In another time and space, when later generations talked about the Ming Dynasty, they always liked to say that XX ism sprouted, and one of the signs of this saying was that there was already a phenomenon of hired workers in this era. Displaced people who have lost their land, farmers who are unable to make ends meet, or people who have fled the famine. If you live in cities or large towns, you can only accept employment to make a living.

Their conditions are high and low, but overall, they can barely survive at this level. Moreover, these jobs are all about supporting the young, and once you can't do it, you will definitely be fired, and as for how to survive, you have to figure it out yourself. Even if you meet a kind owner, it's just a few more severance pay.

For example, Yang Ji has these favorable conditions, especially the "retirement" at the age of 60, and the monthly pension is paid after retirement, and at the same time, if the body allows, he can continue to work part-time. Even in the era of gesturism, touted by a bunch of people, it is a rare benefit. In the Ming Dynasty, it was equivalent to throwing a golden rice bowl down, and everyone wanted to drill Yang Ji, which was reasonable.

Some of Xie Ji's shopkeepers are children of their own clans, or family slaves, which can be trusted. But there are also some big guys or second and third shopkeepers who are hired by contract, and the workers are even more of an employment relationship.

It is not too much of a surprise that they jumped to fight against the water, Xie Zun already had a plan for half of the workers to fight against the water. can be deduced according to him, from the establishment of Yang Ji to the fact that half of the workers rebelled against the water, it would take a few years, and it had to be under the premise that Yang Ji had always existed. During that time, I must have hired workers myself, so I won't mess up. Some of the men who are not very loyal may be shaken, and as for the shopkeeper, he still has control over it. In such a short period of time, there was an employee at the level of the shopkeeper who turned back, which made him feel a little in a hurry.

In today's social form, on the whole, we still advocate a sense of faith, that is, compared with judicial means, people tend to believe more in morality or conscience. This self-restraint is the so-called conscience account. The contract in commercial transactions is barely valued, and the contract in employment is very sloppy. There is also no penalty for later generations or a prohibition on engaging in the same industry for several years.

The current market is a labor market, and it is good that everyone has a job without starving to death, but once they lose their jobs, it is extremely difficult to find a job, and they are likely to become beggars or starve to death.

If the owner doesn't do this kind of thing, the probability of happening is very small, and normal people are afraid of being expelled by the owner, and few people are willing to leave. Therefore, in the employment contract, the main protection is the interests of the owner, such as the dismissal of workers can not be lost, the death or injury during the employment period is not counted, and the disability is considered unlucky.

Originally, this kind of contract was not conducive to the employees to protect their own rights and interests, but now that they have begun to rebel, Xie Zun's side does not have too many means to control these people to defect to Yang Ji. Even if you ask for financial compensation, those contracts are sloppy and don't cost much.

But at the level of the shopkeeper, more or less in hand, they have some resources in their hands, or they have certain talents. The losses caused by their backlash are not compensated for by the few dollars in the contract. What's even more terrifying is that this kind of backlash brings a blow to credibility, which will make people feel that Xie Ji has a major problem, and he can't control his subordinates, and this shop will not last long.

Once this kind of cognition is formed, the Xie family's customers will inevitably lose in large numbers, and those who have a good relationship with the anti-water people in the shop may also follow suit. The person who stayed behind may also be an undercover agent deliberately arranged by Yang Ji, since the other party even did things such as setting fire to digging corners, it is not strange to arrange some undercover agents. Who can Xie Zun really trust?

A few drops of sweat oozed from Xie Zun's forehead, and his demeanor was not as calm as Fang Cai, although the businessman pursued profits, he also did everything in business. But on the surface, everyone will pretend to be a good gentleman, claiming that he is a Confucian merchant and a gentleman, so that he can trade with others.

Like Yang Chengzu, who shows that chariots and horses come up with all kinds of means, in the current era, it is actually not very popular. But in the face of strength, this kind of treatment is not to be seen, and the impact is not too great, the business must be done after all, whether happy or unhappy, Yang Ji has entered the market in a high-profile manner, and it cannot be stopped.

At present, Yang Ji is involved in the fields of grain and maritime trade, which are the Xie family's own land. Even if Yang Ji does not enter the market, other businessmen will not get any benefit from these two parts. At most, it's a little bit of leftovers, and it's not even leftovers.

With Yang Ji's attitude, these businessmen did not express any dissatisfaction, and they all sat on the wall and watched. On the contrary, I am worried that if I come out and Yang Ji also goes to his side and starts digging people, how to deal with it.

Just when the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became cold, Yang Chengzu's third gift, which was held by the beautiful maid, was placed in front of Xie Zun.

Xie Zun's expression was a little nervous this time, and he didn't know what mystery was hidden here. Standing up, he carefully lifted the lid of the box, and the others all looked inside with curiosity, and then a burst of exclamations erupted.

Wen Xun stumbled back to his seat, covered his face with the sleeve of his robe, and exclaimed, "What's the matter? This...... What does that mean? ”

The culprit brocade box that made these decent people panic was actually a human hand, the palm of which was thick and powerful, probably a hard work or a martial artist. But no matter whose hand it is, it should not be in a box, let alone on a table. Rao is Xie Zun is well-informed, and he also fastened the lid of the box tightly, his eyes fixed on Yang Chengzu.

"Master Xie, Wen Taishou, don't panic. Cao Yun will use Lifu, and these Lifu and Cao Ding are combined, which is the Cao Gang in everyone's mouth. This gang is usually nothing, after all, in front of the government, these people are not even scum. However, if the Cao Gang deliberately embarrassed anyone and did not load or unload anyone's ship, the business was not done, and half of it was lost first. I'm new here, and I'm not very familiar with the situation in Nanjing, so it seems that the leader of Nanjing Lifu is called Xie Hu, right? ”

Yang Chengzu looked at Xu Pengju as he spoke, Xu Pengju was the one who led the troops after all, and a broken hand couldn't scare him, so he still ate and drank there. As soon as he heard Yang Chengzu ask, he was also at a loss, "This Lifu head? What it is, I really don't know. It's just a coolie leader, what is there to remember the name of such a person? ”

"Not necessarily, if a leader manages tens of thousands of coolies, we should remember it. After all, they are all strong men who can do physical work, and there is always a vigilance when there is a wind and grass. Master Xie, you are a big businessman, and you can't do without these husbands, I don't know if you have any impression of this Xie Hu? ”

Xie Zun also recovered from the surprise of seeing his broken hand at the first time, and his face became more and more grim, "Xie Hu is indeed an unsuccessful child of my Xie family, he can't study and practice martial arts, so he has to go to work as a coolie in order to live." But this kid is still a good person, very righteous, those Lifu may admire his personality and are willing to let him help him get an idea, is this also illegal? ”

Yang Chengzu smiled, "Of course this is not illegal, I just told Master Xie that when you came to the banquet, Xie Hu was no longer the helmsman of the Nanzhili Cao Gang, and someone cut off his head, and he couldn't do it." This hand is the hand of the murderer, he killed Xie Hu with this hand, so he cut off his hand first to make amends, as for the person, he is also in this restaurant. Call him up. ”

The footsteps were heavy, and a big man with a bare body and tied with a rope, dragging a severed hand, under the supervision of two guards, walked upstairs step by step, and knelt in front of Xie Zun. At this time, Xie Zun's expression finally changed a little, is this southeast sky really going to change?
