Chapter 693: Three Gifts (Part II)


In another time and space, when future generations talk about the Ming Dynasty, they always like to talk about the sprouting of xxism.

One of the signs of this is that the phenomenon of hired workers has already existed in this era.

Refugees who have lost their fields, farmers who cannot make a living by farming, or people who have fled the country.

Those who live in cities or large towns can only accept employment to make a living.

Their conditions vary from high to low, but generally speaking, they are barely able to survive.

Furthermore, these jobs are designed to support children but not old age.

Once you can no longer do it, you will definitely be fired.

As for how to survive, you have to figure out your own way.

Even if you meet a kind employer, it is just a few more severance packages.

Such as Yang Ji's favorable conditions, especially "retirement" at the age of sixty.

After retirement, a monthly pension will be paid.

At the same time, if the body allows, he can continue to work part-time.

Even in the era of capitalism touted by a group of people, it is a rare benefit.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was equivalent to throwing a golden rice bowl down.

Everyone wanted to get Yang Ji, which was reasonable.

Some of Xie Ji's shopkeepers are descendants of his own clan, or are slaves born in the family, and these can be trusted.

But there are also some big guys or second and third shopkeepers who are hired on a contractual basis, and as for the workers, it is an employment relationship.

It was not a big surprise that they switched jobs and rebelled.

Xie Zun had already planned for half of the workers to rebel.

But according to his deduction, it would take several years from the establishment of Yang Ji to the time when half of the workers rebelled, and that was under the premise that Yang Ji would always exist.

During that time, I will definitely have hired workers, so I won’t be in disarray.

Some of the less loyal clerks might be swayed, but as for the shopkeeper, he was still in control.

In such a short period of time, an employee at the level of shopkeeper actually betrayed him, which made him feel a little confused.

In today's society, the general belief is that people believe in morality or conscience more than judicial means.

This kind of self-restraint is the so-called conscience account.

The contracts in business transactions are barely taken seriously, but the contracts in employment are very careless.

There are no provisions such as liquidated damages for future generations or prohibition from engaging in similar industries within a few years.

The current market is a labor market.

It would be nice if everyone has a job and does not have to starve to death.

Once you lose your job, it is extremely difficult to find another job, and you are likely to become a beggar or starve to death.

If the boss doesn't do something like the west, the chance of it happening is very small.

Normal people are afraid of being fired by the boss, so few people are willing to leave.

Therefore, the employer's contract mainly protects the interests of the employer.

For example, workers can be fired without compensation, death or injury during employment is not considered, and disability is regarded as bad luck.

Originally, this kind of contract was not conducive to the employees protecting their own rights and interests, but now that they have started to rebel, Xie Zun does not have many means to control these people to defect to Yang Ji.

Even if they asked for financial compensation, the contracts were carelessly written, so they would not get much money.

But when you reach the level of shopkeeper, you have more or less some resources, or you have certain talents.

The losses caused by their betrayal cannot be compensated by the money in the contract.

What's even more frightening is that this kind of betrayal will bring a blow to the reputation.

It will make people think that Xie Ji has encountered a major problem and can no longer control his subordinates.

This shop will not last long.

Once this kind of understanding is formed, the Xie family's customers will inevitably lose a large number of customers, and those who have a good relationship with the rebels in the shop may also turn against them.

The people who stayed behind might be undercover agents deliberately arranged by Yang Ji.

Since the other party could even do things like setting fires and poaching people, it would not be surprising to arrange some undercover agents.

Who can Xie Zun truly trust?

There were a few drops of sweat on Xie Zun's forehead, and his expression was not as calm as before.

Although a businessman pursues profit, he does everything possible in the business field.

But on the surface, everyone pretends to be a good gentleman and flaunts himself as a Confucian businessman and a gentleman, so that it is easier to deal with others.

People like Yang Chengzu who show off their horses and horses by using all kinds of means are actually not very popular in this era.

However, in the face of strength, this kind of treatment does not have much impact.

Business must continue to be done.

Regardless of whether he is happy or unhappy, Yang Ji has entered the market with a high profile and cannot be stopped.

Yang Ji's current areas of involvement are grain and sea trade, and these two areas are the private territory of the Xie family.

Even if Yang Ji does not participate, other businessmen will not get much benefit from these two parts.

At most, it's just some leftover soup, not even leftover rice.

Because of Yang Ji's attitude, these businessmen did not express any dissatisfaction, they all just sat back and watched.

On the contrary, he was worried about how he would deal with it if Yang Ji came to his side and started poaching people.

Just when the atmosphere of the banquet was gradually getting colder, Yang Chengzu's third gift was already held by the beautiful maid and placed in front of Xie Zun.

Xie Zun's expression looked a little nervous this time.

He didn't know what the mystery was hidden in it.

He stood up and carefully opened the lid of the box.

Everyone else looked inside curiously, and then a burst of exclamations broke out.

Wen Xun fell back to his seat, covered his face with his robe sleeves, and exclaimed: "What's going on?

What does this mean?"

The brocade box that was the main culprit that caused these decent people to panic was actually a human hand with a thick and strong palm.

It was probably a laborer or a warrior.

But no matter whose hand it is, it should not be in a box, let alone put on the table.

Even though Xie Zun was well-informed, he closed the lid of the box tightly and stared at Yang Chengzu.

"Master Xie, Prefect Wen, don't panic.

Water transportation requires the use of labor.

These labors, combined with Caoding, are what everyone calls the Cao Gang.

Normally speaking, this gang is nothing.

After all, in the government In front of me, these people It's not even garbage.

But if the Caobang deliberately makes things difficult for someone and doesn't load or unload someone's ship, half of the business will be lost.

I'm new here and I'm not very familiar with the situation in Nanjing.

The leader of Nanjing Lifu is called Xie Hu."

Yang Chengzu said to Pengju, Xu Pengju was the one leading the troops after all, a severed hand could not scare him, so he continued to eat and drink there.

When Yang Chengzu asked, he also looked confused.

"I really don't know what this Li Fu Tou is.

It's just a coolie leader.

What's so easy to remember about the name of such a person?"

"Not necessarily.

If a leader manages tens of thousands of coolies, we should remember it.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people, and they are all strong men who can do physical work.

If there is any trouble, you should always be alert.

Mr.

Xie , you are doing big business and cannot do without these efforts, I wonder if you have any impression of Xie Hu?"

At this time, Xie Zun also recovered from the surprise of seeing the severed hand for the first time, and his face became more and more serious.

"Xie Hu is indeed an incompetent son of my Xie family.

He can't study and practice martial arts.

In order to survive, he has to work as a coolie.

But this child He is a good person and very righteous.

Those people may admire him as a person and are willing to let him help them make an idea.

Is this also illegal?"

Yang Chengzu smiled, "Of course it's not illegal.

I just told Mr.

Xie that when you came to the banquet, Xie Hu was no longer the helmsman of the Caogang in South Zhili.

Someone cut off his head.

His helmsman The Lord can't do it.

This hand is the murderer's hand.

He used this hand to kill Xie Hu, so he cut it off first and called him up in this restaurant."

With heavy footsteps, a big man with his upper body bare and tied with a rope, dragging a severed hand, walked up the stairs step by step under the guidance of two guards, and knelt in front of Xie Zun.

At this time, Xie Zun's expression finally changed.

Could it be that the sky in the southeast was really going to change:
