Xu Li understood that in order to have others follow him wholeheartedly, he could not be stingy with money. Therefore, every year at the end of the year, in addition to their regular salaries, he would take out twenty percent of the profits from the sale of cattle and sheep and distribute it equally among all the families working on his ranch.
This share of money was far greater than the combined annual salary of him and his wife. Their monthly salary was around One Hundred Thousand Rubles, while the female workers earned about ten thousand each. At the end of the year, a typical household would receive around One Hundred Thousand Rubles, depending on the annual output and market prices; the more they sold, the more they earned.
Many people said that those from this region were lazy, but if you paid them well, even if you used a stick to make them work hard, they would do their best. If they slacked off and did not take care of the cattle and sheep properly, it would lead to a decrease in the output at year-end, resulting in less profit for them. Who would want that?
Life was tough for people here now. With the ongoing confrontation between the empire and the West, the domestic economy was deteriorating. If it weren't for Huaxia's firm support and financial aid, they might not have been able to stand up to the West for so long.
The men who had moved here over a decade ago had children who had grown up. Few were willing to return to their villages; they preferred to cling to the prosperity of big cities. However, with such low wages, it was difficult to support themselves, let alone their children. Every year at the end of the year, they would return home for the New Year, accepting financial aid from their parents and bringing back some beef and mutton along with Sour Cucumber and canned vegetables.
The men who stayed behind did not mind this; in fact, they happily encouraged their children to take more. The reason they lived here was to ensure that their children could have a better life in the city.
At that moment, while Xu Li was chatting and smoking with a few men, Aleksei rushed over, panting and looking anxious. "My eldest son got into some trouble in Irkutsk. Can you lend me some money?"
"What happened?"
Aleksei took a cigarette and lit it with a heavy sigh. "That brat got into a fight at a bar over jealousy and ended up sending two Xiao Nianqing to the hospital. One of them has a head injury, and another has three broken ribs."
"Wow, Aleksei! I didn't see that coming," Andreev chuckled beside him. "Ivanov is such a quiet guy; I didn't know he could fight like that! Hahaha!"
"What are you laughing at? Now they want me to pay for it, and they're threatening to have my son arrested. One of those Xiao Nianqing has a father who's a cop."
