Chapter 2500 Who is the big one (plus more)

temporary workers.

This may be a very popular word in the Internet of later generations.After all, if it is in the later generations, this team of temporary workers is quite powerful. It can reach the sky at the top, hide from the ground at the bottom, can take the blame and hit the gun, can resist things and keep the mouth shut. It is simply a universal existence.

In the Han Dynasty, temporary workers were not called temporary workers, they were called "big whoever".

In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed "bad people".

Anyway, it has a long history and has been passed down through the ages.

Like such an easy-to-use, easy-to-handle, "big who" that can be used at any time, can sit, lie down, hit people, and set fire, everyone is naturally happy, but everything has two sides, this "big who" He naturally also has its disadvantages.

Since it is temporary, it is tantamount to precarity, and it is tantamount to getting how much money you get for doing as many things as you want. Therefore, in order to complete the task, of course the "big one" must strive to be the first and work hard, but at the same time, in order to "complete" the task, he will also sneak around. , By the way, get some benefits for yourself.

There is indeed a "Wandering Taoist" in Xiahou's place, but this wandering Taoist is not what Lu Hong is looking for...

But the temporary workers don’t care, anyway, the task is to find a "Wandering Taoist", and if you find it, you will get a bonus!
Get the money first!
"Is there really a wandering Taoist?" 』

"Really! 』

"You saw it with your own eyes? 』

"Little one saw it with his own eyes! 』

"If you make a mistake, your life will be at stake! 』Lu Hong was still not at ease, and then asked a question.

If it is an ordinary person, at this point, he will think about his own head, and then think about his own family, but what is a temporary worker?It's the ranger libertine!Who would work as a temporary worker if they could do a serious job?Well, when "who is the big one"?
So when Lu Hong asked, these big ones said without hesitation: "Dare to guarantee with your life!" 』

"..." Lu Hong was silent for a while, nodded and waved, "Reward! 』

The big guy took the reward and happily went to have fun in time.Have it today, eat it today, if you don’t know if you can continue to grow up tomorrow, so what?Get all the money, grab it fast, and use chicken feathers as arrows. After Lu Hong, there will be no such reward!
Lu Hong's subordinates approached him and asked, "We are now..."

Now that Xiahou is involved, should this matter be investigated or not?
Lu Hong was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, "Check! 』

...(`dish)...

In fact, Lu Hong went in the wrong direction completely.

the other side.

Cai Yu was looking at the so-called "points" with a sad face, and muttered in a low voice, "What the hell is going on with these nine truths and one falsehood?"If it is nine shallow and one deep, I know it...』

"Hee hee hee...how are you..." A little lady seemed to have heard Cai Yu's "nine shallows and one deep", so she leaned over obliquely and reached out from under Cai Yu's robe , "I'd like to see, why are you shallow and deep, ah..."

Money is the guts of a hero.

Before Cai Yu, there was no windfall in his account for a long time, so of course he couldn’t go to the sauna clubs of the Han Dynasty. Bathhouse...

"Don't make trouble, oh, don't scratch..." Cai Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I'm thinking about something..."

The little lady winked like silk, "You are with me...on the bed, still thinking about something...huh?Do I matter... or do things matter? 』

"You are important. Cai Yu immediately replied, "By the way, let me ask you, if you want to tell a lie that everyone believes... what do you think is better?" 』

"Who are you going to lie to? ”The little lady seemed to get more excited, she moved closer and lowered her voice, “Do I know you? 』

Cai Yu shook his head, "You probably don't know him. 』

Cai Yu himself is not a serious spy. In a sense, he is also a temporary worker. Whoever is the master of Chang'an Sanfu, he can make some extra fun.

"That's meaningless. ’ The little lady seemed to move her hands a few more times under her robe, which caused Cai Yuchang to take a deep breath, ‘Actually, it’s very simple if you don’t want to be exposed by others... Just don’t tell lies, just say something It really became...」

"Fake...really...haha, I see! 』Cai Yu burst out laughing suddenly, then turned around and hugged the little lady, threw herself on the bed, arched her mouth, and touched her with her hands.

The little lady giggled, pushing gently with her hand while still stroking it.

"Haha, let you know how powerful I am! Cai Yu yelled, and then halfway through the movement, he suddenly got stuck there, blinked his eyes, and asked, "By the way, you said I was the best... Is it true or not?" 』

The little lady was also taken aback for a moment, then she smiled coquettishly, "Of course it's true..."

"..." Cai Yu stared at the little lady, "This time I really want you to know that I am the best!" 』

"Come on, come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed, ah, don't bite, haha, don't bite over there..."

……(/≧▽≦)/…

There are many happiness of the rich, but the sorrow of the poor is often one.

Because there is no money.

Poor and humble couples are sad.

Cai Yu is happy, because he has a guaranteed salary from droughts and floods, no matter what the situation is, he can get it. Although he will not get rich suddenly, he will not starve to death, and the key is that he still has considerable extra money to earn...

But for some craftsmen in Jizhou, this year's late autumn seems to have entered the cold winter ahead of schedule.

A large number of high-quality and cheap items from Chang'an Sanfu have filled the market, and handicraftsmen in the current market in Jizhou have to bear the bitter fruit of bargaining.If you don't lower the price, no one will buy it at all!With the same money, you can buy Guanzhong products, which are good-looking, whether you put them at home or take them out, you will save face. Who doesn’t like them?
Then the local workshops in Jizhou became increasingly difficult.The workshop is difficult, and orders are reduced. In order to still obtain sufficient profits, either increase production and sell at low prices, or another method is to lay off employees...

Of course, in the Han Dynasty, there were many handicraft workers who were temporary workers from the beginning to the end. There was no contract at all. Everything was verbal, and the termination of the contract was not notified at all. After the workshop, I realized that they had already stopped accepting them.

When you are extremely hungry, the sky is dark and your vision is blurred.

There was no more pain in the abdomen, maybe it was numb from the pain.

The thin body still has to drag a huge wooden bucket, lying on the side of the ditch, struggling to beat the starched laundry.

The reflection in the water was broken, like something she could remember.

She used to be young and lively before.

But she didn't know when it started, and she lost her liveliness, perhaps after her father's income began to decrease, or even no income at all.

Suddenly, she felt her arm start to give way, and then her leg on the same side began to twitch.

By the side of the ditch, there is also a girl similar to her, with a thin body, like a few logs supporting the outer layer of robes.

The water is cold.

She seemed to see that her father was still carrying those painstakingly made utensils, and came back from outside with a sad face...

"Not sold..."

said her mother, wiping away tears.

Her father and brother bowed their heads and remained silent for a long time.

"Tomorrow, I'll try again tomorrow..."

Her father bowed his head.

"I'll go to the market to see if anyone is looking for a part-time job..."

Her brother also said.

Short-term hired workers, one day of work, one day's money, and the wages are pitifully low.

"But we don't even have the money to buy food..." The mother's eyes were red and filled with tears of helplessness, "Why don't I ask someone to borrow some more..."

"These days, who has spare money..." The father lowered his head, "Besides, I borrowed it once before, but I haven't paid it back..."

Then there was an extremely depressing silence.

"East of the city..."

"no! 』

Then there was another silence.

Girls know what "East of the City" means.Because a little sister of her next-door neighbor was taken to the east of the city and returned with a bag of rice.

A half-sized living person, and then turned into a bag of food.

The family ate it with tears.

"I can work, I can help starch and wash clothes..." the girl yearned, "I don't eat much, not much, just a little, a little...don't sell me, father, mother, don't sell me... 』

What responded to her was only her father's silence and her mother's tears.

"I went to the market to help people resist things! ’ Her brother said, ‘You can make money, you can! 』

But the market is not opened every day. Even if there is a market, there are families like her who are crazily vying for the share of the few temporary workers. Her brother sometimes has it and sometimes doesn’t, and he has to accept it. Even lower pay than usual.

In order to prove herself, in order to stay at home, she ate less, did more, and even wanted to gnaw her own hands and feet when she was extremely hungry!

Because at least there is a layer of skin on the bone!
She struggled to lift the clothes cone.

You have to wash three barrels every day to have one money.If one of the clothes is not washed well, torn, or not cleaned, not only will the money not be paid, but the money will also be deducted.

After all, clothes are also money, not only a deposit, but also a guarantee.If you are a refugee, not only do you have no money, you don't even have a fixed residence. Naturally, there is no guarantee. You can't even do such a job, and you don't have the qualifications.

must... have to... wash...

She felt that the sky was getting darker and darker, and then the water seemed to be getting closer.

She sank into the ditch.

The canal is not really deep.

But she didn't have the strength to stand up...

There seemed to be a sound, and it was unknown whether it was the water she choked on, or the screams of others.

The water is cold.

But she seemed to feel that she had returned to her childhood, as if she had returned to her mother's arms.

"Damn it, clothes!Clothes float away! The overseer on the canal screamed loudly, her voice was like a very sharp needle piercing all the surrounding bodies, "Quick!Go get it back for me!clothing!Leave that damn girl alone!clothing!Quick, quick! 』

She opened her eyes, but she couldn't see anything, she couldn't see the light, she couldn't see the sky, she couldn't see the ground. She opened her mouth hard, but she couldn't make any sound.

Even if there is a sound, no one will pay attention to it.

Because the clothes that flowed down the drain were more important than her.

She sank.

died.

..._(:」∠)_...

A carriage wobbled.

The laughter behind the spun yarn on the carriage was transmitted.

"The food at Tianxiang Restaurant seems to be a bit worse recently..."

"Well, it's a bit off. It is said that the spices in Guanzhong are used up, and the new ones haven't arrived yet..."

『No wonder, these people are really serious, won’t they buy it in advance when they know they will run out? 』

"That's right, anyway, I don't have Western Region spices now, so I don't think I can survive!"OMG, can't even imagine meals without spices!Can I still enter? ! 』

"That's true, with and without spices are two completely different things.By the way, in the past few days...how did I hear that...someone deliberately destroyed Zhuanghe and hoarded grain and grass, just to increase the price and make huge profits...this matter...』

"Destroy Zhuang He?who?Have you done anything? 』

"Who is that stupid?If it is destroyed, how can you make money? 』

"That's right... However, I did ask someone to let the wind out, saying that the grain and crops were affected by the disaster and the production was reduced... Isn't this what we have agreed on before?"What, maybe it was spread too far? 』

"do not know.It’s just that someone said that we sent people to destroy the fields secretly, and they were caught by someone, and they wanted to kill the whole village to silence them...』

『Hahaha, what a joke, the more you fax it, the more outrageous it will be. If this is true, I say if it is true, I will be safe if you give me some money. Wouldn’t it be troublesome to kill someone?I think, this matter, I am afraid that someone is behind the scenes, find a few people to investigate, see who is spreading the rumors, first catch it and then talk about it. 』

"us?Let the people of the county government do it, they spend our offerings in vain all day long, do they have to do some work...』

"Yes, yes, let them go!" 』

...ヽ()()...

The magistrate of Anyang slapped the table angrily, "How do you do things?"Um?Let you go to the countryside, investigate carefully, and handle the case carefully, but you say you have a headache, and then you ask for sick leave!Is this the time to ask for leave?Still have a headache? !There are dead people down there, you know?Are lives more important than headaches?Um? ! 』

Cao under the door lowered his head, slandering in his stomach, it doesn't matter what the hell, your black hat is the most important, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just said yes again and again.

The Anyang county magistrate was tired of cursing, so he sat there gasping for breath, "Say, what should we do now?" ! 』

Cao under the door continued to curse secretly, he smiled and didn't say what to do when he took the money, but now he has to ask what to do when something goes wrong?If it weren't for you and a few squires to join forces to do things, why would there be fights and looting due to lack of food?
In fact, Anyang County was not affected by the disaster, and there was no shortage of food and grass, and the harvest was not bad.

But there is no shortage of Zhuanghe grain and grass. How can everyone make money when the price of grain is low?

Therefore, some people took advantage of the accident in Yingzhou to make trouble. On the one hand, it was rumored that money and grain would be transferred to support Yingchuan. The grain and grass in the country have been transferred, so there will be less local food?There is less local grain and grass, so it should be taken for granted that it should be sold at a high price?
As a result, after a few days of spreading the news, many people believed it and started to make noise, and then the county issued another notice, stating that the market was stable and the price of food was stable...

As a result, the people became more and more disbelieving, and those who hadn't gone to grab food before now did.Because someone said that the notice in the county did not deny the mobilization of grain and grass to support Yingchuan, Yuzhou, so this matter is true!

Those who were originally unwilling to accept high prices are now forced to accept high prices.I even feel that if I can't get a high price now, the price will be even higher in the future!

Originally, the county magistrate and the squire were all laughing, but they didn't expect things to change suddenly...

First, there were rumors that the price of grain was so high that some people deliberately destroyed the fields and Zhuanghe, resulting in a poor harvest, so the price of grain would be even higher!
So the looting became more intense. At first the magistrate and squire didn't care, but because of the nervousness of the people, there were fights, pushing, fighting with weapons, and then people died.

Then there were rumors that it was the squire himself who was sent to destroy the grain and grass. The squire colluded with the county magistrate to resell the grain and grass for huge profits!
Immediately, a gray-haired old man ran to the county government office and accused the county magistrate, but the county magistrate could only smile, saying that there was absolutely no such thing and that it was a rumor, and immediately sent people to the countryside to investigate...

It turned out that it was good not to go down, but sending Li Cao down caused new conflicts.After all, these officials are used to domineering above them, how can they suffer after they go down, put on a show, put on a show, and account for everything to the temporary workers, um, whoever is the big one should do it, whoever is the big one He Ziran took the chicken feathers and waved them around, asking for food and drink, which aroused more and more public resentment, and finally evolved into resistance and fighting with weapons!
"How about..." Cao under the gate secretly glanced at the county magistrate, "Why don't you invite some reinforcements from above?"You know the magistrate, my subordinates are big ones, usually it is fine to catch thieves, like this scene...let's call for reinforcements...』

"no! ”The county magistrate blew his beard and stared, “No please!No aid! 』I just wrote a memorial a few days ago, saying that the place here is safe and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Now I ask for reinforcements in a blink of an eye. Isn't this slapping myself in the face?
"No matter what you do, the situation must be calmed down now! The county magistrate said angrily, "Immediately!"calm!Somebody just calm down! 』

Cao Yi grinned, obviously cursing secretly in his heart, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "How about...the county lord approves some more fees, and I go to recruit more big ones?"If there are more people, if there are some troubles, it will be easier to handle things, right? 』

Hearing that it would cost money, the county magistrate was heartbroken, but after thinking about it, he agreed.

Cao Xing, the subordinate of the door, came to the county magistrate with the money receipt approved by the county magistrate.

The county magistrate looked at the note, then looked at Cao under the door, said "Oh" and asked someone to withdraw the money, and then handed it over to Cao under the door.

"This...the amount seems to be wrong..." Cao under the door checked the amount and found that the money was [-]% less.

"What's wrong? "The county magistrate said slowly, "I'm still looking at your face, I'll give you [-]% more, otherwise...don't think I don't know you're empty..."

"Hiss..." Cao under the door swallowed his saliva.

"Is the number right? 』The county magistrate squinted at Cao under the door.

"Yes, that's right!That's right!That's right! 』

Cao Liansheng replied, and then left resentfully with money.After arriving outside the county government office, the doorman Cao thought about it, then found a remote place, poured out more than half of the money in the purse, put it in his pocket, and then carried the obviously empty purse , who went to the street to solicit big...

 First of all, I wish the workers all over the world a happy holiday!

  
  In the 19th century, many countries, such as the United States and Europe, gradually developed from capitalism to the stage of imperialism. In order to stimulate the rapid economic development and extract more surplus value, in order to maintain this high-speed capitalist machine, capitalists continued to increase labor time. and labor-intensive methods to brutally exploit workers.

  In the United States, workers have to work 14 to 16 hours a day, some even as long as 18 hours, but the wages are very low.

  The overseer of a shoe factory in Massachusetts once said this: "Take a strong and healthy boy of 18 to work next to any machine here, and I can make his hair gray at the age of 22."

  Heavy class oppression has aroused great anger among the proletarians.They know that the only way to fight for the conditions of survival is to unite and fight against the capitalists through strike movements.

  The strike condition put forward by the workers is to demand the implementation of the eight-hour work system.

  So, it's good to have a holiday, don't listen to those blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
