The rest of the townspeople, 100 households, and general banners also donated generously, and as a result, they got a total of 1,900 taels, which was more than originally expected.

"Okay~ It's so decided~" Song Qianjin finally made a decision, "Everyone go back and get the silver, there will be a harvest in the future, according to the amount of silver sold today, give everyone dividends~~~"

When everyone was gone, Zhang Guishan said to Song Youliang with a smile: "Qianhu, son, I'm right, right?" ”

Song Qianjin punched Zhang Guishan in the chest and said with a smile: "You have a lot of ghost ideas~~haha~~"

Song Youliang also complimented: "Uncle Zhang still has a way~~ I still have a lot of things to discuss with Uncle Zhang in the future~~"

"You don't know yet~ Song Gongzi is recruiting again~~"

"The Song family's hired workers are really so good?"

"There are enough five buckets of grain, there is no sediment at all~~~ If you want to come along, otherwise I won't have time to talk nonsense with you, I'll rush to line up~~"

Early the next morning, Zhang Guishan set up a long table on the edge of the ridge outside Haiyang Office early, and several members of the Song family pressed steel knives on the side to maintain order, and those who came to apply for recruitment lined up in a long line, about six or seven hundred people came to line up, and the long line was spectacular. In addition to the new refugees, there are also some people from nearby tunpu and villages and towns. The standard for recruitment is to be able to carry a 200-kilogram sandbag around the long table 4 times

A strong man carried a sandbag, walked around the long table for 4 laps, and then came to the level in front of Shen Su

"What's it called?"

"Xu Erxi~"

"Where are the people~"

"Rushan Village People~"

"Military?"

"Households~"

"Then you wait first~" Zhang Guishan smiled, pointing to the water tank on the side: "Go drink saliva first, wait, let's take care of the military household first~~ come, the next one~~"

In one morning, the Song family hired a total of 400 hired workers, and these hired workers were still managed by the establishment of small banners, general banners, and 100 households, but they did not fall into the army. In terms of basic wages: newly hired workers are called Xinding, and each person has five buckets of grain per month; Those who have worked for more than one year will be promoted to short-term workers, with five buckets and one liter per person per month; Those who have worked for more than two years will be promoted to long-term workers, with five buckets and two liters per person per month. In terms of rewards: those who are rated first-class every month can get an additional reward of five buckets of grain; Those with a second-class rating can get an additional reward of four buckets of food; If it is rated as inferior, the wages of a bucket of grain will be deducted. If the rating is low for three consecutive months, the name will be removed

In order to make it easier for these hired workers to work in the fields, most of them did not live in the city, and at the same time there were not so many people living in the city. Song Youliang specially arranged for them to build the tun houses, all of which are built in the shape of Hakka tulou enclosed houses, the scale of the tun houses is different, the small tun houses are distributed with 20 or 30 houses, which can accommodate hundreds of people, and the large ones have 3 or 400 rooms, which can accommodate thousands of people, and the size of the tun houses is determined by the number of people around. The exterior wall is made of triple soil barriers, that is, lime, yellow mud and sand or pebbles are mixed together, and the wall is also mixed with tung oil, sugar syrup, glutinous rice syrup and other viscous materials, and the toughness and durability of this kind of tun house wall is not inferior to that of reinforced concrete walls. The outer wall is eight feet thick, about two feet high, and the four corners protrude outwards to build an enemy tower; Lookout holes and shooting holes were provided on the enemy tower and the surrounding walls. The first floor of the tun house is used as a kitchen, firewood and grass room, cattle and pig pens; The second and third floors are storage rooms and dormitories; The fourth floor, the top floor, is a strategic room, which is neither inhabited nor placed with sundries, and is connected by doors between them; Its upper and lower circles extend in all directions. A tun house usually has only one outer door for entry and exit. This gate is the safety of the whole tun house, so the door wall is particularly thickened, the door frame is also made of boulders, and there are horizontal and vertical fence railings to prevent accidents. The thick door panel is wrapped in iron sheet and has a thick door post. Most of them have a gate behind the gate, and there is a double door behind the gate. In order to prevent fire, there is also a water leak on the top of the door. If the door is breached, it can be flanked from both sides and the enemy building, and it can also be blocked on the narrow road leading to the alley gate in the tun house. There are also wells dug in the huts, warehouses for storing grain and grass, and other living facilities. Once something happens, close the outer door tightly, and you can hold on for 1~2 months.

If workers want to do their jobs well, they must first sharpen their tools, and after solving the problem of labor, it is necessary to solve the problem of labor tools. All the special ordnance offices in Haiyang Qianhu have a group of military craftsmen who are responsible for making weapons and agricultural tools. The Ming Law stipulates that all sergeants who cannot bear combat missions must learn to make weapons. After learning armor-piercing and bow-and-arrow manufacturing, he became a military craftsman. Warcraftsmen, like military households, live in designated guards and are not allowed to move at will. However, because of the forgetfulness of the war, the armory station has completely transformed into a farm tool station.

The treatment of military craftsmen is also very pitiful, as can be seen from the fact that they live in thatched huts. The walls are poor rammed earth walls, very layered, each layer of rammed earth is separated by licorice and sorghum leaves, after years of weathering and washing, the edges of licorice and sorghum leaves begin to flutter naked in the wind, like the weathered fragments of a dried corpse, craggy and terrifying.

"Hey~~ Song Gongzi is here~~ Still not welcome?" Xu Erduo shouted in a loud voice, a little foxy

As soon as they heard that Song Gongzi was coming, several craftsmen hurriedly dropped the work in their hands, and crawled to the ground to salute, "The villain greets Gongzi~~"

Song Youliang wanted to help a craftsman, but as soon as he approached the ragged craftsman, he was immediately flushed by the smell of his body, which made Song Youliang give up the idea

"Song Gongzi is here~~" A man with slightly neat clothes, but patches also walked out of a thatched hut next to him, this person is the leader of the craftsman's household, since the military craftsman was born from the military household, the establishment is naturally the same. The general banner who manages this batch of craftsmen is surnamed Zuo, and his name is An Ming

Song Youliang is just the son of an ordinary military household at this time, but Zuo Anming is the general banner, so it stands to reason that Song Youliang should salute Zuo Anming. But who called Song Youliang the quasi-heir of the next hundred households? So Zuo Baihu respectfully saluted Song Youliang

Song Youliang returned the salute and said with a smile: "Zuo Zongqi, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I came today, I want to ask Zuo Zongqi for help~~"

Zuo Zongqi is also a veteran of Songjiabao, and now he has the opportunity to pat himself on the back, so he naturally can't let it go, so Zuo Anmingdui said with a smile: "Song Gongzi has any instructions, just say~~ Do you want to get a pole and go hunting in the suburbs?" ”

"Aren't you going to start clearing the wasteland?" Song Youliang said: "Zuo Zongqi, you also gave thirty taels of silver, did you forget?" ”

"Uh~~Look at my memory~" Zuo Anming laughed at himself: "Most of the wages are for the farm tools needed for land reclamation, right?" ”

Song Youliang nodded approvingly, seeing that this time the sycophant was right, Zuo Anming hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Don't worry, son, we will definitely do this errand well, not only do it well, but also do it beautifully~"

Song Youliang wasn't interested in listening to his sycophants, but just said: "Zuo Zongqi should have heard about the hired workers, right?" ”

"I've heard about it~" Zuo Anming smiled flatteringly: "If it weren't for my age, I would have wanted to go too~"

"That's not necessary~~" Song Youliang said with a smile: "Zuo Zongqi knows how to build, isn't it overkill to let you go to the fields?" ”

"Where is it~ I can work for the Song family, and everything I do is my blessing~" Zuo Anming's sycophants are getting more and more numb

Song Youliang was afraid that he would not be able to stand it if he said more meaty words, so he said directly: "I came to plan to hire all the craftsmen under the same conditions~~"
