Ranch Story: Start Over

Dart shook his head, then suddenly thought of something and said to Feng Ling in a low voice:

"Feng'er, remember to apply for ranch support later, okay?"

"Ah? Master! Can I apply? I don't know. Can I really apply for it when my financial situation is so poor?"

Feng Ling thought about how he was spending money very quickly, so could he still apply for a subsidy?

Dart was not very clear either, but if the economic conditions were the same as when Feng Ling had just returned, he would indeed provide support to Feng Ling at the Mineral Town residents' meeting this week. But now, looking at Feng Ling's income, Dart was a little worried. If it really didn't work out, he would go and try to persuade his old brother.

"It's okay. You can try it when Thomas asks you later. Besides, your house hasn't been built yet, so you should be considered a poor household."

This cheap master was really guiding him to take advantage of Thomas's loopholes, but his starting point was always for Feng Ling's own good. As expected, it was easiest for one's own people to betray their brothers. Feng Ling couldn't bear it, so he turned his face away and held his forehead, thinking to himself.

"Okay, Master. I'll ask later."

Soon, after Thomas finished explaining some things, he began to ask questions:

“Everyone, as usual, we will provide policy support and loving mutual assistance to the poor households in the town. Now, if any residents have any needs or needs, please bring them to the meeting for discussion and resolution.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all fellow villagers. If everyone is well, our Mineral Town will be better. "

After ten seconds of silence, several residents dressed in simple and elegant peasant attire raised their hands:

"Mayor Thomas, I would like to ask if you can arrange a suitable job for me. We recently returned from abroad and currently do not have a suitable job."

Thomas opened his eyes wide and looked around, and found that they were some honest people who used to work outside. Thomas was also very clear about their situation. It seemed that they could not keep up with the fast-paced life outside due to their age, so they chose to come back and work quietly as a freelancer.

The area of ​​their own ranch has shrunk from the original 1 square kilometer to the current 0.25 square kilometers because it was not cultivated for many years and was reclaimed, which is similar to Feng Qingyang's situation.

The children of each family only come back to see them during the Chinese New Year and major festivals.

When Feng Ling saw the requests made by these people, he quickly raised his arm. He said that he didn't have to apply for subsidy funds, but he must strive to do the work.

Thomas saw Feng Ling looking at him eagerly, and quickly asked Feng Ling to stand up:

"Feng Ling, what can I do for you?"

“Uncle Thomas, can you let the eight of them go to my ranch and work for me?”

Hearing Feng Ling's demand, the audience in the audience talked a lot. Although the local wages were mentioned in the previous chapter, 2500 for mages and 3000 for warriors, just like the local average wages in the original world, these data are the lowest prices, which can be regarded as a bottom line.

And now, if Feng Ling really wants to hire them, the price he offers cannot be so low.

After all, one is a temporary worker, which is equivalent to a part-time job, and the other is a long-term contract worker. In addition, these eight people are ordinary people, all in their 50s. They are definitely not as capable as young workers, but they are not much different.

Feng Ling was not worried at all. Marrow cleansing and meridian cutting would at least make these people stronger physically. Moreover, they did not choose to continue to work outside after the marrow cleansing and meridian cutting, which showed that they were prepared to accept the local average salary. People with strong technical ability would naturally not have this problem, and they would have food to eat wherever they went.

And after working outside for so many years, they still have some strength.

Feng Ling originally thought that no one would compete with him for them, but unexpectedly, because of Feng Ling's initiative, people soon began to greet them. Grandpa Muchi, Li Ke, Sheriff Harris and others all extended invitations.

As the saying goes, where there is competition, there is appreciation. In the end, these ranchers offered them 50 yuan a year to assist them in their ranch work. Feng Ling's price was obviously not that high. Seeing that he had no advantage in bidding, 50 yuan a year was about 4000 yuan per quarter, or about yuan a day. This price was really too much for Feng Ling to afford.

Feng Ling withdrew from the competition in depression. He couldn't win. He really couldn't win. He spent his money too quickly. The money he had had to be spent on important things.

But what Feng Ling didn't expect was that his sad look was seen by one of the older masters, who walked around the others and walked down from the stage and came in front of Feng Ling.

Seeing the other party smiling at him, Feng Ling adjusted his mentality and responded to the other party.

"Feng Ling, thank you for the marrow cleansing and meridian cutting yesterday. I thought that after I came back this time, I would slowly enter old age like everyone else, dragging my broken body and living day by day. I didn't expect you to give me a new life."

Feng Ling felt satisfied when he heard the other party's gratitude, and waved his hand quickly:

"Master, you are too kind. We are all from the same village. It is my duty to do this."

"Feng Ling, how about you pay me 20 a year and let me help you? When you run the ranch well, you can give me a raise, how about that?"

The other party's voice was not loud, just like the voice of a normal chat, so only people who were close to Feng Ling could hear it. Seeing everyone's surprised and confused eyes, the other party did not make any further arguments.

Sure enough, when his reputation grew, people who came here because of his reputation began to appear, just like this old master. He had asked about Feng Ling's recent situation and it was obvious that he had a target for him long ago.

Feng Ling held the other person's hands with joy:

"Master, what's your last name?"

"I'm Xinglu, my name is Lu Zhiyan."

"Master Lu, thank you for joining my Morning Wind Ranch. With your assistance, the Morning Wind Ranch will definitely be better in the future."

Master Lu didn't say any more polite words, but simply explained his experience of working outside for so long so that Feng Ling could arrange a suitable job for him.

After the two chatted for more than ten minutes, Feng Ling basically determined the other party's work focus.

Master Lu, who has been working outside for many years, has been engaged in ranch construction work, that is, engineering projects. He has traveled to many places with the installation team. Because of his low education and poor cultural level in his early years, he did a lot of physical work, which led to him accumulating a lot of diseases from hard work and returning to his hometown to prepare for his old age.

Now the effect of marrow washing and meridian cutting has removed at least 80% of his injuries and pains. This is a very good result. The effect of marrow washing and meridian cutting is generally around 50% for many people. He is considered quite lucky.

This is also the reason why Lu Zhiyan chose Feng Ling directly. In his opinion, Feng Ling is different from other ranchers.

When he returned to his hometown for the first time, his situation was so bad that he did not use the magic holy water to obtain high profits. Instead, he thought of doing things impartially, paying taxes to the government of the ore town and benefiting his hometown people. So Lu Zhiyan chose to help this descendant of a hero who had been glorious for many years. He just thought Feng Ling was a very good young man.

"Master Lu, the initial work is mainly to open up the pasture, which is a bit hard. Are you willing to do it?"
