Seeing Zhang Heng stop her, Ya Po wanted to take care of the little girl.
Dakui directly raised the gun in his hand: "You old man, what our brother Heng says is whatever he says, you don't have to talk anymore!"
When Ya Po saw it, she stepped back aggrievedly and muttered: "I am doing this for the sake of the master."
"Stop talking nonsense, how much is it?"
Zhang Heng was not in the mood to talk nonsense with the old lady.
"There are eight rough envoys and wives, each of whom has to take care of food, food and housing, and a monthly salary of half an ocean."
Just like a long-term worker.γ
"One watchman, one concierge, two oceans of taps, no monthly payment, while taking care of food and housing, I need 30 kilograms of millet a month."
"For a rice lady, the tap is three yuan, and the monthly payment is one yuan."
"There are also four little maids, all of whom are beautiful in appearance and age. Each of them will cost twenty yuan, and they can sign a death deed. If they buy it, they will be yours. If you are happy, please reward them.
If you're not happy, you can deal with it as long as no one is killed."
Renzhuang's business is divided into two types.
One is a death contract, that is, if the person is bought, if he signs, he will be a maid for life.
There is also a living deed, signed for ten, twenty, or thirty years.
This kind of people usually sell themselves. If they can no longer survive at home, they sell themselves to a wealthy family as a servant. While supporting themselves, they can also get a monthly salary to subsidize the family.
When the contract expires in the future, you can continue to sign it or not.
Those who don't sign can go back to their respective homes, and the host's family doesn't have to worry about pensions or anything like that. Even if the family's life is better, they can redeem the deed.
"Cousin, give her 150 yuan."
Zhang Heng did not bargain after hearing this: "Bring me the deed. Also, if you have good goods in the future, remember to go to Zhang's house in Dagou Town and let them know. I'm willing to pay any amount to anyone I like."
"Don't worry, uncle, I'll have some good stuff later. I'll let you take care of it first."
Yapo agreed happily.
"Cousin, your old courtyard might be a little crowded with so many people living there."
After teething, Zhang Zhentian couldn't help but remind him.
Zhang Heng did not answer this question, but said something else: "I see there is a large courtyard with five in and five out in the north of the town."
"Chen Family Courtyard?"
Zhang Zhentian quickly thought of whose family Zhang Heng was talking about, and hesitated: "The Chen family used to be the richest man in Dagou Town, and their ancestors were county magistrates. Although they are somewhat defeated now, they may not sell this yard.
!β
"If you don't sell it, it's just because the price is not right."
Zhang Heng didn't take it seriously.
"Then I will communicate with the Chen family after I go back."
Zhang Zhentian knew this was a difficult task.
Generations of the Chen family have lived in the town for more than a hundred years, so how could they just move at the drop of a hat?
βThe price is sufficient.β
"It doesn't matter if it's one thousand, two thousand, or even three thousand, I'll give it to them, as long as they are willing to move."
Zhang Heng doesn't care about money.
It would be best for the Chen family to move away on their own. He didn't want anyone to gossip behind his back for a few thousand dollars.
But after all, this is a country yard. No matter how high it is, it will stop at three thousand oceans.
You must know that Mr. Zhou Shuren only spent 3,500 yuan on a three-bedroom, 32-room courtyard house in Yanjing.
The construction cost of a five-entry courtyard with 72 rooms in the town is the same as, or even inferior to, a three-entry courtyard house in Yanjing. After all, Yangjiang County is a small place and prices are not as expensive as Yanjing, so the construction costs are different.
If it weren't for the good location of the Chen Family Courtyard, it would take a long time to build another compound. It would not necessarily cost 3,000 yuan to build a five-in and five-out quadrangle with the specifications of the Chen Family Courtyard.
After all, labor is cheap these days, and you can pull the stones and wood from the mountain yourself, so building a house is relatively simple. "This is how the old house of Lao Long's family was built. It was more than 70 years ago, and there was no salary. He came to help and took care of three meals a day. Listen to me.
Grandma said that there were big bones in the dishes as meat, and some scraps of meat. People at that time had no fat or water in their stomachs, so they could eat more than small pigs, and one person could eat less than half a bucket."
afternoon.
One hundred thousand catties of millet.
Fifty thousand kilograms of rice.
Fifty thousand pounds of white flour.
Ten cows, one hundred pigs, one hundred sheep, one thousand chickens, and one hundred thousand catties of various vegetables.
Zhang Heng went shopping all the way, preparing to hold a running banquet for three days in a row after he recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan.
He even decided on the theater troupe.
The Chaochaosheng Opera Troupe in the county was scheduled for three days, just for the fun of it.
Spending money flowed like water for a while, and thousands of dollars went into it in the blink of an eye.
However, Zhang Heng felt that the money was well spent.
After traveling thousands of oceans, what I gained was the hearts of the people.
Zhang Heng will use these three days of running water to let everyone in Dagou Town understand that he is not an outsider.
"Since you are following me, you must have some rules, not the same as at home."
"The first is the kitchen. From now on, Granny Fan will be responsible for it, and then it will be handed over to your two rough ladies, who will be responsible for three meals a day."
"For the rest, you can decide among yourselves who will be responsible for cleaning the courtyard, who will be responsible for starching and washing clothes, who will be responsible for mending, and who will be responsible for keeping watch at night."
"Four little girls, they will serve me by my side from now on."
"Boiling water, pinching shoulders, beating legs, and warming beds are all your jobs."
"Of course, the Chen family compound has not been purchased yet, so you can have some leisure time. When you move to the compound, you will have to perform your duties."
"Looking back, I will hire a butler. He will be your chief steward from now on."
"As for the monthly payment, I am not a wealthy landlord who treats other people inappropriately. You can rest assured about the monthly payment."
"As little as a piece of ocean, as much as two or three yuan. How much you can get depends on your dedication."
"You all have families, and you don't have enough to eat, so you have no choice but to sell yourself into slavery."
"I understand you. After I get my monthly payment at the beginning of the month, I will give you a few days off so that you can go home and visit."
"But I'll say it in front of you, and I'm not allowed to cheat on you."
"If anyone talks too much and is restless, I will send her to Aquarius Mountain to keep her company with the bandits."
Zhang Heng was sitting on a chair, and behind him stood the two brothers Kui and Daughter, who were carrying guns. He said sternly: "Do you hear me clearly?"
"Listen clearly."
Everyone bowed their heads.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng regained his smile and looked at the four teenage girls standing at the front: "How old are you, what are your names, and where are you from?"
"My name is Cuihua. I am 16 years old. I come from Nanhe. My hometown was hit by a disaster, so I came to Dongguang with my family. I heard that there is food here, but I got separated from my family. Granny Ya said that I should follow her.
, she would give me food to eat, and I would agree."
Cuihua speaks straightforwardly, and is the same little girl whose eyes wandered around after being sold to Zhang Heng.
"what about you?"
Zhang Heng looked at the others again.
"My name is Song Qiunan. I am 15 years old. I come from Yangxi County next door. My father was sick and I sold myself because I wanted to treat him."
The second said so.
Zhang Heng looked at the third one again.
"My name is Xiliu. I am from this county. I am probably 15 or 16 years old. My family was poor and could not afford to eat or support me, so they gave me to Granny Ya."
Song Qiunan and Xiliu.
They were two people who said nothing at that time and accepted their fate obediently.
"And you?"
Zhang Heng looked at the last person.
"My name is An Yuyu, I'm fifteen years old and I'm from this county."
An Yuyu stopped talking here.
Zhang Heng didn't ask any more questions. He heard Grandma Ya say that An Yuyu was eaten by her gambling father in exchange for rice.
But that's fine. If you lose to the casino and sell it to a cave, you won't even cry at all.
