Most of the work in the project involves hard labor, such as digging ponds and building walls. As long as there are enough strong laborers from the village, the construction period will be faster.
Without knowing how many people could come from Maolin Village, Li Da and his colleagues did not dare to make any rash predictions about the construction period.
Zhong Jiajun continued, "Because we have people from your village helping out, it's hard to calculate the construction period, but the more people there are, the faster it will be. As for our wages... because we have people from your village helping out, it's hard to calculate. If we only look at the parts that require technical skills, it'll be around 100 taels."
Lin Mo nodded slightly, then said: "To be honest with you guys, I plan to get married as soon as this new house is built, so I hope the sooner the better.
I am not sure how many people can come from the village, but for technical convenience, your two teams will be the leaders. I will give you two teams 200 taels of wages each.
The villagers will be paid separately, and the construction period will be accelerated. They will be provided with lunch every day and will start work the day after tomorrow."
Lin Mo calculated in his mind that two hundred taels was not a lot. There were not many tools for building houses in this world, and stones, bricks, tiles and even soil had to be carried by hand.
There were 27 people in the two construction teams, and if divided equally, each person would only get about seven or eight taels of silver, which is about two taels of silver per month.
Li Da and the others were all stunned. This price was undoubtedly very generous.
Although the structure of this house is complex and the design is relatively novel, the craftsmanship is not too difficult and it can be completed with some effort.
The two teams divided the money equally, and each person could get 700 to 800 taels. The construction period was conservatively estimated to be three months. All in all, this project was definitely the most profitable one they had ever taken on.
Several of them showed joy on their faces and nodded in agreement.
Lin Mo smiled with satisfaction: "Then please arrange to start work on time the day after tomorrow. If you have any questions about the drawings, you can ask me at any time. Be sure to build it according to my ideas."
"Okay, Boss Lin is a generous man. We will do our best to build this house for you. I, Li Da, can't say it will be flawless, but it will definitely be perfect."
"Don't worry, Boss Lin, we will definitely start work on time the day after tomorrow."
After putting away the tools, several people patted their chests and gave Lin Mo a promise.
Lin Wu frowned and wanted to speak several times but was too embarrassed to do so due to the situation. His face turned red but he could only look at Lin Mo with a blank expression.
"Brother Xiao Wu, I'm sorry to bother you with the materials. We'll dig the foundation the day after tomorrow, and then we'll discuss what materials we need."
Lin Wu was hesitant to say directly that the wages were too high. He believed that whatever his third brother did would be successful, so he could only nod his head repeatedly, but he was always thinking about the wages.
"I'll discuss the materials with the two elder brothers later. I'll start with recruiting people in the village."
Seeing that Lin Wu was distracted, Lin Mo had no choice but to greet Li Da and the others before sending them off.
"Okay, Boss Lin, we'll leave first. The ox cart is still waiting at the village entrance. See you the day after tomorrow."
"Boss Lin, goodbye."
After packing up their tools, Li Da and his group left in a hurry. Maolin Village was not very close to the town, so if they didn't leave now, they would have to grope in the dark.
After seeing them off, Lin Wu, who had been stunned for most of the day, immediately exclaimed, "Third Brother! How big a house are you planning to build? Why do you need so much money? That's hundreds of taels!"
When he heard the three hundred taels, he was so frightened that only those few words remained in his mind.
He frowned, biting his lips until they were raw. "I still haven't figured out how much they make a day, how come they want two hundred taels? That's enough to buy a small house in town!"
When Lin Mo took out thirty taels of silver and gave it to Lin Sheng a few days ago, he was already very shocked. He felt that their Lin family had suddenly become one of the richest families in the village.
Now, the labor cost for building a house alone is two hundred taels. If you add in the materials, bricks, tiles, furniture, and meals, how much will it cost in total!
no!
Lin Wu looked constipated. He didn't dare to think about it at all. He felt scared when he thought about it. How much money did his third brother make on this trip?
He actually spent several hundred taels at once!
"Don't worry, I have money!" Lin Mo said jokingly, looking at Lin Wu's painful expression.
I had to explain: "We will live in this house for the rest of our lives, so we have to make it better. Besides, there are so many people in our family.
When you get married in the future, you should definitely build a bigger house to avoid the hassle of adding to it later."
Lin Wu blushed, glared at Lin Mo, and said unhappily, "Why would you marry a wife? Besides, no one would be interested in me."
Lin Mo looked at his awkward look and felt amused. It was not the case before, but I am afraid that many people will be eager to marry him in the future.
Village chief Liu was the one who was really frightened and he hasn't recovered yet.
He watched Lin Mo dealing with those big men with openness and experience, his brows full of calmness, his whole temperament outstanding, completely different from his previous sickly appearance.
Lin Mo has changed a lot now. He exudes a sense of oppression that only a superior can have. His tone and attitude exude confidence from the inside out.
"San... Sanlang, you didn't do anything harmful outside, did you?"
Liu Da felt a little nervous. The last person who made him feel this way was the county magistrate and a hunter who settled in the village.
The hunter had been away longer than Lin Mo, for two years, and had made a fortune when he came back. Everyone in the village thought he had made his money through business, but as the village chief, he knew more than others.
The hunter went out and became a bandit. He didn't join bandits, but set up his own business. After two years, he returned to the village.
He was filled with murderous aura, and no one dared to approach him. Liu Da even suspected that he must have killed many people...
Lin Mo: ...
"Uncle Liu, if I had done something illegal, how could I dare to build a house so blatantly?"
Lin Mo scratched his head awkwardly and continued, "I'm working with the Xinrui Restaurant in town. The restaurant owner found this construction team for me. Don't worry, they're capable of anything except breaking the law."
Liu Da also pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. It was true. After the hunter returned to the village, he hardly dared to leave again.
If Lin Mo had really done something shameful, he would not have openly hired workers to build a house.
! !
No! So, Lin Mo earned a few hundred taels on his own!?
"What's wrong? Uncle Liu, you change your expression so quickly!" Lin Mo raised his eyes and saw the village chief's eyes as big as Tongling, and was suddenly startled.
"Oh my god! You...so, you earned a few hundred taels by yourself!!"
The village chief's shout shocked the villagers who had just dispersed. For a moment, the news that Lin Mo had made a lot of money spread quickly throughout the entire Linjia Village like the wind.
Tonight, Linjia Village is destined to be turbulent.
