People in the entire labor market were busy with their own affairs, dozing off to catch lice, or chatting with their hands folded under their heads, and no one looked over.
Zheng Ruqian was helpless and cleared his throat and said, "We are looking for permanent workers here. Is there anyone willing to sign a ten-year contract? You can renew or terminate the contract when it expires. We don't force it."
Long-time worker?
The people in the labor market looked strangely in their eyes and quickly sneered.
In their eyes, ten years of long-term labor is tantamount to being directly sold into slavery. In comparison, short-term labor is more comfortable and relaxing.
Zheng Ruqian shouted again, but still no one answered.
Just when he had accepted the trip in vain and was about to take his sister away, a tall figure stood up and said, "I'll go."
"Ten years of long-term contract, what does Yue Yin say?" The man strode over, followed by a slightly younger boy.
The two of them look like brothers when they stand together, but if you look closely, you can feel the difference in appearance.
The man looks burly and dignified, a fully grown man.
The slightly younger boy is extraordinarily ordinary... he has normal facial features and a normal face shape, but when put together, people can't remember what he looks like.
Jiang Sheng was still looking at people curiously.
Zheng Ruqian had already taken out the draft he had prepared in advance, "The long-term workers I hired do not work as coolies, but they have to travel around and the location is uncertain. They will be given five taels of silver a year and will increase as appropriate in the coming year."
Five taels of silver!
Even if I work non-stop for 365 days a year, I can still earn more than ten yuan a day. The key is that I don’t have to do any hard work, which is much better than unstable day labor (already practiced).
As soon as Zheng Ruqian finished speaking, a dozen day laborers came forward with bright eyes and wanted to recommend themselves.
But Zheng Ruqian shook his head and refused, looking only at the burly man.
The man did not hesitate, pointing to the young man behind him and said, "I have no other request. I just hope that I can bring my brother with me. My boss can rest assured that he can do any job and is also a good driver of a carriage."
Zheng Ruqian thought for a moment and agreed. He took the two of them to the Yamen to sign a deed and crossed Ming Road, and brought them back to the small courtyard.
at the same time.
In the small courtyard, Jiang San and Jiang Si also sent back the results of the investigation.
Zhu Zhi was very courageous, and the outer room he raised was not far from Zhu's house, in a round alley.
Precisely because the distance was too close, the Zhu family did not notice anything unusual and just assumed that he liked to hang around near their home.
It is true that the eldest son was born in the outer room. When Jiang San was following, he also heard that Zhu Zhi promised that the eldest son would be raised by the outer room as an heir and inherit everything from him in the future.
This has violated the laws of the Dayu Dynasty. According to the regulations of the day, children of concubines can never pass over their legitimate children.
"If Zhu Zhi wants to be an official, he will not dare to favor the concubine over the legitimate son and designate the concubine as the heir." Chang Yan tapped the three fingers of his right hand on the table, "Unless...he has no legitimate son."
Xu Mo and Wen Zhiyun felt a chill.
Zhu Zhi was so hypocritical that he allowed the Zhu family to make arrangements to marry a famous lady for him, but in private he supported an outside wife. Before marrying the lady, he had already planned to have someone else die.
Due to emotions and reasons, they should expose this matter, not only to tear up Zhu Zhi's hypocrisy, but also to save a famous lady.
But how to tear it up is the key.
The energy of the aristocratic family is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If you act rashly, you will just pick up the carrot and bring out the mud. No one from Xu Mo to Jiang Sheng can escape.
Presumably this is the reason why Zhu Sihuan did not do it himself.
"It's best to borrow your own strength, but we don't even have a familiar aristocratic family in Fengjing." Chang Yan took a deep breath, "We can only try to find outsiders and beggars to do it, and we have to hide our identities to avoid It involves us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Ruqian and Jiang Sheng walked in with the brothers.
The burly man in front was nothing. When he saw the young man behind him, Chang Yan's eyes lit up.
An appearance that is very ordinary, so ordinary that it cannot make any splash among the crowd, is better than any disguise.
When he learned that these two were Zheng Ruqian's newly hired long-term workers, Chang Yan could not conceal his joy.
Zheng Ruqian was startled, "What's wrong with Xiao Wu? You use too many melon seeds in your head, are you stupid?"
Chang Yan laughed and stared at the two of them with piercing eyes.
After a short introduction, the resumes of the two people were clarified.
They are not brothers, but people from the same village. The older one is named Gao Dawan and the younger one is named Gao Yan. They agreed to come to Fengjing to work and make money, but they were almost tricked into signing a deed of prostitution in the east of the city.
"Although ten years is a long time, it is still different from a contract of sale." Gao Dawan said honestly, "We are new here and can't even find part-time workers in the labor market. If we don't find a profitable job, we will starve to death."
"Then why don't you go back to your hometown?" Jiang Sheng wondered.
If she can no longer survive in Fengjing, she will definitely pack her bags and return to Xieyang County and Shilipu Village immediately, so that she can beg for food and not starve to death.
Gao Dawan looked a little embarrassed.
Still Gao Yan whispered, "We have to support our parents and find a wife. Of course we can't go back to our hometown in disgrace."
Of course a homeless child without a father or mother can survive by begging for food.
But people who have parents and a family have responsibilities and heavy burdens on their shoulders.
Jiang Sheng nodded in understanding.
On the side, Chang Yan took out two broken pieces of silver from his arms and said, "Do one thing for me, and these two taels of silver will be yours."
Gao Dawan and Gao Yan's eyes widened at the same time.
The owner's offer of five taels a year was already considered a high price, but I didn't expect that this person would be more generous. One thing was two taels.
"Will it be difficult?" Gao Yanshang muttered.
Gao Dawan was so excited that he said, "No matter how difficult it is, I will go through fire and water for my employer."
Chang Yan and Xu Mo raised their lips at the same time.
Of course, the matter is not difficult. All he needs to do is ask Gao Yan to change into the clothes of a servant of the Zhu family and take the initiative to ask a lady from a well-known family to meet him in Yong'an Lane.
Yong'an Lane is where Zhu Zhi raised his wife. It is the first house on the corner and is very easy to identify.
According to Jiang Si's observation, Zhu Zhi would go to Yong'an Lane every evening and return to Zhu's Mansion when the sky was dark. He claimed to be reciting poems with his friends, but in fact he was in the arms of a beautiful woman.
Although the lady from a well-known family was confused, the person who came to deliver the letter was a servant of the Zhu family, and the location was particularly precise. She had already exchanged invitations with Zhu Zhi, so she would meet him both emotionally and rationally.
The time Gao Yan gave was later in the evening, which happened to be the time when Zhu Zhi had entered Yong'an Lane to be gentle. The lady from a well-known family was waiting at the corner. By the time she was getting agitated, it was almost time for Zhu Zhi to come out of Yong'an Lane.
The fostered Wai Shi had a habit of holding Zhu Zhi on his arm and reluctantly walking to the alley before leaving.
The irritated lady from a famous family turned around and saw her fiancée being held by the arm of a plump woman and being driven to the entrance of the alley where they had to rub their ears and temples together, and their great cultivation was about to break.
"Zhu Zhi!" The person in the carriage was furious and jumped out of the carriage angrily, "What are you doing! Who is that person next to you!"
