Chapter 14: Openness
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have gathered you here today because I have something to announce. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yu De said loudly after telling Zhou Yu that everyone had arrived.
The wheat field is very large, and there are large stacks of straw piled up at the back. It's not too cold to stand here. But the wind outside was a little strong, and Zhou Yu had to shout loudly, otherwise, the people behind would not be able to hear it.
Although there are 16 households, there are many people in each family, and even children as young as six or seven years old come and run around. It's a lot more lively. Like catching up with the market.
Never before had there been so many people, and there was no place for it. It's just a matter of making it up.
Hearing Zhou Yu's shout, most of the people fell silent.
"You should know that from now on, I will take over a hundred acres of land to the north. And you are all tenants of this 100 acres of land. I need to tell you about my plans. Zhou Yu looked around, and saw that he was listening to her, so he continued, "Yu De will be the new steward of this hundred acres of land, equal to other stewards." ”
This sentence exploded in the crowd, some were surprised, some were puzzled, and even more jealous of Yu Cheng and Yu Facai.
"Yu De, if you let the head of each family come forward, I can save some effort." Zhou Yu shouted just now, and after only a few words, he felt uncomfortable.
"Okay." Yude nodded with absolute respect.
The execution is good. Zhou Yu saw that Yu De quickly put the heads of each family in front, and nodded secretly in his heart.
"I plan to manage this 100 acres in a unified manner and build a manor, which will no longer be distributed to each household. If you want, you can come to my manor and work, well, even if you work, long or short. Of course, I will not be paid less than your own income from renting seeds. In the future, I will also set up a grain store, and I will also need manpower. Those who wish to work in the grain store can also be given priority to you. ”
Yes? The crowd was in an uproar again.
"Miss Dongjia, how do you calculate the wages for the long-term and short-term jobs you mentioned?" Someone in the crowd asked.
"Yude, tell everyone." Zhou Yu intends to let Yu Deliwei. I had told him all these things before.
When Yu De heard this, he understood what Zhou Yu meant, and he raised his head and pretended to be very high. After all, I haven't done anything in charge. All he could think of was what Yu Jiji usually looked like. Fortunately, Yu Ji's appearance in front of people is still passable.
"Long-term workers are settled on a monthly basis, and male workers are 1,000 wen per month, which is one or two silver; Female workers are 800 wen per month. Those who have worked for one year will be paid twice the salary at the end of the year. Half-monthly settlement for short-term workers, 30 wen per day for male workers; Female workers are 24 wen per day. Yu De said it simply and bluntly.
Soon someone settled the small account. How much can you earn a year by renting five acres, and how much can you earn by changing it to work now.
Most people heard 1,000 wen a month, one tael of silver. You don't need to calculate, it must be cost-effective. If you rent your own seeds, you have to bear the rent, and the rest is grain, and you can make rations directly. But it was impossible to sell it for 12 taels of silver. 12 Taels of silver is not only for the food of a family, but it is also the wages of one man.
When I go out to work, I go to the city to look for it when the farm is not working. And generally only men go to find it. Women are largely unemployed. A man in the prime of life earns only 20 wen a day. This is the highest, and the low one is 15 Wen. If you don't do it, others will rush to do it. The worst part is that when you go to the city, you have to leave everything behind at home.
And at Miss Dongjia's place, the salary is high and it is close to home. There is no delay on either side.
This kind of good thing, who doesn't want to catch it quickly. Although the algorithm is different, the result is the same. Almost everyone wanted to be the first to express their thoughts, but there was some scruple that no one spoke.
Zhou Yu looked at the expressions of these people, and knew that they would basically choose to work long hours with her. That's what she wants, too. Therefore, the modern method of retaining hometown people, not having to go out to work, and working at the doorstep, focuses on high wages to attract them.
"This matter is not in a hurry, there is one more thing now, Yu Chengjia, Yu Fa Jia, you don't need to participate. You don't need me to say anything, you can find another land for you from the machine manager. ”
There are always some changes in the land lease every year, so Zhou Yu is not worried that they will not have land to plant. For people he doesn't like, Zhou Yu doesn't want to be wronged and endure it, but he won't kill them all, after all, they haven't done anything unforgivable.
Yu Cheng and Yu Facai were stunned and their families. Just now they have calculated, how much money can the family make, if the thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-grown can also support one person, the income will be even more. As a result, halfway through the dream, it turned into a nightmare. Yu Cheng and Yu Facai were weak-hearted, knowing that what they were doing might have been known by Miss Dongjia. dragged the family away.
At this time, an old man and a young man in the crowd walked up to Zhou Yu and gave a salute.
Zhou Yu looked over, and the older man was about fifty years old, with a slightly curved back and gray hair. The gray clothes he wore were patched a lot. The young one was about thirteen or fourteen years old, thin and weak, dressed in blue, and a little white from washing, but fortunately clean and tidy.
"Miss Dongjia, my name is Yu Fugui, and this is my grandson Yu Guangzong. I would like to ask, is there an age limit for long-term workers? ”
"This," Zhou Yu didn't think about it, and looked at Yu De, "Is there a limit to recruiting workers in the city?" ”
"Men are generally only recruited in the city, but that's because they're looking for heavy jobs. They do the work in our field every year, so it shouldn't be a problem. Yu De obviously wanted to help the grandfather and grandson.
Yu Fugui and Yu Guangzong also cast a grateful glance after hearing Yu De's words.
"Well, that's fine. Do you want to work long hours? ”
"Yes, yes." Yu Fugui said excitedly.
"May I ask you how old you are?" Zhou Yu was just curious.
"I'm 50 years old and my grandson is 15."
Zhou Yu nodded. Yu Fugui looked more than 50 years old, while Yu Guangzong looked less than 15 years old. Life at home is not very good. However, it doesn't look like the two of them are sick. And it is impossible for Yude to let two people who are not in good health stay.
Someone started, and the others couldn't wait to come forward and surround Zhou Yu.
As soon as Zhou Yu saw this posture, his head was big. Hurry up and let Yu De step forward, sign up or something, and go directly to Yu De's house to report.
There is no suspense that fourteen households are willing to do long-term work. Some families have children between the ages of 10 and 14 who are also half-working. Naturally, boys are counted as half male workers and girls as half female workers.
When Yu De reported to Zhou Yu, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Dongjia, when they signed up, I said that Miss has set the rules, if anyone is lazy and slippery, she will no longer hire anyone in the future." What you didn't say is that I wanted to let them have a scruple first, and they didn't dare to think about it. ”
"Oh?" Zhou Yu thought for a moment, "Your intentions are good, I don't blame you." If there is something in the future, we will try to discuss it first, and set the rules first, so you don't have to be embarrassed. ”
"Yes."
"By the way, it's very difficult for the rich grandchildren's family, right? What's with? After finishing business, Zhou Yu thought of the pair of grandchildren.
Yu De is very clear about the affairs in the village.
It turned out that Yu Guangzong's mother died early, and his father Yu Shan was too sad and couldn't afford to get sick, so the family gave Yu Shan medicine with a little money.
"Alas, it's not easy to have a sick person at home!" Yu De thought of his home and sighed.
Zhou Yu also thought of Yu De's sick mother at home, this matter, wait a little longer.
Because sowing seeds is also a very urgent matter, Zhou Yu did not delay much time here, the personnel was set, and he soon entered the manor business mode.
