Jiang Yue and others finally understood.
It turns out that this group of mushroom people was not recruited for no reason. Guess it was Grandpa Na who had inquired about it a long time ago and knew that Master Hu’s medicine garden was being opened and that the mushroom people tribe was needed to take care of the medicine garden. It can be regarded as doing what he likes and pleasing Mr. Tiger.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yue completely understood what was going on.
Before, he thought that Ga Ye was so enthusiastic about introducing jobs to them. Facing the threat of the lizard people, Ga Ye also took the responsibility to block the gun for them.
Now it seems that on the one hand, Ga Ye is protecting his business reputation, and on the other hand, it is also because the mushroom people group is exactly what Hu Ye needs.
And Lord Ga is obviously begging for a bite of food from Lord Hu, so naturally he wants to think of ways to please Lord Hu.
Speaking of just taking care of the medicine garden, Jiang Yue and the others didn't think it was too difficult a task. But Jiang Yue always felt that it was not as simple as Mr. Ba said.
Of course, it is natural to work for money, and on the surface Jiang Yue and the others naturally obey his words.
Baye was also very satisfied with Jiang Yue's reaction. It is said that mushroom people are a timid group, and now it seems that they are indeed right.
"Okay, you guys, come with me to the medicine garden first."
Ba Ye led Jiang Yue and his group of mushroom people towards another mountain path on the right side of the wooden house. After twists and turns, going around and around, I finally reached a shady place.
This area was obviously developed separately. Large tracts of land were neatly divided into plots, and medicinal plants had been planted on them.
Jiang Yue knew very little about the medicinal materials in the inner earth world, and he felt a little headache looking at these medicinal gardens.
Do we really have to take care of the medicine garden here?
Ba Ye said: "Did you see it? Your job from now on is to take care of this medicine garden."
The leader of the mushroom people said in a flattering manner: "Master Ba, we have no experience in taking care of the medicine garden, and we don't know the habits of these medicinal materials. If we let us get started hastily, will it delay Master Hu's important event?"
"I'm not letting you start without permission. Someone will teach you later. As long as you remember it, it's not difficult. The key is to be patient and responsible, and don't be sneaky. You have to take care of this medicine garden like you care for your children. You will have a good harvest later. Well, when Lord Tiger is happy, he might be able to reward you a little more."
This medicinal garden covers at least several thousand acres, and you can't even see the end of it at a glance.
"Master Ba, besides the few of us, is there anyone else taking care of the medicine garden?"
"What? You have nine people here. Isn't that enough?" Mr. Ba stared at Jiang Yue and asked.
"Master Tiger spends twenty silver coins on you every month for food and drink. In one month, it is two hundred silver coins. In one year, it is two thousand. The money you get from being Tiger Master is falling from the sky. Came down?"
After they calculated the accounts like this, it seemed that the cost was really high.
But there are just nine mushroom people taking care of these thousands of acres of medicinal fields. Just looking at them makes my scalp numb. Even if you don’t know what steps are required to take care of these medicine gardens, think about it and you will know that it is definitely not easy.
Jiang Yue didn't answer, and followed Ba Ye around the medicine garden, listening to Ba Ye's introduction to the medicine garden.
"These medicinal materials are very valuable. You must serve them carefully sooner or later."
When I walked to the other end of the medicine garden, I found a slope at the other end, leading down to the mountain. There seemed to be an abandoned hunting trail.
Jiang Yue asked: "Master Ba, there is an abandoned hunting trail here. Does it lead to somewhere under the mountain?"
Baye's face twitched slightly, and he said in a serious voice: "Don't go in that direction in the end. Don't even think about going down the mountain from that direction. That place is a tribe of arrow wolves. The arrow wolves are all fierce and aggressive, and our village owner I don’t want to deal with them anymore.”
A trace of fear flashed across the face of the mushroom man leader: "Arrow Wolf Man? How far is their tribe from here?"
"It's less than a hundred miles away. Arrowwolves like to live in the mountains and generally don't come to the market town. They are not welcome here either. But..."
When Ba Ye said this, he paused, waved his hand, and changed the subject: "Forget it, let's go too far. Remember, you are not only responsible for taking care of this medicine garden, but you also have to arrange patrols every day. In case someone Illegal mining. If there is any shortage, you are all responsible."
Some of the mushroom people already had bitter looks on their faces.
Sure enough, this stable salary is not so easy to get.
They are not fools. It is not easy to take care of this medicine garden. They also have to be responsible for security work and guarding the thousands of acres of medicine garden from being stolen. If one or two plants are missing, they still have to be held accountable.
This job is indeed not as easy as imagined.
After walking around for a while, all the faces of the mushroom people were filled with sadness.
The leader of the mushroom people even said bluntly: "Master Ba, if we come here, we have already prepared to endure hardships. But for such a large medicinal garden, we have to be responsible for the care and safety of it. There cannot be any shortage." Not to mention the nine of us, even with double the manpower, it would be impossible for us to take such thorough care. Let’s talk about the issue of anti-theft. Even if the nine of us stay up all night to patrol, it is difficult to ensure that such a large medicinal garden is not invaded. Thieves have invaded. What's more, there is a hunting trail here, and a fierce tribe is watching. With all due respect, this work is not only laborious, but also life-threatening."
To say that the leader of the mushroom people is quite courageous. The other mushroom people have also thought of these words, and the leader of the mushroom people is the only one who dares to say them face to face.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Qiao also thought of it, but their minds were not in the medicine garden. They sneaked in here just to collect information.
If they feel that this place cannot collect any useful information, they can leave at any time.
Jiang Yue also knew that the manor was actually heavily guarded and it would be difficult for ordinary people to escape. But for Jiang Yue and the others, even if the manor's guards were ten times tighter, they wouldn't be able to stop them from leaving.
Baye looked gloomy and stared at the leader of the mushroom people coldly. Then, he glanced at Jiang Yue and others.
"What do you say? Do you think the same as him?"
If Ba Ye hadn't stared at Jiang Yue and asked, Jiang Yue wouldn't have said anything.
But since he was asked, Jiang Yue would naturally not be afraid to express his stance.
Besides, there are only nine mushroom people here. If there are no other people, who can we ask for information? You can't expect to get much valuable information from those mushroom people, right?
"Master Ba, he is right. Even if the nine of us keep our eyes open all day long, and one person splits two to use them, we will not be able to complete the tasks you mentioned, Master Ba. Unless Mr. Hu has no hope of this How much output can the medicine garden have? Otherwise, I don't believe that Master Hu's arrangements would be so hasty. And as we all know, we mushroom people are not a group with strong combat power. The work of security and protection of the medicine garden itself is not suitable for us. Just taking care of these medicinal fields is enough for us.”
Others nodded.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that this is the case.
Ba Ye's gloomy face suddenly showed a weird smile, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, very good. At least you dare to express the truth, proving that your mushroom people group is still sincere. Don't worry, what I said just now is just to test you. You don’t have to worry about security work. Mr. Hu has other plans. You just need to take good care of the medicinal fields, and of course you have to be careful of some wild beasts that may damage the medicinal fields. You won’t tell me that you can’t even deal with some wild beasts, right?”
Large beasts probably won't be around this medicine field. After all, this place has not yet reached the deep mountains and old forests, and it does not have the conditions for large beasts to roam.
There is no need to worry about some small animals coming to cause damage.
The leader of the mushroom people thought for a while, then nodded and said: "If this is the case, we can still try these jobs. However, I still have to say that these medicinal materials are also life, and life has three disasters and six diseases. We will do our best to take care of it, but you can't expect that no accident will happen to any of them. No one can predict this unexpected event."
"Hmph, if it's a natural disaster or if the medicinal materials themselves are ineffective, I won't blame you. We can still tell whether it's due to poor care."
It can be seen that Ba Ye is still somewhat unhappy. But he obviously also knows how difficult it is to take care of such a large medicinal field, so he is not in a position to blame.
It would be a headache if these mushroom people gave up their job and asked to be assigned other tasks.
It's not that you can't force them, but you can't do a good job with force. If these mushroom people take advantage of the situation, be lazy, or cheat, it will seriously affect the production of these medicinal materials.
Therefore, both coercion and comfort are needed.
Pointing at these mushroom people who take good care of the medicinal fields, they should be coaxed as much as possible.
"Don't worry too much. These medicinal materials are all spiritual things, and their vitality is not bad. Unless there is serious man-made damage, there is basically no need to worry about them dying and being destroyed. If they are so squeamish, they are not worthy of being called elixirs. "
After hearing what he said, these mushroom people finally felt more comfortable.
"Okay, do you see those rooms? That's where you will live in the future. As for food and drink, someone will bring it to you every morning. I think you can stay here tonight and get familiar with the environment. Someone will come tomorrow to teach you about taking care of the medicine garden."
There are actually five or six rooms in the house, and each one has a courtyard, a hall and a wing. The layout is very bright.
It can be seen that Master Hu has put a lot of thought into this place.
The place where this house is built is on relatively high ground. Standing at a high place, you have a better view and can see the whole medicinal garden.
If there is any disturbance, you can also observe it.
Ba Ye suddenly asked: "Have you seen the trees outside the medicine garden? Look at the leaves, are they a little strange?"
But the leader of the mushroom people said: "I know this is a silver light tree. At night, these leaves will emit a faint silver light. A silver light tree can make light within ten meters around. So many silver light trees, You don’t have to worry about poor visibility at night, and you don’t have to worry about things happening that we won’t be able to detect.”
"Haha, I didn't expect you to have some knowledge. These silver light trees are not just for lighting. The silver light they emit also has a certain stimulating effect on the growth of medicinal materials. Moreover, the silver light trees themselves are also rare species. Now you know, Master Hu has high expectations for this medicine garden, right?"
Jiang Yue and others nodded silently.
Later, Ba Ye talked about many things related to the medicine garden. Then let them arrange their own accommodation and tell them that someone will come to give them food and drink for today.
Master Ba was obviously a busy man, so he left after giving instructions.
The nine mushroom men were left behind in this empty medicine garden.
From now on, they will be able to afford this medicine garden.
The leader of the mushroom men shrugged, with a wry smile on his face: "I knew it wouldn't be easy to work for 15 silver coins a month. Unfortunately, the contract we finalized stated that we would have to work for at least two years. It's going to be tough. Three brothers, From now on, we will be stirring things up in the same pot, so we need to get to know each other again."
"I'll come first. My name is Qingzhe, and I'm the captain of our group. We are all from the Ax Mountain Kingdom. The three brothers don't look like we are from the Busan Kingdom. In addition to the Ax Mountain Kingdom, there are several other places in the inner earth world. There are also many mushroom people, I don’t know how many brothers..."
"Haha, we are all small characters in a small place, not worth mentioning. Can you call me Zuyao?"
"My name is Jin Tong." Sangou muttered.
"Wooden burnt." Jiang Qiao said more simply.
All three of them split the last character of their names into two characters and used them as pseudonyms.
The leader of the mushroom people named Qingzhe chuckled and said: "The name Mujiao is a typical mushroom people name. The names of the two brothers Zuyao and Jin Tong are rare."
Jiang Yue said lightly: "The inner earth world is too big. Each ethnic group has its own customs. Even if they are all mushroom people, different places have different customs. Besides, the name is just a code name. Brother Qingzhe, Let’s see how these houses are arranged.”
"Haha, there are so many rooms that we can't allocate them to two people per room." Qingzhe said with a smile, "How about we allocate them as two people per room."
Jiang Yue said: "The three of us are not used to being separated, so it's better not to share a room with two of us. The three of us squeeze in and occupy one room."
It is said to be one room, but this kind of house has a hall and a side room. Three people can live in one house. It is actually very empty and will not be crowded at all.
Qingzhe originally wanted to split Jiang Yue and the others into two groups and achieve this idea through house allocation.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected directly by Jiang Yue. And that tone was not a discussion at all, but a direct conclusion.
When it comes to this, naturally it cannot be forced.
"Haha, the three brothers do seem to have a strong relationship. Then we are going too far and occupying a few more rooms. Don't you mind."
"It's up to you." Jiang Yue chuckled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
Jiang Yue and the others chose a relatively spacious room with several side rooms, which was enough for each of them to live comfortably.
Food and accommodation are included. The accommodation is a bit desolate, but it is quiet and spacious, which is not bad. Now it depends on how well you eat.
