"The big brother is also unlucky, we taught when we trained, to have three people in a formation, at least two people, so that you don't fall alone, he rushed too fast, and threw off the other two people at once, and he was surrounded by homeless people, and when we grabbed it, people's heads have been opened......"

The long-term worker on the other side was also explaining to the other family, "San Lang was knocked on the leg with a stick and fell, and was stabbed by the homeless people behind, it was too chaotic at that time, no one paid attention, and when he counted later, he found that he ......was gone."

On the other side, there was a kneeling person, crying bitterly and said: "The second cousin is blocking it for me, otherwise, otherwise I will be the one who will die, uncle, aunt, I can't stand you ......"

"Those homeless people are too fierce, they are a stick in front of them, he can't dodge, he happened to be knocked on the head, he shook his head at that time, he felt that it was okay, who knew that halfway through the kill, he himself fell without warning," another chief worker said: "At that time, we felt bad, and dragged the person back to Dr. Xu, but Dr. Xu said that he was bleeding too much in his head and couldn't be saved......

The four families cried into tears, and gritted their teeth with hatred for the homeless people for a while, "things, didn't the government recruit them to work, and they have food to take, why do they want to rob you?" ”

"The proprietor said that someone encouraged them to come, saying that the proprietor had a lot of grain, but everyone knows that the proprietor has bought a lot of things this year, and has spent almost the same amount of money, and the grain is only enough for our own home."

At this point, some people couldn't help but ask, "Did the owner say how to settle you?" ”

Other long-term workers also came over and said, "Xiaolang, they are gone, but the living are still alive." In such a world, you have to think for yourself. ”

The four were silent.

To work in the Lin family, it is necessary to sign a contract for more than ten years, and the four of them were poor and in a hurry to use the money at that time, so the children signed for 20 years.

This is the maximum number of years of the living deed, and further up is the death deed.

If it weren't for the Lin family's subordinates who didn't want the death deed at that time, they would actually want to sign the death deed for the Lin family's treatment.

It's just a living deed, and the Lin family also generously advanced their wages for five years, and what moved them even more was that the Lin family also took out the five-year salary after five years, and gave them half of the children every month, so that although the money is less, the children have money on them, and they can occasionally support the family.

Generally, after signing such a long number of years, people are equivalent to the Lin family, and during the work period, as long as the owner is not maliciously killed, life and death are generally at their own risk.

They never thought that the owner would place them, and it was already kind to be able to give the child a thick coffin.

Seeing their hesitation, a long-term worker couldn't help but step forward and said, "Grandma said that she would settle you well, so you might as well ask." ”

They also want to know how the owner will settle down, and if it is really good, they will be able to worry about it next time they encounter such a thing.

The four families hesitated for a moment, and when they saw Zhong Da Steward again, they were a little confused.

When the chief steward saw this, he understood it and led them to see his aunt, "What do you think in your hearts, so tell your aunt and grandmother that our aunt and grandmother are very kind." ”

The little proprietor was indeed very kind, and when he saw them, he asked them to sit down, and had tea poured for them.

Seeing that they lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, Lin Qingwan took the initiative to ask, "I promised that they would take care of their families, have you ever thought about it in the future?" ”

A few people didn't dare to speak.

Lin Qingwan said: "Since you don't have an idea, then I'll give you a few choices." ”

"One is that I will give you a one-time pension of twenty taels of silver;"

Several people's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but raise their heads to look at Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan said: "I know that Hu Dalang and Zhu Erlang have already married, and each has a child under their knees, if you choose the first one, then I will divide the twenty taels into two, their parents will take one share, and their wives and children will take one share." As for Jia Saburo and Ding Golang, their money was given to their parents. ”

This pension is very high at the moment, at least higher than the army's pension silver.

"The second is that we are still alive, and I will pay them every month, and you can come and receive them once a quarter. The salary is also divided into two, one for parents and one for wives and children. ”

Several people pondered, and their faces were a little hesitant.

Lin Qingwan continued: "There is another way, you either come to the Lin family to work, or come here to be tenants, and I will also take care of you. ”

Zhu Erlang's father couldn't help but ask, "How is the owner going to take care of us?" ”

"I will only take 30% of the land you rent for farming, and the time limit is 20 years." Lin Qingwan said: "If you come to work, you can have an additional bereavement pension, which will be paid every month until their parents die and their children grow up. ”

The four families all hesitated, looking at the first type of the most profitable, because the money was in place at once, and there was no need to worry about the Lin family regretting it in the future.

In the long run, the third and fourth options are the best, and even if you are reluctant to leave home, the second option is not bad.

Someone tugged at his father's sleeve, and the old people were silent.

Lin Qingwan got up and said, "You can think about it and give me an answer tomorrow." ”

Lin Qingwan left, and the four families dared to start talking.

"Dad, with twenty taels of silver, our family can not only build a new house, but also buy a cow.

"The owner just mentioned it and you forgot? This money is not only for me and your mother, but also for your sister-in-law and nephew. ”

Hu Erlang looked at his sister-in-law who bowed her head and was silent, pursed her lips and said: "The house is built for the family, and the cow is also made by the family, and the sister-in-law and nephew can use it, I think the sister-in-law should have no problem, right?" ”

Sister-in-law Hu pinched the corners of her clothes, her face changed several times, and finally she gritted her teeth and knelt in front of her father-in-law and said, "Father-in-law, I want to come to the Lin family with Xiaolang to work." ”

Hu Erlang almost jumped up, but when he saw that the other three families had looked over, he suppressed his temper and sat down, but his face was very bad.

Father Hu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's beg with Steward Zhong in a while." ”

"Daddy!" Hu Erlang shouted disapprovingly.

Father Hu glared at him, "This is in exchange for your eldest brother's life." ”

Father Zhu also looked at his second daughter-in-law, "Second family, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhu's second sister-in-law wiped her tears and said, "I listen to my father-in-law." ”

"That's good, our family will choose the second one, and you will come to receive the pension every quarter in the future, and every time you will save half of it from my and your mother's share, and make a dowry for the big girl in the future."

Zhu's second sister-in-law answered "yes" in a low voice, and she was grateful.

The in-laws have always been generous and kind, and when her husband came out to work, he told her to listen to her in-laws.

If these two families are chosen, it will be easier for the Jia family and the Ding family, Jia Sanlang and Ding Wulang have not yet married, so there is no such entanglement of interests.

They discussed it with their families, and the Jia family chose to take 20 taels at a time, while the Ding family chose to come here as tenants.

First, because their family has no land, and now they are tenants of other people's land, Lin Qingwan's three-percent rent is too tempting; The second is that this kind of world is backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade.

The four families were selected, and they went to find the chief steward of Zhong.

What happened in the flower hall was not hidden from Lin Qingwan, she thought for a while and said, "Take away half of the pension for Father Hu, and send the other half to Sister-in-law Hu in a month." Hu Dalang's son is only three years old, and he can't do anything when he enters the house, so he asked Steward Zhong to arrange an easier job for Hu's sister-in-law so that she can take care of the child. ”

Lin Qingwan said: "Tell them that if there is something difficult in the future, they can come to the other courtyard to find us, as long as it is a matter of reason, we can help if we can." ”

There is a long worker who is good at arithmetic and shook his head and said: "Loss, loss, we have four hundred wen a month, nearly five taels of silver in a year, and twenty taels is only more than four years' wages." ”

Someone sneered: "Everyone is dead, and it's good that the owner is willing to give twenty taels, not to mention that the owner also said it, you can also choose the second one, and the salary will be paid for 20 years." ”

But who can see that so much money is put here without use?

With those twenty taels, how much can the family do?

"If you want me to say that the most calculating is Ding Wulang's family, the owner only needs 30% of the land rent, they have many families, rent twenty or thirty acres, and work hard, but I am afraid that the family will get up in less than two years."

Now the families generally want sixty percent of the rent, the Lin family is lighter, but it also needs fifty percent, and the less two percent of the rent is one or two acres of land, which cannot be seen, but the rent is more, and the life is longer......

"But this is also the owner's final say, if the owner regrets it halfway, where will they cry?"

"If I want to see it, the Lin family is notoriously benevolent, and we have been here for more than a year, and the owner is not like that. As long as the Lin family still has land, I don't think the owner will regret it. ”

As soon as these words came out, many long-term workers with little land at home were moved, and it would be good if they also moved their homes over and planted directly on the land.

They work here for a long time, and their families work as tenants, not only to make it convenient for them to return home, but also to help their families when they are not working.

Something really happened to them, and the owner could take care of the family.

It's much better to make a living in a separate courtyard than outside.

No matter what everyone discusses, the biggest effect of this matter is to calm the hearts of the long-term workers, and Lin Qingwan's four appeasement measures make everyone put their hearts back in their stomachs.

They know that even if they have an accident, the owner will also arrange their family properly, and now in their eyes, Linjiazhuang is no longer the Zhuangzi they work for, but a family with their interests.

If Linjiazhuang is good, their home will be good.

It's just that Chief Steward Zhong feels that the consequences are a bit big, "...... If the Ding family rents too much land in the future, will we rent it or not? And there will be so many more in the future. ”

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "As long as their own family can plant, we will rent it." ”

"I'm not afraid that there will be more people coming to take refuge, but I'm afraid that there will be few." Lin Qingwan's eyes flashed with a bright light and said: "The most important thing for us now is to make them loyal to my Lin family, we don't lack land, what we lack is people." ”

Aren't there enough people right now?

Confusion flashed in Steward Zhong's eyes, "Grandma still plans to recruit long-term workers?" ”

Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and said: "It takes people to farm the land, and it takes people to protect the courtyard, and there are still fewer people at this point." When my grandfather was there, there were thousands of troops in our family. ”

Steward Zhong was taken aback, "Grandma, that will cost a lot of money, you," he asked in a low voice, "You want to rebuild the government army?" ”

"There will be money," Lin Qingwan smiled at him: "The most important thing now is to win people's hearts, these long-term workers are considered to have been on the battlefield, let Fang Datong and Yi Han select and select some people to cultivate first." As long as it is a great contribution to the Lin family, let alone rent reduction, even if it is rent-free. ”

Anyway, she doesn't have much of anything, it's just a lot of land, or land that doesn't have to pay taxes.
