Chapter 15: Otherwise, let's cooperate
While digging a hole in the ground, Uncle Li organized people to weave a basket again, this time it was not for sale, but for his own use, so that there were more than 20 pickers who picked soil into the ground all day long.
In a month's time, Liu He's land has been paved, "Little brother, your land is about to be filled, look where you put this soil." ”
"Uncle Li, otherwise, let's work together, and your land, as well as the land of the people you found who dug holes, will also be covered with a layer of soil." "Little brother, how can this be done, how can we take advantage of you, we don't have much food to take care of the food."
"Uncle Li, do you think this is okay, you go and ask other people, our land will be planted together in the coming year, whose land is owned or whose family owns, and I will lend it to my long-term workers and those who come down from the mountains will have an acre of land for each family. In this way, I will not care about the long-term work, everyone will work together, and whoever owns the land will occupy forty percent of the income of the output until the autumn, and the remaining sixty percent will be distributed to the people who work according to the amount of labor. ”
"Is this okay, little brother, aren't you at a loss?" "Don't suffer, don't suffer, don't I have a long-term job."
Soon the dog dan told everyone about this statement, and finally after careful discussion, that is, the landlord accounted for forty percent of the income, sixty percent of the income was divided into fifty percent, and one percent was reserved for everyone to use, and even this could be used to buy tools or something, in fact, these ideas were just that everyone wanted to play with Liu He.
Naturally, there are people in the village who understand, and when they saw that these people had improved their land so quickly, they naturally wanted to join in, but soon after the Chinese New Year, naturally this matter was put down.
Liu He went to the cave to take a look, this speed is really not slow, but in the first two months of the year, the hole was dug into the hole more than two miles away, and it was reinforced with thick wooden sticks, it can be said that as long as there is no water seepage, there is nothing.
There are even some auxiliary caves dug on the side of the main cave, these auxiliary holes are the places where the grain is stored, Liu He took advantage of the rest of the group, and took the long-term workers to transport the grain down from the mountain, and his own grain was also put into this hole.
In this cave, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and Liu He wants to live in the cave and not come out. There are capable people in this village, this hole is really well renovated, the main cave and auxiliary caves are there, and even there are some dark ditches on both sides of the main hole, which is for the water inside, once the water is in, the water can flow out of the dark ditch, and a dark ditch is also dug outside the hole, and it has gone far and gone down into the river that comes down from the east mountain.
There is also an opening at the top of the cave so that it will not be stuffy inside, and there is a place for oil lamps on the wall, this cave is really perfect.
In particular, the exit treatment is also very level, in a narrow ditch is the entrance to the cave, here ordinary people will not come, even if there is a heart to come to the cave can not find the entrance of the cave because it is a narrow ditch, there is a tree in the ditch, just a tree blocked the hole, turn the tree to see the hole.
There is also the fact that Liu He needs to solve the traces of people coming out of the cave, this is not in a hurry, the war is still far away.
Chinese New Year, this is Liu He's first New Year's Festival in this era, although this era is very poor, but the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival is really strong, as if the village was fresh overnight, bright red couplets, and to every family, their room is also bright, in fact, it is to use some white soil to trip over the water, and walk around the wall, so that the black wall that has been smoked this year will be brightened up at once, and naturally the room will also be bright.
The New Year naturally needs to catch up with the shopping, in the past few days before the year, the old men and daughters-in-law in the village are in groups to catch up with the four sets, although there is not much money, but also bought a lot of things back, a year of reluctant to eat meat, buy a small piece, cloth also buy a few pieces, make a dress for the whole family, because of Liu He's arrival, he found someone to work so that he saved the food of each family, naturally sold a part of it, you can buy some things back, there is a girl at home who is older, but also to buy a head rope for the girl, Even a head flower.
It can be said that since Liu He bought the land, their whole family has been eating at Liu He's house, so that a large part of their grain this year can be sold.
There is also the fact that Goudan likes to eat candy, because every time Liu He goes on the episode, he will bring some candy back to Goudan back, so Uncle Li ruthlessly bought 20 pieces of candy for Goudan and bought some firecrackers for Goudan .
When I arrived at Liu He, I naturally bought a lot of pork, big bones, male eggs and other foods, and specially bought dozens of pieces of fabric, and natural sugar was also indispensable.
During the Chinese New Year, each long-term worker is divided into a bag of grain, and each long-term worker's family has two pieces of fabric, a chicken, two catties of meat, and pig bones.
There is also a secret payment of more than a dozen yuan to each long-term worker.
"Boss, we really can't ask for this." "Take it, there will be no more in the coming year, you work with your strength, you don't need me to give it to you if you work hard, I have already said it, each of you can lend me an acre of land."
"You take it, he is a landlord and an old man, he has grain, and he can't eat so much alone, so naturally he needs you to help him eat." At this time, Zhang Zhen interjected.
It is said that the peasants of this era are really simple, there are patients at home, and they naturally need to sell the fields to the patients for treatment, and when the patients are healed, or they die, they have nothing to eat, so they go to the landlord's house to do long work, and the wages are really very small, it can be said that as long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, everyone will not do anything bad, this is also the inheritance habit of China for 5,000 years, needless to say, it is Zhang Zhen, a young girl with a new education, is not used to it, so say, You must not provoke the common people of China, if they are in a hurry, then they will also be angry.
"Oh, that's right." Suddenly, Liu He remembered something, "Liu Xiong, you said that when you used to work for Li Laocai, there was no salary at the end of the year, how did your family live." ”
"Well, we borrow grain from the Li Dong family every year, and at the end of each year, we borrow some grain from the owner, and we haven't paid back the Li Dong family's grain until now."
"Can you pay back the borrowed grain?" "It's really not, it seems that no one has ever returned the grain, although at the end of every year, the Li Dong family also looks for the grain we owe, but we don't have it, we don't have it, we have no way, we should borrow from him or continue to borrow from him."
When Liu He heard it, he understood, this borrowing grain is considered wages, but Li Laocai will still have a good reputation, which is also the saying that this place does not pay wages. What is this invented by someone, easy to calculate.
