Chapter 921
921 What’s The Trick?
The news that Lin yuelan was going to open up fields on the hillside field quickly spread throughout the villages.
After hearing this news, everyone’s hearts were restless.
After all, if the sloping fields could really be developed into fertile land, they would not have to worry about not having enough land basins to develop into fields in the future.
In the past, when they opened up new land, they had to find a land basin where a water source could be connected. However, these places had basically been opened up as farmland. It was rare to see unclaimed land. It was definitely not as cost-effective as renting land, or it was difficult to develop new land.
But now, they had another choice.
This choice brought hope.
“if that girl can really turn that mountain into a fertile land, then in the future, even if it’s not beneficial to us, it’ll be beneficial to our descendants.”
“You’re right, that’s how it should be.” Someone immediately added, ” but to farm on the hillside, the first problem is the water source. How can we grow crops without a water source?”
“That girl from the Lin family Village must have some sort of trick to make the fields on the slope have sufficient water. Otherwise, why would she spend so much effort to turn this mountain into a field? ”
“Hmm, that makes sense. Oh, I heard that she had started an independent village called Taoyuan Village. I really want to know what trick she has used. I just don’t know if that girl is willing to let us know.”
“I heard that in the second half of last year, that girl had a good harvest of eight stones per mu. If the Lin family villagers wanted to know how to farm, they would have to exchange something with the girl. It could be money or something she wanted. However, it was said that the things she wanted were all worthless in the eyes of others.
“If it is the same this time, I’ll definitely be willing to exchange. Because if this field can really be opened up, it will be beneficial for future generations. So, it’s worth it.”
“Indeed, I have the same idea as you. I just don’t know if that girl will agree to it or not.”
..
Basically, in the past two days, the people in the surrounding villages had been talking about this matter.
Similarly, in the past two days, the people who worked in the Lin family garden were also restless and discussing this matter.
In the end, the worker representative, brother Liu secretly rubbed his hands and came to Lin Jiawei.
He smiled at Lin Jiawei and said, ” manager Lin, can we ask you for a favor? ”
Lin Jiawei, who was already 16 years old, had been a supervisor for more than half a year. He had become more mature and steady. His dark face was very simple and honest as he smiled and replied, “Uncle Liu, do you need any help? If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll do my best!”
brother Liu said very carefully, ” it’s like this, manager Lin. I heard that the owner is trying her best to use the sloping land to open up the mountains and turn them into farming fields. after hearing about this, all of us, ” he pointed to the people behind him, who had antic.i.p.ation in their eyes, continued, ” were very excited. This is another source of income for farmers. Therefore, we are all very curious and want to know how this hillside developed into a field. Can you help us ask the boss?”
It was rare for them to see Lin yuelan. Even if they did, they felt a sense of Majesty from her, which made them a little afraid.
That was why they had asked Lin Jiawei, who was usually in close contact with them, for help.
When Lin Jiawei heard this, he smiled, ” that … Okay, no problem. I’ll help you ask the boss.”
When they heard that Lin Jiawei had agreed to this, brother Liu and the rest immediately said emotionally, ” thank you, manager Lin! Thank you, manager Lin!”
..
“Oh, I see.” after hearing Lin Jiawei’s report, Lin yuelan held her cheek and said with a serious expression, ” brother Jiawei, tell them that as long as they work well, they will have a chance. When I open up the land, they can come over to help. The wages will still be counted. And they can see for themselves how the land can be developed. However, this matter must only be known to them and must not be spread to anyone else, understand?
“If I find out that they pa.s.sed it on to someone else or made money from it, then don’t blame me for being impolite. You should know that with my current ability, it’s easy for me to take revenge on them.” This matter still had to wait for Jiang Zhennan to report it to the Emperor.
She didn’t need anything. She only needed money.
Lin Jiawei was very serious and respectful to Lin yuelan as he replied, “Okay, sister Lan. I’ll definitely pa.s.s on the message to them.”
“Yes.” Lin yuelan said, “brother Jiawei, the construction of this slope will start tomorrow. You can arrange for ten people to come over to help every day.”
Lin Jiawei nodded, ” Okay.”
Lin yuelan then ordered, ” tell them that everyone has a chance, but no matter who it is, they must work hard. If anyone is found to be absent-minded, the first time will be a warning, and the second time will be a direct dismissal.”
Lin Jiawei replied, ” yes!”
..
After the workers received Lin Jiawei’s message, they almost jumped up in excitement.
“Manager Lin, don’t worry. We will all work hard. We will not betray the boss.” Everyone expressed the same opinion.
Lin Jiawei nodded, “Yes. In short, as long as you work hard, boss will definitely not treat you badly.”
“I know, I know. The boss has always been kind and treated us well. She let us poor people work here for more than half a year, but we lived a good life that people envied. We all know that boss is a good person!”
The Lin family Village had always said that Lin yuelan was a jinx and that anyone who got close to her would not have a good ending.
However, these people had been working here for more than half a year and had been doing well. They didn’t have any bad endings. On the contrary, their days were getting more and more prosperous.
..
The next day, Lin Jiawei arranged for ten people to go to the third hill, where they planned to develop the farms.
The day before, Lin yuelan had led a group of people to this hillside to plan the route. They had used ropes made of straw. As long as the workers followed the direction of the rope and worked according to instructions, it would be fine.
Although the people who came here to work were very curious, they were all very careful and didn’t dare to say much.
As for what they didn’t understand, they believed that they would have the opportunity to ask again.
At that moment, the hillside farms were officially in operation!
Whether it was the workers, the host, or the guests, they all suppressed the excitement in their hearts and began to work seriously.
