In three days, the people in the carpentry shop worked overtime to finish all the rooms.
Those rooms have been built very well. Although time is tight, there is absolutely no cutting of corners. The bed boards are very sturdy and the guardrails have been reinforced.
The upper and lower bunks do not disturb each other.
There is a curtain on each bed, and there is a lot of space inside the bed. There are boxes for clothes and a small folding table.
Lin Jinyue took a look and still felt a little dissatisfied.
I always feel like something is missing.
It is not allowed to use candles inside the bed for fear of causing fire and serious injuries.
There is no problem in installing lights, but existing lights are very expensive, and the energy-saving fuel is even more unaffordable.
The rent is only fifty cents a month, which is really not cost-effective.
Lin Jinyue thought that she had to get the electricity out quickly.
I don't know when I can unlock the generator.
There were 1,400 maids and servants willing to work for their village, which accounted for more than half of the total.
Lin Jinyue never imagined that these people would give up their monthly salary of two taels of silver and come to their village to earn a few coins a month.
But she looked at her watch and felt that being a maid in ancient times was not easy.
Being a maid also requires versatility.
Some need to be able to play the piano and sing, some need to be able to embroider and be good at needlework, and some need to be able to dance.
Lin Jinyue thinks that more people with various talents should be invited, and art performances, interest classes, extracurricular tutoring classes, and various stage performances can all be arranged.
She went there happily to prepare for talent coordination.
She felt happy when she thought that there were so many people who could help with the construction.

That night, Lin Jinyue assigned tasks to people one by one.
It certainly couldn't be done in one day, so she had made preparations for several days.
At this time, in the Yunhe Inn, the maids who had been indentured to sell themselves looked at the rooms Lin Jinyue had arranged for them with some disbelief.
They thought, how good could the conditions be with fifty cents a month?
Not to mention that this house was originally intended by Lin Jinyue to be used as a restaurant to sell things.
There is so much money to be made running a restaurant. Those masters and young masters can spend a fortune just to have a bite of food.
But Lin Jinyue rented it to them at a low price and also got them so many beautiful beds.
The people living on the first and second floors are all men. The beds have not been fully made yet, and more than half of them sleep on the floor.
The third and fourth floors were for the girls to live in. When they saw that everyone had their own private space and spacious beds, they almost couldn't hold back and several of them shed tears.
These little maids, who were fourteen or fifteen years old, were sold out as slaves when they were twelve or thirteen.
The moment their families sold them for money, they basically had no home to return to, so when Lin Jinyue asked them whether they wanted to go back to find their families or stay in Yunhe Village, no one thought about returning home.
They were not liked by their families and were sold to be maids, but they were never able to become big maids and their masters also suffered from them.
No one has ever truly cared about them.
But after arriving at Yunhe Village, several villagers took out a lot of meat to treat them.
Some villagers also enthusiastically introduced various types of jobs in the village.
There was a maid who could cook, so she was immediately assigned to the kitchen and taught to cook some simple dishes using special seasonings from Yunhe Village.
Those people didn't even think about guarding against them.
These maids, who had been living through such hard times for a long time, could no longer bear it.
The villagers are really nice.
As for the houses where they live, you can tell that the designers put a lot of thought into it and tried their best to make them sleep more comfortably.
I thought this was an excellent treatment.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a little girl suddenly came in and shouted: "Have you read the notice outside?"
The others came over and asked worriedly, "What's the notice?"
The little girl said, "It's a rule in Yunhe Village that those of us who are under 18 years old can go to school. We have free lunch in the morning and at noon, and we even have eggs! Evening meals are simple, with only brown rice cakes."
The others' eyes lit up, "This, this doesn't cost us money?"
"No, they say you're young, so you don't need to think too much. You can start making money after you turn 18. After that, you can go to school and do some light work at night. You can earn a few cents a day."
"Then can I not go?"
"Yes, but the aunts in the village all advised us not to go, saying that if we study, we will have the opportunity to become a manager and earn more money. If we have a skill, we will have more career options in the future. Besides, the writing brushes, inkstones, and paper we use for studying are all bought by the village... Oh, by the way, there is also a medical clinic. If you are interested, you can go and learn. I think those female doctors can make a lot of money collecting herbs."
Everyone's eyes lit up at once.
What kind of magical place is this village?
These people are also lucky. They don't have to serve others like before, and they are not noticed at first glance and will be taken advantage of by others.
At this time, someone asked: "Are we dreaming?"
"Hiss—it hurts, it hurts, you're worried that you're just dreaming, just pinch yourself, why are you pinching me?"
Lin Jinyue stood at the door and listened to them discussing going to school together, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously. She didn't mind the money for pens and ink. Instead, she hoped that the villagers could learn more about literacy and read more.
There is no harm in reading more books.
Besides, Lin Jinyue didn’t help them for nothing.
That afternoon, Magistrate Ding went to the county government office. It is estimated that all these things had been recorded in the files at that time, which meant that they had all been successfully settled.
Lin Jinyue received a series of system notifications just an hour ago.
[Tong: Congratulations to the host for having a population of 500. Reward: 1 surprise gift pack]
[Tong: Congratulations to the host for having a population of 1,000. Reward: 1 surprise gift pack]
[Tong: Congratulations to the host for having a population of 2,000. Reward: 1 surprise gift pack]
[System: The next stage of the population series task progress is 2358/3000. Please keep up the good work, host.]
[Master: Attention! Attention! Please improve the welfare of the territory and retain the people, otherwise there will be corresponding punishment. ]
Lin Jinyue didn't expect that there would be a punishment.
But it doesn't matter. She thinks the environment here is pretty good. She can increase the welfare benefits so that everyone can stay.
In ancient times, changing household registration was very troublesome. As long as the welfare was a little better, those people would not go through the trouble to leave.
Lin Jinyue thought about it and decided to allow these book boys and maids to go to school, with meals provided for them when they reached adulthood, and when they reached adulthood, they could either attend night school or come here when they had time.
If there is no shortage of food in the village, we can make steamed corn bread or potato stewed rice.
Afterwards, Lin Jinyue opened the surprise gift packages one by one.
It was really a surprise. This gift package really came as a timely relief.
