Courtyard House: Passing through the Silly Pillar, Activating the Blessed Cave Heaven

58

The day after the Seventh Fleet entered the Minwan Strait, the Workers' and Peasants' Party promulgated the "Land Reform Law of the Dragon Kingdom," which immediately sparked a nationwide wave of land reform.

The workers at Fengzeyuan were discussing whether they should go back to their hometowns to be allocated land.

He Yuzhu didn't have any attachment to the land, so he didn't care about this matter.

Zhang Erzhuang, the waiter, approached He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, do you want to come back to our hometown with me and get a few acres of land? I went back a few days ago, and all the landlords in the village have been confiscated. The land will soon be distributed to the villagers, and my family will get a few acres too."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Erzhuang, thank you, but I'm not from your village, so it's not appropriate for me to go and divide the land."

Besides, I don't have time to farm.

"If you don't farm, you can rent out your land and get food for free without doing any work. Isn't that great!"

"If you don't farm the land yourself but live off rent, wouldn't you become a landlord? I don't want to be that kind of person."

It's more practical to be a cook; the harvest from three acres of land isn't even as much as my master's monthly wages.

"Once I've completed my apprenticeship and become a master chef, I'll get married, have a child, and life will definitely be much more comfortable."

"You're right. Although being a waiter doesn't earn much, it's much easier than farming."

Now that workers and peasants are in charge, they no longer need to fear being bullied by customers.

Zhang Erzhuang nodded, agreeing with He Yuzhu's point, and stopped mentioning the matter of returning to his hometown to divide the land.

He Yuzhu turned to Wu Baotian, who was resting, and asked, "Master, do you want to go back to the countryside and be allocated land?"

"My hometown is in Shandong Province, and it's too much trouble to go back."

Farming isn't easy. In good years, it's manageable, but in years of disaster, you might work hard all year and still go hungry.

"Master is so thoughtful."

In the afternoon, He Yuzhu took some time to go to Qudeng Hutong and called his six underlings together.

"I called you all here today to talk about one thing."

You've all probably heard about the recent land reform, right? Does anyone in your family want to go back to your hometown to get land and farm?

"Brother Zhu, my dad is planning to go back to his hometown. He doesn't have a proper job in the city, and he thinks farming is more reliable," Ma Han said first.

Others chimed in, saying that their elders also had the idea of ​​returning to their hometown to divide up land.

"I understand that the older generation wants to farm, but what about you? Do you also want to go back to farming?"

"What future is there in farming? Following Brother Zhu is the only way to make a living!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Go back and tell your elders not to rush back to the countryside.

Now that the world is at peace, the country will definitely build many factories. If we go back now, we won't be able to keep up with the demand when the factories start hiring, and that would be a huge loss.

When you have free time, learn more characters and read more books. This might give you an advantage when factories recruit workers in the future.

Also, you've come with me to do grain business, so be careful from now on, because this business might not be able to continue one day.

Working in a factory is the proper way to make a living.

"I called you here today for this very reason."

You should pay close attention to what's happening in the market.

Also, look around the area for detached courtyard houses for rent, preferably in a less populated or remote location.

Once you find it, have Zhang Hu negotiate to rent it in your name.

Let's not meet here anymore; it's too crowded and unsafe.

That's all.
