Chapter 1000: Diversion and Differentiation (14)
Before changing camps, Zhao Lin selected the group of 100 or so displaced people who had stayed for half a month to be resettled separately, and told them that they had now met one of the conditions for changing camps, that is, they had not contracted an acute illness, but if they wanted to change to the next round of camps, they still needed to meet another condition, that is, they could not be in debt.
Because the food is linked to the mat, a cup of soy milk is worth five mats, and it takes a day to weave a mat, so everyone is in debt, even if some debts can be reduced because of other work, but two meals a day, so this debt still accumulates more and more every day, and only the craftsman's family is positive.
"You are the first to come in, you can see what is going on in this camp now, people are sick every day, you are lucky not to be infected, now it depends on whether you want to seize this opportunity to change to a clean new camp." Teru said to them with a blank face.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll change it, I'll change it! The hundreds of displaced people shouted excitedly, no matter how the camp requires a clean environment, it will inevitably become dirty after receiving so many refugees, and it is naturally good to have the opportunity to change the environment.
"Then the current conditions are like this, if you want to change the camp, you can pay off the debts first, and the debts on the craftsman's family are cleaned, but if you want to change the camp, whether adults and children, men, women, or children, the hard condition is one hundred mats per person."
"One hundred? So much?! The hundred-dozen people were immediately deflated.
"The population in the camp is getting bigger and bigger, and it takes a lot of manpower to manage so many people, I am short of manpower, so I can only choose people from among you, if you are willing to do it, different positions have different wages, but this salary is to take the mats to deduct the number, when to accumulate a hundred mats and when to change to the next camp."
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
"Change, change! I'll do it! Count me in! ”
"Don't be in a hurry to agree, think about it clearly, when you go out to work, you have to deal with people, in case you get sick, it will be in vain, even if you save enough mats, you can't leave until you get better." Ugly words should be said in the front, so as to save disputes and ridicule in the back.
"That's better than staying here all the time, only entering and not leaving here, and people who haven't been sick for a long time will still get sick, so it's better to leave early."
"That's it, it's a gamble to live one more day, and I've already gambled here, so it's scolded to make people end up, and a few more bets, in case the leopard eats it all."
"Okay, then I'll report each of you now, remember how much you owe, and calculate how long you have to work."
Zhao Lin really took out a book, turned the pages one by one, and named them one by one, like them, they owe thirty mats a day, and they are four hundred and five in half a month, even if they have done any odd jobs before, they have only been reduced to ten figures, and they still owe more than 400 debts per capita.
The only difference is the family of the craftsman, the couple taught how many people to make mats they can't count, but the debt of two thousand and one is indeed offset, and there is still a small surplus, as long as their family does not leave for a day, half of the mats made by the apprentices of the church will still be counted on their heads, that is, they will not do anything, and they will be able to save enough to go to the next camp in a few days.
"Craftsmanship is different, I hope you can continue to maintain it until the next camp." Zhao Lin smiled and encouraged gently.
