Chapter 78: Don’t Disturb Me as I Work Hard for the Rise of My Family.

…

"Having said that, this development project can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars." Liu Yuanrui calmed down, but also had some doubts. "I heard that in recent years, the Wang family..."

The Wang family has been in decline over the years, so where did it come from with so much money?

"Don't worry Yuan Rui." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Brother Yu has made arrangements for this."

Liu Yuanrui's expression froze. Is this a matter of worry? I was just curious... However, he knew the etiquette and the rules after all, so he kept silent immediately.

Of course Wang Shouzhe knew very well that his engagement to the daughter of the Liu family was a morale booster for everyone in the Wang family. After all, the Liu family was quite powerful and could be relied upon by the Wang family.

Even the family elders have this mentality.

But for the Liu family, there were more or less complaints and emotions about the fact that the dignified eldest daughter Qianjin was going to marry a child of a declining family. It's just that this marriage was decided by the ancestors of both parties, so the younger generations naturally couldn't object.

Because of this, Wang Shouzhe was quite calm about the marriage, neither overjoyed nor arrogant. If the Wang family is to be truly strong, it cannot be achieved by climbing high branches and hugging the thighs.

Even though he knew that the younger generations of the Liu family would definitely feel some complaints and dissatisfaction in their hearts, he still expressed his understanding. After all, on the surface, the Wang family and the Liu family were very different. He would naturally feel uncomfortable marrying like this.

"Huh? Brother Shouzhe, there are a lot of people coming over there." Liu Ruolei was quite sharp-eyed. Through the window of the carriage, she saw a group of people coming this way in the distance.

And behind that group of people, in the distance, there were groups of people coming this way.

"Those are all civilians from our Ping'an Town." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Presumably, they all heard the news about my Wang family's recruitment and came to respond."

"So many people came to apply?" Liu Yuanrui was surprised, "Brother Shouzhe, how much does your Wang family charge? Stop the car, I want to take a look."

His curiosity was suddenly aroused. This dredging and filling project was already a huge project. If the labor price was increased, the cost would be too high. How could Wang afford it?

Since Liu Yuanrui wanted to see it, Wang Shouzhe would not stop him and ordered Wang Laoshi to stop the car. The other generals also stopped and guarded the carriage.

Such an aura naturally made the civilians afraid to come over, so they could only stay away and gather towards the work shed.

"Don't crowd, come and sign up one by one." Two young boys, aged fourteen or fifteen, who looked a little immature, maintained order. "We, the Wang family, provide work-for-relief and are well paid. As long as you are willing to do the work, I guarantee that your whole family will be happy." Being able to eat.”

"Come, come, come here to register. I, the Wang family, are employed, and food and accommodation are included." Two more little girls moved tables and chairs respectively and began to register the applicants. "Sixteen to forty years old The monthly wage for young and strong laborers is half a load of old rice, the healthy women receive 20 jins of old rice per month, and the young men between the ages of 12 and 16 receive 20 jins per month.”

The two little girls were both articulate and quick in registering people. As if it was too much trouble to explain each one, I simply found a clever young man on the sidelines to repeat these words a hundred times.

As for putting up a billboard or something, the two girls are not that stupid. Most of the tenant farmers and homesteaders are basically illiterate.

These young people are naturally Wang Shouzhe's younger brothers and sisters. With such a big event in the family, Wang Shouzhe didn't want them to be idle. Participating in it together would help train them.

Whether it is the launch of major projects or work-for-relief events, they will help shape their sense of honor for the family and their correct worldview.

"Have you brought your name, place of residence, and household registration documents?" Lian Wang Luoqiu, the master who would "slay gods and buddhas" in the future, was working seriously at this time, registering every applicant.

However, her eyes were sharp and serious, as if she was examining each of the applicants, as if she was determined not to let go of anyone with bad intentions.

"The villain's name is Ouyang Gou Sheng, a villager from Liuzigou Village, Ping'an Town." A young man with a sallow face and thin muscles handed over the household registration document tremblingly.

"Are you only fifteen years old? You can only count yourself as a part-time worker, calculated at 20 kilograms of Chen rice per month." Wang Luoqiu said.

"Ah, girl." Ouyang Goucheng begged with a disappointed look on his face, "Look at me, I am very strong and used to hard work, can I calculate it as half a load? My mother has been without rice for two days. It’s eaten.”

"No, the rules are the rules." Although Wang Luoqiu is young, he is very principled and said, "However, we provide food and accommodation here. I can also give you 20 kilograms of old rice in advance to keep your mother from starving to death."

"Thank you, thank you girl." Ouyang Gou Sheng thanked him repeatedly, tears of joy falling down his face.

"If you take these two bamboo tokens, you can receive 20 kilograms of old grain." Wang Luoqiu gave him two tokens. "Remember, you have to go to work starting from today, and you will receive the grain after work. Also, give me Girl, be brave and do your job well. If you really perform well, I will give you a full credit."

"Yes, a villain must not be lazy." Ouyang Gou Sheng held two bamboo cards, as if he cherished them as if they had taken two lives.

"Take this work badge. There is a porridge shed over there. You can drink porridge for free with your work badge." After Wang Luoqiu registered the work badge, he raised his hand and chased people away with a serious face, "Go, don't delay this lady's work. Next , name, place of origin, age!”

Ouyang Gou Sheng took his work badge and two bamboo badges for receiving rice and left with great gratitude.

Wang Luoqiu's style is very slippery, he never messes around, and he can often finish a job in a few clicks.

"Wang Luojing, what are you doing so hard? Can you use some caution when doing your work?" Wang Luoqiu looked back and was so angry that she had already finished five, but Wang Luojing was still struggling with the second applicant. endlessly.

Unable to stand it any longer, she walked over, took a look at the fair-looking young man, took out his birth certificate and took a look at it: "Scholar?"

"That's right, Xiaosheng." The young man nodded slightly, looking quite proud.

"Can you move around like this?" Wang Luoqiu was suspicious.

"A young man is a scholar, how can he do such hard work?" said the young man. "A young man is well-read in poetry, books and classics. He can be a supervisor. He only needs ten dans of food per month as a remuneration."

These days, the literacy rate among civilians is very low.

Therefore, there is still a bright future for scholars. Government agencies, family foundations, etc. all need some knowledgeable people to serve as the backbone.

"Our family doesn't need a supervisor." Wang Luoqiu responded coldly, "You can leave."

"You, you, you, how dare you look down on scholars, little girl, let me tell you, only by studying can you understand things... You are so young... ah~"

Before the scholar could finish speaking, he flew out and fell to the ground, chewing mud.

"He's even more verbose than Wang Shouzhe." Wang Luoqiu snorted, "Here comes someone."

"Sister, I'm here." Wang Shoulian ran over like a dog.

"Kick this guy away and put him on my Wang family's blacklist, and he will never be hired." Wang Luoqiu ordered with great momentum, and then ran to do the recruitment and registration work.

Looking at her cold and serious face, some applicants who were ready to fish in troubled waters quietly left the team.

Not far away, Wang Shouzhe and others had already walked over.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched slightly. This poor girl Luo Qiu is really full of style. If you don't know this, you would really think that this little aunt is the head of the family.

Liu Yuanrui came next and stared at all this with his mouth open: "Brother Shouzhe, this strong laborer receives half a load of rice every month. Is this salary too little?"

Moreover, that little girl is very fierce and seems to have some opinions on scholars. And he, Liu Yuanrui, claims to be a scholar... It feels a bit dangerous.

"Yuan Rui, if it's a little or a lot, you can ask those who are waiting in line to apply." Wang Shouzhe said.

Liu Yuanrui didn't show any pretense. He went up and asked a few questions, but they all said it was enough. They all thanked Ms. Wang for standing up at the critical moment and giving everyone a bite to eat. Many of them secretly complained about Liu and Zhao.

When Liu Yuanrui came back, his expression was quite ugly: "The Liu family and the Zhao family are indeed upstart families who usurped the throne, but they are so heartless. Fortunately, Brother Shouzhe took action and came up with a work-for-relief method."

"Brother, you didn't quite agree with Brother Shouzhe's idea before." Sister-in-law Liu Ruolei on the side began to add another blow, "Now that the national policy is at the forefront, there are also aristocratic families who are deceiving the superiors and subordinates to take advantage of the lack of food and carry out land annexation strategies. .If food prices were completely liberalized, the lives and deaths of millions of civilians would be entirely in the hands of some top aristocratic families, who have many ways to control the rise and fall of food prices.

"Also, don't dislike Brother Shouzhe for giving him less. Now everyone is short of food. It's amazing that Brother Shouzhe can work for relief."

Liu Yuanrui blushed and glared at Liu Ruolei angrily, "What the hell is this bastard sister doing to destroy your brother's stage when you have nothing to do?" Before you came, didn't you say that you wanted to train your future brother-in-law for your sister?

Before he could scold his sister, he saw Liu Ruolei walking towards Wang Luoqiu.

She quietly came to Wang Luoqiu's side and said curiously: "Little sister, what is your name?"

"Little sister, you..." Wang Luoqiu was about to get angry, but when he saw a beautiful young lady with a good temperament, he immediately restrained himself a little and said impatiently, "I, Wang Luoqiu. Which family are you from? Go there. Go, go and play somewhere else, and don’t disturb this young lady’s efforts for the rise of the family.”

"My name is Liu Ruolei, ah, your handwriting is so ugly." Liu Ruolei covered her mouth and chuckled, "Why don't you ask questions and I'll register. It's faster that way." After saying that, she took the initiative to help.

Wang Luoqiu was so angry that she didn't faint. How dare you say that her handwriting was ugly?

Humph, even Wang Shouzhe, the huge Ping'an Wang family, doesn't dare to...

Then, she saw the calligraphy written by the young lady, uh...it was really beautiful, and she quickly swallowed the words.

Then she thought about it and realized that Liu Ruolei's name seemed so familiar. Immediately, her eyes widened and she said in surprise: "Are you the rumored young lady of the Liu family?"

"Exactly." Liu Ruolei replied with a smile. Unexpectedly, she was quite famous, so she immediately registered the applicants even faster.

"But you look so young. How can you have a baby with Wang Shou, or my fourth brother?"

"Ah?" Liu Ruolei's face turned red with embarrassment and she paused. How is this young lady so young?

No, that's not the point...

The point is, where is this lady young?

Bah, that's not the point...

What's the point?
