Jiang Hexi distributed the silver according to his daily wages and ran to the river bank to see how the workers worked.
She saw colorful clothes floating on the river bank, each of which was very spectacular, but when she walked over, she found that there were some clothes, just some wooden stakes, and then she put on clothes.
Isn’t this the scarecrow used to scare birds? How do the river workers deal with people by using the method of dealing with animals?
When Jiang Hexi saw Huo Jingchen coming, he pulled him and asked, "Why did these people scrape their clothes here and then where did they go?"
Huo Jingchen pointed to the group of shirtless dice playing in the ground and explained: "They are all working side jobs there. They say they have no money to work, so it's better to go gamble."
Jiang Hexi frowned and complained: "Never work when it's dry now. When the flood season comes, the flood peak will come. Wouldn't they wait for death?"
Huo Jingchen shrugged and said to Jiang Hexi: "They are all outsiders and don't care about their lives or death. Moreover, their supervisors don't even know where the river embankment is or how long the river embankment is."
"It's really ridiculous!" Jiang Hexi patted his thighs angrily, and then said to Huo Jingchen: "You, call them over, I have something to say to them."
Huo Jingchen shrugged, frowned, and looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "I heard it right, did you ask me to call them over? Do you think this is still in the Golden Palace? Tell you, one or two of them have a bad temper, if they can't speak well
Listen, you can pick up your clothes and leave at any time."
Jiang Hexi nodded helplessly and said to Huo Jingchen: "Then, take me there, I'll go and tell them in person."
Huo Jingchen stood up and slowly pulled Jiang Hexi to the group of people next to him.
The group of people were having fun, and they didn't feel any stranger coming.
Huo Jingchen shouted: "Everyone, calm down. This is the new contractor boss of our family. Please hear what he has to say."
The group of people are playing cards very well, so they don’t care what they say. While playing cards, they say as if nothing is missing: “What contractor boss? Every day there are new contractor bosses, but they are like crows in the world.
.”
Jiang Hexi saw that there was no way, so he could only ask in a low voice: "Brothers, why don't you work? It's better to go home to play cards here."
A hegong who had just won the money stood up and said to Jiang Hexi: "You probably don't know the hardships of our poor family. We are poor and happy and romantic. We don't have much money to do things. It's better to just gamble. If you have good luck, you can get it back.
Dots.”
Jiang Hexi asked with some concern: "Then, what should you do if you lost money?"
"Lost money?" The person who just won the money smiled and said, "The people here all leave when they win, and continue to play when they lose. Newcomers keep coming in and losing money, and people keep running when they win.
The river is coming." While saying that, counting the money, he walked towards Majiang outside.
Jiang Hexi pretended to be concerned and asked, "Then, how much did you win today?"
The river maker took out a silver ingot and said to Jiang Hexi, "Two taels of silver!" As he said that, he put the two taels of silver in his arms with joy and left happily.
Jiang Hexi asked, "Isn't it half a tael of silver for you to make a day? Why did you win two taels of silver like a pie that fell from the sky? Can you be so happy that you don't do it?"
The river boss sighed and said, "You don't know that all the money is embezzled by your contractors. You delayed it and owed it. In the end, we won't get anything. It's better to gamble and go home.
Good."
Jiang Hexi suddenly opened his arms and blocked the river worker's trip to the river. He took out two taels of silver and said to him: "My master, the safety of the river embankment is related to everyone's wealth and life. If you leave like this, the flood will come in the future.
Wouldn't everyone be affected?"
The Hegong nodded and said scoundrelly: "There is no money, did you send it to me?"
Jiang Hexi smiled and looked at Hegong and said, "You guessed it, I'm going to send it to you. Look, I'll give you two taels of silver today. Are you looking enough?"
The Hegong looked at Jiang Hexi in surprise: "What did you say? Give me two taels of silver? Or will you give me it immediately? It's enough?"
Jiang Hexi put two silver dollars in Hegong's hand: "What do you think? Is this true or false?"
Hegong said happily: "Okay, okay, then I really won't leave."
As he said that, he said to his brothers, "Everyone is optimistic. This man said that he would give us two taels of silver after finishing the work. Now I have taken the lead in collecting it. Then I will take the lead in doing it. After he doesn't give the silver after finishing it, we will surround him.
, go to his house for dinner!”
Jiang Hexi curled his lips helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, since I want me to work with you, you can get some water, and I promise not to even drink water."
The emperor saw Jiang Hexi trying his best to protect the river embankment, so he stood by and watched. These river workers worked together to continuously build stones on it. After a while, the river embankment rose by a foot!
"Good!" the emperor smiled and said, "Didn't they say you were passive and lazy? Why did you do it so quickly today?"
The river engineer said a little embarrassedly: "You have policies from above and we have countermeasures from below. If you don't give us money or pay according to regulations, we will naturally stop working."
Jiang Hexi looked at the look of these river workers doing an atmosphere and smiled and said, "What about now? I'm giving you money now."
Hegong said embarrassedly: "It's shameful to say that before, we got half a tael of silver a day, and we had to owe it for a few months, so naturally we only made a few coins of silver. Now you give us two taels of silver, but you still trade it now.
If you sell it now, the efficiency is naturally three times that of the past."
Jiang Hexi nodded: "So, you can do it faster with three times the money, but why do those contractors still need to be rigorous?"
"I'd like to ask the court for money!" He Gong smiled and said, "I heard that Li Kun, the county magistrate of the county, is a first-class bastard. He eats, drinks, gambles, and does everything, but he is still shameless and stays alone.
In the position of this county magistrate, he said shamelessly that he would not change the prime minister."
"Just because of how much money is this river embankment?" the emperor asked in surprise: "How much money can this river embankment have?"
The river worker said helplessly: "We don't know how much money the river bank has, but we know that he deliberately kept some things every time, and had to return to work every year, and he had to do it again in two years, so that he could make a clever name and find a
The higher authorities want money.”
Jiang Hexi smiled and said, "Now he is dead, he has been cut to death, and he has been removed from all over the place, and he has no complete corpse."
