The whole family went into exile when they crossed, and evacuated the Hou's mansion all the way

Chapter 159 Dad Is Still So Selfish?

"We are willing. Mr. Yu, when do you want to start work? And when is the time to start work? After all, we have wasteland to open in our own home, and this time won't be too long."

Liu Mingxia also put the ugly words to the fore. Although Fifty Wen is in his hometown, if he hires country people to work, he can hire two, but they can't be stupid and work from morning till night, right?

"Father, I think it's better to contract out our work to them and give them a set time to complete it, so that they will naturally know how to arrange their time reasonably, and they can also take care of their own family. field."

We are all acquaintances. If someone is working as a foreigner with a salary of tens of cash per day, it will be really difficult to lose face and curse others.

When you meet a thick-skinned person, when you turn around, he may start working hard again, and you have to keep watching them work, which is also physically and mentally exhausting, which is not what Yu Luo wants.

So when Liu Mingxia raised doubts, she thought of such a compromise.

As soon as this suggestion came out, Yu Haojie's eyes lit up, but the others were dumbfounded, feeling that Yu Luo and the others were a little unkind.

But they still think that after one year, they will save dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver!

Even if you don't go back, as long as you can buy the corresponding supplies, it's okay for everyone to eat and drink here.

If the heavens open their eyes and let them go back, then the money they have saved can also become a burden after returning and confidence after returning home.

When Yu Luo opened his mouth, everyone felt that the excitement just now had lost more than half of it!

"This is a good idea, but judging from everyone's expressions, they probably don't understand what it means. Xiaoluo, please explain it clearly to them, so that everyone will not have any doubts."

“What my dad said is, let me explain it to you.

In fact, there is only so much work. After the farmer has planted it, there must be nothing to do except watering it, so it is impossible for us to pay you fifty cents a day, otherwise, your income will be cut off. .

Well, for example, if our family wants to dig a three-acre pond, the pit must be two meters deep and must not leak.As long as you can do it, after the pond is completed, our family will pay 100 taels of silver, and whoever among you participates will get it.

But digging a fish pond, in addition to the size, depth, watertightness and quality of the fish pond, we also require that it must be completed within one month. If you delay by one day, we will deduct one tael of silver, and two days of delay will deduct two taels of silver , and so on.

The rest of the land reclamation will be calculated for you based on the contract price.For example, if you open an acre of wasteland and we pass the inspection and meet the standards for growing crops, we will give you 1000 taels of silver for one acre of wasteland. If you open [-] acres of wasteland, we will give you [-] taels of silver. In this way, as long as you want to make more money, Then we need to open up more wasteland.

In addition, after the wasteland is opened, people will definitely need to plant the land, so it will be calculated on the basis of one mu of land. I will give you 200 taels of silver for planting one mu of land, and [-] taels of silver for planting [-] mu of land. No matter how many people you plant , how many people will open it, anyway, I only want the results, as long as we are satisfied with the work, and then I will pay you a lot of money, and you can divide it yourself. "

Yu Luo said a lot in one breath, and everyone listened intently, while still not forgetting to move their fingers, constantly counting, how much money each of them can get for building a fish pond, and opening a hundred acres of wasteland, How much money they can get, after a while, everyone is completely overwhelmed.

But I have to say that this kind of thing where more work and more reward is definitely not easy. Even if you want to be lazy, for the sake of money, everyone will supervise each other and there will be no chance to be lazy.

"It's too cheap, isn't it? To dig such a big fish pond, you only pay 100 taels? Based on the calculations when the villagers dug the foundation in the past, it would take ten big men two days to dig out a foundation!"

Just when everyone was wondering whether they were being exploited by Yu Junjie's family, a discordant voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at the person who spoke, including Yu Luo's father and daughter.

"Second Uncle, how much does it cost for the villagers to dig the foundation a day?"

"Twenty Wen."

Yu Liang spoke without hesitation, looking confident and confident.

"Yu Haojie nodded. Then there are about 30 big men here, and it counts as 30 yuan a day. If I pay wages, I only need to pay one tael of silver a day. It takes only [-] days to dig a fish pond. [-] taels.

The 100 taels that Xiaoluo said was generously given out for the sake of everyone's shared life and death. Besides, you don't need a month to dig out fifty big men, at most a dozen days.

Besides, after digging the fish pond, we still have to divert water. In the future, when you open up wasteland and water crops, other than getting the water from my fish pond, do you have any other place to go?
Don't be so scheming, let's just muddle along. The 100 or so of us are not the only people exiled in this barbaric land. There are many more, such as the dozen men in that stone house. Believe it or not, I gave them ten cents a day. They are willing to do the work for a lot of money, and they still want it? "

What Yu Haojie said made Yu Liang speechless, and everyone who heard it immediately panicked!
After all, in this barren land, there might be no one else except Yu Junjie who hired them.

Not to mention digging a pond for 100 taels of silver, even if it was only [-] taels of silver, it would still cost a lot of rice. Why didn't they do it?

"Dad, Brother Haojie is right. This kind of good thing was given to us because everyone came together. In fact, their little boy, according to the speed at which it digs holes, can Is it slower than us? Even if the second brother doesn't let us dig it and lets Xiao Yi dig it, the pond will be dug out sooner or later, and after the water is stored in the future, we can all still use it. "

Seeing that his father was stupid enough to be the first person and looked like he thought he was smart, Yu Shanhai couldn't help but talk to him.

When his son said this, Yu Liang had no room to refute.

"Forget it, for this kind of matter, I am too old to go to the ground anyway. You can handle it yourself."

After all, with a bit of unsettled Yu Liang on his face, he turned and left angrily with his hands behind his back.

Looking at her father's back, Liu Lan was speechless for a while!
"Dad is still so selfish. How old are you now? Why can't he go to the fields? If he can go to the fields, our family can get more money. It's true!"
