y as they do today.They all understand that the courage they have today is because Yang Lin gave them hope!However, thinking of the Liu family's methods, the villagers were still a little worried."Yan...One hundred words for a day!
They wouldn't even dare to imagine this number.
If I could really earn that much, I could afford to eat rice and white noodles once in a while.
During festivals, you can even cut some meat to taste.
"Yang Lin, what craft do you want I'm a mason, will that work" someone asked.
"Alright!"
Yang Lin readily agreed.
The crowd was even more shocked.
Can a mason earn ten cash coins
"Me Me I learned to blacksmith from my father since I was little, and now I can do it myself!"
"OK."
Yang Lin nodded again.
The villagers buzzed with excitement, eagerly asking themselves if they were capable.
However, out of these sixty or seventy people, only five were ultimately chosen.
These five people were overjoyed, but also a little apprehensive. They couldn't figure out what Yang Lin wanted from them by spending so much money.
Even the women don't understand what Yang Lin is trying to do.
"Zhang Ge, you lead ten people up the mountain to cut down trees."
Uncle Li, you take twenty people to mine stones in the back mountain.
"Women and children stayed at the tofu workshop to learn how to make tofu, while the rest followed Uncle Zhao to dig the foundation."
After making arrangements for those people, Yang Lin came to the side of the five.
At this moment, all five people became tense.
"Yang Lin, I only know how to build walls. Perhaps you should give me a little less money With so much, I feel uneasy holding onto it."
The other four also nodded in agreement.
They themselves don't believe they are worth that much money.
Yang Lin said: "Don't worry, everyone. I'm not spending this much money for nothing. This job has one condition: you need to stay in one place for a very long time!"
"
For a period of time, you must remain there and not go home. You must also keep what you are doing secret!
"
What you see and hear there, must not be spoken of.
"Rest assured, the place to work hard is right here in our Lēshān Village. The tasks are not strenuous, and they're even easier than their current jobs."
Yang Lin pointed at the villagers who had been assigned tasks and were leaving.
"I will provide you with all your needs for food, clothing and shelter there. Moreover, before you go, I can advance a month's wages to you so that you have something to leave at home."
After working for three months, the pay doubles to twenty wen a day! At the end of the year, bonuses will be given based on each person's performance.
“Now, if anyone is willing to do this job, come here and collect your pay. After you get the money, go home first, and then I'll take you to the work site.”
"If you don't want to, you can only do other jobs, but the wages will only be the same as everyone else, five cents a day."
Hearing that they could receive advance pay before starting work, and that in three months, they could earn twenty wen per day All five of them were excitedly beaming with joy.
How could I possibly say no to such a good thing
Yang Lin had advanced the pay for five people, and they all hurried home to return the money.
After the five men left, all the women gathered around.
"My husband, what kind of work are you talking about"
"Yes, that much money I really can't understand it. What kind of work is worth that much"
"There aren't that many places to do work, husband. Where do you want to send them"
Li Yuyao, however, thought of something and asked, "Do you remember that day when your cousin came to our village and never saw him again..."
Yang Lin smiled: "You're right, my lady. You are so thoughtful. Everyone wants to know what I asked them for, don't they Come on, let me show you."
Before long, all the villagers who had gone back to deliver money returned.
Yang Lin, accompanied by his curious female companions and the five craftsmen, returned to the village. They arrived at the house Yang Lin had purchased for Du Jing. At that moment, everyone realized that the house Yang Lin had chosen had high walls and a tightly shut gate, completely concealing its interior from view.
Yang Lin knocked gently on the door, and someone came to open it soon.
The door was opened a crack, and Wang Gui's head poked out. Seeing that it was Yang Lin, he then opened the door fully.
Women were somewhat surprised.
How could Wang Gui be here, at my cousin Du Jing's place
And to be sneaking around like this, what on earth is going on here
"Come in."
Yang Lin shouted to the crowd.
"Once you enter this door, for a short period of time, none of you will be able to leave."
Yang Lin reminded.
Five craftsmen did not hesitate; before coming, they had already prepared to go through fire and water.
But now, it's just entering. What's there to be afraid of
As soon as they came in, they saw two familiar faces and a stranger in the yard.
"Wang Gui Zhao Shunzi How did you get here"
Several people were surprised.
But soon they all reacted, Wang Gui was a carpenter and Zhao Shunzi was an ironworker. They were like themselves, skilled craftsmen.
"Great, finally someone's here."
Du Jing walked over, very excited.
"This is my cousin, Du Jing. You all listen to him for your work here," Yang Lin introduced.
Du Jing was eager to get started and called over the five people. He inquired about their strengths and abilities, then immediately arranged them accordingly.
The women are still clueless, with no idea what Yang Lin is doing and why.
Sanjie Liao Hongying, however, was staring at the courtyard, her gaze fixed on a stone stove.
"This... is a furnace for smelting iron It's different from an ordinary blacksmith's forge," Liao Hongying asked.
"You've seen this" Yang Lin was a little surprised.
"Uh..."
Liu Hongying hesitated to speak.
She had seen similar furnaces in her father's military camp when she was a child.
Unlike ordinary blacksmith forges, this one can smelt iron ore into molten iron, directly casting weapons!
Now that Yang Lin asked, she found it hard to explain.
Yang Lin didn't think much of it and nodded: "That's right, this is a smelting furnace. I plan to use it here to improve metalwork."
Metalworking is his initial plan, which can be concealed from outsiders, but there's no need to hide it from his own women.
"Improvement"
All the women were astonished.
Yang Lin nodded. "These past two days, I've been studying this with Jing Ge. Our Great Yan ironware has two major flaws right now."
One is insufficient hardness, the other is difficult to cast, often needing forging to take shape.
And wrought iron, not only time-consuming and laborious, but also unable to be mass-produced, and incapable of producing precision parts.
So what we need to do is improve these two points and make a cast-iron piece in one go!
But women have not yet understood.
"Improved iron tools What use could they possibly be" Liao Hongying asked in bewilderment.
The rest of them all looked puzzled.
Ironware It works well.
They did not feel that Yang Lin's shortcomings were apparent.
"What's the use"
"That's too much!"that Even though Mo Ge is your boyfriend, I love him!""Waaah, senior sister is too cruel! She didn't even give me a chance to prove myself and forcefully broke up the couple!"Han Ruo: "..."The murmurs...
