With no one to help him, Chen Erlai became anxious and said, "I don't care. Anyway, it is a definite fact that Widow Chen owes my family money. This money must be paid. Don't try to default on it!"

Chen Changsheng smiled and nodded, "I will definitely give you the money, but it won't be settled until the matter is completed."

If everyone casually said that she would pay for her wages, she would go to the daily settlement. If so many helpers in her kiln factory and on the construction site were paid on a daily basis, they would not have to do anything else every day but just sit there and pay them wages.

And if you give the money to Er Lai's aunt now and turn around and go home, Chen Er Lai will definitely take the money away.

But to Chen Erlai's ears, he just wanted to steal his family's three pennies.

"They say there are profiteers and profiteers, and there is no business without profiteers. From what I can see, you just don't want to give me money."

Chen Erlai seemed to remember something, rolled his eyes, and said loudly, "I just asked about it. I will help Widow Chen make lunch for you. I only give you three cents a day, which is a little less. I heard that you are collecting mugwort leaves in Murakami. Powder and elm bark powder cost five or six cents per kilogram."

After working hard all afternoon, it would be better to go to the mountains to collect pine cones and earn money quickly.

He became more and more energetic as he spoke, pointing at the onlookers and shouting, "You pay these tile masters and those who transport tiles thirty or forty cents a day, and those who dig the foundations twenty cents a day, but you give the kilns How much does the job cost?

Everyone commented, she took advantage of how much money she had and just raised the wages at will. What's the point of this? It’s so unfair to the kiln workers!

Building a house for her would earn her 20, 300 or 40 cents a day, which is one tael of silver a month, which is much more than what she earns as a kiln worker. Only a fool would choose a kiln worker! "

As soon as his words came out, two or three women in the crowd started whispering.

One of the women, who was in her fifties, thought it was reasonable and agreed, "My eldest son is a kiln worker. He has to make adobe every day. He earns 400 cash a month. He only works for 10 cash a day. It's not even close to that." Go to Chen Daniu to transport tiles."

"My younger brother is also a kiln worker, and he doesn't make as much money as Ma Daju, who earns several hundred a month. She's a woman, so why?!"

...

Hearing someone agreeing with him, Chen Erlai was even more excited, "That's right. A kiln worker only earns more than a dozen pennies for a hard day's work. How can Chen Daniu earn thirty pennies a day transporting tiles? How can Ma Daju earn 30 pennies a day? Several hundred a month?

Let me tell you, Widow Chen, you are a liar! It’s a lie, do you understand? "

Now, either the kiln workers’ wages should be increased, or the lunch cooks’ wages should be increased, otherwise I will tell everyone to quit! "

Several women have already agreed with him just now. As long as he can incite more people to side with him, will the widow honestly increase the wages of the kiln workers?

When Chen Changsheng in the crowd heard this, he let out an inaudible sneer.

Blackmail her?

Based on her character, if anyone feels dissatisfied with the low wages, they can openly raise it from the beginning.

If they want to make some small moves in the middle of the work, and want to threaten her with a strike to raise their wages, Chen Changsheng will only give them an egg.

Get lost and will never cooperate again.

People with evil intentions are not worthy of support.

Chen Changsheng looked at everyone present and smiled, "Four hundred cash a month for a kiln worker is indeed a bit less."

The first batch of fired red bricks were transported to the government, and County Magistrate Bai personally said that the quality of the bricks was very good. Many people in the county came to inquire, and when they heard that the bricks came from her kiln, they all placed orders with her.

Although she had not entered the city in the past few days, the county magistrate sent a message to her, saying that five families were already interested.

The order was huge. Seeing how hard the kiln workers were working on this hot day, Chen Changsheng originally planned to give everyone a raise.

Employees who work hard for themselves cannot make people feel cold.

However, her proposal to raise wages is completely different from someone else's instigation to threaten a wage increase through a strike.

"I originally planned to increase the wages of the kiln masters." Chen Changsheng said warmly, "How much do you think the increase should be?"

Chen Erlai and several wives who agreed were immediately dumbfounded. They thought it would take a long time to succeed.

Why did Widow Chen really give them a raise after just making a fuss?

When those women caught Chen Changsheng's gaze, they shrank their necks and whispered, "I don't ask for much, just ten cents more every day."

Chen Erlai was not happy anymore, pointed at the women and yelled angrily, "Hey, hey, we made good promises before we came here. It was obvious that the increase would be 20 cents, how could you go back on your word?

Let me tell you, don’t go too far as a human being. It’s really like a lion opening its mouth and coming. "

The women still shrank their heads like quails and said nothing.

Chen Changsheng glanced around and said to Dafu next to him, "Dafu, hurry up and get a pen and paper. Write down the names of those who want a salary increase and how much they want to increase their wages. Don't miss any one."

Dafu ran home and came back not long after.

Several women actually came forward in a swarm and gave the names of their men.

Chen Erlai stared at the people queuing up to register, with a smile on his lips.

A widow is a widow, and he brought a few people to make a fuss, and it ended.

I thought Widow Chen was very capable, but it was nothing more than that.

After all, women can't achieve great things.

After these women were registered, he would stand up and say a few words, asking the helpers not to be greedy and ask less for the price, and increase it to fifteen cents.

At that time, Widow Chen saw him helping to speak, and she was so moved that she might give him a gratitude fee, and he could also take this opportunity to hook up with Widow Chen.

Turning around, he went to find those women again to get some benefits...

Absolutely!

This idea of ​​his is simply brilliant!

After Dafu finished registering, he handed the paper to Chen Changsheng.

There are five people on the list.

The eldest son of Mrs. Chen, the third family at the entrance of the village, wanted to add another ten cents. Yao'er, the mistress of the second house beside the farm, wanted to add eight cents. Mistress Chen’s house in the west end of the village...

She didn't have much impression of these people.

Chen Changsheng glanced around the area with a deep look, "Are there any people who feel that their wages are low and want to increase their wages?"

No one said a word.

She then named them again and asked, "Do you also want to increase your wages for the masonry workers and those who dig the foundation and transport materials?"

Chen Erlai howled, "If you seize such a good opportunity, there will be no store like this after passing this village."

More than forty men shook their heads in unison.

They were from the same village, and they would usually take care of any family's problems, not to mention that Chen Changsheng paid such a high salary.

The six masonry workers who went to the county and Fucheng to do work knew that the price in Fucheng was at most the same. And they have been doing this business all year round, so they can't just sit around and raise prices at will.

Chen Changsheng's eyes circled around the troublesome thorns again, and with a smile on his lips, he said, "Dafu, you will inform Aunt Ma later and ask her to give each of the kiln workers an extra hundred cents." Monthly money.”

"mother!"

Dafu was anxious.
