"Ah? Brother, what should we do?" Zhang Shide also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Hey! Wait and see!

I don’t believe that Longmen Escort Agency is just an egg without seams!”

"Brother, I will listen to you!"

Suning knew not to pay too much wages to the Yan people, because paying too much would cause public outrage and backlash from the Yan people, and would also be considered by Meng Yuan as a way to win people's hearts. Suning was not a hypocritical person.

Know how to truly relieve the salt people from their suffering.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a rapid sound of sticks, and the salt people stopped what they were doing and ran over quickly, because they knew it was the sound of eating.

"Everyone, stop crowding! Come one by one!

Everybody line up properly!"

"Foreman! What shall we eat today?"

With a new owner, will our food be better?"

"Hmph! You poor guys, what good food have you ever eaten?

Well! Our new owner is kind!

Each salt farmer can receive two picnic cakes and a bowl of porridge."

"Ah? Cooking cakes?

The boss is even willing to cook cakes for us!" As soon as the foreman finished speaking, the salt people became excited.

The salt residents excitedly accepted the two colorful gray cakes and the porridge that could stand up with chopsticks. They couldn't help crying.

Suning looked at the expressions of the salt people in front of her who were crying excitedly while eating, but their eyes were empty without sadness or joy. It was not easy for the Chinese people to get this bowl of rice, and the suffering they suffered was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"Dongjia Su, I think this is a bit redundant?" Mr. Sui, a close aide of Prime Minister Zuo Fushou, looked at Suning with disdain.

"What?"

"Dongjia Su, you shouldn't be so nice to these bastards!"

"You bitch? Master Sui is also a Han, right?"

"Hmph! Although I am from Han origin, I am serving the noble Mongolian nobles. This is the honor of my ancestors." Master Sui looked at the salt people in front of him with pride.

Looking at the proud Master Sui, Suning suppressed his nausea and explained with a smile, "Since Master Sui is serving the Mongolian nobles, have you ever seen Mongolians feeding horses?"

"Feed the horse? I've seen it before! What's wrong?"

"Master Sui, since you have seen horses being fed, you should know that if you want a horse to run, you need to feed the horse well."

"Well?"

"Master Sui, after eating for a while, the salt people's work enthusiasm will change immediately, and the salt output of the salt farm will definitely increase a lot this month."

"Ah? It's impossible!"

"Also! Master Sui, according to regulations, the salary you paid to the salt people was ten cents, but the most they got was six cents.

And now I directly send them five cents every month, so it is understandable for them to eat better!"

"Ah? Su Dongjia, you are still smarter!

Let me tell you that you businessmen are very smart!

Haha, Sui admires me!" Master Sui became happy after hearing Suning's explanation.

"Master Sui, you are a popular person in front of Prime Minister Zuo. I hope you can speak kindly to Su in front of Prime Minister Zuo in the future!" Suning deceived Master Sui, and then secretly placed a silver ingot on Master Sui.

in the hand.

Feeling the texture and weight of the silver in his hand, Master Sui almost narrowed his eyes, "Haha, easy to say! Easy to say!"

Seeing Master Sui leave with satisfaction, Suning also sighed helplessly. These bastards from Mengyuan are not stupid at all, but are very smart.

After Prime Minister Zuo Fushou received the heavy gift and 50% of the profit, he did not relax his vigilance against Suning. He sent Master Sui, a "thing" to monitor him. This made Suning spend all his efforts to monitor Master Sui and Fushou.

Explain your behavior.

...

As soon as it dawned early in the morning, the foreman was banging on the wooden doors of each work shed, "Get up! Get up!"

Get up and train soon!”

"Ah? So early?

It's not day yet!

Why are you training?" The saltmen looked at the sky outside and complained feebly.

"Stop talking nonsense! From now on, there will be training every morning before going to work. Those who participate in the training can have an extra meal."

"Ah? What?

Can I have one more meal?" As soon as they heard that there was food, the refugees all woke up and looked at the foreman with hungry wolf eyes.

"That's right! Those who participate in training will have three meals a day.

Those who do not participate in training will still eat two meals a day as before.

Therefore, training or not depends on your own free will."

"Train! Of course you have to train!

You are a fool not to train!" The salt people no longer felt sleepy at all, and they all got up quickly.

The saltmen who quickly got dressed came out in twos and threes and came to the open space outside the work shed. They looked at their foreman in confusion, "Foreman, what are we training for?"

"Eh? If you ask me, I'll ask who will go!

Maybe the new owner sees that all of you are "weak chickens" and wants you to be trained to work harder?" The foreman was also confused by the salt people's questions, and then he could only guess what he said to the salt people.

of.

"Haha, such a good owner.

We really need to let people make more money, so that they can afford such good food." The salt people are all simple, and they soon understood "capital".

The salt people did not wait too long, and many capable young men in red uniforms appeared. They looked at the salt people in front of them with disdainful expressions, "We are the escorts of the Longmen Escort Bureau, and we will be your instructors from now on.

And you have to train with us every day."

"Ah? We are salt people. They won't let us be escorts, right?"

"Hmph! With your dry looks, are you worthy of being an escort?

My boss only trains you so that you can work well."

"Oh! So that's it!"

"Okay! Now there are eleven people in a class, and you can choose one of you to be the acting class leader."

"Ah? Monitor?" Upon hearing this unfamiliar word, the salt people all showed puzzled expressions.

"That's right! From now on, your food and accommodation will be arranged according to your classes, and your work will also be arranged according to your classes. This will facilitate your unified management."

Although the salt people didn't understand and didn't know why they were asked to do this, when they saw the cooking cakes and hot porridge placed next to them, they all swallowed hard and followed the escorts' training obediently.

In fact, the training content is very simple. They are asked to take off the shoes on their left feet, and then practice left and right movements according to the escort's commands. Of course, they also have to stand still.

In the beginning, the salt people endured the demands of the escorts just for the sake of food. With the training day after day, they gradually got used to this kind of life, and the three good meals a day made them more and more satisfied.

strong.

One month soon came and the salt output of each salt field increased significantly. Master Sui, Fushou's close confidant, was happy, but he started to curse at the salt people.

"Bah! These damn salt people were actually lazy before!"

"Huh? These are all small things.

Haven't we increased the salt production now?" Suning really couldn't understand this kind of "traitor" brain circuit.

"Well! I'll just do the hard work for Su Dong's family!"

"Haha, it's an honor for me to serve Prime Minister Zuo. Where does the hard work come from!"

"Haha, the Su Dong family is so smart!

I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of Prime Minister Zuo when you get back!"

"Haha, thank you Master Sui!"

Today is also the day for the salt farmers to collect their wages. The difference from usual times is that this time they need to go directly to the Longmen Bank next to the salt farm to collect their wages themselves. They no longer need to take it from the foreman.

Master Sui did not leave immediately. He watched at the door of Longmen Bank. He wanted to see if Suning really only gave five cents to the salt residents. Fushou personally told him to pay attention to this matter and never allow Longmen Escort Bureau to buy people's hearts.

.

"Ah? Why do you only have five cents?

We used to have ten cents!" came the displeased voice of a Yan citizen.
