207 Don’t show off when doing good deeds

When Liu Kuan returned to the village and greeted him like this, the villagers in Taohua Village became excited. This year's food harvest was short, and every household was worried about food taxes and their livelihood next year.

At this time, Xin Zhengtai was building a workshop. Not only was he paid every day for work but also took care of food. In the later period, it was agreed that each family would receive 9 cents per catty, and each family would receive up to 6 catties of ground eggs. This amount was 54 taels of silver!

So everyone in Taohua Village, almost every household, went into battle. Basically, they were divided into two groups. They were cleaning up their own dry land to plant potatoes, and going to Liu Kuanna to report to work in the workshop.

Liu Kuan's wife invited several women to set up six large pots and stoves outside the village chief's yard, preparing to cook a daily lunch for the men at work.

Later, Songbu Ya was also dragged to the "battlefield" by his wife, driving a carriage into the city to buy seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and half a fan of pork, and then took Xin Wan to find a deserted place to take it out from the space. A cart full of grain, vegetables, onions, ginger, etc. arrived at Liu Kuan's house.

When the people in the village looked at these things, many poor people's eyes turned red, and even half-grown men were dragged to Liu Kuan to beg for work, just for a meal for free.

They were all fellow villagers from the same village. Xin Wan promised that as long as he could work and was not lazy or cheating, he would be paid. Naturally, the wages could not be compared with the main labor force, so Liu Kuan could control it himself.

Although the people in the village knew that Xin Zhengtai had built a workshop, everyone knew where Xin Zhengtai got the money. It must be Xin Wan, his niece, who was supporting him.

Immediately, every household was talking about Xin Wan, wishing that every family could have a niece as capable as Xin Wan.

As for those who have daughters at home, they either look at their useless daughter with raised eyebrows, or they look at their young and ignorant daughter and hope that she will have a great future.

In short, choosing a land and applying for the title deed was the simplest thing. After two days of busy work, the manpower recruitment was almost complete. The big craftsmen hired from the city were also in place. About 100 people from Taohua Village and surrounding villages went to the construction site in great force.

The men stretched their arms to work, some went up the mountain to cut wood, some took the guys to chisel stones, the older ones dug trenches, and the half-year-old children went to the river beach to pick up small stones and came back to build the courtyard wall for the workshop.

The large-scale construction projects in Taohua Village at this time naturally alarmed many people in the surrounding villages. When someone knew that the Xin family had built a workshop, they felt curious and came to join in the fun, because the people working in Taohua Village and neighboring villages stayed close to each other, and those who were farther away came later. Those who didn't sign up could only look on with envy.

This year, the entire city of Wucheng has a food shortage, so every household is worried about their livelihood.

A single workshop in Taohua Village allowed more than 100 people to earn a sum of money without leaving home at this juncture, and the generous supply of one lunch a day made Xin Wan's good reputation instantly spread throughout the country.

Most of the farmers in the same village help with the construction work for free. Those who help when the house is completed can only have a good meal with good wine and food. No one can guarantee that there will be weddings and funerals. If no one helps, one will delay the work, and two If you have an ugly face, it proves that you are not popular.

Every household lives a similar life, living on a tight schedule, and no one has the courage to really get paid.

Therefore, the people in Taohua Village were very grateful to Xin Wan. After all, everyone knew in their hearts that Xin Wan was helping everyone overcome difficulties and did good deeds without being ostentatious.

Think about it. In a few months, every household in the village will be able to earn dozens of taels of silver by selling a few kilograms of ground eggs, and the seeds of the ground eggs will be provided by others.Not only do you not have to worry about food taxes this year, nor do you have to worry about getting through the winter, but you can also spend enough money on next year's seeds, etc., and you can even make a fortune.

Therefore, the villagers in Taohua Village were telling Liu Kuan that they would not be paid for their efforts in building the workshop. Xin Wan finally thought about it. It would be a good thing if people in a village could really help each other. After all, not all good deeds will be remembered by others. , since she doesn’t want to take advantage of her, she shouldn’t pretend to be fat.

The most these people can earn from building a house is more than 1 tael of silver. Although it is a lot, it is not enough to help them survive this winter.

It's better to provide three meals a day, and work for nearly a month to replenish the bodies of these people.

So there were three more stoves outside the wall of Liu Kuan's courtyard. Several women were very busy all day long. They had three meals a day of rice, flour, fish, shrimp and meat. They had enough to eat. Many people who are living a hard life shed tears while eating.

The boss is so benevolent that they feel shameless if they don't work hard!

The old people in the village and the children who come to help are all responsible for the food, so almost the entire Taohua Village, in addition to ensuring the work of their own land and eggs, is helping to build workshops, and Xin Wan is here to eat for the whole family for a month. People can also save a lot of food!

"Madam is really amazing. Although these people work hard, Madam's food is really accruing virtue." Liu Kuan sat on a big rock and said with emotion.

This farmer has been working hard for a year, and even during the New Year, he may not be able to eat as well as he does now. Madam is kind, and the master is really lucky to meet such a beautiful and caring girl!

Naturally, Liu Kuan didn't want to do the work himself. Just managing these hundreds of people would be exhausting him to death.

Fortunately, Xin Wan gave him an idea. Teams of ten people, with one team leader for each team. Each team would be distinguished by cloth strips of different colors tied on their arms, and then their work would be divided, only for the team leader. It is easier to manage by delegating tasks.

In this way, he didn't have to speak to a hundred mouths when something happened. As long as he explained it clearly to the team leader, it saved a lot of trouble and time of bickering. The grateful Liu Kuan said that he had been enjoying himself for so many years and could go back to Bingxiao Palace. Reinvented!

In late autumn and early winter, Taohua Village was engaged in a lively construction project. The whole village worked hard to build a large workshop covering an area of ​​more than six acres in a month.

The tall houses have green bricks and green tiles, and the wide walls are made of sand, gravel and sharp pebbles.

The front yard of the workshop adopts the pattern of a quadrangle, with the reverse seat reserved for the houses of vigil and death contract slaves.

There are four rows at the back, each with eight spacious rooms, and a long courtyard five meters wide.

Each room has large windows with good lighting, and is equipped with outlines, operating tables, cabinets, etc. according to the needs of each link. Naturally, these carpentry works were kindly provided by Li Yuan;

Not only that, when he was building the workshop, he came over to help in person, even leaving the shop business aside. The woodwork needed was made by his subordinates because it was simple to make. This made Xin Wan feel a kind of mutual help and unity among the big family. the power of.
