Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

His daughter is also quite young, around eighteen years old.

If she could become Su Chen's maid, since they were both young, what if one day Chief Su took a liking to his daughter?

Wouldn't he then become the father-in-law of Chief Su overnight?

He'll have a high status in Sujia Village then, why would he still be a vagrant? He'll have hundreds of silver dollars a month, more than he can spend.

If he asks for a few thousand dollars in betrothal gifts, he can use them to buy some land and become a wealthy landlord.

If things really don't work out, he can always marry another wife and live a leisurely life.

Those around him quickly realized his intention.

They all heard what he was up to.

"What kind of pipe dream are you having? You actually want your daughter to be Chief Su's maid and warm his bed? Don't you even know if your daughter is worthy of that!"

"Exactly! Chief Su's wife, isn't she absolutely stunning? She has such an elegant air about her! Putting everything else aside, I saw her from afar when I went to the city before. She really is beautiful!"

"Forget about your daughter. She's a refugee, hasn't received much education, and can't do anything. Chief Su must be blind to have taken a liking to your daughter!"

"..."

The topics of conversation among the refugees were quite insightful.

In the end, the father who wanted to send his daughter to Su Chen's villa as a maid silently shut his mouth and said no more.

He was indeed overthinking things. How could his daughter be worthy of entering the Su family?

Meanwhile, at the front of the crowd, Su Chen gestured for everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, I had a chat with the old clan chief yesterday and learned that as we approach the depths of winter, life is not easy for anyone."

"In order to help everyone get through this winter and have a good New Year, I discussed with the people in the clan that Sujia Village will continue to recruit workers vigorously this winter."

"Our Sujia Village has recruited no less than 10,000 long-term workers and no less than 20,000 short-term workers this time."

"A farmhand earns one and a half silver dollars a month. If he works for the Su family for a long time, his salary can increase from one and a half silver dollars to two silver dollars, or even two and a half silver dollars!"

"I'm not making this up. The oldest person in our Sujia Village who has worked the longest can now earn three silver dollars a month!"

"His wages will only increase from now on!"

"For short-term laborers, there's one silver dollar a month, and they'll be given priority to become long-term laborers in Sujia Village!"

Su Chen said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers and shouts of joy immediately erupted across the threshing ground.

The number of people in the refugee area, including men, women, and children, is approximately 200,000.

The largest group consists of young adults, numbering approximately 110,000 to 120,000.

Recruiting 30,000 workers at once will solve the problem for one-third of the young and middle-aged people, allowing them to survive this harsh winter.

"Chief Su, if I become a farmhand, I will definitely work diligently."

“From now on, the Su family will be my masters. If the Su family tells me to go east, I will never go west. If the Su family tells me to kill, I will never kill a dog.”

"Clan Chief Su, I have absolutely no problem working in the fields. When I worked for a landlord before, he praised me a lot!"

"..."

These people crowded around Su Chen, wanting him to agree to let them work as long-term laborers.

"Please don't be anxious, everyone!"

Su Chen spoke again, "There are many things to do in Sujia Village next. The first is to build terraced fields so that farming can be done better next year."

"Another thing is to widen the river channel. As you have seen, the river channel built last year was not long enough, so we are building it again this year."

"Secondly, we will help the farmhands in Sujia Village build houses. We plan to build at least 10,000 houses by next year so that 10,000 farmhands in Sujia Village can move in smoothly!"

“These things require a lot of people to do. For safety reasons, our Sujia Village will send people over to conduct screenings later.”

"Those who pass the screening process in Sujia Village can become long-term or short-term laborers for Sujia Village, and will continue to work for Sujia Village."

"As the clan chief of Sujia Village, I promise everyone that as long as you work hard, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Su Chen's voice carried far, and the people on the rice field were extremely excited.

To be fair, the welfare benefits in Sujia Village are really good.

Putting aside everything else, the housing alone would cost a lot of money. In addition, the Su family would give double wages at the end of each year so that everyone could buy more things during the year-end season.

Just for this reason alone, the farmhands of Sujia Village could hold their heads high in front of all the farmhands in Changsha City.

Aside from these major benefits, long-term laborers in Sujia Village also have a few days off each month to rest at home.

If you don't want to rest, Sujia Village should give you more money.

Unlike other bosses, who not only require you to work your butt off, but also expect you to take time off?

Go dream!

If you take one day off, you will have two days' wages deducted.

In comparison, these people felt that Sujia Village was quite good.

After becoming a long-term laborer in Sujia Village, one can also buy Sujia Village's rice, grains, and meat at low prices.

There is a large breeding farm in Sujia Village, where many chickens, ducks and pigs are raised.

These meats are priced far below market value.

Those farmhands enjoyed plenty of good life, and these refugees watched with longing, hoping to become farmhands in Sujia Village themselves.

……

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Even after Su Chen left the rice field, the refugees were still unable to calm down.

The opportunity is right in front of them; whether they cherish it or not is entirely up to them.

Many refugees began to return home to prepare, trying to make their clothes cleaner, and some even stuffed cotton into their clothes to make themselves look stronger.

Some even took out the last of their money to buy something to eat, so they would have enough energy to work and perform better in order to be selected.

These refugees were all making preparations.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in Sujia Village.

The old patriarch looked at Su Chen and nodded in praise, "Little Chen, you really have a way with things."

“Old clan chief, sometimes you have to motivate these people!” Su Chen said with a smile. “Sometimes, don’t think too highly of yourself, and don’t think too highly of Su Family Village.”

"People always need to eat. As long as you give them food and make them feel that there is something to gain, they will respect the Su family and trust the Su family from the bottom of their hearts."

"Sujia Village is currently thriving, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Let's buy more land next year."

"In addition, Elder Chief, you should pay more attention to the breeding farm and expand its scale. Although our prices are lower than those in Changsha City, there is still some profit."

The laborers were paid their wages, and then they used those wages to buy rice, flour, and meat products from the Su family. In the end, the money was returned to the Su family village and went into the Su family village's treasury.
