"Master Xu, can you grant me some wasteland and barren mountains? If it's not free, I'll help you eliminate poverty-stricken villages!" Chu Qing got straight to the point.

"Eradicate? Do you want to massacre the village?" Xu Guangze stood up with an "ooh".

This man is so imaginative! Chu Qing almost rolled his eyes, "I mean, I can help people increase their sideline income. What do you think?"

Half an hour later, the barren mountains and wasteland near the nameless river that passed through the mine in Xingtang County were provided to Chu Qing free of charge.

The probation period is one year. If the local people's sideline income does not improve within one year, Chu Qing will have to pay rent or spend money to buy these mountains and land, otherwise it will be taken back.

Along with these barren mountains and wastelands, all the villagers along the way were provided to Chu Qing, as long as they voluntarily applied to work for Chu Qing.

The next day, the recruitment notice was spread all over Jizhou City by my group of retired soldiers banging gongs and drums. Those who could read were given flyers, and those who couldn't read were posted on the wall. Someone specially shouted and read it to everyone.

Let everyone understand.

As soon as I heard that there was a place to make money, people immediately shouted to sign up: "I, Li Ergou want to sign up!"

The retired soldier asked, "Where are you from?" He said that if it was too far away, he would suggest that he go to his local village to sign up.

But Li Ergou was afraid that he would not be accepted if he registered late, so he quickly shouted:

"I'm from Jizhou, Xingtang County, Jizhou. Xingtang has special products. Soybeans are pressed to produce oil, corn is turned into nectar, mines produce good iron, blast furnaces produce good steel, and refractory bricks are burned in kilns. We can move them wherever needed, and we have all kinds of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.

Yes, a wonderful life can be found in Xingtang!”

Some people take the lead, and others follow:

"I'm signing up too! My name is Qian Chuanchuan, I'm from Wangshan, Wangshan County, Jizhou, Wangshan... Wangshan has... Wangshan has a nice dialect, eating is called pinching rice, girls are called Laomei, and they like to be called Han

, Staying up late is called scratching the night, doing what is called Gaha, moths are called fluttering moths, and taking the initiative is called going up the pole. I’m going up the pole to sign up!”

"And I..."

"I want to sign up too!"

Jizhou City was about to explode, and many people rushed to read the "Job Notice." Xu Guangze also took a copy and ran to Song Tingshan.

"Brother-in-law! Look, that Chu Qing is up to something again!" Xu Guangze spread the "Job Notice" on the table.

"How are you talking?" Mrs. Song rolled her eyes and said, "How many Chu Qings do you know? What is Yao Mozi? Isn't this a good thing?"

"That's great. Paying by piece is a good idea. It also saves someone from fishing in troubled waters." Song Tingshan looked at the "Job Notice" and nodded.

"Talent! She told me that she could help me eliminate poverty-stricken villages!" Xu Guangze ignored his sister's eyes and said happily, "I gave her a free period of one year, and she agreed without even bargaining with me.

Yes, this is a calculated decision!"

"Guangze, come with me!" Song Tingshan took Xu Guangze to visit all the counties in northern Jizhou.

Jizhou is a large state with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. The north and east are mountainous, and there are mines in the east that are being developed. Now the north has become the most barren place.

The north is the wasteland of Jizhou, with the most barren mountains and the least population. The entire north spans four counties, and Xingtang County is only one of them.

These four counties are also the most troublesome places in Jizhou. Every year, Jizhou's tax revenue is at the lower-middle level of Quan Daxuan, which makes Song Tingshan very embarrassed.

Although there is a lot of land, the four northern counties basically cannot pay much tax money because the arable area is small and the population is small. Jizhou is located in the north of Daxuan and has a cold climate. Therefore, the annual tax money is considerable.

, whoever is appointed magistrate of the state will not be able to develop the tax revenue.

Chu Qing was different. He could squeeze out oil from even a dry soybean. This kind of person might be able to squeeze out some oil from a dry wasteland! Song Tingshan was very optimistic about her.

The key point is that the "Recruitment Notice" has already listed the things to be done, and the fees are charged on a piece-by-piece basis. This means that in addition to farming, the people can also earn income during the half-year farming off-time.

If you have income, you will consume, and if you consume, you will pay taxes. Xingtang County will not be lifted out of poverty, but the entire Jizhou will become rich along with it.

Under the leadership of the magistrate, all counties provided a certain amount of help. In just ten days, rows of workshops near the foot of the mountain were built, without Chu Qing spending a penny.

The four counties created quite a scene. They were logging and making mud bricks. It was so lively! They looked at it clearly and made their lips curl up. They didn’t even use a brick. How many taels of silver could it cost to build a mud brick house?

Strong support from all counties! Who are you fooling!

On the day when Chu Qing started work, no one was invited. They hung up firecrackers and went straight to work. This made Song Tingshan very regretful: "Oh, there is no ceremony, I have already prepared a lecture!"

Xu Guangze was also very upset: "This is a major event that our county takes the lead. Why doesn't she take it seriously?"

Just start a job, and it's not a big sale of goods or a celebration party. What's the point? If you have the time and the spare money, why do you work so hard? Chu Qing thought so.

Chu Qing used all Huang Daopo's four great inventions.

Now, the rows of factories on the left are all in operation: one row of factories uses a "cotton gin" to deseed cotton; one row of factories uses a "bow-type shoulder-mounted manual cotton ejector" to deseed cotton; one row of factories uses a hand-operated spinning wheel and three spindles

A pedal spinning wheel spins yarn; two rows of workshops deal with cotton yarn dyeing and drying, and another row of workshops is busy making looms.

This loom was a bit troublesome to make. Chu Qing copied the "Foldable Four-heddle and Four-Tip Loom" that he had visited before. The finished product came out, but he tried it many times and it was not very successful. After all, it was not professional, and

I don’t know much about weaving techniques, but Master Lu helped me figure it out in the end.

Now two-heddle looms and four-heddle looms are being produced, and the joints and bearings are made of Baolu No. 1 steel, which not only looks shiny, but is also solid when used.

Master Lu was using a finished loom to teach the employees how to use it. What annoyed him most was that there were several women who had worked and woven silk for people, and they kept chirping in and seemed to know how to use it.

Chu Qing has never seen how silk is woven, so it's hard to interrupt. Master Lu is welcome. What doesn't the Ministry of Industry have? It's embarrassing to use these people?

The principles of looms and silk looms are similar, but there are differences in the length of the warp beam, the size of the shuttle, the time and size of the loom opening, the beating strength, etc.

Besides, Chu Qing’s four-heddle loom was designed to simplify many of the processes. What’s the point of these people talking too much? Do you understand or understand?

"Do you understand it or not? Can you tell us which steps this loom has simplified? Come up and try it out!" Master Lu was impatient.

I have never seen such a self-righteous person! Chu Qing always listened more, watched more and thought more about things that she couldn't understand, but she didn't just talk so much like them!

It was quiet, and those who wanted to talk back did not dare to say anything.

"Pay by the piece! Remember, if materials are wasted, wages will be deducted. You'd better learn this carefully!" Master Lu scolded.

When something involves money, the attitude will naturally be modest, cautious, serious and serious!

All the old, weak, sick and disabled people from the four nearby counties came, including some men who stayed at home during their leisure time.

Chu Qing is not afraid of crowds. There are more than 3,000 people, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of seed cotton and wool are waiting for them. Moreover, no less than two hundred thousand kilograms of wool must be delivered here within a few days.

Because it’s time for Hesote to shear his autumn wool.

The rows of factories on the right are not idle, and they are all playing wool. Wool and cotton are both labor-intensive and time-consuming. Slow work produces fine work, and it really needs a man to do it.

Because there is less bamboo in the north, bows are made of elm wood and cannot be used without strength. Chu Qing did have some strength, and she sweated a lot while demonstrating how to use the bow.

These are just preliminary preparations. Later, people will be organized to learn sweater knitting and crocheting techniques. Chu Qing doesn't know much, but if he teaches the basic methods and offers rewards to workers to invent more patterns and styles, he will be able to make his own.

Knitted products come in a variety of colors.

Work has just started here, and we have to rush back to Wushu Village to organize the autumn harvest. This year's peanut, soybean, and corn yields are good.

Master Lu followed Chu Qing everywhere, and now Chu Qing placed an order for him to make grinders, sweater needles, steel-toothed combs and other miscellaneous things.

The land harvest in the 108 villages in Xinlun Prefecture is also very good, and the soybeans and peanuts there are good. Chu Qing wants to start oil extraction there, so he asked Master Lu to rush to work and install the crusher and stir-fry machine.

Make it and take it over there.

Master Lu looked at a stack of various drawings in his hand, with an expression on his face that showed he was unwilling to work overtime, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. He was not afraid of being busy, and Chu Qing's drawings brought him a lot every time.
Chapter completed!
