Section 76 Sweet Harbor Storm - Buying

Chen Tianxiong saw that this ancient "worker leader" was as white as earth, and he felt a great sense of contempt in his heart, thinking that this person could mobilize hundreds of workers at all, and he was still a character, but he didn't expect it to be so unbearable. It seems that Xiao Zhanfeng said that he has a "hard mouth and crispy bones", which is not bad.

"You get up and speak," Chen Tianxiong was a little disgusted, "South China also knows the suffering of your sugar workers. Therefore, I will make friends with you, and don't hurt each other. ”

As soon as Lin Zhuang heard the meaning of the other party's words, he would not take his life, so he finally came back to his senses and savored the words of the old man, it seemed that this matter still had to be discussed, and replied carefully:

"You old Mingjian! Our workers in the sugar house were originally to make a living by eating a day and not being able to flood their feet, but now everyone has cut off the way to come, and many people are tired of their families, so it is really difficult to make a living, so they have to accept the silver of Zhu Sanye in order to make a living, and there is nothing that cannot be done with South China......"

He is still shrewd, and never mentions that the sugar houses in southern China are crowded and the workers are unemployed. lest they anger the other party.

Chen Tianxiong was silent to see how he continued.

"As for the rumored sugar workers outside to make trouble in South China, there is absolutely no such thing, this, I dare to pat my chest."

"So, it's rumored that the masters of the sugar liao are going to burn incense and swear to fight South China?"

"Prepare to burn incense, there is." Lin Zhuang knew that this matter could never be denied, so he had to be sloppy in the key place, "But it's not like the legend!" It's just that everyone is in a group and can tide over the difficulties, not specifically to deal with South China. ”

These words can barely bridge the gap, but Chen Tianxiong has no intention of arguing with him about right and wrong - it doesn't matter if this matter is right or wrong.

"The people in Tangliao have fallen to this step of the field, and they also have a responsibility in South China. I sigh for this every time and say I'm sorry for everyone! In order to remedy, we are now willing to accept you to work in the factory, as long as you can do things, regardless of men and women, young and old, all develop a salary. Since you are the leader, I will make the decision for him, and after the matter is completed, I will give you a single reward. What do you think?

These words were very clear, and Lin Zhuang still had a sense of abruptness, but the meaning of these words was clear. South China is willing to let unemployed sugar workers into the factory. This is of course a great good thing for everyone, at least the livelihood of these hundreds of people is guaranteed, and I have an explanation for everyone.

But this is a good thing for everyone, but not necessarily for himself. Once everyone is in the factory, what else do you want him to do? Naturally, all the benefits of the current one are gone. Besides, he took more than 200 taels of silver from Zhu Sanye, and now he didn't do what he promised Zhu Sanye, but turned to South China, isn't it a standard "anti-bone boy"? South China is not easy to mess with, and Zhu Sanye is not easy to mess with.

This time, I couldn't help but hesitate and didn't dare to agree.

"What, you're worried?" Chen Tianxiong looked at his expression, knew what he was thinking, didn't say anything first, and let him say his plan.

"Master Chen, you old Mingjian! This is naturally a great good thing for our workers in the sugar house. But I wish the third master a warm heart, he has been helping everyone for the past two months, I am afraid that when I go back, everyone will not listen to my ......"

Chen Tianxiong laughed: "Joke." If you don't eat white rice in South China, you have to eat Haiyitang's moldy old rice? Is there such a righteous person in the world? ”

Lin Zhuang can't say if he has bitterness, I wish the third master the money allocated to him, it may not be okay to eat white rice for everyone, white rice porridge is still okay, but he has embezzled more than half of it himself, and he can only buy the cheapest moldy old rice. If the workers had an opinion, he deduced that Haiyitang would give little money, so he could only starve to death. Therefore, Zhu Sanye does not necessarily have a high status in the hearts of the workers.

Now, if I go back and tell you, most of the workers are naturally willing to go to South China, so Zhu Sanye can't explain it anyway. Even if you don't want him to look good, if you want him to spit out all the money, you can force him to die.

Lin Zhuang looked at Zhou Shizhai and then at Chen Tianxiong, rolling his eyes, but he couldn't answer.

Just when he hesitated, he suddenly felt a light in his eyes - Chen Tianxiong put the small box he brought with him today on the table, and lifted the lid: inside were rows of neatly stacked foreign coins, all of which were revealed-exposed-, clusters of brand new, silver shining, and a pile of scattered silver, a few "medium ingots". It is estimated to be about 100 taels, which goes without saying, and is ready to send it to himself.

"This is 500 pieces of 'double-pillared' silver," Chen Tianxiong said, "and there are nearly 400 taels of silver." It is regarded as a settling-in allowance for unemployed workers in South China. The recruitment will be sent out as soon as it is completed, and you will be given a personal gift of one hundred taels. ”

It is one thing to say the number in the mouth, but it is another thing to put the real silver in front of you. Chen Tianxiong knew that nothing could move people's hearts as much as real money delivered in front of him. These hundreds of dollars are specially prepared for this use. He was very patient and let Lin Zhuang think about it.

"You don't have to force anything." Chen Tianxiong spoke, "If you have any difficulties, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Oh,...... Yes, it's ......" Lin Zhuang woke up like a dream.

In the end, he was also mixed in the rivers and lakes, and he made another statement in the blink of an opinion:

"Master Chen!" He put on a very sincere look, "Please be considerate! Since I was entrusted by the workers in the sugar house, I had to find a way out for them properly. Now South China is willing to accept them to work. I am grateful, I thank you in advance on behalf of my workers! As he spoke, he bowed to the ground, and then the conversation changed, "It's just that I, the person in the middle, have many difficulties. Don't tell lies in front of real people, I wish the third master a certain explanation, otherwise he will lose his face, and I can't afford to be a little fireworker! ”

"What's the problem, just say it!" Chen Tianxiong expected that he was probably trying to get more personal benefits for himself.

"Yes, I just ask your owner to be considerate," he said, "I swear to burn incense at the Zou Monk Temple tomorrow, and please continue to ...... as allowed."

"Oh, and then?" Chen Tianxiong was noncommittal.

"Burning incense is just a scene, prevaricate to Zhu Sanye's side, lest he be embarrassed, it is a delaying tactic, and the small one will go to the workers to say goodbye. When the time is ripe, the small self will send someone to give the news, and Guidong will send one or two competent people to recruit workers directly. It's just—" he whispered, "The little one won't be able to mix in Xu Wen in the future, so I have to ask Guidong to reward a few travel expenses......"

Lin Zhuang's words sound comprehensive and reasonable. In fact, it is still a set of delaying tactics of stepping on two boats. His abacus was: to prevaricate Haiyitang by burning incense and swearing, and here he first collected money from South China and made an empty wish to South China. Then I revealed a little wind to Zhu Sanye: said that South China was trying to "recruit" unemployed workers by recruiting workers. Zhu Sanye naturally had to spend money to let him calm the scene. In this way, although sooner or later there will be a time to goof, but it is mixed for a while, it is really not good, and the bag is gone.

This little scheming naturally can't hide from Chen Tianxiong.

"It is absolutely impossible to burn incense and swear." Chen Tianxiong immediately vetoed it, and although burning incense and swearing was a ritual, it was a clear statement by the Tangliao workers that they were enemies of South China. Since then, South China has been so hard that it is bullying others, and it is so soft that it is falling, and it is extremely passive.

"If it's not allowed, the little one can't explain it to the third master of Zhu, and please be considerate of Guidong and reward the small one for a way to live!"

Chen Tianxiong snorted: "Master Lin! I advise you to think about it and not to think about the trick of stepping on two boats. He sneered, "I want to see that the workers in the sugar house are unemployed and pitiful, and we want to give them a way to live." Since you don't want to. Take someone to burn incense and swear an oath, just go. South China is not in the way. ”

Lin Zhuang was in a hurry, if Chen Tianxiong really had to walk away, there would be no way to undo it. Once the fight starts, he will become a pawn of Haiyitang, no matter who wins or loses, whether he can be taken care of by Zhu Sanye or not, it depends on his conscience.

"Well, let's talk about it! Talk again! ”

"It's okay if you don't discuss it." Chen Tianxiong suddenly smiled and closed the silver box as he spoke. "I also know that your brother is running outside, so I'll tell you quickly." Chen Tianxiong said, "I just need to ask you for a word." Okay, or no? ”

The foreign money spent in vain is equivalent to having been put away, and it seems that just waiting for his own words, the matter will be settled. In such a situation, I gave up easily, and I always felt that I couldn't bear it, so I replied without hesitation: "I'll figure it out." This will be done. ”

"Okay, happy!" Chen Tianxiong knew that he had fallen into the trap, "I Dong said: since you are recruiting, you must have a roster, and you will have a settlement fee when you enter the factory." The settling-in fee is naturally distributed by you, brother, we don't ask. I just don't know if your brother can give a list out? ”

Roster, he naturally has. This is the cost of eating in Lin Zhuang. Zhu Sanye also looked at the roster at the beginning, knowing that he had hundreds of people in his hands to use, so he was willing to give him silver. This old man Chen's name is to calculate the settling-in fee, but in fact, it mostly depends on how much strength he has. It's better to haode-revea. In addition, all money such as salaries and settling-in allowances will be given to the handler by 28 hidden deductions. Lin Zhuang naturally knew. So I was very excited and hurriedly said:

"Yes, there is, but there is only one book in the roster, and someone has to find someone to copy ......it."

"No problem," Chen Tianxiong replied very simply, "I have Master Shuqi here." ”

"That's good," said Lin Zhuang took out a cloth bag of wool-blue cloth from his bosom, and opened it carefully, and inside was a tattered protective book, sandwiched between a book-of-wool-edge paper-like thing, on which was written "One heart and one virtue".

"This is the roster, which was originally obtained when I filed a complaint with the county government," Mr. Lin said, "and the name was written by the ghostwriter, but each one was followed by a fingerprint." ”

Looking at the booklet, greasy and dirty, I opened it, and sure enough, it was lined with names. Behind each name is densely packed with red fingerprints, and the capital, map, and village where the individual's household registration is located are also written. Some of the names are followed by jobs such as "boiling sugar" and "burning fire". It should be a real roster that is not fake.

"There were one hundred and seventy-four people in all. There were also two dozen apprentices who had nowhere to go and did not make the book. ”

"Wait a moment, and I'll order someone to copy it down." As he spoke, he handed over the bottom book to Xiao Zhanfeng next door and asked him to copy it down immediately.

Xiao Zhanfeng carried the ink cartridge with him and immediately started to copy. In order not to sit bored. Chen Tianxiong simply asked someone to send a few pots of wine and seven or eight snacks, and pulled Lin Zhuang to drink. perfunctory him, and also heard a lot of things about Zhu Sanye and Haiyitang from his mouth.

The wine was drunk, and the roster was copied. Chen Tianxiong handed back the book as it was. Say:

"Go back and think about it. Early the day after tomorrow, I'll hear from you! As he spoke, an ingot, which was about fifty taels, was pushed in front of him, "You take these fifty taels first." ”

Lin Zhuang was overjoyed for a moment, but he still wanted to be polite in his mouth: "There is no such rule!" ”

"The rules are set by people, and my rules have always been like this, you took the fifty taels of silver first, and you have the strength to do things for me."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Lin Zhuang was already speechless.

The matter has been done, there is no need to stay here, the three of them left Ai's sister-in-law's house and went back to Dachang Rice. Xiao Zhanfeng asked, "Is this Lin Zhuang reliable?" ”

"Naturally, it's unreliable." Chen Tianxiong said, "But I still have an ambush waiting for him." As soon as he returned to the Zou Monk Temple, he saw his face. ”

"What if he doesn't go back? You gave him fifty taels of silver, and you might be here again. ”

"Now is his life and death, he can't go back and think about it?" Chen Tianxiong is very sure, "Gambling money prostitutes-prostitutes-I'm afraid it's all gone." ”

He stopped and said, "Zhanfeng, I don't think you need to go home, live in South China." We just lack a case manager who can handle Wenmo. If you are given a few taels of silver every month, you will be considered to have a landing. ”

"Thank you for the bother." Xiao Zhanfeng politely declined, "However, it's better for me to stay comfortable now, it's easier to say or do anything." ”

Chen Tianxiong was right when he thought about it, he thought it through.

"You can use the silver first." Chen Tianxiong saw that he was really embarrassed, although he rejected him once yesterday, he still took out some scattered silver taels, "I'll lend it to you!" ”

"Don't, don't." Xiao Zhanfeng still shook his head, "It's not that I'm hypocritical!" Now is not the time to take your money! When the time comes to come out to speak, people say that I took your money, not only do I not speak, but even if I say what I said before, people only think that I am a fart! ”

"No one knows about it." Chen Tianxiong disagreed.

"God knows, you know and I know, what is ignorance!" Xiao Zhanfeng said angrily, "The eldest husband is alive, he is doing right, and he is standing upright." Yes is yes, no is no. ”

"Okay, then I won't force it." Chen Tianxiong couldn't help but have a sincere admiration for this old intellectual.

"But your current situation, food and clothing are worried, you can't bother Aunt Liu every day."
