Chapter 56 Cognition of wages
Whenever wages are paid, people are in a very happy mood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But what's even happier is to suddenly get a windfall and not have to pay taxes.
The villagers of Guanlou Village were hit by this unexpected surprise today.
The digging operation, which lasted for a month, finally came to an end, and all that remained was more detailed repairs. This can only be done after the end of spring planting, which is delayed due to the early completion of the ploughing.
The villagers who received the notice to receive the money stood in the small square in front of the Jue's Mansion in twos and threes, and they were discussing.
"Uncle Qi, do you think this is appropriate?" Wang Xiaowu has not slept all night since receiving the notice of receiving wages, and he is still in a somewhat apprehensive mood now, the main family pays the tenants, a miracle that has never been seen in the ages.
Seeing that Wang Xiaowu was asking Uncle Qi, several villagers around him immediately looked at Uncle Qi, and the expression on his face could not tell whether it was joy or sadness.
Uncle Qi sighed and said: "We just made a lot of effort, but I didn't expect to receive money, and I don't know if it's suitable." ”
"Maybe the lord sees that we have been tired for so long, so he just wants to give us some rewards. As for the reward of a few pennies, presumably the lord doesn't care about it. Li Er said.
Uncle Qi nodded and said: "Well, what Xiao Lizi said this time is very reasonable, let's take a look first, if the lord wants to express it, let's continue." When the planting is finished and the mud pond is repaired, we will do our best. ”
Wen stood in front of the gate of the Jue's Mansion, smiling and watching the villagers gather together to discuss, and did not bother, but just told Zheng He and Shi to quickly carry up the basket full of copper coins.
Wen from later generations understands very well that to make money, it must be real money to make people happy. Sending white strips like Zhao Laoer, even if you send more, it will not make people happy, but will only increase the resentment in your heart.
When dozens of baskets of copper coins were placed in front of the gate of the Jue's Mansion in turn, looking at the dozens of baskets lined up in several rows and shining copper coins in front of them, the villagers were directly shocked, and the audience was immediately silent.
Uncle Qi can swear to heaven that he has never seen so much money in most of his life, and usually the family's savings have not exceeded the usual money. The slightly wealthier people in the village will not have more than ten pieces of silver in their hands, and the dozens of baskets of silver in front of them will not be thousands of dollars.
Wen stood behind the rows of silver coins and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, everyone pay attention, Benjue has a few words to say here, everyone must listen carefully."
During this time, everyone digs the pit very hard, but there will be a harvest if there is labor. Today, the Jue Mansion will pay you wages, please note that this is a salary, not a reward, and you deserve it. All villagers over the age of 16 are paid two yuan per person, and those under the age of 16 are paid the same amount of money per person, that is, the baby who is breastfeeding, and each person has the same money. ”
After shouting, Wen smiled and was waiting for the cheers of the villagers, but the cheers did not arrive for a long time, and the villagers of Guanlou Village all fell into a stupor after hearing the shouts.
It's just digging a pit, and each person has two pieces of silver, which is not a reward from the Lord's Mansion, but their own wages, even the baby who feeds at home has consistent money, and the mother-in-law of the milk child can receive two pieces of money, this time they are really surprised.
As a tenant, he always gave money to the master's family, and if he couldn't pay the rent, he had to sell his wife and daughter to work in the house to repay the money he owed.
Even I never dreamed that one day, I would be able to receive money from the Lord's house.
The villagers who were more emotional had begun to sobb quietly, and the crying gradually spread, and the villagers in the small square were infected and gradually let out a cry. The people who lived in the Five Dynasties period were always taxed, and no one had ever received their own money from the nobles.
They were exploited by the local government, by the imperial court, and by the big households.
This is the first time the villagers have heard that the main family has to pay the tenants.
For the first time, they began to examine what kind of fool this little lord who had just arrived in Guanlou Village!
Wen looked at the villagers who were crying, and coughed a few times in embarrassment, to hide the embarrassment in his heart. After digging a pit for a month, I gave two pieces of money, which is indeed a bit excessive, and this money is not enough to buy a plate of heroes in Jingshi Baihualou.
But the problem is that Wen Wen is also very short of money now, and if he wants the next work to be carried out smoothly, he still needs a lot of money. It would not be possible to pay the villagers a large amount of wages.
"Fellow villagers, this time, the wages are indeed a little small, but after the next planting, as long as everyone works hard, Lord Ben can guarantee here that all the people's wages will be doubled." Smell quickly take remedial measures. Verbal promises are something that everyone can play, and as for whether it can be realized, who knows!
The shouting did not have the desired effect at all, and the villagers cried louder.
"Hurry up to get the money, when you get the money, you still cry, sir, it's the first time I've seen it, even the money like mosquito legs has to be put in your pocket first, do you understand!" After hearing the irritation, he turned around and went into the house.
Out of sight and out of mind, isn't it just less money? As for crying and breastfeeding babies, I will make up for you in the future, and I will make up for it if I make money, what a group of fools.
"Brother Shi, whoever makes you angry, if you are reluctant to give up the money, don't give it away, and the villagers will not have an opinion." Mei Yiqi was sulking when she heard this, so she said with relief.
"He is going to be wiped out of the Nine Clans, what to do with that money and property, if he can do something good before he dies, it can be regarded as accumulating some Yin Virtue, and when he casts a good baby in the next life, he will be considered to have earned it." The little nun Jingyuan interjected heartlessly beside her.
"Sir, have you really given up on treatment?" Zheng Zhutou said in surprise. When he entered the Beijing Division for thousands of miles, under the attack of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, many students and catchers were seriously injured, and even on the verge of death.
Wen often said that he didn't give up the treatment, and when you get to the lord's fiefdom, as long as you survive, build a mansion for each of you. Of course, Xungui's words are unbelievable, this is not until now, let alone the house, there is not a single house in sight, and many students are still four people sharing a room.
In ancient times, when there was a shortage of medical treatment, if you were seriously injured, there were not many ways to use it except for the spiritual victory method, and in addition to verbal encouragement, it could only be material stimulation.
"What treatment to give up?" Wen said angrily.
"Sir, you really don't plan to go and walk the way, so that King Wei can let you go, instead of giving all this money to those bitter haha, it is better to make a relationship and see if there is any hope that the nine clans will not be wiped out!" Zheng Zhutou suggested. Regarding Wen Sancai's move, in Zheng Zhutou's opinion, this is completely a manifestation of broken jars, and he would rather die than cheap those bastards who came to raid his house.
Wen snorted lightly and said, "Destroy the Nine Clans? Just that bastard, I'm afraid he doesn't have that ability yet. ”
"Sir, I'm afraid he really has that ability." Zheng Zhutou said unbelievingly.
Wen Wei sighed: "If he really has that ability, it would be good, maybe I really have to thank him." ”
If you want to destroy your own nine clans, you have to travel to the afterlife, if the people of this era really have the ability to travel to the afterlife. Wen really wants to thank them, so that he doesn't have to continue to suffer in this ancient world, and returns to that materialistic world of flowers and flowers as soon as possible.
Although the air of this ancient world is extremely fresh, I am still used to the afterlife life full of the smell of gasoline and dust and poisonous gas.
I really want to light a cigarette, lie on the comfortable sofa, watch the shoddy domestic blockbusters, and scold a few words by the way, a bunch of stupid forks. This kind of life is much stronger than the days when you have to worry about your life anytime and anywhere.
Sure enough, only when you lose it will you know, even if it is a bad life, it is also precious.
"........." Zheng Zhutou shook his head helplessly and sighed, and went to maintain order in front of the Jue's Mansion. He saw it, but he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and he didn't know if it was good to say that he was stupid and bold, or that it was good to say that he was ignorant and offended a prince, what good fruit could he eat!
