Chapter 244: A New Hire
Gu Xinyu didn't understand, since it was so difficult to survive here, why didn't these villagers go out?
The wasteland outside is everywhere, and it is also possible to go south, and it is said that Shouchang Castle, which is not far from Rongcheng, is very good.
She threw this question to Master Li who accompanied her, and Master Li told Gu Xinyu very seriously, no!
The Zhou Dynasty was very strict in its administration of this land, and if the person owned land somewhere, then he had to live here forever, and his land and his name were recorded, as was his family.
Except for those who do not have land, they are free to go and settle elsewhere.
But if you don't have land and no capital to do business, then you have to starve to death.
Besides, if you go to a new place and don't even have a household registration, you can't survive at all.
Therefore, even though some villagers are poor and cannot eat, they cannot leave here.
Gu Xinyu thought in his heart, this system is a bit too domineering, and then he can understand it when he thinks about it, if everyone thinks that this place is not good and they can leave if they want to, many places will really become barren places.
But this is not a solution, and Gu Xinyu can't think of a good solution when he looks left and right.
Moreover, because these villagers are too old-fashioned, they often live a life of insecurity, and no one stood up to build the greenhouse when it was built.
At that time, Gu Xinyu thought that it would be better to force them to plant in the name of the government, but after she chatted with a villager, she realized that she was still too naïve.
Because the villager said. What's the use of planting a greenhouse? In the depths of winter, those barbarians will come and rob them clean, and they will rob people, but it is better to have nothing, and they will not worry about this place, which is safer
Gu Xinyu's heart was actually very shocked, this is a fundamental problem, without a safe and peaceful environment, these people will have to live this kind of life of day and night.
Then they will be unmotivated and unmotivated. I thought to myself. No matter how hard you try, the final result is cheaper than the people of Beichen, so it is better to have nothing
But for the general environment, Gu Xinyu can't do anything. Eventually, she called for the village chiefs.
She asked the village chiefs if they had any surplus labor. Gu Xinyu needs a large number of people to do one thing.
That's a good thing. The village chiefs were overjoyed. Hurriedly returned to the village to count, and soon the number of people was reported, about 30 people.
These villages are very small in population. Although there are nominally more than a dozen villages, the total number of people is less than 200.
Gu Xinyu and the village chiefs of each village, plus Master Li as an intermediary, they drew up a contract together, and it was very clear in the contract that Taoyuan Villa showed 35 employees as hired laborers, and gave 100 wen per month, and by next spring, those who wanted to go home to farm could come back, and those who wanted to stay there would continue to stay in the villa.
Then Gu Xinyu left 300 copper coins for each of these people's families and asked them to buy some food and cotton clothes.
She also knew that with the current timing of these people, she really couldn't give more, and three hundred Wen was just right.
Gu Xinyu saw that this was the case for the time being, and then returned to Rongcheng with Master Li and thirty-five new employees.
Lord Li returned to the mansion, and Gu Xinyu brought these thirty or so people back to Taoyuan Villa and packed the contract books of these people.
Gu Xinyu called Du Sanlang and told Du Sanlang that these people would be assigned and managed by him, because now, although the manpower of the greenhouse is sufficient, some of them have also planted a greenhouse at home, and their family members very much hope that they can go back, but they dare not say this idea to the villa.
Gu Xinyu doesn't care about this, because there is a lack of everything in this land, and the most important thing is people, especially those who work.
Taoyuan Villa has a reputation and reputation, and it is very easy to hire people, so she told Du Sanlang: "You go back and count how many people want to go home and help their families run the greenhouse, and then report the list, the silver is settled, and each person gives an extra 100 Wen, which is said to be the Villa's encouragement for their hard work." ”
And told them that after they go back, they will give the knowledge they have learned here to their families, run the family's greenhouse well, and then earn more money and have a rich New Year.
Du Saburo nodded one by one.
Gu Xinyu gave Du Sanlang the more than 30 people in his hands now, and asked him to take them to the greenhouse to familiarize himself with the situation, when these people first arrived in Rongcheng, they were all wearing very thin, and some of their shoes even showed their toes.
Gu Xinyu couldn't even bear to look at it anymore, but this was the case, Gu Xinyu bought a set of cotton clothes and a pair of cotton shoes for each of them, and told them that this was not included in the salary, it was an additional gift from Taoyuan Villa.
And when these people arrived at the villa, they ate another hot meal, especially in the meal, there was meat, there was meat, there was meat, so much meat, the meat slices were thick and fat.
Many of them haven't even seen a few meat stars for a few years, some of them rarely go out of the small village, and some have never even come to Rongcheng, they don't have much knowledge, nor do they have any vision and vision, but they know that they live to eat well and eat well, and if they can eat well and eat well, it will be their happiest days.
So these people happily followed Du Saburo to the greenhouse, and when they got there, they were very surprised to see these greenhouses, they had heard the village chief say before, but no one did it, because they didn't know what the result would be, and they were also full of worries about their environment, even if they built a greenhouse, once there was a harvest. If a small group of Beichen cavalry suddenly attacked, they would snatch all the fruits they had harvested, and then they would lose all their money.
It's better not to do it, so they are no strangers to the concept of greenhouses, the first time, is often passed on in their mouths, I didn't expect to see it now, and then see the green vegetables and melons and fruits growing inside, these people are stunned and don't know what to say.
Although they said that their land is scarce, they have been farming for generations, and they are the most familiar with the things on this land, so after Du Sanlang took them to visit, he explained some basic operations and precautions to these thirty people, and then arranged a place for them to live according to the distribution of personnel, and then handed over to the fourth brother to manage.
And the original employees of Taoyuan Villa are just like Gu Xinyu said, after the villa spoke, these farmers who wanted to go back to help their families plant warm houses were naturally very grateful, and the reason why they didn't dare to say it was because they felt that they were at a loss, and if they did that, they would become ungrateful villains and would be scolded.
