Chapter 306: His mother didn't know him either
The fat man's face was full of meat, he didn't look like a good person at first glance, and he was not afraid when he saw Li Dongsheng: "My lord, it doesn't matter who we are, the workers here are all found by us, let's not take a little management fee." 35xsā
"Who are you, I ask? Why come here to collect money? Li Dongsheng suppressed the fire in his heart and continued to ask lightly.
"We belong to the Kong family in Qufu, and we opened a salt farm here, and you are a small county order, and you have recruited workers so generously, and you have attracted all the workers of our salt farm, and our Kong family has suffered losses, so it is reasonable to find them to take money to make up for the losses."
Li Dongsheng was amused by their shameless remarks: "Oh, because I give a high salary, so you workers come to me to work, and you come to collect money?" Who gave you the guts? ā
"We are from the Kong family, don't you know that you are a scholar? If you don't let us go, don't let our master give you a copy in the court, and your official hat will be gone. The fat man saw that Li Dongsheng was a teenager, and he was even more bold: "You know that our Confucian family is a thousand-year-old family, a holy place for scholars in the world, you can apologize to us if you know each other, otherwise the news will reach Qufu, can you bear the consequences?" ā
"Amazing, it turns out that the Kong family is all such a thing, and they actually collected money and received it from my head." Li Dongsheng smiled: "Call me, beat them until their mother can't recognize them, and then send me to the Kong family's salt farm, I want to see how awesome the thousand-year-old family is." 35xsā
Wang San was surrounded by so many people, punched and kicked, and he had already held back his anger. After listening to Li Dongsheng's words, he jumped up, and went to the fat man with a fatal scissor kick, and the rest of the people also rushed up, and the fat man shouted: "You dare to beat our Kong family, don't you want to die?" Slowly it becomes "a kind of heads-up", "don't slap your face", "don't fight", "spare your life"!
Wait until Li Dongsheng shouted: "They collect your money, and you actually look at it like this, don't you take this opportunity to go up and fight?" By the time Li Dongsheng estimated that he was almost shouting to stop, dozens of people had already been beaten and dying, all with blue noses and swollen faces, and their clothes were covered with footprints and mud.
In the fat man's resentful eyes, Li Dongsheng said: "Tie them all up for me, and take me to their salt field tomorrow to see what kind of powerful person dares to beat my money." ā
The migrant workers who had just vented with the county magistrate were now like gods to Li Dongsheng's words, and immediately started tying dozens of people like rice dumplings and throwing them to the ground, Jin Rong said: "Throw them here, open their clothes, and feed the mosquitoes." ā
This vicious idea was unanimously praised by the majority of bullied migrant workers, and dozens of people were naked on the beach, the sea breeze blowing, mosquito bites, and their screams were heard. Wang San was afraid of killing people, so he took them all to the camp at night and took good care of them.
The next morning, when Li Dongsheng saw them again, the sour, dense phobia people couldn't even look at it, Li Dongsheng also felt a burst of nausea, and waved his hand: "Let's go." ā
A group of people set off towards the Kong family's salt farm. The distance is also thirty miles, and Jin Rong also knows that his county order does not know much about the situation. reported to him the situation of the Kong family.
The Confucian family has been passed down from generation to generation since the Han Dynasty, and now there are tens of thousands of descendants, and the family has many things to need, so they have sent many subordinates or relatives to various places to procure affairs. The most important source of income for the Confucian government was land rent. The real estate of Confucius includes the "sacrificial field" and "study field" allocated by the state, the real estate owned by the Confucian government, and the "rouge land" brought by the duchess of Yansheng in the past dynasties. The sacrificial field is land allocated by the state and is exempt from all government taxes. Theoretically, all the income from the sacrificial fields should be used for the expenses of the Confucian temple sacrifices, but a large part of it was also used to maintain the life of the Yan Shenggong family.
Laizhou is the salt production area of the Kong family, and they do not pay taxes for their own salt farms, and they also deduct the wages of workers, everyone's opinions are very big, but there is no way, the Kong family is a behemoth, and they can only swallow their anger.
Two hours later, I arrived at the territory of the Kong family, and I saw the black smoke rushing into the sky from a long distance, turning the reeds, and sure enough, the big family had a grand pie, and the scene was very shocking, and dozens of acres of land were boiling salt.
Jin Rong said: "My lord, you know how powerful the Kong family is, this is just one of the Kong family's salt farms, and it is also one of their industries." ā
Seeing so many people coming, the salt field was also very nervous, so I heard a few drums, and then a large number of people gathered and came in the direction of Li Dongsheng and them. Wan San said: "The management is very strict, so many people can be gathered in such a short time." ā
"Who are you?" A middle-aged man obviously saw Li Dongsheng's official robe, but asked something like this: "What do so many people want to do when they come to our Kong family's salt farm?" ā
"Steward Kong, help." As soon as the fat man saw the middle-aged man, it was like a lost child seeing his mother, and he immediately struggled.
"You are so bold, you dare to kidnap our Kong family."
"You are bold, you don't bow when you see the county commander, is this the family style of the Kong family? What about the etiquette you learned? Jin Rong scolded loudly, this occasion must not be led to come forward and lose his position.
"We will punish our Kong family for making mistakes, how can you use lynching to beat people like this." The middle-aged man reluctantly came over and saluted Li Dongsheng, without saying anything.
"May I ask you, the Kong family, is now above the imperial court? Your Kong family went to our salt factory to collect fees, and you actually started the project organized by the county government, was it you who instructed you? ā
The Kong family has been arrogant for a long time, the world was in turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but the rebel army did not dare to go to Qufu anywhere, there was no trouble for the government to find the Kong family for decades, and they were also used to the days without the government.
The middle-aged man didn't dare to carry this pot: "My lord, this is really not my order, I want to ask what the hell is going on." ā
In front of so many people, the fat man didn't dare to lie, so he told 1510 about taking people to the salt factory to collect workers' protection money. The middle-aged man's face flushed: "Bastard, you bastard, you killed us, you smeared the face of the Kong family." Then he looked up and said: "My lord, we know that we are wrong, how much money he took, our Kong family will return it twice, please let them go." ā
Li Dongsheng compared the number of people on both sides: "Since Steward Kong admitted his mistake and gave compensation, then the official will give the Kong family a face, and this matter will be settled." But I don't want to see anything like this happen again in the future, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. ā
"Definitely"
