Three taels?
Wang Jie could not help but be stunned. He was born into a poor family, so he naturally knew that for ordinary people, their annual income was only a dozen taels of silver.
Moreover, this was the income of a family.
However, if it was in the capital, the income of ordinary families would be higher.
Otherwise, even if one tael of silver was used to buy two chickens, most people would not be able to afford it.
"In Lord Liu's words, you're in your internship!”
Zhang Ting said slowly," The internship period will be over in three months. If you can stay, I can give you a dozen taels of silver a month. It's not a problem!"”
Wang Jie's interest was piqued. He couldn't help but ask,""Who is this Lord Liu? What rank is the official now?“
"Our Lord Liu is called Liu Hao. He was the top scholar of the gold division, and was approved by the golden pen of the Lord!”Zhang Ting was quite proud when he spoke. After which, he opened his mouth and said,"Lord Liu was ordered by the emperor to give us refugees a way out and concentrate on farming. Without Lord Liu, we wouldn't be where we are today!”
"Liu Hao?"
Wang Jie was naturally not unfamiliar with this name. He was the top scholar in the 31st year of Qianlong and the first top scholar in Shaanxi during the Qing Dynasty. He naturally knew Liu Hao.
Wang Jie had also seen Liu Hao's strategy discussion in front of the court.
The handwriting was nice, but in Wang Jie's eyes, it was just flattery. It was nothing more than trying to figure out the Emperor's thoughts. Wang Jie also looked down on Liu Hao.
However, Wang Jie never expected that Liu Hao was the one behind all of this.
"Then, where do I live?" Wang Jie couldn't help but ask. In his heart, he was calculating how much money Liu Hao had earned from the national treasury by offering such a high salary.
"Naturally, I arranged a place for you scholars to live!”Zhang Ting nodded.”
……
"This…"
When Wang Jie saw the house he was living in, he could not help but be shocked.
This was a small bungalow about 300 square meters in size, made of brick and wood.
It looked exceptionally exquisite.
"This is a house that Lord Liu specially gave to scholars. Lord Liu said that only those who study well can live in a good house!”" Wang Wei, you're a scholar," Zhang Ting explained casually." We should set an example for you. Let our children know that they have to study hard. Only by studying hard can they live in a spacious house!"”
Wang Jie was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, an allusion appeared in his mind.
However, wasn't the price to pay too high?
His current identity was not that of a court official, but an ordinary scholar. He was not even a scholar. For a moment, he did not know what to say. After a long time, he stammered,"But I'm not even a scholar now!”
"It's okay. This house isn't for you. It's for you to live in temporarily!”Zhang Ting smiled." Wang Wei, take a rest first. This waist token is for you. We have a canteen here. Take this waist token to the canteen. You can eat three meals a day for free!"“
"This…"
Wang Jie didn't know what to say.
Wasn't this treatment too good?
" Brother Zhang," he couldn't help but say," I've just arrived. I haven't even done anything yet, and you're already giving me three meals a day. This…"
Zhang Ting said slowly," Brother Wang, you only have the strength to work when you're full. If you're not full, you can't do anything well. Don't worry, our canteen has three meals a day. There's meat for lunch and dinner!”
Wang Jie didn't know what to say.
To maintain this kind of life, how much expenditure would be needed?
However, Zhang Ting said with some enthusiasm,""Brother Wang, in the future, this brother will also have to learn some words from you. At that time, I hope you won't be stingy with your teachings!”
Wang Jie was a little stunned. He looked at Zhang Ting and said,"Brother Zhang, aren't you a scholar?"
"Hey, I'm a farmer. How can I know how to read?”Zhang Ting slowly said," This is all taught by Lord Liu. During this period of time, Lord Liu even went to the city to invite a teacher to teach us how to read. I can now recognize 500 words!”
Wang Jie was a little stunned. He looked at Zhang Ting's hands carefully. They did not look like the hands of a scholar. Instead, they were a little dirty. They looked like the hands of a laborer.
Such a person was so polite to him that Wang Jie couldn't tell that he was from a poor family.
"Brother Zhang, do you have time now? I want to take a look here!" "Brother Zhang, please show me around!" Wang Jie couldn't help but say.”
"Sure, sure!" Zhang Ting smiled and said," I still have to go to night school to learn to read. I have time now. It's good to bring you around!"”
After that, Zhang Ting brought Wang Jie and started to walk around.
"This is the shed area, which is where all the refugees come from.”Zhang Ting pointed at the tent area in front of him. There were many changes here compared to when He Shen came.
Liu Hao got someone to expand the place and turned it into a huge factory. Each person had a house, and each person's living area was about 20 square meters. If it was a couple, it would be 50 square meters.
Only after they had money could they move into the bungalow that Wang Jie lived in, or they could meet certain academic standards.
Now, scholars could live in Wang Jie's house. In the future, they had to be at least a scholar.
During this period of time, Liu Hao had not been idle. He had obtained the cement technology from the system and built the dormitory first.
Actually, Liu Hao had spent a lot of money here and there.
Fortunately, the profits from the chickens and ducks this month were extremely high. Liu Hao had money in his hands, so he naturally spent lavishly on wood, bricks, and even a cement factory.
However, Liu Hao was only using the cement internally and had not sold it to the public yet.
The quality of life in the shed area could be said to have greatly improved. The ground was actually exceptionally clean.
Wang Jie only took a few glances and found that the elderly here were all taken care of. These elderly people did not actually need to do much. They only needed to do some light work every day, such as boiling water, cooking, or washing clothes. They could actually eat chicken and duck every day.
Glass factory, brick factory.
The bricks here were actually hollow bricks.
For this, Liu Hao had spent an unknown amount of points to exchange for this technique.
Some people were building houses, some were building glass greenhouses, and some were building large-scale farms.
When Wang Jie saw the huge farm, he admitted that he was shocked.
