Lin Jinyue sighed, "General Gu, how long do you think it will take for the call to come?"
Gu Shao's face was grim. "Two months at the latest. So, you really can't sell the crossbow to us?"
He hesitated for a moment, "I'm willing to pay a high price."
Lin Jinyue shook her head. "To be honest, it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust Xie Hong. I can provide various military tactics and training methods, but I can't teach you how to use crossbows and arrows."
The designs of these crossbows have been improved generation after generation, and some of the parts inside were purchased from the system mall.
That's why it has such great power.
Otherwise, it's made of wood and will wear out quickly.
Lin Jinyue didn't say anything definite, there would be many more areas in the future where she would need Gu Shao's help.
Lin Jinyue and Gu Shao signed a purchase contract, and those wealthy families also donated money to Gu Shao.
From now on, even if their village only produced things needed for the war, it would be enough for the people in their village to live on.
After the discussion, Lin Jinyue and Ding Ruiming were both very happy.
One is that there is a large number of laborers in the village again.
The other was that it was a gift from heaven. With these more than a thousand households, if he continued to develop the business, he would probably be promoted after the war was over.
Ding Ruiwen smiled and said, "Miss Lin, it's not convenient for so many of you to come. I'll go back with you to register so you don't have to run back and forth several times."
After hearing these words, Mr. Ji, Mr. Yun, Madam Liu and the others were all very surprised.
When these wealthy people went to find someone to do something for them, they would ask them repeatedly and sometimes even give gifts, but the other party might not accept the gifts.
As a result, this time the county magistrate was worried that it would be inconvenient for them, so he made a special trip in person.
Mr. Ji said hurriedly, "Thank you for your help."
Then he ordered people to row the boat back to prepare things.
Lin Jinyue said hurriedly: "Oh, no, no, I'll take the county uncle to eat hot pot, barbecue, snacks and stir-fry."
Ding Ruiming burst into laughter.
It seems this little girl knows his taste.
Soon, the matter was resolved, and everyone went to Sihailou for a meal, and Ding Ruiming went back with them.
At this time, Gu Shao began to look for people to donate money to carve the stele.
After returning to Shawan County, Lin Jinyue looked at the boatloads of people and felt a little dazed. For a moment, she didn't know whether that small commercial building could accommodate so many people.
When he arrived in Shawan County, Ding Ruiming was completely stunned.
It had only been a short time since he last came to Shawan County, and high-rise buildings were rising everywhere.
Looking from afar, he would believe it if someone said it was a county town.
In which village do every household live in several large blue brick and tile houses?
Which farmer's household hangs a long string of dried bacon in front of the house?
I smelled the fragrance of food and heard that it was a big pot of rice cooked for someone.
Wow, this big pot of rice smells so good?
The Ding County Magistrate is trying to recruit people to work in their county government.
Lin Jinyue first asked her father to entertain Ding Ruiming, while she gathered all the maids and servants who were preparing to settle down in an open space.
Lin Jinyue held a loud speaker and shouted: "Everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to me!"
"From now on, you are all members of our Yunhe Village. We do not allow people to sign contracts to sell themselves. Therefore, you can continue to choose to be employed and work for others, or you can go to our Yunhe Village workshop."
When these words were spoken, everyone below was shocked.
I originally thought that I would just change my indenture, and still have to work like a slave.
Who would have thought that I could actually leave home and find other ways to make a living.
Among the maids, only the first-class maids worked as maids. The second-class maids were paid more and served the maids.
Maids who did menial jobs basically worked like slaves, were insulted at will, and even the maids were divided into different classes.
In a family like the Ji family, the servants are all nice and have good tempers, and they won't get angry with their servants.
Even the senior maids, the maids who had the upper hand in front of the emperor's family, looked down on others and would beat and scold them at will when they were in a bad mood.
Those servants naturally want to be free, and their monthly wages are not high.
Lin Jinyue's next words were like dropping a bomb.
"In our village, the lowest-level job can earn you 600 to 700 coins a month after you get familiar with it. If you have a special skill, such as painting, embroidery, making cakes, or sweet soup... anything that is superior to ordinary people can make more money."
"You can think about whether to continue to sign the employment contract or come to our village to work. If you are not sure, you can ask the villagers about the situation."
"If you are interested in working for our village, please come here to register and see what your specialties are so that we can assign you a job."
At this time, someone asked a question: "But, but if we don't continue to be maids, where will we live?"
Lin Jinyue: "Yesterday, I asked Muyifang to make beds overnight. There may be a lot of people living in one room, about 20 to 30 people, but the room is quite big, right over there."
She pointed to a tall building not far away and said, "Everyone can make do with this for a while. When the building is completed, we can improve our dormitories."
She also mentioned that they couldn't let people stay there for free. After all, the people in the woodworking shop worked all night and they couldn't just let them stay there for free.
Lin Jinyue said, "Fifty cents a month for a bed."
Most of the maids lived in large dormitory beds, with more than ten or twenty people living together.
Everyone started to do the math in their minds. Lin Jinyue said that their restaurant provided meals and they could earn at least 600 to 700 coins a month, which was a lot that could be saved.
At that time, you can change to something better and more expensive, or you can just build a house directly.
After Lin Jinyue finished speaking, she left in a hurry. She looked for the statistics of the literate people in the village.
A few days ago, I copied a copy of the simple village rules.
If the maids were illiterate, there would be someone nearby to help them read aloud.
It's easy to get chaotic when there are too many people.
County Magistrate Ding was wandering around at the moment, and as soon as Lin Jinyue went there, she was caught and asked all kinds of questions.
Ask about the potatoes and the newly grown cotton seedlings.
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "Potatoes can be promoted, but we have to wait for a while. General Gu and I have agreed to provide them with seeds first. I am afraid that we can't provide too many seeds in the short term, so we have to wait for the next batch."
As they were talking, they heard Ding Ruiming's stomach growl.
He was really excited. Every time he came to Yunhe Village, it was like digging for treasure.
I was walking around so much that I forgot I was hungry.
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "Let's go eat something first. We can take our time. There's no rush."
The next day, various registrations began.
Some people started to register their residence, while others started to register their specialties.
Things are quite complicated.
Lin Jinyue was extremely happy.
When a certain number of people arrive, they can receive a gift package.
In just this morning, we saw 500 people register, and there were still more than 1,000 people waiting to register.
Chen Mazi and his people from the neighboring Chenjia Village also took advantage of the chaos to settle down, but County Magistrate Ding just turned a blind eye.
What they didn't expect was that a group of uninvited guests came in the afternoon.
Lin Jinyue went out and took a look, and saw that it was Xie Hong's subordinates.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and waved to the villagers: "Go do what you need to do, I'll take care of this."
