Chapter 72: Secretly Giving Up
Amidst the laughter, Thorn Fur was about to walk into the door with the others, when suddenly the corner of his eye swept and he felt a figure deep in his mind. In confusion, the prickly fur stopped, looked in that direction, and found that he was not mistaken, a woman in the distance led a little girl who could just walk, and followed behind a tall and thin man with low eyebrows.
"Mother!?" Thorn Fur blinked, making sure she wasn't dazzled, it was her widow mother who had eloped away from home.
"What do you want? Stunned here? The monk on the side happily patted the prickly shoulder, "Go in and drink!" ”
"Oh, drink and drink." Thorn followed the monk into the door. The moment he stepped into the threshold, he smiled with a hint of bitterness and relief in his smile. He thought to himself, "Actually, this is good, it is really good......
is already in two worlds, and there is no turning back, so why bother to affect the peaceful life on the other side?
……
Several square tables are put together, several large pots of whole chicken, whole duck, pork and beef, and two braised carp. When another large pot of scallion fried mutton was served, it ushered in a full house of applause. More than a dozen people sat down and poured wine happily......
Xiao Wei whispered beside Qin Bai: "Second Brother Bai, those mine blacks have all settled down, and they are all according to your orders, and they are all quite stable now." ”
At the same time as coming to Jingjiazhuang, Xiao Wei and Fat Bear led their people to Shanglin Village. As expected, the vast majority of the miners in Shanglin Village were locked up inside, and they were all easily controlled.
And this batch of mine slaves is not as "preferential" as the first batch, although they promised to release them, but they must be done for Qin Bai for three months. And there is no base salary, only bonuses for more work. However, Qin Bai also promised that as long as the total amount of bonuses is one or two, even if it is less than three months, he can be free in advance.
If an hour ago, hearing such news, Qin Bai would be very satisfied, because he was short of people in his hands, and these mine slaves were still useful for the time being. But now? Thinking that there were more than 200 people recruited, Qin Bai could only be speechless. Just take a nap, and the crowd has become a burden.
But now is not the time to think about this, Qin Bai smiled and praised: "Xiao Wei, Fat Bear, you have done a good job." ”
Qin Bai took the lead in holding the wine glass: "Brothers, let's stand shoulder to shoulder today, let's have a toast first!" ”
"!"
There are only a dozen leaders who can sit here, and there are only two exceptions - Dong Chuan and Yan Miao.
For Dong Chuan, the other leaders have always had no opinions, although he is just a child, but people in this era still have a lot of respect for scholars. As for Yan Miao, no one objected, and today's seat was bought by him in exchange for his death.
Qin Bai didn't talk nonsense, and put down the wine glass: "Brothers, first kiss the brothers and settle the accounts." This harvest was good, and there were 1,520 taels of silver in cash. There were 14 slaves and maidservants, each with 10 taels, for a total of 140 taels. 162 mine sunspots, 4 taels per person, a total of 650 taels. Add it up and round it up, count it as 2400 taels! As for the other livestock, weapons, tools, etc., they will be used by everyone in their work in the future, so I will take advantage of it here, and I will not be included in it, right? ”
"Don't count, you can keep it." The others laughed.
"That's good, thirty percent is a public account, that is, 720 taels. There are 1680 taels left. One percent of them belongs to me, and the second cabinet should take seventy percent of mine, that is, 168 taels plus 118 taels, and the rest is 1394 taels. If you have one share, you don't count as a master, and everyone else will share it equally. There are 16 people in total, that is, almost 87 taels and 150 Wen per person. ”
The sound of laughter sounded, and I heard that each group of people could get more than 80 taels, if you add the 20 taels given by Qin Bai before, it would have exceeded 100 taels, it would definitely be a windfall.
Qin Bai continued: "Let's talk about the money for burning and burying and the cost of soup and medicine. The dead brothers were 20 taels each, and the wounded were 5 to 10 taels, all of which were paid out of the public account. The treatment of wounds and recuperation is also all in the public account. ”
Da Ma suddenly asked: "Second Brother Bai, there is no one in Da Mao's family here, who should he go to for the burial money?" ”
"Give him a good grave. All the money for the grave is also taken into public accounts. Also, whether you are disabled, there is always a bite to eat if you keep it. There is one more person in the family of the dead brother, and he can continue to work with us. But before I said ugly things, all this money will be sent to their families, and whoever dares to be greedy will bury him alive. ”
"How can this be? Second Brother Bai is righteous! The men laughed. Qin Bai's shot was already very generous, and it was basically nearly twice as expensive as the ordinary burial decoction, and these people here were very satisfied, after all, the dead and injured were all these people's younger brothers.
After another toast together, Qin Bai finally talked about what everyone was most concerned about: "Brothers, now we have the territory of Laizhou City, as well as the five shops in Nansanfang, plus the Mengxian Residence here. I'll leave all of this territory to you. Whichever place you want, you can open it up here. ”
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Wu on the other side was a little strange: "Second Brother Bai, what about yourself?" ”
Qin Bai smiled slightly: "The mines of Xiaohongling and Shanglin Village, I am going to merge them into one. Also, I'm going to build a new workshop there. Here I want to make it clear that what I do is all right, and it's all serious business. I will not force you, brothers, but you can share the territory with me, or you can choose the territory. In the future, no one can guarantee who will take more and less. And even if it is a serious business, just like an iron mine, there will still be fights in the rivers and lakes, and it may not be very stable. You also need to be able to work, and the more you do, the more you can get. ”
Here, Qin Bai began to secretly guide the diversion. And many gangs on the rivers and lakes are often disposable. When you make a fortune and get the land, there is little motivation. This is why the aforementioned Huidang revolution has failed. It is for this reason that Xiaofu is safe, and there is no motivation to continue.
And a lumpenproletarian like this has a really pitiful background, but as long as he can get ahead and mix well, most of them will not look back. Accustomed to oppressing the good, lazy and disgusting, he has no heart to work diligently. Therefore, those famous generals of all dynasties have always liked to use good families, but they don't like these brave and fighting rangers.
That's right, Qin Bai is ready to give up some people, as long as they choose to divide the territory. Of course, there will definitely be people who are disgusted with the life of the rivers and lakes. For these people, Qin Bai will not give up, and will work with them.
In Qin Bai's vision, he will slowly wash his white, and his main energy will be on the right line in the future. As for the bad things on the rivers and lakes, he will slowly hide behind the scenes, at most he will give money to support, and he will not come out casually.
