When Butcher Xu arrived at the construction site, his genius shone brightly. He summoned all the managers and announced loudly: "All men, women and children who did not receive full wages yesterday and today will be dismissed!"

Liu Yamen was startled at first, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, is this an order from Marquis Pingle?"

Butcher Xu was not just saying nothing. He took out the document written by Huo Yunchao from his pocket: "Yes, Pinglehou has calculated an account and removed those who cannot get full wages. It will not affect the project." If we make progress, we can save two more days of rations. I am illiterate, but you can come here and take a look at the accounts calculated by Pinglehou."

The centurion approached Xu Lizheng of Pingle Village and listened to Xu Lizheng reading the documents written by Huo Yunchao in a cadence, including the data he calculated.

The Centurion was illiterate and couldn't calculate complicated numbers, but he knew how to manage people. He only needed to confirm whether the result calculated by Pingle Hou was correct.

As long as the data given by Pinglehou is correct, then the centurion is 100% supportive of removing those who cannot get full wages.

With such favorable conditions for building river embankments, the construction site is not worried about a shortage of people to work.

If the people in this county can't do it, then they can find people from neighboring counties to come over! With five cents a day and a lunch included, many people from neighboring counties came with their families.

The villages wanted to argue with each other, but Pinglehou said in the document that felling trees and pulling branches was the easiest job. Even yesterday and today's work could not get full wages, which showed that he had no strength, so he simply Clearing it out will save both food rations and wages.

Even if the money and grain were obtained from the criminal landlords and old wealthy families, it would not be a mountain of gold and grain that would grow on its own. There would always be a day when it was eaten and spent.

Huo Yunchao emphasized in the document that this batch of money and food was specially allocated for building river embankments. Anyone who did not receive full wages showed that he was not qualified and did not deserve the job.

When it comes to this, no one can refute it.

There are countless poor people in the world. In front of Huo Yunchao, moral kidnapping will not work.

If you can't do it, you will be kicked out.

If others can do it, others can seize this opportunity to earn enough food and clothing.

Everything depends on strength.

When Lu Changle and his team arrived at the construction site, they found that the bustling construction site yesterday was deathly silent, especially those who had not received their full wages yesterday, and their faces were as pale as if they were mourning for their heirs.

When Liu Yamen, who was responsible for looking after them, announced in public that those who could not get full wages would be dismissed, Lu Changle realized why those people were like that. She turned her head and said to Ms. Lu: "Auntie, I'm going home after work." When the time comes, I will make it clear to dad."

She won't give her father another chance to bully her mother-in-law! no way!

Mr. Lu sighed softly: "Changle, you shouldn't interfere."

Lu Changle pursed her lips, and after Liu Yamen finished announcing the important matters, she walked straight towards the mountainside.

With the danger of quitting without getting full wages, the construction site seemed extremely busy today, and no one had the time to cause trouble anymore.

The centurion took the time to come over and offer cigarettes to Mr. Xu: "Mr. Xu, would you like to take a sip?"

Butcher Xu waved his hand and refused: "No, my Fu Bao has a good nose. If you smoke, stay away from me."

Since he had a baby granddaughter, he has never smoked again. The little guy is young, has a sharp nose, and is very strong. He doesn't want to get slapped by his granddaughter.

The centurion scratched his head and said, "Mr. Xu, what did Marquis Pingle say about the suggestion I made yesterday?"

Butcher Xu did not follow him in circles and said directly: "My Chao'er said that your proposal will be feasible in half a month. It cannot be done now."

The centurion didn't understand and asked: "Mr. Xu, did Marquis Pingle say why it takes half a month?"

Butcher Xu shook his head: "He didn't tell me."

"Okay then." The centurion obviously had something else to say, but he kept mumbling for a long time without speaking.

Butcher Xu was a calm man, and he did not take the initiative to ask questions.

You have to have a begging attitude when asking for help. He is not a holy father who can help with everything.

Until the completion wages were distributed and the 105 workers who failed to meet the wage requirements were announced to be dismissed, the centurion did not offer his excuse to Butcher Xu.

Butcher Xu didn't care either. He noticed that Uncle Lu Er and Uncle Lu made five cents each. Some people who had been evicted were not convinced and said that they could also receive five cents each.

Butcher Xu asked calmly: "Does today's big steamed bun taste good?"

"It's delicious..." the man blurted out, but when he realized that he had let slip something, he wanted to change his words temporarily.

Butcher Xu didn't give the man a chance to refute, and said in a low and slow tone: "I told you before starting work this morning that you will quit if you don't get full wages. The steamed buns made by these two brothers are delicious and delicious. You can save food and only get a salary. As for you, you, a big man, only get a salary of three cents."

The man suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

Xu Tutu glanced around at those who refused to be expelled: "If you don't meet the requirements, you will be expelled. Here are the rules."

"Who else is dissatisfied? Stand up!"

The centurion held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and spoke arrogantly.

None of the one hundred and five people who were cleared said a word and left in dejection.

Second Uncle Lu waited until Butcher Xu was free before letting Lu Changping push him over and say thank you: "Thank you, Mr. Xu!"

Butcher Xu did not give Uncle Lu and others the illusion of favoritism, and said businesslikely: "You two brothers don't need to thank me. You are craftsmen who cook, and your workload has reached the standard, unlike them. You two brothers need to do a good job. If the food is not cooked well, it will be sent home to eat on your own."

Uncle Lu's cooking skills are really good, and he has the consciousness to bring a brother to help him. He is a man who can handle things clearly. Others have nothing to criticize their brothers.

What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Butcher Xu has never favored the Lu family from beginning to end. He not only gave Uncle Lu and his brother the opportunity to cook, but also gave opportunities to people with good cooking skills from other villages. If they do well, they will be hired. , if you don’t do well, you’ll be kicked out.

Uncle Lu motioned to his son to take out two cents: "Mr. Xu, this is the car rental money for yesterday and today."

Butcher Xu looked at Uncle Lu and then at Lu Changping. He accepted the two coins, pointed at the wheelbarrow and said, "I'll charge you two cents to rent this wheelbarrow to you for a month. When the time is up, you need to clean the wheelbarrow." return."

"Thank you, Mrs. Xu!"

Uncle Lu and Lu Changping did not expect such a good thing to happen. They were very excited and thanked them repeatedly.

After getting on the carriage, Mr. Xu took out two coins and played with them. When he got home, he showed them to Little Fubao: "Little Fubao, this man has to stand up on his own before he can get help from others."

Little Fubao couldn't understand what her grandpa was saying at all. She glanced at the two gray copper plates and was not interested at all. She only liked shiny things, such as her grandma's silver hairpin and gold bracelet.
