090 [Powder Keg] (Add more for Penguin Boss)
A few more days passed, and Huang Zundao agreed to all of Zhao Han's requests.
Zhao Han was also very happy, and paid five hundred taels of silver again. Of the 1,500 taels snatched from the banknote gate, only one-third was left in an instant, and there was also a box and a half of copper coins left.
The three of them went out to deliver silver, and Zhang Tieniu continued to take care of the money.
Xiaohong pulled Xiaocui aside and whispered, "Childe is afraid that he is going to do something big." ”
Xiao Cui smiled: "What Childe did was originally a big thing. ”
"Don't scream," Xiaohong said in her ear, "Childe wants to harm Master Huang, and with so much money, he must want to kill Master Huang!" ”
"How ......"
Xiaocui hurriedly covered her mouth: "How is it possible, isn't Childe going to do business with Master Huang?" ”
"I'm afraid that Childe is not a rich man," Xiaohong asked, "Which rich man have you ever seen who is willing to kneel down and kowtow to a slave?" ”
Xiao Cui shook her head and said, "No." Don't say that the rich family is a tenant in the village, and if you don't look at the old man, you won't kowtow to our slaves. ”
"That's it," said Red, "I guess Childe might be a robber." ”
Xiao Cui smiled and said, "How can there be such a handsome robber." ”
Xiaohong felt very tired of communicating with Xiaocui, and said to herself: "If the son is a robber, then I will be a robber." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, how can the son be a robber, a robber who is caught by the official and wants to be killed." Cui was a little scared.
Xiaohong complained: "You are so stupid, Gongzi has been inquiring about the news of the village for the past two days. Which one has a field, which one has a store, which one has a holiday with which one, and what one doesn't have is all for us to say. Isn't this a robber stepping on a plate? ”
"What is stepping on a plate?" Cui asked.
"Just inquire first, and then it's time to start," Xiaohong admonished, "You are not allowed to talk outside, but don't spoil the good deeds of the childe." ”
Xiao Cui hurriedly shook her head: "No, no." ”
Xiaohong suddenly began to fantasize: "You said that the son robbed the goods and returned to the cottage, will you make us the wife of the village?" I am half a year older than you, and by that time, I will be the eldest lady and you will be the second lady. ”
"That's good, I'm afraid that my son won't like us." Xiao Cui also laughed.
Xiaohong asked, "Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the government?" ”
"I'm afraid, but Childe is very smart, and he will definitely not be caught by the official," Xiao Cui held her cheeks with her hand, tilted her head and said, "In this life, I have knelt for others, and it is the first time that someone has knelt with me." I was frightened at the time, but when I looked back, I was so happy that I could wake up laughing in my dreams. ”
Xiaohong seemed to understand very well and said, "Childe is buying people's hearts. ”
Xiaocui asked: "We are the people of the son, what does he do to buy people's hearts?" ”
Xiaohong said familiarly: "Stupid, Childe not only wants our bodies, but also our hearts." ”
"You talk nonsense, Childe won't lie to us." Xiao Cui said angrily.
"What about being deceived?" Xiaohong said with a smile, "There are men who are willing to kneel for me, and they kowtow to me so much, even if they are deceived, I am willing." Whether he is a bandit or a robber, follow him from now on. ”
Xiao Cui muttered, "Yes, just follow him." ”
The requirements for being a maid are very low, and if you beat and scold them at every turn, you can make them loyal.
Zhao Han said that everyone is equal, there is no distinction between good and low, and he kneels and kowtows to them.
Where can this be parried?
That night, the two girls stayed up all night, each holding a pillow and crying secretly.
Some people treat them as human beings, they really treat them as human beings, not pretending to coax them!
To put it more extremely, one day when Zhao Han encounters danger, Xiaohong and Xiaocui will definitely rush up to block the knife.
In the eyes of the ancients, this is to buy people's hearts.
Wu Qi, a famous general of the Warring States Period, had poisonous sores under his command, and Wu Qi personally sucked carbuncles for him. When the soldier's mother heard the news, she immediately prepared for her son's funeral, crying and saying, "My husband has already died for the general, and my son is afraid that he will not be far from death." ”
You are good to me, I will die for you!
……
Is Zhao Han going to be a robber?
He has already been regarded as a robber, and there are quite a few of them.
On the sixteenth day of Zhao Han's arrival in Huangjia Town, hundreds of tenants suddenly surrounded the inn.
The reason for everything was that Huang Zunde was dazed by the silver, and smashed out a thousand taels of silver in a row, and there were countless pieces of silver waiting to enter his pocket. He immediately agreed to Zhao Han's request to lengthen and widen the area of land to include a lot of cultivated land.
Moreover, because Zhao Han urged the construction period, Huang Zunde was also anxious to make money, and directly forced the tenants to level the rocky beach, and forced the tenants to go into the mountains to cut trees and chisel stones.
Spring ploughing isn't over yet!
This is to force the tenants to death, in case the spring ploughing is delayed, the whole family will not be able to live.
The peasants who were taken away because Zhao Han occupied the cultivated land were the first to complain at the construction site. The more the other tenants thought about it, the more angry they became, and they didn't dare to settle accounts with Master Huang, so they went to the inn in tandem.
As long as Zhao Han is driven away, everything will be solved!
Zhao Han stood upstairs looking down on the living beings, and below him were countless tenant farmers holding up the tools of labor. They were excited, and spit out countless dirty words in their mouths, greeting the eighteenth generation of Zhao Han's ancestors.
"Childe," Zhang Tieniu came over with an axe, "Do you want me to kill the generals and drive all these bastards away?" ”
Zhao Han said angrily: "Go back and practice calligraphy!" ”
"Oh." Zhang Tieniu scratched his head.
Xiaohong stretched her neck and glanced at it, and whispered, "Childe, my father and eldest brother are down there." ”
"It's fine." Zhao Han said with a smile.
Xiaohong said again: "Childe, when you rob Master Huang, can you give my father a few taels when you leave?" ”
Zhao Han laughed: "Don't worry, I won't go." ”
The doors and windows of the inn were closed, the guests hid in their houses, and the merchant ships at the docks could walk away, for fear that these tenants would cause civil unrest.
The funny thing is that this inn belongs to Master Huang, and the troublemakers dare not attack it forcibly.
Every once in a while, Huang Zundao brought his eldest son Huang Shuncheng, second son Huang Shunzhang, and hundreds of slaves to the inn.
"Do you want to rebel?" Huang Zundao shouted angrily.
A tenant said boldly: "Master Huang, you don't have to be deceived by this outsider, spring plowing can't be delayed." ”
Another tenant said: "You can occupy the rocky beach, but you can't occupy the land, which has been left by our ancestors for generations." ”
"Fart," Huang Zunde said angrily, pointing at the tenants, "get back to the river beach for me to work, and whoever dares to make trouble will be killed immediately!" ”
In Master Huang's opinion, delaying spring plowing is nothing, nothing more than starving a few people to death and harvesting a few stones of grain. Zhao Xianggong gave enough silver, and if the food was not enough to buy it, it would be his own business to starve the tenants to death.
A tenant starves to death, and countless tenants wait to farm, and the more fierce they rob, the better, and they can also take the opportunity to raise the rent.
As for the occupation of cultivated land, it is nothing, as long as the warehouse can be built, there will be more merchants in Huangjia Town in the future.
The tenants gathered and refused to leave, and they didn't dare to use force with Master Huang, so they could only stalemate there and not know what to do.
Zhao Han suddenly shouted upstairs: "It's all a misunderstanding, Master Huang and I have no bad intentions, let's sit down and discuss something!" ”
"There's no need to discuss, you leave Huangjia Town quickly!" A tenant yelled.
Huang Zundao suddenly felt that he had lost face under Zhao Han's nose, and he said angrily: "Call me!" ”
The eldest son, Huang Shuncheng, and the second son, Huang Shunzhang, immediately took the house slaves to kill.
The tenant slaves did not dare to resist, so they had to hold their heads and run away.
Zhao Han said to Xiaohong and Xiaocui: "Look carefully, and write down which one is injured." ”
Xiaohong and Xiaocui didn't know what they meant, and only silently remembered the injured tenants.
Zhao Han's meaning is very simple, he doesn't want to develop slowly, he must have a base as soon as possible.
Huangjia Town is very good, to the west is the mountains, and the class contradictions here are very serious.
It's just that due to the obscenity of Master Huang, the tenant farmers did not dare to resist, and there was still a lack of a powder keg to detonate.
One thousand taels of silver, enough to make a powder keg!
The Huang family didn't really kill them, they had countless minor injuries and no serious injuries, after all, the construction site needed manpower, how to make Zhao Xianggong's silver if it was broken?
……
Night.
Zhao Han took Chen Maosheng, Xiaohong, and Xiaocui to Xiaohong's house to visit the injured in the dark.
After knocking on the door for a long time, it finally opened.
"Dad, it's me!" Xiaohong hurriedly said.
Due to the dark light, the old farmer did not recognize Zhao Han, and when he heard his daughter talking, he immediately put them into the house.
Zhao Han suddenly stuffed a handful of copper coins over and said, "Uncle, I am the foreign businessman, and I am here to apologize to you." ”
The old farmer held the copper coin in his hand, and wanted to scold but couldn't, so he just stood there and didn't speak.
Zhao Han said again: "I gave Master Huang a thousand taels of silver and asked him to ask someone to level the rocky beach." If it is agreed in advance, each person will be paid 30 yuan per day, and the construction can be started after the spring ploughing is completed. But I don't know how he ...... Alas...... It's that I can't live with you. I'm a foreigner, and it's not easy to work against Master Huang. You say, don't you? ”
"Is it really thirty wen a day?" The old farmer grasped the point.
Zhao Han said: "I originally wanted to set fifty Wen, but Master Huang said that there was no need for much, so I could only lower it to thirty Wen." You're recovering slowly, and I'm going to have to visit the next one. ”
The old farmer hurriedly said, "I'll send the old man away." ”
"No, no, my husband will rest first." Zhao Han gave up his hand and withdrew.
When they left, Xiaohong's father and sister-in-law immediately took the lamp and counted the money, which was two hundred copper coins!
Sister-in-law said: "This old man Zhao is a good person, and he came to apologize in person in the middle of the night." ”
The eldest brother said angrily: "I heard clearly just now, Master Zhao was paid, and he Master Huang only took care of two meals a day." It's all thin, and you can't eat enough! ”
"There is a way," the old farmer sighed, "in this Huangjia Town, Master Huang is the Emperor of the Soil." ”
Overnight, Zhao Han visited 17 families of the injured.
The next day.
On the riverbank construction site, there is a lot of money to be passed on.
A tenant had the courage to ask the foreman: "Sixth master, how is this salary calculated?" ”
The foreman sneered: "What wages?" I'll give you two meals a day, and I don't know what to do? ”
The tenant left angrily, and when he was eating in the middle of the morning, he said to the others: "Master Huang has swallowed all his wages and will not give us a penny." ”
"If you don't give money, forget it, my family's field hasn't been ploughed yet, what should I do if I delay spring plowing this year!" The other tenant began to cry as he spoke.
The powder keg has been planted, and someone is left to light the fire.
