Chapter 55 Five Great Blessings

uss, what can happen In the end, I'll just be the laughing stock.When Li Yuhua didn't know what to do, she realized that the hand on her body wasn't trying to take advantage of her, but rather wanted...Originally, no one naively believed 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 at the original price, the villagers were overjoyed and tears welled up in their eyes!

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

Many have one or two silver coins, while few only have a few hundred copper coins.

Working here at Yang Lin's place, he earns five cash per day. He won't need a year to pay it all back!

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

They were so happy!

Since becoming tenant farmers, they never dared to dream of such a day!

"Claiming your land is the first order of business. Once everyone arrives, you can line up and retrieve your deeds! The harvest from this season's fields belongs to you all!"

"Let me say another thing."

Yang Lin stretched out 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 wages increased by one cent!"

That is to say, originally five cash a day, starting next month, it will be six cash a day; originally ten cash a day, starting next month, it will be eleven cash a day!

Once those two sentences were uttered, the scene erupted once again.

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

Five wen a day was already high, and now it's going to increase

More than a hundred people were all excited.

They never dreamed they could make so much money!

And the villagers who didn't work at Yanglin, felt both envy and regret.

I regret not taking the job at Yanglin. I envy those who are working for him, as they will be able to earn an extra thirty wen each month!

Thirty wen is a good amount, enough to earn half a month's wages working for Mr. Liu before!

Therefore, many people feel a bit sour inside.

"Don't worry, everyone. I still have opportunities to get things done."

This is also the third thing I want to announce. I'm going to hire ten more people. These ten people's work will be more tiring, so it requires men with strong energy.

Of course, the wages would be higher too, ten wen a day!

When they heard about the ten taels of silver, the 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 fatigue!"

Everyone jostled and pushed forward, eager to grab a spot.

That's ten cash a day! Back then, we wouldn't even have dared to dream about it.

"Don't crowd, if you want to work, just line up over here later. If you don't get picked this time, there will be another chance next time."

"Now, I'm going to announce the fourth thing!"

All the villagers swallowed their saliva.

The three things that happened in succession were all great things for them.

I wonder what this fourth thing is

Yang Lin held up four fingers: "This fourth thing, I'll 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." "This isn't a favor done for free. For every successful introduction of a craftsman, you get ten wen! Two people introduced is twenty wen, the more you introduce, the more rewards you get, no limit!"

After Yang Lin finished speaking, the scene erupted once again.

"My uncle's family has four 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 skill level isn't good enough, I won't accept it either."

"That's great, I'll go to DaWangzhuang right away and call my uncle's family over!"

Many people began to think about which family members who were skilled craftsmen but didn't usually go out, they could introduce.

As for whether relatives will be willing to come

Come on, ten cents a day Anyone who doesn't come is an idiot!

"Last thing."

Yang Lin stretched out a palm and shouted loudly, "Today, the guard team fought against bandits, not only beating them to pieces but also killing one and capturing seven! To celebrate today's victory, each member of the guard team will receive twenty wen as a reward! Tomorrow, we will hold another pig feast. This time, I invite all the fathers and elders from our entire village!"

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

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

Yang Lin's announcement today of these five things can be said to benefit everyone in the village!

They had land, rising wages, bonuses, and could even make money by recruiting people...

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

Just thinking about the delicious, crispy and tender pork in the big pot makes many people's mouths water.

Last time Yang Lin hosted a banquet for the over thirty workers, along with their families of over one hundred people, the aroma of pork filled the entire village. It truly made many children drool with hunger.

That day, countless people were drooling at the smell.

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

The villagers were all excited, but Zhong Tao looked very unnatural. He ran over to Yang Lin wanting to explain.

How the bandits surrendered is still a mystery to them, and Yang Lin somehow took credit for it, awarding the guards with bonuses

Zhong Tao felt ashamed.

However, Yang Lin simply wouldn't listen to his explanation. He only whispered one sentence to him: The bandits were defeated by the guards!

Soon, the ten new recruits were selected.

Yang Lin called the ten people aside and glanced at them. Seeing Tie Zhu's father among them, Yang Lin directly said, "Uncle Wang, I am preparing to establish a coal mine, you come lead the team."

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

"Currently, there are ten of you, plus the seven bandits who were captured over there."

Ten people were stunned speechless.

They may not know what coal is, but they even dare to use bandits for labor!

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

"No problem! Usually, we tie ropes around their legs and string them together. That way, they'll have both hands free to work."

"All the hard and tiring work will be left to them. Your main responsibility is to watch over them and collect the mined coal, then transport it back to our village."

I just interrogated them. There's a cave on Old Black Mountain, it's their hideout. The conditions are pretty good, enough for all of us to live in.

“I’ll get you another cook and someone responsible for shopping, to take care of your three meals a day.”

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

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

...just as the villagers were celebrating....

Liu, the landlord's house.

Liu Liang, who was originally filled with anger and grief, was stunned after hearing what his mother had told him. blueprints, but the more she looked, the more confused she became."What's this"What is this againHe doesn't not understand the blueprints, it's that what's drawn on them isn't even a blast furnace!Th...
