Wu Wulang is very good at counting now, and he can figure it out by slowly turning the abacus, but obviously, the servants can't do it.
Even their foreman can't quite make it.
Zhou Wulang took out a sling of money from the basket and stuffed it to the foreman. The foreman was stunned for a moment, then his hands softened and he sat down on the ground.
They used their brains to calculate carefully, and found that they couldn't figure it out, so they stuffed the copper coins back into Wu Lang's arms, and said with a bitter face: "Fifth Brother, Friday Brother, we can't figure it out. Ah, how about you send them to us one by one."
The other servants also stared at the copper coins, their eyes were full of light, and they nodded repeatedly.
I gave it to the foreman, and I have to divide it again when I go back. How can it be better to get it on the spot now
And in case Brother Wu and the foreman made a mistake, they wouldn't be able to go back and look for him again, they might as well split it up now.
Anyway, they do the same job as others, and they can take as much as they want. There are always smart people here, and it's not bad to follow them.
So everyone persuaded Wu Lang one after another, "Brother Friday, let's share here, it's still early, we are not in a hurry to go home."
Wu Wulang: ... You guys are not in a hurry to go home, I am in a hurry, he is in a mess about his own accounts now, he only knows that he has made money, but he can't calculate how much money he has earned, he has to go back and ask Li Zhong for help Do the math.
"That's right, that's right, we just had lunch, we're not in a hurry."
Wu Wulang held his breath in his chest, thought for a while, everyone said so, it would seem that he had a problem with his calculations if he refused at this time.
The most important thing is that these people are Man Bao's food town, and if he has a good relationship, it will be easy for him to find them when he has a job in the future, so he has to establish a good relationship.
Wu Wulang waved his hand and said, "Okay, then come one by one, but there are so many of you, come and count the ones who count to one hundred."
In the end, besides the three foremen, only two people stepped forward.
Yes, everyone's cultural level is not very high.
The others smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Friday, we can actually count, but occasionally we will count wrong. But we know that ten is twenty, twenty is thirty, thirty is forty... "
"Okay, okay, I get it."
Wu Wulang cut off their words and called all five of them to him.
He poured a basket of copper coins onto the ground, and everyone's eyes fell on the pile of coins on the ground, shining brightly.
At this time, there is a lot of grass growing on the field, and the piles of copper coins piled up on the grass will not be dirty.
Wu Wulang sat cross-legged on the ground with them, took a sling of money and said: "It's agreed, the daily wage is fifty Wen, and you have worked for five and a half days today, and I will count six days for you."
He said: "That one person is three hundred Wen, and the hanging money is one thousand. Let's not say that much, and count them one by one. It is estimated that we will count until tomorrow. So, you have a good relationship. Make a group of three people, I will share one hundred coins from the money, and you can take back the rest, and divide it into three shares for each person."
It’s a good idea, they don’t know how to count, that’s what they do when they divide things in the countryside, especially when they divide their families, one bowl for your family, one for my family, another for your family, and another for my family...
Everyone had no objections, so Wu Wulang asked them to count out a hundred coins, and then string the money together with a rope and throw it into a basket.
It's another person's wages to take three skewers directly in a while.
So the six of them sat down and counted the money, and Zhou Wulang asked the onlookers to keep an eye on it, so that no one would let the money go in private.
After counting the money, put the small string of 100 Wen into the basket, and the large string of 900 Wen on the other side.
After counting a basket, Wu Wulang poured out another basket of money, and then put a large string of money in this basket. He counted, seventy hanging, and the count was correct, so he squatted aside and counted with his fingers. , How much is the wages of these three hundred people
So much money can't be counted like this, can it
Wu Wulang calculated calmly. He knew that a person was worth 300 Wen. He did the calculation himself last night and confirmed it with Li Zhong repeatedly. Those 300 people are...
Zhou Wulang snapped his fingers and thought uncertainly, nine hundred wen
Bah, bah, bah, no, it's 90,000
Well, ninety thousand is ninety hanging...
Zhou Wulang felt that he had made the right calculation and heaved a sigh of relief, so he rolled up his sleeves and counted a lot of copper coins on the ground. After counting twenty big strings, he immediately shouted: "Enough, enough."
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped their movements. Wu Wulang cheered up and shouted: "Now the three people who are familiar with each other come forward to collect their wages together, and those who are not familiar with each other are left behind, and they will only receive their own money later."
As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately crowded together. Those who had cousins were called cousins, those who had clan brothers were called clan brothers, and those who had cousins were called cousins, or neighbors lined up together.
Zhou Wulang took out the booklet, holding a pen, and the three of them came up and asked, "Are you sure that the three of you will receive the same award?"
After they nodded, they crossed out their names, then gave them a bunch of money, and said: "This is 900 Wen, and each person is 300 Wen."
The three of them repeated the words, kept this sentence firmly in their hearts, took the money and stepped back smiling, surrounded the person who took the money, and whispered: "We will share the money when we go back. "
"Don't worry, there must be a lot of you."
At the end of the distribution, there are small strings of money.
Zhou Wulang gave them three strings of money alone, "One string is one hundred Wen, and the three strings are here."
After distributing them, he distributed them to the three foremen, and gave them three strings in a bang, then took out a penny and said, "It's agreed, I will give you an extra 20 Wen for each of you foremen."
After all, they have to manage people, which is quite troublesome.
"Six days is..." Wu Wulang counted again with his fingers, five days is one hundred cash, and one day is added, "One hundred and twenty cash, come, I will count for you."
After the foreman's money was divided, the rest still belonged to Wu Lang.
Zhou Wulang found six cooks and shared their wages.
They had little money, only twenty-five Wen a day, but this money was calculated for him by Zhou Lizhong early in the morning, one hundred and fifty Wen each.
He counted the money and gave them to them, and he put the rest of the money in the basket.
Everyone looked at the remaining money and wondered, "Brother Friday, why did you bring so much money here?"
Because Princess Mingda gave him so much money, and it was just delivered to him in the workshop yesterday.
Wu Wulang said: "I have to send money to the quarry in a while, that's fine, that's fine, the person who took the money can go back, come and help, and send the money to the quarry with me to give to others. "
When everyone heard this, they immediately helped to put all the money in baskets and put it on the bullock cart. The three foremen were not in a hurry to go home, and they were very willing to accompany Zhou Wulang on this journey with the idea of building a good relationship with the Lord's brother. trip.
