Chapter 27 The first village meeting of Dawang Village (Part 1)
The fish selling team returns to the village!
Children ran away when they saw Wang Yuan, and some cried out of fright.
When the young wives saw Wang Yuan, they all lowered their heads and blushed, pursed their lips to suppress laughter.
When the villagers saw Wang Yuan, their eyes were filled with awe.
The patriarch, Wang Bizhong, turned around and left when he saw Wang Yuan, and there was no rush like before.
After dinner.
Fishing team meeting.
There were no stools, tables, or conference rooms, and a group of people crowded into Wang Yuan's courtyard.
Most of them were squatting, and some were sitting directly on the ground.
Wang Yuan sat at the door.
There are four core members on both sides: Wang Hanshan, Wang Sihai, Dahu, and Erhu.
A little further away are the sea, the second sea, the third sea, the green mountains, the hills, and the uncle in Wufu.
The closer the relationship is, the closer one sits to Wang Yuan. The villagers themselves know the location in their hearts.
More than thirty villagers formed a large circle, and there were still villagers outside the courtyard who did not come in.
Some are family members of the fishing team, and some are from the village who want to watch the fun.
In the past five days, we caught more than 3,000 jins of fish and sold 2,400 jins of fish, earning a total of 83 guan.
At this moment, the villagers were both excited and nervous when they gathered together for a meeting.
Wang Yuan now is no longer the Wang Yuan he used to be. He is the most ruthless person in Beiping Township.
Liu Youcai, the head of the district, was sent to the county prison by him and wanted to be tattooed and sent to the army.
Wang Yuan walked to the big circle, looked around at the villagers and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard these five days. If you have any problems with fishing, come and talk here!"
Villagers, you looked at me and I looked at you, but no one stood up and spoke.
"We are all our own people. When you encounter problems, you must speak up. If one person thinks about the shortcomings and the other people think about the strengths, if everyone combines their wisdom and strength, there is nothing that cannot be solved!"
Wang Yuan encouraged him and started to call the names: "Uncle Shanshan, you are the captain, let me talk first."
Wang Hanshan stood up and walked to the circle. He looked at the surrounding villagers looking up at him. He was not afraid even among the thousands of troops. He was a little nervous for no reason. He was startled and said: "Wang Yuan, everyone is living a good life now.
It’s quite hard, can you give everyone some wages in advance?”
call!
More than thirty villagers held their breath and secretly looked at Wang Yuan unconsciously.
Even if you join the fishing team, the lowest you can get is one free money, and the most you can get is two free money.
But wages were not paid, and their lives were the same as usual. Even in order to have enough food to go to work, the family expenses increased, and the wife and children had less to eat.
Wang Hanshan felt anxious, wondering whether Wang Yuan would agree to this proposal.
He saw many villagers discussing it privately and felt that this matter should be mentioned.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Uncle Shanshan, please tell me if this proposal is good or not!"
"good!"
The villagers shouted.
"Then what are you waiting for? When you encounter a good proposal, you should applaud and celebrate!"
Wang Yuan took the lead in applauding!
Bang bang bang...
Fierce applause resounded throughout the courtyard.
Seeing everyone applauding enthusiastically, Wang Hanshan was in a trance and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Can't tell what it is, but it feels good.
"Dahu, Erhu, Sihai, come to the house to get money and give everyone wages!"
Wang Yuan turned around and entered the room: "From now on, wages will be paid in advance at the beginning of each month, bonuses will be paid at the end of the month, and money will be paid twice a month."
Dahu, Erhu and Sihai quickly followed into the house and took out the copper coins.
The villagers were shocked!
Wages are paid in advance. This is unprecedented. I have never heard of it!
The landlords outside are all paid for their work, and some are delayed in not being paid.
Wang Yuan not only paid out the money in advance, but also paid out bonuses at the end of the month. What a bodhisattva-hearted person!
Wang Bizhong, who was also listening to Qiang Gen, shook his head sadly: This prodigal son doesn't know how to control his poor legs. If you don't pay them more, will they work hard for you?
"As always!"
"You hit me twice!"
…
Holding heavy coins, many villagers sat on the ground and shed tears.
Farmers like them can't make much money even after working hard for a year.
I want to work in the county town, but I can't find a job.
When you go to work in a landlord's house, you are often in charge of the meal, and you get no wages at all.
Doing county government work is also like corvee labor. Not only are you not paid, but you also have to bring your own dry food.
Now, after working for Wang Yuan for a few days, I received so many copper coins.
"I was negligent about this matter. Fortunately, Uncle Shanshan mentioned it!"
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "If it hadn't been for Uncle Shanshan's mention, the wages would definitely not have been paid tonight. So if there is anything, everyone must raise it so that we can solve it."
The villagers immediately pecked at the rice and nodded, and their enthusiasm was completely aroused.
Wang Yuan smiled: "Who's next?"
"me……"
One by one the villagers scrambled to speak.
Wang Yuan pointed at one of the young men and said, "Okay, Ergou, you tell me!"
"me!"
The young boy Wang Ergou stood up, scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and said sheepishly for a while: "Brother Yuan, I haven't thought about it yet, please let me think about it again!"
"Hahaha!"
The villagers burst into laughter.
"roll!"
Wang Yuan laughed and scolded: "Everyone thinks about the question first, and then stands in the middle. If the question is raised well, everyone applauds. If the question is raised poorly, everyone should also applaud. After all, courage is commendable. Just use your brains."
The villagers nodded repeatedly.
"Let me bring one up!"
Wang Qingshan walked into the circle and blushed: "We have been setting up a fishing team for five days, and I found that the more we dug out the Buddleia root, the less we dug it. In ten days and a half, our village will be completely dug out. What should we do then?"
"
All the villagers were silent.
Although we don’t know the complete steps of the secret fishing method, everyone has guesses in their hearts.
If all the buddleia roots are dug out, what will the fishing team do?
Wang Yuan applauded: "This issue is very important!"
Bang bang bang...
The villagers applauded enthusiastically.
Wang Qingshan's heartbeat quickened and he looked around at the people around him, feeling like his blood was boiling.
When he was twenty-eight years old in Dawangzhuang, he had never had so many people applaud him.
"The number of buddleia roots in one village is limited, but there are so many villages around us."
Wang Yuan smiled slightly: "The team that used to dig grass roots has become a team that collects grass roots. Wet grass roots cost five cents per basket, and dry grass roots cost twenty cents per basket."
One villager said: "Five cents per basket is too high. Someone will do it for two cents per basket!"
"right!"
Many villagers agreed.
"The price cannot be too low. If we can make money, we must let others make money."
Wang Yuan sets the tone: "Next!"
"I come!"
Dahu stood in the circle: "Brother Yuan, I haven't been to the city these days. I have been working with everyone. I found that everyone's food in the morning was very thin and they were not motivated to work. The fishing team lost one pound a day.
Everyone is either reluctant to eat small fish, or they leave it to their children, or they save it and sell it secretly at the market for money. I am not against everyone giving food to their children. I just want to tell you that if you don’t have enough to eat after such heavy work every day, time will be lost.
After a long time, the body will collapse."
Many villagers lowered their heads, looked at their skinny hands and feet, and fell silent.
Although he joined the fishing team and received monthly wages, no one dared to eat freely.
Winter is coming soon, and the river will freeze and fishing will be impossible. Will I still get paid?
It's worth saving a little bit.
Wang Yuan took the lead in applauding: "Dahu's proposal is very important!"
The villagers' applause was not enthusiastic.
Dahu knew that this suggestion offended people, but he was mentally prepared.
But for the health of the villagers, we must remind everyone.
