Chapter 1502 A major event affecting the village (2)
"You've heard of it before."
"Of course I've heard of it. My family has relatives who married in Lihua Village a few years ago. Every time they come back, they show off to me, saying that their family is now working in the Murong family's fields, and they don't need to travel far. You can earn several taels a month."
"Yes, I've heard it too. I heard that the Murong family is a legend. In a short period of time, they went from nothing to now owning a hundred acres of fertile land. They were also appointed by His Majesty, and his daughter still has a gold medal to avoid death."
"How could such a rich man come to our village? Did he come to buy land in the village?"
"Most likely yes, otherwise what is Li calling us to do?"
"No, I heard my relatives who married in Lihua Village say that the land in Lihua Village is very spacious, enough for them to buy it."
"Then what are they here for? They look like children, and they don't seem to be able to decide big things."
"I don't know, let's see what Li Zheng said."
Peng Dazhi also heard some people's words, and said sternly: "Everyone be quiet, don't guess, I believe everyone knows that the Murong family has a lot of land in Lihua Village, but there are many people in Lihua Village now. They are all building houses, there are not enough manpower, and the work on their land is a little tight, so they want to come to our village to recruit some people to work in the past."
The crowd exploded again and chatted again.
"He actually came to our village to recruit people to work in the past. There are such good things in the world."
"I don't know how much the wages are. I heard last year that it costs 30 cents a day just to open up wasteland and pick vegetables."
"Your news is too out of date. I heard a few days ago that they have all been raised their wages, and they have 60 wen a day."
"Sixty cents, that's too much. If I can earn sixty cents a day, I'll eat meat every day."
"I also heard that the wages for different jobs are different. You all know that they have a shop, right? I heard that the people who work in the shop have two taels of silver a month. They will send several kilograms of meat, and they don’t even need to buy clothes, the owner directly sends them work clothes, and the materials are much better than what we wear.”
"Really? The Murong family is so generous?"
"Of course it's true. I have a relative's child who works in the shop, and the monthly salary is 22 taels. When I went to the city to buy things, I made a detour to see Zhi Ye Zhai. The work clothes that everyone wears are all made of silk and satin materials, and they are very energetic. Their family, now it can be said to be a relatively wealthy family in Lihua Village, it is no problem to eat meat every day.”
"Can you eat meat every day? That's too enviable. The last time I ate meat was during Chinese New Year."
"It's not like the conditions for working in a shop. I heard that you need to know words and you can settle accounts. It's really not good for ordinary people."
"That's too demanding."
"It's not high, Zhi Yezhai's fruits and vegetables are expensive, and all the rich people receive, and they must be capable people, otherwise people can't figure it out if they ask you to do a calculation, it won't affect Zhi Yezhai's business Well."
"makes sense."
“…”
Peng Dazhi listened to their words, and continued: "However, there are some things to say before, the Murong family wants 60 people to go there for the time being, 30 men and 30 men, all of them must be over fifteen years old and under thirty-five years old. healthy people."
