Sun Asi nodded again, but asked with some hesitation: "Dare to ask the head of the family, can you exchange your wages for food?" ”

The farmers had little money in their hands, and they usually bartered. So, most people are used to changing to grain or linen.

As for grain, there is more millet than wheat. Because millet is cheap, you can get more and eat longer.

"It's okay to change food." Xu An saw the eyes of the head of the family, so he said: "After eating, I will buy all the millet seeds." ”

The little girl secretly pulled her father's sleeve, Sun Asi smiled helplessly, and said, "That, the villain may still need to fight." After a pause, he hurriedly added, "Don't be paid, just eat." ”

The little girl's small movements, as well as Sun Asi's fear of rejection, made Xu Qilin happily agree.

Sun Ah Si and the little girl left happily, and Xu Ancai said to Xu Qilin: "The head of the family is simply doing a good deed, this promise is happy, and the villain has no time to dissuade him." What did he do, Sun Ah Si can also say it, not for his mother-in-law and the little girl to mix a bowl of rice. ”

Can the exploitation of such a red fruit be called a good deed?

Xu Qilin felt that he looked like an unscrupulous contractor, laughed dryly, and said: "It looks strange and pitiful, if the craftsmanship is passable, let them eat a few full meals!" ”

"The main family is sympathetic to the farmers, but they get cheap." Xu An said: "If you want to talk about this Sun Asi, the craftsmanship is okay, but there is no field, ten miles and eight towns do odd jobs, hungry and full, and life is difficult." ”

Xu Qilin thought for a while and asked, "How many of us don't have any fields in the village, what kind of livelihood do they have, you investigate it and then tell me." ”

Xu An laughed and said: "Why do you need to investigate, I know every household, let the account room sort it out, and report it to the head of the family at night." ”

"Then there's Uncle Lao An." Xu Qilin said politely and beckoned Xu An to have dinner together, but Xu An excused himself.

Don't look at Xu Qilin's respectful appearance, Xu An doesn't dare to eat with the head of the family. In this regard, Xu Qilin also did not care.

Small landlords, in front of them, they are used to it!

Before Xu Qilin finished eating, Sun Asi's family of three came, bringing all kinds of carpenter tools.

At that time, the common people basically had two meals a day, and this Sun Asi family didn't eat breakfast at all, so they came so quickly.

Xu Qilin also figured it out, other people's living habits are different from their own!

After eating the last two mouthfuls of porridge, Xu Qilin got up and went out to arrange work for Sun Asi's family.

In fact, it is not to create any complicated utensils, but to have a tall table and chairs, and a bookshelf.

As for the high-legged tables and chairs, Xu Qilin moved a few pieces and asked Sun Asi to build them as they were; The bookshelf should be drawn by Xu Qilin and measured according to the size of the wall in the bedroom.

Xu An asked his subordinates to bring a few pieces of wood, although it is not precious and rare, Xu Qilin's requirements are not high, and it can be built strong.

After the work was explained, Sun Asi's family started working in the courtyard, which was very quick.

Although Xu Qilin feels that he is exploiting, the villagers are really honest and do not have to worry about procrastination and slacking off at all, although the wages are calculated on a daily basis.

Xu An also asked Xu Qilin to go to the side hospital to supervise the work of recruiting people to open a workshop.

"The main family is sympathetic to the household, as long as there is no ambiguity in the food, there is no need to waste too much wages." Xu An advised as he walked, "Those who want grain will be given millet, and those who want copper coins are enough." If you give too much, you will have to follow this standard in recruiting labor in the future. If someone else looks for a helper and doesn't pay this price, they can't start work. ”

Xu Qilin said that if you want to be generous, you must also follow the customs, the values of the 21st century are still out of place in this dynasty, and they may also attract hatred.

For example, if you want to have a good reputation, you don't lack this money, but you still can't reduce it too much, or even not collect it.

If you do that, won't you offend the landlords around you? You are benevolent, you are compassionate, then everyone else is a Zhou Peel who knocks out the bone and sucks the marrow?

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. To be a man and do things, Xu Qilin still understands this truth.

"This season is not busy, and the laborers come to work, not only to get paid, but also to save food rations for the family, and those who have a conscience have to work hard." Xu An was still talking, but when it came to conscience, Xu Qilin was still a little hot on his face.

However, Xu Qilin appreciated it very much. This Xu An is a fine person, he knows how to support the face of the main family, get a good reputation, and not waste money.

Xu Qilin nodded while listening and being taught, and sighed.

In the end, people are people of this era, understand the life and needs of the villagers, understand the economic situation at that time, and deal with people much higher than their own swollen faces and fat people.

While speaking, he had already arrived at the side courtyard. It was said that only ten people were recruited, but fifteen or sixteen came, all of whom were strong laborers.

This kind of scene doesn't need the head of the family to come forward, although Xu Qilin has an old brother above him, he is really not the head of the family.

Xu An is the manager of the village, and he is also familiar with the head, so he explained the matter in a few words, and reported to Xu Qilin to point out the person he liked.

Xu Qilin sat there just to make a show, and all Xu An's arrangements were correct. There were only five or six people left, and he made a temporary move and arranged to work as a temporary worker in the back garden.

The garden was originally quite large, but it was overgrown with weeds and broken bricks. As soon as it was dark and the wind was blowing, even Xu Qilin, a materialist atheist, felt panicked.

Cleaned up the mess and debris, built what should be built, dug what should be dug, and transplanted two duck's foot trees, well, the two tall and big ones at the head of the village are good.

That's the benefit of the landlord. The fields here, the houses here, the trees and flowers here, the water here, the air here...... Uh-huh, it's all mine.

"Erlang, this, transplanting trees will not be alive until autumn." Xu An felt that Xu Qilin's plan was a little problematic, and he had to be reminded on the side, "The beginning of spring is also good." ”

"Then move in the fall." Xu Qilin said: "First trim the pavilion, Yonglu, and flower pond, and then plant some flowers and plants." Well, it's better to get a small bamboo forest. ”

"It's easy." Xu An nodded in agreement, "There is still a pond of curved water in the garden, which can be re-excavated and dredged and planted with some lotus ......."

Uh-huh! Xu Qilin nodded again and again, and couldn't help but think of the beautiful scenery of lush trees, flowers and plants, bamboo docks, and curved water.

After the recruitment is completed, there is naturally a family Xu Bao to arrange work. When making ice in the house to make money, Xu Qilin also paid attention to the available talents.

This Xu Bao is a clever person, and he can quickly understand some of the rules and regulations formulated by Xu Qilin, and he stands out among the family members.
