Chapter 540: Ransom

Yan Yu wanted to stop, at this time, who would still sell firewood, it was so cold, he couldn't keep it to burn it himself.

can think of Yongning City and their Xiao'an Village have a lot of houses that have been crushed, maybe there are people who can't repair themselves, and they have to hire labor and buy materials......

If someone in the family is crushed, they will need a sum of money to see a doctor.

Gu Feng is still there, and the tiger really can't stop.

The official office is no longer sent out to work, and the stable firewood collection point in Xiao'an Village is a rare entry for the people in winter.

For her, it is to press some money, for those poor families, a few living money can save lives.

"Go, the firewood is still collected as usual, Gu Feng's side takes turns to pull it every day, and the tiger is still sent to the official office as before."

Yan Lao Er gave full play to his identity advantages, opened the door of convenience, and set up a small stall in the back street of the official office.

After going down every day, the village rotates the past scholars, and by the way, they work part-time to receive goods.

Occasionally, Yan Huaiwen will come out to pay......

With that, the children began to get busy.

Divided into several teams, they scattered around the village, and according to Yan Yu's request, the damaged houses were divided into three classes.

The first-class holes are small and easy to repair, the second-class holes are troublesome, and the third-class panoramic skylights are in close contact with the heavy snow......

Needless to say, the third class directly packed up and moved to Yan's house.

The first and second class all reported to Yan Yu, and she first wrote down which one it was, and then went to take a closer look when Master Lu freed his hand.

Yan Yu just needs to sit and wait at home.

There's a steady stream of news coming together.

To be honest, it was really comfortable.

This group of kids is really getting more and more useful.

……

For several days in a row, Yan Lao Er and Yan Yu traveled back and forth between Yongning City and Xiao'an Village.

"Dad, go to the quarry again today, you paid the ransom to the two Kang family uncles, let them come back early.

It's already a year later, so let's make it a few days in advance, so that the other side can be accommodating, and we'll make up for it after a while." Yan Yu suggested.

This heavy snowfall caused heavy losses in various parts of Guanzhou.

Roof collapses and injuries abound.

There are more people with frostbite, and many people have high fever.

stoned, frozen, and thrown to death......

The business of the coffin shop in the city is improving, which is not a good thing, in contrast, Xiao'an Village is undoubtedly lucky.

They acted in a timely manner, allowing the dilapidated people to move out, so that the situation did not continue to deteriorate.

The Yan family started, and the Qi family and the Hu family, who had brick and stone houses, also took in many people.

The head of the village also organized a snow clearing team and a house repair team.

The former carried a ladder to each house to clear the snow, while the latter followed Master Lu to tinker with limited materials.

[In view of the general environment,

There are too many houses that need to be repaired, not to mention the neighborhood, even the houses that make tiles farther away are also sold out.

Yan Lao Er thought of the quarry.

The rock slabs they used to pave the ground can also be used to deal with them, and yesterday they specially bought wine and food and prepared a New Year's gift that was not thin or thick and ran to the quarry.

The results are impressive.

The steward of the quarry was very face-saving, and let Yan Lao Er just let people come, and opened up.

"It's a bit understaffed." Yan Lao Er nodded and said, "In China, I will discuss with others, it should be possible."

Yan Yu thought for a while, and then said, "Dad, since we don't have enough people, this kind of heavenly quarry can't be opened, can you ask for more...... No, borrow a few more people, and we'll count the wages."

The wages were not destined to fall into the hands of these men, and they went into the pockets of the stewards.

If you don't let people get some benefits, why should people bear these things for you.

"Daddy, try it." Yan Lao Er didn't say anything to death.

……

Wait a minute, bring people to the quarry, Luo

The older ones went to load the car, and Yan Lao Er pulled the steward aside.

"Brother, now the charcoal is soaring all the way, one price a day, there are so many people on your side, the amount is a lot, right?"

"Speaking of this, the second master, you are rich, who of us doesn't know, the Yan family's firewood is only collected and not sold, hey, it's a lot of hoarding......" The steward rubbed his hands, there are some things that don't need to be said, everyone knows it.

"If the capital is small, you can engage in firewood, you can't earn a few copper plates, you can't collect it at a lower price, but you have to mention it, so that people can only collect more if they have a profit, and if they collect more, we can also earn more." Yan Lao Er has the face of a female businessman.

The steward nodded in agreement, "That's right."

"I'm really afraid they won't survive, and this morning, I heard about a few more ...... who froze to death This person is dead, and it doesn't get in the way of us, but if it goes on like this, how can we make money, and there will be no one to work!" Yan Lao Er pretended to complain.

The steward was silent, thinking of his own side.

A few have dragged out a few days in the past few days......

On such a day, it is not normal not to die a few.

"Today, I still want to discuss with my brother, how about borrowing a few of my people? There is no work in the quarry now, instead of letting them eat idle food, it is better to go to my place to earn a few copper plates......" Yan Lao Er counted with his fingers: "Repair houses, feed livestock or something, our village is close to the river, don't look at the cold, at this time, you can still catch a few fish by smashing the ice, but the river is too frozen, and you have to be vigorous!"

The steward understood as soon as he heard this, and asked with squinted eyes, "How much salary does Second Master Yan plan to give alone?"

Yan Lao Er settled accounts: "This person wants to go with me, I don't have to take care of the food and housing, now that firewood and charcoal are so expensive, I don't know how much they eat...... Six ...... a day for a person What's the matter with the Seven Texts?"

The steward said that you are black enough.

On weekdays, I have to pay about 20 yuan, which family does I help do, and the main family doesn't care about a meal? In winter, the salary has to be more expensive by a penny or two, but the charcoal mentioned by this Second Master Yan is not bad, he can not use it here, and people die in vain in him, but if people die outside, they can't tell.

When people are released to work, they have to take some risks at both ends.

Instead, someone else dared to fight this idea, and he gave him a crooked mouth.

But this Second Master Yan...... It's a different story.

In the end, if something really happens, people can bear it.

People are idle, and they can save some rations, no matter how they are counted, they are all earning, a person has seven wen a day, if there are ten people, it is seventy wen, and twenty is one hundred and fourteen......

The little abacus in the steward's heart crackled.

"This quarry is not something I can call the call for alone, and there are so many brothers watching, in case there is no doorman......

"Bawen, there can't be any more, I'm also responsible for it." Yan Lao'er's face hurt.

"Second master, your fingers are loose, give it a whole thing, ten wen! I am afraid that those people will not do their work properly."

"Don't say it, Jiuwen! When I get a fish, I'll send you a few, and let the brothers taste the freshness of this winter!"

"Look...... How else to say that your second master Yan is benevolent and righteous! Then I'll thank you on behalf of my brothers!"

"Haha! Then it's decided, I won't toss around here anymore, I'll take people away today, the salary is half a day, five wen, is it not in the middle?"

"The second master is kind, work under your hands, and they will be blessed."

"As soon as the wages are over, if I can't come, someone from our village will bring them over."

"Anything goes."

"There's another thing, I don't know if my brother is embarrassed, the Kang family brothers I mentioned to you years ago......
