At You hour, Majiazhuang was filled with joy.
"Well-drilling team 1 drilled 5 wells, well-drilling team 2 drilled 5 wells... Well-drilling team 18 drilled 3 wells."
"A total of 85 wells were drilled, and the income was 170 pounds!"
When Uncle Fu read out today's well drilling situation, the entire crowd shouted crazily.
As the well-drilling team became more and more skilled, and they worked hard today, each well-drilling team drilled one more well than yesterday.
Wang Jian and his well-drilling team 1 might have been able to dig one more well if it hadn't been for Xu Hu's failure in the competition.
"Master, you are tired."
A petite woman looked at the exhausted husband beside her, her eating hands were shaking due to lack of strength, and her eyes were full of heartache.
Wang Tianer's body was covered with mud, and his body was covered with dried sweat and stunk. He stretched out his white washed hands to wipe away the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes.
A happy smile appeared on his tanned face, "Why are you crying? I made a full 50 yuan today. You should make some decent clothes tomorrow. This linen clothes has turned white after washing. . ”
Today’s well-drilling teams really worked hard, leaving early and returning late without resting.
But all this hard work is for the sake of living a better life, so that the children will no longer be homeless in the future.
Although they have not been in Majiazhuang for a short time, they have decided to take root deeply in this paradise.
The next step is the most exciting moment of giving out money.
For ordinary well digging team members, the most they can get is 50 Wen, and the least they can get is 30 Wen.
A total of 6,000 coins were distributed tonight, with 164 coins left!
The empty dining table was filled with white silver and large bunches of copper coins, which was very popular.
"Finance Han, has the total amount of money been recorded?" Wang Jian looked back at the bamboo tube in Han Xuelian's hand.
It is also convenient for Han Xuelian to establish her authority in front of the villagers by holding official positions in public.
Han Xuelian put the bamboo tube in front of him and said confidently, "Remember it, you can take a look."
Wang Jian saw the familiar numbers and nodded, "The record is correct. Count, Yao Dan packed up our money and took it home."
After distributing the money, everyone went home happily.
Wait until the crowd disperses.
Wang Jian took out 80 pieces and gave them to Lao Tietou, asking him to make 15 sets of well-drilling tools, as well as a batch of farm tools and cooking pots.
This is a big project. Wang Jian asked Uncle Fu to lead a few people to fully cooperate with Lao Tietou.
"Village chief, take this money and help me redeem 15 acres of land. It will be used as collective land in Majiazhuang from now on."
"Okay."
Mr. Ma’s old face laughed..
This bastard is getting more and more sensible!
Put the remaining dozens of coins in the money bank.
"Several supervisors came to my house." After Wang Jian finished speaking, he left first.
He wanted to tell everyone about digging wells with the people who built the village.
Otherwise, it would be bad if everyone misunderstood.
Xue Rengui’s house is built in the village.
Xue Rengui and his mother were sitting in the front seats, with Xue Ah San and 13 powerful young people sitting on both sides.
"Master, has something big happened to call everyone here so late?" Xue Ah San's thin black face was filled with concern.
Xue Rengui tapped the thick wooden table gently with his fingers and scanned the crowd with a bit of joy on his face.
"My second brother plans to take us into the well digging business!"
"What!"
Everyone was surprised except Xue Rengui's mother The ground screamed out.
Well-drilling is a lucrative business, and now that the drought is deeply affecting it, there is no need to worry about having no work to do.
The construction of 21 wells in the village has already emptied the family's financial resources. I was worried about how to spend the second half of the year, but unexpectedly the nobleman showed up.
"Don't get excited, my second brother said two conditions." Xue Rengui interrupted the excited people.
"What are the two conditions, young master? We can agree to it if it is not harsh."
The muscles on Xue Ah San's face trembled with excitement.
Xue Rengui then stated the two conditions mentioned by Wang Jian word for word.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
After hearing these two conditions, everyone’s expressions were extremely exciting, some were confused, some were surprised, and some were excited.
Xue Ah San stood up suddenly, his teeth chattering as he spoke, "Master, these two conditions are of great benefit to us without any harm! Your second brother is going to help our Xue family Rise up! ”
Each person earns 40 coins a day, which is 1,200 coins a month!
You can only earn less than 2,000 yuan a year doing farm work.
Another strong man who had lived in Xiucun for a long time stood up and told everyone something important.
"I heard that the Black Mountain bandits in Wanquan County have appeared again. Will there be any accidents if we dig wells there?"
A man who had just returned from Chang'an with Xue Rengui, He folded his hands in front of his chest, with some disdain on his face, "Who cares about the Black Mountain bandits, they will be unlucky if they meet our young master!"
Several men were divided into two groups, and you and I started to argue.
"Quiet! How unbecoming is it to make a noise!" Xue Ah San roared, his beard almost rising to his face.
After several men calmed down, Xue Rengui looked a little serious and arranged things.
"Our village repair skills are still good.There are 92 men, and a team of 7 can form 13 well-drilling teams. You are all captains. ”
“When we were digging wells, we all gathered in several neighboring villages, and those who were there were brought over with linen to cover them. "
"Starting tomorrow, in addition to going to the fields to collect water for irrigation in the morning and evening, I will learn to dig wells with the Majiazhuang well drilling team at other times. ”
“Yes. "
Thirteen strong men stood up, their faces a bit solemn.
"You go back and form your own well-drilling team first, and just report to me tomorrow. Ah San, stay here. "Xue Rengui waved his hand, and then asked Xue Ah San to stay.
"Master, let's go down first. "
The 13 men quickly left the room.
Xue Ah San thought that the young master was trying to trouble him about the sacrifice, and his buttocks twisted around as if they had been pricked by a needle. .
As Xue Rengui walked towards him step by step, Xue Ah San’s heart became heavier, and a feeling of guilt rose from the bottom of his heart.
“Ah San, how many more do we have in total? Follower? You go and call them all back, and we will take them to dig the well together. "
"Huh..." Xue Ah San breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was worrying too much.
Due to his early death, the Xue family fell into decline.
Going back six generations, Xue Rengui's ancestors held considerable official positions and had many followers over the years.
Ah San glanced at his wife who was enjoying tea alone, stood up and reported in a low voice
"There are still 445 households scattered in Yuanqu County and Xia County. Every year, my wife will ask the old man to bring some grain, oil and rice. Condolences. ”
“Are they all tenant farmers who make a living by renting land now? "Xue Rengui raised his eyebrows.
Xue Ahsan nodded, "They are all tenant farmers and their lives are very hard, but their loyalty to the Xue family is unquestionable! "
They were all soldiers of the Xue family. Later, Xue Gui died young, and the Xue family could not afford to support so many people.
And because Longmen County had less land and more people, they could only let They moved to Yuanqu County and Xia County, which are vast and sparsely populated areas.
The poor people from outside could only make a living by renting the land.
Xue Rengui felt his chest rising. The ups and downs were severe, and I glanced at my mother who had a calm face, with a bit of guilt on her face.
"Ah San, go bring them back, I want to bring them to live a good life!" "
His mother has always been in contact with him about the entourage. Xue Rengui is still young, and he is usually busy studying and practicing martial arts.
There are at least a thousand people in 445 households. Food for so many people Housing is a big problem.
Xue Ah San looked at his wife hesitantly, but the latter did not express anything, and hesitated to persuade her.
"It is our blessing that the young master is so kind. points, but thousands of peopleWe can't afford to support so many people if we come back together!
Xue Rengui raised his hand to stop him, "You have seen the well my second brother dug. It is fast, strong and profitable." ”
“It’s not difficult to feed everyone, it’s settled. ”
Xue Rengui settled the matter directly.
According to the great blueprint drawn by Wang Jian to him, in the future they will push the well-drilling work to the entire Tang Dynasty. Such a big It can't be done without manpower.
Moreover, there are many wealthy families in Hedong Road. If they are small, there is no guarantee that all the money they make will be swallowed up by them.
How strong is the family?
It is no exaggeration to say that even Li Shimin cannot control the counties of Jinyang, Zhaojun, Qinghe, Fanyang and Boling. >Although Xue Rengui believed in his strong military power, he did not have the confidence to fight against the big families like Wu Xing and Qi Wang.
