Seeing that the girl did not dare to raise her head, the woman was afraid that she would not be able to pass this test, so she comforted Kaijie at the moment.
"Going to Hanzhong?" After hearing this, the girl finally answered.
The woman nodded and said, "Go to Hanzhong. Nanzhong is in chaos, and the queen cannot see us women suffering, so she specially ordered someone to open a textile workshop in Hanzhong to recruit women from Nanzhong to work as weavers in Hanzhong."
"This bowl of millet was given to me when I agreed to go to Hanzhong just now. You also go and sign up, and I will give you a bowl of millet on the spot. With your skills, you will definitely live a good life in Hanzhong to weave for the queen. "
"real?"
The girl still couldn't believe it.
"Really. That's what the recruitment manager said. As long as you go to Hanzhong, you will have food, clothing and housing, and even the children will be looked after. As long as you are good at craftsmanship, you can also teach literacy..."
"How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
The girl couldn't believe it anymore.
"No matter how bad it is, how bad can it get?" The woman smiled sadly, then with a look of determination, "Can it get worse than it is now?"
"I heard from the steward that the queen is about to give birth," the woman said, reaching out her hand again and carefully touching the baby in the girl's arms. "What mother in the world is not willing to do for the sake of her child? The queen is unwilling to do anything. She must be a good mother, what do you think?"
Tears fell from the girl's eyes again and she nodded, "Of course the queen is a good mother..."
As he said that, he finally couldn't help but squat down and cry loudly.
"After hearing what the steward said, I really want to go, but I still have Alang and Uncle Jun at home. If I go to Hanzhong and lose my livelihood, what should I do?"
With the woman taking the lead, those women who wanted to have a bite of food finally couldn't hold back anymore and stepped forward to ask.
In a war-torn place, those who were separated from their families, or whose men simply died, had their fingerprints pressed on the spot.
At the same time, I basically have the same thought in my mind. Even if it is bad, can it be worse than it is now? Rather than living like this, which is worse than death, it is better to go directly to Hanzhong and try your luck.
After all, it is the Queen’s signature!
As for those who still have men at home, they are a little jealous and envious.
After thinking about it but unwilling to give in, he stepped forward and asked: "I can say it's okay if I go to Hanzhong, but if Alang has no livelihood, what's the difference between it and here?"
“There’s a livelihood, there’s a livelihood!”
When the steward heard this, he quickly explained, "You went to work as a weaver, while the men in the family left, and there are other jobs to do."
"The men in the family only have some strength, that is, they can farm some land, but they can't do anything else..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you have the strength, you will be able to farm better. To be honest with this lady, the workshop is not only about weaving, but also needs people to do other work. If your family goes there, it will be arranged together, so there is no need Worried about separation.”
"If you don't want to work in the workshop and want to farm, you can do that. A few years ago, there was great turmoil in Hanzhong and the land was all barren. Then Feng Langjun made a plow called the Eight-Niu Plow. , it turns over the ground very quickly, which is a good thing for reclaiming wasteland.”
"So now the imperial court is recruiting people to farm in Hanzhong. Let's not talk about anything else. The emperor and the queen have an imperial village in Hanzhong, and the workshop is next to the imperial village. Where did your family go? The ones weaving in the workshops and the men farming in the palace, how wonderful it is!"
As a small treasury of the royal family, Hanzhong Ye still lacks manpower for the 100,000 acres of land. Zhang Xingcai got this excuse from Feng Yong, so naturally he would not be willing to just recruit some women, so he mixed in some of his own personal belongings.
With one hand, he recruits weavers for the workshop, and with the other hand, he recruits workers for his own small treasury.
As for what the father-in-law will think, Zhang Xingcai is not worried.
Anyway, he used Feng Yong's name. If others didn't know, how could she not know how important Feng Yong was in the eyes of her father-in-law?
Even if you are yourself, aren't you still thinking about winning over him?
Let’s talk about wool spinning, which is related to national affairs, but it was Feng Yong who brought it up first. The Prime Minister is cautious by nature, so when making decisions related to this matter, he naturally wants to ask Feng Yong’s opinion.
How long does it take to go back and forth between Jincheng and Hanzhong?
I don’t know when it will be until the decision is actually made.
Nowadays, all the powerful people in Jincheng are looking for ways to recruit people to Hanzhong like crazy. She is just one step ahead of others.
The most important thing is that Xiangfu can turn a blind eye to this matter at most. After all, the court's life is not easy. How can it be possible to spend so much food to feed refugees and prisoners of war?
Therefore, it naturally depends on the efforts of the court and nobles.
This is what Zhang Xingcai came up with in the palace.
At the same time, he also passed the blame to Feng Yong.
If Feng Tubie knew about this, he would probably just sigh and sing: It turns out that every girl is not simple...
Then he will happily take over all those women, and take the opportunity to grab some strong laborers - who told you to let me take the blame?
I'll take the blame, and you can do the work!
There is no way, as the same saying goes, too many people have died in Guizhou and there is not enough labor.
Didn’t you see that Zhao Guang and Wang Xun have gone to Yinping to become human traffickers?
Speaking of Zhao Guang and Wang Xun, I haven’t heard from them for a long time. I don’t know how they are doing?
After Feng Yong finished the experiment and sent Li Yi away, he had some free time and squatted leisurely on the ground in Nanxiang, watching the people who had just moved here in the spring of this year to open up wasteland, working hard to dig up the land.
Most of Nanxiang County is already within the mountains of the Big and Small Bashan Mountains. There are only some flat lands near the north, but these flat lands have basically been awarded to the Zhang family.
The rest are just some corners that are not fertile. Although they cannot be connected into a large area, as long as they are willing to work hard, there is still no problem in supporting their families.
Feng Yong was squatting on a hill at this time, watching a young man below pulling a plow, shouting at the old cow in front of him, and digging out furrows that looked like earthworms crawling over them.
This land should have just started spring, or when it was just getting warm, the land had already been plowed through manpower, removing all stones, weeds and the like, and plowing through as much of the land as possible.
Then they were plowed with oxen and plows.
And turning it over once is not enough, you have to turn it over two or three times, and each time you have to carefully clean out the small stones. The more times you turn it over, the more beneficial it will be for growing crops in the future.
"Your method is wrong."
Feng Yong, who had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't help but said, "I've done it so many times, but you still don't know how to do it?"
The young man just looked at Feng Tibi with disdain and said nothing.
There was an old woman resting on the ground. After hearing this, she looked at Feng Yong and wanted to say something, but she did not dare to speak.
However, a young girl who poured a bowl of water for the woman to drink, after hearing this, took over and said: "Thank you for your concern. My brother has just learned how to plow. I have never used this kind of plow before. I just learned to use it today. If I don't use it well, I will make the nobles laugh."
After hearing this, Feng Tubeng glanced at the girl and became even more interested.
