Chapter 571 Ability
Villagers from nearby villages came to the villa one after another.
There were so many people, and most of them knew each other, but at this moment no one bothered to greet or exchange pleasantries.
Everyone was nervous, wondering whether Zhuangzi's new boss would want to use them for work.
However, after being taken to the gate of the courtyard by Shen Shaojing's men and lined up, everyone was still nervous.
I couldn't help but discuss it quietly.
"Are you going into this yard later?"
"I don't know what you're doing in the yard?"
"I don't know what Zhuangzi's new owner is like."
Everyone was both worried and expectant. They had a lot of worries, but they also expected that this job was real and they could really earn twenty cents a day.
This is really important to the villagers in these villages.
"You've heard that this is about recruiting people for work."
"Are you looking for permanent workers?"
"I heard it's different from the farmhands in wealthy families. Everyone works here, but they're free and get paid after working for a month."
"You won't delay paying your wages, will you?"
"No way, the manor still belongs to someone else. I heard that this owner showed the manor's title deed to the people in the manor, confirming that he is the owner of the manor. Judging from his demeanor, he wouldn't refuse to pay the wages."
"I heard that they would sign a contract that said everyone would do the work and he would pay them. There was no need to worry about not getting paid."
"Anyway, we believe that we'll know whether we'll be paid after working for a month. Besides, if we can find a job here, we can earn 600 coins a month. With the food from the fields, our family won't have to go hungry anymore."
When someone said this, everyone nodded in their hearts, understanding that this was indeed the case.
Many people feel very excited when they think about the wages and can't wait to start working and get paid immediately.
Shen Shaojing interviewed everyone inside.
In fact, you can tell whether this person is suitable for use just by taking a quick look.
Many women also came.
Shen Shaojing asked, “Can you build a farm and do construction work?”
"Sir, I am strong and capable. I helped to build up our courtyard."
"Sir, I will not be lazy and will work diligently."
"I really need this job to get paid so my family won't go hungry."
The woman looked at Shen Shaojing almost with pleading eyes.
Shen Shaojing looked at the woman and said, "What about your man? He can also earn wages by working. When the farm and workshop are built in the future, you women can go in to work and get the same wages."
When the woman heard what the young master said, she knew that he would need someone else in the future.
They can really do things close to home.
But this month is also very important.
The woman said, "My husband twisted his ankle while chopping wood in the mountains. The doctor said it will take two months to heal."
"My son is ten years old and still young. He can't do heavy physical work yet."
Shen Shaojing looked at her and sighed in his heart, "Okay, then you stay and work. If you do a good job, I will arrange for you to look after the farm or work in the workshop."
The persimmon workshop needs some women to work because women are more careful when it comes to making food.
After the farm is built, some men can be asked to work on the farm and slaughter pigs and sheep, so as to provide ingredients for the hot pot restaurant.
The woman's eyes turned red when she heard what Shen Shaojing said.
She wiped her tears with her sleeve and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
Shen Shaojing thought, it would be better to pay everyone two days' wages first.
At least let these people have some copper coins to buy some food, and then pay the rest of their wages after the end of the month.
He originally planned to pay everyone their wages at the end of the month after they finished their work.
But he interviewed many people, and although they all looked energetic, they all looked hungry and malnourished.
If this wasn't Hezhou, he might not care so much.
But Hezhou is the place where my sister and brother-in-law want to govern.
He wanted to do his best to help his sister.
The woman walked out gratefully.
Someone at the door asked her, "Liu Shan, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Are you being bullied?"
When everyone at the door thought of this reason, they all became nervous and looked at the woman.
The woman quickly adjusted her mood. "I'm sorry to have laughed at you all. I was just excited. The young master is really nice. For construction work, he usually wants strong men to do it. He thought that as a woman, I might not be able to do such heavy physical work. He said that when the farm and workshop are ready, he will ask me to work there. The wages will be the same..."
"But, I'm anxious. The master asked about the situation and learned that if anyone in our family can go to work, it would be me. The master is kind-hearted, thinking that if at least one person in each family works and gets paid, we won't go hungry..."
The woman was very smart, and she understood as soon as Shen Shaojing's subordinates told her a few words when they brought her out.
So after I came out, I explained it to everyone.
To avoid misunderstanding.
Yes, she actually cried.
But it's really exciting.
The young master is so kind and good, he will definitely not delay paying wages.
With six hundred coins a month, the family will definitely not go hungry, and they can have a good New Year, at least they can buy some New Year's goods.
So thinking of this, the woman smiled.
When the people at the gate of the house heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that the young master was a good person, everyone felt more relieved.
They feel relieved. The boss is good, so they just need to focus on their work and don’t have to worry about anything else.
In this way, most people, Shen Shaojing used it.
However, some women look really weak, but fortunately there are men in their families who can work, which means that someone in their family can earn wages.
After arranging the people, Shen Shaojing let Lusong take charge and lead everyone to build a farm and workshop.
Shen Shaojing has also drawn the design drawings and told Lusong about them.
Let Lusong tell the carpenter when the time comes, and let them tell the people who are working on it as well.
Of course, they also signed an employment contract. The villagers didn’t understand what this meant, so Shen Shaojing explained it and everyone finally understood.
Understand that they are all free.
The contract can also protect rights and interests.
Everyone felt that the young master was different from the children of wealthy families they had met.
You can tell at first glance that the young master is a very good person.
The temperament is very noble.
In fact, since Shen Shaojing stopped doing farm work and took charge of the store, and had a career, a family, and a son, his temperament has changed a lot.
Her skin became whiter, her temperament became more noble, and her appearance also had a hint of sharp majesty.
Of course, in front of his family, he is still the one who loves to laugh.
To the outside world, he seemed to have a different kind of aura.
It's just that he didn't notice it himself.
No one left even though they passed the interview.
Of course, those who passed were all standing together and talking, with a relaxed look on their faces.
After the interviews were completed and the employment contracts were signed, Shen Shaojing asked his subordinates to pay everyone two days' wages first, and then pay everyone at the end of the month after they had worked for a month.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
The boss is so good?
Lu Song said: "Our young master has good intentions, but we are also a person who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. If anyone dares to play tricks or scheme, our young master will naturally not let them go and will directly bring them to justice."
When they heard the word "official", these people were naturally afraid.
They all expressed that they would definitely not play tricks and would do their job well.
Seeing that everyone was afraid, Lu Song offered a sweet treat, "Of course, as long as you work hard, the farm workshop will need workers, and they will use big tools. Many tasks will be much easier without much effort. Women can also do these jobs, and the monthly salary is still 600 coins."
"So work hard, the master will not treat you unfairly."
Everyone listened and nodded repeatedly, feeling very grateful.
They all understood that their place was very remote and few people came here to recruit people for work.
It is even more difficult for them to find work outside.
Now that there is such a job in front of us, so close to home and with so much pay every month, naturally no one will do anything stupid.
Everyone is thinking about working hard.
Some people were calculating in their minds that six hundred coins a month would be seven or eight taels of silver a year.
Many people calculated this way, and their hands trembled when they came up with this number.
If two or three people in a family can go to work, that would be ten or twenty taels of silver.
Everyone was so excited that some people could hardly walk.
Everyone walked towards their own village. After walking for a while, they realized what was happening and cheered happily.
"Finally, a good young man has come to our place. He has a really good heart."
"Yes, I just heard that the road here will be repaired in the future. Once the road is repaired, it will be very convenient for us to go to the capital and the dock. It will also be convenient for people from outside to come here. The road will not be bumpy anymore."
"It must have been arranged by the young master, otherwise who would care about the road construction here."
"Actually, it's not just the young master who's good. It's the new Lord Su and his wife who are good. They take care of everyone."
"But why don't you care about us?"
"We are human beings, not gods. We have to take things one step at a time. Besides, we have already reported the two acres of land we reclaimed to the government office. It has been approved and it all belongs to us. This shows that Lord Su is kind."
"Yes, yes. Moreover, when we go to the government office to do business, the county yamen runners are very polite to us and handle things quickly. In the past, their attitudes were very arrogant."
"I heard that those who didn't get things done and had bad attitudes were removed by Lord Su."
"Now, regardless of whether one has power behind them or not, as long as one truly serves the people and has the ability, one has the opportunity to become a yamen runner."
"The county government was recruiting people before, and the eldest son of the village next door was appointed as a yamen runner. He was strong and kind-hearted, and he could hunt and had some martial arts skills, so he was appointed as a yamen runner."
"In the past, if he came from the countryside, no matter how capable he was, the government wouldn't need him to work. Those with powerful connections would have already arranged for their own people to do the work. Don't forget that being a yamen runner earns a monthly salary."
"It seems to be two taels of silver."
"They are all government officials."
To ordinary villagers, yamen runners are also officials.
As everyone talked, they also talked about the good things about Lord Su and Mrs. Su.
They are also looking forward to the arrival of spring when they will be given seeds for high-yield crops.
I also hope that the land will yield a good harvest.
When the wages are added, everyone feels that life will get better.
So when everyone went back, they walked briskly and had smiles on their faces.
Especially those who could work for Shen Shaojing, each of them went back with two days' wages.
With their wages, they could buy a few pounds of mixed grain noodles. At five cents a pound, they could buy eight pounds. The whole family would eat frugally and would not go hungry.
So everyone discussed and decided to go to the grocery store to buy food the next day.
Of course, there are also people who have some food at home, so they plan to save the money and use it to buy New Year’s goods at the end of the year.
