Chapter 159 Is dad still so selfish?
"We are willing. Mr. Yu, please tell me when we will start work, and when will the start of work arrive? After all, we have wasteland to open at home, so the time won't be too long."
Liu Mingxia also brought the ugly words to the forefront. Although fifty cents is in his hometown, he can hire two country people to work, but they can't be stupid and work from morning to night, right?
"Dad, I think instead of going through the trouble of paying everyone a daily salary, it would be better to contract our work directly to them and give them a set time to complete it. This way they will naturally know how to arrange their time reasonably, and they can also take care of their own homes.
's fields."
We are all acquaintances, and if someone is working as a foreigner with a salary of tens of cash per day, it will be really difficult to lose face and curse others.
If you encounter a shameless person, when you turn around, he may start to bully the foreign workers again. He has to keep watching them work, which is also physically and mentally exhausting. This is not what Yu Luo wants.
So when Liu Mingxia raised doubts, she thought of this compromise.
As soon as this suggestion came out, Yu Haojie's eyes lit up, but the others were blinded, feeling that Yu Luo and the others were being a little unkind.
But they still think that after one year, they will save dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver!
Even if you don't go back, as long as you can buy the corresponding supplies, it's okay for everyone to eat and drink here.
"Twenty Wen."
But I have to say that this kind of thing where you work hard and get more is definitely not easy. Even if you want to be lazy, for the sake of money, everyone will supervise each other and there will be no chance to be lazy.
"Second uncle, how much does it cost for the villagers to dig the foundation per day?"
Seeing that his father was stupid enough to be the first person and acted like he thought he was smart, Yu Shanhai couldn't help but talk to him.
"Isn't this too cheap? Just one hundred taels for digging such a big fish pond? According to the time when people in the village dug foundations, it would take ten grown men two days to dig a foundation!"
"Dad, Brother Haojie is right. This kind of good thing was given to us because everyone came together. In fact, their little boy, according to the speed at which it digs holes, can
Is it slower than us? Even if the second brother doesn't let us dig it and lets Xiao Yi dig it, the pond will be dug out sooner or later, and after the water is stored in the future, we can all use it."
The rest of the land reclamation will be calculated for you according to the contract price. For example, if you open an acre of wasteland and we pass the inspection and meet the standards for growing crops, we will give you ten taels of silver for one acre of wasteland. If you open 100 acres of wasteland, we will
Give me one thousand taels of silver, so if you want to make more money, you will have to open up more wasteland.
What Yu Haojie said made Yu Liang speechless, and everyone who heard it immediately panicked!
After all, in this wild land, there might be no one else except Yu Haojie who hired them.
In addition, after the wasteland is cleared, manpower will definitely be needed to farm it. So based on one acre of land, I will give you 20 taels of silver for planting one acre of land, and 200 taels of silver for cultivating 100 acres of land. No matter how many of you there are.
How many people are there to plant the seeds? Anyway, I only want the results and we are satisfied with the work. When the time comes, I will pay you a lot of money, and you can divide it yourself."
Besides, after digging out the fish pond, we still need to divert water. In the future, when you open up wasteland and water crops, other than getting the water from my fish pond, do you have any other place to go?
Don't be so scheming, let's just muddle along. There are more than a hundred of us exiled in this barbaric land. There are many more, such as the dozen men in that stone house. Believe it or not, I gave them ten cents.
They are willing to do it for a day’s wages, and they still want it?”
"This is a good idea, but judging from everyone's expressions, they probably don't understand what it means. Xiaoluo, please explain it clearly to them, so that everyone will not have any doubts."
As soon as Yu Luo opened his mouth, everyone felt that their previous excitement was suddenly reduced by more than half!
Yu Luo said a lot in one breath, and everyone listened attentively. They kept moving their fingers and calculating how much money each of them could get to open a hundred acres of wasteland by building a fish pond.
After a while, everyone was completely confused about how much money they could get.
Yu Liang spoke without hesitation, looking confident and confident.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the person who spoke, including Yu Luo and his daughter.
"Yu Junjie nodded. There are about fifty grown men here. Even if it is twenty cents a day, then if I pay wages, I only need to give one or two cents a day. I can dig out a fish pond in thirty days.
Only thirty taels.
Well, for example, if our family wants to dig a three-acre pond, the pit must be two meters deep and there must be no leakage. As long as you can do it, after the pond is completed, our family will pay you one hundred taels of silver.
Whoever participates will be divided.
"What my father said is true, let me explain it to everyone.
If God opens his eyes and allows them to go back, then the money they save can also be used to save money after returning and the confidence to return to their hometown.
But in digging fish ponds, in addition to the size, depth, and leakage quality of the fish ponds, we also require that it must be completed within one month. If you delay for one day, we will deduct one tael of silver, and if you delay for two days, we will deduct 2 taels of silver.
, and so on.
The one hundred taels that Xiaoluo mentioned was given generously out of consideration for everyone's shared life and death. Besides, for fifty grown men, you can dig them out in no more than a month, but at most ten days.
Not to mention digging a pond for one hundred taels, even if it was only ten taels, it would still require buying a lot of rice. Why didn't they do it?
In fact, there is only so much work. After the farmers plant the seeds, there will definitely be nothing to do except watering. Therefore, we cannot pay you fifty cash every day. In that case, your income will be cut off.
.
Just when everyone was wondering whether they were being squeezed for labor by Yu Haojie's family of three, unexpectedly, a discordant voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.
When his son said this, Yu Liang had no room to refute.
"That's all, for this kind of matter, since I'm old, I can't go to the ground anyway, you can figure it out on your own."
After saying that, with a bit of worry on his face, he turned around and left angrily with his hands behind his back.
Looking at her father's back, Liu Lan was speechless for a while!
"Dad is still so selfish. How old are you now? Why can't he go to the fields? If he can go to the fields, our family can get more money. It's true!"
