"When do you want someone?" Li Dongsheng smiled: "Starting tomorrow, how many people can you find?" ”

The county magistrate said that he would find someone to work, and he would hire someone to dig the canal for five cents a day, and he would dig dozens of large pools in all directions. As soon as the news spread, Liu Kuan was busy as a dog, five pennies a day, this is a rare high price, and those other people give one penny or two a day, and they are often deducted by the subordinates. The county magistrate said that this salary is settled in cash, and as long as you work for a full day, you will get the money.

"My lord, you gave too much money. I think the wage here is two cents a day. Zhou Ning was very confused: "As soon as this news spreads, there will definitely be a lot of people there." ”

This year is a bumper harvest of grain in the country, which is recorded in the history books, three or four pieces of rice, and it is also the beginning of the historical term of Zhenguan's rule, a bucket of rice is enough for a family of three to eat for ten days, you think about how high the wage is.

"As for people, you have to think more before you do things. But if you do something, you have to be atmospheric, you know? There are not many people around who can use it, so Li Dongsheng often brainwashes them: "Have you heard the story of Shang Ying Limu?" ”

"Uh, no." Wang San and a few of them only know a few words, and they really haven't heard a few stories.

"Jin Rong, tell them about it."

Jin Rong told the story to the three of them. Li Dongsheng asked: "Do you know what the meaning of my salary of five cents a day is?" ”

"My lord's move is to learn from Shang Ying's words, and when the decree comes out later, everyone is convinced." Shang Cheng took the lead.

"The adults are making a move to buy horse bones, and the reason for such a high wage is to attract people to work in the future." Jin Rong also said that he has been familiar with Li Dongsheng and Shang Cheng and them in the past few days, and found that his life is much more comfortable than when he followed other officials, Li Dongsheng has no official frame at all, and he talks and laughs with them when he has nothing to do, and he has no special requirements for food and accommodation, and everyone gets along with each other on an equal footing.

Zhou Ning was left by Li Dongsheng at the beach to be responsible for the payment of wages and care. In this way, the project started with everyone's expectations and hopes. In this year, there is no custom of offering pigs' heads to worship the gods or setting off firecrackers. It was excavated according to a large square frame drawn by Li Dongsheng.

The temptation of the salary of five cents a day is too great for the common people, and the calm seaside is crowded with people, and everyone is huddled together. It's a mess, and Liu Kuan and Liu Yang are busy. Zhou Ning couldn't stand it, so he immediately disrupted them and divided the ditch and the pool into a section of 500 meters long, dozens of big pits 10 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 2 meters deep. Flash Dance

After more than ten days, Li Dongsheng and they came to the beach again, and they saw a busy but well-organized scene, everyone shouted the trumpet, working hard in the autumn wind, there was no iron lift, hoes and other tools in this era, all tools made of wood where to work, and some people picked them directly with their hands, Li Dongsheng's nose was sour, and he also thought that there was a chance to make iron, and the Chinese peasants were too bitter to do anything in order to live.

"Yes, I didn't think you still had this hand." Li Dongsheng looked at Zhou Ning with a smile, he put Zhou Ning here just to let him look at the money, after all, he didn't feel at ease to show others, who knew that he was given such a surprise, and it was not easy to coordinate this project. He originally wanted to inspect Liu Kuan, but he didn't expect Zhou Ning to appear.

"Don't laugh at me, adults, I just listened to what you said before, the contracting system, the contract system, just give it a try." Zhou Ning was still a little embarrassed.

Liu Kuan was also very embarrassed: "My lord, I overestimated my ability and caused trouble to you." ”

"It doesn't matter, we have to try boldly, as long as the wages we say are paid, there will be no big mess." Li Dongsheng looked at the scene below that seemed to be in full swing, and couldn't help but think of the great man's sentence "Dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky", but he could only think about it, if he chanted, he would immediately lose his head, he hadn't married Lori yet, but he couldn't die.

However, in the evening, Li Dongsheng's good mood was gone. After a day's work, everyone dragged their tired bodies and lined up to Zhou Ning to receive their wages. Li Dongsheng told Jin Rong on the hill that the planning of the salt farm still has future prospects. At this time, Jin Rong suddenly said: "My lord, look, someone stopped them at the workers' accommodation. ”

Li Dongsheng looked in the direction of Jin Rong's finger, and sure enough, he saw a group of people stopping the workers near the camp where the workers were staying. Li Dongsheng said: "What do you mean? Are they asking for money? ”

"Wang San, you go down and see what the situation is."

Wang San climbed over the hill in a few clicks, and after a while he arrived at the camp and stood in front of several people. Li Dongsheng and Jin Rong saw clearly on the mountain, and saw a fat man in the crowd pointing at Wang San's nose, not knowing what he was saying, and there were two people around him. Wang San didn't get used to their problems, and knocked the fat man down with one punch, and then he was surrounded by the crowd.

Fortunately, Zhou Ning and Shang Cheng saw the noisy crowd, came over to take a look, and found that Wang San was actually beaten, and they were furious: "What are you, you dare to beat our eldest brother." The following officials also joined the battle, using iron rulers and chains to split their heads and cover their faces, and there were really a lot of people on the other side, estimated to be more than twenty, but after finding that the officials joined, they didn't dare to fight back, and they were subdued after a while.

Li Dongsheng and Jin Rong went down the hill and entered the camp. As soon as I entered, my brows furrowed, and the migrant workers lived in mud nests, so they dug a pit in the ground, spread reeds, and slept on them. Excrement can be seen everywhere in the camp, and it is autumn now, and if it is summer, there will be an epidemic immediately. "Jin Rong, you immediately arrange for them to clean up the camp for me, concentrate on excretion, and keep me away."

Jin Rong took the order and left, and Li Dongsheng walked in front of the arrested people and looked at them. These guys are also dark-skinned, and they are probably exposed to the sun and rain, but unlike malnourished migrant workers, they are tall and have oily faces. Seeing Li Dongsheng, he was not too afraid, and dared to look at Li Dongsheng.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Dongsheng asked Wang San.

"My lord, when I came down, I found that this group was collecting money from the workers, and one person was collecting three cents. I asked them who they were and why they were collecting money here, and they told me not to meddle with my business, and then I did. ”

"Who are you?" Li Dongsheng asked the fat man at the beginning.
