Chapter 177 A big official comes
There is a probation period of three months, the salary is only 300 yuan, and there is a lot of work to do.
After three months, whether coolies will be needed remains to be seen.
Don't think she doesn't know that the men in Wangxi Village are all more eloquent than the aunt at the entrance of the village.
It’s not easy to say an apology, it’s moral kidnapping when you open your mouth.
Lin Jinyue had a terrible impression and didn't want to use people from their village at all.
But it doesn’t work.
The reputation of Wangxi Village is not very good, and the village chief and the villagers are determined to retaliate.
Lin Jinyue has a lot of things going on right now and doesn't want to cause trouble.
Just in time, Chen Mazi offered them a trial at a low price. If they did this for three months, even if an ordinary person hired someone to help with the coolie work and go to the dock to carry things, it would only cost 400 yuan a month.
Not to mention that she works longer hours here than others.
It's a good deal.
Lin Jinyue said: "If you are willing to try it out, come here. If you don't want to, forget it."
Wang Ergou said hurriedly: "I also brought a few people here, how about trying it out together? Even though they are young, they are still very powerful."
This is a smooth climb.
Chen Mazi saw his little plan and said, "Don't push yourself too far. Otherwise, these five places will be gone."
Lin Jinyue: "No food, no wages, probation period is three months, come as you like."
Wang Ergou gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
Lin Jinyue just tried to test it, and it turned out that they really had a plan.
Although she didn't think about what they were planning for a while.
However, she has already offered to get five taels of silver if she finds something is wrong with anyone, as long as it is useful.
Someone is keeping an eye on them, and they are not afraid of them messing around, and they can still use labor force for free.
Moreover, they still have a big pie hanging in front of them, and after the probation period, they will get one tael of silver per month.
These people can also settle down for a while.
But after Wang Ergou and the others followed to build a wooden house, Chen Mazi quickly pulled Lin Jinyue aside.
Chen Mazi talked about his speculation: "I suspect that those young people want to come to our village to find good girls and make soft food for them!"
Lin Jinyue's eyes widened.
Good guy, this calculation is too loud.
But Lin Jinyue's expression was a little hard to explain.
No wonder she didn't think that way, the main reason was that those few people looked average, but they were more pleasing to the eye than those crooked melons and cracked jujubes in Wangxi Village.
Let's talk about using these people for a beauty trap...
Lin Jinyue only felt that they were out of their minds.
Lin Jinyue: "Just tell me whether it's a good deal or not."
Chen Mazi:......
It was indeed a good deal. Those in Wangxi Village were very happy and felt that they had gotten a big deal.
However, the wishful thinking of the Wangxi Village group was ruined.
In the past few days, Lin Jinyue was so busy that she sent a batch of supplies to Gu Shao and then started to dive into the study.
In the past few days, she had read through all the history books, chemistry books, weapons introduction books, and various related videos, just to come up with a powerful weapon.
The city wall is also being worked on. Some small mechanisms inside the city wall and small designs that can prevent others from attacking also need to be discussed between her and Blacksmith Li.
In addition to these, Lin Jinyue also had to find ways to make money.
Money is needed for construction everywhere in the village. Her family made a lot of money selling colored glaze pens and blind box pens. The wealthy households in the village were greedy for life and feared death, so they also donated a lot.
As for the military supplies from Gu Shao...
Lin Jinyue didn't dare to sell too much. First, she was worried that Gu Shao and the others would have weapons and discover the secrets of their village and come back to encircle and suppress them.
Although the possibility was very low, Lin Jinyue had to guard against it.
Second, their village's own armament also needs to be improved. Li Tiejiang and Wang Carpenter have to think of ways to do all the whimsical ideas that Lin Jinyue thinks of.
We really can’t spare so many people to do it.
Now she didn't have enough money on hand, but she felt that the village account had been receiving a lot less money recently, and she had to think of ways to subsidize various buildings in the village, which made her a little worried.
Now every city has begun to be heavily guarded, and people are being checked in and out of the city. There are still people patrolling the streets every day.
Everyone was panic-stricken and frantically grabbed food, making it difficult to do other business.
At least Lin Jinyue's father hasn't received an order for a birthday banquet for a month.
In the past, people from Shawan County came to the restaurant in their village, but in the past half month, there were basically no new faces.
Lin Jinyue sat on the beach to relax.
I just feel that the current situation in Lingnan is a bit like chopping meat with a blunt knife, it is very painful.
The knife on the head still cannot be removed.
It's better to tell her directly when she can call her. She's not used to hanging up and down.
Lin Jinyue was walking on the beach. As she walked, she noticed that a boat was approaching not far away.
This boat is very impressive, even more impressive than the Ji family's boat.
She took a look with the binoculars and saw that there were many guards on the ship with weapons, and the situation seemed a little bad.
At this time, people from the escort team came over.
"Yueyue, do we want to do something?"
Lin Jinyue shook her head: "Don't do anything. There are only a few guards on the boat. Besides, there is no movement at all in Shawan County. You can't go far away from the near. Come and find our village first, right?"
In ancient times, communication was inconvenient, but special times meant special treatment.
Lin Jinyue spent a huge amount of money to buy a high-tech homing pigeon from the system.
This kind of homing pigeon flies very fast, can locate its owner, and is not afraid of hunters.
The high-tech homing pigeon is extremely dexterous. Not to mention dodging incoming arrows, in the 21st century two thousand years later, it can even dodge speeding bullets.
If there was any trouble in Shawan County, she should receive the news within half an hour.
It would take at least more than an hour to get here from Shawan County.
Therefore, when someone told her that there was something strange at sea, Lin Jinyue's first reaction was to wait.
After all, there aren't many people on this boat.
The guard can hold on.
Lin Jinyue looked carefully again. Maybe it was Gu Shao who brought her brother back?
Her brother stayed in the military camp for almost a month and basically communicated with each other by pigeons. They hadn't seen each other for a long time.
But after waiting for a while, the ship approached.
Lin Jinyue couldn't help but frown.
All of them are unfamiliar faces.
There is also a man wearing a scarlet official robe, who is at least fourth grade.
Why would these officials go to their village when they have nothing to do?
Lin Jinyue was energetic again.
When the ship arrived, several key members of Yunhe Village also looked nervously at the people wearing the clothes.
Lin Jinyue had good eyesight and put away the binoculars to avoid arousing suspicion.
She saw the man in official robes supporting a woman, followed by only two guards, coming to their village in a small boat.
Lin Jinyue said to a few people around her: "Don't be so nervous. They should be looking for us if they have something to do, or they are here to seek medical treatment."
Apart from these, Lin Jinyue really couldn't think of any other reasons.
When they got off the boat, Lin Jinyue greeted them with a smile. Without kneeling down, she raised a smile and asked, "Are you coming to our village?"
She looked at the woman, her face was gentle, but her expression was a little uncomfortable.
Lin Jinyue quickly felt her pulse: "Hey, hurry up, take Madam to our village quickly. Her fetus is unstable and she has had a long journey. Don't let the wind blow here."
The woman was a little shocked: "What? I'm pregnant?"
