Chapter Seventy-Eight: Don't Disturb Miss Ben's Efforts for the Rise of the Family
......
"Having said that, this pioneering project is often tens of thousands of dollars. Liu Yuanrui calmed down, but also a little suspicious, "I heard that in recent years, the Wang family has ......"
Over the years, the Wang family has been in dilapse, where did he get so much money?
"Don't worry. Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Brother Fool has already made arrangements for this. β
Liu Yuanrui's expression froze, is this a matter of worrying about it? I'm curious...... However, after all, he knew etiquette and understood the rules, and immediately kept his mouth shut.
Of course, Wang Shouzhe knew very well that his marriage contract with the daughter of the Liu family was a morale-boosting and motivating thing for everyone in the Wang family, after all, the Liu family was quite strong and could make the Wang family rely on it.
Even the elders of the family have this mentality.
But for the Liu family, the eldest daughter of the dignified daughter wants to marry the children of the declining family, and there are more or less complaints and emotions. It's just that this family affair is determined by the ancestors of both sides, and the younger generations are naturally not good at objecting.
It is also because of this that Wang Shouzhe is quite calm about this family business, that is, there is no rejoicing, and there is no arrogant rejection. If the Wang family wants to be truly strong, it is not by climbing high branches and hugging thighs to be strong.
Even if he knew that the juniors of the Liu family would inevitably have some complaints in his heart, he expressed his understanding very much. After all, on the surface, the difference between the Wang family and the Liu family is too great, and he will naturally feel unhappy to marry like this.
"Huh, Brother Shouzhe, there are a lot of people over there. Liu Ruolei was quite sharp-eyed, and through the window of the carriage, she saw a group of people coming here in the distance.
And behind that group of people, in the distance, there were groups of people coming this way.
"Those are all civilians from our Ping'an Town. Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Presumably, they all heard the news of my Wang's recruitment and came to respond." β
"So many people came to apply?" Liu Yuanrui was surprised, "Brother Shouzhe, how high is your Wang family's salary?" Stop the car, I want to see." β
His curiosity was aroused at once, this dredging and filling project is a huge project, if the price is increased again, the cost will be too great, how can the Wang family afford it?
Since Liu Yuanrui wanted to see it, Wang Shouzhe would not stop it, and told Wang to stop the car honestly. The rest of the generals also stopped one after another and guarded around the carriage.
Such a momentum naturally made those civilians dare not come over, so they could only bypass it far away and gather towards the shed.
"Don't crowd, sign up one by one. "Two fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, who are still a little immature, maintain order, "Our Wang family is a cash for work, and the remuneration is good, as long as you are willing to do things, you can ensure that your whole family can eat." β
"Come on, come here, come here and register. I, Wang's labor, food and shelter. "Young and strong laborers between the ages of 16 and 40 receive half a quintal of aged rice per month, healthy women receive 20 catties of aged rice per month, and teenagers between the ages of 12 and 16 receive 20 catties per month." β
The two little girls are both articulate and register people with their hands and feet. It seemed that it was too troublesome to explain one by one, so I simply found a clever young man and repeated these words a hundred times a hundred times on the side.
As for erecting a billboard or something, the two girls are not so stupid, and most of the tenant farmers and yeoman farmers are basically illiterate.
These young people are naturally Wang Shouzhe's younger brothers and sisters. With such a major event in the family, Wang Shouzhe didn't want them all to be idle, and participating together would help train them.
Whether it is the start of a major project or an event such as cash-for-work, it will help shape their sense of honor for the family and the correct view of the world.
"You, your name, place of origin, and household registration documents?" is that even Wang Luoqiu, the master who wants to "slaughter gods and destroy Buddhas" in the future, is doing things with a serious face at this time, registering every person who comes to apply.
However, her eyes were sharp and serious, as if she was examining the recruits one by one, and the girl resolutely did not let go of half of the ill-intentioned people.
"The villain's name is Ouyang Gouyu, a villager in Liuzigou Village, Ping'an Town. A young man with a yellow face and thin muscles trembled and handed out the household registration papers.
"You're only fifteen years old, and you can only count as a part-time worker, calculated at 20 catties of old rice per month. Wang Luoqiu said.
"Ah, girl. Ouyang Gouyu looked disappointed and pleaded, "Look at my body is very strong, I am used to hard work, can I count it according to half a load." My mother-in-law at home has not had a grain of rice for two days. β
"No, rules are rules. Although Wang Luoqiu is small, he is very principled, "However, we are here to eat and live." I can also give you an advance of 20 catties of old rice, so that you will not starve to death to your mother. β
"Thank you, thank you, girl. Ouyang Gou thanked him again and again, and tears of joy fell.
"Take these two bamboo plaques, you can get 20 catties of old grain. Wang Luoqiu gave him two signs, "Remember, you will have to work from today onwards, and you will receive food after work." Also, give this girl a little bit of courage, do things well, if you really perform well, Miss Ben will give you a full job. β
"Yes, villains must not be lazy. Ouyang Gouyu held two bamboo cards, as if he cherished them as if he had taken two lives.
"With this work card, there is a porridge shed over there, and you can drink porridge for free with the work card. After Wang Luoqiu registered his work card, he raised his hand with a serious face and drove people away, "Go, don't delay Miss Ben's work." Next, name, place of origin, age!"
Ouyang Gouyu took the work badge and two bamboo cards to receive rice, and left with a thousand thanks.
Wang Luoqiu's style is very sloppy, never dragging mud and water, and often gets one done in three or two clicks.
"Wang Luojing, what are you doing with grinding and chirping? Wang Luoqiu looked back, she was so angry that she had already done five, but Wang Luojing was still entangled with the second applicant.
Unable to stand it anymore, she walked over directly, glanced at the white-looking young man, and took out his hometown document and glanced at it: "Reader?"
"Xiaosheng exactly. The young man bowed slightly, a little proud.
"Can you do it like this?" Wang Luoqiu doubted.
"Xiao Sheng is a scholar, how can he do those hard work?" said the young man, "Xiao Sheng is full of poetry and books, and can be an overseer, and he only needs a monthly honorarium of ten loads of food. β
In those years, the literacy rate among the civilian population was very low.
Therefore, there is still a lot of way out for scholars, and government institutions, family foundations, etc., all need some knowledgeable people as backbones.
"We don't need a supervisor in our family. Wang Luoqiu responded coldly, "You can go." β
"You, you, you dare to underestimate the reader, little girl, let me tell you, only by reading can you be sensible...... You're so young...... Ah~"
Before the scholar could finish his sentence, the whole person flew out and fell into the mud.
"It's even more instigated than Wang Shouzhe. Wang Luoqiu snorted, "Someone is coming." β
"Sister, I'm here. Wang Shoulian ran over like a dog.
"Get this guy away, pull him into my Wang family's blacklist, and never hire him. Wang Luoqiu gave the order with great momentum, and then went to do the job of hiring and registering.
Looking at her cold and serious face, some of the recruits who were ready to fish in troubled waters quietly left the team.
Not far away, Wang Shouzhe and others had already walked over.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched slightly. Luoqiu, this broken girl, is really full of momentum. If you don't know, you really think that this little aunt is the head of the family.
Liu Yuanrui, who followed, looked at all this dumbfounded: "Brother Shouzhe, this strong laborer receives half a load of rice every month, will this salary be too little?"
And that little girl is so fierce, she seems to have quite an opinion on readers, and he, Liu Yuanrui, claims to be a reader...... It feels dangerous.
"Yuanrui, less or no less, you can ask the applicants in line. Wang Shouzhe said.
Liu Yuanrui was not hypocritical, he went up and asked a few, and said that it was enough. They all thanked Wang for standing up at the critical moment and giving everyone a bite to eat. Many of them also secretly complained about Liu and Zhao.
When Liu Yuanrui came back, his face was quite ugly: "The Liu family and the Zhao family are worthy of being the nouveau riche families who usurped the throne and came to power, and they have lost their conscience so much. Fortunately, Brother Shouzhe took action and came up with a way to work for relief. β
"Brother, you didn't quite agree with Brother Shouzhe's idea before. Liu Ruolei, the sister-in-law on the side, began to mend the knife again and said, "Now that the national policy is at the head, there are still families who deceive the upper and lower areas to take advantage of the lack of food, and engage in land annexation." If food prices are completely liberalized, I am afraid that the lives and deaths of thousands of civilians will all be in the hands of some top families, and some of them have the means to manipulate the rise and fall of food prices.
"Also, don't dislike Brother Shouzhe for giving less, now that everyone is short of food, it's amazing that Brother Shouzhe can work for relief. β
Liu Yuanrui's face flushed, and he glared at Liu Ruolei angrily, this broken sister, what are you doing to dismantle your brother's platform if you have nothing to do? Before you came, didn't you say that you wanted to train your future brother-in-law for your sister first?
Before he could reprimand his sister, he saw that Liu Ruolei had already walked towards Wang Luoqiu.
She quietly came to Wang Luoqiu's side, and said with some curiosity: "Little sister, what's your name?"
"Little sister, you are a ......" Wang Luoqiu was just about to go crazy, but when she saw that she was a beautiful young lady with a good temperament, she immediately restrained herself slightly, but said impatiently, "I, Wang Luoqiu." Whose child are you?Go and go, go and play elsewhere, and don't disturb Miss Ben to work hard for the rise of the family. β
"My name is Liu Ruolei, ah, your handwriting is so ugly. Liu Ruolei covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's better for you to ask, I'll register, it's faster." With that, he took the initiative to go up and help.
Wang Luoqiu was so hung that she fainted, and she dared to say that her handwriting was ugly?
Hmph, the huge Ping'an Wang clan didn't even dare to ......
Then, she saw the words written by the young lady of the other family, uh...... It was really good-looking, so he quickly "swallowed" the words back.
Then she thought about it, this Liu Ruolei's name was so familiar, and immediately, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "You are the rumored young sister of the Liu family?"
"Exactly. Liu Ruolei replied with a smile, she didn't expect her to be quite famous, so she immediately registered for the applicants more quickly.
"But you look so young, how can you have a child with Wang Shou, no, my fourth brother?"
"Huh?" Liu Ruolei was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she was stunned, where is Miss Ben small?
No, no, that's not the focus......
The point is, where is Miss Ben small?
Phew, that's not the point either......
What's the point?
......
