Chapter 58: Zhuangzi's Journey (2)

"The eldest lady is here!" Wang Fu and his wife came soon. After entering the door, they drank Li Xin and said hello.

"Sit down! My two brothers haven't been here yet. While they have a rest today, I will take them over to take a look."

"The two gentlemen are here too! Why haven't you seen me?" Yang asked with a smile on her face. She was slightly chubby, looked festive, spoke eloquently, and was very likable to get along with.

After getting married, Li Xin still had a very good impression of Yang. Yang was very enthusiastic, not just for her, but also for other servants in Zhuangzi. The enthusiasm was just right, not too warm.

It makes people feel too much. Some people are too enthusiastic, which makes people uncomfortable. Yang did it just right. The popularity in Zhuangzi is very good. The other servants are friendly and affectionate towards Yang.

With some respect.

"I let them play in the garden behind, and we'll see you soon. I'll take them here to have lunch before leaving, and I'll ask Sister-in-law Wang to help with the cleaning. It doesn't have to be nice, we'll eat whatever everyone eats.

Whatever will do."

"Young lady, this is too polite. Isn't this what you should do? However, the rough food in this village may not be used to the young lady."

"What's the matter? When times were bad in the past, we lived a hungry and full life, but it's better now. If everyone can eat, we can also eat."

"Then I'll go take care of it now, and let the young master taste the food in our village." After speaking, Yang stood up and saw that Li Xin had no other instructions, so he went out first.

"By the way, I haven't asked Brother Wang about the things in the fields yet! How are the corn crops doing?" After Yang walked out, Li Xin asked Wang Fu. Wang Fu was in charge of things in the fields.

This is convenient for understanding more than Yang's.

"It's almost done. More than 100 acres of brassicas have been planted, and about 200 acres of peas have been sown. There are a few brassicas seeds this year. If Miss also plants a lot, she doesn't have to wait long. The brassicas will grow.

Come on, usually the seeds will be old in two or three months, and then there will be a lot of seeds."

"That's good, let's plant last season first and see! If the harvest is good, we will plant more next year. I just came to see how the planting is going. Since I have almost planted it, I feel relieved. I'm done.

Finally, I want everyone to have a good rest, as we will be busy again after spring begins."

"Don't worry, Miss. The people in this village have been cultivating fields for many years, and they are pretty good at it. Farming is no problem. The fields are also very good, and I think the rugs will be good. As for letting them rest.

, as long as the work in the fields is finished, they will be allowed to rest."

"I still don't know how Boss Zheng gave everyone money before. Did he give everyone some clothes for the four seasons on weekdays?" Speaking of which, Li Xin really didn't know what kind of treatment should be given to these people! She also said that before

She forgot about this matter and didn't ask Zheng Xing. Although these people would be her slaves from now on, even if she didn't give them money, it wouldn't be a big deal. But she didn't want to show off her skin, so she still had to give these people money.

Silver, in this case, they can also buy some things they like. Food and accommodation are included in Zhuangzi, but everyone will have something they want to buy! They should still have some cash on hand.

"In the past, people didn't pay according to the monthly silver salary. At the end of the year, they usually gave red envelopes. For children, it was one tael of silver, for older people, it was three taels for those who could help with some work. For adults,

Ten taels for men and eight taels for women. Then each person is given two sets of clothes per season."

"That's it!" In fact, the treatment given by Zheng Xing is quite good. Even the children who can't work are given money and have clothes for all seasons. Food and accommodation are included in the village, and many daily necessities are also provided by the owner.

Yes, they don't spend much money on weekdays. After all, each family's annual income is still very large, and they can live comfortably. It seems that Zheng Xing and his wife treat their servants very well.

"My master used to treat people in Zhuangzi very favorably."

"It's true, Boss Zheng is really a good person. Let's do this! Let me change this treatment for everyone, change it to monthly silver! It will be paid every month, so it will be more convenient if you need to use money. You can't do work.

For children, it’s two hundred yuan a month, for half-year-olds, it’s five hundred yuan. For adults, it’s one tael and five hundred yuan for men, and one tael and one tael for women. For clothes, it’s still eight yuan a year for small children and half-year-olds.

If you are an adult, you are always in the fields, and the clothes will wear out quickly, so everyone is given an extra pair every season. It is time to start making winter clothes, so make more to keep them warm, so that no one will get cold."

"The eldest lady is really kind-hearted."

"Don't praise me anymore. Don't think the work I gave you is too tiring. I don't plan to grow wheat. I'm afraid other crops will be more troublesome than managing wheat."

"It's nothing. It's just planting some fields, so it won't make you tired."

"Then let's do this first. Let's see if the villagers are busy. If they are really too busy, ask some people to help. You and Sister-in-law Wang will give you the wages. If the money I gave you is not enough,

Just say it and I will send it again. By the way, you should also take a look at it on weekdays. If there are people who do particularly well, remember them. Zhuangzi selects them every six months, and everyone selects the top three who do the best.

I have another reward."

"Once the eldest lady says this, I'm afraid everyone will be scrambling for work."

"That's what I want. Let everyone work hard. The harvest in Zhuangzi is good, and I won't treat you badly. I think there are many children in Zhuangzi. If they can't work, why not send them to the academy! Learn some words

That's good, he can also help with accounting in the future. If he learns well in the future, I will let him get out of slavery and take the imperial examination."

"Don't worry, miss. I will definitely pass this on. If anyone is willing, then send it to me."

"Okay, let's arrange it like this. Let's find someone to make winter clothes as soon as possible! If the women in the village are willing to make their own clothes, then give them an extra 20% on the fabric. The weather is getting colder, too.

Buy more charcoal, don't be reluctant to use it when it gets cold, and give enough to everyone. If you are going to the fields, buy some mutton and mutton bones to boil a few pots of soup, and give everyone some to drink to warm themselves up.

"

After giving the instructions, Li Xin saw that nothing was missing, so he asked Wang Fu to go down first. Now that he had a lot of money in his hand, Li Xin thought about making the people in Zhuangzi live a better life. She

If she treats these people well, they will work well for her. She can't always watch Zhuangzi, so naturally she still needs help from these people.
