Fang Tianlin knew that the conditions he raised were a bit harsh, he had relatives at home, no one who sold himself, no one with unknown origin.Just the first one, only half of the people are screened out, but few people meet the second one. Linshan County has never had a large number of immigrants, and high-end servants and servants will not appear here. Once they enter the city, they may be picked away by various wealthy households. .
This is different from modern times. In the Jing Dynasty, even if they were sold by their parents and grandparents, not many people would hold grudges against them.Moreover, such people are also a very small number. Whether they want to or not, as long as they live in Linshan County, they cannot completely bypass their parents. If parents come to ask for money, it is unfilial if you don't give it.
What's more terrible is that most of the sold children will take the initiative to ask someone to take it back even if no one in their family comes to ask them for money, or take it home by themselves when they are not on duty.
This kind of thinking may be difficult for modern people to understand.In Fang Tianlin's previous life, if anyone dared to give away their children to sell others, they might be able to recognize their relatives again without knowing it. It is good to live separate lives and have no intersection with each other. If the thinking is a bit extreme, even revenge may be possible.
Those who are sold cannot guarantee that they will not communicate with their parents, and those who sell themselves to help their families overcome difficulties are even less likely to give up this idea.Therefore, these people are not in Fang Tianlin's consideration at all.
Before the Shen family has enough strength, the entry and exit of Huanggu will be controlled, it is easy to enter Huanggu, but it is difficult to get out.What if someone's relatives come to the door, and someone is reluctant to give up for a long time?
Fang Tianlin didn't intend to cause trouble for himself, he would rather slow down his development than waste his energy on such things.
Looking at the group of ragged, yellow and thin people in front of him, Shen Jiahe couldn't help thinking of those years when he lived in Guangyan Village.Although the Shen family has never been so downcast, he has also seen poor people in the village. They are really dilapidated houses with leaky roof tiles. How much better people are.
"Let them wash up, and then make them some porridge to drink, drip a little oil, not too thick, their bodies will not be able to bear it." After explaining, Shen Jiahe and Fang Tianlin stepped out of the room together.
Back in the upper room, Shen Jiahe flipped through the three registers, and calculated that, so far, the total number of beggars labor plus servants, and the harvest from the three parties is just over 100 people, which is far from their target number.It seems that I really have to go to the village, but if it doesn't work, I have to go to the neighboring county to recruit people.
Another day passed, and the city was searched again, and the Shen family could barely gather nearly 200 people, and staying here any longer would have no effect.
Early the next morning, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe led the team away.
"My lord, the Shen family is gone."
"No one made a move?" Mo Baisong's eyes flashed with interest.
The aide shook his head.
"This is strange." Mo Zhixian put down his pen, and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, "Shenjia Road Guide and Household Posts are all there. Do you believe the information registered on it?"
"This, it's hard to say." Ding Zhongqiu, the staff member, contemplated for a long time, but in the end due to too little contact and incomplete information, there was no result.
"I really hope that the Shen family can disturb the wind and rain here, so maybe we still have a chance." Mo Baisong's eyes flashed, and the thoughts that had been silent and no longer had extravagant hopes seemed to have the time to see the light of day again.
"Your Excellency has waited for such a long time, you might as well wait a little longer. Before you know the details of the Shen family, it's best not to act rashly." Ding Zhongqiu reminded at the right time, lest Mo Baisong, who he was working for, would get over-excited and make improper decisions.One must know that many gentry in the city let go after many trials, it was only because they still couldn't figure out the details of the Shen family, and the Shen family didn't touch their interests for the time being, so the two sides lived in peace.Once the Shen family threatens them, or if the Shen family is not worried, they may stretch out their sharp claws at any time to scrape oil and water from the Shen family until there is nothing to scrape.
"Don't worry, I'm not so impulsive yet. As you said, I've lived through the years when my power was almost taken away by others. I really can't wait for this moment." Mo Baisong looked Back to normal, sat down again, picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip of tea comfortably, "Sit down too, don't stand up, let's have a good chat and see where is the best place to start."
"Yes, my lord." Ding Zhongqiu didn't refuse, sat down obediently, and began to drink tea slowly.
Fang Tianlin's thinking is similar to Ding Zhongqiu's. I don't know which generation or whose idea it is. The landowners and squires in Linshan County are now adopting the model of constantly pulling wool.Once the hair on the people below grows, it will be cut off. This is really an endless generation of descendants.
The person who can come up with this method is smart enough, and there is no guarantee for others, at least the future generations will have no worries about food and clothing.If it was just this point, Fang Tianlin wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it. The problem was that the entire Linshan County gentry could reach an agreement and work together on this point, which would not be easy.Even if doing so kills the motivation of the people to work hard, it is enough to make him look high.
No matter how small Linshan County is, it will not be easy to maintain this situation for such a long time.You must know that people are easily blinded by immediate interests, only seeing the present, not the future.Why not sacrifice the future in order to make more profits?Not too many people hold this idea.
Fang Tianlin and his group went out of the city very smoothly. Once they arrived at the place agreed with various vendors outside the city, they paid the final payment, received the poultry and livestock, and counted the people. After seeing no one missing, they all set off.
There were only thirty or so people brought out by Fang Tianlin from Huanggu, only they had horses to travel, and the rest could only carry their hands on their shoulders and walk on their legs. One can imagine how slow the journey was.
Although a contract has been signed with the Shen family, there are still not a few people who feel anxious.It's just that the way forward is beyond their control. Even if they don't know the situation of the Shen family, just looking at the Shen family who are constantly cruising in the front and rear of the team and on the two wings, they don't even dare to regret it.
It is already the instinct of the local people to do what to do without arousing resentment from the host family and at the same time make their lives better.The moment they signed the contract, their fate was closely related to the Shen family. I really hope everything goes as the Shen family steward said.This is the greatest expectation of everyone except the servants who are not free, who are willing to work for the Shen family.If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have traveled all the way to the deep mountains, and they wouldn't have had their foreheads pinched, and there was no benefit. Who would want to leave the place where they have lived for a long time and go with a stranger?
Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe walked on the right side of the middle section of the team, they pushed back the rest, and there was no one within a few meters of them.
"Tianlin, we flew back to Huanggu yesterday morning on the [-]nd. With the speed of the horses, we should be able to run into the people who came to meet us at noon at the latest." Shen Jiahe looked up at the sky, and he was about to enter the mountain. There was a whistle.
After a while, the sound of "cuckoo" sounded above his head.
"So fast?" Shen Jiahe was a little surprised. He just said that casually just now and didn't give much hope. He didn't expect that the people who came out to meet him were waiting in the mountains early. It was only half morning.
"They packed lightly, and they didn't bring anything except water and weapons. Although this speed is faster than expected, it's not too much." Fang Tianlin's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.
The rest of the people in the barren valley can only have a full stomach at present, and if they want to eat well, they can't for the time being.The guards are different. They eat meat and vegetables for three meals. Currently, there is a shortage of labor, so they fill the vacancy temporarily.Even so, the guards still allocate a period of time every day to train according to the plan formulated by Fang Tianlin, which consumes a lot of energy every day. If they are not allowed to eat well, their bodies will not be able to bear it.
You get what you pay for, the more you invest, the greater the return you receive.This is the case with the guards. After a few months, their physical fitness has not been what it used to be, and it is not too difficult to quickly shuttle through the mountains and forests.
The guards who came to meet him were not at the entrance of the mountain. No. [-] led a group of people and walked in for about a quarter of an hour before the two teams met.
Through the binoculars, Fang Tianlin noticed that the trailing people were still falling far behind them, so he didn't lead them out of the team immediately, until he walked forward for a while and the trailing people retreated before he left the team with his hands.
"Tianlin, we can't recruit enough people at the moment, let's find a way slowly, don't fight with others." Shen Jiahe fell at the end of the line, hiding his worries, and sent Fang Tianlin away with a smile.
"Well, I'll pay attention."
Fang Tianlin's voice was still floating in the mountains, but the person had disappeared into the forest and vegetation.
After entering the mountain, everyone saw that the Shen family didn't show any scary faces, and they all relaxed.In the mountains, walking for half a day may not be able to see a single person. What the Shen family really wanted to do, they couldn't resist.It seems that they were not dragged by the Shen family to work as free coolies. In that case, even if they lived in the mountains all their lives and never came out, they would still be able to live a good life.
Fang Tianlin didn't want to clash with the local gentry right now, he didn't go to the villages on the plain as planned, but went straight to the mountain villages.
The guides are all ready-made, they are the hired workers recruited by the Shen family these days.Under their lead, the group soon came to the first village hidden in the mountains.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our village?"
Fang Tianlin and the others were stopped before they got close to the village.
"Uncle Chai, it's me, Xiaojiu, I'll bring my boss to our village to recruit people."
"Recruiting people?" Shi Chai's eyes lit up, he pulled Xin Jiu aside, and asked in a low voice, "Quickly tell Uncle Chai, what kind of people does your employer recruit?"
Xin Jiu didn't hide anything, and told Uncle Chai everything he knew.Uncle Chai has a good relationship with his family and meets the employer's requirements for hiring people, which is one of the goals of his trip.He has observed carefully that although all members of the Shen family are very strong, they are not vicious people, nor are they like the lackeys of those landlords. If they are not treated as human beings, if they work for the Shen family, there may be hope for life.
This is different from modern times. In the Jing Dynasty, even if they were sold by their parents and grandparents, not many people would hold grudges against them.Moreover, such people are also a very small number. Whether they want to or not, as long as they live in Linshan County, they cannot completely bypass their parents. If parents come to ask for money, it is unfilial if you don't give it.
