Chapter 959 Retirement at the Age of 3
"The wages of those long-term and short-term workers can be earned back in a year."
Twenty cents a day, and those who do a good job will be paid more. At the end of the year, a lot of money will be spent just on paying the wages to the people below.
Not to mention that they also provide meals, the food cannot be too bad. Although food is free, the meat and vegetables are also a considerable expense, and they will also be given gifts during festivals.
With the Nanhe River, this portion of the river now accounts for a large portion of the annual revenue.
Zhou Guo laughed and said, "That's incredible. You are already worrying about wages. In a few years, I will be able to completely let go and just lie at home and count money all day. You guys should work hard to let me live like that sooner."
The old man said, "You are so young, and you are not ashamed. How old are you? You want to enjoy a leisurely life? Who here is not older than you?"
Zhou Guo said: "Although I am younger than them, I started working earlier. I started making money when I was seven or eight years old. So, I can retire in my twenties or thirties. By then, the world will be so big, I can go wherever I want, live in one place for a few years and then live in another place for a few years."
The old man was stunned.
Er Pang hurriedly said, "Master, please take me with you. I will cook for you, make tea for you, drive you, and grow vegetables for you."
Dashu and Xiaoshu also said, "We will go with you too. You can't leave us behind."
The young men who were older than Zhou Guo were not to be outdone. "That sounds great. Master, we are all your subordinates. You can't forget us for such a good thing, right?"
Everyone in the group wants to go.
The old man calculated his age and thought that if he took good care of himself, he might be able to wait for such a good day.
He said to Zhou Guo: "I have traveled all over the country for so many years, and I know a lot of good places."
Zhou Guo: "...it will take many years, it's too early to talk about this now, but Master, you are in such good health, when the world is finally settled, where can't you go?"
The old man was stunned, thought for a moment and nodded: "You are right, I have to take good care of my body."
Zhou Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing the others looking at her eagerly, she said unhappily, "I just said that, but you guys really took it seriously and all wanted to follow me. What, you don't want your wife and children anymore?"
Some people muttered, "I don't have a wife yet, and I don't plan to get married."
Some people thought that Zhou Guo was not young anymore. By the time she was in her twenties or thirties, she would definitely be married. How could she just leave when she was married?
Thinking of this, I felt deflated.
……
The group walked and stopped many times, and it took them ten days to reach the next county town.
This county town is remote, and it takes five or six days to get to the provincial capital. Although the county town is not big, it has a large jurisdiction, with nearly two hundred villages.
The county town was originally quite wealthy and had everything it needed.
It’s just that it’s post-war now, and the situation is similar to that in Nanhe. There are not as many shops on both sides of the street, and there are fewer people on the street.
But the streets are wide and clean, and the houses have no major damage, so it is considered to be very good.
Zhou Guo bought three shops in this county town, one big one and two small ones, all of which were purchased from the main households. The big one was located on the main street, had a backyard, and two floors.
Zhou Guo asked curiously, "Now that everything is peaceful, why did you sell the shop?"
Good days are coming, and when more people come here, many people will rush to rent this shop.
The old man looked sad and sighed, "The war is over. My children, wife, and grandchildren are all gone. We are the only two of us left in the lively family. Why should we keep this shop? Let's sell it and go back home. We will return to our roots even if we die."
My eyes became red when I said this.
Zhou Guo remained silent. Any words seemed pale and powerless in the face of such pain.
The old man obviously didn't need her to say anything.
The three shops were set up smoothly, and she also bought a farm of several hundred acres.
This place is far from the provincial capital and there are many villages below. The fermented fertilizer can also be used to supply several neighboring counties.
The next day after she bought these things, she wrote a letter to Baldy.
Let him carry the food and mountain products all the way south.
The Haoguo Escort Agency now has a branch in Nanhe, but there is no food or mountain products in Nanhe, so all these things have to be transferred from the north.
After finishing the work here, she took Erpang and others to other counties.
The territory we just conquered is still in the recovery stage.
But the local people are in high spirits, with smiles on their faces, and at least there is hope for the future.
Ten days later, she took her people to the provincial capital.
He went straight to meet the Lord of the Prefecture with the letter in hand.
As soon as she handed the letter in, a man who looked like a housekeeper came out after a while and warmly invited her in.
The Lord was stunned when he looked at the little Zhou Guo, obviously he didn't expect her to be so small.
Looking at the letter in my hand, I doubted that such a small person could have such great ability.
When Zhou Guo saw him like this, he knew that he probably hadn't been greeted by his superiors.
That's right. The front line was so busy. I guess no one expected her to move so quickly. She came right after the battle. So what if she didn't say hello? She had souvenirs, that's the same.
The Lord of the Mansion asked, "Mr. Zhou, what is your plan for coming here? In other words, why did you come to see me?"
The question was very direct, and Zhou Guo didn't laugh it off. She told him the purpose of her visit, and there was no lack of respect in her words. After all, she was just an ordinary citizen.
The man on the other side became more serious as he listened, and finally he stopped drinking his tea and sat upright.
After Zhou Guo finished speaking, the Lord asked, "You did the same thing in the North? Excuse me, where did you sell your fat?"
Zhou Guo said: "In the past few years, only the northern part of the country has developed some weather. The southern part of the country will not start to develop until next spring, which is about the same time as yours."
The other side asked: "How many years have you worked in the North?"
Zhou Guo told the truth.
Finally, he asked, "I wonder if you can help me with this?"
"Help, such a good thing, I will definitely help!" The prince waved his hand and promised readily, "Just wait until the beginning of next spring, I will make sure that every county will get the news. I will have each county post notices at the city gates and send people to the villages to announce it. I guarantee that every household will use your fertilizer."
He paused and said, "But the premise is that this thing of yours is really that useful. Otherwise, I have spent so much effort, but it will be in vain in the end. Then, I, the Lord of the Mansion, will be laughed at by everyone in the Mansion."
Zhou Guo laughed, "Sir, I would lie to you, but would your colleagues lie to you? You are both officials, so you are much closer to them than I am. And as the head of a prefecture, you only need to send someone to find out about this kind of thing. I can't lie to you even if I want to, and I don't have the guts to do it."
The adult was laughing. Zhou Guo touched his heart. He pointed at her and said, "You are incredible, little kid. You are so brave at such a young age. You are not afraid of anything. I don't know how your parents taught you to be so brave."
