Chapter 214 - Ten Taels
It's another day of market time. Liujiaji once again ushered in, the most lively moment in the past few days!
And just then, several fast horses suddenly came running from outside the town. And there's no intention of slowing down. It is forced to be crowded people. Make way for a few of them.
"Sure enough, it's some dog officials......"
"Ergouzi, you don't want to die!"
"It was ......"
Just when these cavalrymen forced their way through the crowded crowd, and they didn't know how many stalls they had harmed were about to disappear, in the crowd, there were hot-blooded men who dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak. They all jumped out......
Of course, the elders naturally hurriedly covered their mouths. After all, I heard that this Qiongzhou has changed the sky. What kind of prince is the newcomer? But his men are vicious!
And just when the crowd was chaotic into a pot of porridge, in front of Old Man Liu's house, which was the widest in the town, someone suddenly sounded the gong......
"The old man above said, because it is necessary to build a big official road around the island, so it is necessary to recruit people, of course, this is not to ask you to serve in the conscription, but to be paid, at least one or two silver a month, work seriously and calculate it separately, of course, more importantly, a strong laborer is sent three catties of rations every day......"
The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, while beating the gong, loudly announced to all the mud legs, he was very dissatisfied with the conditions in his heart, after all, these conditions. Isn't it supposed to be something that mud legs should enjoy......
And the so-called cavalry from above sat leisurely on the side and did not jump out to explain anything.
Even if someone had already asked the door, several cavalrymen would ignore it.
But even so, their attitude can't be stopped, and more and more people are watching the excitement.
Especially when the old housekeeper of the Liu Mansion announced: "Every strong laborer under the age of 25 who is willing to go out to work." You can get a settling-in allowance of ten taels of silver in advance. "The whole scene was completely out of order!
At this time, no matter how bad the attitude of a few cavalrymen was, they couldn't stop the heat in the eyes of the old and young masters who came to the market......
Because the so-called ten taels of settlement expenses must be paid by these cavalrymen, this is known for being stingy Master Liu. It's definitely impossible to come out. But these cavalrymen each have a big wooden box under their feet!
It wasn't until this housekeeper of the Liu Mansion finally announced an earth-shattering news, that is, even the Yue clan could obtain the same conditions. A few GIs would have drawn their knives quickly. I'm afraid that even people with money will be taken away in waves......
The big sword waved for a while, and after seeing that it finally shocked all the people around him. Liu Zhengyuan, the head of the army, finally stood on the wooden box and said loudly.
"All those who are interested in signing up, and also meet our requirements, then they can come and sign and press their fingerprints, and now we can send you ten taels of silver for the settlement fee, and then ten days later, now, go to the market by yourself to gather, of course, if any of you take the silver but don't come, hehe......"
Liu Zhengyuan's threat did not play any role. In fact, when I heard that I could take ten taels of silver now. Who is going to listen to what this big-headed soldier has to say?
Almost everyone wants to squeeze forward, under the crowd. forced Liu Zhengyuan to sacrifice the big knife again for a long time. After chopping down two unlucky eggs.
The screams they let out finally brought calm back to the scene.
At the same time, Liu Shengci, the master of the Liu Mansion, who had already been greeted, also rushed out with dozens of family members. After a while of being driven away with a big stick, plus deterrence, it finally relied on the deterrent power of the past to make all those who had evil thoughts in their hearts. It's like a basin of cold water has been poured over it......
The deterrent power of these GIs, perhaps because of the sweeping work that has begun, is very majestic to those aliens.
But when it comes to dealing with the common people, it is still the dog leg of these landlords. is the most handy! And the common people are also very much giving face to these dogs, after all, it can't be done if you don't give it!
When order finally returned to the market, the blood in the minds of many people gradually dissipated. Ten taels of silver is a lot, but I don't know what to do?
So even if Liu Zhengyuan shouted on it for a long time, he also gained very little.
……
"The old man always thinks that this thing is a little unreliable, just imagine that any of you have ever heard of a person who gives silver before he works?" In the corner of the bazaar, Li Laohan, who had a solemn face, knocked on the dry tobacco pouch hard. Said categorically.
"Second uncle, we think there should be nothing wrong with this, you think, no matter whether you work or not, the silver will be in hand first, as for whether you go to do it or not, we will talk about it when the time comes......" categorically denied his uncle. Li Zhuna was very unimpressed. After all, someone had already gone up to experiment before. The white money can't be faked. So he immediately jumped out and refuted!
The uncle and nephew argued for a while, and coupled with the different opinions of the people next to them, the dispute finally ended without a hitch.
No matter how Li Laohan tried to dissuade him, Li Zhu still had a few peers in the village. Without hesitation, Liu Yuanzheng took ten taels of silver in his hand, and stamped his handprint, of course, each other's guarantee for each other is naturally the proper meaning of the question!
On the way back to the village, no matter how heartbroken Li Laohan was, he said that he would tell everyone's Lao Tzu and let Li Zhu and others return the silver and other threatening words.
At least Li Zhu and a few other young people still have a little idea in their hearts.
Of course, this idea is not an escape, because no one is stupid. Except for people who really like to take advantage of this little bit of money. No one will look down on those who give ten taels of silver with a knife in their hand.
As for saying that the other party doesn't know where he fled to? That's a joke!
Obviously, since people can happily take out ten taels of silver to determine you. Then you can take out a hundred taels of silver, and ask for your life. In this way, I believe that many people are happy to obey their fate. No matter where the greedy people are, it is estimated that they will not escape death. That's the way smart people think.
What's more, if you want to get the money, you have to ask someone else to guarantee it. If one of them runs away, it tastes absolutely sour!
Therefore, what Li Zhu and the others thought was that they could finally jump out of this small ravine......
There is no young person who doesn't want to go outside. But they are stumped by the world. In the end, it was no one!
But when such an opportunity is put in front of the eyes of a hot-blooded man, no one will give up such an opportunity.
Therefore, ten taels of silver are one thing, and you can go out and wander, and it is another. There are bonuses to both. Li Zhu and others at this moment. ignored Li Laohan's chatter at all. From the beginning of the heated discussion, what should the outside world be like?
In this regard, Li Laohan not only watched the juniors sulk. There is no other way to think of it......
