Chapter 178 Can you understand?
In fact, being a farmer has always been a good way for poor families. Every time the county ranks recruited a farmer, there were crowds of people rushing to fight.
But the Weihai Gang is a gang, and its predecessor was the Iron Fist Gang with a bad reputation. Although the recent bloody killings have not affected ordinary people, they will inevitably have a shadow in their hearts.
I was worried that after joining the farm, the Weihai Gang would suddenly turn against each other, change the conditions, increase the rent, and even treat them cruelly. Not only would life not improve, but it would be even more miserable.
So the recruited people shouted for a long time, but no one went up.
When the recruited people were almost hoarse, a man in rags stepped forward timidly and said, "This, sir, you, what you said seriously? Are you really taking all the rations? Is it really 20% of the time left?"
The recruited person finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone coming out. He immediately took out a stack of contracts from his arms and shook them: "There is a contract as a basis, and the words are written clearly. If there is a falsehood, you can go to the government to sue the official! Are there anyone with literacy present? Can you come up and recognize it, is there any problem with the contract?"
"This adult, the old man knows a few words, maybe take a look?" Soon, an old man with a crutch walked out tremblingly.
"It's Mr. Li, hurry up, let the old man see."
Many people are moved when they see a contract diploma, but the poor families are basically illiterate and are very confused for a while. When they see the elderly coming out, they will immediately become noisy. It is obvious that the elderly have a certain prestige in the workshop.
The recruiter immediately stepped forward to support him, carefully handed over Wenqi, and said, "Oh, Grandpa, hurry up, Wenqi is here, you always have a good look."
The old man took Wenqi and looked carefully several times before nodding, turned around and said to everyone: "There is really no problem with Wenqi. Keep 20% of it yourself, and take all the food before collecting the food."
"Ah! It's really okay, it's great!" Everyone trusted Mr. Li's words, and when Wen Qi was fine, they all showed excitement.
If there is a document and a guarantee, if there is a problem, you can sue the official, which is equivalent to having an official as a security guard, and the conditions offered by the Weihai Gang are naturally true.
All the poor families with difficult life became anxious all of a sudden, and 20% of them could live a good life. Some people could no longer stay there. The man in rags stood up and rushed to the recruited person in one step, and then a large group of people surrounded him.
"Sir, sir, I want to enter the village!"
"I'll come first, sir, I'm going to enter the village too!"
When the recruiters saw that they were finally joining, their faces suddenly showed joy and quickly shouted: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, they are all lined up and register one by one."
The Weihai Gang members who followed him immediately stepped forward to maintain order, but Fang Chen ordered them strictly and did not dare to move them. They just advised them with kind words. After a while, they could barely get the order done.
"Name?"
"How old is it?"
“Where are you doing your job now?”
"How many people in the family?"
The registration content was not much, and the man in rags was soon finished registering.
Looking at the information, the man was less than 30 years old and had as many as six people in his family. In addition to his father's life, he also had a wife, two sons and one daughter. But he just did odd jobs and looked for work everywhere. He usually had hunger and full meals, and his life was relatively poor.
The recruiter immediately waved his hand and said, "I want it, go there to get things. Remember to gather outside the south gate three days later."
Fang Chen's recruitment conditions must have family members, and the more stutterers, the better. It is best to be a strong laborer in his twenties or thirties, and his family is poor enough, and his parents, wife and children are all there.
No bachelors are allowed, and those with less than four children in the family can only be prepared. In the end, if they really don’t recruit enough people, they will be supplemented.
The man obviously agreed with the conditions and naturally accepted it on the spot.
"Big, sir, am I going to choose now?" The man still couldn't believe it, and was selected so easily.
The recruiter waved his hand and said, "I've chosen it, I've chosen it. Come over there and get things, don't block the people behind."
"Ah? Yes, yes!" The man walked to the side in a daze, never coming back to his senses, nor did he understand what the collar thing was.
On the neighborhood road, there were neatly lined up seven or eight large trucks, each with a timber cloth covered with timber cloth and couldn't see anything, but from the bulging timber cloth, I knew that there must be a lot of things on the car.
Seeing the man coming, the person who was guarding the car opened two trucks of oil cloths, and the things on the car suddenly appeared, and there were a truck full of cloth and a huge box.
With a "bang", the box was opened, and silver light suddenly flashed, almost blinding the man's dog eyes.
"It's silver!"
The man couldn't help but exclaimed, instantly attracting all his eyes, and then a large string of rolling throats sounded.
The box is about three feet long and wide, and is as high as an adult's thigh. It is covered with an incision of silver on the open surface. If the whole box is full of silver, how much should it be?
For these poor people, it was unimaginable, and everyone's eyes became hot for a moment.
But no matter how eager they were, they didn't dare to take a step forward. After all, there were people from the Weihai Gang guarding each of them, and they all held long swords, which seemed to be not easy to mess with. Moreover, the reputation of the Weihai Gang was enough to calm down those who were experiencing a fever.
At this time, the man who lifted the oil cloth picked up two spindles, a whole piece of cloth, and shouted: "I have a gang that has the first words. Those who choose to join the farm will bear the food rations and give the cloth, and will never go back on their word!"
After saying that, he held up the silver and cloth and shook it so that everyone present could see clearly. Then he solemnly handed it to the man and said, "The grain is too large and it is inconvenient to transport. The gang replaced it with silver, and the amount was full of ten taels of silver. According to the current grain price, you can buy 14 stone of new grain, which should be enough for five people to eat for the first half of the year."
For ordinary adults, it takes two kilograms of normal food rations a day, and a family of five should cost fifteen s. But in fact, the elderly and children will eat less, and the food with more than fourteen s is enough to eat.
Then he winked at the back, and soon another big cart was opened in one box, and there was another box of silver inside. The difference was that the box was full of broken silver.
The man guarding the car grabbed a handful and walked up. The man who spoke reached out and took a pill, raised it and shook it, saying, "Based on the five people in the family, each extra person will be added to two taels of silver!" After that, he put it in front of everyone and put it in the man's hands.
The man was so happy that he was a little stupid. He stared at the silver and cloth in his hand blankly. He had never made so much money in his life. Now, he had just registered to join the farm and someone immediately gave it to him, making him very unreal as if he was dreaming.
He was stupid, but the others were all red-eyed, with heavy breathing sounds one after another, more than a dozen taels of white silver, and they were given away as soon as they were told, and a whole piece of coarse cloth.
Although the price of coarse cloth is not too high, for many of them, they still can't bear to get three feet tall and change into new clothes all year round.
A whole piece of cloth is as large as three feet and nine feet, which is enough for the whole family to change into new ones.
"Sir, sir, what if there are less than five people in the family?" asked one person anxiously.
The recruiter took the conversation and said loudly: "To add to this matter, this gang recruits farmers. The standard is that the more people there are, the better. If the number of people reaches the population, you can register into the village immediately. If there are less than five people, you need to go back and wait for news. If the number of people is insufficient, you can only add the money to the village. In addition, you don't want a bachelor, and those who are not young or old at home should not."
"Why? I have the strength to cultivate and plant, why don't you?" Some people suddenly became anxious and said loudly.
The recruiter glanced at everyone and said loudly: "The leader of the gang has orders, and the barbarians have hands and feet. It is not difficult to do a job. It is easy to support themselves without farming. Those with many people in the family eat a lot and spend a lot of money. Life is bound to be poor. They are given priority! Therefore, those with more than five people in the family can go directly to the house and give two silver cloths. Five people are less than four people to supplement, and four people are less than three people to supplement. Be sure to improve the lives of poor people and not neglect them!"
"The leader of the gang is kind and righteous!" For a moment, all the people forgot the cruelty of the Weihai Gang and shouted in excitement.
They were a little hesitant before, worried that the Weihai Gang would be arrogant and domineering in the management of the farm, so they joined the queue. They finally realized that the Weihai Gang was not an Iron Fist Gang after all, and that those who can give priority to the poor people can be taken care of, but how bad can it be?
As for the cruelty and cruelty, all the merchants died. I haven’t heard of any harm to a commoner. What are you worried about?
The bachelor and the young man in the country had nothing to say. Even though it was the order of the gang leader and the act of benevolence and righteousness, it had been recognized by most of the recognition, what else could they say? If they refute, they would not have to speak from the Weihai Gang, and everyone around could spit them to death.
Therefore, even if they were jealous or unwilling to do so, they could only leave the team and stand aside, watching others register and receive money with red eyes.
The registration speed is very fast, just four simple questions. If you determine the family members, you can get money and cloth immediately. It is not ambiguous at all. The white silver fell into the hands of the people who entered the village like flowing water, and it was not deducted at all.
The more people receive money, the more people agree, and the more they look forward to their future life. If such a large sum of money is given, can the previous promise be fake?
Suddenly, a man came to the table, with a bitter face and said, "Big, sir, there are five people in the little ones, yes, yes..."
The recruiter turned his head in confusion and looked at him, saying, "Five people can enter the village directly, what are your doubts?"
"No, no." The man waved his hands repeatedly and said with a sad face: "Sir, although there are five people in the little family, the old father is in poor health and cannot do heavy work, and the wife is also inconvenient to legs and feet. The eldest of the two children is only eight years old, I, me, woo..."
The man cried out as he spoke.
Everyone around them showed sympathy. This life was really miserable. Moreover, this means that although his family has five, there is only one man who actually has strong labor.
In this case, most large households will not want it. There are too little labor and there are two burdens. Men must take time to take care of them and cannot work hard. This is equivalent to not even one labor. What can they do?
But although everyone sympathized with each other, they would not help to say anything. What can they say in this situation? We can’t let Weihai help accept it with kindness, right? They took out real money and needed farming labor. They couldn’t do anything. Could it be that they would give away money for nothing?
Who would have thought that the recruiter frowned and said unhappily: "Have I registered so many people, have I ever asked about the illness at home?"
"No, never!" The man panicked when he saw his face change.
"Have you ever asked about the age of the children?"
“Another, never!”
"Then are you talking nonsense?" The recruiting people have been talking a lot and have been registering for so long. They are inevitably a little irritable. They said impatiently: "It's been said very clearly. The five people went directly to the village. Didn't you hear it clearly? If you have any illness at home, you will report it. Our gang will ask the doctor to treat it. The family lacks labor. Our gang will have the configuration of oxen, so you don't have to worry about these."
Then he raised his head, looked at the people around him, and shouted: "I'll say it again, the leader of the gang has orders. No matter how old, weak, sick, disabled, or labor, they don't need to be paid attention to. The five-die directly enters the village, and this gang will take responsibility for it! This will also be the case in the village in the future. If you have any illness, you will report it to the manager. If you have any illness, you will arrange for cleaning and guarding. If you really can't do your job, you will lie down at home. If you have less than three laborers at home, you will report to the manager to the farm!"
"Did you understand?"
Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe their ears. No matter how old, weak, sick, or disabled, they were responsible for the gang? They were short of labor and could they still report to plow oxen? They had never met such a kind-hearted master. At this time, they were as if they were hit by a huge meat pie, and they were a little dizzy.
The recruiter waited for a while, but still didn't see anyone answering. He asked loudly again impatiently: "Do you understand?"
All the people suddenly woke up, but no one thought his tone was inappropriate, but they were full of excitement.
'bump!'
The man knelt down on the ground, burst into tears, and shouted intermittently while crying: "The leader of the gang is benevolent and righteous, the leader of the gang is benevolent and righteous!"
‘Bump…’
Soon, almost everyone present fell to the ground and shouted, "The leader of the gang is kind and righteous!"
The master took care of them to this extent, and they no longer knew how to express their gratitude, and could only relax their gratitude in this way.
The recruiter was shocked and frightened. The impatience disappeared in an instant, and there seemed to be an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he would not be happy if he didn't vomit.
But he forced himself to feel excited and said, "Get up quickly, get up quickly. The gang leader is not here now, so please register quickly. I have to rush back and report to the gang leader, so I can't let the gang leader wait for a long time."
When everyone heard this, they naturally didn't want the gang leader to wait for a long time, so they immediately stood up. The scene quickly became orderly again, but everyone's faces were filled with joy.
The registered person no longer avoids the situation at home, and takes the initiative to explain the situation. After all, the Weihai Gang has already made it clear. If you have enough people, you will come. If you don’t care about anything else, you will still take care of the treatment and give the ox to the plowing ox. What else can you hide? If you really hide it, you will still harm yourself.
The recruiters also indicated the situation one by one, and there was no intention of disgust. After registration, the silver and cloth were delivered in full.
