Chapter 16: Qin Zhen's Plans
"If you don't run, can you still do it with them?" Chen Shu smiled.
But looking at Qin Zhen's determined eyes, he soon couldn't laugh.
"I have renovated the spinning wheel I bought, Juan'er is very easy to use, and can produce a lot of cloth, I plan to take some people to cut down some trees, do more, and let the sisters and aunts in the village come to weave...... In addition, I discussed with Brother Scar, we will catch fish and deliver it to him, and when the time comes, we should be able to carry the cloth from the village to the city and sell it......"
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Chen Shu was a little confused for a while.
"Don't tell me so much, I'm not as smart as you think, just tell me directly, just do what you want me to do!"
"The village will soon become rich, and it will inevitably be remembered, so I need to prepare early." Qin Zhen looked directly at Chen Shu: "You can't count on those officials in the county government, right?" ”
Having said that, Chen Shu couldn't understand it anymore, so he had been a scout for so many years in vain.
"You kid has a long-term view."
Chen Shu was surprised, he hadn't made any money yet, so he was thinking about how to defend himself.
It's a buildable material!
After a moment's thought, he gladly agreed.
"It's just that it's not easy to make the people in the village obedient." Chen Shu said meaningfully.
There are more than 300 people in the small fishing village, half of whom are men, and only a dozen people are willing to follow Liu Quan into the sea to catch fish, not to mention those who dare to go into the forest to hunt.
All of them are willing to eat Guanyin soil, and they are not willing to take risks, and the bandits scattered in a hurry before they came, and it is not easy to want these people to defend the village.
"I'll take care of this." Qin Zhen was full of confidence.
After convincing Chen Shu, Qin Zhen went home.
"Zhen'er, my newly made clothes, you can put them on and try them on!" Liu Juan greeted her with a white shirt.
Her technique is very good, her white shirt is clean and neat, and she is very comfortable to wear.
"Juan'er, your craftsmanship is awesome."
Qin Zhen originally had a good foundation, and when he put on new clothes, he seemed to be in a lot of spirits.
"Our town is also a handsome descendant of ten miles and eight towns!" Liu Juan's face was red, and her eyes were gentle and eager.
"This loom is good! Look how well this material is woven! The women in the village were hot-eyed: "This material can be sold for money in the county seat!" Why do you say that Qin Zhen's head is so good? If only I had a loom at home. ”
"Don't think about it, it was specially made for Juan'er by Zhen'er, can you use it for anyone? Isn't it Juan'er? ”
The ridicule of the eldest lady and sister-in-law made Liu Juan's face red as blood, she couldn't close her legs with a smile, and her heart became sweeter and sweeter.
"Zhen'er, do you think you can make one for us too?" Aunt Wang said embarrassedly.
Every day, watching Liu Juan easily step on the pedal to weave cloth, she doesn't want to be envious.
How nice would it be if you had one of them?
Liu Juan also helped persuade: "If you are in charge, you can make one for Aunt Wang and them, right?" ”
She has a kind heart, she doesn't have so many crooked thoughts, and when she heard that Aunt Wang wanted, she helped to beg.
I don't realize how important a textile machine is.
"But I need wood to make this thing, and I don't have that much wood in my hands." Qin Zhen acted as a problem.
"Isn't that easy?" Aunt Wang should be a difficult matter: "I'll let Liu Quan take someone to cut down the tree!" We have nothing else in this poor mountain pass, there are so many trees! Still worried about the lack of wood? ”
Seeing Aunt Wang hurriedly go back to shake people and cut down trees, the others couldn't sit still.
One by one, they rushed up, almost not stepping on the threshold of Qin Zhen's house.
"Zhen'er, let's go cut down trees too, do you think you can make one for us?"
"No, no, no."
Qin Zhen shook his head: "You all know that the loom is a thing that can make money, in the future, I expect to transport the cloth woven by Juan'er to the county government to sell it for money, if there is one person, wouldn't the cloth be worthless?" ”
"Then why did you make it for Aunt Wang?" Someone immediately asked sourly.
"Aunt Wang is my aunt, can it be the same?" Qin Zhen's answer was impeccable.
From childhood to adulthood, the village chief's family has indeed helped the Qin family a lot.
Qin Zhen built a textile machine for Aunt Wang, and no one could pick out the thorns.
But they are all villagers, and it is always very uncomfortable to see that other people's homes have them, but their own families do not have them.
At this time, Qin Zhen's words changed.
"But there are too few looms, and it is true that there are not a few pieces of cloth to be made, if you are willing to help make wood, then I will build a few more looms, and ask you to come and weave cloth, and give you wages?"
"No, it's not for nothing?" Immediately, some people quit and talked about Qin Zhen being dishonest.
In the eyes of many people, isn't it just a textile machine? Qin Zhen's family is so rich, isn't it natural to help the villagers?
Qin Zhen didn't care either.
It is true that he wants to build a small fishing village, but he does not raise idlers.
There were also some lively village women who agreed to Qin Zhen's request.
Immediately go home to find their respective men and prepare to cut down trees.
Seeing that Qin Zhen would not let go no matter how he asked or what he said, those villagers also dispersed in disappointment.
Qin Zhen also had kung fu and began to delve into fishing nets.
For several days, Qin Zhendu's cat did not go out at home, and the wood in the yard was piled up more and more, and finally the yard could not be placed, so it could only be piled up outside to form a wall.
Qin Zhen also kept his promise, built more than a dozen textile machines in a row, and found an open space next to the yard to stack them. Except for the one given to Aunt Wang, the rest were fixed in the mud in an orderly manner by him.
On the day of completion, the women of the village gathered around again.
The leader is Li Han's mother, a middle-aged woman who is quite honest and responsible.
"Zhen'er, you said earlier that you could come over to help with the cutting of trees, is it true?"
"Of course!"
Qin Zhen explained to the villagers with a smile.
"It's all from the same village, I can't pit anyone, don't you? In this way, whoever comes to me to weave cloth shall be counted as one shift for four hours, and each person shall be paid three cents for each shift, plus two meals, and the wages shall be paid daily. ”
You must know that the annual harvest of ordinary people is only 1,000 yuan.
That is, a tael of silver.
Converted to less than three cents a day.
Qin Zhen is here for four hours, if you do it day and night, you can earn nine dollars a day!
And two meals?! Is there such a good thing in the world?
The villagers immediately boiled and rushed towards Qin Zhen one by one.
"Zhen'er, I hugged you when you were a child, you can't forget your aunt at this time!"
"Zhen'er, I've cut down a tree for your family! Do you have to count me in? ”
There are more looms than people, and if you don't grab them, you won't be able to grab them!
Li Han also squeezed through the crowd at this time, and held Qin Zhen's hand stubbornly: "Zhen'er, I didn't ask you for anything, you must take me this time!" I...... I'm pretty fast at weaving! ”
