Lin Jinyue comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry. Typhoons are more frequent in the first half of the year. Don't worry. There are still two months before the summer. It will be in time to build a house after the summer."
Lin Fugui breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Jinyue continued: "My family built the house so early because I wanted to quickly make a prototype. If those rich young masters take a fancy to the house, you can go over to do the construction and make a lot of money."
Lin Jinyue remembered something and looked at the twenty people including Wang San. "You guys, sell your indentures for fifteen taels of silver. We'll talk about the wages when the time comes. When you earn enough fifteen taels, I will return the indentures to you. You can stay in our village or go somewhere else if you want."
Wang San and others' eyes lit up.
Not to mention how much the monthly salary is, after coming to Linjia Village, their life is better than when they were farmers in their original village.
No one whipped them to work. Lin Jinyue even asked her father to cook more meat, seafood and pork offal, saying that they would be provided with meals while they worked on the construction.
They think that if they can have a good meal every day, they are already the best of the family.
What did Lin Jinyue say?
They still have hope of regaining their freedom!
With Lin Jinyue's words, they started working hard at a very fast speed.
A few days ago, Lin Jinyue had asked a blacksmith to make a water tank, which was connected to the flush button of the toilet. With a single press, water would flow out and flush into the sewer.
This way, you don’t have to clean the toilet every day.
Lin Shucheng looked at the toilet and was very satisfied. He said happily, "In the future, when you don't come home, we can also use the toilet."
Lin Jinyue glanced at the toilet and felt a little regretful: "It would be nice if there was an electric light. There is a silver mirror in the toilet. It is not convenient to light a candle at night. And there is a water tank. Someone has to fetch water every day. It would be more convenient."
Jiang Yun on the side said: "Be content, now we can fix the sewer and build a flush toilet, which is already very good."
Lin Shucheng said: "Dad has plenty of strength, and I will make sure that the water tank will not be empty."
Lin Jinyue said, "Let's go to the farm when we go back home. It's more convenient there, so Dad won't be too tired."
Lin Shucheng felt relieved by these words.
It took the villagers three days to dig the sewer.
All the able-bodied men in the village who had no work came out together.
This time, Lin Jinyue also took the opportunity to build a toilet in Xi'an. Without saying a word, the villagers who could spare the time came to help.
The sewer was repaired in three days.
There is also a septic tank that is used to make fertilizer, but it does smell a bit.
But the villagers don't mind. They need to farm and they wish there was more fertilizer.
Nowadays, every household knows the benefits of fertilizers and is rushing to use them.
The construction of houses and toilets in Yunhe Village is in full swing, and several shops in Shawan County are also doing good business.
It’s just a grocery store. I saved up for three days and sold out all the things in half a day.
There aren't many types of goods.
Every time those people who opened shops in Shawan County came back, they would basically say, "Erya, another customer came to ask, when will the coconut oil and soap in the grocery store be available?"
Lin Jinyue didn't expect that the purchasing power of the people in such a small Shawan County was so strong?
Isn’t it said that Lingnan is a wild and desolate place?
This matter also reached the county magistrate.
Ga Ruiming was still a little curious about what it was that made people in the whole city rush to get it.
Upon asking, it turned out that it was Lin Jinyue and the others who did it.
Lu Ruiming decided to go to Shawan County in person to see if he could find anything good that could be used in the military camp.
Just consider it as Shawan County’s token of appreciation to the soldiers.
In the past, Gu Ruiming would definitely not have been able to come up with this money.
Lingnan is indeed a wild place.
But things are different now.
Ever since Lin Jinyue opened a shop in Shawan County, people in Gu Shao’s military camp have bought a lot of things.
How could we buy so much if we didn’t just rely on these people from Lingnan?
After Yunheji's reputation spreads, people from Guangcheng and Yunmeng County will come here. When the boat arrives, they have to pay to dock at the pier, and they also have to pay to stay in the inn.
Not to mention, the taxes for the past two months have more than doubled compared to the previous half year.
Ga Ruiming wanted to make political achievements and benefit the local people, but he was restricted financially and could not do anything.
To him, Lin Jinyue is his bread and butter.
He never expected that such a small shop could generate so much tax revenue.
By the time Lu Ruiming arrived at Lin Jinyue's place, it was already afternoon.
After arriving, Lu Ruiming was completely shocked.
It had only been a short time since he last came here, but he saw that a tall building had been built on flat ground, and it could even be secured with bamboo?
There are also those pig pens and rabbit sheds that are being built...
Ruiming was wearing casual clothes today, and everyone in the village was in a hurry, so they didn't even notice the county magistrate coming.
Ruiming looked around and walked to a higher place, only then could he see the entrance to this small village.
It seemed as if every area had already been arranged with a location, including a place to live, a place to grow vegetables, and even a workshop further away. All had been arranged.
This is not the case in ordinary villages.
Last time I came here, there were already schools and clinics, but this time they even built a temporary bamboo house, saying it was a school for adults.
Lu Ruiming is always shocked every time he comes here, as each time the place is very different from the last time.
It is hard to imagine that this group of people are refugees from the north. Two months ago, they were still ragged and almost fought with Chen Dawei for a piece of land.
In just two months, every household raised chickens, planted crops, and opened shops that became famous throughout Lingnan.
Ruiming couldn't help but sigh.
As he walked, Ruiming came to the river.
Two men were squatting by the river, chatting and washing clothes.
Lu Ruiming just thought this scene was really strange, whose man was doing the laundry?
He felt curious and walked over.
Gu Ruiming asked: "Why do men do the laundry in your village?"
The blacksmith said, "It's not that only men wash clothes, but today I'm taking a break and my wife is busy in the workshop, so I thought I'd wash the clothes while I have time."
The same thing happened to another person.
Lu Ruiming just thought that this group of people was really strange.
Seeing that he was puzzled, the blacksmith said, "Brother Lin said that you can't ask your wife to do everything for you. Life is about supporting each other."
Another young man also said: "Lin Youfu in our village always wants his wife to do everything for him. He also always criticizes Erya and thinks that women should be the most powerful. Not only did they get divorced, but they were also driven out of the village."
Lu Ruiming remembered that a few days ago Lin Shucheng brought people to submit a document for establishing a female household.
He smiled and said, "I am narrow-minded."
Lu Ruiming just thought this group of people were amazing.
But he was soon attracted by the pancreas in the man's hand.
The blacksmith was holding a stained sweat towel, which was gray and stained. Ruiming thought it was that color.
Unexpectedly, the blacksmith rubbed it with soap and it soon turned beige.
Gu Ruiming was stunned. "What is this? Is it so magical to wash clothes?"
