The woman who asked the question looked like she was in her thirties, slightly plump, smiling, and when she spoke, her tone was obviously flattering.
This is normal, people are afraid of officials.
For the villagers in such a remote mountain village, the county magistrate is already a very, very important official.
Shizhu is the one who is following the eldest man. He must be very powerful. The woman is not afraid of him.
Hearing the woman ask this, Shizhu looked her up and down first, making the woman nervous. Then she heard the young girl in front of her ask her: "Are you strong?"
Is it strong?
When it comes to this, the woman is no longer sleepy, and even feels a lot less nervous: "That's great. I'm not weaker than the men. I can also carry the burden they carry!"
Afraid that Shi Zhu wouldn't believe it, the woman even rubbed her hands and said, "If you don't believe it, I can pick it on the spot, no problem!"
The woman was not stupid, so Shizhu didn't refuse, saying that it was a woman who couldn't do it, so there was a chance.
Who wouldn’t want to come if given the chance?
Don't say anything, women don't show off, they are almost out of food, why do you care about those people?
In their village, there are girls of fifteen or sixteen years old running around barefoot.
What else can be done?
Let alone cloth shoes, don’t straw sandals cost money?
Not every household has this kind of craftsmanship.
Hearing what the woman said, Shi Zhu pointed to the team building a house not far away and said: "The work of digging the mountain is heavy. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it at the end of the day. You go and work on the house first. If you feel you can't do it well."
If you are tired, come here again, if you come over there, it will be twenty cents a day, what do you think?"
Shi Zhu didn't say anything, she decided where the other person would go, she just gave him a suggestion.
Most women really can't handle the task of building a mountain, so she gave her kind advice.
If the other party just thinks he can do it and wants to earn those five more coppers, she won't stop him, but he will definitely say the ugly things first.
If it's not done well, it won't be used the next day.
Dong Nuan is still rushing to make progress, and we definitely can’t let everyone fish for it every day.
Otherwise, what will happen to the progress?
When the woman heard this, she thought it was a little less, but she did take her own strength into consideration, so she nodded and said: "No problem, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I'll go here then?"
The woman is just greedy for the copper coins, and even less is fine. She may not be able to hold on to the work of digging mountains and carrying burdens for a whole day, so building a house is not bad.
So, she didn't choose and was grateful.
"Register here, get a badge, and use the badge to settle the money in the evening." Shizhu had a unified arrangement. After the woman agreed, she made a simple registration and gave the other party an employee badge.
.
After the woman took it, she carefully put it into her arms and was taken away to build a house.
Here in the warm winter, the three fronts of digging mountains, building kilns, and building houses are going on at the same time.
Because in the future, cement will be in Huiguang Village, glass may also be here, and important buildings and production lines will be in Huiguang Village, so some of our own people will definitely be stationed here.
Especially when the county government office cannot accommodate so many people, it is indeed necessary to arrange for people to line up outside.
If you live here, you can't always borrow money to live in a fellow villager's house. People's living conditions are quite tight.
We still need to have our own long-term development, so the building of houses is also progressing at the same time. It will be their staff dormitories in the future.
Of course, it may be more than that.
Because Dong Nuan felt that the soil and geography of Huiguang Village were pretty good, he could locate his land reclamation village here in the future.
Of course, that will be after the road is repaired.
Right now, road construction is the most important thing.
Cement production needs to be arranged, and then the road needs to be straightened out, and then cement is added to make it look smooth.
Lizhou is located in a remote area, and the prefect has great authority over many matters. As long as it is not particularly excessive and the emperor reports the matter afterwards, the emperor will generally not pursue it.
Of course, if the prefect dares to cause trouble, he is probably not far from being exiled to the northwest.
For things like opening a mountain and building a kiln, you can just report it to the prefect.
Magistrate Xu is the kind of person who, if you don't talk about money with him, everything is easy to discuss.
In most cases, his reply is: yes, yes, yes, OK, OK, OK, OK, no problem, no problem...
But once money is involved, his answer is three clicks: No, no, goodbye!
Therefore, when Dong Nuan discovered the mine, Hanjiang Tower asked the other party for instructions, and they immediately agreed without any hesitation.
No one understands the poverty in Lizhou or Jingxian better than Magistrate Xu.
If Hanjiang Tower could really create something, he wouldn't mind letting it go a little bit.
Your Majesty asked him to come because he wanted to see the results.
So, give it a try.
Being able to make money from just these things is what he is good at!
Because all the approval procedures went smoothly, the mining progress of Dongnuan is also pretty good.
In addition to the fact that the villagers didn't believe it at first and didn't dare to come forward to do the work, now there are some who are trying to do the work, and gradually there are more people.
The men are having sex, and the women are also ready to move.
Now that there is the first one, naturally there is a second woman who wants to try it too.
"My lord, we also need women. As long as you have the strength to work and are not lazy, you can do it!"
"Who said that? I don't believe it!"
"Anyway, Dashan's wife is gone. If it doesn't work, I have to try."
"Take me with you, I have the strength too!"
…
Because of the first one, there was a wave of women taking the initiative to grab jobs.
This puts a lot of pressure on men.
They usually work more, earn more, and have a good status in the family.
But now this...
"No, we can't let the woman take the lead!"
"Yes, we can't be suppressed by those bitches!"
"Yes, yes, we must not let them be too arrogant. When I went home last night, they didn't even give me a good look. They also make money, but they can't do it. They can't do it. Go ahead and work!"
…
The men are not convinced, and the women are not convinced.
At this point, the progress is progressing well.
It’s hot in July, but in winter, in addition to making two large multi-grain steamed buns every day, we also provide everyone with unlimited mung bean water.
Moreover, during the hottest time at noon, everyone was allowed to rest for more than an hour to avoid the sun to avoid heatstroke.
For ordinary people, working part-time in the homes of those masters is not so comfortable!
So, go ahead, what are you still doing?
Of course, there are also those who are lazy and want to take advantage of others.
However, after being discovered, he was immediately blocked and refused to be hired again.
As long as your hands and feet are diligent, the twenty-five cents will be a steady stream, and you can earn much faster than farming by yourself.
So, why be lazy?
The lazy guy who was blacklisted regretted it, but it was no use.
Hanjiang Tower must kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so some rules must be established from the beginning.
If you are lazy, you just don’t need it, and it’s useless to beg for mercy.
