Chapter 569 Workshop Reform
On the second day, the two of them did not delay and immediately started implementing the plan they had discussed.
Bai Zhi first got angry in front of everyone in the workshop, and then announced in front of everyone, "You people gathered together to fight privately. This incident is extremely bad. Everyone will not get their wages this month!"
Of course the workers were dissatisfied, but Bai Zhi's White Tiger Guards were standing nearby. No one dared to take action without saying anything, but everyone was filled with anger and wanted to eat Bai Zhi alive.
Just when the workers' emotions reached their peak, Li Yue stood up and knelt down to beg for mercy, "City Lord, this incident is all caused by me. I was the one who neglected the food of my brothers and deducted their wages. If you want to punish me, , please punish me alone!"
Li Yue's apology made the workers feel relieved a lot.
Bai Zhi looked very embarrassed, but she helped Li Yue up distressedly, with tears in her eyes, "Miss Yue, please get up quickly, what's wrong? It's all those men who can't control themselves!"
Bai Zhi walked to the middle of the workers and asked them with tears in her eyes, "It's true that Miss Yue used to be a prostitute, but you all used to be refugees, untouchables, and even bandits. You should touch your conscience and think about it. Does it feel good to be bullied by others? Do you also want to be trampled on by dignitaries like this?"
The workers became silent. Some of them were reflecting or feeling aggrieved.
"Miss Yue is a vulnerable person like you, why do you have to bully her and humiliate her? We are all suffering. You help me and I help you, so that we can survive. But if you stab me, I will I'll stab you with a knife, and we'll have a quarrel today and a fight tomorrow. When will I be able to make this musket? If I can't make it, what's the use of this workshop?"
"It's better to break up as soon as possible and go back to the mountains to become bandits! But don't blame me for being cruel. I will kill you on a whim one day!"
Bai Zhi pointed at them and scolded them, speaking angrily.
Li Yue knelt down again and kowtowed to Bai Zhi many times, "Lord City Lord, please forgive us! Although this musket is not yet formed, it is the result of the brothers who worked hard day and night, just like we raised it with our own hands. Just like your children, the city lord is also a mother, so please appreciate our hard work and give us some more time in our workshop!"
Although it is an exaggeration to say that they work day and night, these are parts made by the workers themselves. No one will deny their achievements. Now that they suddenly say that they want to disband the workshop, they are also a little panicked.
What's more, people always have to eat. After the workshop was disbanded, they couldn't find new jobs, and everyone was panicking.
Bai Zhi and Li Yue confronted each other for a long time, during which time they sighed and finally relented, "Hey! That's all! Since Miss Yue said this, I can't bear it, but whether you can do it well or not depends on you! Within one year If there is no more results, there is no need for this workshop to exist!”
After saying that, Bai Zhi waved her sleeves and left angrily.
The workers had no choice, and Li Yue was the only person Bai Zhi trusted, so they had no choice but to find Li Yue for discussion.
Li Yue took the responsibility for everything, "Brothers, don't worry, I will definitely keep the workshop!"
A few days later, Li Yue brought good news to the brothers, "The city lord said, let us work hard. As long as we can really develop it, everyone will be rewarded!"
The workers immediately cheered, "Really? What's the reward?"
Li Yue smiled brightly, "Of course it's a reward of silver! In addition, I have a great thing to tell you!"
Everyone was curious about what this great good thing was, and they all urged Li Yue, "Miss Yue, don't be so pretentious, please tell me!"
Li Yue whetted her appetite before she spoke, "I begged the city lord all night, and the city lord reluctantly agreed. From now on, each of the brothers' wages will be increased by two hundred cents!"
"Two hundred coins? Real or fake?" someone exclaimed.
This is a big deal! This salary has doubled for some people! The money they get from this workshop is not small in itself, but now it is even more unbelievable!
They can work in this workshop until they are old and die!
After this operation, some people even called Li Yue her aunt!
But the vigorous reforms are just the beginning.
After a few days, the workshop hired several female workers to take charge of some light work, and Li Yue was no longer alone.
A few days later, a decree was promulgated in the workshop. Those who did not respect others' wishes and committed rape would be castrated first and then killed, and all land and property would be confiscated. Everyone who knows and fails to report is equally guilty. Rewards are available to all whistleblowers.
At first, Bai Zhi didn't publicize it. She just asked someone to read it once in front of everyone, and then posted it on the wall without putting too much emphasis on it.
At first, no one paid much attention to it, and their lives were just ordinary.
But there was something different. Li Yue gave herself a special set of work clothes. The clothes were cool, but only half of her arms were exposed. The white arms dangled and made the men feel itchy.
The law has an effect, but it only has some effect. Some people do not believe in evil and insist on challenging this authority. They start to tease Li Yue verbally and touch her with his hands.
It was this teasing that Li Yue was waiting for. She even lured the person who reported it. Everything was perfect timing.
On that day, the Dongchuang Incident happened, and these people ran into the muzzle of the gun themselves.
Bai Zhi doesn't care whether they were raped or attempted rape. If they can't control their lower bodies, they just can't. If they don't give them some color, they won't believe in evil!
Castration and beheading are separate. After castration, one has to endure several days of torture before being beheaded.
On the day of the execution, Bai Zhi made a huge noise and moved small stools for everyone to sit at the execution site and watch.
Seeing the hair being cut off in public, everyone tensed up.
The person who reported the report also received a reward secretly. Looking at the generous reward, the person nodded and bowed, "Well done! Do it again next time!"
This execution still achieved its purpose of serving as a warning to others. For a while, even the rumors became much less frequent, at least Li Yue couldn't hear them anymore.
Bai Zhi has been accompanying Li Yue these days, and the implementation of each thing, and the sense of control from panic, made the haze in Li Yue's heart fade away little by little.
However, such a cruel punishment still has sequelae. This incident made everyone panic. Seeing the woman was like seeing a ghost, for fear of being sentenced to death.
Some people spoke for the castrated men, explaining that it was the women who dressed like this to seduce them. Why should they cut off the men? Why not take the women to dip in the pig cage!
This is not a good thing. If there are too many restrictions, it will be impossible to work together.
Bai Zhi thought it was funny. She wanted to break this shame restriction, so she introduced a etiquette to everyone, which was the handshake ceremony. When she returned to Danning, she would definitely promote this etiquette in Denning City.
So she gathered everyone together, stretched out her hand to a worker, and said: "Everyone is optimistic! This is the handshake ceremony. The handshake should not be too long or too short, and it should be solemn."
The worker hesitated and didn't dare to stretch out his hand, "This... you won't say I'm rude!"
"No! You can't force others to hold their hands if they don't want to!" Bai Zhi stretched out her hand, waiting for the worker to hand it into hers.
The worker hesitated for a long time and wiped the sweat from his palms several times before he successfully grasped the hand with Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi didn't have a trace of shame, she shook her hand three times solemnly, and then let go, "Can you guys see clearly?"
"You see clearly...Isn't this just trying to hold someone's hand..."
Bai Zhi replied with a smile, "This is a greeting! From tomorrow on, when we meet, we will use a handshake to greet you!"
At the beginning, everyone was looking for something new and shook hands with anyone they caught. A few old perverts even held the girls' hands, row by row, and everyone was immersed in the joy of taking advantage of others legally.
But as time went by, such contact became commonplace, everyone lost interest, and everything returned to normal.
Even Li Yue wearing short sleeves into the forging furnace workshop became commonplace, and the female workers gradually relaxed.
The barriers are getting smaller and smaller.
This experience also made Li Yue understand the secret of managing people. She seemed to be more confident when facing things that she couldn't overcome.
After Bai Zhi settled the matter with Li Yue, she set out to return to Danning. On the day she left, Li Yue sent her far away.
She was reluctant to leave. After Bai Zhi got on the carriage, she caught up with Bai Zhi and asked her a question, "Foreman Zhu... he said he wanted to marry me, can I..."
Can I marry him?
Li Yue couldn't even say such words. Her body was as dirty as mud, and she couldn't say anything.
Bai Zhi suddenly smiled, brightly, "As long as you like it!"
"Really?" Li Yue's eyes instantly became wet.
"Of course it's true! You can do whatever you want!"
Li Yue was still hesitant.
Bai Zhi smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, he will be a good man if you are doing well. If you are not doing well, just come to me! I will take out your anger!"
Li Yue's nose felt sour, she jumped on the carriage and hugged Bai Zhi hard, "Thank you..."
