It's not that Lan Niang has a small vision, but that the servants are really rich and noble. It's not just the money to buy a servant, but the servant who buys it back is a human being, and the person has to eat, and he has to spend money and food to feed him.

Even if you keep it, you have to give it to your daughter-in-law, which is another amount of money. The servant's daughter-in-law must also be money.

That's it, servants can also beat singles. After all, there are many singles in the countryside. There are many people who can't talk about daughters-in-law. Servants can't talk about daughters-in-law, that's the norm. But servants will be old, and there will be no labor to support them.

Living together for decades, you can't be old and still be ruthless and let people go. That's another amount of money.

In the countryside, landlords' families do not necessarily have servants, and many landlords' families also employ short-term workers. I really can't take care of it, so I will hire long-term workers.

Neither short-term nor long-term workers are sold to the landlord's family, and the owner's family does not have the right to kill, but also has to pay for food and drink. Workers have to pay for injuries, and so on. The good thing is that the wages are not high. Landlords can afford it.

After all, as long as the wages are paid, there is no need to care about the marriage of the workers and so on. If it is not satisfactory, you can still fire and hire a new person.

The servant in Erlang's mouth is a serious servant who has signed a death contract. As long as the master's family does not let people go, they will be the servants of the master's family for generations. The servants of the Huang family are old servants for generations, and they must be obedient when they are obedient, and they are obedient when they are sent to death.

The cost of such a servant is not small.

Lan Niang poured cold water and said, "We don't even have money to buy the shops in the town." The descendants of the Huang family, who have a death contract, will cost twenty or thirty taels of silver for one person, and half of such a servant will not be sold individually, but they will be several. If you don't have a hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid you won't be able to get down. ”

"I just think about it, I can't even think about it, how can I earn it. Don't worry, I've already calculated, and when the dock is repaired, the money our family has saved can almost go to the dock to buy a good shop. Jiro said with a grin.

"It's been decided above, is it going to start?" Lan Niang frowned and asked. She didn't hear anything at all.

Erlang nodded and said, "It's confirmed." There are a lot of people from the Huang family this time. Although it was far away, they talked loudly, and I still listened a little. The dock is almost ready to be repaired. Let's go back this time, and it won't be long before the people who collect conscription this year are about to come. This year, our conscription is to repair the wharf. ”

At this time last year, I also went to do conscription. The year before last, it was Erlang's turn, and this year, it was the Mo family's turn to Sanlang. Although San Lang has already joined the Huang family.

But the Huang family was kind-hearted and knew about it, so they gave the Mo family's conscription money without saying a word. Let people go to the top of the quota.

The Mo family is separated, and Mo Erlang, who has a household registration, will have a person at home this year. Generally, if you go, you don't have to give money, but after a month, people will definitely lose. When ten of the men who had gone to the conscription returned, nine of them were sick.

Tired of working as a conscription, there are also people to supervise the work. If you cheat and slip, you will be beaten, and if you can't catch up with the deadline, you will still be beaten. I'm so tired, I can't eat. Two meals a day, breakfast and meals. The rice is porridge, and when it is good, it is a little sticky, and in general, it is a sparse gruel.

Jiro went there once, and after he came back, he didn't get to bed for three days. This is still young, and the body is good. An uncle from the same village went and came back with a serious illness, and the person was gone.

This year's conscription to repair the dock is certainly not dangerous, and the work must be tiring.

Erlang scratched his head and said: "This year's conscription, I will give money to let people pay, do you say it's okay?" ”
