Chapter 87: The Iron Family's Choice (2)
"They don't say they want to buy our little property, they will buy all our houses and fields at the current price, and then we can use the money from the sale to settle down in the villa. The owner of this Huaxia Villa has great ability, under his hands, barren mountains can be turned into fertile land, and he can't covet this little thing of our family, I think it should be a way to solve the relationship between these industries and Wu for us, and through this point to see our loyalty to the villa. ”
"Zhuang'er, you've been in the villa for a long time, what are you going to do now?"
"A few days ago, some practices were changed in the villa, creating opportunities for ordinary people to learn. Under these circumstances, more than 70 poor people have now enrolled in the schools of the lodge. These poor people have almost nothing and no private property, and once they have reached a literacy level of 1,000 words and have passed the first stage of study at the lodge, nine out of ten will choose to become full members of the lodge. And judging from the current situation, there are some private property people in Zigui City who are already lining up outside the mountain villa to prepare to participate in the study, which puts a lot of pressure on those of us who have passed the first stage of study before. ”
"Anyway, you've been studying for so long, can't you compare to those poor people?"
Tie Zhuang said: "You don't know, in the villa, as long as you pass the first stage of learning, you can choose the content of learning, Shi agriculture and industry have it, but the study of both Shi and Gong must be an official member of the villa to learn." Those of us who passed first had more or less ancestral businesses outside, and we were a little hesitant and did not choose to join the villa, so we could only learn both agricultural and commercial knowledge. My fear now is that once the poor who have nothing have passed their studies and become full members of the lodge, there is a good chance that they will choose to learn about the priesthood and work, and then we will be left behind. That's why I asked the teacher for leave and came back to discuss with my father, how should our family choose? ”
Tie Niu said, "Then what do you think are the benefits of joining this villa?" ”
"If our family joins the villa, with my current job, I can receive 200 catties of grain every month, and as my literacy increases, my salary will also rise. And as long as you work according to the requirements of the villa, you will also be paid one hundred and fifty pounds of wages every month. This is the first benefit, the official members of the lodge will never go hungry.
The second advantage is that they will never be exposed to the cold, and the official members of the lodge will be given two sets of thick and thin clothes every year, and one set of bedding per person. You see the clothes I wear now, this fabric, this stitches, I have seen it for the first time in my life.
The third advantage is that you can use the Huaxia coins earned by your labor to buy all kinds of things in the villa, such as snow salt, which is almost the worst existence in the villa.
The fourth advantage is that you can learn anything in the villa, and as long as you have the ability, you can find a suitable job in the villa......"
Tie Niu interrupted Tie Zhuang and said, "These benefits are not bad, but between these three countries, what ability does this Huaxia Villa have to ensure our safety." ”
"Don't worry about this, I've seen something called a movie in their villa, as long as the owner of the village takes out one-tenth of the force recorded on it, no country dares to offend easily. Some time ago, Li Xianling took hundreds of officers and soldiers to find trouble with the villa, but except for Li Xianling, the others couldn't even enter the gate of the villa, and came back the next morning. ”
"I've heard a little bit about this, but he doesn't know much about what is going on, according to what you say, do you think that our life after joining the villa will be better than now, right?"
"Judging from the time I've been in the Lodge, it's definitely much better to join the Lodge than not to join the Lodge, at least in this troubled world, the Lodge is a rare place of stability. The most important thing is that I have never found any ostentatious and domineering people in this mountain village, from the owner of the village to the miscellaneous servants, who get along very well. Now that the mountain villa is employing people, it is much better to send carbon in the snow than icing on the cake. ”
The brothers discussed in a whisper for a while, and then Tie Niu said: "Zhuang'er, you said that the villa just doesn't allow the official members of the villa to have private property outside, and if I give these fields and properties of our family to your uncles, won't the conditions of the villa be met." Let's go to the villa for a while, and if things don't go well, we can come back, and then we will at least have the capital to settle down. ”
Tie Zhuang said: "If we used this method last month, there should be no problem, but now that the villa has opened the door for ordinary people to study, I am worried that once the poor people and those tenant farmers in the city have left, our fields will have no one to plant, and after the fields are barren, even if they are given to the villa for nothing, people may not want it." Moreover, if these land deeds are to be changed, the owner must also go through the county office, and then it will cost some money, which is not cost-effective. Therefore, we should plan ahead of time when the price of land is fair. ”
Tie Zhuang's third uncle Tie Xiong said: "Zhuang'er, if your family enters the villa, what should we do?" ”
"Third uncle, I think you should also be ready to join the villa, several cousins and cousins know some words, if you participate in the study of the villa, there is a great possibility of entering the villa, as long as they can compete, everyone has the opportunity to become an official member of the villa."
Iron Bear said, "Can you teach some of the knowledge you have learned in the villa to your brothers and sisters first, and then you may be able to use it." ”
Tie Zhuang said: "There is a special machine for learning in the villa, and if you use that machine to learn, you will make greater progress and learn more organized, which is much better than that of my former private school teacher." Due to the fact that there are a lot of people who come to the mountain villa to participate in the study during this time, so the machine villa is also very tense now, we students have an hour of study time every day, and if you want to use the machine at other times, you have to pay money, two Chinese yuan an hour. We students are not paid, and only some labor in the villa can be obtained from the official members of other villas to obtain a small amount of Huaxia coins, which is not enough for our own studies. If we become a full member, the family's private property will be converted into Huaxia currency at the current price, and we will have a fixed salary every month. As long as everyone enters the villa, there is no need to live this fearful life outside. ”
