"That's right! Didn't sir come up with a team? I think they are training all day long, and they will fight if they want to fight!"
"I don't think it's a bandit's business. Maybe it's the gentleman who wants to raise our wages!"
"Salary increase? What are you thinking about!"
"What's wrong with thinking about it? Don't you want to raise your wages?"
"If you want me to tell me, it may be that the gentleman wants to announce his concubine!"
"Take a concubine? Who should I take?"
"Who else can it be? Director Yang! She has been living in her husband's house, but the husband has not given Director Yang a title yet!"
"Even if it's this, there's no need to call so many people to have a meeting, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense, sir and the others are here..."
Not far away, Lin Xu, Ruolan, Yang Min, village chief, Sun Chong and others walked over together, their faces very serious.
When he came to everyone, Lin Xu stood on a table that had been prepared long ago, looked at the vast crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is quiet!"
If so many people had a meeting, it would be difficult to calm down if they didn’t shout for a minute or two!
But this time, everyone was worried. Lin Xu only said this, and the entire threshing farm soon became silent!
Lin Xu looked around everyone again, then took a homemade loudspeaker from Sun Chong and said aloud: "Friends, there is an important thing to tell you today. I hope everyone will be mentally prepared first!"
"At noon today, the bandits from Xiaoyangshan came to our village. Some people already knew about it, some people might not know it, and some people might have heard some rumors..."
"I'll tell you here that at noon today, the bandits from Xiaoyangshan did come to our village, and it was brought by the second shopkeeper of Xiaoyangshan who was personally brought by!"
"Their purpose of coming here is to ask me to submit a bill to them!"
"Actually, since the textile factory in our village started construction, I have been paying the bill for Xiaoyangshan. I can't pay it if I don't! Otherwise, the fabrics weaving in our village would not be able to be delivered to the city at all!"
"I know everyone is afraid of bandits, so I haven't told everyone about this!"
"In the past, bandits asked me for one hundred taels of silver every month, so I endured it!"
"But today they came over and said that starting this month, they would have to pay 200 taels of silver every month!"
"I was worried that if I didn't give it, they would kill people and establish their authority immediately, so I gritted my teeth and gave it to me!"
"Friends, you should all know that our village now has textile factories, brick kiln factories, farms, and construction sites, but the only thing that really makes money is only one textile factory, and everything else costs money!"
"In addition, factories and construction sites manage two meals every day, and you also have to pay everyone a wage. How much is this expense? You can calculate it yourself!"
"Tell you the truth. Our textile factory has indeed made some money, but this money is basically enough for all the expenses, and I can't give it to the bandits at all!"
"I raise the monthly money for the first time and give it to the bandits!"
"The bandits' appetite will never be filled! This month costs 200 taels, so what about next month? It may be 400 taels! It may be 500 taels!"
"One day, I will definitely not be able to come out!"
"With the style of bandits, they will definitely kill people to establish their authority at that time!"
Speaking of this, Lin Xu paused for a while before continuing: "So, for everyone's safety, after discussing with the village chief, Yang Min and others, I had to make a heartbreaking decision!"
"That is, from tomorrow, all construction sites will be temporarily suspended!"
"As for the time to reopen, it depends on when the gangsters can be resolved!"
"If anyone is worried about safety issues, he can temporarily leave the village during this period..." This chapter has been completed!
