Chapter 43 Closing down the construction site "Call me!"
The officers picked up their sabers and started beating those who had not stopped working.
Those men were also bloody, so they grabbed whatever they could use and rushed over.
At first, there were only a few dozen people. Gradually, more and more people joined, and the guards soon fell behind.
Most of the people who resisted were men from the north of Lanzhou. Their tribe was not an ally of the Zhanyue tribe. Most of them made a living by hunting and were very tough.
Since the Zhanyue tribe brought Lanzhou to join the You Dynasty, although there have been many new things, the tax has increased year by year, which really makes them dislike the Zhanyue tribe.
This time I came to Pingxiba to work, partly to collect tax money, but mostly to make money to buy some new toys for my children at home.
At first, only a few dozen people came. Later, a few people went back with the copper coins they received and the things they bought, and hundreds of people followed.
They are not smart, but they can also know good from bad. Not only are their wages high, their food is good, and they even make up for the money stolen. There is no such good employer anywhere else.
After working for 20 days, not only did I not lose weight, but I became stronger.
They now recognize one thing, that is, anyone who can't get along with Divine Doctor Wen will ruin their jobs! We must kill these dogs! Seeing that many guards were defeated, the hundreds of Zhanyue people who came to work in Heishi County hesitated.
Those officers were all brothers of the same clan, and many of them grew up together. They couldn't just watch them being beaten to death.
But they were working in Pingxiba, so they were considered favored by Wen Yunxi, so it was unjustifiable for them to help the guards beat other workers.
"Brother Xing, what do you think we should do?"
Shui Xin was also a little undecided, but seeing that one of his brothers was beaten and vomited blood, he still favored the guards.
"Let's go and pull them apart first."
The workers of the Zhanyue tribe breathed a sigh of relief and were about to rush over with their poles in hand when they heard a deafening sound of gongs.
"Stop it all!"
Ten foremen held gongs and struck hard.
"Shuba, Erkeye, Tinu, Kumugu, all of you, stop it and get back!"
After a burst of angry shouting, the people who were fighting finally separated. There were injuries on both sides, but the officers were at a disadvantage, and they were all bruised and swollen.
Shuba put away his pole and stopped going back to carry mud. He walked aside with more than a hundred brothers of the same race. The anger on his face faded and he looked a little panicked.
After calming down, he also understood that he couldn't work here anymore.
Thinking of the expectant eyes of the three children at home, Shuba sighed deeply.
When Liangzhu Bo first shouted, he still looked unscrupulous.
After seeing the fight where he was crushed, his arrogance dropped. He knew that even if he brought a hundred and sixty servants, as long as Wen Yunxi gave an order, those workers could rush up and beat him to death.
At first, he only noticed the people from the Zhanyue tribe, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were many people from other tribes, especially those who were leading the fight, who were from the Black Wolf tribe in the north, and they were very fierce.
If the Zhanyue tribe hadn't numbered in the hundreds of thousands, they wouldn't have been able to suppress those few real barbarians.
Wen Yunxi looked at Liang Zhubo with disgust. It is no wonder that such a person is harboring filth when he is an official.
Qin Yu silently touched the dagger on his leg and resisted the urge to give his good master a thin blow. Now was not the time. He would wait until it fell into her hands later and then take a good stab at it.
"Isn't this Liang Zhubo? What are you doing, such a big battle?"
Several people walked towards this side with smiles, but their attitude towards Master Liang could not be considered as respect.
Liang Zhu Bo took a closer look and quickly put a smile on his face, "Master Hong, Master De, Master Shui, I didn't know you were here. My nephew is rude."
What is going on in Pingxi Dam? Not only are there people from the Black Wolf Clan, but also these old guys from the city are here.
Even though they have no money or power, they have considerable appeal among the Zhanyue clan. Even the Sang clan chief will give these old guys some Ye glanced at the place where the fight had just happened and stroked his long beard, "Ah He, if you have something to say, come on, come with me to get the date cake over there, sit down and eat it slowly."
Liang Zhu Bo continued to smile, but did not move. He looked at Wen Yunxi and said, "I don't have to smash it, but you must stop working."
This is a fatal order from Zhizhi County. If he fails to fulfill it, the punishment will be small if he goes back, but it will be troublesome if it affects his official career.
Master Shui and the old guys looked at each other, knowing that this was a troublesome matter, so they stopped talking and walked back.
Thinking that they might not be able to eat the jujube cake anymore, they went to get another piece.
The fat aunt still had the same smile, she didn't take Master Liang lightly at all, and she still handed out jujube cakes to people.
Now she has been promoted by her boss and has dozens of people under her. She should not panic when encountering problems. She believes that her boss can solve the problem.
The result was beyond her expectation.
Wen Yunxi sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll dismiss them right now."
As soon as these words came out, everyone panicked.
Gone!
Such a good job is gone! In the eyes of everyone, Wen Yunxi took a foreman's gong and struck it ten times.
She stood on the high platform and shouted: "Although we have no choice but to close, today's wages will still be calculated. All workers will receive ten pieces of date cake before leaving. Those with children at home will receive 20 yuan for each child."
Shuba and the others heard the excitement in their hearts, and emotions such as regret, anger, and gratitude surged up.
Even though the Black Wolf Clan is located in a remote area, they still know how valuable that palm-sized jujube cake is. If anyone here doesn’t have a few children, this piece of food will cost dozens of yuan.
Not only is he considerate to them, but he also takes good care of their children. Who wouldn’t want to follow such a boss.
Liangzhu Bo was also surprised. He had never eaten jujube cake, but jujube was only available in the Central Plains. He spent a lot of money before going back.
This woman is crazy! Even Su Qiao and Qin Yu were shocked. They knew better than anyone else that Wen Yunxi didn't have much money anymore.
Although she sells herbal medicine and treats patients these days, the money she earns is not enough to meet her daily salary, not to mention there are so many people coming to eat for free.
She had almost sold out the box of golden pearls.
Just as he was thinking this, Wen Yunxi said again: "Those who were injured just now should go get some medicine. Shuba and others bravely guarded the construction site. I will reward you with another [-] copper plates."
There was a crash, and the scene was shocked again.
Especially the workers, there are countless people who are excited and annoyed.
You must know that they work for six hours a day for only twenty coppers, which is still a high salary. If they work in other places for eight or nine hours, they will not earn ten coppers.
Twenty coins a day, six hundred coins a month, now they can earn as much as a month's work just for helping out, which is really surprising.
The people who came to eat bean curd and cakes were shocked by Wen Yunxi's generosity. They saw that there were at least 400 workers who were fighting just now, and now they were paying more than 10,000 yuan.
This is not the boss, this is a boy who wants to make money! When Shuba stepped forward to take the large bunch of copper coins, he clapped his chest vigorously and said, "Doctor Wen, as long as you say a word from now on, I, Shuba, will definitely be at the front!"
Other men who received money also said that they could do anything for Wen Yunxi.
Wen Yunxi smiled, the money was well spent.
As for Liangzhu Bo...
He was so cooperative that she was a little embarrassed to be cruel.
I hope they can catch the next move.
