Shopkeeper Liu looked at Yun Miaomiao, unable to calm down for a long time. The hand holding the money shook, "Such a lot of money, just a 30% deposit. Miss Yun, are there really so many people buying this? Are they serious?"
Not only did Shopkeeper Liu not believe it, but Magistrate Zhao himself was still very excited about it. If he hadn't been sure it was a letter written by his own sister, he wouldn't have believed it either.
Yuncui Pavilion hasn't even opened yet, but its reputation has spread all over the capital.
"The previous Yunxiang was the brick thrown out, and these subsequent orders are the jade."
"It's indeed Miss Yun!"
Shopkeeper Liu sighed in his heart, Yun Miaomiao is really the smartest and boldest woman he has ever seen.
Magistrate Zhao looked at Yun Miaomiao with a smile and admiration. As expected of someone from the capital, it was indeed not simple.
Everything about Yun Cui Pavilion has been settled, and the opening has been left to Xiao Yang. Shopkeeper Liu doesn't need to worry about anything. He can just take it in the house and do his own thing.
After settling the matter at Yun Cui Pavilion, Yun Miaomiao and Magistrate Zhao returned to Jiangning Village.
The coal mines in Jiangning Village have been mined for several months. At that time, it was said that wages would be paid every three months. I just had the money for the deposit for the Beijing jewelry, and this time the time was just right.
Attendant Zhao who was with County Magistrate Zhao went to the capital and had no help around him, so he called Yun Miaomiao.
When the construction site started, there were one hundred people. Later, in order to keep up with the progress, an additional fifty people were recruited. In this way, there were a total of one hundred and fifty people on the construction site, which was a considerable expense.
Magistrate Zhao gave all the money to Yun Miaomiao, while he went to find the people who were doing the work and called them together.
"Everyone is here. Today happens to be the third full month since everyone came here. According to the agreement, we will settle your wages today. Since everyone has done a good job in the past three months, the county magistrate decided,
Each of you will be given ten cents a month, and it happens to be the Chinese New Year. We have stopped working here since the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and we will not start work until the eighth day of the first lunar month next year. During this period, everyone has no
Of course there is no pay for working.”
When they heard that there was no work, everyone panicked. The work here at the county magistrate's place was better than other jobs. Not only did they have food, they also had a place to sleep, and occasionally they even had meat to eat. Such good treatment was for them.
Even my own family may not be able to eat one meal of meat a month.
Someone jumped out in a hurry and began to plead for mercy.
"Sir, we are not afraid of getting tired and we don't need to rest."
"Yes, yes, sir, we are not afraid."
"Just let us get on with our work."
As soon as the first person started, the second person spoke, and there were one hundred and fifty people, and chaos suddenly broke out.
County Magistrate Zhao was unable to speak for a long time after being talked about by these chattering people.
Yun Miaomiao saw that the situation was getting more and more out of control. Everyone came forward and knelt down to beg County Magistrate Zhao. Magistrate Zhao was spinning with anxiety.
"Bah bang bang~" Yun Miaomiao patted the account book in her hand, then stood on the stool, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."
The people in front became quiet as they watched Yun Miaomiao stand up, and the people behind also became quiet one after another.
"Everyone, listen carefully. What County Magistrate Zhao said does not mean that you will not be asked to work. Don't be anxious and listen to the Magistrate slowly."
"We have to work now. The county magistrate has said that work will not be allowed until the eighth day of the first lunar month next year. If we don't work, what will we eat at home?"
Yun Miaomiao squinted her eyes and looked at the speaker coldly. Some people will never be satisfied with the status quo, even if they are given the best benefits.
"Then if you don't want to work here anymore, you can go work somewhere else. From the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month to the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, all of you here, if you don't want to continue working, you can come to me.
For the registration here, I can recruit people again without delaying your efforts to make money."
When the person in charge heard Yun Miaomiao saying that he didn't want him to continue working, he felt as if he had eaten a fly, and his face turned very dark.
The reason why he said this was to make County Magistrate Zhao relent and let them continue working. Who knew that this Yun Miaomiao actually jumped out and told him to stop working, so as to make room for others.
For such a good job, even if he was given money to give it to others, he would not let it go. How could he give it to others?
"The county magistrate didn't say anything, so why don't you let us continue?"
"Who are you? How can you speak here?"
"Magistrate Zhao didn't even say anything. Who do you think you are?"
Yun Miaomiao sneered, "Who am I? I gave you the money. Who do you think I am? Sooner or later, the coal job will be finished. You have been digging coal for three months."
Sorry, if you continue to do this, it will be too much for your body, and it will also cause damage to your body. You have been down there, and you know how big the dust is down there. We breathe dust into our bodies, and long-term accumulation will cause problems, County Magistrate
This arrangement is a balance between work and rest. It does not mean that you should not continue to work and delay your earning money. This is all for the sake of your health."
"It's all nonsense. We are all doing farm work. Can this little dust kill us?"
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "Of course, this will not only kill you. If we suck in too much coal ash, we will not only kill you, but we will also make it impossible for you to breathe. I don't think you will like that suffocating feeling."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other a few times, half believing Yun Miaomiao's words.
"How do you prove that what you say is true?"
"I don't need to prove it. Just run around this coal hill and see if you are still the same as before."
As soon as Yun Miaomiao finished speaking, several people actually ran around in a circle.
When they all came back from running, their faces were ashen and their breathing seemed very difficult.
"You don't look good at all." The aunt standing aside looked at the men who came back from running, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The people on the side also looked at those people carefully, "Really, look at the people in my family who used to run around in the fields, their faces were all red, how could they look like them, all of them black?
It’s scary.”
"It seems that Miss Xiaoyun is right. You can't do this job for a long time and you need to rest."
"I think so." One person continued, "Hey, look at your faces quickly. Miss Xiaoyun didn't lie to you. I think this is 80% true. Don't be stubborn and just rest.
.”
Many people also chimed in, "This life is yours. No matter how much money you make, if your life is gone, how will you spend it?"
