Even amateur masons are more powerful than Kong Wu, and they are not as easy to bully as ordinary tenants.

Therefore, Mr. Huang is very kind. As long as they go into the mountains to quarry, they will each give ten liters of wages per day, and provide a dry meal and a porridge.

"It's dinner, it's dinner!" shouted the foreman.

Dinner time is around ten in the morning and four in the afternoon.Eat only two meals a day, which is the norm in remote villages, not three meals a day at Lead Mountain.

More than a dozen masons sat together, picked up their rice bowls and immediately exploded.

A mason named Huang Shun roared, "Didn't you say you see meat once every five days? Why is it all pickles!"

The foreman sneered: "It's good to have dry rice to eat, but do you still want to eat meat?"

Huang Zunde was also a little scared when there was a riot at the inn last time.Not because the tenants would rebel, but because the tenants would cause trouble again, delaying the construction period of Zhao Xianggong, and losing face with Zhao Xianggong.

As a result, the tenants who flatten the rocky beach only have one person from each family to work, and the rest of the family can go to busy spring plowing.

And the workers who go into the mountains to quarry and lumber, not only have the treatment of ordinary tenants, but also can eat meat every five days.

On the first day of the order, everyone saw the meat, although the portion was very scarce.

At this time, it happened to be the sixth day. They were supposed to eat meat, but they didn't even have a bit of oily smell, so they even let them eat pickles!

Mr. Huang said that if you eat meat, you should eat meat?

The domestic slaves in charge of the logistics, the foreman in charge of supervision, don't they take the opportunity to make money?

Layer upon layer of deduction, only pickles are left.

The masons ate brown rice and nibbled pickles, their faces full of anger.

Going into the mountains for quarrying is heavy work. One meal is dry and one meal is thin. You can only eat pickles. How can you be full?It's like working on an empty stomach every day.

Moreover, they are all strong laborers in the family, and without them, spring ploughing will definitely be delayed.

"Uncle Yao, have you heard? Master Zhao, who came from out of town, can give you more than ten cents a day." A mason whispered.

Uncle Yao's name is Huang Yao, and he is quite old, in fact, he is only in his 20s.

Huang Yao has seen the world, and is sent to the county town every year to escort grain, that is, to escort the village's Tian Fu to the county government.One year, he was left behind by the magistrate to help build the city wall for half a year.

In the past six months, I didn't earn a few wages, but the father in the family starved to death, and the mother chose to hang herself in order to save food.

Huang Yao asked, "How much wages did Master Zhao give?"

The stonemason said: "Master Zhao gave 1000 taels of silver, and 800 taels to buy the rocky beach. Master Huang was responsible for leveling the river beach. The other two hundred miles were all paid for the quarrymen and woodcutters. Master Zhao bought stones and wood. The money is calculated separately."

The masons were shocked, Master Zhao is really rich!

A stonemason said: "Our quarryers and those who fell trees paid 200 taels for their wages?"

"Isn't it?" the stonemason said before, "Master Zhao set wages of 80 yuan a day for a quarryer, 60 yuan a day for a lumberjack, and 50 yuan a day for the rocky beach. Now it's alright, we only pay 10 yuan a day for quarrying. Wen, 5 cents a day for cutting down trees, and there is no wages on the rocky beach!"

Another stonemason said: "I also heard people say that Mr. Zhao did not have a deadline for construction, and advised Mr. Huang to start the work after the spring ploughing."

"What's the hurry, Mr. Huang?"

"I'm in a hurry to get the money. The warehouse has not been built yet, so Mr. Zhao took out 1000 taels. The remaining money must be thousands of taels?"

"The dog's yellow pickled skin!"

"This Master Zhao is really a good man. I heard that the tenant was injured. He went to send money to make amends overnight. He came from another place, how dare he bully our local people?

"Oh, let's not talk about it, it's all life. We are born with low life!"

"..."

Before the meal was finished, the foreman began to urge again, and everyone could only dig into their mouths.

In the afternoon, a stone suddenly fell, and a mason couldn't avoid it, and the tibia of the calf was crushed.

This is a very common work injury for quarries.

The foreman was in no hurry, and only asked Huang Yao to carry the injured to the riverside, and wait for the boat to come over before sending the injured home.

The rest of the masons continued to work.

While waiting for the boat, Huang Yao asked, "Li Si is injured, what is the cost of the soup?"

The foreman asked back: "He's injured himself, and he pays for the soup and medicine. What's the matter with Mr. Huang?"

Huang Yao didn't speak anymore, just clenched his fists.

……

Inn.

Huang Zunde even changed his name, and asked angrily, "Brother Zhao, why did you go to apologize in the middle of the night, and still talk nonsense about the salary?"

Zhao Han looked confused: "What salary? I didn't mention the salary."

"Then did you apologize to the tenant in the middle of the night?" Huang Zunde asked.

"Yes," Zhao Han explained, "I'm a foreigner, and I want to do business in Huangjia Town in the future, but I can't offend all those tenants. My father often said that doing business and making money with anger will pay off if you hurt people. What kind of peace are you? In the future, if the warehouse is built, if the local people make trouble every three days, how will my Zhao family's business do?"

Huang Zunde reluctantly believed it, and said sadly: "You are confused. How afraid of a few scumbags? If you dare to make trouble, fight!"

Zhao Han sneered: "Of course you dare to fight, Mr. Huang, how dare I be a foreigner? I offended the local people and burned down my warehouse in the middle of the night. I'm afraid I won't cry, and I can't even find out who it is. did."

Huang Zunde could not refute.

Zhao Han added: "Brother Huang, you haven't traveled far to do business, you don't know how difficult it is here. Why do I give you so much money? Don't you just want to make a good local gentry? You really think I am A bad guy?"

"Brother Zhao is joking, and I didn't cheat you, where did I get the big bucks?" Huang Zunde was a little embarrassed and accepted this statement.

Zhao Han continued: "My Zhao family also has a warehouse in Quanzhou, because I offended the local ruffians in Quanzhou, and tens of thousands of taels of goods were burned to the ground."

Huang Zunde felt pain when he heard it, and tens of thousands of taels of goods were burned.

Zhao Han sighed and said, "Brother Huang, you beat people during the day. I'll give you money at night. Is it easy for me? In the middle of the night, it's hard to sleep with your maid in your arms?"

Huang Zunde wondered: "Is there really no mention of wages?"

"Why do I raise wages? I've had enough to eat." Zhao Han said depressedly.

Huang Zunde left and left, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

Even if Zhao Han secretly instigated the tenants, there should be some conspiracy.

But Zhao Han gave all 1000 taels of silver, so what can he do by inciting the tenants?No profit!

After thinking about it, Huang Zunde still chose to believe it, because Zhao Han had no reason to talk about wages.

It must be the tenant who delayed the spring ploughing, and with resentment, someone deliberately spread rumors!

After Huang Zunde returned home, he immediately sent more slaves to work as supervisors.Even when eating, workers are not allowed to sit together, and must be separated for more than three steps to eat.

This silver, Huang Zunde could not eat alone.

The land acquisition involved three large households, all of whom were members of the Huang family.Hundreds of slaves were dispatched that day, and the three families made up the numbers together. Huang Zunde himself could only send out more than 60.

In Master Huang's house, the number of slaves barely exceeded [-], including maids and cooks.

……

The eighth day of construction on the beach.

The anger and anger have reached a critical point. Since private communication is not allowed on the construction site, it can be described as a road.

Moreover, the treatment of workers in the rocky beach has become worse and worse.

There are a few more supervisors, and more deductions are made. The porridge provided every day is like water.The workers are not full at all. When they return home at night, they have to cook their own meals.

"boom!"

A tenant who was carrying gravel suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Why are you dizzy again?" the foreman frowned.

Another supervisor said: "I'm afraid I'm being lazy."

The foreman was amused: "Steal your ass, you eat so much every day, and you will be dizzy if you do heavy work every day."

Several overseers were laughing, waiting for a few more to die from exhaustion.

These tenants are strong laborers at home. Once they are exhausted on the construction site, they will definitely not be able to pay the rent this year.

The overseers are all the confidants of Mr. Huang, who can push the owner to take the land and transfer it to his family for farming.There is only so much land in the whole town, and the more tenants die, the more arable land will be vacated.

The tired tenant was carried to the side and lay down for a while.

Just woke up and was about to drink water, when the foreman whipped him: "I'm still lazy, go to work!"

It is to fight, it is to urge, it is best to be exhausted.

One of the paddy fields that this man farmed had a good harvest.If this person is exhausted to death, just wait for the rent arrears this year, and then take the opportunity to slam it, and he will definitely be taken away next year.

The environment is sinister, the same kind died, and they can be divided and eaten!

The workers stopped their work and glared at the supervisor, but they did not dare to rebel.

"What are you looking at? Begging for a beating!" the foreman shouted.

The accumulated anger was suppressed again and again, and everyone could only bury their heads in work.

Suddenly, Zhao Han walked slowly towards the construction site with Xiaohong and Xiaocui, followed by two inn clerks.

The foreman quickly greeted him, nodded and said, "Zhao Xianggong, why are you here?"

Zhao Han smiled and said, "I'll check the progress."

The foreman patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Xianggong Zhao, promise to do it quickly, whoever dares to be disobedient will beat him to death!"

The supervisors chimed in.

Zhao Han persuaded aloud: "Folks in the village, if you don't look up, it's better not to hit people. I'm in business, and I pay attention to being kind to make money. If you beat people, what kind of peace is there? Everyone hates me. "

Many nearby tenants heard it and thought that Mr. Zhao was reasonable, but Mr. Huang of the town was very bad.

Zhao Han asked the two inn clerks to put down the wooden barrels they had picked, and shouted loudly, "All the villagers come here. You have worked hard. I have prepared some tea as a reward for you all."

The foreman didn't dare to stop him, and hurriedly flattered: "Zhao Xianggong is really benevolent and righteous." After speaking, he shouted at the crowd, "Hurry up and come over for tea!"

The tenants gathered around, took bowls and waited to drink tea.

With a warm smile on his face, Zhao Han expressed his concern and condolences: "How are you all doing? Don't worry, you work for me and promise not to let you suffer."

Everyone looked at each other.

Suddenly, a tenant knelt down and cried bitterly, "Master Zhao, please help!"

Chapter 092 [Certificate of Name]

"What life am I saving? I'm just an out-of-town businessman."

Zhao Han quickly shook his head and refused.

The tenants looked at each other, and another one knelt down, and then hula-la knelt down in a large area.

"Master Zhao, please help!"

"Lord Zhao, do well, let us live."

"Master Zhao leaves Huangjia Town, Master Huang will not force us to work!"

"Master Zhao..."

At this moment, Master Zhao is almost dying of anger!

After more than 20 days of planning, resentment was brewing for another eight days.These oppressed tenants were not thinking of resistance, but asking Zhao Han to withdraw his capital and leave Huangjia Town.

In their opinion, Mr. Huang is brutal and tyrannical, and Mr. Zhao is kind-hearted.

Therefore, Mr. Zhao is more talkative, and a loss of 1000 taels is nothing.

And Mr. Huang is not good at talking, so we can only bear it.

A kind of bullying in disguise.

Zhao Han didn't want to kill Huang Zundao now, but wanted to chop off the tenant in front of him.Furious!

"Is the skin itchy?"

Fortunately, there was a lovely foreman to help, this fellow pulled out his whip and scolded: "Master Zhao is kind-hearted, and he will bring you tea in person, but you all want to make Master Zhao lose money. You have no conscience, ungrateful things. You are not allowed. It's tea time, let's go to work!"

The overseers whipped their whips one after another, causing the tenants to hide their heads.
