Chapter 137 Everyone is Silent
"They have no money or anything now, and even food is a problem. Although we don't have any money now, we still have something to eat. Don't say too much, we won't starve to death."

"So I wonder if we can do this, let them sign the paperwork, it's not a bond, it's a permanent job!"

"We can provide food and let them take it back to eat first, but this will use their work to pay off the debt."

Yi Meng stopped talking and looked at everyone.

Quan Quanjin was the first to answer: "Daughter-in-law, you mean to let them be our long-term workers, but we are all farmers, how can we support long-term workers?"

Yin Cheng also said calmly, "I don't have an official status, and I don't have land. I'm not a wealthy family. I want to support long-term workers. If it gets out, it's not good."

Others also nodded.

Hey, they almost worked long-term jobs for rich families before, but they didn't expect to let them support long-term jobs by themselves now.

This change is more exciting than fleeing famine!
Yi Meng didn't expect this, and after thinking about it, he said: "We don't call it a long-term worker, we just say... hire someone and pay part of the salary in advance. As for the reason for hiring someone, it's easy to deal with. If we really After building a new village, people must be employed to build a house!"

"What's more, they will live in the same village in the future. If you give each other hands and do a favor, it's not really a permanent employment."

Prepayments in advance, debts paid with labor, these are not new in previous lives.

It's just that if you want to place it in this era, you need to study some details.

Everyone still didn't speak after listening.

They're a little behind.

In the end, they all scrambled to make a decision: "I think the fourth daughter-in-law's method is feasible. Now it depends on whether those people are willing. If they are willing, everything will be easy to handle. If they are not, let's think of another way."

Everyone listened to Quan Quanjin's words, it was because Quan Quanjin was capable.

And everyone is arguing for the old man's trust, not only because the old man is successful, but also because he is the oldest among them.

People in this era always have a kind of mysterious trust in older people.

Quan Quanjin didn't delay, and immediately went to the thirteen people next door and explained their decision.

Everyone was surprised when they heard it.

Do long-term work?
It's not that they haven't thought about this way out, but they just haven't thought that the people who hired them as long-term workers, like them, escaped from disaster.

In the end, Old Tongsheng was the first to express his opinion: "Success! This idea is really good. As long as you don't dislike our group of old and young, then we will do it!"

The young man who had reported the little information before was also the one with the best physical appearance among the thirteen people, and now he looked like he was in his thirties and approaching his forties.

However, he has had a hard time fleeing from famine, so his actual age must be younger than his appearance.

After listening to these words, he thought about it seriously for a while, and then said: "Benefactor, so many of us have to survive the winter without food, drink or a place to live. Let's just say that now, but What are we going to do later? We can’t always live on the food in your hands!”

"This, we will wait until the time to talk. In short, if you agree, let's do this first."

Qi Qijin also knew that it was not easy to rebuild a village: "It must be hard work to build a house or something, but think about it, even if we are assigned to those ready-made villages, can we have houses for us to live in? Good-hearted people If you don’t have enough guarantees, you can distribute them to sheds or something to keep out the wind, but what if you meet those who don’t want to take in outsiders? Are we going to kneel at the door and beg for a place to live?”

This remark silenced everyone.

No family would accept a stranger into their home for no reason.

It's fine if it's a woman, but if it's a man with a woman in his family, can it be possible to make do?

Everyone accepted the arrangement brought by Quan Quanjin.

After the decision was made, Quan Quanjin came to send the news, and everyone stopped digging and searching.

There is nothing too much, but it is still possible to give some brown rice and let those people eat the warm rice porridge first.

Thirteen people were given less than a catty of brown rice, and the porridge they cooked was less rice and more water.

But just like that, all the thirteen people burst into tears.

If it wasn't for the cold weather, they would lose the heat once they got up, and they all wanted to kneel and kowtow to express their gratitude.

"That catty of brown rice is the wayfinding stone, whether it is successful or not, it is just such a trembling."

Qi Zheng habitually wants to take two puffs of cigarettes, but there are no tobacco leaves, so he just takes two puffs of cool air into his mouth.

The aroma of rice porridge is easy to smell for hungry people.

But the wind is too strong, and when it blows to those people on the other side, there is nothing left.

The two groups finally passed the whole night in peace.

The sky was bright, and the wind and snow still did not stop, but the city gate was still open.

The officers and soldiers at the city gate wore thick cloaks, and their faces were covered with cloth scarves so that only a pair of eyes remained.

Although the weather is cold, the inspection steps have not been reduced at all. On the contrary, the inspection has become more detailed.

The other group really wanted to grab the first place, but after freezing all night, they all looked like zombies, and it took a long time to get up.

On the contrary, it is much easier for the Qi family team.

For the sake of safety, Qi Ercai asked Qi Dalang to accompany Yin Cheng with him, and took the ginseng to the front for inspection.

The rest of the people are still warming up.

Breakfast is also brown rice porridge, but it is slightly thicker than the porridge for the thirteen people.

Yi Meng followed Quan Quanjin to feed the five horses with fodder.

The fodder is also hay collected before, but Yi Meng will add some fresh vegetable leaves to it when others are not paying attention.

So these five wild horses have the best relationship with Yi Meng. When they saw Yi Meng, they were all so well-behaved as if they had been raised since childhood.

Taking advantage of feeding the horses, Yi Meng said to Quan Jin: "We have a lot of chestnuts, grains, and dried meat in our team. If we open and inspect them one by one at the gate of the city, I'm afraid it will attract more attention."

"Brother Jin, I want to go to the city last, so that while everyone is not paying attention, I can transfer some of the food to the space, do you think it's okay?"

Yi Meng wanted to do this last night.

But everyone didn't sleep at night, so someone would pay attention to her when she came up together, and that's why I waited until now.

Qi Qijin nodded after hearing this: "Then I will tell everyone later that we will walk at the end. In addition, we will move all the food into the carriage so that there will be a shelter. If there is more or less, everyone will not pay attention."
