Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 151 Conditions
Qin Shou's carriage wobbled from the Qin Mansion and ran out towards Beicheng. Behind the carriage were several big men. Zhao Yulin and Qin Shou were sitting in the carriage. Zhang Xiaosong had not returned from Yingyue Mountain. When Qin Shou came When we arrived at the North City Gate, there were already crowds of people outside the city gate.

Whenever someone went out of the city, these people would look over expectantly with wide eyes, often disappointed, but no one left. When they saw Qin Shou's carriage stopped at the location of yesterday's free clinic, these people immediately stood up excitedly.

Zhao Yulin walked out of the carriage one step ahead of Qin Shou, then bent down to lift the curtain, and respectfully asked Qin Shou to get out of the carriage. This movement and aura made the voices of these refugees stop. He stared into the carriage unconsciously, and saw Qin Shou slowly get out of the carriage. Walking out, there was a burst of cheers.

Qin Shou got off the carriage, looked at the crowd, smiled faintly, waved his arms, and the scene was quiet.

Said: "Everyone should know my reason for coming, and there must be many questions you want to ask me, but before that, I'd like to ask shopkeeper Zhao to tell you my conditions. If you agree with my conditions, just line up here. If you don't agree, please leave, there is no room for bargaining."

Hearing what Qin Shou said, the crowd became lively again. Before Zhao Yulin could speak, they started discussing below.There was a lot of noise, and in the end, neither the questioner nor the speaker could hear clearly.

Qin Shou winked at Zhao Yulin, Zhao Yulin took a step forward, stepped on the table just set by the two men, stood up straight, and shouted: "Quiet! Be quiet!"

Seeing Zhao Yulin standing so high, these people also understood that this is the beginning of the speech. Their eyes were fixed on Zhao Yulin, and Zhao Yulin's legs were so frightened that he almost knelt down. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. When he was about to fall, he forcibly calmed down.

Clearing his throat, he said loudly: "My master intends to only buy young and middle-aged people, but seeing that you are indeed in difficulty, so he gave priority to families with young and middle-aged people. If you want to sell yourself as a family, my master is also willing to accept it. Now please listen to our terms."

"The first rule: Loyalty, once you sell your body, you must obey the master's words, and you must not betray. The betrayer has only one way to die, and there is no other way to go."

"Article [-]: The selling price of young and middle-aged people is five taels of silver. They will be trained before entering the job. Only those who have passed the training are eligible to become a real Xiao Si and receive a monthly salary."

"Third article: Old man, you can sell your children, but you don't have to pay money. You can only ensure that you are fed and clothed every day. You also don't support idlers. You have to work to get income. If you want to fish in troubled waters, you can get out of the team now." .”

"Article [-]: Sit together. If someone among you betrays, then your family and relatives will be linked. So whether you sell yourself or not, think carefully. Those who don't want to sell themselves can walk out of the team now."

As soon as these four items came out, the scene was quiet. Some excited people hesitated, and some people walked out of the team directly. They didn't know what Qin Shou was doing?Would it be dangerous to sell themselves to Qin Shou just like this? They also couldn't make up their minds to sell themselves as servants without knowing anything about the future.However, someone's eyes were fixed on the monthly salary.

Chen Qiang was short-tempered and couldn't wait to think for himself. He stood up straight and asked with a scratchy throat, "What can the elderly and children do? Is it dangerous?"

Zhao Yulin smiled faintly, looked into Chen Qiang's eyes and said, "Of course it's a job that they can do, and there will be no danger."

"Then, what does the monthly salary mean? How much money do you have a month?" Chen Qiang wanted to continue asking, but someone below asked eagerly.

Zhao Yulin turned his eyes, stared at the man's eyes and said: "The monthly salary is the monthly salary, and the amount of the monthly salary is linked to the strength. Only those who have passed the training are eligible to take up the post. There is no guarantee for a month, but I can Tell you that the highest monthly salary is 30 taels of silver."

Hiss, as soon as Zhao Yulin's voice fell, there was a gasp in the room. The monthly salary of a county magistrate is only 15 taels of silver, and they may be higher than the monthly salary of the county magistrate, which immediately made some people red-eyed.

There were also people with a clear mind who asked, "Will that be dangerous?"

Chen Qiang said: "There will definitely be dangers, but my master can guarantee that if you are on official duty, then he can take care of your family all the time, the elderly will have something to take care of, and the children will also have a school, so that they have the opportunity to learn literature. Hyphenated characters will not be as weak as you."

As soon as these words came out, many people felt that they were going crazy. Even if they were to go to the guillotine now, they would still be willing to sell themselves. All they had been running all the way for was the safety of their families and something to rely on for their lives.

Chen Qiang pushed away the person in front who still opened his mouth to ask, and shouted: "I agree to sell myself, please take me and my family away, as long as they have something to eat!"

Chen Qiang's voice doesn't matter, it's like a tornado rising from the calm sea, and the people behind all squeeze forward, seeing that there will be a stampede, Qin Shou's eyes are quick, and he leaps onto the table with a stride. Shouted loudly: "Stop!"

stop!stop what?Seeing that Qin Shou was standing on the table with a dark face, the refugees who were pushing forward were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeeze any more, but they refused to back off. They all stared at Qin Shou, and Qin Shou also felt pressure on his body Come on.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Shou sank to his dantian, and shouted loudly: "Line in line! If anyone dares to squeeze any more, pull out of the line."

Those big men took a step forward in cooperation, exuding a strong aura, and their eyes shot at the crowd like eagles.

Time seemed to stand still, and they stood there not daring to vent their breath or move their bodies. Qin Shou saw a buddy with one leg on the ground, with a suppressed face as if he couldn't get a tuba for a month.

"Okay, now you all line up, come one by one, hold hands with the family, don't get separated, and pay attention to the elderly and children, don't squeeze them."

Receiving Qin Shou's reminder, someone glanced down and saw a child looking at him pitifully. He was shocked and almost sat on the ground. Although these refugees did not retreat, they could walk in front.

Qin Shou and Zhao Yulin jumped off the table together. Qin Shou took a step back and stared at the crowd with a stern face, for fear that they would push forward desperately. Go to the table and register carefully.

Of course, the movement here cannot be concealed from the officers and soldiers. Someone reported it to the magistrate. Ji Ling, the magistrate, just smiled lightly, but in his heart he wished that there would be more idiots like Qin Shou. Much prettier.

Looking at the Fuzhi with a beautiful environment, he sighed in his heart, he can't live for a few days, the emperor has agreed to move the Fuzhi to the north to work near the Xiangfu Temple, and this will become the most honorable place in the south in the future!
