hearing the word Lu Ruxin, Qiao Mai blinked her eyes. She came here today not to avenge Lu Ruxin.
She was willing to help Mayor Qian and Lu Sanniang solve such a small matter.
Besides, she doesn't suffer.
This night, the Chen family in Fucheng was completely stolen, and Chen Kai's life was gone.
Why do you say that, because it doesn’t hurt or itch, it just disappears so miraculously, don’t you think it’s strange?
There was no movement all night. In the morning, when the girl was waiting for the master to wash, she found that the clothes on her head, ears, and wrists were gone. Not to mention, even the ones worn by the master's family were gone.
It’s very clean, let’s put it this way, as long as it’s silver, as long as it’s gold, as long as it’s silver, and as long as it’s valuable.
Even Chen Jiachong's face, the pair of big blue and white porcelain vases in the living room are gone.
Qiao Mai has to support a bunch of people now, and will raise more and more in the future. She needs money, and a family like this should suffer from poverty.
So, she found this excuse and robbed someone.
The Chen family was in a catastrophe, and the prefect Wang came to his house with officials. This was the strangest case he had seen since he became a prefect.
There is no movement, no awareness, and no clues, even Chen Kai's thing, how do you ask him to investigate?
Belonging to the theory of demons and ghosts? Also feel inappropriate.
If you want to say that the enemy did it, it doesn't seem like it. If the enemy of their family is really so evil, the family's life will be gone long ago.
