"That's right. After half a year, we already had a profit of almost two hundred silver taels. I tell you, if it's my way of thinking, I'd like to spend these two hundred taels on wasteland. However, I was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so I kept the one hundred taels.

No matter what happened, in which dynasty, it would require a person to have the land in their hands in order to have a firm footing.

You don't have to worry about these things. I have ideas. What was a wasteland to be afraid of? Wasteland, we can use it. You guys don't have to hunt for years, do you? You guys can go hunt occasionally. Usually, we'll hire Zheng and the others to open up a new land for us and open up a mountain first. I want a large amount of sugarcane s to grow. "

"sugarcane?"

"That's right, sugarcane s are the kind of sugarcane that they grow. Just think about it, using brown sugar like this really saves a lot of time. But all I want to do now is expand the sugar business. Every line of work, as long as you do well, big, step by step out, it is a very profitable way.

If we were to clear the wasteland and grow our own sugarcane, it would definitely be impossible for us to grow grain here, right? The kind that could grow sugarcane s. sugarcane s were easy to grow and manage. I've tried it before, the soil here is definitely suitable for growing sugarcane.

When the sugarcane is taken, I will purify them into sugar. With brown sugar, I will purify the white sugar.

Even sugar, and all sorts of sugar products. In this era, there are still many places that need sugar. We must strive to make this piece of large sugar products to produce a large number of products. "

Yes, since she had decided to come here, she had decided to make a sugar dragon's service.

There was not much industry, but there was quality.

Even if it was just a sugar product, if she made it, there would be more sugars in the future.

Combined with her thousands of years of knowledge, she only needed to use a little bit of fur to display her skills in this place that had yet to be developed.

This point was similar to those who had started their business in the modern era. If they had a unique eye, they would definitely be able to become wealthy families.

As for her, she had transmigrated here, and possessed the rich knowledge of modern people. Those were all ancient cultures that had accumulated for thousands of years.

Wasn't it very convenient for her to use it in these places? Save it.

It wasn't that she was that smart, but it was all the accumulation of thousands of years of culture. However, she didn't feel that anything was wrong. However, Zhang Chaoming was completely shocked when he looked at her.

He noticed once again that the brilliance of his wife was growing brighter and brighter.

Meanwhile, he was falling further and further behind.

However, he really wasn't jealous.

His wife's demeanor when looking forward to the future was truly beautiful.

Alright, my wife's general direction is correct. In terms of refining sugars, she is also very good.

Since that was the case, he naturally had to support her unconditionally. Even if he was ridiculed because of this, it didn't matter to him.

A capable daughter-in-law must have an outstanding husband who was selfless and dedicated. This was what his wife often said. Alright, he admitted it.

"Alright, let's cultivate the sugarcane in the wasteland. Wife, the decisions you've made are all correct. "I will support you. I will definitely be your strongest shield."

Su Qiqiao had nothing else to say to her husband.

"Darling, you're so cute. I'll be up tonight."

Zhang Chaoming's eyes lit up when he heard what she said.

At this moment, Da Niu, the mischievous little rascal, also came closer. "Mother, I want to be on the top as well!"

The couple immediately blushed. Zhang Chaoming picked up his daughter awkwardly, "Ah, Da Niu, this, this, I'll let you be on the stage now." "Come, time to ride a horse."

Having a plan was a matter of manpower.

To be honest, pioneering with Zheng's group was still limited.

However, what surprised her was that at this time, the county, which was originally quite quiet due to the drought in the east, suddenly swarmed with refugees.

I heard that one silver can buy a robust youth. They couldn't help it, they wouldn't be able to do it even if they didn't sell themselves cheaply. At this moment, if someone bought him a job as a servant, he would still be able to earn a living.

People who had lost their land in the Year of Calamity could only hope to get a bite to eat.

All other requests were thrown away.

When she heard the news, Su Qiqiao was shocked. In this era, if one were to muddle along well, it was possible that one would be treated as a slave and sold cheaply.

This was the cruelty of life.

However, sighing was one thing. The first thing that she did after receiving this news was to purchase a servant.

Actually, it was better to say that it was to buy than to do the mobilization work.

Looking at the overcrowded refugees, all of them dragged their families along the roadside, waiting for others to pick them like animals.

Su Qiqiao's nose turned sour again. This was ancient times.

In modern times, if they were to be affected by a disaster, they could still have government, the government's supplement and rescue fees and so on.

In modern times, there was no such thing as selling one's body as a slave. Here, farmers could only sell their land at a low price if they lost their footing.

Instead of persuading them, Su Qiqiao first bought some steamed buns and distributed one to each of them.

While these people were eagerly eating, she began to explain her purpose.

"I know you were forced to wander out. I'm not particularly kind to come to your rescue. Actually, I have my own selfish thoughts, because I want to recruit some permanent workers. "

Hearing the earlier words, the refugees were still very worried. However, after hearing what he said, he realized that this benevolent person only wanted to recruit some helpers.

For those who had lost their land, all they had was strength.

To be able to support themselves without having to be sold cheaply, this was definitely something that they were happy about.

Just like that, Su Qiqiao chose twenty households.

What she needed to do now was to explore the wastelands and cultivate.

And what was to be provided was that in the first year, she had provided them with food, a place to live, and built her own.

After the wasteland was developed, she rented out the land to these people. She rented out the land according to the principle of more pioneering and more leasing.

During the first year of the lease, they no longer cared about their food, but neither did they collect taxes.

The next year, after the harvest, I'll start collecting taxes...

"Good person!" This is truly a good person. " Once this condition was announced, everyone who was invited by her kneeled on the ground and cried out for good people and good people.

That afternoon, when a group of people arrived at the Yellow Water Village where they lived, Aunt Zheng and the others were greatly shocked.

Only when they found out that these people were going to be the foremen of Su Qiqiao's family in the future did they heave a sigh of relief.

"Aiya, you scared me to death. I thought it was a refugee riot and came to steal us. It was okay, it was okay. He was just a laborer. "Sigh, these people are thin and yellow too. Do they even have any strength?"

It was no wonder that Aunt Zheng questioned these people. They were all so hungry that they had lost their bodies. It didn't look like they could work at all. However, Su Qiqiao wasn't worried at all.

Nearly a hundred of them had fallen out of shape due to hunger. Given some time, she believed these people would be in good spirits.

After taking in such a large group of people, the food became the first problem to be solved.

As for the residences, Su Qiqiaohua had pulled out a piece of land for them to build their own houses. Although she had spent quite a bit of land, she believed that it was impossible not to invest some of it first. Besides, no matter what, he must have done a good deed for them to have such a place for them when they were in trouble.

"Wife, if we recruit so many people, won't it be a bit of a waste?" During dinner, Zhang Chaoming couldn't help but ask.

According to his thoughts, he just needed to recruit ten families. But now, they had recruited twenty families at once. They had too many families, and they also consumed too much food. Even more terrifying was that he didn't know how to manage so many people.

To him, who had never been a landowner, managing a large group of people was no less important than managing a large group of disobedient animals.

After drinking enough soup, she smacked her stomach in satisfaction, "Chaoming, we are in the wilderness now. When I sell the sugar again, we need to buy some wasteland and barren mountains. At that time, the sugar processing plant would also have to be built. There are plenty of places for servants, so you don't have to worry about other things. In any case, I'll keep these people alive. "

That's right, she wasn't so kind-hearted as to invite this group of refugees over, but most importantly, for her own sugar processing plant.

After the new arrivals, the houses were ready and ready to be built after ten days of being reared. They were ready to go into the wilderness when the time came for them to go into action.

After excavating the two mountains and removing the weeds and keeping some of the necessary trees, he would dig the ground and move the rocks.

If they opened more, they could rent more in the future, so this group of refugees treated this land as their own.

One had to know that they no longer had to sell themselves to be slaves. Instead, they had to be good citizens with their own businesses. To them, this was no less than winning the first prize.

After the work had started, Aunt Zheng was still somewhat unhappy. Because of the arrival of these refugees, their family's hope of working for Su Qiqiao seemed to have failed.

Just as she felt slightly disappointed, Su Qiqiao took the initiative to approach her.

"Aunt, I need your help with my sugar processing." She spat out these words with a smile, causing Aunt Zheng to sweat profusely on the spot.

"What …" You, you want to give me the brilliance of how to refine the sugar, and you want me to manage it? "

"Yes, through this period of contact, I feel that you are a real person. Of course, before I use you, we still have to sign an agreement. Just don't tell me how the sugar was processed. If it is leaked, I have the right to hold you accountable and demand a large amount of compensation. " His blood brother still needed to settle the score, it was only when he hired someone that he would let them keep it a secret.

These kinds of clauses were very common in modern times.

Although she didn't sound comfortable at the time, she readily agreed.

After summoning her and the other three female generals and signing the contract, Su Qiqiao brought them to her backyard. Now, her backyard had been strengthened quite a bit.

Without permission, he definitely wouldn't be able to enter the sugar processing workshop at the back.

"After I teach you, you guys will have to handle the production of this sugar. "Of course, I will give you all a percentage of the wages based on the output."

Yes, she didn't settle it with a dead wage, but with a monthly settlement that was more than she earned.

A pound of sugar, two coppers for each.

After the first day, Aunt Zheng had refined thirty pounds of sugar.

With this, he had earned sixty copper coins in a single day.

Furthermore, this was after she had just started learning, and she already earned so much money. If she were to do this conveniently in the future, how much money would she earn during this month?

Not only was Aunt Zheng in a panic and in disbelief, even the other three female generals felt that this was too unbelievable.
