The open Threshing Ground, after two years of construction, has now transformed into a square paved with Azure Brick, spacious enough to accommodate thousands of people.
Early in the morning, the villagers gathered here, a sea of black-clad figures, both young and old, men and women. Those at the front eagerly looked at the several leaders standing on the platform ahead.
Leading the group was Liu Qingxi, with Zhang Wuliang seated to her right and a middle-aged man of similar age to Zhang Wuliang on her left. He wore a blue long coat, had sharp eyes, and a smile on his lips.
Surrounding them were layers of onlookers; even though they were not part of the Construction Team, many had family members inside who were about to receive rewards. Their eyes closely followed their loved ones, eagerly anticipating the rewards to come.
“I believe everyone knows why I’ve called you here today. After half a year of hard work and collaboration from all the kids, our housing project has shown initial results and achievements. To express my gratitude for everyone’s efforts, I will be distributing red envelopes today.”
As soon as Liu Qingxi finished speaking, cheers erupted from the crowd. People waved their arms excitedly and chatted animatedly with those around them.
“ Miss Liu is bold; working with her brings many benefits,” someone thought, imagining the money they would soon receive. Who wouldn’t be excited?
“Exactly! Last year we only received rewards during the New Year; this year it’s only halfway through, so there should be even more during the New Year!” Liu Qingxi continuously brought them unexpected surprises.
With such generosity from her, the villagers worked diligently without holding back. After all, given such generous conditions and pay, how could they not put in their best effort?
As honest and hardworking farmers, receiving rewards only motivated them to work harder; they wouldn’t slack off but instead achieved unexpected results.
Thinking back to their lives two years ago when they had to carry heavy loads to town—often without even being paid by the employers—was like comparing two different worlds.
Liu Qingxi provided them with stable lives; there was always work available and money to be earned, giving them a sense of security.
“Thank you, Miss Liu.”
“ Miss Liu is a good person.” At that moment, people felt genuine respect for Liu Qingxi.
Even though she was just a girl in her teens, her actions and displayed determination were beyond what ordinary people could achieve.
Liu Qingxi smiled: “This is what I should do. Our housing project’s success relies on everyone’s support. As pioneers in this real estate endeavor, you are all creators.”
From the beginning, Liu Qingxi gradually instilled the concept of real estate into people’s minds. Now when mentioning Ten Li Pu's industry, who wouldn’t feel proud?
Her words made their hearts feel sweeter than honey.
"After thinking it over, I believe the most straightforward way to show gratitude is to give everyone a cash bonus. Each person can buy what they need themselves. After discussing with the Village Chief, we decided to reward everyone with a month's wages."
Wow~~~ The crowd below was greatly surprised. A month's wages! Since the beginning of the year, they had only worked for about four months, and now they would receive a month's pay. On average, that meant nearly four hundred coins of income per month.
The scene fell silent, and one could hear the breathing of those around them as they eagerly watched Liu Qingxi signal Liu Yi to bring out a large box from behind, filled with freshly exchanged coins.
Zhang Wuliang stood up to organize the crowd: "Everyone, please don't rush. Form a line and come up one by one."
Having experienced such scenes several times before, Kid did not push forward; after all, everyone would receive their share, and there was no need to be anxious.
It took nearly an hour to distribute the rewards to several hundred people.
During this time, those who received their red envelopes were overjoyed and couldn't wait to share their happiness with their watching relatives.
Women held the silver coins given by their husbands and felt delighted, unconsciously starting to plan how to spend the money.
A woman in her thirties, slightly plump and wearing a loose blue coat, said, "Oh dear, my daughter needs new clothes. I should take this opportunity to buy some fabric and make her a new outfit."
"That sounds great! Your daughter is growing up; it's time to take good care of her. It won't be long before suitors start knocking on your door," said a familiar face nearby with envy. "I wish I had a daughter too."
There was nothing they could do; after several births, all they had were sons, and they longed for a daughter.
"Isn't it? Your fellows are all working at Miss Liu's place; this time, they probably earned even more."
Indeed, the woman across from her showed a satisfied smile. Her son immediately handed over his earnings for her to keep safe. Life was good and comfortable.
The same scene played out for many others as well; some were preparing to buy rice and flour, while others saved up for their sons' weddings or for dowries for their daughters.
One couldn't help but admire Liu Qingxi's generosity. With so many people present, many of whom worked away from home, they had never encountered such kindness from a boss before.
Just counting this round of red envelopes alone added up to several hundred taels; even the wealthiest families in town didn't have such deep pockets.
When the last person received their red envelope, Zhang Wuliang signaled for everyone to quiet down: "Alright, the red envelopes have been distributed. I hope everyone will continue to work hard in building our homes at Miss Liu's place. As long as everyone puts in their best effort, there will be more red envelopes in the future!"
"Good!!!" The applause was thunderous.
However, Zhang Wuliang then changed his tone: "But there is one thing I want to emphasize. Since we are providing such good working conditions for everyone, you must cherish them. You cannot betray Miss Liu or the Construction Team as a whole. Once discovered, severe punishment will be enforced."
Zhang Wuliang's serious expression indeed calmed some of the restless hearts below.
There was no way around it; Liu Qingxi's booming real estate industry made many people envious.
Since ancient times, people have died for wealth and birds for food. Who wouldn't envy such a lucrative way of making money like Liu Qingxi's? Who wouldn't be tempted?
Just like what happened with Liang Siji before, once there is one, there will be a second.
Even more so, some offered substantial benefits to the core members of the Construction Team just to obtain Liu Qingxi's blueprints or key construction techniques.
When the conditions offered by Liu Qingxi differed significantly from those offered by others, some began to stir restlessly.
Zhang Wuliang had communicated with these workers most of the time and naturally sensed their inner restlessness, which is why he took the opportunity to remind them at the meeting.
In the crowd, some suddenly felt a chill. What had happened to them? Two years of comfortable life in the Construction Team had clouded their judgment, and they almost fell prey to others.
Thinking about it now sent shivers down their spines. After all, they didn't know much about the other party. Would such unscrupulous and insidious tactics provide them with a good way out? The answer was no.
