75 The Iron Hand in the Dark
Lu Tiansheng's home is also a simple shed made of wood. On the surface, it is no different from other tenant homes. However, it is well organized, divided into several rooms by wooden boards, and the items are placed quite reasonably. It is more like an ordinary farmer's home.
It's incomparable.
A small thing can make a big difference, this person still has some brains, Liu Baiyu thought in his heart, but on the surface he raised his hand quietly, letting Lu Tiansheng show his value.
"Master, do you know that you went astray from the beginning? Fortunately, the number of people is still small and it is easy to reverse, otherwise..."
Are you alarmist? This kind of person likes this. Liu Baiyu didn't have any expression and raised his hand to indicate for him to continue.
"The master treats others too leniently. This is true in times of governance, but in troubled times, it is, but it is..."
"Speak more carefully. I'm very pressed for time. I don't have time to listen to your riddles!" Liu Baiyu felt that Lu Tiansheng and Du Guangjiu were both the same. It's best to go straight. If you talk in circles and waste your brains, you might not be able to talk.
It won't be worth it if you will be bypassed.
Lu Tiansheng nodded hurriedly and bowed his head in agreement, completely different from the arrogant look at the entrance of the village:
"Master, since ancient times, whether it is the emperor or the owner of the tenant, the first priority is justice! What is the world like now? This county is already good, but you can't see one just a few hundred steps away? Which family?
Didn't the master turn the tenants into indentured servants of his own family? The master did the opposite. The first thing is wrong!"
"I'm afraid that if this good free man becomes an indentured servant, he will cause trouble."
"There is a saying that cuts through the mess with a sharp sword! Master, this free man has many thoughts. Let's just say that you have asked everyone to plant new seeds and learn new farm skills in the past few days. Are these tenants not just obediently and implicitly?"
"This person's thoughts change slowly..."
"Master, what you said is wrong. They are not the students you open a private school, but your property. To put it bluntly, these tenants are just pigs and sheep who can stand and walk. For pigs and sheep, whips are better than
Let them learn everything quickly!”
These words are too harsh. Although Liu Baiyu's modern concept of equality for all has been obliterated by the cruel reality of the late Ming Dynasty, Liu Baiyu still cannot accept the concept of treating living people as walking pigs and sheep!
So Liu Baiyu was very angry and laughed back: "Lu Tiansheng, you said they are walking pigs and sheep, then who are you?"
"I am the master's vicious dog. I will bite whoever the master tells me to bite!" Lu Tiansheng said without hesitation!
"You have to let me take in your dog first! Speaking of which, you are too insidious. If you can't be used, I can only kill you!" Liu Baiyu told the truth. He really needed Lu Tiansheng to be like this.
People with dark psychology, but such people also need to be very reliable. As for Lu Tiansheng, I only have deep doubts now, and I can't see the word "reliable" at all.
"Trust must be accumulated slowly. Master, let's take a look at my abilities first!" Lu Tiansheng smiled confidently:
"It's true that your kindness is a good thing, but you hired the wrong people. Let's just say these tenants. Most of them are locals. The fact that other gentry didn't take them in shows that these people are not worthy of their duties..." Lu Tiansheng was very dissatisfied.
He said it with care, not caring at all that he was not doing his duty.
Liu Baiyu knew that the so-called unduty people had a certain spirit of resistance. If he had taken the rebel route, this would not be a bad thing, but now that he was taking the landlord farming route, it was not a good thing... He raised his hand.
, motioning for Lu Tiansheng to continue.
"Moreover, these people who are native to this town can't even find a guarantor. This shows that even the Liu family members know about their naughty ways. You just didn't ask, sir!"
In this era, the fact that a local native could not find a guarantor really meant that his character was quite serious. Liu Baiyu realized that he had overlooked this, and couldn't help but blush, and motioned to Lu Tiansheng to sit down and talk:
"Continue! But I always feel that these people have human hearts, and I treat them affectionately and righteously..."
"Master, being kind and righteous to ordinary people will be rewarded. It's just a matter of time. But for these scoundrels, it can't be done. They can only be regarded as weak and can be bullied! Let's talk about today. The master will regulate the relationship between indentured servants and slaves.
Regarding the tenants, these guys still dare to hold sticks against you, do they have you as their master in their hearts?"
Lu Tiansheng's words pierced Liu Baiyu's heart. What Liu Baiyu was most afraid of was being unpopular. Looking back carefully, judging from the performance of the tenants today, his compassion was really unrewarded. If it weren't for the guards he brought,
Enough, those tenants who hold sticks against them may not necessarily kneel down and beg for mercy!
Is this the so-called penalty of drinking wine if you don’t eat the toast? Liu Baiyu smiled bitterly:
"So, things have come to this, Lu Tiansheng, what do you think we should do?"
"All tenants must sign a deed of sale, otherwise they will get out!"
"What about causing dissatisfaction among the tenants and causing trouble?"
"These people are bullies and afraid of the strong. I can just select a dozen strong ones from the indentured slaves to be their supervisors! Anyway, there are a lot of conflicts between the two sides today. Needless to say, the indentured slave supervisors will work hard!"
"Isn't this just a bad reputation? We agreed to find tenants and then everyone signed a deed of sale?"
"Besides the master, no one else can find tenants now. They are all indentured servants. It is clear that the master does not know the market and has suffered a loss! These guys did not receive a season of crops for the master, and the master kept them free for nearly ten days.
, is there anything wrong!?" Lu Tiansheng said indignantly, Liu Baiyu heard this and felt that he was really justified.
Who knew that Lu Tiansheng’s bad moves were still coming, he smiled at Liu Baiyu:
"Of course, it's best to find a crime and beat a few to death, such as stealing things from the house or something! These people are all cheap, and the more they beat them, the more they will obey them!"
"Human life is at stake! I won't object to finding a few charges, but just beating someone to death will be exempted!"
"Master! You can't be soft-hearted!"
"That's it!" Liu Baiyu said with a stern voice. In fact, it was not because he was soft-hearted, but because he felt that if he had no bottom line, he might not be able to stand himself in the future!
Liu Baiyu adopted Lu Tiansheng's suggestion and asked the guards to go around to find the tenants' crimes. As a result, Liu Baiyu's face became extremely ugly. No wonder the locals couldn't find a guarantor. Apart from other things, his hands and feet were unclean.
That's enough. Of the more than a hundred tenants, except for a few old people with bad legs and feet, there were only seven or eight who didn't find any stolen goods, and this included Lu Tiansheng's family!
And it's not just that the tenants are a group of thieves. There are even several people who were deceived and frightened by Lu Tiansheng and confessed that they had colluded with Guo Tianlong's minions, the owner of Funiu Village, and were ready to cooperate inside and outside to kill Liu Baiyu, a fat sheep.
Zhuangzi is ruined, so I can spend a large amount of money to become a rich man's top goods in Jiangnan! Don't even think about it, Funiu Village Master Guo Tianlong and his gang have knives in their hands, why should they give you the money?
As for the rice grains Liu Baiyu sent, what he got in exchange was the title of idiot behind the scenes of the tenants. They even derogatoryly called Liu Baiyu a Liaodong guy, a runaway slave of the Tatars, etc. Not only could they not talk about superiority and inferiority, but they were even the most basic people.
The respect between people was gone. Liu Baiyu couldn't bear it anymore. According to Lu Tiansheng's suggestion, he asked Da Niu and Er Niu to hang a few of the most filthy talkers. At the same time, he announced that all tenants would be converted into indentured servants.
Those who were dissatisfied were all stripped of their clothes and thrown out to die!
Holding back the tears of his good intentions being deceived and ridiculed, Liu Baiyu said to Lu Tiansheng:
"Mr. Lu, Bai Yu takes many things for granted. I don't know how sinister people are. I don't have any talents who can manage the indentured slaves well. Can you..."
Lu Tiansheng knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Liu Baiyu:
"I have read the rules of indentured slaves compiled by the master. They are stricter than those in the army. It's just that the people are too kind-hearted. And speaking of supervisors, the five indentured slave supervisors promoted by the master are all good.
Talent! So I am still willing to be your master’s dog, your loyal lackey, and a mad dog in the eyes of everyone!”
Liu Baiyu hurriedly helped Lu Tiansheng up, with a lot of emotions in his heart: Under the glory of these heroes and emperors throughout the ages, there will always be an iron hand that stretches out from the darkness and returns to the darkness. Liu Bang has Chen Ping.
Stalin had Beria and Yezhov... There was nothing that could be done about it. People who wanted to achieve great things wanted to conspire, and even if the other party knew about it, there was nothing they could do about it.
However, although the conspiracy is invisible, it will be a big joke once it is exposed, but there are not many heroes who fall under the conspiracy. The blood of Caesar in the West proves all this. In China, the history books cover up a lot, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty
After talking about Chen Ping's merits, I know it and some things can be seen much more clearly.
"Mr. Lu, Bai Yu naturally needs talents like you, but there are some things I want to say up front. It is very rare for Chen Ping to die well. Many times, you have to do something. After you do it, I
