Chapter 298 Help
It was cold when she was busy. Li Yu went to the academy every month to give lessons to everyone.
Today, Li Yu brought many academies to see the town built by Gu Lei, let them see how to build a new town, bring them to work together, and experience the real suffering in the world.
There are many refugees here to do coolies such as trackers and goods, which is very hard.
Although it has not been fully completed, it is already very lively, with many people working, the pier has been built, and it can be used initially, several warehouses have also been built, and the construction of shops is also in full swing.
There are two rows of small vendors selling food and drink in the surrounding open space, and the business is booming.
"It's so exciting, master, it's almost finished."
"We have to continue to work in the spring of next year, and there will be much less work that can be done in cold weather. Now we must hurry up and build the pier so that ships can pass through in spring, so that Fandi can earn more money for people's livelihood."
Li Yu explained to them seriously.
"Master, what is our mission today?"
"The task is to help with the work. You can go to pull the fiber, or you can help these vendors to run errands and sell things. I have negotiated with them. I will give you ten copper coins a day as wages. You won't let you do it for nothing. Maybe you will be rewarded if you do a good job. If the performance is good, it will be considered a good job in the future when the family is poor, and it is better to make money first than not to make money."
"Master, thank you!"
Many poor disciples had red eye circles and were very moved.
In order to help His Highness, the head of the mountain has taken in many commoner disciples. These people are very hard-working, and they don’t charge repair fees, but they have to buy pens and inks by themselves.
Usually, many people help their classmates copy books to earn a few copper coins, which is not enough.
The women's home is even more difficult. Many commoner girls can't read when they come here, and there are really too few jobs that can make money.
"There is a Chamber of Commerce and a small restaurant over there. I have already told people that as long as you are willing to work hard, they are willing to give you money. You can't take too little. The opportunity is given to you. Whether you can seize it depends on whether you are willing or not. If you are willing to endure hardship, I will squeeze the Li family from the Gu family and give it to you at this opportunity, so don't dislike it."
Li Yu told the students seriously.
As far as this job is concerned, the Li family and the Gu family are still very happy to do it. In troubled times, it is not bad to be able to support the family, so how can they be selected.
"Master didn't lie to you. I watched the children of the Gu family running halls inside earlier. They gave you the opportunity. You have to work hard and don't let the master down."
"That's right, a person must be self-improving to be respected by others."
The son of the powerful also spoke.
It's not shameful to be poor, but lazy and greedy. It's shameful that I'm poor and rational.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go to work."
"Okay, ask yourself, go find it, this is also the content of today's assessment, you can't just study hard, but also learn how to understand the world."
Li Yu clapped his hands.
"yes."
A group of disciples saluted respectfully, and dispersed to find work. How to do it, how long to do it, and how much money should be paid.
In fact, those who take the initiative to work and need to make money are the children of the common people. The children of the powerful do not need to make money so early, and they will not compete with them for opportunities.
Many commoner girls have also found work. It is still possible to help people serve drinks and food and run errands. If they can work for a long time and learn a craft, what a great opportunity.
A disciple of the Yang family, standing beside Li Yu and looking at the students who took the initiative to find work, couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"Master, you are very powerful, timely rain, sent to everyone's heart."
This skill of winning people's hearts is really brilliant.
Not only has it solved the financial difficulties of many people, but also allowed everyone to continue studying and relieve their worries.
Let this town attract more people's attention, bask in the sun, and better supervise the children of the Gu family to do things. With more people watching, no one dares to interfere in bad things, ensuring that no one will take the credit for Gu Lei.
This serves multiple purposes, making the Academy even more grateful to the Gu family for doing practical and good deeds, being low-key and humble, and having a decent family style.
The Yang family's children sighed in their hearts. The Gu and Li families will inevitably rise up, and no one can stop them.
Their two families are not down, they are being suppressed, their talents and skills are there, their children and grandchildren are still in the family style, they bend their backs, bow their heads, they are as tough as rushes and cannot be crushed or knocked down.
Looking at the busy town, Li Yu couldn't help showing a bright smile.
Today I’ve been wandering around the town all day, and the children of the powerful family have to experience the customs and customs of the people even if they don’t work. Walking around, the secular economy can also learn a lot. It’s a rare opportunity.
Gu Lei came over after finishing his work, "Hello, Mr. Gu."
Everyone greet Gu Lei, he is an official and should be respected.
"Hi everyone, I brought you some hot soup to drink, try our meal at noon."
"Okay, thank you Master Gu."
Everyone nodded.
Many little girls couldn't help blushing when they saw the handsome and upright Gu Lei, who was gentle and graceful like jade, with an upright bearing.
Gu Lei looked at Li Yu and smiled, put on a handkerchief and wiped her sweat, his eyes were gentle and kind, "Are you tired?"
"Not tired, I haven't worked today, take it easy, don't tire yourself, keep warm and don't catch a cold."
"good."
Everyone ate together at noon, and they ate multigrain rice and stir-fry.
Li Yu instructed the impoverished family of the Gu family to set up a stall here, steam the miscellaneous grains and rice in advance, cook a few dishes, and give some oil and water. One meal can be meat or vegetables, or all meat and vegetables, the price is different.
Many of them are pigs, chickens, beef and mutton. If they are well washed, they are also meat dishes. You can eat enough for a few copper coins. There is also oil and water, which is suitable for dock workers.
She gave money and ideas, and asked several families to work together to earn some hard money. If they do well later, they can rent a shop.
This small town was built by Gu Lei throughout the whole process, and you can get a few shops with the best locations. This belongs to the Gu family's family business, not Gu Lei's.
Others have to pay rent if they want to do business, which can be regarded as adding to the family property.
There is still a place for stalls outside, and it has been divided. After the construction is complete, it can be done drastically.
It’s not official yet, but there are already many people setting up stalls. There will be no money for setting up stalls. It’s a little benefit for the big guys, and rent will be paid for subsequent stalls.
Li Yu and everyone ate this multigrain rice and side dishes.
"Master, this dish is delicious."
Many disciples said that the dishes are well prepared and full of flavor.
"My widowed and widowed sister-in-law ran a small stall to feed the young and old. The men were all killed in battle. There must be a livelihood to support the family. After all, it is better to stand up and stand up by yourself."
"This is the reason."
"Have you all found work?"
"I found it, Master. I found a job as a waiter, and I made an agreement with the person. I will do it for a while at meal times every day. I can come to study in the future. I will do it first. If you do well, you will be paid monthly."
Some disciples rushed to say it.
"If you can't do the hard work, you can also let your family come here to set up a stall to cook some food, which is also an income."
Laughing and giving advice to everyone.
