When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

After listening to Guanshi Qi's detailed introduction of the position currently recruited by the Shen family, the man was still worried, hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth again: "Guanshi Qi, really took us to do these things, not..."

Guanshi Qi was not dissatisfied with the repeated questioning of the person in front of him. After all, it was indeed the first time for the Shen family to show up, at least among ordinary people. It is human nature to be hesitant to be afraid of being tricked into asking, but it should be Attitude is still necessary, too kind is not enough, didn't you see the high-spirited look of Li Yuanwai's steward next to him?Thinking this way in his heart, his face became serious, who wouldn't put on airs?

"Because you are the first person who is willing to work in Shen's house, I don't care about you, I repeat, all of this is true, come here to register if you want to do it, and leave if you don't want to do it , stop talking nonsense to me."

After Qi Guanshi said this, the few people who were still around the Shen family breathed a sigh of relief.They just said, how can there be a boss who is so talkative, and his mentality is more peaceful than any small family with a few extra money on the street. At first glance, he looks more and more like a liar.Fortunately, the Shen family is not without temper, their suspicion has been slightly reduced.

Isn't it just to register the name and birth, and it's not to sign the contract immediately. The few people don't have so many scruples.A suspected wealthy family who has never heard of it, would it be possible to seek their bad luck one by one?After thinking about it and having no worries, several people stepped forward to sign up.

After someone took the lead, the Shen family began to slowly gather labor waiting for work.Although there were not many people who actually came forward to register, after one morning, nearly twenty people were recorded in Qi Guanshi's book.

Fang Tianlin saw that everything was normal here, and he didn't need to look at it, so he took the roster recorded in the morning, and took some people back to the inn first.

At this time Shen Jiahe hadn't come back yet, but someone sent a message saying that he was still negotiating with the buyer and asked Fang Tianlin to have lunch first without waiting for him.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was fine, Fang Tianlin didn't care too much.Shen Jiahe's experience in the past two years can be regarded as a result, he doesn't want to be involved in everything.

After lunch, Wei Xiaodong took two guards to inquire about the information of the people recorded in the roster. As long as they were true, the Shen family would hire these people.At the same time, he is also responsible for finding out the details of beggars in the city, especially those who are young and have no sneaky behavior are the key investigation objects.

Fang Tianlin went out again after a short rest, this time he was shopping.

The items brought by the Shen family from Yunzhou City are quite complete, basically including agricultural work and daily life needs, but the quantity cannot be guaranteed, and many utensils are insufficient, such as axes, chisels and hammers needed for quarrying and repairing stones, various Model iron drills and wedges, etc., need to be supplemented.

In the past month, Fang Tianlin has visited all the hills around Huanggu. Among them are several stone mountains, and there are also clay. Stone yards and kilns can be built, but they are short of people, so they have not started construction. It will depend on whether this time Can recruit people.

Fang Tianlin planned to go to the blacksmith to order dozens of sets of tools first, and then see if he could buy some ore.

As a result, when negotiating the price, the blacksmith opened his mouth like a lion, and he also had an attitude of whether he wanted it or not, which really made people feel angry.

Fang Tianlin stared at the blacksmith carefully for a while, and walked away without saying a word.This person is so arrogant, it must be because of the strong backstage, the shop bully is probably talking about the situation in front of him.It's just that he's not a vegetarian either, he's never been subjected to such birdishness in Yunzhou City, so he's really not used to them.

Linshan County is not big, but this is not the only blacksmith's shop. Fang Tianlin chose this place only because this blacksmith's shop is the largest and has the most complete range of goods. You don't need to make a reservation, and you can buy a lot of ready-made ironware.Since they don't take this little business seriously, there's no need for him to plead for a fight with a stern look on his face.

There are other blacksmith shops in the city, which shows that no matter how powerful this one is, it is not so big that it can overwhelm the sky with one hand. Otherwise, Linshan County may have been dominated by their family long ago. Where is there room for other blacksmith shops to survive?It is best to run a monopoly business. I think everyone knows this. As long as they have the ability, I believe there is no one that will not try.Obviously, they can't hold down other businesses.

"Master, did you really let them leave just like that?" the apprentice asked a little puzzled.

"You, you are still too tender. This is the master's family asking me to test it. If this Shen family who came out of nowhere is tough, then let's wait and see. If it is weak, hehe..." The blacksmith handed you a "know me" You know, everyone knows the look in the eyes of several of his apprentices.Although this business is good, it is not in the eyes of the owner. If you lose it, you will lose it. But if you act rashly, the two families will become enemies, and neither will act rashly until you find out the other party's details.Anyone who can gain a foothold in Linshan County is not stupid, is he?People who are too reckless may be able to gain power for a while, but they will not last long after all. Haven't you seen that all the people who have lived a good life so far are very wealthy people?

Even though he would still offend the Shen family by doing so, if the Shen family didn't even have this bit of tolerance, how much could they do?Only those who can bend and stretch can be a qualified person in charge. They can't suffer a little bit of loss, can't take a little bit of anger, and can't go far with sincerity.

Fang Tianlin visited several remaining blacksmith shops one after another. This time, everything went smoothly, and the price was within his acceptable range, but the output was obviously insufficient. It was not until he visited all the blacksmith shops that he could match the ironware he needed. together.

Huanggu is located in the mountains, and there is no shortage of game. The problem is that it is impossible for the Shen family to send so many people to hunt, it would be too wasteful of manpower.Besides, the people in Guzhong are still in the big pot meal period, no matter how generous Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe are, they will not let them eat big fish and meat all at once, which is impossible even in modern times.I didn’t look at those big factories that provide meals. They are all vegetarian and less meat.

The situation in Jingchao is even worse. The hired workers can eat three dry meals a day, that’s all thanks to God. The meals provided by more employers are quite poor.But most of them are made of low-grade rice and noodles. No matter the taste or nutrition, they can’t compare with polished rice and white noodles. Meat dishes are even rarer. Will be merciful and add a meat dish or two.Even so, there are not a few people who want to do this job.

Modern manpower is becoming more and more valuable, but Jingchao's side is not. In order to survive, many people even sell themselves as slaves.It is true that people are only valuable when they are alive, and it is all over when they die. What's more, most people have families and they can't just care about themselves, which greatly narrows the scope of their choices.

In fact, to be honest, Fang Tianlin is capable of providing such a good life for the servants of the Shen family, but why would he do this?Since ancient times, it has been easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Ask yourself, even if he encounters the latter, he will inevitably be disappointed.This is still in his own down-and-out situation, what if it is the employer who caused his situation?Who would have no complaints?

Just think about how the employers initially provided their servants with good food and drink, but later they couldn’t afford it and wanted to reduce the expenses. How would they react?Fang Tianlin knew without thinking, except for a few loyal and grateful people who were willing to share weal and woe with the Lord's family, how many other people would think of them?Don't think too much of yourself, anyway, even if it is not selfish, people with a conscience still have pimples in their hearts to some extent, at least dissatisfaction with the master will slowly grow invisibly.

Don't you see that the major factories and companies in modern times can only raise wages upwards, but not downwards. If there is a reverse situation, if it is not such a bad situation, it is not far from the decline of this company.

People's Congresses are very realistic, kindness can't be eaten, and people will look down on them if they are too kind. Maybe people who are usually groveling don't know what to say about their employers behind their backs.

Fang Tianlin never thought of testing human nature in the past, and if he can develop smoothly, he will never sail against the current.The Shen family provides three meals for the employees, and they can still get 150 copper coins a month, which is not bad. If you want to change, you have to take it step by step. If you go too far ahead, it is easy to lose the chain midway.

Fang Tianlin was right. In this era, there are a lot of people who can’t eat three meals a day, especially in the border areas, where the number of poor people is even greater.Right now, most people are still in a wait-and-see state. If it proves that the Shen family is not fooling people, there may be quite a few people who are willing to work for the Shen family.

Still, it's not enough to have a regular source of meat.Huanggu is a relatively closed place, once you enter, you can't get out easily.With more and more people living in the barren valley, especially after the improvement of the living conditions, the basic necessities of food, housing and transportation must be improved step by step.

Fang Tianlin went around the market and found that the types of food sold in the stalls were extremely limited, most of them were corn and potatoes, and there was basically no trace of wheat or rice.After thinking about it for a while, he understood what was going on. It was estimated that it was being monopolized by strong people. Apart from eating for their own family, farmers could only secretly trade it with other people if they wanted to sell it. No one dared to display it in the market openly. If you do this, I am afraid that someone will come to find fault with them immediately.

Fang Tianlin asked casually, and it was exactly as he thought. The grain grown by the farmers was collected by the grain merchants at a low price and sold at a high price.Farmers worked hard for half a year, but in the end they all took advantage of the grain merchants. Their hearts were bleeding, but they could do nothing. They could only struggle year after year at the bottom.Those who can break free will have a brighter future and become the new exploiters, and those who can't will continue to be squeezed.

It seems that everyone has accepted this rule. As long as there is no clear robbery, no one will resist this fate.

Fang Tianlin narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the light in his eyes, and did not express any opinion on this.He seems to be in the same class as the grain merchant now, and he is also an exploiter in essence. If the small vendor didn't see that their group didn't look like that kind of domineering person, I'm afraid he wouldn't even dare to say these words.
