Chapter 30: I thought Xie Jingrun was Zhou Papi
Rong Qingqing put his hand on the abacus and fiddled for a few times, and continued, "You have not worked for five days a month. Based on your current salary, you will be able to calculate eight cents for one more day. In five days, you will have to deduct for about forty cents. In addition, your food and accommodation in the mansion will calculate ten cents for you, right? The total amount is fifty cents.
But this is actually a small amount for you. Originally, your monthly salary was 250 cents. After deducting the five days of your strike and the 50 cents of food and accommodation expenses, the last thing that came to you was 200 cents. Are you still wrong with the wages you earn now?"
The maid was pale, holding the two hundred words in her hand, and was speechless.
When the other servants waiting behind heard these words, they all looked bleak and couldn't help but feel panicked.
Rong Qingqing glanced at everyone, "The Marquis' Mansion invited you to do things, not to let you eat and drink for free, but what have you been doing these days? If you don't do anything, you will still eat and live for free in the Marquis' Mansion.
I have also inquired about it. The salary given by our Marquis’ Mansion has always been more than twice as much as that of Beppu. Even if the Marquis ordered the salary to be reduced by half, the salary you earn is still quite large, and it will not be lower than that of Beppu.
The old marquis is generous and gives you a generous salary, but after he passed away, you became lazy and did not do anything for five consecutive days, and they still had to eat and live for free in the marquis' mansion. Who are you from the marquis' mansion? Where are you placed in the marquis' mansion?
You were invited by the Marquis’ Mansion to do things, but since you are unwilling to do things, the Marquis’ Mansion will not be able to support you for nothing. Why are you still doing? After you have collected this month’s salary today, you will pack up and leave quickly. The Marquis’ Mansion can’t afford to support you people.”
After hearing this, the servants were all silent and unable to speak. They deeply reflected on themselves. Have they done something wrong these days?
The Marquis' Mansion actually wants to drive them away?
Many people became scared.
But because they did not do anything first, they could not refute another word because they were unreasonable.
The whole yard was quiet and no one dared to say anything.
A long time later, a servant finally couldn't help but speak, "Old lady, we are not intentionally not doing anything. We heard that the Marquis' Mansion will not pay wages, so that's why..." When the man touched Rong Qingqing's gaze, his voice became smaller and smaller until he disappeared.
Rong Qingqing smiled, "When will the Marquis' Mansion clearly stipulate that the servants will not be given salary? You have not proved it, so you believed the rumors and went on strike and did not do anything. Where did this place the Marquis' Mansion? Will you also betray the Marquis' Mansion at will after hearing other rumors in the future?
The Marquis' Mansion invites you to do things, but what do you do is aware of being a servant? Rather than that, the Marquis' Mansion will let you make a different plan." After saying that, he stopped talking and continued to pay monthly money to them one by one according to the names of the servants registered in the booklet.
The book not only records the names of the servants of the mansion, but also records the positions they have taken, the monthly salary, and even where they live and how old they are, which is very convenient and easy to use.
Of course, the positions they do are different, and the monthly salary is also different.
And in the past few days, Rong Qingqing has actually done nothing.
She inquired about the money and prices of the Daliang Dynasty, as well as the salaries of the servants of various prefectures, and then compared them.
I found that Xie Jingrun was not that harsh. Although his monthly salary was reduced by half, it was determined according to the current market conditions.
At first she thought Xie Jingrun was Zhou Bapi and wanted to exploit the working people at the bottom.
