Liu Pan'er smiled, "That's a wasteland, and the government does not charge taxes, and I can't charge your rent. After all, the land that is renovated needs to be maintained, which may affect the harvest. Wait until two years later, I will collect the rent. My cattle and iron plow are also at home, so there is no need now, so you can use it."

Mrs. Tang is kind, "Madam, we won't use it in vain, give the rent."

"That's right, how can there be no reason to use it?" Tang Yunshan also smiled and thought he should give it.

At this time, Liu smiled and said, "Brother Tang, Mrs. Tang, don't be so polite. Although you are the ones who have opened the land, the land belongs to your younger brothers and sisters, not to you. You are equivalent to not having wages to open up land for my family. We are also the duty family, and we must not ask you to use the rent of scalpers and iron plows. The younger brothers and sisters have always been fair in their work, so you must not refuse."

This is the truth. Liu Paner cannot take advantage of the Tang couple because of their honesty.

"That's right, Mr. Tang, Brother Tang, don't be polite. Otherwise, Yuan Qing will also say to me if he knows it. My reputation has finally been managed. Sister-in-law, don't let me be that insensitive iron rooster." Liu Pan'er smiled, "Maoer, go to my house and take the pen, ink, paper and ink."

"Yes, madam." The cat responded and quickly brought a pen, ink, paper and ink.

Li Dabao poured a little water into the inkstone, took the ink strip and began to grind it gently.

Tang Yunshan thanked, "My wife said this, I, Lao Tang, can't be grateful for it."

Mrs. Tang also promised, "Madam, don't worry, I will raise pigs well. Feed the pigs well, clean the pigs, and then go to open the land. It's near the pigsty. If someone comes, we can see it."

"Okay, that's it." Liu Pan'er finished with a smile, and then began to write a contract.

After writing, Li Dabao asked Tang Yunshan and Tang Niangzi to read it.

Liu Paner chuckled and said, "Did you see it? If you know how to read, read the contract yourself."

Tang Yunshan laughed and said, "We can trust our wife and will not lie to us."

"I won't lie to you, but in the future you will encounter other things that require a contract. If you press your handprints, you will be cheated, and you will have no choice." Liu Paner explained, explaining the importance of literacy.

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "What the wife said is that we learned to write with Dazhu Erzhu last night. I can write my name and write six words. I am the leader of the family and learned five. I learn every day and recognize every day. I accumulate little and make a lot of money. In the future, I will be like Aunt Cuihua, and I can understand it."

"Study, you must study hard." Tang Yunshan laughed, as if he was following his wife's instructions.

The couple pressed their handprints, two contracts, one for each, and each took them together.

On the way back, Tang Yunshan held Mrs. Tang's hand, "Madam, my wife is so nice. No wonder the general married her and gave her four children."

Mrs. Tang nodded, "Not one of the four children is biological, but the wife can take care of them well. Each child is good, polite, and smart. The children are also very nice to the wife, and the wife is really amazing. We are here, it's really right. Doing things well will definitely be better than we used to do it."

Tang Yunshan smiled, "It's better now than before. I work as well, and there is no pressure to work here. I live in a good house and have enough food."

"Yes!" Mrs. Tang was convinced by her husband and finally felt at ease.

From this day on, after Madam Tang finished her work, she began to open up the land. She first cut all the weeds on the wasteland and picked out those who could feed the pigs. Those who could not feed the pigs were cut down and placed in a big pit, plus pig manure and aged bird droppings in the forest, and fertilize them together.

Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu did not go to school in the afternoon, so they opened up land and worked with their mother.

Liu Paner was quite satisfied with the performance of the Tang family.

Afterwards, three more families came one after another. These people were all ordinary families and had little business in the local area, so they were thinking of coming to Li Yuanqing's house to do a party. Several men came to see it, but they did not take care of their families.

Tang Yunshan was very happy to see so many brothers who had been through life and death before and helped make arrangements.

Liu Paner arranges the women and children, and Tang Yunshan is responsible for arranging the men.

Those with families are divided into a small yard. The men who come alone live in the same yard. It is convenient for management, just find an old lady to be responsible for cleaning and cooking.

The children were sent to the school to learn to read and read. The men followed Tang Yunshan to manage the security in the town.

As for women, those who are willing to open up land and farm, Liu Paner can give them a piece of land for them to open up land, with the same conditions as those of Tang Yunshan's home.

It’s okay if you don’t want to open up land and farm. The dyeing workshop at home also requires people. You can go there to work. You can earn nearly one tael of silver every month.

Many people are already satisfied with such income and voluntarily stay.

There are more and more people in the workshop, and more and more cloth dyed is also coming out, so it can’t be hung in the yard.

Mrs. Zhao is the person in charge of the workshop and came to report to Liu Paner, "Madam, the yard is too small to put so many dyed cloths, so you can only dry them outside. See where is the right place?"

Liu Pan'er thought about it and then replied: "If you can't stand it, just put it in front of our door for the time being."

Mrs. Zhao felt that this method could not solve the problem once and for all, and it was necessary to find a more suitable place as a special workshop for drying.

Mrs. Zhao said: "Madam, although the method you mentioned can solve the problem, it is only temporary. You are a decent person now and often have guests at home. If you have these colorful cloths at the door, it is not decent. In addition, if we want to expand our workshop, we have to think of a long-term solution."

Liu Paner's eyes lit up, and he looked at Miss Zhao, and he was quite applauding, "Miss Zhao, then tell me, where to build a drying workshop?"

Mrs. Zhao smiled and pointed to the hillside behind Liu Paner's house. "The sunny hillside over there is enough. The slope is gentle, suitable for building racks, and there is plenty of sunlight. Ordinary cloths can be dried on the same day as long as the weather is good."

Liu Paner nodded, "Okay, I'll find someone to circle it, and then set up a rack to serve as a drying place for our dyeing workshop. This year's production will increase, and there will be bonuses until June and December."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you, Mrs.."

Now she has a salary of one or five per month, plus the bonus, and the income of about two taels of silver, and she can get twenty or thirty taels of silver a year.

Liu Paner's family paid a lot of wages, and soon he could summon many workers, cut down old bamboos from the past, and make fences to block some chickens and ducks.

Even though Liu Paner wanted to build a walled workshop, there were not enough bricks at this time, and everything was necessary to come up with the town, so we could only make a living here.

The drying workshop was completed in just five days. The racks inside were sturdy and not tall, but they were tight and moderate, so people didn't have to climb too high.
Chapter completed!
