Chapter 638 Hiring Workers to Clean up Weeds

While Xia Qing was stepping on a large iron-toothed bamboo pole and letting the sheep boss pull it to clean the grass roots in the territory, she heard Tang Huai publish a new message on the lord channel:

"Have you heard that? The safety zone has decided to abandon the western territory and open up a new territory south of our territory."

Xu Juan had already told Xia Qing about this news, so she didn't react much. She was just a little worried about the mother and son who lived in the ruins of the southern town.

The lords who had just received the news reacted fiercely, "Brother Huai, are you going to open up wasteland to the south next to our territory?"

Tang Huai replied, "The details are not clear yet."

Qi Fu spoke, "It's unlikely that they are close together. The area to the south was not cultivated land before. The terrain is uneven and the soil layer is not thick enough."

Zhao Ze felt that the possibility was very high, "I think we will drive southward next to our territory, because our place is the safest. Even if there is little arable land, we can clear it and use the hillsides to plant fruit trees and terraces."

The question Wen Nengjie is concerned about is more specific, "If we open up wasteland next to our territory, will our iron fence also need to be expanded?"

No one except Territory No. 8 can answer this question. But people in Territory No. 8 don’t like to chat, so no one can answer.

Wen Nengjie couldn't wait for the answer, so he continued to shout and solicit business, "The weeds in everyone's territory haven't been cleared yet, right? If not, it's time to sow weeds. Which territory needs to hire people to weed? Five of them? If you get points for one day, you don’t have to worry about food, and everything will be clean.”

What Wen Nengjie didn't expect was that Xia Qing actually spoke up, "Brother Jie, how many acres of land can one of you clear in a day? How will the responsibility be calculated if the person pulling weeds is in danger while working?"

There is a shortage of people in Territory No. 6, and more and more fields are being cultivated in Territory No. 4 and Territory 5. Xia Qing does not want to trouble his allies to help him clean up the weeds, so he decides to hire people from Wen Nengjie's territory.

Wen Nengjie immediately replied, "One person cleans at least three acres of land a day. We bring our own protective clothing, tools and food, as long as we are not injured by people in the territory where we are working or by aggressive killing plants or large beasts." , It’s ours. Sister Qing, how many people do you want to work for?”

For an ordinary person to clear three acres of weeds a day, the work intensity is already very high. Xia Qing responded, "I need eight people to work for five days. Can we start tomorrow?"

Wen Nengjie was overjoyed, "Yes, of course! I will lead people to the south gate of Territory Three at 6:30 tomorrow morning. Thank you Sister Qing for taking care of our business."

Tang Huai also spoke, "Xia Qing, have you caught all the mice in your territory? Can I go over and help you catch the mice? It's free."

Everyone...

Xia Qing grabbed the sheep boss, pulled off the weed roots that had been raised on the iron teeth of the flat iron, and threw them on the haystack nearby. Then he calmly replied, "There are evolved wolves in my territory, and they have been cleaned up. You plan to use them in February this year." How many acres of land are planted in the territory?”

Tang Huai immediately replied, "Twenty acres, all planted with wheat."

Wen Nengjie hurriedly answered, "If twenty acres of wheat are planted, we can harvest tens of thousands of catties of wheat. Brother Huai, do you have any extra wheat seeds? I would like to exchange a few catties with you."

Tang Huai chuckled, "If there were seeds, would I only plant twenty acres of wheat?"

Wen Nengjie was speechless now. The lords were not short of land now, but they were short of high-quality grain seeds. Of course, Wen Nengjie could buy wheat seeds from the Territory Management Department, but the quality of the yellow-light rapeseed sold by the Territory Management Department last winter was really poor, so Wen Nengjie didn't want to buy any more seeds from the Management Department unless it was a last resort.

Otherwise, it is very likely that you will not get anything out of half a year of hard work, and your work will be in vain!

You have to work early. At 6:30 the next morning, Wen Nengjie led seven people into Territory No. 3 on time. After entering the territory, he praised everything he saw. Even the grass wall in territory three was straighter and stronger than the grass wall in his own territory. Tang Huai, who was digging for insects in territory two, rolled his eyes. .

Xia Qing suddenly understood the idol's feelings, interrupted him expressionlessly, and directly designated the task area, "The uncleaned area south of this line drawn with white ash will be left to you to clean up. Brother Jie, don't let you People cross this line. There is an evolved wolf in my territory. If you cross the line and are bitten or killed by it, I will not be responsible for any snakes or other small animals caught during the cleanup process. All of them belong to you. ”

Not all areas south of the white-gray line need to be cleaned up by Wen Nengjie's team. In the flat, open area to the south, Xia Qing has used a mini-tiller to cut the grass, and asked Boss Yang to pull the grass roots from the walls that were cleaned up. The rest are uneven areas such as deserted villages and ruins, and there is no way to use machinery or The sheep boss did the work, so she hired someone to clean it up.

"Understood, don't worry, Sister Qing, we will never cross the line. We will definitely clean up this area in the south for you!" After Wen Nengjie finished speaking, he accompanied Xiaoxiao and asked, "Sister Qing, do you have any extra wheat seeds? ? The winter wheat grown in our territory has been wasted. We want to plant more spring wheat, otherwise these brothers will have to live on rations in the second half of the year. "

Xia Qing shook his head, "I planted all the wheat seeds I saved last year. This spring, I only got 30 kilograms of seeds in exchange, and I couldn't even plant two acres of land."

Xia Qing told the truth. After successfully helping the wolves drive away the monkeys a few days ago, Yang Jin helped her get 20 kilograms of green light wheat seeds from the base; last December, Tan Junjie also brought her 10 kilograms of yellow light wheat seeds from the Red Eleven base, so Xia Qing now only has 30 kilograms of seeds.

Wen Nengjie continued to ask, "Do you have any extra green lantern pumpkin seeds?"

Wen Nengjie is very good at selecting varieties. The planting requirements of green lantern pumpkin are not high, but the yield is not low. It can be used as food or vegetables, and it can be stored for a long time. Xia Qing nodded, "How many green lantern pumpkin seeds do you want to exchange?"

Last year, Xia Qing had a total of five green lantern pumpkins, each of which produced 6-10 pumpkins, and each pumpkin had 200-500 seeds, so Xia Qing was not short of pumpkin seeds.

However, many lords received pumpkin seeds from the Territory Management Department last spring, so the price of pumpkin seeds has dropped this year. The green lantern pumpkin seeds that could be sold for 20 points last spring can now only be sold for 4 points.

When he heard that Xia Qing was willing to exchange, Wen Nengjie's eyes lit up, "Can you exchange 200 seeds?"

Xia Qing agreed very happily, "Yes, I'll get you the seeds."

The reason why the seeds were given to Wen Nengjie in advance was that breeding could start in the next two days. Wen Nengjie thanked Xia Qing profusely, and after watching Xia Qing cross the white-gray line, he immediately called out to his brothers to work.

After Xia Qing handed the green light seeds to Wen Nengjie, she drove the micro-tillage machine and took the sheep boss and the sick wolf to pull fertilizer and spread fertilizer on the newly opened farmland, preparing to turn the soil and sow.

Hearing the sound of the machine, Wen Nengjie, who was weeding, stood up and looked enviously to the north.

Except for the No. 14 territory, Xia Qing's fields were the least planted, but her life was the best.

It would be a lie to say that he was not jealous, but Wen Nengjie had no crooked thoughts of robbing or stealing now.

He didn't have that ability. He just wanted to hold Xia Qing's thighs like Zhao Ze and Kuang Qingwei and live a down-to-earth life.
