Chapter 965 Everything Is Different and the Same

"Hurry up. If you dare to be lazy and go back, you will be sentenced severely. You will be exiled for three thousand miles."

"Just wait and see, you want to get eighty canes."

"Last warning, if you don't have enough lunch money to clean up the street, you will only be here for three years."

While Li Longji was soaking in the swimming pool to recuperate, a group of people in overalls were working hard.

They were the ones who were caught yesterday, bullying others into doing work, and today they are doing more and calling for community service.

The waistcoat made of sacks is worn on the body, which abrades the skin, causing oxygen and pain.

The character "Lao" is written in paint on the chest and back to prove his identity.

The people who were scared before stood aside and watched the fun, and were no longer afraid.

If you have the skills, you have been working for a while, and if you come to bully me again, I will arrest you at the customs declaration.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and take care of your own family affairs. You have to pay rent for the house. The first month is waived. From now on, you will get paid every month."

When the Yamen servant saw that there were too many people and it was too chaotic, he shouted to the onlookers.

After a while, everyone dispersed and each found something to do.

When they first arrived in Jingzhao Mansion, they had nothing, so the court provided them with a month's rent-free house.

Lijiazhuangzi provided loans to buy clothes and furniture, tools, and rations.

The rest needs to be figured out by themselves, and there is a lot of work.

Picking tea leaves that already look older, wormwood from the mountains on the roadside, doing work at the dock, helping with transportation on the water network, weeding in other people's fields...

Those with weak legs and feet can sit in front of their homes and do bamboo work. Those who don't know how to handle bamboo will be taught.

As long as you are willing to work, you are guaranteed to have a job.

At present, the workers earn their daily wages and use them to buy some meat.

However, everyone does not spend any extra money, save the money, and wait until next month to slowly start changing loans and paying rent.

The new arrivals have hope in their eyes. With their household registration, they don't have to pay land rent.

People with skills and ingenuity can find better jobs and join the Labor Union and the Clothing Union.

It is compulsory for all children under the age of ten to attend school, regardless of gender.

Children aged ten years and up are required to go to school voluntarily. If not, they will help their families with work.

At noon, a young couple came to the open space at the head of Baqiao, each carrying a small mountain of mugwort.

The two put down the mugwort, and the people from Lijiazhuangzi immediately came forward to check.

Lijiazhuang wants all kinds of mugwort, mugwort has the highest price, and other mugworts cost the same.

In fact, Artemisia annua should be the most expensive and can be used to make malaria pills.

Li Yi didn't dare to give a price, otherwise others would guess it immediately.

Under normal circumstances, Artemisia farmers with a larger proportion of Artemisia annua will pay more and say, "It's not easy, it's about the same price."

The couple had been out since yesterday afternoon, went up the mountain, and picked a batch of mugwort seeds before dark.

At night, they spent the night wrapped in sacks and snuggled together. There was a six-year-old girl and a four-year-old boy at home.

The girl went to school and after school, she was responsible for taking care of her younger brother, and the safety measures were handed over to the patrolling government officials.

At dawn in the morning, the two of them ate two slices of black bread by the stream and cut wormwood again.

It was noon when they arrived at Lijiazhuangzi, and they were so tired that they had no strength left.

The large bundle of mugwort weighed more than a hundred kilograms. When walking, the waist was lowered and almost parallel to the ground.

"This wormwood seed is good, one hundred and sixty yuan." After inspecting it, the dealer gave the price.

If the other party agrees, just hand over the money. If they don't agree, you can handle it yourself.

The couple nodded together with a look of joy on their faces.

One hundred and sixty dollars for a whole day, which is more than others working for three or four days.

"Dad, is this good?" The woman smoothed her hair around her temples with her freshly washed hands and said with bright eyes.

"It's good, but it's a pain for you. Being with me means you can't live a good life for a day. If it weren't for...hey!"

The man couldn't talk anymore, but his wife could do it.

But there was an old man and an older brother at home. The older brother got into gambling and lost money again and again. The wife ran away with the child.

In the end, the family fortune was lost and his parents were furious. Then the eldest brother owed gambling debts and disappeared to nowhere.

His family of four rented their own land to work, and debt collectors came to their door every day.

There was no other way, so the two ran away with their children, and there was nothing left anyway.

I received news that Jingzhao Mansion can be naturalized at will, and as long as you are willing to work, you will have a way to survive.

He took his children and arrived at Jingzhao Mansion with others, and some people went to various counties.

The woman was smart and said that the best place to find a job was in Chang'an.

They persisted until Chang'an, where they were given housing and their children sent to school.

The next day, the woman came up with a way to go to the mountain first, stay overnight, and come back during the day, so that she could harvest a lot of mugwort seeds at one time.

Women do the same work as men and never complain.

"His father, things will be better in the future. No one will come to press for debts. When we eat, I will serve the soup." The woman didn't care at all.

"I'll go, you sit down." The man pressed his wife down, ran to get two bowls of soup, took out slices of black bread, and ate the soup with it.

"Dad, I can't go to the mountains this year. What should I do if my child is exhausted? In the afternoon, he will help transport coal slurry and go home to make bricks. If you have skills, you can make our kang mat first..."

The woman arranged the next work, she was in high spirits and did not seem to feel tired.

Zhuangzi, who was collecting mugwort, heard the woman's words and interjected: "If you are willing to break out ten pieces of coal and give eight to Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi will provide coal slime."

The woman rolled her eyes and nodded: "Okay, it saves me the time of carrying coal. It's a good deal for my family. Li Dongzhu Renyi."

She was even happier now. She didn't have a car, so she could only help others push carts, walk a long way, and come back at night to make coal blocks in the dark.

Now she saved time. She could give out eight out of ten coal blocks, which was more than the coal blocks she could get by carrying coal herself.

Two people went to help, and it was good if they could make forty coal blocks.

She believed that she could make four hundred coal blocks in an afternoon, and keep eighty.

The men in the family directly made mats, saving a lot of time.

After dinner, Lijiazhuangzi borrowed a cart from them, and the two of them pushed it back.

Other newcomers relied on their abilities. Some were smart and made money quickly.

Some only knew how to learn from others, and it was best to be led by others.

Everyone chose different jobs and had different efficiencies, but they all had hope for the future.

No rent, no extra pressure; no need to worry about people making trouble, the security in Jingzhao Prefecture was good.

Even if you are sick, you can find someone to see a doctor for free. If you need medicine, you can ask Lijiazhuangzi for cheap medicine.

Maybe one day, you will have to pay for medical treatment. Lijiazhuangzi will not give medicine anymore. I believe I have saved enough money.

I used to think about such a day, but I dare not think too much.

…

"Brother Yi, you always treat others for free. After a long time, doctors also need to eat."

Li Longji drifted for an hour and a half and felt much better. At noon, he ate a light meal and mentioned the free medical care.

"Now they are paying tuition. I copy medical books and sell them for money, and then use the money to let them treat people. The process is the same and troublesome. There will be ways in the future, just one or two years."

Li Yi is not worried about this and has the means.
