Chapter 141 Employment Agreement
On the second day, Song Yao and Red Sleeves went to Zhuangzi, brought a cart of incense, candles, paper money, and invited two little monks to recite scriptures for the deceased.
One of them is Jingchen, a disciple of Master Wuwei, and the other is his junior disciple.
As for the little monk Jingyuan, who was still vulgar in the finals of the God of Cooking, he has become Song Yao's subordinate and is learning cooking skills.
Song Yao didn't know if the overdose was really effective, but it was the most important thing to reassure those who were backing the mountain.
Song Yao didn't plan to hide the bones, so Liu Dalang gathered everyone together, and the red sleeves told the results of the investigation.
"This is the address where the relatives of the deceased live now, you go and inform their relatives and come and collect their bodies." Song Yao handed a note to Red Sleeves and sighed lightly: "These two little masters are the disciples of Master Wuwei of Guocheng Temple, and they can spend three days for the deceased, and then they can be buried in peace." ”
"In addition, Madame has prepared two bags of silver, which I ask you to pass on to the family of the deceased. Although their deaths were the work of the former owner of the Zhuangzi, the lady could not bear to see their families implicated to this day, and even their livelihood was in question. Red Sleeves handed the note and two bags of broken silver to Liu Dalang, and instructed: "Madame doesn't like trouble, so I asked you to do it, and there is no need for them to come and thank you." ”
"Madame is kind, which is a blessing for these two families." Liu Dalang sighed.
"It's all hard, but I'm lucky to have a good life today." Song Yao sighed with emotion and waved her hand: "Let's all go and get busy, I still have something to discuss with Hu Qing here." ”
"Madam, my ancestor was also a boatman, can you let me join as well?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "I was still young when there was an accident at home, and I didn't really build a ship, but my father taught me some shipbuilding skills, and I can only use small pieces of wood to make this kind of model at home." ”
"Naturally, you can." Song Yao smiled lightly.
The situation in this young man's family is not much different from that of the Hu family.
After the shipwreck, the two masters in charge of shipbuilding were the worst to be rectified by the Cao family.
Although they were not destroyed, the two families were not on the ship at the beginning, but one of the two masters was beaten to death, and the other was beaten to a disability, and he has been paralyzed for more than ten years.
When the villagers decided to follow Song Yao out of the mountain, Liu Laohan introduced the situation of all the families in the village to Song Yao, and did not hide it at all.
Song Yao always thought that the Meng family was not going to build ships anymore, but now it was a little surprised.
The young man in front of him is called Meng Ji, it is said that when he caught Zhou, he was the shipbuilding tool he caught, and his grandfather hoped that he could gather the elders of the Meng family, and the blue was better than the blue.
When the accident occurred that year, Meng Ji's grandfather was angry to death, and Meng Ji's father was also depressed because of his disability, but in recent years, he saw that Meng Ji was very interested in shipbuilding, so he regained his spirit and taught Meng Ji this craft, so as not to pass on the ancestral craft.
And the reason why Meng Ji can continue to study has a lot to do with the fact that Hu Qing has been secretly helping him.
The two families can't remember how many generations have been related by marriage, so they have maintained a good relationship until now, and this shipbuilding craft was also passed down from their ancestors when they got married.
"Thank you, ma'am!" Meng Ji happily bowed to Song Yao, his young face full of energy.
"There is one more assistant, and I am the one who should be thanked." Song Yao chuckled and said, "From today on, I will move to the house next to the eldest brother of the Hu family, and the food and wages will be settled according to the eldest brother of the Hu family." ”
"How?" Meng Ji hurriedly waved his hand vigorously and said: "I don't have Uncle Hu's skills, and I haven't participated in shipbuilding, at most I am an apprentice." ”
"You boy, ma'am, I'm helping you. Your father's leg has begun to rot, and if you don't heal it, you will have to ...... Don't thank you Madame, work diligently in the future, ask your father and Hu Qing more if you don't understand, strive to become a master as soon as possible, and truly serve Madame, which is the best way for you to repay your kindness! Liu Laohan kicked Meng Ji, as an elder, he was very happy to see Meng Ji open his mind.
Meng Ji was stunned, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Song Yao, so moved that he didn't know what to say.
Song Yao glanced at the young man on the side and asked him to help the person up, and then he spoke: "What happened back then made everyone's life difficult, and this heart is even heavier. I don't want to persuade anything, after all, grief doesn't happen to me, I can't empathize. ”
After a pause, Song Yao continued: "The people of the capital, you will arrive in Yunzhou City in these two days, and your hatred is coming to an end. If there are people who are willing to stay, and there are special circumstances at home, you can ask Daddy Liu to count the amount of silver and advance the salary from me. If you don't want to stay, I won't force it, the situation is like the Hu and Meng families, I can lend you money, and save people first before talking about the rest. ”
Song Yao's words made everyone excited.
After more than ten years of accumulated hatred, you can soon see the enemy pay the price, and there is no result that is happier than everyone.
Of course, Song Yao's words later, everyone will also think about it seriously.
Most people expressed their willingness to follow Song Yao at the first time, after all, their ancestors relied on going to the sea to eat, and farming was really a layman, and it was difficult to maintain even food and clothing.
There are also some people who do not respond directly, and they have to discuss it with their families.
But everyone's voices gradually fell, and Song Yao said the rules of employing people.
"Although you won't be going to sea for the time being, in the next year or two, those who are willing to stay will be responsible for building ships and training new people, and the treatment will be twice as high as what you used to do in the Cao family. Of course, I will still sign a long-term contract with you, and I will pay each person fifty taels of silver in advance according to the capitation, and if you are injured while working for me, these silver will be compensation for the work-related injury, and the appropriate compensation will be made. ”
"If there is a loss of life, I will give the bereaved family a lump sum of 100 taels of silver for burial expenses, and the bereaved family members are lonely, widowed, old and weak, and will be properly resettled."
"Even if Hu Qing and the others are preparing to build a new ship according to my drawings, as long as they go to sea, there will inevitably be a certain risk, so each person who goes to sea, in addition to wages, has a subsidy ranging from five taels to ten taels of silver per month. And no matter what kind of work you do, there will be a red envelope reward at the end of the year, and this amount cannot be determined. ”
"Land is fundamental, in the future, all those who work here will each get three acres of basic food ration fields, and in the future, even if the shipyard is not well managed, you can also be guaranteed basic food and clothing. Your family members can do something at the shipyard for the same salary as they do now. ”
"After the shipyard is officially in Caoyun, I will build a house for you in the open space next to Zhuangzi, and you don't have to worry about housing."
"The employment conditions I mentioned above will be written in the contract, and the interests of both parties must be clear. If anyone has any other doubts, they can also ask Daddy Liu to count them and then come and talk to me. ”
