Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

It would be a great honor if Village Chief Zhang really taught me personally, after all, he is a real Jinshi.

By then, no matter how unwilling his son is, he will have to send him in to study hard.

These words made Zhang Laoer involuntarily think of the plan he had discussed with his wife in private. The two were so similar!

He secretly looked into the crowd and saw his wife holding their daughter with a happy smile on her face.

No words are needed, each other's feelings are clear.

"Haha, that's not necessary, but I guarantee that the teacher we invited must be very knowledgeable, perhaps even better than me. He is my eldest brother, and my enlightenment education came from him."

Zhang Laoer's words not only answered everyone's doubts, but also made people more expectant about the upcoming changes.

There is really nothing false in this statement. In the past, Zhang Laoer indeed grew up step by step under the influence of Zhang Laoda.

Their age difference is nearly ten years. In order to cultivate a deep friendship between brothers, their parents arranged for the older Zhang to take the responsibility of taking care of the younger brother.

Facing this elder brother who was always gentle and patient, Zhang Laoer would most likely restrain himself even if he occasionally had some naughty thoughts in his mind.

As for the man who is about to become their husband, it is said that he is the village chief's elder brother. Even the knowledgeable and decisive village chief grew up under the careful guidance of this elder brother.

As soon as the news came out, the villagers felt relieved and trust and expectation arose spontaneously.

The topic changed and turned to a more practical issue - money.

"I mentioned earlier that we should keep it within everyone's capabilities. In fact, it is because our village still has a small amount of savings. Do you remember the collective hunting? The meat of the captured tigers, bears, deer and other prey naturally went into the stomach to nourish the body, and the precious fur was sold for a considerable income, a full 700 taels of silver."

"Of course, this amount of money cannot meet the needs of renovating new houses for the whole village, but I have figured out a solution: building a house is the business of each household after all, so naturally each household has to bear some expenses. Therefore, everyone should temporarily hand over the money they plan to use to the village, and the village will give each family a receipt as a voucher."

"The village will use the funds to purchase materials and hire workers. You can rest assured about the stability and quality of the houses. When the new houses are built, you can redeem your houses from the village at the cost price. The cost is nothing more than the expenses of wood, stone, adobe, bricks and tiles, plus some necessary supplements. I believe everyone has a clear idea of ​​this."

"If the final cost of building the house is lower than the amount you paid in advance, we will return the excess without missing a cent. If you are temporarily short of money, don't worry, it can be gradually deducted from the wages you will receive in the future. Speaking of wages, I know you must be curious about the source, right?"

The audience responded in unison: "That's right!"

"Building a house naturally requires manpower. A young and strong man is paid 15 wen a day as a temporary worker in the county, which is 450 wen a month. The construction period will definitely take more than a month. No matter whether you are male or female, old or young, as long as you can contribute, you can participate. However, the salary will vary depending on the division of labor. When the new house is built, the wages will be settled together with the prepaid amount, and the new residence will belong to you smoothly, right?"

As for the few families whose financial situation is a little tight, there is no need to worry too much.

"Why not move in first? There is always work to be done in the village. You can work while slowly deducting the money owed from your wages. Mr. Guo knows this little thing like a mirror. He knows every family's situation very well. It won't work if you try to fool around, right, Mr. Guo?"

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the weathered old man beside him, his eyes full of trust.

Hearing this, Mr. Guo smiled kindly and nodded slightly: "Of course!"

"Village leader, we won't do that."

The smiles in the crowd were different. Some people treated it as a joke and laughed it off easily; some laughed a little awkwardly, feeling uneasy in their hearts; and some were secretly glad, as if some of their previous little thoughts had been cleverly resolved.

"Finally, the three meals a day for the villagers who participated in the house construction will be paid by the village. How about it? Let's work together to move into the new house before the Chinese New Year, and the whole family can celebrate the New Year in a brand new home!"

These words seemed to ignite the passion in everyone's heart, and everyone was eager to try it out.

Everyone began to silently calculate the cost of materials, labor, and daily meals needed to build a house.

It is expected that this will be an arduous and lengthy task, with the whole village working together. If you want to get your family's turn, you may have to wait for a long time.

However, the village chief's plan sounds reassuring: prepare the expected money first, and the rest is just waiting for the moment to move in.

The material costs are charged according to actual expenses, and the shortfall can be offset by wages.

What if the prepaid amount is enough?

Wouldn't it be possible to not only earn free wages every day, but also have three free meals?

When you think about it carefully, it is indeed a great deal!

While the villagers felt that it was a good deal, a few of them who were more thoughtful secretly admired Zhang Laoer's wisdom.

This method not only stimulated the villagers' enthusiasm for self-reliance, but also won everyone's respect. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, which is really brilliant!

The villagers readily agreed to Zhang Laoer's proposal without much hesitation, and then some people couldn't wait to ask when the construction would start and how the wages would be paid.

Zhang Laoer did not pretend to be mysterious and directly revealed the specific arrangements: "Next, let's talk about the wage distribution issue that everyone is concerned about. First, we have to divide into several groups. The first group will be responsible for bricklaying and laying tiles. We need men with good physical strength. The daily wage is 15 cents. This group is limited to 30 people, and the team leader will be elected by the group."

"The second group is mainly responsible for building the frame of the house. It is also mainly composed of men. There is no limit to the number of people. The stronger the body, the better. This job is the most difficult and requires strength like an ox. The daily salary is 18 coins. After the registration is closed, the team leader will select the team members."

"The third group, carpenters, regardless of gender, also pay 15 cents per day. They are mainly responsible for felling trees and basic carpentry work. Carpenter Liu, we will have to rely on you to give us more guidance when the time comes. As for your usual handicrafts, such as furniture making, we will still charge you according to the normal standard and will not include it in this list, so as to avoid you suffering a loss."

After hearing this, Carpenter Liu felt much more at ease.

How could a new house be without furniture? With so many families living there, if he were to pay him fifteen cents a day, he probably wouldn't even be able to recover his costs.

"Team 4 is responsible for logistics support, and will receive eight cents a day. There is no limit to the number of people. Aunt Guo, I'll leave the logistics to you. You have to make sure everyone has enough food. Ingredients from the village will be used first. If they are insufficient, we will purchase them from outside. The prices must be fair and just."

"OK, no problem!"
