Chapter 68: Drawing lots
Nangong Anshan said again about the need for manpower to build a workshop.
Zhou Lizheng said excitedly: "Okay, well, there are now twenty people building houses in your house, and if there are thirty more people who have jobs, it won't be long before there are many families in the village who can build houses." ”
"Yes, if the oil mill is built in the future, it will still need a lot of manpower, and it can also provide jobs for the villagers."
"That's great."
"It's just Grandpa Lizheng, I know that last time you were rumored by a lot of people because you designated someone to work at my house, and even in order not to let people say that you were favoritism, none of the children in your family and the children of your relatives were arranged in, which is actually unfair to your family, so let's choose someone in a different way this time."
Zhou Lizheng asked, "In what way?" ”
Last time, the people he designated to work at Nangong Anshan's house were all more difficult in the village, although his children also wanted to work, but he really didn't arrange anyone to let people gossip.
Nangong Anshan said what she thought.
Zhou Li said: "That's okay, just according to what you say." ”
"Well, Grandpa Lizheng will gather them all at noon, and you can work in the afternoon."
"Okay."
After Nangong Anshan went back, she prepared some bamboo sticks.
That's right, she plans to use a lottery to select people.
And Zhou Lizheng also followed what Nangong Anshan said, after eating lunch, while everyone was resting at home, he sounded the gong.
Most of the villagers heard the sound of the gong and gathered in front of Zhou Lizheng's tent.
The ten officials who stayed in the village were also told by Nangong Anshan in advance what they were going to do, and they also came over curiously to see the situation.
When the others were almost here, Zhou Lizheng stepped forward and said, "I believe everyone heard that His Royal Highness King Liwang sent someone to deliver building materials early this morning, and they are also curious about what His Royal Highness King Liwang is going to do in the village." ”
"Now I will tell you that His Royal Highness King Liwang is going to build a workshop in our village and do business with Nangong Anshan in the big house of the Nangong family, as for what kind of business it is, you will know it in the future."
"His Royal Highness King Liwang entrusted Ah Shan to find thirty people in the village to build a workshop, and Ah Shan wanted to use the lottery to select people, so he gathered you here."
The people present were suddenly excited.
"The person who was selected can be said to be working under His Royal Highness King Liwang in the future?"
"yes, yes, it's too face-saving to say it."
"However, His Royal Highness King Liwang only has thirty people, and we have hundreds of people, if we are unlucky, we will not be able to choose."
"Yes, I hope God willing, give me a job, so that I can also build a house for my family as soon as possible."
……
Nangong Anshan said in a loud voice: "Everyone, since His Royal Highness King Li has entrusted me to find someone, then I will tell me about my rules." ”
"First, the work of building a house is hard and dangerous, and for the time being, only men over fifteen years old and under thirty years old are needed."
"Second, the people who have had a holiday with me and their families don't have to come, you are not eligible to run."
"Third, the people who are building my house can't come, and the wages are the same everywhere, it's forty yuan a day."
"If you don't get selected, don't be discouraged, after the workshop is built, I will also recruit people to work in the village, and everyone will have a chance at that time."
Some of the villagers suddenly wilted, especially the people who were sad about Nangong Anshan before, and they regretted it very much, they knew that she would have something to do with King Lili now, so they didn't dare to offend her in the first place.
Nangong Anshan looked at the bamboo sticks on the table next to her, and said loudly: "Those who meet the conditions I said, come on, if it's fast, you can work in the afternoon, and you can have twenty copper plates in half a day, and I hope everyone will hurry up." ”
When they heard that they could work in the afternoon, some people immediately went to line up.
Nangong Hong was the first in line.
Nangong Anshan saw that the first one was her third uncle, and she also knew that his age was only twenty-six years old this year.
Nangong Hong was about to reach out to draw lots, but the lottery bucket was taken away by Nangong Anshan.
Nangong Hong frowned and said, "Ah Shan, are you unwilling to give the third uncle a job?" The third uncle has never hurt you before. ”
"Just let him smoke it, he can't draw it anyway."
Nangong Anshan wanted to refuse, but suddenly Taylor's words came into his ears, so he put down the lottery holder again, and said: "To be honest, I really don't want to, although you didn't trouble me like Nangong Cai and Nangong Miao before, but you never helped me, your children have also bullied my family, and you have never stopped it, I have a grudge against you." ”
Nangong Hong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and said: "Ah Shan, the third uncle is very sorry for the previous incident, you also know that the third uncle is timid and afraid of things, and he is also afraid of your grandmother." As for my children, I promise that I will never let them bully your family in the future. ”
Nangong Anshan said: "In this case, then I will let you draw once, but whether you can win or not depends on your own luck." ”
Nangong Hong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drew a lot.
Nangong Anshan glanced at it and said, "You weren't chosen, and the chosen sign has the moon pattern I carved with a knife." ”
Nangong Hong was a little disappointed, but he didn't leave, he stood aside, wanting to see what the winning lottery looked like.
followed by the second, Zhou Lizheng's eldest son, Zhou Zhenyang.
Zhou Zhenyang drew a lot, saw the moon above, and said excitedly: "Am I chosen?" ”
Nangong Anshan took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Yes, congratulations." ”
"Great, great."
Zhou Zhenyang was very happy, and he finally had a job.
Although their family's conditions are good in the village, they have also spent a lot of money on the road, and now they are building houses, and if they don't look for opportunities to make money, their family will have a hard time in the future.
This was followed by a third person.
Nangong Anshan saw that it was Wu Dayong, frowned and said: "I said, people who have had a holiday with me can't come to participate, Wu Dayong, are you taking my words as a deaf ear?" ”
Wu Dayong said: "Ah Shan, I was wrong before, I apologize to you, you just let me participate in the lottery, I will never bully you again in the future." ”
"Dreaming!" Nangong Anshan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and looked at the person behind him, "Uncle Wei, you come to draw lots." ”
Wei Zhongshan originally wanted to participate in the construction of Nangong Anshan's house before, and Li Zheng also looked for him, but he and his old mother Yu could go to the field at home, and King Li stipulated that he must farm, so he was busy with the work in the field before.
Now that his mother could do the work in the field alone, he went out to find a job to do.
When Wei Zhongshan saw Nangong Anshan talking, he immediately bypassed Wu Dayong, came to the table, and casually drew a bamboo stick.
