No one expected that just such a conversation would make the people of Moon Island so emotional.
Everyone in the audience seemed to be looking forward to their new life in Duanjiabao.
This effect was not expected by not only Chai Jingyun, but also by Zhao Dachui, and even by Duan Wenjun himself.
But anyway, this is a good thing.
After the recruitment ceremony, Zhao Dachui introduced everyone into the village and held a banquet and wine.
Lou Loulou, on the other hand, led the officers and soldiers to carry out the details of the surrender.
After all, Moon Island will cease to exist in the future, and everything here will be taken over by the imperial court.
Also accompanying Lou Loulou were Gu Hongfu, the housekeeper Duan Wenjun brought from Duanjiabao, and Chen Wenjing, who was married to the Chen family.
According to the plan, these people on Moon Island will enter Duanjiabao in batches.
Everyone needs to sign a contract except Lou Loulou who needs to verify their identity and submit a register.
Naturally, the contract was not signed with the court, but with Duan Jiabao.
Once the contract was signed, they were slaves of the Duan family from then on.
This may be the greatest convenience that Emperor Shun gave Duan Wenjun.
In this day and age, masters have almost absolute power to deal with domestic slaves.
After signing this name, even if Duan Wenjun wants to resell them, it will not violate Dashun's laws.
Or, if they dare to rebel, Duan Wenjun will not be held accountable if he kills them. The worst he can do is pay some money as a fine.
Since Duan Wenjun is the guarantor of these people, it seems fair that he also enjoys the right to dispose of them.
However, Duan Wenjun didn't think that just a contract could bind so many people.
Just like the carrot and stick policy of the day, if you want to be able to manage them well, you must use both kindness and power.
According to the imperial edict, they have become the domestic slaves of Duanjiabao, and they are slaves at this moment.
However, Duan Wenjun wanted them to know that this did not mean that they were all slaves of Duanjiabao.
Just like the workers in the Duanjiabao workshop today, although they have become slaves of the Duan family, it does not mean that they have lost their freedom.
On the contrary, in Duanjiabao, they can make money through hard work so that they and their families can live a better life.
However, once this contract is signed, they will be born as Duanjiabao's people, and they will die as Duanjiabao's ghosts.
If they don't get Duan Wenjun's consent, they are not allowed to leave Duanjia Fort.
This idea came from Duan Wenjun’s fat father, Duan Daxiong.
If you want to keep the Duan family's business secrets, these people must only work for the Duan family...
Although it sounds contrary to the concept of personal freedom in previous lives, Duan Wenjun has to admit that in this era, it is the most effective method.
No rules no standards.
If you are unable to draw a boundary and are too kind, you will easily become unscrupulous and think that the master is too casual and too easy to bully and fool.
The imperial edict stated that Duan Wenjun paid five taels of silver per person as a guarantee fee, which was not much different from buying them.
Duan Wenjun also made it clear that Duan Jiabao would not raise these people in vain.
Of course, when they go to Duanjiapu, they will live in ready-made houses and eat prepared rice.
Duan Wenjun even prepared new clothes for them.
In this way, the conditions in Duanjiabao will be much better than those on Moon Island.
However, these things cannot be given or taken for free.
They need to earn it through their own labor.
They can earn wages through their own labor to pay for these expenses.
However, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will definitely earn much more than what they have to pay.
In this way, in a short time, their pockets will be rich.
Duan Wenjun plans to try to get these people to settle down completely during the Chinese New Year.
By then, Duanjiabao will end this supply, but they have already settled in Duanjiabao.
There is no difference between them and the farmers in Duanjiabao.
In a word, as long as they are willing to work and work hard, they will have a better tomorrow.
However, if you are idle and have a wrong mind, it is self-evident what kind of situation you will face when the time comes.
Of course, this is not because Duan Wenjun wants to squeeze them, but he must give them enough work.
If they have no work to do, they will easily cause trouble if they are too idle.
If their work is too heavy, they will feel that they are being squeezed, and they will feel dissatisfied and even do something out of resentment.
Therefore, Duan Wenjun wants them to have a head start, but he has to keep working hard, so that many things can be avoided.
Once these people enter Duanjiabao, they can only have one thought, and that is to work hard to make their lives better, and they have no energy to think about other things.
The main purpose of Gu Hongfu and Chen Wenjing's coming this time was to promote Duanjiabao's policies to everyone on the island.
They need everyone here to understand this.
Just like the county government's household registration check, Lou Loulou had everyone's name, gender, age, place of origin, etc. registered in a register, and Duan Jiabao also got a copy at the same time.
As for Gu Hongfu and Chen Wenjing, it was Lou Loulou and the others who asked for more details and selected those who had expertise among them.
Carpenters, blacksmiths, clay workers, those who have spun yarn, those who have raised silkworms...
As long as you have a skill, you will be treated differently when you arrive at Duanjiabao...
After the banquet, Zhao Dachui introduced all the small bosses on the island to Duan Wenjun.
There are more than 6,000 people on the island, and Zhao Dachui will take away 50 of them, but he did not say what they will do specifically.
All this was Chai Jingyun's arrangement, and it must have been the court's idea, so Duan Wenjun naturally couldn't ask more questions.
After the banquet, Chai Jingyun left Lou Loulou and his men to take charge of the subsequent handover, while he prepared to return to Lingxiao City.
With Gu Hongfu and Chen Wenjing here, Duan Wenjun was naturally relieved and followed them back to Duanjiapu.
There was no words all the way. After returning, Duan Wenjun did not go back to Duanjiabao, but took Yuan Gungun directly to Luofengpo.
Because he knew that tonight, the guards training at Luofengpo would face their first assessment after training for so long.
After more than ten days of training, the training of Luofengpo's guards has become impressive.
Although the combat power cannot be as powerful as Duan Wenjun imagined, at least, there is no problem in acting as the guard of Duanjiabao and maintaining the safety of Duanjiabao.
Duan Wenjun did not notify Luo Liangping and the others, but went directly to the outside of the camp. Yuan Gungun pulled him and flew up to a big tree nearby.
The two of them were eating the delicacies brought from Lingxiao City and looking at the team that was starting to gather in the camp. They seemed very leisurely.
The sun sets in the west, and the fiery red sunset lights up half of the sky.
The blood-red sun hung on the treetops, reflecting Duan Wenjun's face.
Feeling the mountain breeze, he took out the wine bag he carried with him, opened the lid, took a sip, and looked towards the camp again.
On the roof of a wooden house in the camp, Mo Shoucheng was lying half-lying and looking at the clouds in the sky. He opened the lid of the wine bag and drank several sips...
"Why does it look like Lao Qi has something on his mind?" Yuan Gagon also stared in Mo Shoucheng's direction and spoke first.
