Yang Lin Li Yuyao works

Chapter 55 Five Great Things

    

there's actually a river" Liao Hongying couldn't help but be surprised."Yes, that's great!" Yang Lin was also overjoyed.Although this river is only about thirty or forty meters wide, the current is st...Originally, no one naively thought Yang Lin would give the land away for free. Everyone was still worried about whether they could afford to redeem their own land.

When they heard that they could redeem their land for the original price, the villagers were moved to tears of joy!

You know, when the land was sold to Liu's family, the price wasn't high.

Many had silver coins, while others only had a few hundred copper coins.

At Yang Lin's place, he works for five copper coins a day. It won't take a year to pay it all off!

For a moment, many people were so excited that they burst into tears.

They were so happy!

Since they became tenant farmers, they never dared to dream that such a day would come!

"Claiming your land is the first order of business. Once everyone arrives and lines up, you can collect your deeds back! This season's harvest from your plots belongs to you as well!"

"Let me say another thing."

Yang Lin extended two fingers and shouted to the crowd, word by word: "The second thing, raise! Wages!"

"Starting next month, everyone who has been working for me up until today will have their daily wage increased by one penny!"

That is to say, what was originally five wen a day will be six wen a day starting next month; what was originally ten wen a day will be eleven wen a day starting next month!

After those two sentences were spoken, the scene once again erupted in excitement.

More than 100 people from Koushan Village are working for him.

Originally five coins a day was already quite high, now it's going to increase again

These over 100 people are all excited.

They never dreamed they could make so much money!

And the villagers who didn't work in Yanglin, both envied and regretted it.

I regret not taking the job at Yanglin. I envy those who work for him, because they'll earn an extra thirty wen every month!

Thirty copper coins isn't a small sum, it's enough to earn half a month's wages working for Mr. Liu before!

Therefore, many people are secretly feeling bitter.

"Don't worry, everyone. I still have opportunities to work."

This is also the third thing I want to announce, I'm hiring ten more people. These ten people's work will be harder, so they need strong men.

Of course, the wages will also be higher, ten cash a day!

When they heard the amount of ten wen, villagers raised their hands one after another.

"I I I!"

"I am strong!"

"I can do the job!"

I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness!

Everyone pushed and shoved, eager to grab a spot.

That's ten wen a day! Back then, I wouldn't have even dared to dream of such a thing.

"Don't all crowd in, if you want to work, line up here when it's your turn. If you don't get picked this time, there will be another opportunity next time."

Now, I will announce the fourth thing!

The villagers all swallowed hard.

The three things that happened in a row were all good news for them.

I wonder what the fourth thing is.

Yang Lin extended four fingers: "This fourth thing, I will let everyone make money!"

I need some carpenters, roofers, blacksmiths, or other skilled craftsmen.

"But everyone knows that there are only so many craftsmen in our village, so I want everyone to help introduce some. "Whoever successfully introduces a craftsman will be rewarded with ten wen! Introduce two, and you'll get twenty wen. The more you introduce, the more rewards you'll get – there's no limit!"

After Yang Lin finished speaking, the scene exploded again.

"My second uncle's family of four are carpenters. If they all come to work, they'll give me forty wen"

Someone asked incredulously.

"That's right," Yang Lin nodded. "Of course, it takes a real craftsman. If it's fake or the workmanship isn't good, I won't accept it either."

"That's great, I'll go to Da Wang Zhuang right away and call my second uncle's family over!"

Many people started to think about which of their inactive relatives who worked as craftsmen they could introduce.

As for whether relatives would be willing to come

Come on, ten pennies a day! Who wouldn't come

"Last thing."

Yang Lin stretched out a hand and shouted loudly, “Today, the guard unit fought against bandits. Not only did they beat the bandits to a rout, but they also killed one and captured seven! To celebrate today's victory, each member of the guard unit will receive 20 wen in bonus! Tomorrow, we will hold another pork feast. This time, I invite all the elders and folks from our village to come!”

After Yang Lin finished speaking, a moment of silence was followed by cheers that erupted.

Many people had tears in their eyes, overwhelmed with emotion.

Yang Lin's five announcements today can be said to benefit everyone in the village!

They owned land, wages went up, they received bonuses, and they could still make money by referring people...

Last but not least, I even got to enjoy a luxurious pork feast!

Thinking of the crispy and tender pork in a large pot, many people's mouths are watering.

Last time Yang Lin hosted a feast for over thirty villagers who worked on the construction project, along with their over one hundred family members, the aroma of pork spread throughout the entire village. It really made many children drool with envy.

That day, countless people were salivating at the smell.

And tomorrow, they will be able to enjoy a feast of pork as well!

The villagers were all excited, but Zhong Tao wore a very unnatural expression and ran over to explain to Yang Lin.

How the bandits surrendered, he still doesn't know, and Yang Lin actually took credit for it and gave the bonuses to their security detail

Zhongtao felt guilty.

However, Yang Lin wouldn't listen to his explanation at all. He only whispered one sentence: "The bandits were defeated by the guard corps!"

Soon, the ten new recruits were chosen.

Yang Lin called the ten people over and glanced at them. Seeing Tie Zhu's father among them, Yang Lin directly said, "Uncle Wang, I'm preparing to establish a coal mining workshop. You lead the team."

"The task is simple, collect this black stone called coal from Old Black Mountain, which is about twenty miles away, and transport it back to our village."

"Currently, you have ten people, plus the seven bandits captured over there."

Ten people were stunned speechless.

They didn't even know what coal was, but they dared to hire bandits to do their work!

Lao Wang glanced at those bandits and couldn't help asking, "Can this really work"

"No problem! Usually, we tie ropes around their feet and string them together, leaving their hands free to work."

“Let them do all the hard work, you guys are mainly responsible for watching over them and collecting the coal once it's mined and transporting it back to our village.”

“I just interrogated them. There’s a cave on Mount Heishān, that's their hideout. It’s pretty decent and big enough for all of us to live in.”

I'll get you another cook, and someone to handle the shopping for your three meals a day.

"Let's go take a look now and arrange everything properly. We'll aim to start construction tomorrow!"

Heaven has bestowed upon him an open-pit coal mine, Yang Lin is eager to put it to use!

Just as the villagers were celebrating...

Liu, the landlord's house.

Liu Liang, who had been filled with anger and grief, was dumbfounded after hearing what his mother had told him., the process of crushing it first and then grinding it into powder would still be too cumbersome without a stone crusher nowadays."That way, I'll have the workshop build a new type of watermill speci...
