When Yang Li and the others left, their footsteps were a little shaky and they were a little dazed.
The shock they received was too great and they were afraid.
After walking for a while, Yang Li sighed, "Sigh ~ ~ ~ this kid will have a bright future."
The two bailiffs and the broker nodded in agreement.
That young man gave them all kinds of benefits and took the initiative to offer the lowest rental price. He even considered other people and gave them a thousand eggs.
When it was time to sign the contract, it was an imperial physician's seal.
A fourth-rank imperial physician. From Chang 'an to Luoyang, he didn't show the slightest bit of an official's attitude.
The registrar of Luoyang County was Fuguo County, which belonged to Henan Province. Henan Province belonged to Duji Province. In other words, he was the registrar of Ji County, a ninth-rank official.
How far was a ninth-rank official from a fourth-rank official?
The registrar was an official with real power, while the imperial physician was a civil official. It seemed that a civil official wasn't as powerful as a civil official, but it depended on how old the young man was.
How could a young man who wasn't even twenty years old be a civil official?
It was easy for a civil official to get a civil official with real power, especially one who was third-rank or lower.
For example, if the emperor was in a good mood, he could arrange for an assistant minister. Because he was fourth-rank, the assistant minister could do it.
It seemed that the Winged Knights were protecting him. The Winged Knights protecting the emperor were protecting an imperial physician.
If it was another young man, wouldn't he be flying?
Looking at Li Yi, he was such a gentle and sensible person.
"Registrar, you have to take care of that place in the future." A bailiff said.
Another one agreed, "Otherwise, if something happens, Li Yi might …"
"I know." Yang Li took a deep breath.
He knew that Li Yi looked easy to talk to, but in reality, he had already taken care of the matter.
If something went wrong and he wanted to take revenge, don't blame him.
Li Yi was relieved. He didn't need to show off. His purpose here was simple, and it was important to do things well.
He wanted to do things well and not make them public.
Otherwise, if he showed his status, people would be respectful on the surface and play tricks on him in secret.
The key was that he had to leave after making the arrangements and couldn't stay here.
He needed to make arrangements for the people who stayed behind to avoid being taken advantage of..
Now, the leased land was 800 mu. It was connected to a small mountain and the surrounding area. There were two small rivers flowing through it and a few wells were dug.
"Dongzhu, there are mulberry trees. Are we going to raise silkworms?" The farmer came to Li Yi's side and asked happily.
"When there are more locusts, where will the leaves be? But there are mulberries that will ripen in a few days. You can eat them. You can hire someone to pick them and make wine. You can dry them in the sun. "
Li Yi did not think that the mulberry leaves could be kept for long. The mulberries would ripen.
"Dongzhu, you don't need to hire anyone." The farmer was reluctant to part with the money.
"One hundred of you have to take care of more than forty thousand poultry and five thousand piglets. How can you take care of other things? We don't need you to raise chickens, ducks, and pigs.
I sent you here to teach you how to manage. If I want to earn money, do I need to save money from you?
Later, I'll write a booklet for you guys to read and learn. I'll teach you how to find people to work for you and how to appease people who work for you.
Let them compete with each other, but don't let them do bad things behind each other's backs … "
Li Yi sat in the carriage and spoke to the villagers. The helpers who came to work also listened.
The more they listened, the more surprised they were. Some of them even felt that they knew how to manage.
"In the future, I will let you interact with other villages. You might even have to take charge of the village. Take this opportunity to learn more. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. I will take responsibility.
It doesn't matter if you lose out, but you have to know how you lose out. Pay attention next time.
Remember my words. As long as you are alive, everything else is secondary. Even if you are cheated, don't try to kill yourself. I will make it up to you later. "
The villagers nodded their heads. The others were envious.
Why didn't they meet such a good leader? There were also foremen who helped at the docks.
Sometimes, when they did not do well and offended people, the foremen would not help to solve the problem. They would only say a few good words. In the end, they would have to pay the compensation themselves.
The Winged Knights listened from nearby. They were expressionless. They were used to it.
They knew Li Dongzhu's character. That devilish training was indeed too difficult.
However, everyone's body condition was different. Li Dongzhu took good care of them.
Twenty-five miles west of the city, they arrived.
The hired people took out their tools and began to build fences to raise chickens, ducks, and pigs.
The Winged Knights chose four directions and sent out a hundred cavalrymen to each direction. They used the shovels to build the camp, while the other hundred stayed around Li Yi at all times.
Everyone busied themselves until it was almost midnight. Only then did they finish building the fences and feed the chickens, ducks, and pigs.
Compared to Chang 'an, the weather in the middle of April in Luoyang was much warmer.
The villagers set up simple stoves to make noodle soup and scrambled eggs with green onions.
"Stay in the tents tonight. Tomorrow, help build the shacks. Your wages will be doubled." Li Yi shouted through a loudspeaker.
Everything he said now was fake. Only money would make people happy.
Sure enough, just as Li Yi finished speaking, the four hundred people who were hired to work immediately felt refreshed and energized. It was just that miraculous.
After eating the hot noodle soup and a lot of black bean sauce, which should be called scrambled eggs with green onions, they felt that they could continue to stay in the tents tomorrow night.
"Li Dongzhu, the food is too bad." Fan Fan held a bowl and squatted beside Li Yi as he joked.
"I'm sorry everyone. I'm guilty. Everyone, please forgive me this time. I'll definitely correct myself tomorrow." Li Yi cooperated and said.
The surrounding people roared with laughter, but they believed that tomorrow's food would not be so casual.
"Your Dongzhu is easy-going." The worker said to the villager.
He felt that the noodle soup and scrambled eggs with green onions were good dishes. There was a lot of black bean oil in the stir-fry. It was fragrant!
"Dongzhu said that he would correct himself tomorrow. In Zhuangzi, we always eat dozens of dishes before choosing the ones we want." The villager showed off.
"I don't believe it." The worker shook his head.
"You'll know tomorrow morning. Everyone is tired today and has no energy to cook." The villager did not argue.
On the 29th day of the second lunar month, the sun jumped out from the eastern horizon.
The workers living in the tents woke up to the smell of food.
They found a place to squat down and relieve themselves, but the Winged Knights took them to the designated latrine and gave them some paper.
After they were done, they put away the paper and pulled out a few handfuls of grass around the latrine.
"Wash your face, wash your hands, and brush your teeth. The conditions are tough. You can't take a shower in the morning. If you feel uncomfortable, bear with it."
The villager who woke up first called out to the other villager.
Copper and iron basins were filled with hot water and mixed with cold water. Toothpaste and soap were placed next to them.
The other villagers brought their own towels and toothbrushes. The Winged Knights did the same.
A villager gave the workers toothbrushes and towels. "These are yours. You all have to work for the next few days."
Many of the people who were hired had never brushed their teeth in their lives, but they knew how to do it. They held the toothbrushes made of pig hair and bamboo in their hands and did not know what to do.
They followed the villager's example and wet their faces with water. They rubbed soap on it and washed it again. A basin of black water was poured.
They continued to wash. They felt embarrassed. It was too dirty.
"We just went to the Zhuangzi in Dongzhu and took a bath in the pool. The pool was black. It was dirtier than yours."
The villager explained to the workers to ease their nervousness.
After they were clean, they wiped their faces carefully with towels. When they were ready to eat, the workers who were hired to work were stunned again.
