Everyone present looked at each other and nodded sincerely.
"In this case, what should people do if they don't have money? Then choose a compromise." Li Zhao said: "If you are unwilling to donate money or your family has no money, each family must provide one person to work for free."
"During the free working period, they can do any type of work, even cooking. When the free working period is over, if they continue to work, they can eat two meals a day and receive wages. But this is The wages can’t be too much at the beginning.”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
Isn’t this just the idea that if you have money, you’ll get money, and if you have money, you’ll get people?
They, country gentlemen and wealthy people, would definitely not be happy with such things as work.
"This is a good idea!" Zhu Taining clapped his thigh excitedly and said, "This way, no one will take advantage and no one will be dissatisfied."
The others also nodded in agreement.
Li Zhao felt relieved when he saw that everyone agreed.
This kind of thing is most likely to cause disagreements before a definite benefit is seen.
If the balance is not good in the early stage, there will definitely be a lot of contradictions later.
"Next, I hope that everyone will work together on this project, and I don't want anyone to cause trouble." Li Zhaodao: "The workers will all eat together, but the wages will definitely be reduced."
Everyone agrees on this point. It is impossible to say that we should pay so much wages after giving us two full meals.
Even if everyone is willing to spend more money, their wallets will definitely not be able to carry it.
Li Zhao focused on the distribution of tasks, including the recruitment of people in the canteen, the amount of wages, the expenditure of tools, the expenditure of food, the expenditure and statistics of money, the purchase of materials, etc.
Once something like this starts, it can't be stopped.
Even if Li Zhaozuo takes the lead, there will definitely be conflicts when there should be conflicts.
What he has to do now is to nip all possible problems in the bud.
As for the problems encountered later, they are naturally nothing to worry about.
The discussion started in the morning and ended in the early morning, because there were too many things that needed to be determined.
Fortunately, Li Zhao's house had plenty of fire and the food was relatively good, so no one felt tired.
After the discussion was completed, they rushed back overnight.
Li Zhao had been drowsy for a long time after using his brain and mouth for a whole day.
Under Xiaohong's care, she fell asleep almost instantly.
Dang Dang Dang——
Li Zhao felt that he was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the sound of gongs and drums. He covered his head with the quilt, wishing he could sleep for a few more hours.
"Your Highness, it's time to get up. Everyone is already here."
Xiao Hong's gentle voice rang in his ears, and Li Zhao reluctantly got up to wash up.
The weather in the first month was unexpectedly cold, and the cold wind whizzed into people's clothes.
When Li Zhao came out, the torches outside had already illuminated the surrounding area.
All the villagers from Longmen Village, Liujia Village and other villages are already in place.
Everyone in Prince You's Mansion also gathered together.
However, more people came this time, including people like Qianjiazhuang.
However, they did not dare to see Li Zhao.
"Longjiaan!"
"exist!"
"You are responsible for the distribution of tools in the construction workshop. You must count the tools every day and record the loss."
"yes!"
"Wu Tianjia."
"exist!"
"You can arrange the manpower to pick up the soil. You must pile all the soil in the designated area. This soil will also be of great use in the future."
"yes!"
"Li Dongqiang!"
"exist!"
"The task of digging the deep reservoir is mainly arranged by you, and the construction drawings will also be controlled by you!"
"yes!"
"Zhao Dahai!"
"exist!"
"It's up to you to direct the digging of the aqueduct!"
"yes!"
Li Zhao took what he had already planned and began to assign tasks.
This is a big project, and it must be started as early as possible before spring even if the weather is cold.
The reservoirs in Longmen Village are not big and are built around the mountains. If only a few nearby villages use water, it will be enough during the non-drought season.
But once there is a slight drought, there will not be enough water here because the water storage capacity is too small.
It took Li Zhaoguang a full hour to make personnel arrangements, because the division of labor had to be gradually clarified so that no one would be confused after hearing it.
“Now that we’ve talked about personnel arrangements, let’s talk about wages!”
Everyone immediately fell silent.
"I have said ugly words before. This time, I am thinking of everyone, not working for me. So, if you want to join, then complete the assigned tasks from beginning to end. If anyone gives up halfway, then don't It’s my fault that this king is so merciless.”
People like Qianjiazhuang and Doujiacun all bowed their heads in shame.
"There is no wages for working in the first half of the month."
Wow!
The scene instantly became noisy.
They all looked at Li Zhao in surprise.
"Everything requires money. I think everyone should understand this, right?"
"Whether it's building a reservoir, digging ditches, drainage channels, or cleaning rivers, all of these require money. This money is provided by me and the rich people. As for you who don't have money, you can only contribute. I think this should be very important. Fair, right?”
"Of course, you can do it if you don't want to contribute, then just contribute the money! You can't just take advantage and don't have to contribute anything, right?"
The noise is much quieter.
Everyone suddenly understood and accepted it.
"Of course, you don't have to contribute any money or effort, but... I'm here to say my ugly words. You don't have to think about any of the conveniences these projects will bring in the future."
Li Zhao glanced at the past with sharp eyes and said: "From now on, every household must provide people. If there are people who are sure that they will not pay or provide people, please register!"
No one wants to be left alone.
After what happened last time, even Qianjiazhuang and Doujiacun learned better.
Apart from being on tenterhooks, there aren't many risks involved in following King You.
But if you refuse this time, it will be equivalent to ruining your future life.
Seeing no one objected, Li Zhao immediately showed a smile on his face and said: "The first fifteen days are free labor, but we will take care of the food, two meals a day. After fifteen days, everyone will be paid!"
"really?"
"There is still wages?"
"Two meals a day, can you eat as much as you like?"
The eyes of the villagers who were a little disappointed just now lit up instantly.
In fact, after what Li Zhao said just now, everyone quickly accepted the fact that there was no wages.
Although they want to take advantage, they also understand that no one wants to be taken advantage of.
Since the rich contributed the money, everyone must indeed contribute.
But now Li Zhao actually said that he could provide free meals and receive money in half a month. This was undoubtedly a blessing from heaven.
Li Zhao first lowered their expectations and gave them sweeteners. In this way, their acceptability was naturally much higher.
"You take care of lunch and dinner every day. As for breakfast, you need to take care of it yourself."
"This is for sure!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
