Traveling through ancient times.

Chapter 129 That's What I Mean

When Shu Tong said the three words "The Great Purge", Shu Tong suddenly came to his senses.

Then he looked at Jiang Yizhou in shock and admiration, "Master, you really took a risk this time."

Jiang Yizhou said calmly: "Although I was at the old house some time ago, I am not unaware of what happened in the farm."

"It has been two or three years since the first ones followed us to Yunshan Farm. In fact, people's memory of suffering and misery is very weak. In other words, 'the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten'. Although there are only a few of them, they are very likely to have negative emotions, affecting the emotions of those around them, and thus causing the entire group to become negative and lazy."

"There are also some people who have been working in their positions for a long time and have experience. In addition, our farm has been expanding and has always been in a labor shortage. In addition, some people brag about them, and people outside also brag about them, saying how important and indispensable they are in the farm. But they only get such a small salary. If they go outside, they will definitely be like this and that..."

"In such a situation, only a few people can remain unshaken. Some people do not waver because they remember the kindness they received from saving them from danger. However, such kindness will fade away sooner or later and become a kind of charity for the farm."

"Do you think that the landlords' coming this time was a sudden event? No, in fact, they had already contacted some people in our village in private."

Everyone looked at each other with expressions of shock and disbelief.

These people are too...

They wanted to say that they were ungrateful. If it weren't for the Jiang family head taking them in, they would have already...

However, they did not say these four words in the end. Just as the head of the Jiang family analyzed just now, this is human nature.

Only Wei Ke stood quietly in the corner with a calm expression. She seemed indifferent, but in fact, everything in the study was in her eyes.

Jiang Yizhou continued, "Their original plan was to have these landlords and gentry sign a hidden contract with me, asking me to transfer the labor to them, and they would give me some money privately... On the other hand, those who were instigated by them would find an opportunity to expose the hidden contract."

"In this case, my prestige and credibility in Yunshan will be severely damaged, and even destroyed by waves of rumors. The other people, whether they are loyal to Yunshan or neutral, will be shaken by this incident, and then... after they take all the workers away, our farm will stop operating, and all the technology will be taken away by them..."

When everyone heard this, they all gasped.

It turned out that they had just experienced such a thrilling survival crisis.

Shu Tong's body was trembling slightly. His family had finally been able to live a stable life. Who was the traitor who actually went along with those ungrateful people?

Qi Hao was also shocked. Although he had just officially become the leader of the guards of Yunshan Manor, he had actually been in charge here for some time.

But he didn't even know that these people were doing things behind the scenes. It was really... such a dereliction of duty.

By the way, if even I don’t know, how does the head of the family know so much?

Qi Hao subconsciously turned his gaze to Wei Ke who was standing quietly in the corner.

Her skills are not that good, after all, she is a latecomer.

Her physique for martial arts training is average, but her comprehension is very good, and her character is excellent - this is Liao Qi's evaluation of her.

Liao Qi only taught her for more than a year. Maybe the head of the family taught her some things in private. Now, Wei Ke was basically not seen making a move, but sensing the other party's breath and behavior, he should be considered half a master.

Training a person with ordinary qualifications into a half-master - Qi Hao became more curious about the strength of this head of the family.

I heard that half a year ago, the head of the family personally dealt with several minions and a small leader of the Viper Gang, and his skills are already better than his and Liao Qi's.

Now several months have passed, and I wonder what level the head of the family has reached.

He quickly collected his thoughts and heard the patriarch continue to say: "...I will simply grant their wish this time and let them all sign the contract. When the time comes, the only ones left will be worthy of more training and reuse."

When Jiang Yizhou said this, the people in the study also became a little excited.

At the same time, they found themselves inexplicably feeling a sense of relief in their hearts, and expressed their condolences to those who had bad intentions.

...The new season's farming in Yunshan Farm has been completed, but this large piece of land belonging to the landlord is still barren.

Because no crops were planted last season, the field is overgrown with weeds.

On the first day, the landlord's family did prepare two meals, including meat.

While eating, some people commented on how big the rice was and how big the meat pieces were, saying that they were much bigger than those on the farm.

The bill was settled in the evening, twenty cents per person.

These people began to loudly proclaim that the wages here were much higher than on the farms, and that the landlords kept their words: Look, the wages are exactly what they said, without any ambiguity.

Then someone started shouting that such a good opportunity must be seized.

Here, the landlord has the final say on how much you'll be paid for each day you work and how many days you'll work.

With such a high salary, others would surely be vying for the job. It would be better to sign a contract with the landlord as a long-term worker. This way, you will get a high salary in the future and won't have to worry about anything.

However, most people knew it clearly in their minds as if they had worked for landlords before.

Half of the few cents earned every day would be deducted, saying that the farm tools were damaged and that they had to pay for them, haha.

Same thing the next day.

Except for those who were dancing happily, the others were unmoved.

He is also very lazy at work, and the total amount of work he does over several days is less than a day's work.

...The landlord was depressed, and he called those slaves over and gave them a severe scolding: these peasants had good food every day, but did not do much work, and yet they were paid a lot of money every day, no one could stand it.

They were given a deadline. If they failed to trick these people into signing long-term employment agreements, they would no longer be qualified to be leaders.

That's right, these people were so eager to build momentum for the landlords because they had painted a big pie for them from the beginning - the head of the farmhands: they were equivalent to the contractors, and the wages paid by the landlords to the farmhands would be forwarded by them. They could naturally take a portion of it. This was simply a free ride, with benefits to be gained and a good life.

However, it seems that these soils are not easy to fool now.

Two days later, they prepared to attack each city one by one.

One took the lead, and the others followed suit, talking about all kinds of benefits of working for the landlord - they all signed an agreement anyway, and as long as there was an agreement, would they still be afraid that the landlord would embezzle their wages?
