From the gate of heaven

Chapter 51 [Arrangement of work, family return home]

For the rest of the time, Lin Ze was observing the operation of the construction site.

Whether it is a master craftsman or a lot of villagers in Fenglin Village who work as laborers, although they can't say that they work hard, they don't try to be lazy.

While working, while chatting, the mood is very good.

Lin Ze learned from their chats that these villagers are looking forward to the life when the coal mine is completed and they officially come to work in the mine.

Because of such expectations, they don't need to be urged, and they will work hard on their own.

In the middle of the afternoon, the supplies from the city arrived.

Ten women from Heishi Village organized by Zhang Dayu started cooking with their half-grown children.

The rice is steamed in a steamer, the pork belly is stir-fried to get out the fat, and a lot of green vegetables are used to make a stir-fried pork with green vegetables.

In addition, a lot of salt was added with egg flower and green vegetables, and an extra soup was cooked.

At the end of the day's work, Lin Ze began to pay wages to the villagers who participated in the work today.

The wages of the master craftsmen will be settled together after the project is over. Today, although these villagers only worked for half a day, each of them was paid [-] Wen, which means that the wages for a full day of work are [-] Wen.

In addition, everyone received their own meal.

After getting the money, eating delicious food and drinking the salty vegetable and egg drop soup, everyone showed a satisfied expression on their faces.

In Lin Ze's eyes, these extremely simple meals are already a rare taste enjoyment in this society where materials are scarce.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for allowing us to eat such a delicious meal. It's still dark. I can work for another half an hour after I finish eating."

While eating, someone thanked Lin Ze loudly.

"You're right. Master Lin gave us such a good meal. I'm sorry if you don't do more."

The other people around did not secretly scold the person who proposed first, Juangou, but loudly agreed, feeling that they did not do more and were completely sorry for Lin Ze for giving them such a good meal.

This is the most authentic reaction of the migrant workers after they received a salary that far exceeded the average level.

It is roughly equivalent to an ordinary worker in the main world with an ability of only [-] monthly salary. After changing jobs, he found the same job. The new boss not only doubled his salary every month, but also gave him a high meal allowance.

If you don't take the initiative to work overtime, the salary will be hot.

"You don't need to work in the dark. You can go back to rest early after dinner, and come back to work tomorrow morning."

"Sharpening knives does not fail to chop woodworkers."

Lin Ze stopped everyone from thinking of working overtime.

Got another shout of gratitude.

"Elder, I'm sorry to trouble you today, this is my heart."

Lin Ze pulled Village Chief Zhang Dayu to the side, and gave him two silver ingots of one tael behind his back.

"How does this work."

Zhang Dayu subconsciously refused.

In his opinion, everyone can benefit from the construction of the coal mine, and it is right for him to help, there is no need to take extra money.

"Next, I will ask the elders to help me keep an eye on these people. I am busy with business, so I can only come to Fenglin Township every now and then, so I need the elders to help the younger generation to keep an eye on them."

Lin Ze said with a smile.

"Don't worry, there is an old man here, and there will be no problems."

When Zhang Dayu heard that Lin Ze was asking for something, he accepted the money with peace of mind.
-
"The bench, the tiger head, and the two dogs will live in Heishi Village for the next few days to watch the supplies, and also watch these workers not to be lazy. If something happens, send someone into the city to inform me."

"Even if it's at night, it's fine. I'm on good terms with Mr. Liu, the county magistrate, and I just need to report my name to the guarding soldiers, and then I can enter the city."

Lin Ze watched Zhang Dayu's back go away, and was about to leave.

Before leaving, he ordered the three servants to keep an eye on the construction site.

The supplies delivered in the afternoon were enough to feed thousands of people for three days, although the value of these supplies was nothing to Lin Ze.

But it is the key to ensure the operation of the construction site in the future. If something goes wrong, people don't say it, and it delays time.

"Okay, master, the three of us will take turns sleeping tonight, and there will be no problems with the safekeeping."

The three of them hurriedly patted their chests to promise.

"Well, I'll come back in three days, and if there are no mistakes, I will credit you with credit."

"I remember that some brothers and sisters in your family have no errands. When the coal mine is built, let them come to the mine and arrange some easy errands such as cleaning and cooking."

Lin Ze casually drew a cake for the three servants.

"Thank you, master. Even if you risk your life, there will be no mistakes."

The three servants knelt down and kowtowed their thanks loudly.

It's really hard to find a job these days, otherwise I wouldn't call work a 'live'.

The reason why these three servants came out to sell themselves as servants was because the family was too poor to eat. Now Lin Ze wants to arrange jobs for their family members, which are relatively easy, decent and lucrative jobs.

This is the reinvention of Entong, no wonder the three of them are so excited.

On this point, from the envious eyes of the remaining two servants that Lin Ze didn't point out, we can know how attractive the big cake Lin Ze drew is.

"Ah."

Lin Ze nodded, turned around, got into the car and left.

When he came, Lin Ze brought six servants and many craftsmen.

After going back, there were a lot fewer people. Da Zhuang ran back to contact the supplies and stayed in the city. The three servants stayed in the coal mine to watch things.

Right now, only Lin Ze and the two servants are left.

Along the way, the driving stone looked at Lin Ze frequently, hesitating to speak.

Lin Ze could probably guess what they were thinking, and said in a calm tone: "Master, my reward is not given for no reason. If you are loyal and do things well, you will naturally benefit from it when you turn around."

When Shitou and another servant heard the words, they immediately became excited, and spoke loudly like in the opera.

"I will swear allegiance to the master to the death, and I will go through fire and water."

Lin Ze scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's just put on the show, and then you two will call your family over and let me see what I can do."

The carriage stopped, Stone and another servant monkey kowtowed on the spot.

"Thank you, sir, for the reward."

After a while, back on the road.

In the car, Lin Ze restrained his smile, but still maintained a happy mood in his heart.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

Isn't the purpose of opening a coal mine so painstakingly to win over the hearts of these domestic servants and turn them into his confidantes?

I believe that after today, the fact that Lin Ze can arrange work for the family members of these servants will spread among the small circle of the Lin family's servants.

At that time, for the sake of their own interests, these servants will also figure out how to get closer to his master.

After all these servants return to their hearts, Lin Ze will be able to gain a real initial foothold in this different world, and have a group of loyal and available people.
