Chapter 960: Go and ask for wages
Just when Liu Changsheng was worried and went out for a while, how to face the inquiries of many craftsmen, there was a commotion outside.
This employer is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man surnamed Chen, who used to watch a play with Ye Hongyang, which can be regarded as an old acquaintance. He knew that his family hired Dongze Construction to build this yard, which was a big mistake. So I thought about it, and quickly settled the wages and sent the people away.
As soon as he heard the noise outside, Chen Daguan subconsciously thought that those craftsmen outside would make trouble because the project was not profitable.
He was in a hurry, and he didn't care about any politeness or rudeness, and while pushing Liu Changsheng out, he said, "What's the matter, why is it so noisy?" Isn't it your person? Hurry up and pack up your tools and belongings and leave. Before handing over the work, you should clean up the construction site properly, and this is done! ”
Originally, the deadline for the project had not been reached, and it was this Chen official who repeatedly urged the delivery of the work, claiming that he was in a hurry to use it, so Dongze Construction Bank would end it in such a hurry, but at this time he came to complain.
Liu Changsheng opened his mouth, but finally cared about his identity and did not reason with Chen Daguan.
The noise came from an open field in the outer courtyard where the horses were parked, and it was really the place where the craftsmen carried the construction equipment.
Chen Daguan and Liu Changsheng looked for the voice, and hurried over, and the chief of Chen Daguan greeted a few subordinates and followed closely.
Sure enough, it was the craftsman who had finished the work who was making a fuss, and more than two dozen people were divided into two groups. Two of them tugged at each other's necks, and they were already blushing and thick, and they were about to do it.
Liu Changsheng stepped forward a few steps, pulled two groups of people and walked in, and shouted, "Are everything in order?" It's making a fuss here! Don't let go yet! ”
The two people who twisted together saw that Liu Changsheng was coming, and they didn't give him face at all, not only did they not let go, but one of them asked with a white face: "The work in this yard is so cumbersome, and it took nearly two months for so many of our brothers to complete it." Liu Zuotou, you give us an accurate word, has this job earned any money? When will we be paid? ”
As soon as Chen Daguan heard the word salary, he immediately had a sense of crisis, for fear that these craftsmen would make trouble with him and recalculate the cost of the project with him. Although someone secretly assured him that this project would not be repeated, if it made Ye Hongyang unhappy, it would not be a good thing after all.
Now that it's finished, it's better to get rid of these people as soon as possible.
He immediately lowered his face and shouted: "This is my Chen family's courtyard, since it has been completed, this is not a place for you to stay." If you go outside and say something, if you are really angry, go outside or beat or kill, and no one cares about you. Just, don't make trouble with me. ”
Although Chen Daguan and Ye Hongyang can't be compared, in the eyes of these ordinary craftsmen, they still have a very high status, and their wages and employers can't be said.
One of the men was very tough: "If you go out and say it, you can go out and say, we can't do the work and not get paid." The family, young and old, who do they go to eat? ”
The person who was grabbed by his neck said angrily: "Who do you want to find whom, what do you mean by grabbing me?" Do you think I'm just a soft-scalped bully? ”
"Lao Tzu said about wages, what kind of cool words did you say there? You've found your next home, aren't you afraid of starvation? ”
Of course, Chen Daguan didn't distinguish between right and wrong, but only beckoned Chang Sui and a few subordinates, and persuaded and pushed everyone to go out of the gate.
Chen Daguan also persuaded Liu Changsheng to let him go outside to solve his own affairs.
Liu Changsheng watched the brand-new door of the Chen family close, and his heart was indescribably angry.
He turned his head, looked at the two craftsmen who were still arguing, and said angrily: "Don't let go yet!" What can't you go back to? It's a shame to be here! ”
The craftsman who started the head did not lose his momentum at all, and replied: "I can't eat anything, so why don't you care if you lose it?" Liu Zuotou, if you give me a happy word, can we get our wages? If there is a shadow, we will wait, but if there is no shadow, we will go to the Lord's house and ask for it. ”
Before Liu Changsheng could speak, the craftsman who was tied with him sneered and sneered, "Looking for the master's family to ask for it? It's like you're so faced. Who is the main family, and that is what you can afford to mess with? I persuaded you to leave as soon as possible, but you didn't listen, but it was like I was going to harm you. ”
The person who helped next to him also spoke: "It is natural to work and earn money, this is the rule set by the emperor Lao Tzu, why don't you want money and leave?" The Ji family is a scholar, and they shouldn't do such unrighteous things. ”
"That is, whether the construction bank makes money or not, that is the matter of the fourth grandmother of the Ji family and the eldest master of the Guogong Mansion. What does it have to do with those of us who do things? ”
Another group of people was not convinced, and said, "Don't look at who you are?" Do you think that the emperor will sell coolies to you? ”
"Who do you say is a stinking coolie?" There are more and more people who are helping, and the anger of those two is getting bigger and bigger. You pushed me and shoved it, but I don't know who made the first move, but it really started fighting.
This group of people was pushed and persuaded by the Chen family, and left the alley where the Chen family was located, located on a street corner.
So many people, plus some construction tools and scaffolding, scaffolding and the like, immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Isn't this the craftsman who rebuilt my courtyard for the Chen family? It's so decent, why did your own people fight with your own people? ”
"Didn't you hear? I didn't get paid. ”
"Chen Daguan would be so black-hearted? No way? Then they should go to the Chen family, what are their own efforts? ”
"It's not the Chen family, it seems to be the Ji family of some kind of scholar, and the Ji family doesn't pay them?"
"What Ji family? Which Ji family? ”
Curious people came up one after another, and a bold man leaned over, pulled a craftsman on the periphery, and came up with an idea: "Then you go to your master's house to ask for wages, what's the matter with fighting by yourself here?" ”
The craftsman looked honest, looked at the more and more people gathered, was full of helplessness, and said in a low voice: "We asked the steward of Grandma Ji Si before, and the steward said, let's find the eldest master of the Anguo Mansion." ”
An Guogong's reputation among the common people is much louder than that of the Ji family, and someone immediately interjected: "An Guogong's mansion, I know, it is a noble family of the imperial court, and the wealth is amazing." ”
The other scoffed: "As if we don't know," and then turned around, and encouraged the craftsman very unafraid, "Then you go to the Anguo Mansion, won't it be the old man who will also push it out?" ”
The craftsman looked even more embarrassed and suspicious, hesitating to continue.
Seeing the lively idlers, they couldn't stop coaxing: "What are you afraid of?" I can't eat, so why are you hesitating? ”
The craftsman hesitated again and again, and lowered his voice: "The person who has been in contact with us in the Guogong Mansion is the little servant of the old man, and the day after he promised to give us wages, he was discovered by the Guogong Mansion because he stole the utensils in the mansion to go to the pawnshop. Beat and was kicked out. ”
Everyone was directly stunned, mostly staring, opening their mouths wide, and unable to speak.
It took a long time before someone stammered, "No, it won't be, right?" The Guogong Mansion has no money, and it has to be used as something to pay for the work? Isn't it a house of the powerful? Will it be so miserable? ”
"You don't know, the eldest lord of the Guogong Mansion is not a weapon, and he is very strictly controlled by the grandfather of the country. In fact, this pot is not the old man's, but his daughter, the fourth grandmother of the Ji family, did it, but ......
