Chapter 17: Beginning to take shape
"What are you making a fuss about?"
Qin Zhen smiled, and he couldn't help but ask.
"What? You're not going out fishing with me? ”
Textile is originally prepared by Qin Zhen for the women and children in the village, they don't have much strength, they can't go out like men, and they can weave cloth in the village and mix work, which is good!
Li Han came back to his senses at this time.
Oh, yes! He's going to follow Qin Zhen out to catch fish! A fish is forty yuan! Who still weaves cloth?
He scratched his head in embarrassment and stepped aside.
"As I said before, the one who has chopped wood for me will be given priority."
Qin Zhen also adhered to the principle of fairness and openness, and selected more than 30 village women who contributed the most.
Naturally, he wouldn't let people do it for twelve hours, and these thirty or so people were divided into three shifts by him, and they took turns.
If you want to work overtime, it depends on whether others agree or not.
According to Qin Zhen's prediction, more than a dozen textile machines should be able to produce more than 20 pieces of cloth per day, according to the current market of big merchants, the market price of a piece of cloth is less than ten cents, and there can be more with good quality and bright colors.
After removing the cost, the income of only one day is about 70 yuan.
You must know that the textile industry is not advanced, which means that there is a shortage of fabrics on the market, and there is no need to sell at all.
It's a sure-fire deal.
At this moment, those who did not look down on the work and did not help cut the wood could not sit still.
One by one, they began to make noise.
After receiving assurances from Qin Zhen that they would build more looms and hire their helpers, the women in the village were content to give up. And thinking that he must come to keep an eye on Qin Zhen often, he must not be lazy and delay himself to make money!
At this, Qin Zhen couldn't stop laughing.
With so many people rushing to help him make money, can he not be happy?
Every day from then on, from early morning to night, you can hear the sound of intensive pedaling. The women who have been idle for most of their lives, one by one, are like being beaten with chicken blood, working day and night, and they have either a bad stomping machine or their momentum.
Qin Zhen's heart was pounding.
In contrast, the men in the village are much more laid-back.
Every day, when I wake up, I either go to the village to gather, or lie in the mud in a daze.
Qin Zhen saw that this was not good, they had to find something to do, and the ready-made population could not be wasted! Immediately gathered all the old and young masters in the village.
"There is more property in the village now, and we have to take responsibility for it, the village is ready to set up a village guard, and some of them go to Chen Shu to sign up, not in vain, two meals a day, the kind with meat."
A meal of meat, who will accompany you to play with your life?
It's like who hasn't eaten meat!
When the bandits come, a fool will give his life here.
Of course, some people are noncommittal, and some people resolutely join.
As Qin Zhen expected, most of the mothers-in-law who chose to join the village guard were helping in Qin Zhen's textile factory. There is no need to use money to buy people's hearts, they only need to let their interests be closely linked to Qin Town, and they naturally understand that protecting the village is to help themselves.
Chen Shu will train them, although they will not train the villagers to be cut down when they see people, but how can they become village soldiers who dare to fight hard in the face of robbers who invade the village.
"If you don't want to join the village guard, you can do it, our fishing team also recruits people, the fishing team does not settle monthly, it is settled by time, and each person who catches a fish is 100 yuan, and if you want to do it, go to Liu Quan to register."
Fishing is also a life-threatening errand.
It's not just about fishing in the sea, it's about this treacherous world!
A hundred texts is actually not much in Qin Zhen's heart.
But for the poor and afraid of the small fishing villagers, one hundred wen is a huge amount of money that they can't even imagine!
Immediately, many people clamored to join.
Alone, some lazy people who had neither joined the village guard nor had chosen the fishing team stood in place.
As a modern person, Qin Zhen still respects the wishes of the villagers very much.
In line with the idea of waste utilization, he immediately proposed a third plan.
"The village is in tatters and needs to be repaired. If you don't want to join the village guard or the fishing team, you can help dig ditches and build walls, reclaim wasteland, and I have the tools, and I don't work in vain, and I have three meals a day. ”
Considering that this was a waste of physical work, Qin Zhen also deliberately added an extra meal to them.
Immediately, many people were moved.
There were only a few lazy men left, still indifferent, smirking with their nostrils buttoned.
For such a person, Qin Zhen can only give up the helping complex and respect the fate of others.
Under the leadership of Qin Zhen, the peaceful small fishing village suddenly became lively, changing the previous dead silence and decadence, and becoming vibrant.
During this period, the old village chief specially came to Qin Zhen once.
"Zhen'er, I know you're doing good for the people in the village, but don't let yourself lose, you know?" Hearing that Qin Zhen paid out of his own pocket to find something for the people in the village, the old village chief was both relieved and distressed, he knew that Qin Zhen had made a lot of money by killing bears, but he couldn't help but be so defeated!
Don't look at the good people in the village now, if Qin Zhen loses money in business one day and can't pay his wages, maybe what the people in the village will say!
The old village chief was worried that Qin Zhen was too young to know how to fight Mi En!
"I also heard that you're going to do business with the thugs on the other side of the sea?" The old village chief persuaded bitterly: "The people outside are no better than those in the village, so I don't know how dark my heart is!" If you really can't do it, forget it, don't put yourself in it, if something happens to you, what will you do with Juan'er? ”
At that time, Qin Zhen was making repeaters, and when he heard the old village chief's consolation, he couldn't help but feel a warm heart.
"Village chief, it's okay, I know it in my heart."
Seeing Qin Zhen's insistence, the old village chief, who knew that he couldn't persuade him, could only shake his head and sigh, praying in his heart that the gods would bless Qin Zhen from accidents.
At this time, Chen Shu came to the door.
"Zhen'er, the skins have arrived, do you want to take a look?"
These days, Chen Shu led the village guards to go up the mountain to practice when they had nothing to do, and they shot a lot of wild animals.
Accumulated a lot of skins.
Before, Qin Zhen asked Chen Shu to contact the person who collected the skins, and wanted to realize the backlog of skins.
Now, at last, man has come.
"Let's go!"
Qin Zhen got up and threw the finished repeater to Chen Shu.
The old village chief also hurriedly got up and followed along.
The village was already full of people.
A convoy of seven or eight people lay across the entrance of the village, and the black-skinned mules pulling the cart exhaled hot air through their nostrils.
There are already villagers in the surrounding area who have taken out their accumulated hides and sold them.
The bargainers fought for the price with red faces and red ears, and spit was flying.
"Lao Chen!"
The middle-aged man led by him waved towards Chen Shu from a distance.
This person was a little thin, wearing a blue horse coat, and his skin was rough and dark, and at first glance it looked like the kind of traces left by running in the mountains and being exposed to the wind and sun.
"Let me introduce, this is the acquaintance I told you, Lin San." Chen Shu introduced to Qin Zhen.
Then he looked at Lin San again and said in a deep voice.
"Lao Lin, this is my brother, Qin Zhen."
