Yun Chao remained silent until everyone consciously quieted down, then he spoke.
"If you work with me, you can only ensure that you have enough to eat. How much you can earn depends on whether I can make money. If you make a big contribution, you will get more rewards. If you make a small contribution, you will get less money..."
Yun Chao doesn't make any promises at all, and he won't cultivate a group of high-welfare parasites from the very beginning. He wants to make money and live a good life. I'm sorry, there will be no pie in the sky. Follow me. Do your best!
Originally, Yun Chao thought that if he spoke so harshly, most of them would leave immediately. Without guarantee of benefits, who would take risks with you?
Unexpectedly, not even a single person walked away!
"Brother Chao, stop nagging about what the exam is going to be like, hurry up, we are all still waiting to go home and work!"
"Yes, Brother Chao, if you want to live a good life, you must not be afraid of death. Although we have not read books, we know the truth. You don't need to say it anymore. Since we are willing to let our children follow you, we have already known it in our hearts. Countless!"
Yun Chao understood that the villagers' clamoring was really just trying to get better conditions. Now that he knew that he could not change his mind, of course he accepted the situation.
"Well, if you are willing to follow me, stand up!"
Yun Chao pointed towards an open space: "Each family can only have one person, not more!"
Yun Chao planned to recruit six people, and he visually inspected the number of villagers who came from no less than thirty families. If there was no quota limit for each family, maybe some families would be able to select two or three.
Before he could use so many people, and before his prestige had reached a certain level, Yun Chao was reluctant to let his subordinates come from the same family, as that would easily form small groups and be difficult to manage.
The basic conditions Yun Chao already said yesterday are that he cannot be the only child in the family, he cannot be too old or too young, he must be above fourteen years old and below twenty years old, he cannot be too short, he cannot be too fat, and he cannot be too young. Be thin, and your body must not be sick, etc.
Less than thirty teenagers stood up. Yun Chao took a glance and found that there were still several families who were affected by the previous words and backed down. Although they did not leave, they did not let their boys come out.
Li Xing stood among a group of teenagers, his eyes full of determination.
No matter what, I must stay today!
Li Xing's father died while doing corvee service the year before last. His mother was so sad that she became ill from depression and passed away a year later.
There is only one grandma left in the family who cried her eyes out, and a pair of underage siblings.
Sixteen-year-old Li Xing can't support the whole family by himself, let alone repay the debt left by his mother's medical treatment.
It can be said that if there is no accident, the Li family will not survive this winter at all, and the whole family will starve to death!
Just when the Li family fell into despair, an accident happened.
Yun Chao actually miraculously changed, from a little brat that everyone hated, to a good young man that everyone envied.
During this period of time, word has spread throughout the village that following Yun Er you can have enough food, follow Yun Er you can get rich, and you can learn culture by following Yun Er...
The first time Yun Chao recruited people, he only selected from several families who had saved him. Li Xing had no chance at all.
Later, Yun Chao said that he would recruit people after a month, and Li Xing became desperate. Before he could wait for a month, his whole family would starve to death!
Maybe God sees their family as pitiful, or maybe it’s the reincarnation of the Living Bodhisattva Yun Chao. Good news suddenly came yesterday: Yun Chao is actually recruiting people in advance!
In order to be selected, the whole family was hungry for a whole day yesterday and let Li Xing eat all the food in the house.
Even so, Li Xing only ate half full, and not even a grain of rice this morning.
Although he stood inconspicuously among a group of teenagers, even though his stomach growled with hunger, and even though his body was shivering from the cold, Li Xing's heart was warm.
In order to have enough to eat and to keep his whole family alive, he would stay even if he risked his life!
"Um……"
Yun Chao suddenly felt that something was wrong.
After taking a closer look, I understood that the problem was with Li Xing: "Li Xing, go back."
Li Xing's face turned pale: "Brother Chao, why?"
Yun Chao waved his hand: "You don't meet the requirements. If something happens to you, who will support your family?"
It's not that Yun Chao doesn't want to take the responsibility, it's because his ability is limited.
If something happens to his subordinates, he has to support his whole family, which Yun Chao really can't do now.
One or two is fine, but if there are too many, Yun Chao will definitely be dragged down.
According to the regulations of the Wu Dynasty government, if a soldier is killed in battle, the pension is one year's salary.
For example, one month's food and salary is twenty-four taels of silver. If someone dies in battle, the government will pay them twenty-four taels of silver, which is considered a living wage.
Of course, in actual practice, soldiers who died in battle did not receive full pensions at all. It would be good to receive half, and some did not even receive a penny.
These are still official soldiers of the Great Wu Dynasty. If they are ordinary people serving in corvee service, I'm sorry. If you want some money as a pension, just ask the Lord of Hell for it!
Before Yun Chao accepted the person, he had already thought about giving him as much compensation as he could.
As for how much you can give, there is really no way to decide in advance. It depends on your specific financial situation.
Yun Chaoyun knew about Li Xing's situation. The whole family was old and young, and he was the only labor force. If anything happened, the whole family would starve to death.
Yun Chao couldn't bear such a big burden, and he didn't want to let the Li family fall into despair, so he was not prepared to accept him at all.
Li Xing raised his head stubbornly: "Brother Chao, why don't I meet the requirements? Am I the only son in the family?"
I go!
Yun Chao discovered a loophole in his rules. He only said that he did not want the only son in the family, but did not say that underage sons were not counted.
At that time, he just said it casually and didn't think so carefully at all. Who would have thought that someone would take advantage of the loophole.
"No, you are the only labor force in your family. If there is any accident, I can't explain it to your family."
Yun Chao is not stubborn. There is no way to take advantage of his loopholes. If Li Xing succeeds today, who knows how many people will play games with him tomorrow.
Yun Chao is the boss and has the final right of interpretation. If he doesn't want anyone, there is nothing anyone can do.
Plop!
Yun Chao was shocked.
Li Xing knelt straight in front of him.
"Brother Chao, please give me a chance. I, Li Xing, will repay you by working hard in my next life!"
Yun Chao was immediately defeated by Li Xing.
What the hell, if everyone does this, there will be no assessment, just to compare who is thick-skinned.
The wind must not rise, otherwise it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.
Just as Yun Chao was about to refuse, he heard several thumps.
Following the sound and looking into the crowd, Yun Chao's nose was almost crooked!
