Chapter 152: The actions of the villagers

Lin Yuelan also smiled and said, "Master Hu, how do you think it should be settled?" Don't think she is a child, just think she will be led by the nose.

After Master Hu and a few brothers looked at each other, they said, "One day a day, or halfway through the project, once, and after the project is completed, all ends."

Work with others is settled in this way.

Whoever thought of it, Lin Yuelan shook her head.

Craftsman Hu's brothers looked at each other in dismay, while Craftsman Hu had a dark face, but he asked calmly, "Xiao Lin, do you think there is anything wrong with what we said?"

Lin Yuelan said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I have a better settlement method, which is more beneficial to you and me."

"What method?" Master Hu asked seriously.

"Contract!" Lin Yuelan said directly.

"What is contracting?" Craftsman Hu and his brothers were very puzzled.

Lin Yuelan said, "I will give you a sum of money, according to the size of the project, the estimated number of days to complete, no matter how many days you work, in short, you all have to finish within the stipulated time. If you can't finish it, you can ask someone to do it. But you pay the wages yourself, or you work overtime, you have to do it for me."

According to the daily salary, many people will delay the project for money. When the project is halfway through, and then pay the salary, some people will take the opportunity to ask for a salary increase. Therefore, contracting is the best choice.

Because no matter how long they work, they still have the same money. It is the same money for one day, and the same money for three days. In order to save, they are definitely willing to finish the work in one day.

But at the same time, this is also a drawback. In order to pursue speed and ignore quality, this requires a third party to supervise. Of course, these Lin Yuelan have already arranged.

Craftsman Hu and his four younger brothers did not quite understand the meaning of contracting.

However, Craftsman Hu cares most about money.

He asked directly, "What kind of house are you going to build?"

"Three-in, three-out, two-story building with a large tile-roofed house with a yard." Lin Yuelan's clear voice rang in the ears of their brothers.

"What?" Craftsman Hu was simply shocked.

It's unbelievable for a child to build a large tile-roofed house with three entrances and three exits and two floors.

You must know that this is a huge expense. The wages of several of them are only small, but the real big money is the materials for building the house.

However, the more shocking thing is yet to come...

"If you do well, I will also give you a few other yard projects that are no less than three in and three out." Lin Yuelan pursed a strong, sharp and confident smile at the corner of her mouth.

"What?!" This time, the brothers stood up in shock again, looking at Lin Yuelan with disbelief.

How much financial resources does this child have to be able to say these words with such confidence.

After the brothers came back to their senses, they slowly sat down again, but their expressions revealed their restlessness.

"Brother!" Craftsman Hu's brothers called him excitedly, meaning that they wanted to continue such a big project.

However, Craftsman Hu is worthy of being their eldest brother. He is calmer and calmer than the other brothers. He was not tempted for a while, which caused him to lose his sense and respond indiscriminately.

Craftsman Hu asked calmly, "You said contracting, how will you pay for the wages? How will you pay for the materials?"

Lin Yuelan said, "I said that I will give half of your wages first, and the other half will be paid after the project is completed. As for the materials, I will pay you and the third party at the same time."

"Third party?" This made Artisan Hu and the others puzzled, and a third party appeared.

Lin Yuelan said with a smile, "The third party, also known as the supervisor, is the person here, who is responsible for purchasing materials with you, supervising the progress of the project and other work."

Hearing the meaning of Lin Yuelan's words, Craftsman Hu, including his younger brothers, immediately blushed and said angrily, "Are you doubting our character? Otherwise, our brothers do engineering, Why do you need a layman to supervise?"

He could understand that the so-called supervisors are to prevent them from being lazy and not doing enough work. The most important point is to prevent them from cutting corners or shoddy. Is this completely doubting their brother's character?

Lin Yuelan knew that it was normal for Craftsman Hu to be angry. If it was any other person, he seemed to be suspicious of others' character and would definitely be angry, so Lin Yuelan didn't bother with them about being angry.

Lin Yuelan said very calmly and demurely, "I'm not doubting your character, but just guaranteeing the quality of my own engineering work. If I'm working, there won't be any problems, it's you, I'm good, everyone, everyone is happy. I am happy and kind, but once I find any problems with hands and feet, I will not care about anyone's sympathy.

However, you can rest assured that in terms of wages, you will never treat your brothers badly. In terms of food, I will ensure that you have plenty of meat. As for accommodation, I will also provide subsidies. Trust me, you guys will love this way of working together. "

To be honest, the preferential conditions proposed by Lin Yuelan are definitely better than what they used to do for a day and get a day's wages. However, it is absolutely false to say no, it's just that there is a third party in the middle, which makes them unhappy. .

Craftsman Hu said with some worry, "Then what if the third party you mentioned specifically opposes us for the money?"

Lin Yuelan said with a smile, "Don't worry, he will never do anything to help the public, even if he is instructing you, it is very likely that you really did not meet the construction requirements, but on the contrary, if this person has Suspected of character problems, then I will absolutely dismiss this person without saying a word, what do you think?"

"What if there is a conflict between the two sides?"

"Then you can just ask me to judge. After all, I am the owner of these houses and have the most say, don't I?"

"If that's the case, then we have no problem." Hu Craftsman said, "I still want to return to my previous question, which is also our most concerned question. How much money do you plan to give us to contract this house?"

"One hundred and eighty-two!"

One or two is a thousand wen, and for craftsmanship, it is usually 30 to 35 wen a day, which is still the best craftsman.

Therefore, one tael requires one person to work for about 30 days, and more than 100 taels is enough for more than 100 people to work for more than 30 days.

"This is still the salary of the first house with three-in and three-out. Believe my salary, you have a steel scale in your heart, but my sky-high salary is not something you don't want to give. My only requirement is that my house must be good, Be strong, be comfortable."

Obviously, it doesn't take more than 100 people to work for more than 30 days.

When Craftsman Hu gave Lin Yuelan the wages, of course he was moved.

He believed that in Ning'an Town, the five brothers of the Hu family did the best masonry work, otherwise, there would not be so many big families who would directly look for the five brothers.

This time they will come to pick up the work, but also because of the friendship with the shopkeeper Li, the shopkeeper Li asked them.

I thought that in the countryside, many and many good houses could be built, so they came over to make a total with the owner's family, and then built a house, which was considered to be a favor to Shopkeeper Li.

After all, even if people in the town are looking for them to do a lot of work, why go to the country.

Who would have thought that it would give them such a big surprise.

Artisan Hu discussed it with his four younger brothers, then nodded and said, "Our brothers have all accepted your words. When will you start working?"

"Three days later!"

"Okay, three days later, our brothers will bring the guys over."

After Artisan Hu and the others left, there was something else that made Lin Yuelan frown.

That's the window.

These ancient windows were all made of window paper, which was transparent, but not transparent or bright.

She wanted to get the glass out first.

The main materials of glass are mainly soda ash, limestone and quartz.

These three materials seem to be hard to find in Linjia Village.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuelan sighed lightly, and said, "It seems that the glass making thing will be put away later, and now the house will be fixed first."

In her space, these three things are not currently available. It seems that the materials must be found first.

...

Li Zhengjia

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law took the title deed of her old house and said to Li Zheng, "Old man, the title deed over the old house seems to be here, right?"

Lin Yiwei took a look at the title deed and said, "Well, it's all here. The old house and the surrounding open space and some scattered open spaces seem to add up to two acres."

There are only 40 or 50 families in Linjia Village. On the old house side, one occupies a small amount of land, and some people occupy a lot of land, just like the third Lin family occupies a lot of land. What kind of way to make things difficult for such a child.

Lizheng's wife looked at the empty yard and said to Lizheng, "Old man, it's getting dark today, and no one is coming here. Will everyone really be reluctant to sell to Lan girl?"

Lin Yiwei said, "Wait a minute! Maybe it's getting dark, and someone will come to the door." During the day, he probably didn't want to come, just because he was afraid of being seen and pointed at.

As Lin Yiwei said, when it got dark, someone came to the door.

"Changxing, Changxing's daughter-in-law, Lin Yiwei looked at Zhou Xiaoliu and asked, "You guys are here. "

"Uncle Li Zheng." Lin Changxing and Zhou Xiaoliu said respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Lin Yiwei asked deliberately.

The couple was in a hurry. After that, Lin Changxing held his own land deed and said to Lin Yiwei a little embarrassedly, "Uncle Li Zheng, we want to sell this land to Lan Yatou. This is the land deed."

Lin Yiwei didn't take the land deed, but stared at the couple very seriously, "Do your parents agree to the sale of your land?"

Lin Changxing's family has only one son, Lin Changxing. Now the son is married, but the old couple are still in charge of the house.

Just because of the reputation of Lan girl, are the old couple willing to sell their land to Lan girl?

Lin Changxing nodded and said, "They are willing, this land deed is what my parents asked us to take over."

Lin Yiwei was a little surprised, and said, "Your parents actually agree?" He remembered that Lin Changxing's parents used to point at Lan Yatou, saying that the nemesis broom star and so on, you can see how much they are at a glance Hate Lan girl.

Now it's surprising, it turned out to be the first one who agreed to sell the land of his old house to Lan girl, the sun is coming out from the west, right?

When Lin Changxing was asked about this, it was a little unnatural, but Zhou Xiaoliu took it and said, "It was when we were discussing this with my parents, my son was on the side, and he kept saying give, give, and my parents love my grandson. Sincerely, let us send the land deed immediately."

In fact, the fewer the children, the purer they are. In their subconscious world, it is easy to go away with their own subconscious, and this subconscious is usually hit by words, so many elderly people say that before the age of three You'd better believe what the child says subconsciously, because it is the guidance of the gods, otherwise, it will be too late to regret it.

Lin Changxing's son kept shouting that he wanted to give it. Lin Changxing's parents were a little superstitious, thinking that the appearance of their grandson was completely guided by the gods. In addition, they loved this grandson very much. Bring the title deed.

Lin Yiwei squinted slightly while listening to Zhou Xiaoliu's words, as if thinking deeply.

The land deed brought by Lin Changxing, the old house plus the vacant land was more than three acres, and Lin Yiwei gave the young couple the money according to 1621 acres.

When the young couple took the money, their expressions were excited.

A lot of money, a full fifty taels, this is the first time they have seen so much money.

After the couple left, Li Zheng's wife said to Li Zheng with some doubts, "Could it be that they would sell those lands because of the children's words?" Children over two years old can't even talk.

Lin Yiwei immediately had an idea, and said to his daughter-in-law, "Old lady, go outside and babble."

Although it was a little dark, at this time, most of the people had already eaten dinner, and then they would gather under the big tree to chat and relax after a tiring day.

Husband and wife have been together for decades, and the tacit understanding has long been formed. Li Zheng's wife said a little excitedly, "Old man, what do you mean?"

Li Zheng nodded and replied, "That's right."

...

Under the big tree, they had already gathered together in twos and threes to chat or something.

However, what they were talking about this time was about whether to sell the land to Lin Yuelan.

"Sell it. You can't grow anything in those lands anyway. It's a waste to be there. It's better to sell some money and save it."

The price of sixteen taels per mu is like a pie in the world.

In that place, almost every household has some, ranging from a few cents per mu to two or three mu, so if you sell it, you will definitely get a lot of money.

"I won't sell it." Someone said firmly, "If I sell it to her and it affects our family, it will be too late to regret it."

As soon as she said these words, everyone fell silent.

"Yo, what are you guys talking about?" Li Zheng's wife took a small bench, and when she saw that there was an empty seat, she put down the small bench and sat down.

Seeing Lizheng's daughter-in-law, everyone felt that they had stopped talking, and then they all smiled and said to Lizheng's daughter-in-law, "No, everyone doesn't know whether to sell their land to Lan girl. Sister Zhou, do you have any ideas?"

Although everyone does not know why the Lizheng family is so partial to Lan girl, even if Lin Mingqing had an accident and said that he was restrained by Lan girl, Li Zheng, including Lizheng's daughter-in-law, did not seem to blame Lan girl, and even subsidized her from time to time. Lan girl.

However, they also believe that Li Zheng, who is just and responsible, will never put everyone's safety at risk because he is partial to Lan girl.

Lizheng's wife waved her hand and said with a smile, "What can I think of, my family's affairs are all decided by my old man. No, before I came here, he took the land deed from the old house from the drawer. Take them all out and sell them to Lan girl."

"Aunt Zhou, how much land does your family have over there?" the young daughter-in-law asked curiously.

Lizheng's wife wrote, "Not much, just two acres of land, should be able to return for thirty-five or sixty-two."

As soon as they heard that the two acres of land were changed to more than 30 taels, some people were once again subconsciously moved.

More than 30 taels, you can sell two or three acres of fine land.

The two acres are useless, and the open space that can only grow some small vegetables can be exchanged for two or three acres of high-quality fields.

"Sister Zhou, don't think about it anymore. What if you sell it to Lan girl and get beaten by her?"

This is the scruples of these middle-aged and elderly people.

Li Zheng's wife shook her head and said, "It's not my Kang'er. As soon as he said that the land was planned to be sold to Lan girl, she immediately took the title deed and ran to Lan girl's house, but fortunately, we pulled it back and followed her. He guaranteed that the earth would be delivered to Sister Lan, so he didn't let him run away so recklessly."

She was only three years old when she had a well-off child.

As soon as the middle-aged and elderly people heard that it was Kang'er who ran directly to Lan Yatou's house with the title deed, they were a little surprised, their thoughts turned around, and their hearts felt a little at a loss.

The young man said in confusion and surprise, "Aunt Zhou, just because Kang Er said to give the land deed to Lan girl, you decided to sell the land deed to Lan girl? This, this is too reckless?"

Lizheng's wife immediately said to them seriously and seriously, "This is not reckless. Although Kangkang is only three years old, there are old people who say that children under three years old, those ignorant words and behaviors are guided by gods. Therefore, since Kangkang said that the land deed should be given to the girl, which means that those gods supported Kangkang's behavior, so Kangkang said, my old man and I sold the land to Lan girl."

As soon as Li Zheng's wife's words fell, the atmosphere was a little quiet.

Then, someone stood up and said, "Oh, it's so late today, I'll go back to sleep first, you guys continue to chat."

"Hey, wait for me, I'll go back too."

...

People leave one after another, but those with eyes will find that most of these people who leave in a hurry are families with children under the age of three.

Also that night, several families knocked on the door of Lizheng's house one after another.

The next day, Li Zheng went directly to Lin Yuelan.

"Lady Lan, this is the title deed sent by everyone yesterday. There are more than 20 acres in total and about ten families."

Lin Yuelan took these land deeds, looked at them, and said to Li Zheng very gratefully, "Grandpa Li Zheng, thank you!" Lin Yiwei smiled and said, "Girl, it's too early to thank me. Most of these people don't have land yet? "I'm afraid, we still need to do some work.

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, I still have to thank you, you have worked hard for the past two days." Lizheng must be thankful for her busy work.

Lin Yiwei was a little worried and said, "Girl, you are buying these land at such a high price, hundreds of acres, at least a thousand taels, this is just buying land, that person builds a house, builds a fence, Everywhere comes down, how many thousand taels? Is this enough money?"

The 400 taels that Lin Yuelan had given before were almost used up now.

With that said, he took out two hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Lin Yuelan, "Grandpa has some money here, can you use it first?"

Lin Yuelan was really touched. There are many icing on the cake, and few people give away carbon in the snow.

Although she is not short of carbon, she still has to remember this kind of favor. When she wants to pay it back in the future, she has to pay it back.

However, she is really short of money, because she never thought that on the first day, such a person sold the land deed to her, so the four hundred taels to Lizheng should be almost spent, and she had no money on hand. how much.

If someone sells the land again and the money doesn't come out, it will have a bad impact.

Therefore, for this kindness, Lin Yuelan intends to accept it.

She said to Lizheng, "Thank you, Grandpa Lizheng. After a while, I will definitely pay back the money."

Lin Yiwei shook his head and said, "Girl, we're not in a hurry, you use it first, and you can pay it back when you want." Although two hundred taels are more, they can't use it for the time being.

Lin Yuelan said, "Grandpa Lizheng, some time ago, I went to collect medicinal herbs again, and took them to the Lin family pharmacy in town for money. However, two days ago, the shopkeeper Lin said that he couldn't buy the thing I picked, so I planned to Go outside to look for sales, I guess I will be back in two days."

It takes at least four days to go back and forth to the provincial capital.

It's been two days now, and I expect to be back in the next two days.

Lin Yiwei's eyes widened when he heard that Lin Yuelan had picked up another expensive medicinal material.

Is this girl so lucky?

However, what kind of medicinal materials were collected? It was necessary for the shopkeeper Lin of the Lin family pharmacy to go outside to find a big buyer, but he was unable to buy them himself?

It's just that Lin Yiwei was on the other side of worry. He said, "Girl, are you picking medicinal herbs in the deep mountains of Daao Mountain?"

Lin Yuelan nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Nonsense!" Lin Yiwei's face darkened and he scolded, "Don't you know how dangerous it is? Even if you have Xiaobai to protect you, what about the gang that Xiaobai encounters, those wolves, mountain Pigs are all in groups. Don't talk about protecting you at that time. I'm afraid Xiaobai may be unable to protect himself? How dangerous is this.

Also, those heaven and earth treasures all have guardian beasts. If you are injured by them, what should you do? "

Lin Yiwei didn't know about his abilities, so his worries were obvious.

Of course, Lin Yuelan would never tell anyone her secrets.

She smiled and said to Lin Yiwei, "Grandpa Lizheng, don't worry, I know what to do. I assure you that I will protect myself well, and I will never be hurt by any beast!"

Lin Yiwei left with a dubious expression, but he was muttering, "Why does this girl look like she is not afraid of the sky?"

Lin Yuelan ignored Lin Yiwei's doubts, she took the title deed, and then marked the floor plan she had drawn one by one.

On the other side, Lin Deshan, who had returned from the provincial capital, did not bother to put it on himself, and drove a carriage or two directly towards Linjia Village.

He still had a few 10,000 taels of silver notes in his arms, and he always felt uneasy in his heart, but his face was still calm.

When driving a horse-drawn carriage from town to Linjia Village, I passed a mountain road with tall grass and dense trees on both sides, which made it easy for people to hide, which made Lindeshan even more uneasy.

He drove the carriage and wanted to get out of this road quickly.

but……

Suddenly, there was an extra piece of wood on the road, blocking the carriage's way.

Lin Deshan hurriedly got out of the car and checked.

This piece of wood was placed horizontally, and it was obvious that it was either an ox cart or a horse-drawn cart to be intercepted.

Lin Deshan looked around, but didn't find any figure, so he frowned deeply and muttered, "No one, who is playing this prank?"

Then, bent over to set the crossbar aside.

"Stop, don't move!" The man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a knife, said fiercely, "I've finally caught a wood thief."

Lin Deshan was startled when he looked at the vicious people who suddenly appeared, and cried bitterly to himself, "It seems that there was a real robbery."

However, Lin Deshan said calmly, "This strong man, is there any misunderstanding? I will definitely not be a thief?"

The vicious man said, "Hey, stop talking nonsense. I said you stole, and you stole.
