Chapter Seventy-Seven: Collecting Customers
Zheng Li was going out to call someone, and his comrades were staying in the courtyard.
Wei Renshi didn't leave, and after Zheng Lizheng left, he stepped forward, raised his hand to the leading Shi boss, and asked, "How many of them are Uncle Zheng's comrades!" ”
Boss Shi nodded and said, "Brother who was born and died." That's all we have left for this fire. ”
This Wei Renshi can understand.
In each of the Tang Army, the commander of the Zhichong Prefecture was the chief, and the two Guoyi Lieutenants on the left and right were the deputies, and they had jurisdiction over four to six regiments. Each regiment has two or three hundred men, and there is a lieutenant under its jurisdiction. Under the regiment, there are two brigades, each with 100 people, and the brigade commander leads it. Each brigade has two teams, each with 50 people, and the team is set up to lead them. Each team is divided into five fires, with ten people per fire, and the fire is long.
It seems that this stone boss is the fire chief of this fire.
This person should be capable, and there are still five people who have left the ranks alive at the moment of his fire, which shows that he is leading well.
Wei Renshi said again: "If I guess correctly, several of them have suffered a disaster at home and can't go on, so they came to join Uncle Zheng, right?" ”
Boss Shi and those people didn't say a word, their faces turned away, and they looked ashamed.
"A few of them are good men, just down for a while, and there is no need to be embarrassed." Wei Renshi said: "However, Uncle Zheng is alone, and it is all because he has a brother who is a layman and often receives help, so he can get by." I think that several heroes don't want to let Uncle Zheng raise them all, do they? ”
"That's nature, we have hands and feet, how can we let the big head feed?" Boss Shi shook his head: "I came to the big head, I also want to do something with him." ”
"Although so-and-so is missing a foot, the strength in his hand is very great." One of them picked up and said, "If the head brother has something to assign to us, he can handle it well." ”
Wei Renshi nodded and said, "I think so, they are all good men, and they won't come until they have to." ”
Boss Shi turned his head to stare at Wei Renshi, and said, "This little Langjun is worried about the big head." Xiao Langjun rest assured, the foundation of several of us is clean, and we have not committed any trouble. Originally, after we came back from the army, we all had some fields, and we all got by. But one day when he was hit by a disaster, he couldn't pay the taxes set by the state officials, so he had to sell his land. Without land, he can only work as a hired farmer with others, and there are too many miscellaneous taxes, and the owner can only make efforts to apportion, and after planting for a year, he still can't pay even a ration left. I had no choice but to flee the famine. ”
"How many of them are?" Wei Renshi asked in surprise.
He knew that in this era, the Tang Dynasty was already sunset, and chaos was frequent. But at this time, it was also the end of Zhenyuan, close to Yuanhe, and there was Yuanhe Zhongxing in history, so it was expected to be better. I didn't expect it to be so dark.
"Corrupt officials are in charge!" One of them gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Sooner or later, these corrupt officials will stir up trouble!" ”
"Dog two! Be careful! Boss Shi hurriedly reprimanded.
The man also reacted, and quickly stopped talking.
Although Wei Renshi has the heart to accept them as guests, he can't just rely on their own empty words, he still has to ask Zheng Lizheng about their character.
So I didn't ask any more questions at the moment, said goodbye, and went back to my home.
The next day it was sunny, and the sun showed its head early in the morning.
The families of Changgu have been notified and are ready.
Now the villagers of Changgu have no doubt about Wei Renshi's words, Wei Renshi said that it was a sunny day, and they had prepared it last night, and this morning before dawn, they had already transported the wheat to the wheat field and spread it out and waited for the sun to come out.
After exposure to the sun, the wheat grains are easier to detach and it is easier to threak the wheat.
Fortunately, after the morning, the wheat stalks dried up, and in the afternoon, the wheat field was full of the sound of wheat.
Wei Renshi's family is also working hard to threw wheat.
Although Wei Renshi helped everyone so much, his family's land had already been farmed by the village, and the wheat was also cut for them by people from the village.
However, when threshing wheat, each family must first make its own house, and Mrs. Tai does not want to be idle and wait for others to replace her.
But wielding the flail is really heavy, Wei Renshi only slapped it seven or eight times, and his arm trembled, and he couldn't lift the flail.
Mrs. Tai herself slapped the wheat on the ground with a flail, and she was also sweating, gritting her teeth and persevering.
It's too inconsistent with the dignified image on weekdays!
Wei Renshi shook his head and turned his head to find Zheng Lizheng.
"Uncle Zheng, where are your comrades? They don't have any land here anyway, so why don't I hire them to help my family thresh the wheat? Wei Renshi found Zheng Lizheng and asked.
"What's the panic, a certain family will go over later." Zheng Lizheng smiled and said, "Go and let your aunt rest, don't worry about these things." I will definitely send back your wheat harvest. ”
"What is the conduct of those people?" Wei Renshi suddenly asked.
Zheng Lizheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why does Wei Langjun ask that?" ”
"My family needs labor now, and they need to make ends meet." Wei Renshi said: "I see that Boss Shi still has a little doll, which looks a little similar to him, but the age difference is too big, I guess it's his grandson, right?" His grandson is young, and it is the time when he is growing up to be physical, and he cannot endure suffering. Isn't that what you need? ”
"Wei Langjun means that he wants to give them to ......" Zheng Lizheng probably guessed Wei Renshi's plan.
Wei Renshi nodded and said, "I want to accept them as dealers." In the future, when I reorganize my family business, I may be able to become my family's nursing home. I just don't know how to behave. ”
Zheng Lizheng laughed, but after laughing, he sighed again, and said: "They are all capable people, if they have bad conduct, they will not be like today." ”
"Good! I believe in Uncle Zheng. Wei Renshi nodded: "Then ask Uncle Zheng to help me get through them." They have come to be my farmers, and although my family does not have much land to plant for them at the moment, I can give them the land to cultivate when I have completely bought the wasteland and improved it. Until then, they helped my family with their labor, and I paid them. Later, when I gave them the land, I only needed 20% of the harvest, and when I needed them to help me with the work, I would also be paid another salary. How do I pay my salary, Uncle Zheng, you know that I will never treat them badly. ”
"Thank you, Wei Langjun, for helping me." Zheng Lizheng sighed and said, "Then I will also give Wei Langjun a guarantee, these people can definitely be relied on." As long as Wei Langjun treats them well, they will give you their lives. ”
"Then ask Uncle Zheng to help me get through them." Wei Renshi said solemnly to Zheng Lizheng.
"I was forced to find me when I was cornered." Zheng Lizheng shook his head and said, "They will agree." ”
