Chapter 17 Reckless Thoughts
Hearing that Yang Xiu was also going, Zhang Forget stopped, turned his head and asked, "Are you idle?" ”
Yang Xiu nodded: "Yes." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhang Forget smiled evilly and said to the servant: "Take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”
"Isn't it, again?" Yang Xiu's little face suddenly wrinkled: "Isn't everything that should be copied finished?" ”
Zhang Forget said slowly: "This time I won't copy the book, help me write a recruitment notice, it's very simple." ”
Yang Xiu asked, "Why don't you write it yourself?"
Before Zhang Wang could speak, Douzi interjected on the side: "Because he's lazy." ”
Zhang Wangxiao touched the little head of the bean with a smile and praised: "Witty as me, there is a future." ”
Yang Xiu didn't expect that in just a few days, the pure and innocent beans had been infected by Zhang Wang's shameless temperament.
He reluctantly sat down in front of the familiar stone case in the courtyard and asked, "What is the recruitment notice?" ”
"It's to recruit a few slaves and maids for yourself while someone is paying."
Zhang Forget made no secret of his desire to get into the Yang family's cheapness, and said with a grin.
Douzi said strangely: "Aren't we going to buy it at the human market?" ”
"All the coolies bought in the market are coolies, and what I need more is a group of people with expertise."
Seeing that the servant had brought pen and ink, Zhang Forget said to Yang Xiu: "I read, you write." I will only read it once, and if you make a mistake or omit it, I will tell you to copy a hundred copies for me and post them in the streets and alleys of Huayin County. ”
Yang Xiu knew that Zhang Forget was doing what he said, and he suddenly became nervous, he stared at Zhang Forget intently, and his ears were pricked up.
"Shu County Zhang Wang, from now on, recruit ten servants and maids each, and go to Luoyang. It is required to have a skill, or to be able to make pottery, or to make paper, or to make iron, or to make wine, or to raise horses, or to weave, or to embroider, and so on, and so on. Eat and live, don't beat or scold, the monthly money is 3,000, sign up as soon as possible, and don't wait for the obsolete time. ”
Zhang forgot to read it at the usual speed, then kept silent, waiting for Yang Xiu to show him the written notice.
Yang Xiu is smart by nature, and he is naturally overwhelmed by just a few dozen words. He quickly finished writing it and handed it to Zhang Wang. Zhang Forget read the words on the bamboo slips, nodded and let Yang Xiu go, and sent servants to order the bamboo slips to the courtyard wall outside the door of Yang's house, and squatted beside them.
He himself took Douzi and Yang Xiu and hid in the gatehouse, secretly paying attention to the movements outside.
Since Zhang Forget gave away the method of brewing vinegar for free, in front of the gate of the Yang Mansion, there are often people who can't linger. Because Zhang Forget is too cruel, he will teach people the craft of making money every day if he doesn't agree with him, in case he has a whim one day, and he wants to teach people skills, and he and others will guard the door, but he will take a big advantage.
The servant pinned the job notice to the wall outside the door, and then stood aside, silent.
People rushed over and surrounded the wall in the blink of an eye. The people on the periphery saw that there was a bustle at the door of the Yang Mansion, and they all ran to tell each other, and they ran one after another, and even the gate of the Yang Mansion was blocked.
Those who read and could read were stunned, and those who didn't read were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, begging those who knew how to read it quickly.
The literate scholar shook his head and read the contents of the notice, and the people immediately exploded.
"What? Is there 3,000 a month to be a servant? Is it okay for Lao Tzu to earn 800 wen a month by working long hours? ”
"If you don't brag, you'll die, didn't you only get 300 wen last month?"
"Lao Tzu didn't find a job last month, and he worked a part-time job......"
"Oh, recruiting a servant and maid actually offered such a high price, isn't Xiao Langjun crazy?"
"You're crazy, Xiao Langjun has a bit of the ability to turn stone into gold, who doesn't know the people of Huayin? Rich, that's how capricious. ”
"Haven't you seen it, it is written here, Xiao Langjun only needs to have a skill. It's not like everyone pays such a high wage. ”
"Oh, in that case, it makes sense. My fourth uncle can make wine, work in the winery of King Hongnong, and earn two or three thousand wen a month. In this way, selling yourself as a slave and going to Luoyang is a bit low. ”
"Are you stupid? Isn't it stupid? Don't you see, the family is treated the same. In other words, if you know how to make wine, the mother-in-law and the three babies in your family can each receive 3,000 monthly money every month. That's fifteen thousand, you know? ”
"Oh my God, is this true? Fifteen thousand? ”
"I know how to farm, I don't know if it's a skill."
"Pull it down quickly, there are not 10,000 people in Huayin County who will farm, but also 8,000, where is your turn, don't you see that only ten slaves are recruited?"
"Don't look down on people, my ability to farm will compare you all, won't Xiao Langjun want me? I'll go home and talk to my mother. ”
The people talked a lot, and the door of Yang's house soon boiled over, as if a vegetable market had been opened.
In the gatehouse, Yang Xiu asked Zhang Forget curiously: "Why do you want me to write on the notice, don't beat or scold, the slave has done something wrong, don't beat or scold, how to discipline?" ”
"Do you still need to ask, of course it's a fine. If you do something wrong, you will be fined 1,000 yuan, and if you do something wrong three times, you will be driven away. If it is too wrong and causes irreparable damage to me, I will be sent to the county government to go to jail. Dahan has a law, don't you know? ”
You know that you will not suffer if you have always been treacherous.
Yang Xiu glanced at Zhang Wang, and asked again: "One person knows skills, and the whole family enjoys the same treatment, this is too wasteful, right?" You can't just be so lavish just because you didn't pay for it. ”
"You know the." Zhang Wangdao, "If one person works, the whole family will benefit." When one person is evicted, the whole family is expelled. As long as these recruited people are not stupid, which one will not work well? Do you think it's necessary for me to worry about their faithfulness all day? ”
Yang Xiu was surprised: "You paid such a big price just to gain their loyalty?" ”
"That's right, because winning hearts and minds is the hardest thing."
Zhang Wang's rare patient explanation: "Parents can support their children for a long time if they are faithful. A husband who has the faithfulness of his wife can share in adversity. A master who has the loyalty of his slave will be rich forever. When the king has the loyalty of his courtiers, he can protect the country. ”
Yang Xiu scratched his head: "But your money this month is too high, can they earn their work?" ”
Zhang Forget sneered: "If it were someone else, naturally he wouldn't be able to earn it." But who am I, it's not me bragging, I'll take you to lie in Xiliang, a white wolf with empty gloves, you can make those Qiang, who have plagued my Han people for hundreds of years, so poor that they can't even afford to wear pants. ”
Yang Xiu obviously didn't believe it: "The Qiang people are not as stupid as you think, right?" ”
"You're still a prodigy, so what? It's not that I want you to be round, I want you to be flat. Besides, these slaves I have recruited are all elites who sweep the sand in the big waves, and they are one in a hundred, and such people, whether in prosperous times or troubled times, are worth as much as gold. ”
Seeing that more and more people were pouring out of the door, and there were more and more people clamoring to sign up, Zhang Forget led Douzi and Yang Xiu and sneaked away from the back door of Yang's house.
If the number of people does not gather to a certain extent, there is no point in rushing into the sand in big waves.
Take the opportunity to go out for a walk, and wait for more people to come back and recruit.
Douzi was so happy that he led the way by jumping in front, showing for the first time the lively appearance of an eight or nine-year-old girl.
Zhang Wang looked at her gently, thinking in his heart, God let me travel to Dahan, maybe it was so that I could do something, so that the people could live a carefree life like this.
Yang Xiu reads and practices calligraphy at home on weekdays, and rarely comes out to play. At this time, he was also full of interest, and when he saw the stout aunt, he had to look at him twice, and his cold and unscrupulous strength made Zhang Wangdu out of reach.
There were many people who heard the news and rushed to Yang's house to sign up, and met the three of them on the way, all of whom came up with enthusiasm and gratitude. Make it difficult for the three of them to move forward.
"Look at the sky, the primary election has begun at the gate of Yang's house, if you don't rush to sign up, it will be too late."
Zhang Forgot to tell a lie casually, and the people immediately dispersed like the sea at low tide.
Zhang Forget glanced at Douzi and asked, "Do you feel anything about this?" ”
Douzi pouted and said, "Enyi, this thing is really not as attractive as five baht money." ”
Zhang Forget glanced at Yang Xiu again.
Yang Xiu had a worried face: "If the people can eat enough, who is willing to separate their wives and bones, and go thousands of miles away to be slaves for a few thousand dollars?" ”
Zhang Forget didn't taunt him, and turned his head to look in the direction of Luoyang.
If the princes who were on the corpse in the court could have half of Yang Xiu's thoughts about the country and the people at this time, the lives of the people would not be so difficult.
