Chapter 356 Nangong Jingyan Learns Xiao Ying's Life Story
"I still get 30 wen a day for work! Add in food, wouldn't that be at least 40 wen a day?"
"Yiren has given so much and been so good to us!"
"I want to work, I want to sign up!"
"Get out of here! You little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet wants to work? Do you really think Yiren's money just comes from the wind?"
"Pleasant? May I ask if we women can also work?"
“…”
The crowd was extremely excited, and everyone, regardless of gender, age, health or illness, was talking heatedly.
Many people are concerned about whether women, the elderly and children can also go to work.
Some families have no men, and if the remaining women and children cannot work, they will not be able to make money.
Some men, however, were worried that women and children would take their jobs, and they couldn't help but glare at them.
Seeing everyone's heated reactions and many questions, Xiao Ying simply said a few more words.
"Building the new village will require a lot of workers, so everyone doesn't have to worry about not having jobs."
"Women, children over ten years old, and people under fifty-five can also work, and we will assign them lighter tasks."
"However, the wages are only 15 to 20 wen. But the food is the same, three meals a day."
"I don't recommend working if you're really weak. You can wait until you're better before signing up. We'll always be recruiting workers."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was delighted and praised Xiao Ying loudly.
"That's great! We women can also work and earn money!"
"Xiao Yiren must be a deity who has come down to earth to save us!"
"Thank you, Xiao Yiren! Our whole family thanks Xiao Yiren!"
"It's a shame that my body is so weak. I must get better as soon as possible."
"Although I'm already fifty-eight, I'm in good health and can still go to work, Yiren."
“…”
There are also some people who do not meet the requirements and want to fight for the opportunity for themselves, but are not approved.
Xiao Ying boasted that the conditions were already very lenient, and if something went wrong while the elderly and children were at work, she might be blamed instead.
She gave a few more words of encouragement and asked everyone to sign up.
Baizhi and Guanqi were responsible for registering the list, while Zisu and Moyan were responsible for checking the body to determine whether it met the requirements.
To everyone's disappointment, only over 300 people were selected this time.
The rest were either not of the right age or in poor health, and were advised to rest for a while.
Those who were not selected were extremely disappointed, but they could only obey the request and wait until they recovered.
In addition, two hundred people were recruited from Yingfeng Village.
Although some people are dissatisfied with the lower wages than last year, most people express their understanding.
After all, building a new village is extremely expensive, and Madam Xiao provides them with such good food, so the total daily wages are still close to 50 cents.
Besides, this is also considered as building a house for themselves, and they can't let Madam Xiao take care of everything.
Regardless of everyone's opinions, with these 500 people, the new village can finally be officially built!
The person in charge of building the new village this time is Chen Jie, who is also the mayor appointed by Xiao Ying.
Chen Jie is courageous and wise, and is the perfect person to be in charge of this matter.
In addition, there are three deputy managers, namely Chen Zhong, Fu Kang and Jun Shi.
Chen Zhong is familiar with all aspects of the construction, while Fu Kang and Jun Shi are Xiao Ying's eyes and ears, ensuring that nothing goes wrong.
In addition, Mingzhu and Minglu were arranged to supervise the refugees.
After all, there are too many people, and no one can guarantee that they will not cause trouble, especially stealing and harassing villagers.
Once discovered, not only will the settlement quota be cancelled, but the person will also be sent to the county government and handed over to the county magistrate for disposal.
To this end, Minglu specially selected fifteen disciples from the martial arts school, divided them into three teams, with five people in each team, to patrol for twelve hours a day.
Of course, they would not work for free. Each person would receive 30 coins per day, and if it was their turn to patrol at night, they would receive an additional 10 coins.
The selected disciples were all very excited. They had to pay tuition to study in the martial arts school, and this was the first time they made money from the martial arts school.
Chen Daniu, no, it should be called Chen Jinyong, is one of the selected disciples.
He is the one who has made the fastest progress and trained the most seriously among this group of disciples.
Although he has only studied for more than two months, his strength is already incomparable to before!
In addition, he is very strong, so he can easily beat five or six ordinary people by himself. Therefore, he was chosen as the team captain.
The other fourteen people are also quite strong, at least they can fight one against three.
If we really encounter those refugees doing bad things, we can easily catch them.
This is also a test for these refugees by Xiao Ying. If there are really any bad apples, they can be kicked out as soon as possible.
She planned to wait for a while before registering these people, and she had to confirm that Yingfeng Village could become Yingfeng Town.
Otherwise you will have to change it again later, which will be troublesome.
At the same time, we can also wait to recruit more refugees.
These refugees will have three destinations:
One is to buy a house in the town and become a resident of Yingfeng Town.
Second, if you cannot afford to buy a house but want to live in the town, you can rent resettlement housing first, but you cannot directly register your household registration in the town.
Third, they do not live in the town. At that time, the county government will allocate land nearby to them to build a village, which will become a village under Yingfeng Town.
But no matter which option is chosen, each person will be allocated one acre of wasteland for free.
However, if you want more land, you need to spend money to buy it. There is no tax on wasteland in the first three years.
In addition, refugees who choose the latter two options can get a piece of residential land for free, and the size of the residential land will be divided according to the population.
This was also the measure taken by the county government to resettle refugees.
Extending the time for household registration is also to allow these people to consider carefully.
“This meal is interesting.”
At noon, Nangong Jingyan was eating white rice with a meaningful smile on his face.
Naturally, he would not go to work, and no one in his family even signed up.
In fact, when those people signed up, Chen Jie personally invited him to the academy and temporarily placed his family there.
Chen Jie was very respectful to him. After all, he was now a juren, and the first juren in Yingfeng New Village.
Nangong Jingyan was very satisfied with this and was glad that he had made the right choice of identity.
"Sir, what's wrong with this meal?"
The maid beside her asked curiously.
It seems to taste better than ordinary rice, but that’s not surprising, right?
Nangong Jingyan just smiled and said nothing, so ordinary people certainly couldn't notice it.
This is not ordinary rice, but spiritual rice that contains spiritual energy, which is better than the spiritual rice he ate when he was practicing before.
In fact, the potatoes felt it last night, but the spiritual energy in the potatoes was too weak.
And this bowl of white rice is enough for an ordinary person to restore his spirit and strength.
"This Xiao Yiren is really willing to give up."
He felt sad that such good things had to be given to these refugees to eat.
"What a prodigal son..."
He rarely showed a look of grief and became more curious about Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying must have plenty of such spiritual rice, so where did she get it from?
"Sir, I unexpectedly heard something this morning."
At this moment, the servant suddenly spoke mysteriously.
The servant's name was Yushu. He was a very clever and talkative man who loved to inquire about news everywhere.
"Speak." Nangong Jingyan didn't care too much.
Yu Shu's eyebrows danced with joy, and he lowered his voice: "I heard that Lady Xiao is not some village woman, but the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan!"
