Chapter 16 Wholesale of the Population (1)
Seeing the big customers entering the market, a group of tooth whirlwinds quickly surrounded them. Zhu Pingjin nodded, and Sun Hong dismounted to meet them and talked to them.
"The master said that as long as a Sichuan man between the ages of 14 and 17 has no criminal record, no hidden disease, no close relatives, and is brave." Sun Hong ignored the chatter around him, nor did he exchange business cards with each other, but directly said the standard of buying people today. This is the selection criterion clearly specified by Zhu Pingjin yesterday when he arranged for Sun Hong to be the chief negotiator of the buyer. Because Sun Hong's request was sudden, Zhu Pingjin didn't think it through, so he had an idea and sandwiched a joke between the selection criteria.
Some sighing sounds sounded around Sun Hong.
looks like a scholar, who knows that he is a subordinate, then the master family in his mouth must be either rich or expensive. A middle-aged toothman reacted quickly, and immediately stepped forward and said, "How many people does Childe want?" ”
"At least three hundred!"
The sound of sighing was gone, replaced by the sound of inhaling.
Zhu Pingjin chose men between the ages of 14 and 17 on the grounds that by the 17th year of Chongzhen, that is, three or four years later, these men would be between 17 and 21 years old. Assuming that the war lasts for another four or five years from the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the age of this group of people will also be between twenty-two and twenty-six years old, which will not be too big. Zhu Pingjin once read a material in the work of supporting the army and supporting their families, saying that the People's Liberation Army conducts physical fitness tests, and soldiers between the ages of 20 and 22 have the best physical fitness, and when they are older than this age, their physical fitness begins to decline, so the People's Liberation Army recruits soldiers first to recruit men who have reached the age of 18 and have graduated from high school to join the army, so as to ensure that their physical fitness is always maintained at the peak throughout the entire service period. However, when Zhu Pingjin set this age standard, he ignored an important issue, which is the proportion of males in the total population in this age group.
The middle-aged Yayu arched his hand again and said: "Since your lord's family only needs a lonely person (a person without relatives), then dare to ask the son what is the use of buying people?" ”
"Split rocks and repair roads; Thousands of miles to protect the business trip! Sun Hong didn't pick a good one.
This time it's a whoa.
The middle-aged Yayu didn't panic, but still arched his hand and said: "What Childe said is all dangerous and abnormal things. I don't know if someone is dead, disabled, or injured, can your lord's family give a pension? Can you manage the food and clothes of the slaves? Can there be a day off in a year? ”
Hey? Traffickers are also concerned with working conditions and benefits. Zhu Pingjin became interested, so he asked in front of the horse, "Who are you?" What does that mean? ”
It seems that this is the main owner of the buyer. Zhu Pingjian, who was tall on the horse, had a domineering aura, but the middle-aged Yayu was not suppressed: "The little one is not talented, his surname is Bao Mingzhong, when this Yayu has a certificate issued by the government." What the little one asks, it's the small rule. The wealthy home of the official gentry, bought people back, and the purpose is different. Some are domestic servants, some are shop servants, some are village slaves, and some generals are bought to be domestic servants and personal followers. The small ones should be asked clearly in advance, so as not to go back and use the dead, and the relatives and neighbors will report to the officials and cause trouble. As soon as there are too many such things, the reputation of the small ones in the industry will collapse, and their jobs will be ruined. ”
A group of toothymen nodded their heads in agreement. Zhu Pingjin didn't expect that there would be so much attention to buying a person, it seems that the phrase 'there is a specialization in the art industry' is correct, so he thought for a while before saying: "Bao Ya Yu is thoughtful, what are the rules for buying people, you might as well explain it to Mr. Sun in advance." As for how to use it by the person who bought it, this son can explain it to Bao Yayu now. These people bought it back and used it on the road from Ya'an to Tusi in the west, building roads, protecting merchants, and transiting them, so what my son wanted was those young men who were not afraid of death, had courage, and were disciplined. Bao Ya Yu can make it clear to the seller that the buyer of this son will be for a period of ten years from the date of filing with the government. At the expiration of the period, it will be released to each family, and it will be kept voluntarily for another discussion. Eat three meals a day, each tube is full, once a month tooth sacrifice, add vegetables and meat; Spring and autumn clothes for each person; The salary is at least one tael per month, and those who are promoted to the head of the team will be raised according to their ranks. Half of the money is given to the individual pocket money, and half is kept by the proprietor, so as not to spend the money for drinking and gambling, and the woman will be returned once after the expiration of ten years. Anyone who dies for his son will be responsible for burning and burying him; Disabled, injured and sick, this son is responsible for healing. If the disability is light, my son will arrange light work for him to do. If he is too disabled, this son will support him for the rest of his life. As for the days of rest, in addition to holidays, there are three days off per month, that is, one day off every 10 days. If you don't take a break because of the matter, find another time to make up for the ......"
Zhu Pingjin said it clearly and bluntly, which suppressed Bao Yayu. The other party did not avoid the death and disability, what he said was clear, and it was clear how to deal with it after the accident. The salary is not high, and it is rare that the food tube is full and the clothes are warm. Meals are full, at least four or five stone of grain per person a year, the market price is at least eight or nine taels of silver, plus two seasons of clothes and twelve taels of wages, and it will not be less than twenty taels a year. This wage standard is not low in the current years of war and chaos. Xiu Mu just asked casually, what's important? Bao Yayu thought about it and felt that this treatment was reasonable in all aspects. As for these homeless people to be sold, if they have something to eat, they are the ancestors who have accumulated virtue, and they dare to pick and choose? Not coming? There are so many people who want to come! So Bao Yayu made up his mind to do this business, but he ......
Bao Yayu looked embarrassed and said, "The son is benevolent and righteous, and the little one understands." But the standard of buying people is really difficult for the little ones. ”
Zhu Pingjin asked why it was difficult?
Bao Yayu hurriedly explained: "There are men between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, but there is only one out of ten, and the rest are either young, old, or female, or frail; No guilt, no hidden disease, these two items, each merchant has also tested when buying, several families who come out to flee together, and each other must be guaranteed; It's just that there are no relatives, and the small ones are really difficult to do. Bao Yayu then explained: "If there is a relative alive, if the person is willing to speak out, it is enough, if the person is unwilling to speak, it is difficult for the merchant to verify." As far as the small ones know, most of the merchants don't care about this article, and the small ones really don't dare to guarantee how many people can be singled out. ”
The scientific selection criteria are negligent to Zhu Pingjin. If the average age of the population is 40 years old, the males between the ages of 14 and 17 are theoretically only one-twentieth of the total population. If it weren't for the fact that the elderly, weak, women and children were always the first to be eliminated on the way to escape the famine, otherwise the proportion of young men might not be one-tenth. Zhu Pingjin patted his head in his heart, and his eyes motioned for Sun Hong to come over and talk back.
After Bao Yayu left in a funny way, Sun Hong replied: "Young master, the student thinks that the age of men may be relaxed a little, and you can choose fourteen to twenty-five years old. In addition, the article of no relatives, in the opinion of students, seems to be dispensable. ”
Sun Hong went on to state: "The age of a young man between fourteen and sixteen years old is the time when his mind is undecided. The student's family has a nephew, who was smart and clever when he was young, and his family thought that he would have a good future in the future, so he saved money and sent him to school. Who knows that when he reaches the age of eating a long meal, he doesn't know who in the school has learned badly, there are five people and six people all day long, doing bad things, and the family doesn't know how many times to persuade him to no avail, and as a result, his wife was forced to hang. Students think that there must be old and young in the team, the old and the young, the big and the small, the noble and the low, and the officials and the people, so that the team can be easily led. As for the article of having no relatives, the students dared to say ......"
Zhu Pingjin didn't speak, but just looked at him with encouragement.
Sun Hong was encouraged and said, "Who has no relatives? Dead or scattered. The young master is benevolent and righteous, and only uses people who have no relatives, so it is inevitable that the world will maliciously speculate. Moreover, people who have no relatives are like things without roots, drifting with the flow, without concern and without a fixed place. The young master used it, how can he use it? ”
Sun Hong means that to establish a management order in the team, it is best for every member of the team to be able to grasp it. And their families are the best way to grasp them. Zhu Pingjin began to be poisoned by the idea of adopting orphans and raising a righteous son, thinking that after three or four years of support, he would be able to use it for me, and he did not have enough understanding of the possibility of being counterattacked; Then he was poisoned by the doctrine of elite soldiers, thinking that if he used these 300 people as the basis and tempered for three or four years, there might be 300 key officers. Unexpectedly, their minds are undecided, and there is also a risk of becoming bad. Zhu Pingjin recognized Sun Hong's reason in his heart, and was about to speak, when a person flashed next to him, but it was Song Zhenzong, and said in a deep voice: "In the Qin army, the conscription is all the conscription of one family, one surname, one village and one village. The soldiers knew each other, and they advanced and retreated together on the battle array. As the saying goes: brothers go into battle, father and son soldiers go to war. So it is with the soldiers, and so it will be with the generals! ”
This guy really thinks he's here to recruit soldiers! Zhu Pingjin was amused in his heart, but he said solemnly to Song Zhenzong: "Remember, this son of the world is a slave who chooses workers!" But when you choose later, you can choose according to the criteria of a soldier. ”
Without waiting for Song Zhenzong to respond, Zhu Pingjin nodded to Sun Hong again and said, "What Mr. Sun said is reasonable. Those who have no relatives can do it, and those who have relatives can also do it. If he is forced to conceal that his relatives have been selected, how can he rest assured that his parents and children are in exile? How can you fight hard? ”
Sun Hong immediately bowed down and said loudly: "The young master is really benevolent!" The day before yesterday, the students looked through the Zhuang book and saw that the thieves had crossed the border, and the Zhuangzi had also been poisoned and urgently needed to replenish the population. For example, there are two Zhuangzi in Renshou County, and only a dozen people are left who have fled back to CD, and the rest have not been heard from at all. Students' intentions, can the purchased family members be placed in these villages? ”
That's a good suggestion! Zhu Pingjin bowed his head and said, "Yes!" Mr. Lao is the buyer and resettler! Tell the tooth that he knows the rules very well, and he did a good job this time, and his son will often ask him to buy people in the future. ”
Bao Yayu watched Mr. Sun talk to the boy from afar, and suddenly heard Mr. Sun loudly praise the son's benevolence and righteousness, and he estimated that there was a drama in his heart, and then saw the boy nodding, Mr. Sun had to order him to come over, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly went up to inquire about the news.
Sun Hong said: "My lord is benevolent and righteous, and I can't bear it when I see the suffering of the Sichuan people. The young master said, the age is relaxed, Sichuan men from 14 to 25 years old, no criminal record, no hidden diseases, and anyone with courage. However, people still want us to choose one by one. ”
Bao Yayu hurriedly asked: "The master has personally chosen, this is a natural rule." Can this article be abolished for those who have no relatives? ”
Sun Hong replied: "Those who have no relatives can do it, and those who have relatives can also do it!" If there are young and strong families willing to join us in our house, my lord will take them together. However, these family members must be in good health, able to work and do things, and not treacherous and cunning people. Also, how much does this cost? The family members are all old and weak, and this price of ICBC is not comparable to the strong! My lord said, if you have a fair price, you can take care of Mr. Bao's business every year in the future. Compared to this year, the number of people will only increase, not less! ”
Bao Yayu's eyes smiled into slits, and he thanked him again and again, saying that his price was fair, and Tong Su was not deceived.
