It’s true that these people are capable, but if they can’t really return to their hearts, he won’t want them. What he wants is everyone’s mutual consent. Otherwise, even if they are protected by the law of domestic slavery, who can guarantee that they will not appear? What about other surprises?
Initially, some people were still hesitant, fearing that rejecting the proposal would offend Duke Zhongguo, and they, the common people, were afraid that they would not have a good life in the future. But with these words, they no longer had worries, and many people have already He made a decision, that is, not to join the Zhongguo Duke's mansion and not become Shen Ao's domestic slave.
Many of these people have recently come into contact with all kinds of people, all of whom came to inquire about soaps and perfumes, and some even revealed that they would spend a lot of money to poach them. Who doesn't like money? If it weren't for the country's Changlong's brand is big enough. Of course, the most important thing is that they themselves have not understood the production process of these things. All they have done is a certain amount of work. Shen Ao is doing the core things, so he has not left. The country is prosperous.
In their view, as long as they are still here, they will have the opportunity to learn this knowledge. Although they will not change jobs immediately, wouldn't having an additional skill give them more capital to survive, or live better? Then Once you become a domestic slave of the Duke of Zhongguo, what's the use of learning all this? Not only do you have to work hard for one family, it's not worth it anymore.
This may be the difference between great workers and ordinary people. For ordinary people who are struggling to make a living, if they learn that there is an opportunity to become a domestic slave of the loyal government, they will agree without hesitation. This is equivalent to eating royal food Yes, who wouldn’t want to?
Only those who are truly capable would consider starting their own business.
After Shen Ao's words, most of the big workers stood there with serious faces, showing no intention to stand up. However, some people were optimistic about Shen Ao, or they were optimistic about the identity of the slaves of Zhongguo Gongfu. .
In their eyes, Shen Ao is still young and has achieved such great achievements, so can his future prospects be limited? With such a person, you will not have to worry about your livelihood, and maybe you can live a better life. With a shelter, No matter what the world is like in the future, they and their descendants will not have to worry about anything. Even if it is like this, what else is there to consider?
At that moment, a total of eight people stood up and expressed their willingness to become the domestic slaves of the Zhongguo Palace. Among them were the Hu family and his son who were brought from Zhao's workshop.
Of the nearly forty people, only eight were willing, which was not even a quarter. The butler Shen Xing and the guard Shi Lei looked on with angry expressions on their faces. Those who did not come forward were regarded as unworthy in the eyes of these two people. Know the existence of promotion.
Being able to have eight people stand up, in Shen Ao's eyes, he was already very satisfied. He didn't want to hollow out all Guochanglong's great workers at once, which would be difficult to deal with when facing the eldest princess. Eight people , It’s not too much, it’s not too much. We have enough manpower for the time being to do what we want to do. As for the future, when the business becomes bigger, we will just recruit more people. But no matter what, we will not be able to use the remaining thirty-two Recruited.
Opportunity can be given to you, but only once.
Shen Ao would not take a second look at people who were not good at seizing opportunities.
"Okay, welcome the eight of you to join the big family of Zhongguo Palace. From now on, everyone will be your own people. Uncle Shen will arrange for their family to go to Zhongguo Palace and find some errands for them, as well as these eight people. , their wages are doubled. Well, from now on, let’s start with ten taels of silver per month. After that, it will continue to increase. Do you think it will work?”
These words were spoken in a consultative tone. When Hood and others heard these words, they all nodded hurriedly with a look of surprise on their faces, "The slaves are grateful for the kindness of the master and are willing to be loyal to the master for the rest of their lives." ."
Seeing the eight people kneeling sincerely in front of him, Shen Ao laughed and said: "Very good. Uncle Shen, take them to Fan Bai and explain to him that these eight people will be members of our Zhongguo Duke's Palace from now on. Go to the Yamen again and finish the contracts for eight people."
"No." Shen Xing agreed from the side, then waved to the eight men from Hood, and they immediately left. The other big workers were left behind, with envy in their eyes.
Although the salary of Guochanglong's big workers is already good, each person only needs five taels of silver per month. This makes outsiders envious. I have to say that in this era, skilled workers are still not valued. .
Now, Shen Ao directly gave them ten taels of silver. It is no exaggeration to say that even the skilled workers in the palace would not be able to receive this kind of treatment. Based on this, some people already regretted it. After all, even if If you are recruited by other businessmen, you may not be offered such a high salary.
They even hoped that Shen Ao would speak again, in which case they would choose to be the slaves of the Zhongguo Duke's house like Hu De and others.
It's a pity that they didn't have a chance, and they won't have a chance in the future. Shen Ao waved to them, "Just do what you should do. But there is one thing. You are not allowed to go near a certain workshop in the future. Shi Lei, this matter I'll leave the matter to you. If anyone dares to approach without orders, don't be polite. Just deal with him and don't beat him to death."
His tone was completely different. At this time, Shen Ao was as fierce as a wolf with its mouth wide open.
"Ah? Why?"
At this moment, the big workers were all panicking. They did not expect such a result.
The reason why they did not join Zhongguo Mansion and become a domestic slave was that they wanted to shop around. As long as they could learn Shen Ao's skills, where would they go to live in the future and live a better life? It's better now. Skills can't be learned. Now, in this case, it is better to be a domestic slave. At least the treatment will be very generous, and you won’t have to worry about the family’s livelihood in the future, right?
At this time, almost all the big workers began to regret, wondering if they were too greedy?
For them, Shen Ao no longer had the need or idea to explain. He had already stood up and walked towards the workshop under the protection of Shi Lei. The other two guards, Feng Xun and Geng Liang, were already standing in front of the big workers with waist knives in their hands. , there is a picture that if you approach without permission, I will take care of you.
"My lord, I am willing to become a domestic slave. Please give me a chance." Behind Shen Ao, there was a sound of kneeling down, and someone finally began to regret it.
"I am also willing, and I would like to ask the Duke to grant it." One after another, people knelt down. They could see that this time they would become abandoned people. Without access to the core technology, they were just ordinary people. It's just a big job. If they have no use, Guo Changlong will not look good on them. If they don't do it well, they won't even get five taels of monthly income. After all, you can create value, and people will look up to you. One glance, if not, you are nothing.
Shen Ao left.
He walked very resolutely. Even though the workers behind him all knelt down in the end, they didn't even make a move to look back.
This scene fell in the eyes of Shi Lei's three guards, and they were greatly shocked. Once upon a time, the young master was like a child in their eyes, and liked to play around. A lot has changed this time, even though he has achieved some achievements, then It should also be classified as gifted. Having achievements does not mean that you have really grown up.
But now, Shen Ao's resolute performance fell into the eyes of the three guards. They finally knew that the young master had grown up and was no longer the young master running around causing trouble everywhere, but had truly become a young master. The mainstay of the mansion became their master.
...
Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace.
The eldest princess returned here not long after she left.
Emperor Qianwen, who was still reviewing the memorial, asked without thinking, "Is the matter done?"
"Emperor...Brother, Lord Zhongguo did not agree." The eldest princess said with a guilty conscience. This was an order from the emperor, just like a will. Shen Ao's behavior was tantamount to resisting the order, and he seemed to be doing the same. Indirect resistance.
Ever since she was a child, she had listened to the emperor's brother in everything. She had never been disobedient. This was the first time, and she couldn't help but beat the drum secretly in her heart.
"Oh...huh?" Finally putting down the memorial in his hand, Emperor Qianwen raised his head, his eyebrows knitted together, obviously full of surprise at this result.
"My sister is guilty." With a plop, the eldest princess knelt down on the ground, and then told all what Shen Ao said to her. After that, she took out the bag of refined salt as white as snow from her arms. Raise your hands above your head.
Yan Fu on the side also hurriedly stepped forward, took the refined salt in his hand, and then placed it tremblingly in front of the dragon case. This was the first time in his life that he saw such pure white salt. Although he had never tasted it, Just from the appearance, you can feel that it is different.
"This is...salt?" Emperor Qianwen had already forgotten what the eldest princess had just said. At this time, his attention was completely focused on the bag of snow-white salt in front of him.
"Back to Brother Huang, it is table salt but not. It can be called iodized salt or refined salt. Duke Zhongguo said that it has better quality, more delicious taste and higher nutrition. When people eat this, they become more healthy. By using it to replenish the body's lost nutrients, it can also prevent diseases and make the complexion more beautiful. Using it to make meals will taste more delicious." According to what Shen Ao taught, the eldest princess followed every word. He said it out loud.
"Does it really have such an effect?" Emperor Qianwen was really shocked. If it just looks good, it is nothing. Anyway, you can't see its existence when eating, but if it is like the eldest princess said, It would be great if it could make people stronger and have a certain chance of changing their physique and preventing diseases. Doesn’t it mean that the soldiers of Daqian will be more brave and have a greater chance of winning after eating this? And the common people If you eat this food, you will get less disease and have a higher survival rate. Can you ensure that the growth rate of the population is accelerated?
