Chapter 220 The winds of intrigue finally reached Wangyue Village.
Seeing the miserable state of the two bodyguards, Gao Mengli and Lin Xi both laughed.
They just couldn't stand the two of them acting like they couldn't do anything to them, with that shameless, clingy attitude.
As "fish and meat," one must be prepared to lie on the chopping board and be slaughtered at will.
Gao Mengli walked up to the village chief who was watching a "martial arts movie" and said, "Village chief, I've arranged for these people to be paid by piecework. So, villagers or outlaws who want to break bricks in their spare time can also join in."
Gao Mengli considered it in her mind for a moment before continuing, "The wages will be paid daily. If the Lotus Sect performs well, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and we can arrange for those who perform well to help with the harvest. The wages will be 15 coins a day, plus one meal."
Upon hearing this, the village chief rubbed his hands together with delight, exclaiming, "Oh my, Lin family, your idea is brilliant!"
Gao Mengli had her own reasons for making this arrangement.
After all, competitive pressure keeps them from slacking off.
It's time for the winds of involution to blow!
If you don't work hard, you won't even get to eat. If you don't get to eat, you won't have the energy to cause any more trouble. You can only work like crazy to improve your efficiency and outmaneuver your "colleagues"!
Lin Xi, standing next to Gao Mengli, gave her a sly smile and turned to the village chief, saying, "Village chief, just you wait and see, this move will definitely make them all feel like they've been injected with chicken blood."
In the past, those people in the Lotus Sect relied on the "divine protection" and became used to being lazy and gluttonous.
Now they need to learn that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and only hard work brings a good life.
The village chief nodded repeatedly and replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, I'll go around the village and tell everyone about this good news."
I bet those greenhorns will be itching to make money as soon as they hear about it.
After saying that, the village chief hurriedly ran back into the village.
The two men looked at the village chief, who was running away in a hurry, and smiled at each other.
Turning around, they saw countless Lotus Sect members staring at the two of them, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Is this some kind of scheme to get the villagers to take their jobs away from them?!
How can this work!
They immediately stopped hitting people and quickly started digging mud, scooping water, and making mud pouches.
They're so busy they're practically glued to the ground!
The two guardians lay on the ground groaning, but Gao Mengli and Lin Xi ignored them.
After all, when you're hungry, you'll naturally go to work.
The village chief quickly relayed the message.
Everyone in the village, young and old, knew about making money by breaking bricks.
The outlaws, eager to try their luck, were all free and ready to go. They rubbed their hands together, lightly touched their toes, and used all their light-footed skills to hurry to the brick kiln.
They were afraid that if they ran late, they would make two fewer bricks and earn less money!
Children of all ages and genders in the village, from teenagers to healthy elderly people, all carried hoes and water ladles and ran to the kiln site.
The Lotus Sect members panicked when they saw this commotion.
The believer, panting heavily as he rapidly hammered bricks, said, "No, I have to work harder. We can't let those villagers look down on us. We used to just coast along, but now we have to prove ourselves!"
The outlaws were not to be outdone. One of the big men shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brothers, we can't lose to these former cowards!"
"Let's see who can break the most and the best bricks! That'll pay for today's drinks!"
That's right, they're making money off the alcohol!
The Lotus Sect, on the other hand, is just trying to make a living!
Comparisons are odious, so the Lotus Sect members dared not slack off and their hands were so skillful that they left afterimages.
Before they could even catch their breath, another group of villagers came running from the intersection.
They carried hoes, chatting and laughing, their eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.
Wang Gougou brought Er Gouzi over and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I heard you can make money by breaking bricks, so we came to join in the fun and buy some peanuts to go with our drinks. We can't let you guys make all the money!"
When everyone saw another group of people arriving, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
A quick-witted young man from the Lotus Sect shouted, "Everyone, let's work harder! There are more and more people, we have to keep our jobs!"
Having said that, he quickened his movements even further.
With everyone racing to improve, the brick kiln's output skyrocketed.
Looking at this scene of intense competition, Gao Mengli nodded in satisfaction: "That's good, they're so busy they even have to squeeze in time to eat."
From now on, I won't have the energy to deal with those messy things. Let this 'involution' wind blow even stronger!
Young people should have the energy of youth. Look, it's finally starting to look decent now!
The brick issue has been resolved.
Upon arriving at the village entrance, Zhu Mei, Yang Qing, and Jiang Yue were swamped with work.
I originally thought that I could keep busy by making meals for the workers from other villages.
Who would have thought that their eldest brother and sister-in-law would come over and tell them that they needed to cook for more than two hundred more people? Their world almost collapsed!
After nodding with a grin, he quickly found five nimble women in the village to go from house to house to buy vegetables from the fields!
Zhu Mei frantically chopped vegetables, looking anxious: "What are we going to do? We don't have enough pots and pans!"
Yang Qing shouted from the side, "Faster! We'll be too late!"
Jiang Yue remained relatively calm, wiping the sweat from her forehead: "My two cousins-in-law, don't worry."
Let's organize all the vegetables we have first, and then we'll figure out what to do if we need more.
The aunties who helped should be able to bring the vegetables from the fields over soon, so let's hurry up and prepare."
The women worked together, some boiling water, some cooking rice, and they were so busy they were dizzy.
At this time, the aunties who had helped returned one after another, each carrying a full basket of vegetables.
"Hurry, hurry, the vegetables are here!" An auntie breathlessly put down her basket.
Zhu Mei and the others quickly took the vegetables and began washing and chopping them.
The village children also came to help. Although they were young, they did what they could to do simple tasks, such as gathering firewood and washing dishes.
For a time, there wasn't a single idle person in the entire village.
Of course, excluding Lin Xi and Gao Mengli, add Ah Li as well!
The economy needs to circulate within the village first, forming an economic circle and a small business circle.
In this way, everyone's life will get better and better!
The village suddenly came alive, like a wound-up machine, with everyone happily turning in their own place.
Seeing that the rice was about to be harvested, Gao Mengli took the blueprints for the foot-operated threshing machine and went to the new house next door to find her father-in-law, Lin Yong.
Seriously, they don't even let a single idle person go.
Lin Yong had just finished his carpentry work and was taking a couple of puffs of his pipe when he saw his eldest daughter-in-law run into the yard.
He quickly stubbed out his cigarette and stood up. "Big sister, what brings you here?"
Gao Mengli handed the blueprints to Lin Yong, "Dad, hurry up and make five of these foot-operated threshing machines, and I'll have the village chief allocate funds for you!"
Lin Yong took the blueprints, examined them carefully, and his eyes gradually lit up: "Damn, this thing looks pretty novel! Can it thresh grain?"
Don't we harvest all the rice and then knock it down with sticks?!
