Chapter 321: Oil Wells

"This ...... Why, are we not doing well? Please give us a chance, we will work harder!"

"Yes, please give us a chance!"

"Listen to me," Wei Wei quickly explained, seeing that they were in a hurry, "that's not the case. The clean-up of the www.biquge.info site has been completed, and tomorrow we will start building the equipment and the house, and there will be a three-day shutdown. ”

So it turned out that this was the case, and the old men breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked nervously, "Will we still be able to come after three days?"

"Of course you can!"

"That's good, that's good!"

It's just a three-day rest, and as long as you can come to work in the future, the old people don't have any opinions.

"But these three days are not for you to go back to rest. ”

The old people were stunned, what else could they do if they didn't rest when they went back, it was winter now, did they still have to go to the house to clear the snow?

"What does Lord Renault mean, when you go back in the next three days, spread the word in the village, because we need a lot of laborers. ”

"That's the problem!"

The old people patted their chests and assured that they believed that as long as they talked about the treatment here, it was estimated that everyone would fight and want to come over.

Vivi took out a few silver coins from her pocket and said, "Of course, you have not done it for nothing for the past three days, each of you will be paid one silver coin, and in order to speed up your efficiency, we will each borrow you a walking bird." ”

When I went back to talk and do publicity, I could also earn silver coins, and a few old people felt like they had fallen into a honey jar, and the beauty and sweetness in their hearts were ah.

So the next day, before dawn, they hurried out of the camp on the black walking birds, and set out towards their homes.

In the entire Tuk Basin, there are no people who do not know how to ride walking birds, they have been dealing with walking birds since birth, and they know more about walking birds than even their own loved ones.

But when these old people rode the black walking bird, it subverted their perception of walking birds in their lives.

In their decades of experience, the walking bird is a large, docile, powerful but slow bird, and in winter it is not very mobile, and sometimes stands there in a daze for half a day.

But the black walking bird, like a loose horse, ran on the snow at a gallop, and was originally planned to arrive home until noon, but it only took half an hour for the old men to return to their homes.

"Haha, old man Bu, didn't you go to work, why did you come back early in the morning?"

The old man, known as Old Man Bu, didn't want to pay attention to the joke on his neighbor's face, and went straight into his house. His old wife was having breakfast with his sons, and the shabby and coarse bread and the cloudy soup of wild vegetables seemed so glaring to him.

He said to his wife proudly, "Go and take a big piece of pork from the cellar and cook it." ”

"You're crazy!"

The old wife didn't even look at him, the winter was still very long, and the little pork in the cellar couldn't reach the spring.

Bang -

He slapped two silver coins on the table and waited for the shock of his wife and children.

"Where did this come from?"

Seeing the silver coin, the old eyes of the old man's wife were not so dizzy.

"This is yesterday's and today's pay. Old man Bu said proudly.

"So many?" said his eldest son, who was obviously unconvinced, "but today is just the beginning." ”

Old man Bu sat down leisurely and told him about yesterday's events, and the family did not recover from the shock for a long time.

"Father, that Lord Renault, it won't be on purpose, and then let you deceive more people, right?"

"Bastard!" said the old man, who almost didn't slap his youngest son, "is that the kind of person Lord Renault is? I've sat down with him for tea!"

After drinking tea with the lord, this sentence was more convincing than anything else, and the wife of the old man Bu thought about it, and immediately went down to the cellar and took out a piece of pickled pork. In order to survive this winter, they are frugal and have not eaten meat for a long time.

"Since you have been paid by Lord Renault, you should hurry up and go out on errands. ”

At the urging of his wife, the old man took two silver coins and led a black walking bird, and then began to shout among the neighbors.

Originally, there was nothing to do in the winter, and it was extremely normal for neighbors to run around each other, but when Old Man Bu went, many people were a little dissatisfied with him.

Because he didn't go to the house, he always liked to slap the two silver coins he had just earned on the table and start all kinds of bragging.

"You must have never eaten such a large slice of pork, it is the size of a palm, more than a dozen slices!"

"I know you don't believe it. But there's one more thing that you can't even think of in your head, beef! real beef!"

"There is also a pool, you can take a hot bath every day, it's as big as the three of you!"

......

Old man Bu boasted like a river, from morning to night, and soon the people nearby knew such a thing.

However, many people don't believe it, they think that Old Man Bu is bragging, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

There are also those who think it is worth trying, these people have relatives in other towns, and they have heard that the children who are sent to join the army really have meat to eat every day.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the third day.

Renault said that there should be a lot of people to sign up today, so Momiji got up especially early today. After all, she is the mayor and has a lot of responsibility.

Whether the oil wells can be developed smoothly and whether the problems of the two towns can be effectively solved can be seen from today.

According to Renault's plan, the two towns will no longer need to grow food in the future, and the development of oil wells and the reconstruction of roads will be enough for the people of the town to work for a long time. In the future, the maintenance of oil wells and the transportation of oil will make these people rich quickly.

But now, in order to evenly distribute the rain and dew, only one person is allowed to participate in labor in each household for the time being, after all, only one oil well is being developed now, and it is useless if there are more people.

When it was almost noon at the town hall, there were still very few people who came to sign up, and Momiji couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Momiji-sama, we're back. ”

Five old men rode black walking birds and came to the town hall in high spirits.

"Well, how's it going?"

"Don't worry, sir. Old man Bu patted his chest fiercely and promised, "I have already said that we have already agreed in our village, at least a hundred people, all in the back." ”

Several other people also said that there was no problem, after all, the two silver coins were slapped on the table, and they still had a certain weight.

Sure enough, as they said, after noon, a large number of people gathered, some came to sign up, and some came to see the excitement.

Mayor Wilton and Lorraine were immediately busy, carefully checking their household registers to prevent some families from becoming overcrowded. But they still think too much, it's good to have one person, and they all have the mentality of giving it a try, how can there be more.

By mid-afternoon, more than 600 people had signed up, and they were all taken to the construction site for settlement.

Renault looked at the long list and was quite satisfied with the number.

But soon he frowned, because the square outside the town hall was densely packed with thousands of people, who were noisy and shouting, and seemed to be very indignant. (To be continued.) )
