Chapter 162: Tell the ugly things first
After saying that, Ye Jiamei entered her cave and closed the wooden door behind her back.`
Yu Luo and his daughter were directly pushed out of the cave by Ye Jiamei. The father and daughter looked back at the closed door, looked at each other silently, and smiled.
"The cave is not big enough to accommodate so many of us. Let's talk outside."
When his wife lost her temper, even though it was not directed at him, Yu Junjie still felt guilty and quickly agreed again with a guilty conscience.
Everyone didn't care about Ye Jiamei's attitude. Anyway, it was only natural to give money for medical treatment. Besides, Ye Jiamei had helped them too much before. If they still want to continue morally kidnapping others at this time, it was purely their own problem.
After all, most people are normal and will not be like Liu Lan. However, they came here early this morning. What they care about is going to work and making money early. They don't care about such small things at all.
Everyone supported the father and daughter to the open space outside the cave. The vegetables planted by Yu Luo's family had not yet sprouted. In a place that was originally full of stones, only the renovated soft yellow earth remained.
This land is not fertile to begin with, and it is even more impossible to have a harvest this year.
Everyone also tried their best to avoid the fields covered with seeds, and looked at the father and daughter expectantly.
"We discussed that the pond does not have to be three acres in size, but at least one per acre. Thirty-five taels of silver will be dug for each acre. The time limit is at least one month to complete. The standard of the pond must be six feet deep.
Just as long as it doesn’t leak.”
"Why did it become one acre again? Wasn't it three acres as agreed? There are so many of us, and we only have thirty-five taels to dig out one acre. When we get the share, we don't have much money."
Talking about the matter, Liu Mingxia immediately asked, puzzled.
After all, there is a big difference between thirty-five taels and one hundred taels.
"Brother Liu, please be patient. Yesterday I was talking about a pond with three acres of land. Today I'm talking about a pond of one acre. If you want to make more money, dig two more. In fact, think about it, guys.
When the time comes, you will have to help me open up wasteland and plant the land, which will inevitably have to be irrigated. A hundred acres of land is still very spacious. If you want to water it at that time, you will only need a pond. Wouldn’t it be a long way to go? Plan the place where you want to open up wasteland.
Digging more ponds will make it easier for everyone to water them. Now I give you thirty-five taels of silver for a pond with one acre of land. Compared with one hundred taels for a pond with three acres of land, in fact, one acre of land is worth 100 taels of silver.
More."
"Yes, yes, Brother Liu, you are still impatient. Second Master Yu did not treat everyone badly, but gave us more. We can just dig. One acre is only thirty-five taels. According to the speed of so many people
, then we might be able to dig four one-acre ponds a month."
Bai You fell to the ground and read more. When Yu Haojie explained it like that, he immediately reacted.
Everyone also thought about it carefully and felt that this was the case.
"That's probably the situation, but we can't stop the land reclamation. This is our plan. The land reclamation and pond digging will be carried out at the same time. Otherwise, after the planting season, the wasteland will be cleared out and it will be useless. I will not use the reclaimed land.
I'm sorry to everyone, it's still ten taels of silver per acre.
Each of your families has women and children. I will be responsible for giving this money to the heads of your families. How to divide the money between men, women, and children is your business. If there is no objection, we will sign an agreement today. I have prepared the documents.
.”
After saying that, Yu Haojie took out the note he had written out last night.
One is about digging a pond, and the other is about reclaiming wasteland.
When Bai You took it and looked at the contents on the note, he became more and more confused.
"Second Young Master Yu, why doesn't the document on the land reclamation say anything about sowing and harvesting?"
"It's true that I didn't write it down. I plan to hire you on a long-term basis to help me plant and water the land after the wasteland is cleared. The money will be calculated separately every month.
The reason why I don’t let you do it together now is that on the one hand, I want to provide your family with several opportunities to work every month in the future, so that you can earn money for a long time and will not worry about running out of money and being unable to live.
.
On the other hand...
Having said this, Yu Junjie glanced at everyone deliberately and meaningfully, and his expression became somewhat positive.
"What's the other side? Mr. Yu, you can just say it."
Bai You couldn't wait to say. In fact, when he heard the first point, his eyes and everyone's eyes were already filled with gratitude. When Yu Junjie heard this, he nodded and straightened his expression.
"Then I will say something ugly first. On the other hand, I also want to see everyone's enthusiasm for work. If there are lazy people in the work of land reclamation and pond digging, I will definitely not use it in the future.
Do you understand?"
After Yu Haojie finished speaking, everyone nodded desperately and promised again and again that they would work hard!
Such good things can happen to them when they are most helpless. Yu Haojie and his family are simply their saviors. They are too late to be grateful, so how can they have any complaints?
Especially Yu Shanhai, after being happy, his face became even hotter when he thought about his wife's petty look.
"Young Master Yu, Xiaoluo, you are really good people! Don't worry, don't worry, we will seize the time to help you get rid of this pond and wasteland!"
At this time, Liu Mingxia and everyone felt truly grateful to Yu Junjie and his family.
This obvious behavior of chasing and stuffing food into their mouths, if they can meet one in this life, it is already a blessing from God!
"Well, we have selected a location to open up wasteland. It is better to choose a day. Let's start work today. Get it out early. You can collect money early. With money, you can buy what you want. Recently, my brother-in-law was there.
, and some supplies were delivered, including pots and pans. If you want to improve your life in the future, you can just rely on your own hard-working hands."
After everyone heard this, clan members from several families urged the head of their family to quickly sign and sign, go back, pick up tools, and go to work at the place planned by Yu Luo and his daughter.
Yu Junjie led a group of people to the west side of Stone Mountain. He pointed out the general direction to everyone, and the several families gathered together and started working according to the division of labor.
Those who pick up stones pick up stones, loosen the soil, and plan the location and size of the pond. Above the desolation of the wild land, there is more and more strong flavor of life. It is not just life, it is also these exiled people.
hope.
When Yu Luo returned to the house, he planned to take Xiao Yi to open an underground river passage.
