Su Jian put down her pen and handed the contract she had drawn up to Xiong Xiongzi: "If you are literate, take the lead in reading it. After reading it, let the literate people read it. For those who are illiterate, tell them what it means."
"Madam, do you want everyone who follows you to sign this contract?" Xiong Xiong took a look and noticed the change in the expressions of Liniang and others when he said the contract, and hurriedly said: "Madam, few people in the house signed to sell themselves.
Deed."
Su Jian nodded, understanding the implication of Xiong Xiongzi's words. No one had signed the deed of betrayal, and if she asked everyone to sign the deed at this time, it would make everyone think that they were suspected of selling themselves. She is now making a good start in the house, but she has
It's just a good start, but it doesn't really prove how popular it is.
"Madam, you spent money to treat everyone to meat today. All the slaves are grateful, but at this time, you have to sign the contract of sale..." Liniang did not finish her words, but she believed that Su Jian understood the implication of her words.
Does Liniang mean to sell her body after just one meal of meat... humiliate others? Su Jian looked at Liniang deeply, she was not that stupid, she would not give them benefits and then suddenly find something to blame herself for.
"Earlier, I heard someone say that although you are all from the General's Mansion, you did not sign the deed of betrayal. The General is the master of the Mansion, and even if he does not make any demands on you, I naturally will not ask you to sell yourself."
Liniang's face relaxed when she heard this. She just wanted to sell her body and make a contract.
"I called you here today. Firstly, we have the most contact with each other and are familiar with each other. Secondly, you are all people who have personally expressed your loyalty to me, so I will not treat you as outsiders. Since I do not treat you as
Outsiders, then I want to tell you about my future plans."
"Madam..." Liniang was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Su Jian had completely regarded her as one of his own.
"Thank you, madam, for your trust, but it doesn't matter, madam." Xiong Da was the first to stand up and salute.
Su Jian looked at Liniang, Xiong Xiazi, Xiong's three brothers, Zhang Da and others one by one, and said: "I want a good harvest in the village, so that everyone can have enough to eat; I also want to do business and make money. I have made money.
, although I won’t spend money like water, but I want my hands and the hands of the people who help me to have money!”
Two simple sentences, each one struck everyone's hearts with more weight than the other.
"I'm different from you generals. I firmly believe that there are no rules, and I firmly believe that someone should take the lead in doing things. If something is done well, there will naturally be rewards. If it is not done well, there will naturally be punishments.
And this is why I ask those who want to do things for me to sign a contract. Of course, this is not only a restriction on you, but also a restriction on me, because if I do not treat you according to the terms stipulated in the contract, you can go to the government to sue me.
.”
"Madam, how dare you, slave?" Liniang knelt down directly towards Su Jian. She was surprised that Su Jian would let them go to the government to sue her. Did she really regard them as her own? No! To be more precise, she was
Give them the right to be human beings!
"There is no dare or dare here, only willingness or unwillingness. If you are willing, just sign. If you are not willing to sign but still willing to help me, I will still give you ten copper coins a month."
"Madam, we all..."
Liniang raised her head suddenly. When she reacted, she grabbed Xiong Da's sleeve and stopped Xiong Da from speaking. She realized her impoliteness and hurriedly said: "Madam, can you give us some time to let us understand?"
Could you please tell me the contents of the contract?"
"Of course." Su Jian raised her hand and pointed at the door: "One night, I will listen to your decision tomorrow. If you are the first batch of signers, you will become the stewards under my assigned tasks."
Blind Xiong's eyes lit up. Does the steward mean that he can be an official?
Su Jian did not look at their different expressions, but waved her hand and told them to leave quickly.
The room fell silent, but for a moment, footsteps sounded again.
"Come back so soon?" Didn't give them a night to think about it.
"lady."
Song Siqi?
When Su Jian saw Song Siqi, she was surprised for a moment: "Mr. Song."
"I'm just a small accountant in the mansion, how can I afford to be called a sir by my wife?"
Su Jian looked at Song Siqi who was saluting her, and suddenly smiled: "They say they don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I wonder why Mr. Song came to the backyard instead of eating meat in the front yard."
Song Siqi raised his head. Even though he realized that it was inappropriate for him to look directly at Su Jian, he still couldn't help but asked: "Madam, do you have any objections to me?"
"..."
"Why don't you stay here, madam?" Seeing Su Jian's silence, Song Siqi's heart sank. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask about the purpose of coming today.
"Mr. Song's words are funny. Could it be that Mr. Song doesn't want to work with me?"
Song Siqi raised his eyes and met each other. He understood that Su Jian was telling him about things that had not been registered with Liniang. However, Liniang did not register herself, but Madam also arranged for Liniang to do things.
Su Jian looked into Song Siqi's eyes: "Although I am your mistress, I have no intention of forcing you to do things. Based on the principle of voluntariness, everyone cooperates and wins, which is the best state."
"Madam's idea is something we have never heard of." It turned out that Madam did not really treat them as slaves. Song Siqi was deeply touched, and quickly adjusted her mind and said: "I came here today because I want to ask Madam to give me a chance.
Let me do my work under Madam's hands."
When Su Jian heard this, her brows moved. Is he willing to help her? Song Siqi is the accountant of the mansion. He must be good at arithmetic, writing, and even know the people in the mansion well. This is a talent.
"Just wait, I will give you the contract. If you think it is suitable, just sign it. If it is not suitable, it doesn't matter if you don't sign it."
Song Siqi was prepared to be rejected and embarrassed. Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Su Jian agreed directly. At that time, Song Siqi would never have thought that Su Jian's willingness to agree was because she was short of people to provide maintenance and care for the crops.
The three brothers of Xiong Xiong have managed to find a person in charge, but doing business is different. So far, she feels that Xu Qiang still has some talent. If she wants to become bigger and stronger, she must find more reliable people.
people.
"Mr. Song, you can think about it and give me an answer tomorrow."
"No need for tomorrow."
Su Jian was stunned and looked at Song Siqi in surprise. She saw him signing his name with a brush and stamping his seal. She blinked and said, "Mr. Song, you can see the content clearly.
?”
"This subordinate is willing to be my wife!"
"..." Su Jian looked at Song Siqi intently for a while, then suddenly smiled, walked to him, patted his shoulder. As if she didn't feel the tremor of his body, she smiled and said, "Mr. Song is a courageous man.
Yes, you are worthy of a big responsibility! It’s too late today, come to me early tomorrow morning and take up the post.”
Song Siqi saluted, and when he turned to leave, there was another contract in his hand. He looked at Su Jian doubtfully.
"The signed copy cannot be given to you again, but the content of this copy is the same as the one you signed."
Madam, is she asking him to watch carefully to avoid being deceived?
Song Siqi's face remained silent, but his heart was moved, and he solemnly saluted Su Jian again.
