Chapter 1092: Long-Term Laborer (6)
The young man was immediately delighted, his smile so wide that his teeth showed but his eyes didn’t.
"The horse cart might be inconvenient, so I suggest you take a mule cart instead. It’ll be easier to make purchases that way." Yang Ruxin pointed to the cart that had been pulled to the entrance by the old crate, "Boss Bai will lead everything. Be sure not to act impulsively in any matter."
Having sent off Boss Bai and his two companions, Yang Ruxin didn’t rest for a moment and headed straight to the village chief’s house. After the New Year, he would have to build a house, hire workers to plant fruit trees on the hillside, and cultivate herbs on the barren land. He would also need to buy land for farming... In short, in this era without mechanization, everything had to rely on manual labor.
The village chief was naturally very supportive of what Yang Ruxin wanted to do, and took the initiative to scout for people suitable for long-term labor contracts.
Long-term labor was not the same as indentured servitude, but contracts still had to be signed, usually for spans of five or ten years. During this period, the workers could only work for their employer.
Actually, if Yang Ruxin wanted to recruit workers, there would likely be many interested. But not everyone was qualified; only those with proven character could be considered.
Upon hearing this, Li Xin, the village chief of Xiaobudong Village, immediately recommended the Li Family of Xiaobudong Village. The family, also of the Li family clan, was struggling due to having too many children and an ever-present gap between harvests.
