Those who stayed in Duanjiabao were people who had worked here nearby but had no land.
They were waiting to see if there would be any other work here.
After all, with an income of twenty or thirty cents a day, that would be several hundred cents a month.
Such a job is not easy to find.
Most of these people are young and middle-aged men who are in their prime and make money by selling their strength.
In the past few days, Gu Hongfu has been worried about what to do if these people don't leave for a long time.
They have been doing this for more than half a month, and they still have some money on hand, so it's okay.
If you run out of money and are unwilling to leave, this is a big problem.
With no money, nothing to do, and no land to farm, no one knows what they will do.
Therefore, when he heard that Duan Wenjun wanted to keep the person, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately stopped him.
"That's what the ancient steward said. After the south slope reconstruction plan is completed, we won't need a lot of manpower." Zhao Yingguang frowned. "It doesn't take too many people to take care of these trees, remove insects and water them in time, etc.!"
Chen Wenjing also had a puzzled look on her face, "Young master, we have dug a lot of mulberry fish ponds. Many families in Duanjiabao have lost their fields or have less fields. We happen to have free time to take care of the south slope, so there is no need for it at all. There are people outside!”
Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Duan Wenjun suddenly smiled.
"Yes, everyone's analysis is correct! If we only do the work of Nanpo and Sanchi Fish Pond, it is simply not enough for us Duanjiabao to do."
"In particular, I don't know if you have noticed it, but through our southern slope reconstruction plan, we can actually see that as long as it is not a particularly busy time, our farmers in Duanjiabao, after taking care of the work in the fields, actually There is still a lot of free time.”
"If we use this free time and find some work to do, we can make a lot of money and make everyone's life better, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Duan Wenjun with doubts on their faces.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the young master has a lot to say.
Taking care of the work in the fields, there is always some free time. If you can have a job and earn some money to supplement your family income, your life will naturally become more and more prosperous.
Who doesn't like it when you can make money?
Seeing everyone's faces full of surprise and a little excitement, Duan Wenjun was very satisfied with the current effect, and then continued talking.
"Actually, it's very simple. We not only have to solve the problem of the one or two hundred remaining laborers, but we also have to solve the problem of making money for our own people in Duanjiabao."
"So I'm thinking, actually we can do more projects, everyone can brainstorm ideas, and if there are any ways to make money, you can give me suggestions."
"Of course, I have some plans and ideas for our Duanjiabao. But today is not my speech. I hope to hear more of everyone's opinions."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent immediately, not knowing how to respond to Duan Wenjun's words.
How can the way to make money be so easy?
Duan Wenjun's eyes glanced around everyone's faces, and finally landed on Chen Wenjing.
"The reconstruction plan of the south slope has been completed. Although it does not require so many manpower, it still needs to be looked after by dedicated personnel. I think this matter will still be left to Wen Jing."
"Wen Jing, I have told you carefully about the mulberry fish pond before. How to plant mulberry and raise silkworms and how to raise fish must be according to the plan. Do you have any questions?"
When she heard that Shaodongjia actually handed over Nanpo and Sanji Fish Pond to her, Chen Wenjing seemed to be unable to believe her ears.
Excited, he stood up suddenly and said, "Wen Jing will do her best and will definitely live up to her young master's important responsibilities."
"Okay!" Duan Wenjun nodded. "When you go back, write a plan. Calculate how many people will be used and how much it will cost. Just tell Uncle Gu directly. You don't need to save money too much, but things must be done well."
Chen Wenjing nodded hurriedly again.
Duan Wenjun's eyes turned to Li San, "Master Li, the winery is now on the right track, and the output has also been greatly increased. However, I want to expand the winery a little more and separate a special area for brewing alcohol. workshop. I’m afraid you’ll have to worry more about this matter.”
Li San nodded, but then heard Duan Wenjun continue, "You can just talk to Uncle Gu directly about the manpower and expenses. I will also leave twenty guards for you to protect the safety of the winery. Still the same In a word, this core technology must be in the hands of reliable people.”
"Understood!" Li San's answer was crisp and clear.
Duan Wenjun then talked with Liu Yuxuan about the planning of the paper mill, mainly studying mulberry paper and wood pulp distillation technology.
Ma Xiaobai's current focus on running the farm is the batch of piglets that have just been knifed.
When it came to the tofu shop, Duan Wenjun asked Doufu Lu to spend more energy on studying the dried tofu, fried tofu, yuba and other soy products that he had told him.
Although Duan's tofu shop is very famous for its tofu, the variety is not enough.
Only with more tricks can we expand the scale better.
Moreover, there were no refrigerators in this era, so it was not easy to preserve fresh tofu.
Sometimes, if people who go out to deliver tofu have to travel to several places and are busy until late, the tofu will easily become stale.
However, things like dried fragrant beans, fried tofu and yuba have undergone secondary processing and will not deteriorate so easily.
In particular, they are baked into dried fragrant dried bean curd and dried yuba, which have a longer shelf life and can be sold to further places.
Duan Wenjun will only give them direction on everything, but he has no control over how these people go about research and development.
They have been taught the general method and how to do it. This is a matter for professionals like them.
Of course, just contact Gu Hongfu directly for how many manpower you need, how much money you need to spend, and how much money you need to make a plan.
After finishing speaking, Duan Wenjun said again, "Everyone, if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to comment. Only when your plan comes out will we know how many people we will need and how much surplus labor we have." .”
"What are you doing with grandpa?" As soon as Duan Wenjun finished speaking, Zhao Ling'er couldn't wait to shout.
Everyone's affairs were arranged, but she and Zhao Yingguang were the only ones missing.
Several times, she wanted to interrupt Duan Wenjun to ask, but was stopped by Zhao Yingguang.
At this moment, everyone had finished their assignments, but there was nothing left for her and her father to do, which immediately made her even more unable to sit still.
Duan Wenjun raised his head and looked at them, only to see Zhao Yingguang's expression of loneliness and Zhao Ling'er's slightly angry look.
Zhao Yingguang was holding Zhao Ling'er tightly, as if he didn't want her to speak.
At this moment, Zhao Yingguang was confused in his heart.
When Duan Wenjun handed over Nanpo and Sanji Fish Pond to Chen Wenjing, he was thinking that he might not be reused again.
Perhaps, when Duan Wenjun had to push back a few years to discuss concubinage with them, he should have expected today's result.
What does it mean to postpone the marriage a few years?
it goes without saying.
Before, when Duan Daxiong told him that he was going to let Duan Wenjun take Zhao Ling'er as his concubine, Zhao Yingguang did have some resistance in his heart.
However, after all, it was his mistress who had decided on the marriage back then, and he could not refute it.
Therefore, it is inevitable for him to show something.
Especially Ling'er's outspoken temper, which he couldn't hide or suppress.
He knew that Duan Wenjun must have noticed it, so he talked to them.
Duan Wenjun said nicely, saying that he would give Zhao Ling'er a few more years, and if he found the person he liked, he would help Zhao Ling'er.
However, Zhao Yingguang knew clearly that Duan Wenjun was expressing his dissatisfaction with them.
In a few years, Ling'er will be seventeen or eighteen years old, and she will become an old girl...
When implementing the Nanpo reconstruction plan, he could see that Zhao Ling'er's view of Duan Wenjun had changed dramatically.
In fact, all his thoughts were focused on Duan Wenjun.
However, he also knew that this thought might not win back the young master's heart.
He even felt that his grandfather and grandson might not only not be reused again, but might also be kicked out of Duanjiapu.
Or, with Duan Daxiong making the decision, Duan Wenjun is forced to marry Zhao Ling'er, but the days to come will probably be even more difficult...
Just when Zhao Yingguang was thinking wildly, Duan Wenjun said, "Ling'er, you and Grandpa Zhao, I have other great uses."
Is there any other use?
Zhao Yingguang was stunned when he heard this, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart...
