If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, there were figures wandering around the newly built house outside Tian's mansion.

Brother Nan followed Xia Chen with the plaque in his arms. When he first saw the dark figure, he wanted to touch the knife.The villager who was squatting on the side stood up, bowed slightly and said hello to Xia Chen and his party with a flattering face, and looked behind Xia Chen uncontrollably, the Xia family who followed, and the needle girl Liu Jiao who came to help , all holding things in their hands.

"Why didn't you go to work in the field?" Dong Ge'er was holding a bucket of rice. He had more contacts with the villagers and spoke more casually.

It was a short and thin man who spoke, and he said with a silly smile, "It's not that Master Chen said yesterday that he has a job for us, I'll see if there is anything I can do."

This guy's name is Tian Dazhuang, he is not as good as his name, he was not tall enough when he was young, and his strength is not as good as other people of the same age, but his mind is somewhat flexible.As soon as he heard that Xia Chen had a task to take yesterday, he immediately thought about it. His family has more children and less income, so he has to seize this opportunity as soon as possible, so he came here early, thinking of choosing something he can do.

While talking, Tian Dazhuang didn't stop, and quickly helped Xia Chen and the others. He didn't dare to touch the goods, so he helped with the things and held the plaque.

Xia Chen glanced at him in surprise, thinking that this man was quite clever, so he opened the door without rejecting him.The newly built house is also a stone house, not too big, only about ten square meters.

A tall wooden table was placed near the door. This was moved out of the Tian family's old house, and it was useless to pile up in the warehouse. Xia Chen saw that the wood was good and strong, so he asked him to take it out for use.

There are several rows of wooden shelves placed against the wall, which were built by the carpenter in the village. This thing does not require too complicated craftsmanship, and it is very simple to make.

Brother Nan stepped on the stool to hang the plaque, and the others put the goods they brought on the wooden shelves. At present, there are not many kinds of goods that Xia Chen brought out, so the shelves are not full, and they look a bit empty. .

But for others, it is already very good. Tian Dazhuang looked at the large barrels of white rice flour piled up on the ground, all of which were high-quality polished rice noodles, as well as the whole jar of salt, and the whole pile of strong and beautiful cloth, piled up full of up jars of sugar cubes.Just these things already made Tian Dazhuang dizzy and heartbroken, let alone other rare things that he had never seen before.

Tian Dazhuang didn't dare to intervene in the matter of loading goods, so he simply cleaned the house, swept the door back and forth several times, and was anxious while cleaning, hoping that Xia Chen would release the task soon.

A group of people worked together and quickly placed all the goods. At this moment, other villagers who got up early and were nearby heard the movement and came to check. Xia Chen saw the anxiety in Tian Dazhuang's eyes and called him to the counter. Come.

Tian Dazhuang hurriedly stood over, and Xia Chen opened a booklet with some grids drawn on it that he couldn't understand and words written on it.

Xia Chen asked, "Are you literate?"

Tian Dazhuang shook his head in embarrassment. It is rare for people who can read and write in the village, but it is normal for them to be illiterate.

Xia Chen spread out the booklet and pointed to the contents on it to explain one by one, "At present, the tasks we assign include guard patrols, quarrying, stone transportation, road construction, city wall construction, logging, cleaning and other tasks. Each task has Respective task requirements, such as quarrying and transporting rocks, require a large and strong body. Building walls and roads requires relevant work experience. If it is really impossible to recruit, the requirements will be reduced."

Tian Dazhuang pricked up his ears after listening, and thought about it, he would definitely not be able to do guards and patrols, but he would like to go for quarrying and transporting stones, which may not meet the requirements. Cleaning sounds very simple, but Tian Dazhuang knows that there is no pie in the world Good thing, simple jobs definitely have their downsides.

After careful consideration, he chose the one he thought was the most suitable. "I used to work in the county to repair roads, and I want to do road repairs."

Xia Chen nodded, took a pen on the counter and wrote it down for him, and then touched a rectangular bamboo sign drawn with red paint and gave it to him, "Hold this, and after the assignment is over, someone will lead you there." Work, after finishing the work today, come here again and exchange this sign for money. You can get fifteen white coins and pay them out on the same day if you don’t slack off after a full day of work on the road you choose.”

Fifteen would be able to buy salt after working for a day. Tian Dazhuang was overjoyed. The young master of the Xia family is indeed a kind person. As long as he is willing to work, maybe he can let his wife and children eat refined rice in the future.For a while, Tian Dazhuang was full of fighting spirit and wished he could go to work now.

Tian Dazhuang had just finished his task, and the outside was already bustling. The villagers gathered at the door of the shop, pointing and pointing, but no one dared to come in.

"What is written on this plaque"

"How do I know, I can't read."

Brother Nan pursed his lips and didn't answer, but he could read. Whoever told his uncle to be lazy, there were only two words on the plaque, "Shop." He didn't even have to brag if he wanted to.

Xia Chen didn't think it mattered at all, he was not good at picking names, and he didn't plan to open a branch in the future, even if another store started selling things, his official store would definitely be the most famous.

"Come in, everyone can come in and take a look." Dong Geer stood at the door and called the villagers to come in. Only seeing the goods will stimulate the desire to buy.

The villagers immediately swarmed in, yelling at the products inside, and Dong Geer and Nan Geer stared closely. they take.

Originally, Xia Chen was going to make a menu, but after thinking about it, he had to let them see the real thing, so that they would be motivated to work hard to buy things.

"This rice is really good."

"No, the flour is also finely ground, so it looks like good flour."

"This is candy, how much money does it cost for such a big jar."

"What kind of silver is that, that white coin."

"Oh yes, Master Xia, how are these things sold?"

"Come on, tell them." Xia Chen stepped aside and let his mother and sister-in-law sit behind the counter. Occasionally, when his mother and sister-in-law talked about Mrs. Meng's admiration, Xia Chen realized that it was wrong to let them stay at home all the time. No, just find something for them to do, realize the value of life, and cultivate their self-confidence.

Originally, these two people refused to agree to life and death, and felt that they could not do it, so Xia Chen coaxed them to say that the products here are all his family wealth that he has saved for a long time, and he is not at ease if he sells them to others.

As soon as his mother and sister-in-law heard it, they took it without saying a word. Considering their safety, Xia Chen asked Zhenniang and Liu Jiao to stay here if they had nothing to do.Zhen Niang is now fully capable of multitasking, she can do other things while chatting with people while doing needlework with supernatural powers.

Although Xia Chen had told them many times at home and had memorized the price list by heart, at this moment, seeing the villagers asking questions, he couldn't help but start to feel timid.

"Mother, sister-in-law, don't be afraid. We are selling things, not buying them. I'm still here." Xia Chen comforted.

Qiao Niang wasn't very shy at first, so she secretly cheered herself up. According to Xia Chen's teaching, she loudly reported the prices of common commodities: "Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, five white coins a catty, high-quality polished rice flour, three dollars a catty." Ten white coins a catty, salt is five white coins a tael, sugar"

The shop was quiet and quiet. All the villagers listened carefully to what Qiaoniang had said, and memorized it. If they didn’t remember it, they immediately asked other people. Then came to ask about the task in a hurry.

Xia Chen had already divided the work, and handed over the record book to Meng Mingjun. He had been a supervisor before, so he also handed it over to him this time.

Meng Mingjun took a piece of paper and pasted it on the wall outside the shop, on which were written various types of work and the remuneration they could get, but the villagers couldn't understand, so he repeated what Xia Chen told Tian Dazhuang.

Tian Dazhuang also mingled with the crowd and listened carefully, and sure enough, the rewards vary according to different tasks.For such activities as quarrying and transporting stones, quarrying stones is tiring and dangerous. There are twenty white coins, and stone transporting is eighteen white coins.

The construction of the city wall has to wait for the stones to arrive before starting to work. If you don’t recruit today, you will recruit tomorrow. The rewards vary according to their abilities. Experienced and skilled workers are paid [-] to [-] white coins.

All men in the village can do logging, which is easier than mining stones, and only twelve white coins a day.

The lowest is the cleaning task, ten white coins a day, to clean the sanitation of the whole village, fill the pits and puddles with soil, pile up animal manure, sweep litter and leaves together.

These tasks are all trivial tasks that don't require too much physical strength and can be done with a little effort. Xia Chen specially set them up for the widows, old and weak in the village.

Among all the missions, the patrol mission of the escort team received the highest reward, with [-] white coins a day.

With such a high salary, more than one person is tempted. The three young people who chose to go to training earlier and then joined the guard team naturally were almost set on by the envious and jealous eyes of other villagers.

Their family members couldn't believe it at first, and then they were ecstatic. The children used to go to some kind of training, and they came back exhausted all day long, with injuries on their bodies. They didn't do any work at home, and they ate too much. , Parents drove them out a long time ago.

Oh, there is really a young man who was kicked out of the house. His parents died and he lived with his brother and sister-in-law. This time, he was caught and kicked out directly. I can't go on anymore.

Brother and sister-in-law were still watching his jokes yesterday, but today the smile froze on his face. Thirty white coins can buy a catty of rice, and six catties of coarse grains. , Brother and sister-in-law's intestines are almost green.

Immediately, someone clamored to join the guard, and Wen Shu, who is currently in charge of the guard, sneered. Although he was begged by Yuan Bao from his family to take up such a job, it wasn't that any cat or dog could be his subordinate.

Without him opening his mouth, Zhe Liu stood up and refused. The guard team will not be expanded for the time being. He left a little room, saying that in the future, when the guard team recruits new recruits, they will conduct open selection and let everyone go back and practice more.

As soon as they said no more, most people sighed, put this idea behind their heads, and went to take other tasks one after another.Brother Dong knew everyone well, and he assisted Meng Mingjun on the sidelines. The selected person would be issued a sign, and each sign had a figure representing a different type of work.

When the villagers choose tasks, most of them want high rewards, but they can't meet the task standards, so they can only postpone it. Seeing a man who is about the same level as himself, being squeezed into logging, Tian Dazhuang clenched the bamboo card in his hand, thankfully Come early enough yourself.
