Chapter 39: Xiaohong
"Continue to ask for tickets and collections, the books that run naked can't hurt, it all depends on everyone's support to have a bright future, please!"
…… Dividing line ......
"Fourth Uncle Zhao, I wonder if you can count and write?" Back to the bandits' Juyi Hall, Yang Wenli stood on the throne of the head of the hall and asked Zhao Lao Sidao, who was sitting first on the left hand.
"How can the little old man understand this? I haven't read a book, and I don't know a single word. Zhao Laosi replied with a guilty face.
"That's troublesome, there must always be someone in the cottage who keeps accounts, so I have to see who else can write?" Yang Wenli couldn't help frowning and said.
In ancient times, the literacy rate was very low, and the vast majority of people were illiterate, let alone bookkeeping, and Yang Wenli was not very hopeful of finding someone who could keep accounts in the cottage.
While he was distressed, Yang Rentian came back to his life.
"Big boss, I have already placed those women, it is a separate courtyard, which used to be the residence of the second master."
"Hmmm! Very good! You're just in time, and then help me interrogate all the people in the cottage to see who can keep accounts, I need such talents. ”
"Big boss, I'm afraid there is little hope, the bandits' military advisor has already executed us." Yang Rentian replied with great embarrassment.
"Go and ask! What if there is? Oh! That's right! You also ask about the women who were captured by the bandits, there may be a few ladies who have read books, not necessarily? ”
Yang Wenli is a blind man fishing and caught one by one, and even those poor victim women have made up their minds.
Not to mention, there really is one, that is, the girl named Xiaohong who is less courageous. Yang Rentian received the order of his own young master, he didn't ask those bandit slaves at all, he knew that it was impossible. It was the young master who proposed to ask those hard-working women, and he thought there was still a little hope.
So Yang Rentian went straight to the courtyard where he had just arranged for those women to live.
At this time, the door of the courtyard was closed by them, and Yang Rentian knocked heavily a few times.
"Who? Can I help you? Yang Rentian's knock on the door startled the girl in the yard, and a bold girl dared to ask.
"Sisters, I am Yang Rentian, who arranged for you to live here just now, and the big boss wants me to ask you, which of you will keep accounts and make books?" Yang Rentian's simple future intentions were made clear.
The girl in the courtyard may have been talking in a whisper, and it took half a cup of tea before someone replied: "Yes, yes, but if you come and tell us, it is inconvenient for us to talk to you." ”
Yang Rentian's expression was very cold, and the girls were a little afraid of him, but Yang Rentian was just a messenger and couldn't make a decision, so the girls didn't want to talk to him.
"Fuck" Yang Rentian scolded in a low voice, and then turned around and went back to his life. If someone else told him that, he would definitely give him a good look.
He doesn't like these twisted styles the most, he likes to kill decisively and act vigorously, so he admires the young master the most, and has always regarded him as an idol.
Yang Rentian went back to talk to Yang Wenli, and Yang Wenli couldn't help laughing: "Okay! As long as someone can write and keep accounts, what's the harm if I go there? ”
He was really happy, and when he walked over with Yang Rentian, his steps were brisk, and he walked with the wind. In ancient times, it was really difficult to find a literate person, and it was impossible for those pedantic scholars to follow him, the bandit master, so it could be said that the woman who could write and keep accounts was his only helper.
Yes, arm help, it can definitely be said that any army has a secretary, even a bandit has a master, so it can be seen that a person who keeps accounts and books is indispensable.
"Knock knock" arrived at the gate, Yang Wenli also knocked three times with the iron ring on the door, and then shouted loudly to the courtyard: "Sisters, I'm here, please open the door!" ”
The "squeak" gate opened in response, and when Yang Wenli raised his feet and walked into the courtyard, the twenty or so women saluted him together: "Big boss"
"Sisters, excuse me." Yang Wenli said politely with both hands.
"I wonder which sister can write and keep accounts? Cottage Gangke, there are a lot of trivial things, I urgently need a helper who can keep accounts, and I also ask my sister to help! After the salute, Yang Wenli bowed deeply with his hands and was willing to pray.
"It's our sister Xiaohong, her father is Xiucai, she has learned a little culture from her father since she was a child, and it is no problem to keep accounts and make books. But the big boss, the little woman took the liberty to say that since ancient times, there has never been a woman who has been a bookkeeper, and my sister is probably helpless. One of the oldest of the women came out and said to him.
"Definitely! Definitely! There are a few sisters, and I have always been above board, so I'll tell you the truth! There are no idlers in my cottage, and anyone with sound hands and feet must create wealth by his own labor.
You are fortunate because you are commoners, so the wealth you create is completely your own, and I will not tax you a penny.
The bandits whom I have reduced to slavery are different, they are my slaves, they cannot create wealth themselves, and all the value of their labor must be handed over except for the part necessary for their own life.
But at the same time, you are not allowed to farm, because I have turned all the land under my jurisdiction into military land, and only soldiers and their families will own it.
Therefore, you can only do other work besides farming, such as spinning and weaving, raising silkworms, or providing services to other people for a fee.
So Sister Xiaohong, who is literate and hyphenated, she keeps accounts and books for me, and also has a good salary, and it is also a job to support the family, and it is not so important if there is a difference between men and women. Yang Wenli said at length, the central idea is that there is income from labor, not to support idlers.
Yang Wenli's words can be said to be a bolt from the blue! It has caused a great impact on the girls, the cottage does not support idlers, and anyone has to work to support themselves.
Women are naturally weak and must rely on their families or husbands to survive, and now Yang Wenli clearly told them that they should find jobs to make money and support themselves, how can they be weak women for a while?
But the girl named Xiaohong was secretly happy in her heart, she was different from other sisters, she was educated, as long as she promised the big boss, she would immediately have an idle job with a high salary, is there anything better than this?
The more those women thought about it, the more anxious they became, they couldn't help crying, tears splashed down like bead chains, Yang Wenli saw this kind of scene, and hurriedly comforted them: "Sisters, don't worry, I don't completely care about your life and death."
I will arrange work for you according to your strengths, for example, if someone is good at cooking, I will arrange for her to cook, and if someone is good at weaving, I will arrange her to weave, in short, each of you, I will arrange a job according to your strengths.
It's just that there are high and low jobs, and the salaries are naturally different, and I ask for my sisters' understanding! ”
