Ning Yi's house, no, it should be said that it was the house purchased by Li Yan, and today was supposed to be a day of renovation, but outside the gate, there were a lot of people around, and there were some screams inside.

In the house, there are more than ten and nearly twenty people, all of whom are about forty years old. These people are all the best craftsmen in the county, and they are all found by Chen Meng for Li Yan to renovate Li Yan's house. However, on the third day of the renovation of the house, a group of people suddenly broke in, smashed things and beat people if they didn't agree with each other.

These craftsmen were injured by these people. Originally, these craftsmen wanted to earn a few good jobs according to their work, but now that they are all injured, they will definitely not be able to work. If you can't do the work, you have to throw away the job, after all, others will not stop the renovation of the house because you are injured.

At that time, you only need to find some people, although these people's skills may not be as good as theirs, but they are not much worse than them. And they are also the most likely to get these two days' wages, and whether there are medical expenses is a question.

Li Yan came to the house, and when he saw the miserable situation in the house, he was immediately extremely angry. If these people were still here, they would probably have only one fate, that is, they would be beaten by Li Yan, but these people would not be here for a long time, and the officials who came before them did not find anyone.

You said you smashed something, it's nothing, it's done, but why hit someone. You said that you just wanted to make trouble for me Li Yan, so just wait here, but why do you want to beat these innocent people. These people are just craftsmen who have come to help them renovate, not to make a little money.

I don't have any hatred with you, and they are all people who are nearly half a hundred years old, how do these people do it? Although Li Yan was very angry, this thing was also like this, and it was useless to say anything.

Li Yan took a look at the wounds next to each of them, and saw that fifteen people were slightly injured, as long as they recuperated for a few days, there was no major problem. And there are three people who are much more miserable, one of them is also fractured, this injury is not in bed for two or three months, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover. The so-called 100 days of breaking muscles and bones is this principle.

When Li Yan saw this, he also apologized to the injured craftsmen and said: "Masters, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, this is my negligence." Therefore, in order to compensate for the losses of the masters, as well as the medical expenses, ten taels of silver per person were used as compensation. And the three serious masters, two of them twelve taels of silver, and the one who broke the bone, thirty taels of silver as compensation. ”

Li Yan said this, took out a stack of silver tickets directly from his arms, handed it to Wen Monkey who was standing beside him, and said, "You go and send it to everyone according to what I just said." ”

When Wen Monkey heard Li Yan's words, after the silver tickets were obtained, he began to send the silver tickets to those who were injured.

When Li Yan saw the Wen monkey next to him, he looked at these craftsmen and continued: "If you masters can continue to work tomorrow, you can come, and if you can't come, please ask this master to help you find a friend you know, or a junior with good skills, to come here to complete the renovation of this house." ”

"But please rest assured that what happened today will not happen from tomorrow until the renovation is completed. I would like to assure you here, so please don't be afraid, and believe in you. ”

Those injured craftsmen, when they heard Li Yan say that they would give them medical expenses, basically no one believed them. Because they used to work for others, they basically had no medical expenses when they were injured. Even worse, they are even in arrears. So no one believed what Li Yan said.

But when they saw Li Yan take out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and let them be personally distributed to everyone's hands, these people really believed it, and only then did they believe that what Li Yan said was true. I believed what Li Yan said, not to lie to them.

These people took the silver tickets sent to them by Wen Monkey with trembling hands, and every old face had a look of disbelief. It took a while for these people to slowly react, and they knew that this was not a fake. Some people even couldn't hold back their tears, and looked at Li Yan and Wen Monkey with gratitude.

The ten taels of silver given by Li Yan were used as their injury medicine expenses, which was already a lot, and it was generally only one or two taels of silver, which was enough. And their wages for a week are not only nearly a penny, but a salary of one or two silver.

However, Li Yan gave them ten taels of silver, if it was according to their normal circumstances, it would be a quarter's salary in the past quarter, or half a year's salary. Not to mention the craftsman with the broken bones, he can no longer work this year.

Li Yan gave him thirty taels of silver, and the one who really recuperated from his injuries was only seven or eight pieces of silver. So when these people thought of this, they were also envious when they saw the craftsman who had broken the bones.

After hearing what Li Yan said, these people nodded excitedly, patted their chests and said: "Please rest assured, we are all minor injuries, as long as we rest for one night tonight, it will be fine, and we can come to work tomorrow." And I don't know how much Childe needs? ”

"Eighteen people will do." Li Yan said with a smile: "The person who made up for it will use those masters who don't come to find someone to replace his place." For the rest of the time, by the day of completion, each person should be paid a tael of silver. ”

When those craftsmen heard this, they were slightly disappointed in their hearts, and they also planned to let the people in their families come, so that they could earn a little more money, but when they heard Li Yan say that the rest of the time was still settled according to the wages of one or two silver, that disappointment was gone.

And they also found that they were a little greedy, after all, Li Yan had already given them ten taels of silver as compensation for medical expenses, which was already a great virtue, so a person still can't be greedy. So these craftsmen all nodded in unison and agreed with Li Yan's statement.

Li Yan saw the changes in their hearts, and just smiled slightly. But he was also very satisfied in his heart, because Li Yan knew that these people were the most simple, although sometimes he would still be greedy, but when he knew that he couldn't do it, he would put away his greed, or he would suppress his greed.

As long as you give them a little hope, or a little sweetness, they will become very simple, very simple people. Unlike those of them who have status, they will only become more and more greedy, and in the end, they will become an insatiable person.

However, Li Yan didn't say anything, looked at those people and craftsmen and said, "I'm here today, all the masters should go back to recuperate." ”

When these craftsmen heard Li Yan's words, they didn't say anything, and after saluting Li Yan, they all left the house one by one and went home.

After these craftsmen were finished, Li Yan's face finally darkened, and he looked around, and the materials for the renovation had also lost a lot, almost one or two hundred taels of silver. Li Yanzhi didn't feel sorry for these materials, silver taels, but he was unhappy that these people interfered with his time to renovate the house, and he beat people.

"Do you know from the mouths of these craftsmen that it was the people who beat them?" Li Yan looked at the official standing beside him and asked.

"Li Yangongzi, we asked, but they don't know who these people are, so we don't know who these people are." The officials who stood beside Li Yan heard what Li Yan asked, so they said what they knew.

However, the eyes of this official looking at Li Yan were full of admiration. You must know that like Li Yan gave directly to those injured craftsmen just now, each of them was ten taels of silver, and this courage is not available to everyone. Whether it is those who have money or no money, they will not do this like Li Yan.

The main reason is that some people are reluctant to give up their money, and some people look down on this craftsman. In the eyes of the world, people are divided into four levels: scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. And this kind of people are all self-confident that they are scholars, and they all look down on the latter two types of people, that is, agricultural workers.

And the businessman who says that it is the last class, but as long as he is rich, these people will put down their identities and talk with you.
