Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 161 Work Point System

Winter in the north seems to come in a blink of an eye. As soon as November arrives, the whistling north wind blows, making people tremble with cold.

Lu Meng and others who didn't want to knead wool at first didn't need Xu Erniang to shout after experiencing the severe cold of this winter. After finishing training every day, as long as they had nothing else to do, they immediately went to the main house to help spin wool.

For no other reason than wanting a pullover cashmere sweater against the relentless cold wind.

Most of Wang Dayou's factory has been built, glass and other things have been put into production again, and before the snow falls, another sum of money has been brought back.

With the money, Wang got back a large amount of iron ore and asked Wang Da to start production.

A Niang was concentrating on building an arsenal, and the three Xu Yue brothers and sisters were not idle.

They are so short of people, they are short of available people.

Most of the refugees have numb faces, like the frogs on the rocks, they only move when you poke them. This kind of hands is far from what Xu Yue wants.

But now with this level of conditions, she has no choice but to cultivate by herself.

Xu Yue is going to hold a literacy class.

When Mrs. Wang heard it, it was very good, good girl, by the way, help A Niang and the group of people under her command also to get rid of illiteracy.

Xu Yue: "."

But still the same sentence, she has no choice!
More than 200 people in the village, including men and women, old and young, all gathered in the open space in front of the dormitory area.

Xu Yue asked Ah San to set up two big fires, and these refugees who were not dressed properly did not freeze and faint.

Looking at their shivering faces, Xu Yue seemed to be able to feel the coldness on their bodies.

Clothes, this is the first problem to be solved!
Otherwise, when it snows, people will definitely die.

The wool in the warehouse has piled up like a mountain, and it is actually more than enough to deal with the three hundred people in the entire village.

But something like a woolen sweater cannot be given for nothing.

As soon as the previous owner collected the grain, he left without leaving anything behind.

In order to prevent these people from starving to death, A Niang engaged in construction, asked these people to build roads and dig canals, and exchange their labor for food. This has maintained that no one has been starved to death.

It's just that now that the road has been repaired, there is no way for them to earn food, and they don't think about doing anything proactively.

There are still nine months between now and next year's autumn harvest. Xu Yue can keep them from starving to death, but they still have to rely on themselves if they want to have enough food.

Lu Meng, the only literate member of the trilogy team, took out a wooden board filled with content written in charcoal, hung it on the support frame, and became a blackboard, standing in front of the big guys.

Lu Meng took out another stick and slapped the "blackboard" twice, successfully attracting the villagers' attention.

Seeing everyone looking over in a daze, Lu Meng said, "The master is kind-hearted. He didn't want everyone to be frozen to death and starved to death. He specially brought out food and cashmere sweaters to let everyone have a good winter."

"But our master's money doesn't come from the wind. If you want to eat and wear clothes, you have to do what the master says!"

After the conversation started, seeing the big guys looking over in surprise, Lu Meng lifted up the wide linen sleeves quite proudly, revealing the cashmere sweater that fitted his figure inside.

"See, this is called a cashmere sweater. It's made of wool. It's warm and comfortable. It's much warmer than linen and silk. Just wearing this one makes you feel warm all over."

Everyone suddenly showed surprise and envy. Some children were curious and wanted to touch it. Lu Meng took the initiative to step forward and let them feel it.

"Such delicate clothes are really for us to wear?" the big guy exclaimed.

The previously lifeless open space finally became lively.

Lu Meng proudly showed off the cashmere sweater he was wearing, and then said: "My clothes are not easy to handle. I spent a whole month rubbing the wool with the second lady, and went to the factory to beat iron for three days, so I exchanged it for work points." Arrived."

"Oh, there's also a pair of cashmere gloves and a pair of cashmere socks. I won't show you that. In short, with such a set, you'll have a good winter."

Someone immediately asked: "What is a work point?"

Finally got to the point!Lu Meng thought.

He knocked on the blackboard again and explained: "Work points are the jobs you do, from one to ten, and the work points for each job are different."

"For example, if you go to work with master Wang Dayou, you will get 9 work points a day for blacksmithing, 6 work points for other small workers, 8 work points for burning charcoal with the young master, and 6 work points for spinning thread with the second lady."

"The woolen sweater on my body is exchanged with work points. 200 work points can be exchanged for the whole set, including clothes, pants, and gloves."

"There are still many jobs that can earn work points, and they are clearly written on the board. You can take a look at what jobs you want to do."

When it came to the board, the villagers all showed embarrassment.

"We can't read, please trouble Lu Qushou to read it to you guys."

Lu Meng waved his hand, "This job has to change from time to time. I can't read to you every day. If I can read today, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? I don't necessarily have to be on Zhuangzi."

After speaking, seeing that everyone was anxious, he told about Xu Yue's literacy class and school.

The literacy class is for adults. Classes start after dinner every evening. Each class lasts an hour, teaching Chinese and mathematics. A full class counts as two work points.

The school is open to children under the age of 15 and over five years old. As long as there are children in the family who meet the age, they must be sent to the school.

Lunch and evening meals are included in the school, and if anyone does not come, their work points will be deducted. When the work points are deducted to zero, the owner will sell them to the mine.

The same is true for literacy classes. Before graduation, everyone has to come, and if you are sick, you have to ask for leave first, otherwise the wages will be deducted and sold.

Hearing the punishment of being sold, the villagers immediately looked serious.

They don't understand why the master wants them to learn how to read and count, but it's not bad if they can have food if they are obedient.

They knew that the owner of the village had changed, and the male owner hadn't had a chance to meet him yet, but the female owner had already met her.

This lady seemed to be a cold-faced and cruel person, but she didn't sell them out as soon as she came.

Not only did they not have any, but they also took out food and asked them to build roads and houses. Although they didn't have enough to eat, they worked hard and didn't starve to death. Even those with children at home could persevere.

After spending so much time together, they finally understood.

Living with the Xu family may not necessarily lead to a better life, but it certainly will not be worse than other landlords.

Seeing that everything that can be said has been said, Lu Meng looked at Xu Yue who was standing under the eaves, wearing a down scarf and cashmere gloves.

Xu Yue nodded to his brothers and sisters beside him, as well as Junmei Wang Youliang, and the four of them took out a charcoal pencil and a thick yellow book, and went to the table that had already been set up.

Xu Dalang shouted in a deep voice: "I need 30 people to burn charcoal on the mountain here, men and women are not limited, and those with strong strength are required. Anyone who wants to do this job can come to me to register."

Xu Erniang followed closely behind: "I need 40 people to twist wool and knit sweaters here. Women are preferred, and dexterity is preferred."
