Chapter 66 Jiangyin County
Liu Zhao is a native of Jiangyin County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoLi Dequan is a native farmer, and in the past few decades, he was the same as an ordinary farmer, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Until one year, the local area suffered a drought that was rare in a century, so Li Dequan had to find another way.
It was also in that year that Liu Zhao met a local landlord and was introduced to work in a quarry. After working in the quarry for nearly ten years, Liu Zhao relied on his diligence and Liu Zhao's helpful personality to accumulate some savings and popularity in the quarry at that time.
In the eleventh year, the quarry closed for unknown reasons.
When Liu Zhao thought that he had lost his job again, some co-workers who usually made good friends with him came to Liu Zhao one after another to discuss the next way to make a living. When these people got together, how could there be more than 200 people, and someone proposed at that time, headed by Liu Zhao, that everyone should form a small collective and take on some manual work to do.
In this way, a small ancient engineering team was born.
Liu Zhao took these more than 200 people, sometimes helping people build houses, sometimes helping people open mountains and quarry, and took everyone to work in the fields when they were idle. Although the income is not high, at least you can eat a little bit of food.
However, not long ago, a gentleman from Yongle County next door found Liu Zhao and others. Because Liu Zhao has more than 200 people, he is also a little famous in these ten miles and eight towns. Therefore, it is normal for a foreigner to come to the door.
According to the housekeeper who came to the door, their owner was the nephew of the county magistrate of Yongle County, named Zhu Liu. Doing a local food business. As the business gets bigger and bigger, the number of members of the family is also increasing, so the original residence is a little smaller, and now I find Liu Zhao because I want Liu Zhao to build a larger garden for living.
When Liu Zhao received the business, Liu Zhao and more than 200 workers were happy for several days without sleeping well. With such a huge garden, everyone can get a lot of wages! At that time, everyone was thinking that if it was completed within a year, they would be able to go back to have a good year at the end of the year. In this way, Liu Zhao took more than 200 people, according to the requirements of the master, day and night to complete the project that was originally expected to take more than a year, and hurriedly finished it before the Chinese New Year. In this way, not only Liu Zhao and others can go back to have a good New Year, but even Zhu Liu's family can move to a new home for the New Year.
Originally, this should be a happy thing for everyone, but when the final handover was done and the remaining half of the silver taels were collected, they were turned away by the other party, and they were told that the silver was used to build a house and was gone.
This time, it was a thunderbolt for Liu Zhao and the others, and in that instant, these two iron-clad men almost cried on the spot!
worked hard for a whole year, just when everyone thought that this year could have a good year, something like this happened, which made Liu Zhao collapse several times.
Just when Liu Zhao sued the yamen with the contract, he was shirked by the reason of the bell and had no way to tell him. Missing half of the deposit, let alone going back for a good year, is that some people live far away, and even going back is a problem. This job was taken over by Liu Zhao, and everyone was also headed by Liu Zhao. So when this incident occurred, although everyone did not blame Li Zhao. But Liu Zhao couldn't bear this sudden 'disaster' for half a year. Liu Zhao took the contract and visited many nearby county offices. Almost every county government excused itself on the excuse that it didn't happen locally.
More than 200 men have never been back for a year, so they can only reluctantly stay and continue to find work while trying to find a way.
Now half a year has passed since that incident, and just when Liu Zhao and the others were already desperate, a middle-aged man with a white face and a little scholarly atmosphere came to the door.
In a field, Liu Zhao looked at Xiang Tian suspiciously, "I don't know what is the matter with this adult looking for me?" ”
Xiang Tian smiled, "You're Liu Zhao, right?" Seeing the other party nodding, Xiang Tian continued: "That's the case, there is an adult who needs some experts who can mine." I've heard about you somewhat. This time I came here to ask you what you mean on behalf of my family, I don't know if you are willing to go to sea with my family to do things? And my family also considered that this would make you uprooted, so my family offered you twice the usual salary, what do you think? ”
Liu Zhao did not immediately give a reply to Xiang Tian, but put the hoe aside and came to the edge of the ridge, "I take the liberty of asking, who is your adult?" ”
"You don't have to ask about this, if you agree, you'll know."
"What about working hours?"
"Not sure!"
"No, let's go." Perhaps due to the influence of Zhu Liu's incident, or considering some other reasons, Liu Zhao finally chose to give up after weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
Maybe Xiang Qian thought that Liu Zhao would refuse, but he never thought that Liu Zhao would refuse so simply! This made Xiang Lean, who was entrusted to do things for the first time, feel a hot pain on his face. If Liu Zhao didn't go, Xiang Tian really didn't know how to go back and explain to Lin Yi. Thinking that he might leave a bad impression on the other party because of this, Xiang Tian couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask why?" Of course, if there is any request in this, you can put it forward, and if I can do it, I will definitely give you the best explanation. ”
"There's no reason, if you don't want to, you don't want to, you go!" With that, Liu Zhao picked up the hoe and continued to work in the field.
Seeing that Liu Zhao had made up his mind, Xiang Tian couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, "How can I explain when I go back!" Alas.."
After Xiang Tian walked away, a few men who were working next to him approached Liu Zhao, "Brother Liu, you didn't even ask what to do, why did you refuse?" Twice the wages! ”
Liu Zhao was helpless, "I heard that twice the salary is tempting, but you have also heard that they want us to go to sea to do work." We don't even know the details of the other party, if they go to sea this time, if they regret it, in that vast sea, we can only be slaughtered by others? ”
"Seems to make sense!"
"It's still Brother Liu's thoughtfulness!"
"yes, why didn't we think of that!"
………………
Xiang Tilt returned to a restaurant with a dejected face, Lin Yi saw Xiang Tilt, and shouted from a distance: "Brother Xiang is back, how is the question?" Did he say yes? Did he ask for anything? ”
Xiang Tian said to Lin Yi embarrassedly: "My lord, Xiang Tian is incompetent. I told him what you meant, but he still refused. ”
"Refuse?" Lin Yi was a little surprised, "Then did he say why he didn't go?" Too little salary? Or do you feel too far away from home to give up your hometown? ”
Xiang Tian Wenyan spread his hands out, "I didn't say it." "But I think he still had some intentions at the beginning, but in the end, I don't know why, I still refused."
"Oh?" Lin Yi thought for a moment, "Anyway, we have to rest here for two days, you go and inquire about Liu Zhao in these two days, and then we will make a decision in the end!" After finishing speaking, Lin Yi pulled Xiang Lean and sat on a chair, "Come on, come on, I haven't known the taste of meat after walking for so many days, and now it's just time for me to invite everyone to a big meal!" ”
After so many days of getting along, Xiang Tian also learned a little bit about Lin Yi's character. At this moment, although he felt that he was not qualified to eat at the same table with Lin Yi and the others, he was no longer as repulsive as he was at the beginning. Because Xiang Tian knew that no matter how much he insisted, he would still be pressed on the chair by Lin Yi in the end!
Lin Yi sandwiched a piece of roast meat that looked very delicious in Wang Mengyao's bowl, "Eat more meat, see how thin you have been in the past few days." Don't wait until you go back, your father will see it and won't kill me! ”
Wang Mengyao smiled slightly, "Behind you, my father probably can't beat you, right?" After laughing at Lin Yi, Wang Mengyao no longer paid attention to Lin Yi, who was funny on the side, picked up the chopsticks elegantly, and ate them in small bites.
While eating, Lin Yi said to Du Roger: "Is our army arranged?" ”
When Du Roger was about to get up to answer, he was stopped by Lin Yi and said, "Don't stand up without moving, sit down and talk, and talk while eating." ”
When Du Roger heard this, he was as conscious as Xiang Lean, so he no longer insisted, "I have arranged for them to camp outside the city, and the food has already been procured." ”
Lin Yi nibbled on the duck leg of a roast duck and said vaguely, "That's good." ”
………………
Just when Lin Yi and his party were feasting, Zhu Liu was sitting in a luxurious chariot and walking on the avenue of Jiangyin County. In this luxurious carriage, Zhu Liuzheng hugged two fireworks women with thick pink and laughed obscenely.
Looking at the two snow-white skin in his arms that had been half-dressed, revealing a large patch of white flowers, Zhu Liuyi was a sperm worm in an instant. Howling is about to strip off these two charming women with affectionate eyebrows, and have a 'shocking battle'. When the 'battle situation' had been carried out for most of the time, and Zhu Liu's bloated figure had been completely exposed to the air, he was going to learn from Changshan Zhao Zilong, and when he shouted loudly and raised his gun majestically and got on the horse, suddenly the carriage came to a 'hurry' so that Zhu Liu, who was standing, did not stand firm for a while and rolled to the ground.
Holding his head that hurt when he hit the corner of the carriage, Zhu Liu was furious, "What's the matter?" ”
At this moment, an old voice came from outside the carriage, "I'm sorry master, because a child in front of me fell, so ......"
"So you can ignore my personal safety, master? Damn, it's just a pariah, hit it! Dare to stand in the way of labor and capital, tired of living! In the carriage, Zhu Liu had obviously lost his initial interest at the moment, got dressed and opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage.
I saw that outside the carriage, a strong man in very shabby clothes was kneeling on the ground with a little girl, and kept begging for mercy, "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, it's all the fault of the little people, and they don't take a good look at the children." What is the punishment, come to me, don't embarrass my child! Please, please! ”
After getting out of the carriage, Zhu Liu didn't look at the strong man. Instead, he focused his gaze on the teenage little girl, Zhu Liu pointed at the little girl, "You, raise your head, I'll take a look." ”
"Don't, my lord, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, just let her go! She's still young and ignorant, so please let her go! Hearing Zhu Liu's words, the big man, Chen Jinshui, suddenly became devastated. In this era, who does not know the erosive life among the aristocracy? Chen Jinshui couldn't be clearer about his youngest daughter's appearance! Originally, Chen Jinshui let his youngest daughter stay at home and rarely let her go out. This is to prevent being taken by a young master on the street to be looked at by hooligans, so as not to get into trouble. Since today happened to be his youngest daughter's birthday, Chen Jinshui said to take her out for a walk. But Chen Jinshui never expected that such a catastrophe would be brewed in this area, and Chen Jinshui was already unable to regret it at this moment.
Annette Chen, who was only a teenager, didn't know about these twists and turns. Chen Xiulian only knew that she was in trouble, but she had no idea how serious it was. When Zhu Liu asked him to look up, Chen Xiulian raised her head as she said. Don't look at Chen Xiulian, who is only in her teens at present, and her development is still immature. But on the face, it is already quite beautiful. This also made Zhu Liu's somewhat distorted heart flood with a different kind of thought. Zhu Liu pretended to be angry, "Boldly Diao Min, dare to block my way, come and take this woman down for me, send her to my house, and wait for her to fall!" ”
Zhu Liu's thoughts can be said to be known to passers-by. But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to make a move. When the surrounding passers-by felt sympathy for Chen Xiulian's experience, they could only dare to be angry but did not dare to speak. Looking at the girl who was constantly struggling, the sperm worm that had already gone down didn't know where it came out, and Zhu Liu was burning with desire, "Hurry up, send me to the car, and go home!" ”
"Don't, sir! Please, just let the little girl go, she's still young, adult!! ”
"Daddy, daddy~~ I don't want to go with them, they are bad people, daddy save me!"
Seeing this scene of father-daughter affection, Zhu Liu instead raised his head and laughed, "Following me Zhu Liu, it is a blessing that your family has cultivated for eight lifetimes." Don't know what's wrong," said Zhu Liu, instructing a house slave to pull Chen Jinshui away, "In my one-third of an acre of land, no one will come to save you even if you cut your throat, hahaha~ go!" ”
"Is that so?"
