120 Winter Solstice

Da Rong State Law is there, and no place accepts arbitrary changes in household registration.

Just like when they separated their families and left the clan in the Song Dynasty, they had to go through the clan leader and the government.

Based on her current ability, it would still be difficult for them to change their household registration.

"I forgot about this. I'm really sorry, but don't worry, life at the border won't always be hard. You have to believe that it will get better one day."

After saying this, Song Chen stuffed the half taels of silver into several hands and asked Conghai to take them to the town in an ox cart.

Congzhu was not idle over there. Song Chen did not let Leng Qiubao and the others in, but directly asked Congzhu to send the people to Cang Er in the town.

Cang Xiuxuan may have returned on the road now. She asked Cang Er to come on first. As for whether to stay or not, Cang Er had a decision in his mind.

When I left from Zhu, I also brought a letter written by Song Chen, which explained the background of Leng Qiubao and others.

He also told them to go over there and show off their unique skills and so on.

Leng Qiubao and others naturally nodded hurriedly.

After dealing with these, Beiguan Village will be Beiguan Village again.

Of course, there are just a few more cows.

Because there is no pasture yet, Song Chen can only temporarily place them in the vacant land she bought before. It was at this time that Song Dashan learned that her daughter had been secretly buying land a long time ago.

When they were surrounding the fence, Song Dashan was still talking to Song He, "Tell me about your sister. How can she bear it without saying a word about such a big matter?"

Song He also laughed, "If my sister had told me this, would there be such a place for her to keep her cows now? Wouldn't it have been turned over by you over and over again like other places?"

Song Dashan couldn't be idle. When he was free, he had to find something to do for himself. He dug through all the land where the old Song family came.

This was a complaint from his son, and Song Dashan could only smile helplessly. According to what he said, it was a good thing that he didn't know.

But it’s not a problem to keep dozens of cows here like this. Didn’t those northern masters say that? They want to eat the best grass, but it’s this season, where can we get grass for them?

If Song Chen knew about his worries at this moment, he would only think that he was overthinking.

While they were building fences here, Song Chen was already arranging for people to build cowsheds over there. These cows could not be raised like cattle and buffaloes, so cowsheds were the best choice.

On the way back, she had already drawn a revised diagram of the bullpen based on the current model.

One cow has a single room, and no one interferes with anyone else.

When he first bought this group of cows, Song Chen also discovered that most of the cows in this group of cows had given birth to calves, and the cows that produced milk were just such cows that had given birth to calves.

In a herd, the number of bulls does not need to be too many; their role is only for breeding.

There were four bulls in Song Chen's group of cows. The two families before had only equipped their own herds with two bulls for breeding.

Song Chen was very careful when choosing the location of the cowshed. She decided on it after careful selection. First of all, she had to ensure that the people in the village would not be affected by the smell and that the water source could not be polluted.

The workers who built the cowshed were still recruited from the village.

Song Chen always asked Lin Maofeng to help her find workers, and this time she also asked him.

Anyway, Lin Maofeng smiles when he sees Song Chen now. Their village has changed a lot in the past few months.

First of all, the big house of their Song family has been spread in several surrounding villages. The best house in several villages is in their Beiguan Village. He is proud to go out here.

Also during this period, dozens of households in the village had workers working in Song Chen’s workshops. When wages were paid a few days ago, half of the village was smiling, which made people in other villages smile.

I am also envious.

Especially a few days ago, Xin Lizheng from Shiping Village came to see him with some things and asked Song Chen what his plans were for the land he bought in their Shiping Village.

Although he didn't know about this matter, according to his understanding of Song Chen, it would definitely be used there soon. He asked Li Zheng of Shiping Village to calm down.

Time was a little tight to build the cowshed this time. Song Chen hoped to finish it in ten days, so Lin Maofeng could only find more workers.

Time is tight and the tasks are heavy, so the salary is naturally enough, twenty-five coppers per person per day, and a lunch is also provided.

Everyone in the village is vying to do it.

But this time the recruitment requirements are more stringent, and people must be physically strong.

"Everyone, don't be anxious. Come one by one. The more people I want to recruit this time, the better. But because the time is tight, there are only ten days. It must be completed within ten days, so every link cannot be completed."

If there is a problem, Song Chen said that if it can be completed within ten days, each person who works will be rewarded fifty cash, but if it cannot be completed, the money will be deducted."

Rewards and punishments have always coexisted. Those who heard the rewards were eager to try and started working immediately, but when they heard the punishments, some people hesitated.

But there are many people who have always been determined. As soon as they hesitate, their opportunity will be snatched away by others.

Soon, Lin Maofeng had written more than thirty names.

He had heard Song Chen talk about the specifications of the bullpen before. Looking at the more than thirty people, Lin Maofeng felt that the number of people was about the same.

He was a little worried that there would be too many people there, which would make it difficult to do things.

"I have counted thirty-four people here. The people whose names I have written on it will bring their own hoes and knives to the construction site tomorrow to dig the foundation first. Those who have not written their names don't worry. There will be more in the future.

There is work to do."

No one has any objections to bringing their own things with them to work. In the past, when they hired workers to help with work, they always brought their own people with them.

The next day, everyone came to the location chosen by Song Chen to build the bullpen, and everyone was shocked.

"When I buy such a large piece of land to build a cowshed, why do I think those cows are more valuable than me?" A villager said blankly while carrying a hoe.

Another person next to him took a bite of the pancake in his hand, "These cows were brought back from the border by Song Chen himself. Why aren't they more valuable than you? I heard that this can make a lot of money. You don't understand."

"Hahaha, we don't understand, but it's okay. If we don't understand, we will just work. Anyway, I just hope that Song Chen will earn more money, and we can also earn money."

"That's true. Fortunately, Song Chen is from our Beiguan Village, otherwise we would be looking at people from other villages with envy now."

"Hey, after Song Chen got well, our Beiguan Village is really enviable now. Among other things, I used to look down on my mother-in-law. Now I can't wait to come to my house every day. My mother-in-law works in the workshop.

I will take money back every month, and I will definitely have a good year this year."

"Who says it isn't?"

"But I heard that Song Chen seems to be planning to set up a workshop, and he should need more people by then..."

Everyone was chatting and working on their hands without any delay. When talking about the future, everyone was even more motivated.

It has to be said that Song Chen has indeed brought great changes to Beiguan Village in the past few months. Now at least half of the people are no longer hungry.

What they said was also heard by Song Chen who was standing not far away.

In the beginning, she didn't actually have so many thoughts. She just wanted to change her living situation. After all, it was too painful when she traveled through time at the beginning.

Now she seems to have nightmares when she thinks about the crumbling house, as well as the bran and wild vegetables she ate.

In those few days, she almost ate up all the suffering of her entire life.

But as a person who had traveled through time, it was absolutely impossible for her to accept her fate like this, so she began to think of ways and solutions. She thought about the changes she would eventually bring to the village, but she didn't think much about it.

After hearing what they said today, she realized that she actually had more responsibilities.

She wants to drive the people in Beiguan Village to become rich, and she also wants to drive more people to change this difficult life.

With such a responsibility, she is destined not to be idle.

The work on the bullpen was very fast. All the basic works were prepared in four or five days, and the rest was the processing and construction work.

In the past few days, Song Chen had been getting grass from the space and asked Cong Hai and others to send it to Song Dashan. They had temporarily fenced the cattle pens, and Song Dashan was taking care of the cows.

Song Dashan no longer asked or guessed about Song Chen's affairs and concentrated on his work.

In order to watch the cows, Song Dashan also built a temporary shed there.

Although Mrs. Song was distressed, she didn't say anything. This was her daughter's business. She couldn't worry about what others did.

I just silently prepared a lot of thick clothes and cotton wool for him.

During dinner that day, Song Dashan came back for the rare occasion.

"The day after tomorrow is the winter solstice, we want to have a good time." Song Dashan took a sip of hot soup and smiled on his face.

"In previous years, we spent the winter solstice in a daze. This year is different. There are so many people in our family. Guixiang, please prepare well."

Mrs. Song nodded, "We need to be well prepared. This year's Winter Solstice has a different meaning. We must make it lively."

In her previous life, Song Chen had no memory of the winter solstice. She seemed to have never experienced a winter solstice.

At that time, the most important thing to her seemed to be the Spring Festival.

But here, there is a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the New Year". Although it is not really bigger than the New Year, it is true that people attach great importance to it.

"Tomorrow I will go to the town to see what I can buy and give out winter solstice benefits to the workers in the workshop. I will also prepare some small things for the workers in the cowshed. After all, we will celebrate the festival at our house."

Since we attach so much importance to it, we cannot lack benefits.

She is very satisfied with the people who are helping her now.
