After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 133 Start of Construction

On the second day, the village chief brought the villagers to Qian Duoduo and prepared to start work.

Everyone followed the village chief happily, talking and laughing along the way. Finally, they arrived at the destination. Qian Duoduo had been waiting for a long time. Seeing everyone coming, she happily greeted them.

"Hello everyone!" Qian Duoduo said.

"Hello, Young Master!" said the village chief. "Young Master, these are the people selected from our village, a total of thirty people."

Qian Duoduo felt very good when he saw everyone’s faces filled with anticipation.

"Well, that's good. But before I start, I want to tell you about our situation here. I believe the village chief has already told you about the treatment and requirements in advance. I only have one request, work hard. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. But if I find any shoddy work, I believe you all know what will happen."

The village chief quickly replied, "Boss, don't worry, these are the people selected by our village, don't worry, there will be no problems."

Qian Duoduo nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Here are the materials we will use today. We have also invited a professional designer to help us compose the design. The house we build may be different from what you usually see, so I hope everyone will pay attention and not make any mistakes. If you have any questions, you can always communicate with me."

"No problem!" Everyone answered loudly. This uniform answer startled Qian Duoduo, and she almost suspected that they were looking for someone in the army. Qian Duoduo nodded and said nothing else.

Then the person in charge will start assigning tasks based on what each person has learned.

The village chief saw that everyone was busy working, and he trotted after Qian Duoduo, "Boss, we've found the cook. Do you think so?"

"Okay, village chief, let them come over and get ready. Chunxia, ​​take them to the kitchen."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

The village chief was startled when he saw a maid with scars on her face coming over. But Chunxia didn't even look at him and left with the three cooks behind the village chief. The three cooks were originally rural women, and they were also startled when they saw Chunxia at first. But seeing Chunxia leave without hesitation, they immediately followed.

"Village chief, I'm afraid these people are not enough. So, please take some time to help me find some more people. It's okay to have too many people, but it's better to find some people who know you well, so that you can save a lot of trouble. Remember, if something goes wrong with one person, I will ask everyone to go back."

The village chief was stunned. He didn't expect that the words he used to scare others yesterday would come true. He was really a jinx.

"Okay, Young Master, I'll go back and ask now."

"Don't worry. Our land lease has not been re-signed yet. Go sign the land lease first. There is no rush to find someone now."

"Ah? OK." The village chief was a little confused. He hadn't discussed this matter with the villagers yet, so why did they sign it directly?

Zhou She stood beside Qian Duoduo, stepped forward and asked the village chief to discuss the land lease.

Land leasing in a villa is a common way of land use. Usually the owners of the villa are nobles, wealthy people or officials. If the original owner of the villa had not had problems, Qian Duoduo would not have been able to get this bargain.

Therefore, after discussing with Qian Yi, they decided to let them choose the lease method themselves. One is a contract lease, where the tenant pays a certain rent to the owner of the villa and obtains the right to use the villa land. During the lease period, the tenant can freely farm, raise or operate the land. Another way is an employment relationship with the owner, where the tenant plants crops according to the owner's requirements and the owner will pay everyone a salary.

The village chief didn't expect that they could choose for themselves. Before, they had to plant according to the employer's requirements, but they had to get 40% of the results. But this time, they were paid.

Zhou She thought the village chief could make the decision and they could sign the contract today. But the village chief said in embarrassment: "Butler Zhou, if it was the previous model, I could sign it directly. But now there is a choice, I have to go back and discuss it with everyone, you see..."

Zhou She naturally did not make things difficult for anyone. After discussing with Qian Yi, he gave them three days to consider.

The village chief was very happy and took the lease agreement Zhou She gave them back to the village. He first explained the matter to the clan leader and asked everyone to discuss it.

"Patriarch, the young master said that he still needs someone, so I'll look for someone else, what do you think?"

"Need more people? Isn't he just building a house? Why does he need so many people?" the patriarch asked puzzledly.

The village chief looked at the people moving all over the mountain. There were not only people working in their village, but also some people from the city, including carpenters, bricklayers, and even blacksmiths. It felt like it was not as simple as building a house.

"I don't think it's just about building a house. I've heard from the young master before that he wants to clean up a section of the entire mountain."

"The whole mountain?" the patriarch said in surprise.

"I heard that's the case. I don't know the details. It should be a big deal. So what kind of contract should we sign with them?"

In fact, the village chief is inclined to pay wages, which is very convenient. The grain they grow every year is also exchanged for money in the end. It is better to leave the grain directly to the owner and keep more money for himself.

But he was afraid that his clan would not agree, so it would be better to ask.

The clan leader did not expect that the young master would actually ask for payment for their wages.

Generally speaking, according to the previous signing, the tenants can obtain the protection and support of the villa owner to avoid being harmed by local tyrants or bandits. At the same time, they can also obtain the villa owner's technical and experience support to improve their own agriculture.

But if you work directly for the owner of the manor, although the wages are good, it seems that in the end, there is nothing but money. If it really happens to be a bad year, food is more important. So the clan leader still prefers the first option.

But he understood from the village chief's expression that he would be more inclined to pay wages, so he couldn't refuse directly.

"Well, let's hold a meeting in the village to decide. Tonight."

The village chief happily agreed, "Okay, I'll go inform everyone." Then he left happily.

The villagers gained some new knowledge today. It was the first time that they were being monitored while working.

This kind of surveillance is not the kind of surveillance by a foreman. It is like that of a soldier. He has a serious expression, does not speak, stands there straight, and does not move. He feels more scary than a foreman.

Everyone was already worried, and they didn't dare to let go. No one dared to whisper to each other, and they all worked diligently and conscientiously.

The three women working in the kitchen were also shocked by the atmosphere in their employer's house.

Although their village was not so poor that they could not afford meat, and they could still eat pork or chicken occasionally, they had never expected to be asked to cook meat for lunch every day.

And they also knew in their hearts that although they told everyone that they were here to help with the cooking, they were actually paid. So they had a new understanding of the generosity of this new owner.

I had some thoughts in my mind, but when I saw the two motionless people standing at the door, I lost all thoughts.

Qian Duoduo borrowed these people from Chu Yan. To prevent them from being bullied by the villagers due to their lack of manpower. Don't underestimate the villagers. Sometimes, their unreasonableness is even more terrifying. So Qian Duoduo should be prepared in advance to avoid any accidents.
