The boy who spoke was fifteen or sixteen years old, quite tall, but a bit thin, with a square face and big eyes. He may not have said so many words in public. His face was a little red, and he held the corners of his clothes with both hands. He was a little reserved, but he looked at Xie Yushu's eyes. But very sincere!
A round-faced boy next to him also said:
"That's right, the master also gave us new clothes and new bedding. We are all poor people and have never been taken seriously by anyone. Master, you bought us and gave us food, clothing and a place to live. You are our benefactor." , even if you don’t reward us, we will still work hard for you!”
The others also said a few words of thanks to each other.
Xie Yushu waved her hand and motioned for them to sit down and continue listening.
Continue
"Okay, everyone just understands. It's fate that we are together. If you don't let me down, I won't treat you badly. Next, let me tell you about the distribution of personnel.
Here, I would like to formally inform everyone that from today on, our villa will be officially named Yuquan Villa. I am the owner of the villa. You can just call me the owner from now on. This is Qu Xiaodie, who will serve as the general manager and supervisor of the villa. Regarding all affairs in the villa, if you have any issues in the future, you can report directly to her.
At the same time, the villa has three branches of management. The worker management is still Wang Wu, who is responsible for the work allocation of workers and the management of crops in the villa.
The second is guard management. After paving the way in seven days, I will select and train a group of guards. Boys and girls between the ages of fourteen and twenty can participate in the selection. Those selected can become ordinary guards and special guards after training. Guard.
Ordinary guards earn 500 copper coins per month, and captains earn 700 copper coins per month.
The special guard is paid one tael of silver per month, and the captain is paid one tael of silver per month.
The guard commander is in charge of all guards, oversees all security duties inside and outside the villa, and dispatches guards. He is paid two taels a month.
The guard commander is tentatively named Zhang Xiaohu. "
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, she said to Zhang Xiaohu, the first boy who stood up to speak.
"According to the feedback from Aunt Su and Manager Wang Wu, you have performed well during this period. You work proactively and meticulously, and you also take care of your companions. I hope you will continue to work hard, correct your shortcomings, and do a good job in this position."
Zhang Xiaohu didn't expect that he could still be a manager. He was so excited and incoherent that he stood up and said with a red face.
"Thank you, Master. No, thank you, Master. I will study hard and be a good guard commander. I, I, I..."
Zhang Xiaohu still wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it anymore and scratched his head nervously.
"Okay, I know what you mean, sit down!"
Xie Yushu asked Zhang Xiaohu to sit down and continued:
"There will be two captains selected in the escort team, one to manage the ordinary guards and one to manage the special guards. Do you have any recommendations or self-recommendations for these two?
The captain's monthly salary is two hundred coppers more than that of ordinary team members, but he must be someone who is active, diligent, responsible and caring. "
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, everyone, look at me and you, no one dared to say anything. After looking around for a few times, Zhang Xiaohu stood up and pointed at the round-faced boy who was talking with him just now and said
"The owner of the village, his name is Saturday Yi, he is also very diligent, and he was born as an Orion, he is agile and his brain is better than mine!"
The round-faced boy stood up after hearing this and said
"Master, I'm not as good as Brother Xiaohu said, but if you believe me, I will definitely work hard and not let you down! If I don't keep my words, I will be struck by thunder!"
"Okay, then even if you are the only one, and there is another one, does anyone recommend it? Or you can recommend yourself if you believe in your ability."
No one said anything!
Aunt Su hesitated and said
"Mancang is good. He is that boy. He is honest and careful. I remember lighting a fire when there was no big kitchen at the beginning. He only left after the fire went out."
When Mancang heard Aunt Su mention him, he stood up and said with some embarrassment.
"If the village owner trusts me, I am willing to lead the team members to guard the mountain village with all my strength!"
"Then you are one of them"
For the remaining team members, you have seven days to consider whether to participate in the selection.
The last one is financial management, which is what you call the accounting office. Aunt Su will temporarily act as the agent for this, and the management personnel are basically determined in this way.
Development plan within the next year.
Manager Wang, before planting the land next spring, you are responsible for leading people to reclaim all the wasteland and hillside. Plant half of the corn and half of the wine sorghum on the flat land. Plant half of the peach trees and half of the grape on the hillside, leaving a small slope. Plant some other fruits, apples, pears, plums, etc. You can arrange them accordingly.
For the management of the three guards you just selected, you are first responsible for purchasing a batch of thorn trees, and leading people to plant the trees in a circle around our villa. When they grow, pay attention to repairing them into walls.
Starting from next spring, our villa will continue to be improved and even expanded. I hope that everyone will work together and cooperate with each other to build our beautiful home together. "
"I will obey the owner's instructions!"
"Okay, the last thing for today's meeting is to change the name.
From the time I brought you back to now, we have met twice in total, and we haven't had time to get to know you.
I took a look just now, and there are only three of us named Zhang San. There are also Ergou, Gou Sheng, Zhao Dipandi, and Erya and Sanya. It’s hard to distinguish and not nice to hear. Therefore, everything with such a name must be changed.
In our villa, everyone is a human being. Although they have different identities, they are equal in terms of personality. From now on, names like Gou Sheng and Zhao Di are not allowed to appear. Now, anyone with such a name can come up and get a name for themselves.
As she talked, Xie Yushu wrote down a dozen words such as spring, summer, autumn, winter, autumn, wind, cloud, rain, snow, sun, moon, mountains and rocks, etc., and asked the people in the row who stood up to each choose a word and go back and make a name.
And for the newly appointed Zhao Xiaohu, Mancang and Saturday
"You three also need to change your names. Zhao Xiaohu will be renamed Zhao Hu, Saturday Yi will be renamed Zhou Yi, Mancang, what's your last name?"
"The owner of the farm, I don't have a surname. My mother died when I was born, and my father also died of illness a few days later. My grandparents said that I was forbidden to have a family name, so they gave me a nickname."
"Then let's take the surname Xie and call him Xie Zhong."
"Thank you, owner of the village, for giving me your surname, but I'm afraid of overpowering the owner of the village."
"Zhuangzi doesn't pay attention to that. We walk and sit upright, and there are no taboos!"
"Thank you, Master, I also have a surname!"
Xie Zhong replied with some choking.
"Starting tomorrow, from two to three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone will gather here to learn literacy and simple calculations from Aunt Su. They must be able to recognize arithmetic within one hundred and five hundred common words, including their names. Write."
"yes!"
"Okay, let's end the meeting. Nanxing comes here, and you will follow me from now on!"
"yes!"
After hearing this, Nan Xing's eyes lit up and he immediately ran over and said aggrievedly.
"Master, I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
