Chapter 113 Transformation of Seven Counties ([-])
In the afternoon, before it got dark, dozens of people were greeted by the staff to finish work today and ask them to gather.

"It's not dark yet, why did they let us stop working?"

"It's not good not to work, do you want to do more?"

"No. I just remembered that the last time I repaired the house for Mr. Huang's family, Mr. Huang insisted that we work from Yinshi to Zishi to count as a day. Mr. Huang also said that he lost money. We didn't work for a day at all, but we got a day's wages .”

"I've also encountered this kind of thing. I plowed the fields for Mr. Zhou's family in the north of the city. I worked from morning to night, and when I calculated my wages, Mr. Zhou insisted that I only worked for half a day, not a day, so I only paid for it. half of the wages. Wouldn’t it be the same for them? They want to pay us less wages!”

"If that's the case, then I won't come tomorrow!"

"I'm not coming either!"

"Are you really not coming? But the food is really delicious."

"This……"

Thinking of the delicious meal at noon, some Chumin who vowed to pay less wages and not come tomorrow hesitated.

"It depends on how much you pay, as long as you don't underpay too much."

"Me too!"

"..."

Listening to these dozens of people talking, the staff shook their heads. He led the dozens of people to put the work tools they had received back to their original places, and after counting them clearly, he called them to wash their hands and faces.

These Chu people complained that it was really troublesome when they washed their hands. It was fine to wash their hands before eating, but now they don’t eat, so why wash their hands?Men don't wash their hands even before eating at home.Why do these Daxia people have so many rules?
Complaints belong to complaints, but I still washed my hands and face according to the requirements of the staff.

Watching them finish washing, the staff said: "Now, I'm going to take everyone to get the wages. Before getting the wages, I will explain something to you. When you get the wages, everyone should press your thumbs, just like you came this morning. It is the same as before. There are two types of wages, one is to receive cash, and the other is to convert wages into points.”

"Receiving cash means, for example, you Huang Zhuang..."

"what?"

The first man from Chu who signed up to work yesterday was Huang Zhuang. When the staff called his name, he scratched his head and answered in confusion.

"Huang Zhuang, your work today is quarrying. Your salary today is XX Chuqian. If you want to receive cash when you receive your wages, we will directly give you XX Chuqian and let you take it home. If you don't receive cash , we can also save it for you, or convert it into XX points."

"What are those points?"

"Why did XX Chu money turn into those points, only XX points, isn't that less? I don't want to turn the money into those points, I'd better receive the money honestly."

"Yes, I want money too."

Most of the people in Chu feel that it is still safe to get wages and cash, but there are also a small number of people who are interested in the points, because they have heard about the "points" several times today.

One person asked: "My lord, what are these points? What can they be used for?"

The staff explained: "Points... are the money we use. As for its uses, there are many. For example, when you eat in the cafeteria, you can spend points to let the chef prepare some special meals for you. If you have points, you can Buy many things from us, like rice, salt, sugar shoes, clothes, bedding... including the seasonings you mentioned when you eat at noon."

When everyone heard it, this point has so many uses.

Another person asked: "My lord, since Chu money can be converted into points, can we use Chu money to directly buy the things your lord said?"

The staff smiled and said, "Yes, but compared with points, unless you use the coins we issue, otherwise you will spend more expensive to buy these things with Chu money."

"Is that so..."

Everyone understood the meaning of the staff's words, it was cheaper to use points to buy things in the valley camp than to use Chu money.

This is actually the valley camp deliberately luring Chu people to use points, the actual purpose is to promote the currency policy of the valley camp.

Although after listening to the staff's narration, they know that the points are of many uses, but there are only a few Chu people who dare to take the risk of turning wages into points.

After everyone pressed their thumb on the fingerprint reader, they all received their wages.

Seeing that the salary was the same as what they said when they recruited them, all the Chu people became excited. After leaving the work site, they were still talking: "What they said is true, they really gave me so much money."

"It's really a day's wages. We didn't give us half a day."

"Speaking of which, we really didn't ask for money for the lunch."

"Huh? Old Huang, what are you holding in your hand? Where did it come from?" Someone saw Huang Zhuang holding a large piece of meat in his left hand and a bag in his right hand, and they couldn't help asking.

Huang Zhuang saw that someone found what he was carrying, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, this is the meat and rice I bought from adults with points. Parents haven't had meat for a long time. I eat meat at noon. If you are full, you have to bring something back to feed your parents and brothers."

"Old Huang, did you exchange all your wages for those points?"

"No, I only exchanged a little with my wages."

"Can I change it?"

"of course can!"

"Then I'll change it too."

As they said that, a few people ran out from the Chu people, ran back to the place where they had just received their wages, asked to exchange some points, and bought some things by the way, but most of them still did not move.

"Mom, I'm back!"

As soon as Qu Yang arrived in front of the house, he saw his mother struggling to draw water by the well in the courtyard, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother, why are you doing these things again? You are not in good health. Didn't I tell you that I will do it?" ?"

After complaining, Qu Yang hurried into the courtyard, took the rope from his mother, and pulled up the barrel in the well.

His mother is an old, stooped woman. From her appearance, she seems to be 50 or 30 years old. In fact, she is only in her [-]s, but her husband died early, and she has no relatives from her mother-in-law's family. She didn't want to marry another child, and raised Qu Yang alone. The pressure of life made her look older than her actual age.

She stood aside, watching her son skillfully lift the bucket from the well, and asked, "Ah Yang, how is your work today? Have you ever been hungry? Have you eaten the dry food that your mother prepared for you this morning? When you were working, those people Didn't embarrass you? I heard rumors outside that those Daxia people are not easy to get along with..."

Qu Yang smiled and said, "Mother, it's pretty good. We didn't eat the dry food, but the baby wasn't hungry. The adults were very kind to us and didn't make things difficult for us. They even gave us a full meal at noon. Mother, look... "

Qu Yang put down the bucket and took out two packages from his arms, one was his wages for today, and the other was the braised pork he brought back.

"This is the wages that the adults gave the child today. The adults didn't lie to us, and gave us the full amount."

Qu Yang handed the bag containing the money to his mother. His mother took it and opened it. It was a bag full of Chu coins. His mother counted all the coins first, and then carefully counted them. Checking coins one by one...

Qu Yang looked at his mother's actions, and knew that she was worried about whether the salary was really enough, and whether there was something wrong with the money, which was exactly the same as his behavior after receiving the salary at that time, it should be said that it was just after receiving the salary. All Chu people are the same.

Qu Yang said: "Mother, it's all true, and the amount is right, the adults didn't lie to the children."
