One after another, the vendors invited by Qin Boyang came to the guest building and sat down.
Naturally, it is inevitable that some people will have quarrels over business matters, and as soon as everyone gets together, some people will start to get angry.
"Why are you so damn weird? Eunuchs are the weird ones!"
"Hey! Who the hell are you calling a eunuch!?"
This slap on the table made the situation tense again, and it was about to start a fight. Qin Boyang hurried over to save the situation.
Please give me Mr. Qin some noodles today.
"For the sake of Dong Qin's family, I won't be as familiar with you today."
Qin Boyang has always been able to control the field. He can handle the Sanyuan Poetry Competition with nearly a thousand people in an orderly manner, let alone deal with these small vendors.
It was hard for everyone to refute Qin Boyang's face, so even if they were unhappy, they chose to swallow their anger for the time being.
Qin Boyang counted the number of people. After all forty-seven people were present, he immediately called for the food to be served.
When the food and wine were ready, Qin Boyang put a pestle in the middle and bowed his hands to the surroundings: "Everyone, Boyang thanks everyone for the honor and gathering in the guest building. A simple meal is not respectful. Please eat well and drink well."
"Dr. Qin's family, didn't they say they had a big deal to discuss?"
"Of course we have to talk, let's talk while eating."
Qin Boyang hurriedly asked everyone to use their chopsticks, and then said: "It's not me who wants to discuss business with you today, but someone else. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, Qin Boyang hurried downstairs. Chen Ze was already waiting on the first floor with his people.
"My dear brother, we are all here. Forty-seven people, no more and no less, are all here."
Chen Ze laughed: "Sure enough, Brother Boyang's face is big enough in Qingzhou! One call and a hundred responses."
"Don't make fun of me as a brother." Qin Boyang said hurriedly: "Go upstairs!"
Chen Ze waved his hand and went upstairs with Li Yuankang and four royal spies.
When the vendors who were eating saw Qin Boyang coming with someone, and looking at the obviously wealthy kid, they all felt a little confused.
"Dr. Qin, who is this?"
However, Chen Ze was the first to hold up his hands and introduced himself: "My Excellency, Chen Yanzu, specially invites you to the guest building today. I want to discuss a big deal with you."
"Just listen to me while you are eating." Chen Ze cleared his throat and said, "Most of us in Qingzhou who can make candy are here. No one knows better than you whether this business is good or not. "
"At the end of this month, regardless of expenses, I can earn four or five taels when business is good. When business is bad, two taels is enough, and sometimes part of the money may have to be withdrawn when the official comes. In a flash of fire, half a month's work may be wasted in the blink of an eye, but sometimes the gangsters come and collect protection money, and a month's work may be wasted."
"We can only make ends meet throughout the year. If Qingzhou's tax collection is insufficient, we will suffer another disaster. We may have to eat dirt even during the New Year."
One of them sighed and said: "Mr. Chen, what you said is quite small, but there are people who come to collect candy every now and then. It's not reasonable at all. They rush into your house and grab it directly!"
"Yes!" Someone said with a bitter smile: "We small businessmen and hawkers have no power and no backing. If we are bullied, we can only endure it."
Chen Ze immediately held up his hand and said, "That's why I'm here. If you work with me in the future, you won't be bullied by others. Officials won't come to smoke you, and local gangsters won't dare to harass you. Not only that, Each person can get at least five taels of salary every month!"
When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
"Five, five taels!? Real or fake?"
Chen Ze didn't speak, but looked at Qin Boyang aside: "I'm afraid not many people will believe me if I tell you the truth. Qin Dong's family can help me vouch for it!"
When Qin Boyang heard this, he immediately said seriously: "Boyang can be the guarantor. What Mr. Chen said is not a lie."
Some of the brave ones muttered: "Five taels of silver a month? Doesn't this mean we are doing something illegal?"
When Chen Ze heard this, he said dumbfounded: "Everyone, don't think too much. In addition to making sugar, you know other things!? I won't let you make sugar but do other things. I'm full. ?”
"Just do what you do, but you have to do what I ask!"
"To put it bluntly, even if I really want to do something illegal, I have to find those thieves and evil people and let you do it. I have to go to the government tomorrow and the whole army will be wiped out, right? I don't think I have a long life. ah?"
A group of people burst out laughing after hearing this, feeling that Mr. Chen's words were really popular and humorous.
Chen Ze waved his hand, and Li Yuankang came over with a wooden box.
When you open it, you will find the contract drafted by Chen Ze and Qin Boyang today.
Of course, there are not that many terms, and it does not restrict personal freedom.
As long as you work hard, your salary will only get better and better.
However, if you slack off at work, leak secrets, or change jobs temporarily, you will not only have to pay high liquidated damages, but you will also be held legally responsible and arrested and interrogated.
In fact, it is a simplified version of the modern contract.
Chen Ze asked Li Yuankang to distribute the contracts in duplicate.
"If you don't know how to read, you can ask Qin Boyang. Of course, if you think there is something fishy in it, you can also find someone who can read and talk to you."
Most of the vendors here are illiterate, and only a few do.
"Mr. Chen, you don't know exactly what to do."
"You will know after you sign." Chen Ze said with a smile: "Of course, there is no force in this matter. If you are willing to work with me, just sign. If you don't want to, there is no need to leave in a hurry. It's not too late to leave after you have eaten. Okay. If you don’t have wine and food, you won’t get it for free!”
While he was talking, Chen Ze took out his money bag from his clothes and put it on the table: "Sign it, I will pay two taels of salary in advance for each person, and the rest will be paid out at the end of the month."
"Everyone can see clearly that these five taels of silver per month are just the most basic salary. If you perform well, I, the owner, will naturally be rewarded. Of course, with rewards, there will be punishments. The ugly words are ahead. , after you sign your fingerprints, you have to work hard. If you fish for three days and dry the net for two days, your salary will be deducted."
"Both of them need to be signed, one for you to keep and one for me to keep. Otherwise, if I, the owner, really owe the money and refuse to pay it, you will have to keep it as evidence to file a lawsuit."
Everyone was talking about it for a while and started discussing among themselves.
Chen Ze watched Qin Boyang continue to explain the contents to everyone, and he was not in a hurry.
Qin Boyang has to take the lead in this matter, and he doesn't plan to get too involved.
Qin Boyang is much easier to talk than him.
"Yuanyasu..."
"Master?"
"Learn more, young master, I will become bigger and stronger in the future, you can't still be the head guard, right?"
Li Yuankang was stunned: "Master, then I can't be the chief spy. I can't control so many people."
"..."
