Chapter 32 Hiring refugees
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she didn't know that Xiao Jing was going to her home to see Xuan Yue. She was busy today!
The twenty thatched huts she built at the foot of the mountain were finally completed today after craftsmen worked day and night, and they were ready to hire people to open up wasteland. She is now taking Xuan Yue to the deserted village in the western suburbs where refugees gather, and is preparing to hire some suitable refugees to help her open up wasteland.
After so much recuperation, Xuan Yue's body had almost recovered. He learned that Yuan Chu Yi was going to a place where refugees gathered today. Although there were people from the yamen following him, he was still worried that she would be surprised by the refugees, so he volunteered. A flower protector.
When I arrived on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I discovered that this place was really a mixed bag, with all kinds of people. There were burly men with beards, strong farmers, beggars in tattered clothes, and young and pitiful children. The piercing eyes they looked at her made her hair stand on end. If it weren't for Master Liu, Feng Sihai and Xuan Yue accompanying her, she would definitely turn around and leave alone.
"Master Liu..."
The refugees gathered around and asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Liu's visit this time?"
Master Liu pointed to Yuan Chuyi next to him, "That's it. This lady's family has 300 acres of land and needs thirty or forty hired workers. Which of you is willing to go with her? The Chinese New Year is in two or three days. If you are willing to go, you can have a good New Year!"
"I am willing!"
"My whole family is willing to go!"
“Our family would also like to go!”
Many people gathered around and rushed to sign up. Everyone wanted to have a good year for themselves and their families.
Seeing everyone gathered around her, Xuan Yue was afraid that they would bump into Yuan Chuyi, so she hurriedly protected her behind her and shouted loudly to those people, "Be quiet, line up, and come one by one to introduce yourself to Mrs. Yuan!"
Looking at Xuan Yue's powerful appearance, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that he is a hidden practitioner. Under his shock, everyone quickly calmed down and lined up consciously.
Seeing that the crowd was in good order, Xuan Yue stepped aside and let Yuan Chu Yi face everyone. Yuan Chuyi looked at Xuan Yue gratefully, "Thank you!"
With such a person around, she really felt at ease. She looked at the long queue in front of her, cleared her throat and said loudly:
"I will tell you my conditions first. If you are still willing to go after hearing this, you can stay. If you are not willing, you can leave first!"
"Master, if you have any conditions, just tell us, we can accept them!" Everyone said one after another.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she considered that the Chinese New Year would be celebrated in two days. As long as she was employed, she could bring these people to the village today. Not only would she provide them with thatched houses to live in, but they would also have pots and bowls prepared in the houses. , and also provide each employee with twenty kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of noodles. They can move in with their own luggage and bedding. They can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind before officially starting work on the sixth day of the new year.
It's just that their first month's wages will be less, one tael of silver for women and one tael of fifty cents for men. But there will be a salary increase in the second month, one to two to five hundred cents per month for women and two taels for men, but rice and flour will no longer be distributed, and huts will not be provided for free to everyone. The monthly rent is two hundred and fifty cents. If you don't want to live there, you can find a place to live by yourself.
In addition, she also made it clear to everyone that the relationship between them was an employment relationship, and they had signed a one-year employment period. During this period, if she felt that the employee was slacking off, she could fire them at any time.
After a year, if everyone is still willing to work with her, they can renew the contract. If they no longer want to work with her, they just need to inform her one month in advance, and she will find someone to replace her. She has found a replacement and resigned. If she can't find someone, she can leave as long as she resigns and works for a month!
When these refugees heard such conditions, they all thought it was fair. No one had any objections and no one left. Director Liu was also very satisfied with the employment conditions. He immediately helped them draw up an employment contract and planned to help them sign the contract later.
After careful interviews and observations, Yuan Chuyi finally hired fifteen healthy and strong farming couples, which made it easier for her to manage. Moreover, these people were raising families. By hiring them, she could help the government resettle fifteen families and sixty or seventy refugees in one go.
When Master Liu saw that he could resettle nearly half of the refugees in the deserted village before the year, he was beaming with joy. Mr. He had one more achievement this year, and he had one more contribution! He felt that buying land and hiring laborers on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty really achieved multiple things with one stone and benefited the country and the people.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she didn't know that she had become a good person in the eyes of Master Liu. Under the witness of Master Liu, she signed an employment contract with the employees. The contract was made in triplicate, one for her and one for the employees. The Yamen will keep a copy in case there is any dispute in the future and the Yamen will have the evidence to check.
After everything was settled, on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the employees were asked to pack their things, take their families with them, and immediately go back to Xishan Village with her.
"Madam! Madam!"
When he was about to leave on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, an eager young woman's voice came. She turned around and saw a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old running towards her in a hurry. Her clothes were ragged and her face was pale.
"What's the matter, girl?" Yuan Chuyi looked at the girl and saw that her face was pale and her breath was weak. He concluded at a glance that she had suffered internal injuries.
The girl knelt down in front of Yuan Chuyi and said, "My name is Yun Duo. Please save my sister. She is seriously injured. If she doesn't get medical treatment, she won't survive!"
"Take me to see it!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, without saying a word, Yun Duo led her to a broken house and saw a beautiful woman lying dying in a pile of straw. She stepped forward to check her pulse and diagnosed that the girl had indeed suffered serious injuries, not only internal injuries but also external injuries.
From Yun Duo's mouth, I learned that the two sisters came from a martial arts family, but their parents died young and they lived in the world very early. They have been making a living by taking on some tasks in the world. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the month, they were intercepted by thieves while walking and were severely injured.
"Your sister is seriously injured and needs urgent treatment. Why don't you go back with me first and heal her injuries!"
"Thank you, madam!" Yun Duo knelt on the ground gratefully and kowtowed to Yuan Chuyi.
Yuan Chuyi's belly was already very pregnant. She bent down and helped Yun Duo up with some difficulty. "There is no need to be so generous. Take your sister and come with us!"
Everyone helped carry the girl onto the oxcart on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, and took out a quilt to cover her carefully. The group finally headed to Xishan Village in a mighty manner. When I returned to the city and Xishan Village, I didn't forget to go to Xinglin Hall to get medicine for the Yun sisters on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. By the time the group of them returned to Xishan Village, it was already time for you.
The village chief knew that Yuan Chuyi had gone to hire people today. He had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time. He was shocked when he saw so many people in their group. He and Yuan Chuyi hurriedly led these people to the house she had just built. Settled in the hut.
