Chapter 276 Master Hou's Shock

Although the farm workers who walked past worked long hours every day in Wang Dong's farm, to be honest, the treatment Wang Dong gave them was quite good.Not only were they fed and clothed, they also had scheduled vacations every once in a while. During the vacations, Wang Dong would also ask Wang Ji to give each of them money so that they could go to Shanzhou to buy daily necessities. This was actually a disguised form. salary.

Speaking of which, although these people are still slaves, their living conditions are even higher than those of ordinary tenants in this era, and they don't have to worry about the harvest in their fields, which will affect their income, and they live a very comfortable life.

After sitting in Wang Dong's farm for a few months, these slaves gradually got used to their new way of life. They found that Wang Dong's way of managing them was completely different from their previous masters. Wang Dong didn't beat or scold them. , and will not ask them to do things that are difficult to complete, but let them do it by themselves after setting the work content they want to do every day. Although the intensity of the work content is not low, it is also acceptable to everyone , and the slaves found that if they worked faster, they could finish all the work before the sun set, and Wang Dong would not give them new work after they finished the work, and some slaves even did it. Fast enough, after Wang Dong verified that they did not cut corners in their work, he would praise and promote them. Many of them worked hard or came up with newer working methods, and Wang Dong had already promoted them to become Became a small butler in one side of the farm.

Regarding Wang Dong's treatment of them, the slaves thought that this was the way the Han people did things, but they didn't know that in this era, Wang Dong's management method was not only among the nomadic slave owners, even among the Han landlords. It is also unique.

Under this kind of management similar to the factory system, the slaves gradually gained much higher self-confidence than other tenants at the same time. After all, they now gradually understand that it is the system established by Wang Dong that controls their things. As long as they act in accordance with the rules and regulations, they will not make mistakes, and they don't need to be flattered like other people who work for others at this time. The most basic sense of dignity will be established after a long time.

So even if Wang Dong appeared in front of everyone at this time, when they saw Wang Dong, the master, they would greet him politely, and they would not bow their knees and look flattering, and Hou Junji didn't wear official uniforms. From his appearance, he only knows that he is a nobleman, and he only treats each other with courtesy, but in the eyes of Hou Junji, these slaves seem to be a group of quite magnanimous characters.

Hou Junji looked at it for a while, and couldn't help asking Wang Dongdao: "Where did you invite tenants like you?"

Seeing these people in front of him, Hou Junji reacted subconsciously, that is, these people were all tenants hired by Wang Dong at a high price, otherwise how could there be such arrogance?
Hearing this, Wang Dong couldn't help laughing: "These are not tenants, but slaves I recruited from the surrounding tribes a few months ago, and now they are all working in my farm."

Hou Junji was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Are these people slaves?"

Cai Wangdong couldn't recruit tenant farmers in the city, so this year he went to the nearby nomadic tribes in exchange for slaves to be used as farm laborers.

But like everyone else, he thought that Wang Dong just recruited a dozen or twenty people to take care of the farmland. The slaves had no farming skills at all, and it would be useless to recruit more. Obviously not a dozen or 20 people

Wang Dong nodded and said with a smile: "They were originally tribal slaves, but now they have changed their identities, and they all work for the Wang family."

Hou Junji opened his mouth wide, and looked carefully at the people walking around in front of him again, only then did he realize that the clothes they were indeed wearing were quite rough, but it seemed that they still had some spare time to take care of them in their daily life, so the coarse cloth The clothes were all washed clean by them, and everyone showed a healthy appearance, so they didn't look cheap at first glance.

Hou Junji looked at it for a while, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Slaves can develop such a state, and you are quite benevolent. How many people are there?"

Wang Dong smiled and said, "There are probably more than 100 people."

"More than 100 people..." Hou Junji couldn't help muttering. Although he was not born in a peasant family, as a son of a nobleman, he has the status of a landlord in these days. He has at least some basic knowledge about agriculture. Knowing that under the agricultural planting conditions at this time, more than 100 people are required to plant a thousand acres of land, which is definitely regarded as intensive cultivation, and intensive cultivation is obviously the most complicated way in agricultural work. It is easy for an individual to manage dozens of acres of land , it’s just physical labor, extensive planting and small harvests all depend on God’s will, and if you want to cultivate intensively, you must be an old farmer. It’s hard for Hou Junji to imagine how the landlord taught more than 100 slaves to plant the fields in a short period of time .

Just when Hou Junji was surprised by the number of workers in Wang Dong's farm, Wang Dong had already said to Hou Junji earlier: "My lord, please, I will show you around the farm first, and then I will get you some Cigarettes."

Hou Junji nodded. He was just about to see how Wang Dong's farm works. Following Wang Dong all the way, they soon came to several bright houses. Before entering the house, Hou Junji A lively conversation was heard.

Hou Junji couldn't help looking at Wang Dong, who pointed to the room and said with a smile, "My lord, this is the workshop for canning white fungus."

"Oh...go in and have a look." Hou Junji said with interest.

At this time, the first batch of Tremella fuciformis has been harvested. Wang Dong dried half of it to make dried Tremella fuciformis to be sold in the customs. The other half was developed into canned Tremella fuciformis. The output of the first batch was about It has a scale of [-] cans. Just producing glass bottles kept Wang Dong busy for a whole week.

Hou Junji followed Wang Dong into the workshop curiously, and saw several large pots set up in a small courtyard, and several slaves were boiling water in front of the pots to cook tremella soup. Hou Junji looked at them Pour pots of white fungus into the pot, and then pour in the washed wolfberry and caramel.

When the two of them first entered the room, the head slave who managed the workshop was very knowledgable. After greeting Wang Dong warmly, he quickly asked someone to bring over some fine white porcelain bowls and filled them up. Good goji berry tremella soup to taste.

Wang Dong still has nothing to do, and Hou Junji, as a person of the Tang Dynasty, even in his position, still likes to eat desserts, so he happily took the soup and drank it, and he couldn't help nodding when he entered the mouth: "Well, it really is very delicious It's smooth. Only, you planted these white fungus here yourself?"

Wang Dong nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I got a method that can grow white fungus in the room, and now I have planted a few sheds of white fungus to be processed into dry goods and canned goods for sale in the customs. It's just that I still want to invite adults..."

Hou Junji took a sip of the white fungus soup, then nodded with a smile. He was too lazy to corrupt with Wang Dong before, but thought that the amount of a few hundred was too small, and according to what Wang Dong said, a can of [-] to [-] cans of white fungus soup is less to say. It is also an income of thousands of taels, which is enough for him to make a move.

Tremella is absolutely in short supply in the customs at this time, and he has seen that the quality of the tremella sent by Wang Dong is very good, but today when he came to the place where the tremella canned, he also felt that the place was clean and tidy. Thinking about it, Hou Junji felt that such a business should be easy to do.
