Chapter 846 Switch Over

The old man was overwhelmed. "I know, I know. How come you talk more than your mother at such a young age?"

This place is not far from home, so Zhou Guo left with peace of mind.

I went to the escort agency first.

The escort agency was busy delivering fertilizers to various companies throughout the spring. As a result, its reputation became known, and after the spring, the number of orders submitted increased sharply.

The original dozen or so people were not enough, so Dapang recruited more than ten people, and now it is barely enough.

Seeing Zhou Guo and his friends coming, Big Fatty led the remaining people in the escort agency to greet them and asked happily, "Why is the master here?"

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I came to see you. Are there just a few of you?"

Big Fatty said happily, "Yeah, the others have all gone out to work."

Zhou Guo flipped through the account book and saw that the escort agency had been thriving over the past six months and was doing better and better.

She looked at Da Pang and asked, "Are you used to the escort agency?"

Big Fatty nodded, "It's a habit."

Zhou Guo nodded, "Do you like doing this?"

No matter how slow Fatty was, he realized something was wrong, "Master, just tell me what you want to say."

Zhou Guo asked, "I'm asking if you like doing this? I transferred you here without asking you. Do you have any thoughts?"

Da Pang said, "Master, what can I think? I was just a beggar. If we hadn't met you, we would have died somewhere long ago. I am happy to do anything you ask me to do."

Zhou Guo frowned, "I asked you if you like doing this? Why are you talking so much nonsense to me?"

Big Fatty said, “I like it.”

Zhou Guo's brows relaxed, and he heard him say, "I like whatever the master asks me to do, whether it's managing the manor or being the manager of this escort agency, I like it."

Zhou Guo: “…”

He sighed and said, "How about this? I'll let you go to Huaiyang to be the village head temporarily and replace the bald head. What do you think? Don't force it."

Big Fatty said cheerfully, "Master, I am willing to change. Please change Brother Baldy. His personality is not suitable for staying in the manor. He can't stay there."

Zhou Guo said, "You have to think it over. If you don't want to change, then don't do it. If you do, Baldy will not want to switch over. If I can't find someone to take over, you will have to stay there."

Big Fatty nodded solemnly, "I know. Huaiyang is close to Huaishan, and the matter is of great importance. This village head is more important than ordinary people, and it must be one of our own. I am willing to stay there."

He felt that it was quite nice to stay on the farm. It was such a big farm and he was the only one in charge of everything. How great was that.

He will surely be able to manage the manor to prosperity and make more money than the escort agency!

Seeing that he really had no intention of being reluctant, Zhou Guo said, "Okay, I'll send someone to send a letter and ask him to come over. You must hand over the accounts clearly when the time comes. Once the accounts are handed over clearly, you can change positions."

Dapang should be, in fact he is still very happy.

The boss of this escort agency only comes a few times a year, and even if he does, he will leave within two hours.

But the farm in Huaiyang is different. It is related to farming and they make several trips a year. It is much more important than this escort agency.

Huaiyang, when Laizitou got the news, he was so happy that he went crazy, holding the letter and laughing. He no longer had to stay in this desolate village and had to go out all year round. He could be a escort leader. The boss really understood him so well, he liked being an escort leader!

More likable than the bandit leader!

He then called the deputy village head over, explained some things to him, and then packed up and left.

Zhou Guo walked around Chengding and then went to take a look at the farm.

This manor was originally managed by Hu Zi. Not only did he have to take care of the affairs of the manor, he also had to take care of Tanghe and the affairs of the escort agency.

Now the escort agency is on the right track, everything in Tanghe can go according to plan, and a new head of the village has been found. We will leave after everything is arranged.

The village head followed her respectfully and answered all her questions. He knew exactly how many fruit trees were planted on each hill and what kind of trees they were.

I'm not going to say that he knows everything about Zhuangzi, but he knows a little bit about it, and it seems that he has put in a lot of effort.

Things during this period were arranged in an orderly manner, and the fertilizers required by the major households were distributed from large to small according to past practice. Only some small things were not done well.

But how long can he be the head of the village? As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, small mistakes are not a big deal. Who can guarantee that he will not make mistakes in his entire life?

Hu Zi also breathed a sigh of relief. If this person was not useful, he would have to come back.

Zhou Guo looked around at several mountains. All the fruit trees planted last year were alive. Some apple trees had blossomed this spring, with sparse fruits on them, not many. There was only one basket on each mountain.

She looked at the fruits and smiled, "This money is worth spending. I didn't expect that the fruits would start to grow in the second year after I planted them last year. Although there are not many, I will be able to pick a few baskets in the fall."

Who made the mountain have so many fruit trees?

The village head said, "Yes, after the fruits were hung, I had people watching them and thinning them out. Now the branches are too small, and each branch can only hold one or two fruits. If there are more, the fruits will not grow well."

Zhou Guo didn't expect that he could understand all this, so he asked, "Have you planted fruit trees before?"

The village head said, "I used to manage a small village, but there were not many fruit trees."

Zhou Guo said: "Work hard. There will be more and more fruit trees on our hills in the future. You have to take care of them."

The village head said happily, how could he not be happy to be valued by his boss?

After looking at the hilltop, she went to take a look at the fields. The land here in Chengding is considered to be the largest among the several villages, with almost 120 acres, and all of it is planted with rice this year.

The rice seedlings are strong and healthy, so it can be predicted that the harvest will be good.

There are a lot of ducks raised on the farm. The ducks go in and out of the fields every day, and there is little grass to be seen.

The crab pond is also good. I caught the crabs and saw that both the big and small ponds are good.

The crab farmers were separated from the village. They have been raising crabs for so many years, and now they know more about raising crabs than she does.

After visiting Zhuangzi, she went to find Tanghe.

It has been less than a month since the last project, but the progress of several plots of land still surprised her. "At this rate, can all these water conservancy projects be completed before the beginning of autumn this year?"

Tang He said: "In the past month or so, hundreds of refugees have come to the village. They will work as long as they have food to eat. If they do a good job, they can get paid. They would rather work day and night. This progress was driven by them."

I also heard that if these lands were really improved, they could rent them and cultivate them. The landlord would only charge 40% in rent, and they wouldn't have to provide seeds or fertilizers themselves. In this way, they would be like living Bodhisattvas, and good days would be just around the corner, as these lands would be theirs.

"Everyone is working like crazy every day. I told them to take a rest, but some people refused. The rains are good this year, and water has flowed into the creeks. I estimate that in a few years, the land will be restored to good condition."
