Chapter 222 Scared Aunt Zhang
Moreover, even if it is ten pennies, some people are probably not willing to part with it. The rural people have no other source of income except farming, and every copper coin wants to be broken into two halves. In this situation, many people will definitely not be happy. Give the ten coins, besides, there is the cost of bricks.

He reckoned that some people would rather give some grain than copper coins.

However, based on the price of ten cents a piece, if each family can build a hundred fire pits in this winter, they can earn a thousand copper plates, which is one tael of silver.

In the long run, if we continue to do it next year, it will be calculated on the basis of [-] kangs, which means [-] copper plates. Of course, there will be fluctuations in the price, but the fluctuations will not be too large. That is to earn two or three thousand copper coins.

This figure is a huge sum of money for the peasant family, and now Wang Tiancai and Aunt Zhang's family missed this money, so they have to make up for it.

Three hundred coins for adults, half for children, Wang Tiancai's family can get 250 copper coins, and Aunt Zhang's family can get [-] copper coins, which is about the same as what they earn when they go out to make kangs for others.

As for the few strong labor helpers, some of their families went out to build kangs for others, and the three hundred wen was not a loss.

Besides, there is also the daily salary, five copper coins a day, which is very considerable in the long run.

However, the numbers involved were a bit large. The people present turned their minds and calculated several times. After confirming that the calculation was correct, their expressions immediately changed. Wang Tiancai immediately said, "How embarrassing this is!"

"The wages given on weekdays are a lot, so how can I ask for any rewards."

"That's right, it's too much." Aunt Zhang looked helpless on her simple and honest face. Now she can earn 150 copper coins a month by herself. For a widow like her, this is a good thing that she could never dream of.

She has no man, and there are two old people and two children, and she rents and plants Yunmo's field. Before that, she worked so hard all year round just to keep the whole family from starving. Now that she has such a salary, she has to spend Thank Gu Miao countless times in my heart, and pray that this job can continue.

But now Gu Miao actually wants to pay two more months' wages?
Two months' wages!

Was it a dream that she wanted to pinch herself? She didn't dare to take such a big pie from the sky, and she felt uneasy. Could it be that Gu Miao wanted to kick someone out?
This is very possible!

After the new year, there will be all kinds of farm work in the field, such as weeding, fertilization and irrigation, etc., and people can't do without people every day. Now her whole family is working at Yunmo's house, and Yunmo's [-] acres of land are No one grows anymore.

Does Gu Miao want her family to farm the land honestly?

She likes farming very much, and she likes the joy of harvesting food, but her family has no strong laborers, and only relying on farming can only keep her family from starving to death. The money for her son's marriage and the dowry for her daughter , You can’t earn money just by farming!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Aunt Zhang suddenly lost her appetite. She looked at Gu Miao, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was going to cry or not, and asked with a choked voice, "Xiao Miao, what are you... Do you want me to go back to farming?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Miao was shocked, and seeing Aunt Zhang's appearance of crying at any time, she was even more shocked, and hurriedly put down the chopsticks in her hand, "Aunt Zhang, where do you start with this?"

"You... You pay so much wages for no reason, don't you want me to go back to farming?" Aunt Zhang asked.
