leered at Li Yuyao.Doesn't he believe Yang Lin can come up with itHaving made a written agreement, when the time comes, I will receive both money and people, achieving a win-win situation.Zhao Fugui...Liu Liang ran away with his tail between his legs, and the villagers all cheered.
Yang Lin stood high up and announced:
"From today on, all the laborers and tenant farmers working for Liu Jiayuan can come to me for work!"
"The wages are the same, all five cents!"
"Ten wen for the artisan!"
"I'll pay back the debt owed to the Liu family for him!"
And the whole family can come here and work together!
"Everyone who works here will have at least one pork feast per month!"
"Bonuses for holidays!"
After Yang Lin finished speaking, the villagers in attendance once again erupted in excitement.
They could no longer contain their excitement and had to tell the relatives and friends still working at the Liu family's.
Liu's family hired laborers have long wanted to leave Liu's family.
They are just worried that there won't be many jobs available for them in Yanglin, and if they are suppressed by Liu the Landlord, Yanglin might not be able to keep going. Then, they will have to go back and beg Liu the Landlord.
...and today's events completely dispelled their concerns.
On one side, it's getting up early and working all day, only earning two cents.
On the other side, there's less work, but you can still get five cents!
...in contrast to each other...
It's not even comparable!
"Yang Lin, do you really need so many people"
"Yes, Liu the landlord has a lot of people working for him, over a hundred! If everyone brought their families here to work, there would be at least two or three hundred people!"
The villagers all looked anxiously at Yang Lin.
Yang Lin patted his chest and said, "I, Yang Lin, always keep my word!"
As for whether I can handle this many people, don't worry. Besides tofu and Qianzhang, we will have new industries in a few days. Then, no matter how many people come, it won't be too much!
With Yang Lin's assurance, the villagers cheered again. Many of them couldn't wait to call their friends and relatives.
……
Liu's Family.
Liu Liang came stumbling in from outside, his nose and face bruised, crying.
"Daddy... they bullied me!"
Liu Youcai was taken aback.
"My child, who beat you like this"
Who is it Who did this
Liu Youcai glared furiously.
"Father, it's Yang Lin, he beat me... Father, you have to avenge me!"
Liu Liang cried and recounted the events.
Yesterday, he smashed the tofu shop and was still feeling pleased with himself. Therefore, this morning, he took people to the riverbank to show off his strength.
Result unexpectedly, when going there was so imposing, when coming back it was so miserable!
He had never suffered such a loss from childhood to adulthood. At this moment, he was crying and full of grievances.
"What injustice!"
Liu Youcai slammed his fist on the table: "That Yang Lin, he even dared to hit you! He really doesn't put our family in his eyes. Does he really think our Liu family is easy to bully"
"Father, what should we do now They are too vicious, and our people can't beat them..."
Liu Liang was already at a loss.
Just then, the butler rushed in.
"Master, master, something terrible has happened! Those commoners have come to demand their wages, saying they won't work for us anymore!"
The butler dashed in, shouting, and then saw that the master and young master were also there, their faces as pale as death.
"What"
Liu Youcai glared fiercely at the butler: "Speak clearly, what exactly happened"
The steward said, "It's said that Yang Lin put out the word, for anyone who leaves us and goes to work for him, he will pay off their debts, and give those peasants five cash a day..." As the steward spoke, even he felt a twinge of interest.
Alas, he was a house slave, already sold to the Liu family. Thus, no matter what, he was tied to the Liu family, with no other options possible.
"What"
"How dare he steal someone from our home"
"How could this be!"
Liu's beard quivered with wealth.
"Master, you must make a decision quickly! Those commoners have blocked the accounting room and are all demanding their wages."
"Humph! Let them wait!" Liu Youcai said coldly, "They want to work in Yang Lin's place and get paid In their dreams!"
"You bring how many people If anyone doesn't listen, beat him up!"
"But..." the steward said with difficulty, "outside, it's all being spread that Yang Lin's security detail beat up our young master. Those commoners seem to not be afraid of us anymore."
As he spoke, the butler unconsciously glanced at Liu Liang and immediately realized that the rumors were true.
"Father... what should we do now If no one comes to work for us, how will our fields be taken care of"
Liu Liang looked wronged and pitiful.
"Shut up!"
Liu Youcai glared fiercely at Liu Liang. He was already furious, and hearing Liu Liang's words only made him even angrier.
"You go down first, I already have an idea about this," Liu Youcai said.
"But what about the mud legs..." the butler asked.
"Tell them to settle with them in two days."
"Yes!"
The butler left.
Liu Liang hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Father, what should we do We have so much farmland. If nobody works it, it will all go to waste!"
"Why don't we raise the wages for the laborers too As long as we pay them the same amount as Yang Lin, they won't leave."
His family owns over a thousand acres of farmland. If all the laborers and tenant farmers left, those over a thousand acres would be ruined!
Liu Youcai poked Liu Liang's head hard: "Can you use your brain Asking for a raise How did your father teach you Can you get used to those peasants with this kind of thing"
To make the commoners obedient, one must mercilessly exploit them, keeping them just alive but perpetually hungry.
"If you really raise their wages, they won't even complain!"
Moreover, Yang Lin is crazy. Even if we really get a raise, it's not guaranteed that Yang Lin won't also increase his prices! What if he raises them again What will we do then
Liu Youcai glared fiercely at Liu Liang.
Liu Liang was dumbfounded: "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. Then wouldn't we be completely hopeless"
"Alas!"
Liu Youcai let out a heavy sigh.
You're so naive and lack the ruthlessness!
"You have to learn from your father, this world is cruel. If you're not ruthless, you'll be eaten alive!"
"Just like now, Yang Lin has driven us to this point. Are you still thinking about solutions"
"Uh..."
Liu Liang was even more confused.
If you don't want solutions, what are you thinking about
"Child, remember, when you encounter problems you can't solve, don't try to solve them."
"Instead, we should find ways to solve the problem makers!"
Liu Youcai spoke, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he made a slashing motion across his throat towards Liu Liang.
Liu Liang suddenly realized, thinking of the humiliation he suffered at Yang Lin's hands, a sinister expression appeared on his face.
Liu Youcai said coldly, "No matter how much Yang Lin can make a fuss, he's still just one person in the end."
"...just get rid of him..."
Then all the problems now are no longer problems!
And all of his things, they will all be ours!
In Liu Youcai's eyes, a piercing cold light flashed.harge into the village later, grab anyone at random and ask about Yang Lin's whereabouts. We'll directly catch him off guard!'""Yes!"The bandits shouted loudly.However, just as they had almost reached...
