Chapter 14 Fighting and Transforming with Friendship
Dong Cai and Yang Xi came into contact not for a day or two, although this person seems to be calm, in fact, he is humorous, and he is full of witty words, this is the first time to listen to him speak so seriously.
"Brother Dong! Little brother asks you a question. ”
"Brother Dong thinks, what is the status of tenant farmers and slaves in this world now?"
"Extremely low! But it's a lot higher than before! ”
"Good! The next thing to do is to collect all the slaves and tenant farmers, whether they are purchased, exchanged, or in any other way, and absorbed into my power, so that they may have the status of human beings, and human beings cannot be called the property of any other people, as long as they are human beings, they must have the opportunity to be promoted. ”
"Free the slaves?" Dong Cai gasped, even if it was a saint today, it was impossible to do it.
"That's right! However, it is within my sphere of influence, of course, Brother Dong can be when you and I are telling a joke, but I will let you see. Right now, you can pay attention to me, my power will grow rapidly, after Brother Dong goes out this time, you can secretly help me publicize, and the treatment here, Brother Dong knows, any tenant farmer who comes here, after training, can get a job. Even if a slave escapes here, he can get a job and have the same status as everyone else, and if anyone wants to recover it, I will do everything in my power to protect it. If someone wants to sell a slave, he will receive it forever, at the market price. ”
Dong Cai nodded silently, he knew about slaves and tenant farmers, but now, he began to understand Yang Xi a little. But he is a businessman, and he feels that Yang Xi has not finished speaking.
"For every one of the tenant farmer's introductions, after three months of continuous work, I will give you a commission of three hundred dollars. As for slaves, you first introduce me to the price of slaves on the market! ”
Dong Cai felt that the introduction fee of the tenant farmer was reasonable, and he introduced a few more, which was equivalent to one more occupation, and if he could introduce more, his strength could indeed increase very quickly.
"The price of slaves has been much lower now than before, and it is said that in recent years, the famine in the north has caused many displaced people to cross the river to the south. In order to survive, many homeless people became slaves. Nowadays, the male ** subordinate costs 4,000 yuan, and the female ** subordinate is even cheaper, only about 3,000 yuan. Of course, if there are craftsmen, there are different prices. ”
Hearing Dong Cai's offer, Yang Xi confirmed the idea in his heart, indeed, in the year of famine, people are not as good as animals, a ploughing ox can be exchanged for a slave, and the price of a horse is at least more than five thousand yuan, it is conceivable that the situation of slaves.
This is understandable, in a year like 1942, if you give a few catties of rice or a few buns, I don't know how many people are willing to go with you.
"This price is fair at the moment. In this case, I have a plan, outcasts, fugitive slaves, as long as you bring them over, or you introduce them, as long as it takes a month, I will give you a thousand dollars. There are master slaves, and after three months after I have traded with their masters, I will give you a commission of three hundred. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Xi sighed that the capitalist world initially needed labor, and it also started with the trade of black slaves. The difference is that Yang Xi directly raised the status of slaves to human beings, while black slaves cannot.
But Yang Xi is confident that black slave owners need to reduce production costs because they seek development in competition. Yang Xi is different, he does not need to compete with others, his products are unique. Although it can't be done now, but in the future, with its own development, everything is exclusive and ahead of the times.
What he wants to do is not to squeeze the bottom, but to plunder the top. His task is to plunder the means of production from the hands of the nobles, distribute them to the bottom, and strengthen the power of the bottom, so that one day he can compete with the scholar class and finally replace them.
Yang Xi knew that next year would be 184 A.D., the seventh year of photosynthesis, and in February, the Zhangjiao Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in advance.
Dong Cai left, and left with great excitement. Although the imperial court currently prohibits the exiles, he knows that this kind of thing can be forbidden.
If this thing is done, it is faster than selling spindles, and the accumulation speed is not known how many times faster.
What he is worried about is how many people Yang Xi can support in this small place.
However, there was one thing that made him a little depressed, Yang Xi gave him a new task, but there was no money for this task. That is, two stones of grain should be brought back every day. Although Yang Xi gave money, the mule's foot strength was also money. Of course, this is just a small matter, and it's over when you think about it.
After Dong Cai left, Yang Xi began to arrange a new training plan, and after yesterday's battle, Yang Xi found that his body functions were under strong stimulation. It went up to 43. It is estimated that it is the physical and mental strength that squeezes the limit, and the explosion after recovery may also be the result of the accumulation of intensive training in the past 20 days.
In the work form arranged by Yang Xi for everyone, the first item is quality training, no matter who it is, even if it is Master Lu and the second master, or Tian Cong's boy who eats for free, he has to gather for training at about half past five every morning. Of course, everyone's training content is different. Cai Kao, Mao Luan, and Yang Xi all ran with weights, each with 20 kilograms of sandbags, and they didn't stop for about half an hour.
Yang Xi set the direction of development for everyone, these two people mainly fight, but they also want all the people to be soldiers. Today, everyone has increased their combat skills training. Except for Cai Kao Maoluan, the others are basic combat skills, and then combat training. Cai Kao Maoluan was more fortunate, and the fighting skill Yang Xi gave them was Muay Thai.
As the most lethal boxing method in the world, it naturally requires higher functions of the human body. As a legendary fighting technique, Muay Thai uses the body's fists, legs, knees, elbows and limbs as eight weapons to attack. This hand-to-hand attack method is almost invincible in close quarters, which will lay the foundation for Yang Xi's next training.
Yang Xi expects that after the snow, he will have a wilderness survival training, and these two must be trained to become their own killer skills.
In the face of Yang Xi's devilish training of Cai Kao and Mao Luan, the others sighed. For example, one of them actually stood in place, jumped back more than a meter, and then fell to the ground with his back firmly, this form of self-abuse, Yang Xi called it a good name to exercise your ability to resist hits.
If it weren't for the extremely strong strength shown by Yang Xi that night to suppress the two, these two would have run away long ago.
But since he was paid, he should have been paid to pay for his own suffering.
Two days later, the second Chenhe god car was started and officially began operation.
Yang Xi calculated, two machines and one machine, when running at the same time, the labor cost did not increase much, harvesting and cleaning, four people can keep up with it, and each machine is enough for two people to operate, so in fact, one machine has four people. The cost of a day is one hundred and twenty dollars. One hundred and twenty catties, according to the factory price of five dollars a catty, that is also six hundred yuan.
Of course, there are other expenses, such as other people who are responsible for security, food, carpentry and sales. Now the Yang family has completely become a chef, and with the help of 7-year-old Tian Cong to watch the fire, he can also be busy.
However, according to Yang Xi's calculations, the current manpower is enough to operate two machines, which is more than enough. That's really a daily bargain, of course, provided that the big fish takes the bait. There are currently seventeen people, two in charge of security, one cook, and three carpenters.
The head of the Luo family can be regarded as bearable, but after five or six days, Shanshan is late.
Yang Xi doesn't have too much ill feeling towards this person who has dealt with him twice in a row, after all, the two sides have different positions, and they didn't have any friendship before, starting from their own interests, they will do the same.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they began to sit on the ground, and the big dog who followed them naturally had no right to speak. However, Yang Xi's thinking is different from this era.
"Big dog, brother! Come on, come on! Sit! Come to me, you're welcome, you've been in contact with me for a long time, and you will know that I don't distinguish between high and low, regardless of identity, since I came, I am Yang's guest. You and I don't know each other, we will have to mix on this plot in the future, and sit down to have a coarse meal together, which can be regarded as a familiar face. ”
Yang Xi didn't care whether the big dog agreed or not, he forced it to be done from behind, the big dog naturally didn't dare, but seeing that the head of the house didn't react, he half-pushed and half-obeyed.
At this time, Yang Xi already knew that the head of the Luo family was actually named Luo Lan, and he was not too old, in his thirties, in fact, he still had some skills, it was said that his sister was married to a husband in Mashan Township, and the official position of the husband was not big, but it was directly appointed by the county, and he must have some connections in the county.
Yang Xi poured water on Roland and the big dog.
"Lord Luo! Come here today, Peng Sheng is shining, but the little brother is indeed a little shabby here, after all, he has just started, unlike the Luo family's rich and generous family, and the hospitality is not good, please bear with me! ”
"Haha! The jade-faced killing god really deserves its reputation, looking at this bearing, it really seems to have won the book of heaven, otherwise, according to this mountain and water, how could a character like Brother Chenhe be born. ”
"Win and win! The head of the Luo family came over today, presumably to see the factory below? Yang Xi went straight to the point.
"Naturally, I've seen it, in fact, as early as a few days ago, I already knew a lot about Brother Chenhe, let's call it not to fight and not to know each other. With his brother's bearing, Luo came as promised today. ”
"I wonder what the Luo family master thinks about this business?"
"Brother Chenhe, your magic car, is worthy of a god word, compressing the things that were originally going to be completed by dozens of people to four people, the powerful relationship in this, Luo Mou feels terrible when he thinks about it, which is also the reason why Luo Mou did what happened a few days ago. This time, Luo came over, but he wanted to hear what the mystery of Chenhe's promise to give Luo some benefits. Yang Xi scanned out that this person's brain development degree is 10%, but his knowledge is different, but he is also a human being, so he simply got straight to the point and said: "The head of the Luo family can see that this matter has a lot to do, but I don't know if the head of the Luo family is interested in cooperating with me to make this matter bigger?" ”
"How to cooperate?" Roland's eyes lit up.
At the moment, Yang Xi was not hypocritical, and directly said his thoughts.
