Chapter 13 Untitled

Sun Asi nodded again and asked hesitantly: "Dare you ask the head of the family, can you exchange wages for food?"

Farmers have almost no money and usually barter. Therefore, most people are used to changing to food or linen.

As for food, there are more millet than wheat. Because millet is cheaper, you can get more and eat more for a longer period of time.

"It's okay to change the food." Seeing the head of the family, Xu An said, "I'll buy it after dinner, and buy all the rice dumplings."

The little girl secretly pulled her father's sleeve. Sun Asi smiled helplessly and said, "That, the villain may need to take action." After pausing, he added again, "Don't have a salary, just eat."

The little girl's little movements and Sun Asi's fear of being rejected made Xu Qilin agree happily.

Sun Asi and the little girl left happily, and Xu An said to Xu Qilin: "The head of the family is doing good deeds. He promised so well that the villain didn't have time to dissuade him. Sun Asi also said that he was just a matter of making a living for his wife and the little girl."

Can such a pure exploitation be called doing good?

Xu Qilin felt like an unscrupulous contractor, laughed dryly and said, "It looks very pitiful. If you have a good craftsmanship, let them have a few full meals!"

"The family's main body is polite to the farmer, but they get a bargain." Xu An said: "If you want to say that Sun Asi's craftsmanship is okay, but he has no land and does odd jobs in the countryside. He is hungry and full, and his life is difficult."

Xu Qilin thought for a while and asked, "How many people don't have any land in our village? What kind of business are they? You can investigate and tell me."

Xu An laughed and said, "No more investigation is needed. I know every household. Let the account be sorted out and report it to the head of the family to the evening."

"Then I'll have Uncle Luan." Xu Qilin said politely and asked Xu An to have dinner together, but Xu An refused on the pretext.

Although Xu Qilin can look respectful, Xu An dare not eat with the head of the family. Xu Qilin didn't care about this.

As a little landlord, I got used to it in front of me!

Before Xu Qilin finished his meal, Sun Asi and his family of three came, carrying all kinds of carpenter tools.

At that time, the common people basically had two meals a day, and the Sun A-Si family didn't eat breakfast at all, so they came so quickly.

Xu Qilin also figured it out that other people’s living habits are different from those of themselves!

After eating the last two bites of porridge, Xu Qilin got up and went out to arrange work for Sun Asi's family.

In fact, it is not about creating any complex utensils, just high-foot tables and chairs, and a bookshelves.

As for high-foot tables and chairs, Xu Qilin brought a few pieces and asked Sun Asi to make them according to the style; Xu Qilin asked the bookshelf to draw pictures and size according to the size of the bedroom wall.

Xu An asked his servants to carry a few pieces of wood. Although it was not precious and rare, Xu Qilin's requirements were not high, so it would be sturdy.

After explaining the work, Sun Asi and his family started working in the courtyard, which was very quick and realistic.

Although Xu Qilin felt that he was exploiting, the householders in the village were really not worried about delaying work, even though the wages were calculated on a daily basis.

Xu An also invited Xu Qilin to the side courtyard to supervise the work of recruiting people to open workshops.

"The owner of the family is polite to the farmer. As long as the food is not vague, there is no need to waste the wages." Xu An advised while walking, "If you want grain, you can give the millet and the three coins of copper coins, you will be enough. If you give too much, you will have to follow this standard for hiring labor in the future. If you find helpers in other families, if you don't give this price, you will not be able to start work."

Xu Qilin said that if you want to be generous, you have to follow the local customs. The values ​​of the 21st century are still inappropriate in this dynasty and may even cause hatred.

For example, if you want to have a good reputation, you don’t lack this little money, but you still can’t reduce it too much, or even don’t charge it.

If you do that, wouldn’t you offend all the landlords around you? You are kind and polite, so others are just sucking bones and marrows?

When a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. When a person and doing things, you must be as good as the light. Xu Qilin still understands this principle.

"This is not busy at this time. When the laborers come to work, they can not only get their wages, but also save food for their families. Those with conscience have to work hard." Xu An was still talking, but when it comes to conscience, Xu Qilin still had a fever on his face.

However, Xu Qilin admired him very much. Xu An is a meticulous person who knows how to support the master's face and gain a good reputation, and can avoid wasting money.

Xu Qilin nodded and was inspired while listening.

After all, they are people from this era. They understand the life and needs of the merchants, understand the economic situation at that time, and act like a person who is a person who is so slapped and fat.

While speaking, I had already arrived at the side hospital. I said that I had only recruited ten people, but there were fifteen or sixteen of them, all of whom were strong laborers.

This kind of scene doesn't require the head of the family to come forward. Even though Xu Qilin has an old man, he is really not the head of the family.

Xu An is the manager of the village and is familiar with everyone. He went up to explain the matter in a few words, reported it to Xu Qilin, and pointed out the person he liked.

Xu Qilin sat there just like a gesture and followed Xu An's arrangements. There were only five or six remaining people, and he made a temporary appointment and arranged for him to work as a temporary worker in the back garden.

The garden was originally quite large, and it was covered with weeds and broken bricks. When it was dark, the wind blew the grass, and even the materialist atheist Xu Qilin felt panic.

After cleaning up all the weeds and debris, build what should be built, dig what should be digging, and transplant two duck-footed trees. Well, the two tall and large trees on the front of the village are good.

This is the benefit of landlords. The fields here, the houses here, the trees here, the water here, the air here... Well, it's all mine.

"Erlang, this is the time to get better after the transplanted trees are in autumn." Xu An felt that Xu Qilin's plan was a little problem, and he had to remind him, "The beginning of spring is also good."

"Then let's move again in autumn." Xu Qilin advised him and said, "First repair the pavilion, corridor, and flower pond, and then plant some flowers and plants. Well, it's best to get a small bamboo forest."

"This is easy." Xu An nodded in agreement, "It turns out that there is a pool of Qushui in the garden, which can be re-cleaned and dredged, and planted some lotus..."

Well, um! Xu Qilin nodded repeatedly, and the beautiful scene of lush trees, flowers and grass, and bamboo water appeared in his mind.

After the recruitment was completed, his family member Xu Bao arranged the work. When making money in the mansion, Xu Qilin also paid attention to the available talents.
