Pastoral lucky girl's counterattack

Chapter 814 Labor
Village head Zhang stuttered when asked, "No, no, there is nothing wrong. I, I thought that the construction of canals and stone bridges you mentioned just now were done in the form of labor labor. I didn't expect that there would be others You can get paid."

"Isn't it normal to get paid for working? Didn't you get paid after working before?"

The village head thought for a while and replied. "Lord Qiu just came to us, so he probably didn't know that every year we send people out to do labor. The labor is very hard and tiring. Every time those who go out to work come back, they are skinny. It's all because of the labor. The portion is large, and there is still not enough to eat, let alone wages.”

"When are you talking about? What are you going to do for labor?" Qiu Laifu's expression immediately became stern.

Seeing Qiu Laifu's expression changed drastically, Village Chief Zhang wondered if he had said something wrong.He thought about it again in his heart, what he said just now, he felt that what he said was the truth, there was nothing wrong with it.So he boldly replied, "Build rivers, roads, and houses. Anyway, I just do some coolies. Every year, more than a dozen people are drawn to go."

"How many people are there in your village?"

"More than 600 people."

"How many people are drawn each time?"

"Usually twelve or three. One year, the maximum number of people who were taken away was 18, but only 13 came back that year. It is said that they were washed away by the river when the river was built. When those people came back, they brought A subsidy of 5 taels per person was returned."

"One labor only makes up five taels? Is that enough?" Qiu Laifu's voice became even colder.

Village head Zhang couldn't stand the cold Qiu Laifu.The top of his head was already sweating, it wasn't from the tiredness of climbing the mountain just now, it was pure cold sweat from fear at the moment.

"This, this, what else can we do if we don't do this?"

The words of the village chief woke up Qiu Laifu.How do the common people in these villages know?What will happen to the subsidy after death in servitude?It's not about how much the people above give, they just keep it, maybe they don't even dare to show a breath.

Qiu Laifu nodded helplessly, "Yes. That's right, if you don't count, what else can you do?" Are you afraid of death and looking for trouble?

The village chief thought the answer seemed strange, but he didn't know what was wrong.I only felt that Qiu Laifu's aura gradually calmed down, and he was no longer on the verge of violence as before.

Qiu Laifu felt depressed in various ways.I secretly recorded this matter on the head of the person in charge of the labor.As for who is in charge of the labor, this has to be inquired by the county.

"During the slack season, does anyone in the village go out to do casual work?"

The village head was a little unresponsive to this sudden question that was irrelevant to horses and horses.After a while, he said, "Yes, yes, most of the middle-aged men in the village go to the town or even the county to do part-time jobs during the slack season.

It's just that at that time, because there were too many idlers, it was not easy to find a job as a casual worker. Even if I found a job, the wages were very low.Every time I go home until the next busy farming season, I don’t have much income. "

After hearing this, Qiu Laifu secretly hated those profiteers who hired people.Thinking of the status of a businessman is only a low-level one.But they hold too much of the economy.So the businessman may not be fair in his heart.

After all, the income of some businessmen is much higher than that of officials and eunuchs, but they are the bottom line.The social status is the lowest.So they actually want to find a sense of balance in front of these farmers who are working part-time. After all, farmers are still in the front row.Being able to show off their prestige in front of farmers seems to be a kind of pastime for businessmen.

Do you want to formulate a migrant worker protection law here?There was a voice in Qiu Laifu's heart rambling.

"Then how much is it for a day job?"

"It's when the farming is slack. The wages are generally 10 to 15 yuan. During the busy farming season, the wages are more, usually 15 to 20 yuan." The village chief said in a flat and authentic tone.

"What about the craftsman's wages?" Qiu Laifu's voice also calmed down.

"The wages of craftsmen generally range from [-] to [-] yuan. I heard that some craftsmen's wages are even higher."

"The craftsman who builds the stone canal is set at fifty cents a day. The day laborer is twenty cents a day. You can release this information, but you have to keep it in check, and drive away those who cheat. I am willing to pay wages, but I don’t want to raise lazy people.” Qiu Laifu said seriously.

After hearing this, Village Chief Zhang didn't realize it for a while, such a high salary!He really didn't expect it.Originally, I thought that these were all done through labor, but I didn't expect that there would be wages.Not to mention that the wages were still so high, he was so happy that he couldn't find his tongue for a while.

"This, this, such a high salary. Really?"

Village head Zhang couldn't believe the information he heard.

"It's true. I said there are so many, so it must be so many. I can still decide on this matter." After Qiu Laifu answered affirmatively, he continued to move forward.

Back in the village, the village chief went to arrange things, while Qiu Laifu returned to the upper room of the village chief's house.Seeing the three little ones lying on the table, trying to draw while thinking.Xia Houyu next to him was biting the penholder.A look of helplessness.

Qiu Laifu turned around and walked out of the yard to the field.At this time, many people come and go geographically.Because this land is relatively dry all year round, everyone is very happy when there is a little water.

Now seeing that the ditches in the field flowed into clear spring water, everyone unanimously took out the clothes to be washed at home, and came to the ditch to wash clothes, or wash vegetables, or wash their hair, everywhere.

The naughty children in the village jumped directly into the ditch to play and play in the water, causing the parents at home to shout and scold.

Qiu Laifu quickly walked around the area.I personally confirmed that the water was indeed irrigated to each piece of land.

Qiu Laifu was relieved, and then went back to the village chief's house.Seeing that it was still early, I went to the sun-drying field again.More than 30 people have lived in the tents on the field.

As soon as those people found Qiu Laifu coming, they immediately lined up to welcome him.

Qiu Laifu waved his hand.Looking at the captain, he asked, "What's going on? Why have there been more people?"

The first to come to him was a manager, and then said. "This is all the members of the guard."

"Why were you the only ones before? Why did they come late again later?"

"Actually, we came to the town together, but we went to find you separately, and I was lucky to find you first." The captain's face was full of joy.

"The place where you live is settled, so how do you deal with your food?" Qiu Laifu looked around, but he didn't find any pots and stoves.

"We bought it in the village. People in the village can cook well."

Qiu Laifu nodded. "Actually, it's better not to bother the people in the village too much. You should do your own work. You can buy some food and cook for yourself. If you hire someone to cook, remember to pay the wages."
