Chapter 217: Paying wages (1/2)



We have already started weeding here, and the next step is to build the foundation.

The old village chief was supervising the work, and Old Man Yun soon came from the city, bringing more than 20 people with him!

When these people learned that they were going to the countryside, they were not happy at first.

But when they heard that the wages for unskilled workers were 50 yuan a day, and that the experienced workers in skilled jobs were 100 yuan a day, they all rushed to get the job.

I also heard that food was provided, so for them, the more money they could save, the better, even if the food was just black pancakes.

After all, the weather is so hot, if they bring their food and wait until noon it will probably go bad.

The workshop was working non-stop. After Wang Jiaojiao had played at Lao Yun's house for a few days, the county magistrate came and picked her up in person.

Before leaving, Yun Nian'an specially brought a lot of food for Wang Jiaojiao, most of which were things Wang Jiaojiao had eaten before.

The county magistrate was delighted to see his daughter playing with the little princess.

A month later, one of the factories was almost completed.

Yun Nian'an changed his mind and decided to build this factory first, set up the production line and make some money, and then build another large factory slowly.

When the silver was distributed today, Yun Nian'an got up early in the morning and asked Old Man Yun to go to the city to exchange it for a box of copper coins.

Yun Nian'an stood next to his father's mouth. Yun Laosan took the name written by Ma Youcai and took a look at it. Ma Youcai was called by the old village chief to help.

Ma Youcai took the list from Yun Laosan and began to read it out. The first person whose name was called came forward.

Ma Youcai: "It's 50 taels a day for 30 days, a total of 1,500 taels, or one and a half taels of silver. Take it."

One and a half taels of silver were placed in front of the man, and his name was pointed at, asking him to press his fingerprints.

The man first pressed his fingerprint excitedly, then took the one and a half taels of silver on the table in his hand, trembling with joy.

It would be great if after the factory is built, we could work in it for a long time, and the family would no longer have to worry about their livelihood.

Ma Youcai saw that the man couldn't stop being happy, but he didn't leave.

He looked at the man and said, "Uncle Zhang, you have received the money, so just give the seat to someone else."

The man called Uncle Zhang glanced at Ma Youcai and then realized, "Yes, yes, yes, I was just too excited."

After saying that, he quickly stepped aside.

Ma Youcai continued to read out the next person's name until he had read out the names of all the villagers, and each person received one and a half taels of silver.

Next came the turn of the small workers from the county town, and finally the masters who came from the county town.

The skilled worker was paid twice as much as others, and everyone was very happy when they got three taels of silver.

Yun Nian'an saw that everyone had received their wages and spoke up, "My dear uncles, let's first cap the factory, and then we'll have to recruit workers.

We will slowly build another, larger factory.”

Everyone became very motivated when they heard this, and that day Grandma Yun even gave the workers a lot more food.

There were braised pork, braised fish, stewed chicken with potatoes and some stir-fried vegetables. Everyone's mouth was drooling after eating. These men who came from the city stayed in several deserted houses in the village for a month, but they gained weight in just one month.

It was visibly that the workers had gained a lot of weight, especially Lao Yun, whose food was so delicious that the workers had never eaten such delicious food before.
