Ye An was a little silent. In fact, a servant who reached the status of the Wang Gang was already quite outstanding, and a good life was waiting for him.
If he could beg Wang Hao to arrange a marriage for him, and given his current status and the birth of a child from the Wang family, the woman would be good, at least she would be a good person!
From now on, as long as you are "loyal" to the Wang family wholeheartedly, even if you step into the ranks of being exploited by the big family, regardless of being exploited, your life will still be much better than that of ordinary people.
If the family is regarded as a company, the Wang Gang has stepped into the management of this company. Although he is still a servant in front of the master, what he said will be used as a reference by the master, and he has a higher status than ordinary servants. many.
There is also a contract between the family's son and the master's family. After the validity period of the contract expires, or after the two parties reach a reconciliation, the Wang Gang will change from a servant of the family's son to an innocent good man. Why do you want Ye An to do anything? ?
Of course, Wang Hao didn't mind giving Ye An this favor, and he had never considered the Wang Gang's thoughts, nor his future. Even if the servants took advantage of him, they were just servants in the end.
Wang Hao did not feel it was a pity. Nothing was worth mentioning in the face of interests, especially for an existence like the Wang family, which has a huge system and requires a lot of money to maintain the family. The family's expenses in Tokyo City are not small. If you want to keep your family The younger generation can't study comfortably without certain financial resources, and they can't even afford a decent husband.
The Wang Gang had no choice. After Wang Hao gave his contract to Ye An, he became Ye An's servant. Even if he was unwilling in every possible way, he had to wait until the contract expired, but he couldn't tell the pain. , his contract with the Wang family is still ten years long!
The Wang Gang, filled with grief and anger, crouched dejectedly in the corner, looking at the Wang family's house with eyes full of longing. Ever since he was given to Ye An, this familiar and familiar house in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Similarly, Ye An was also uncomfortable, because after giving someone freedom, he still chose to sign a contract with himself. He could completely throw himself away and walk away. Even if he tore up the contract, he would not say a word. .
But the Wang Gang did not do this. He has been in charge of the Wang family for many years. He knows the rules of this world very well, so even if he leaves the Wang family, he can only become Ye An's steward. He is the person Wang Hao gave to Ye An. ………………
In order for Ye An to "take root and sprout" in the Song Dynasty, he needed a well-organized person, and Ye An had been looking for this person for a long time.
Of course, Ye An would not treat the Wang Gang as servants, because in his eyes, everyone is the same. At most, he would be treated as a hired subordinate, housekeeper, or housekeeper.
So a brand new contract was handed over to Gang Wang. In case he didn't understand, Ye An also explained in detail: "Brother Wang, now you can become the steward of my Ye family. This is a contract I drafted for you." Read it first, lest you don’t understand my habits.”
Wang Gang looked at the shriveled handwriting in his hand and was surprised to find that what Ye An gave him was not just a contract, but a detailed booklet.
There is a lot of content in the booklet, and every item that comes to mind can be listed out. He is also a manager here at Ye An, and he mainly handles daily chores. As for the business, he does not have to be responsible.
But looking at it, the Wang Gang felt that Ye An was a bit "stupid". He was so stupid that he doubted whether he should go back and beg the high officials to accept him again, but he was also stupid enough that he began to be tempted.
"Brother Ye, the wages here are paid monthly?"
Ye An nodded: "I can't stand it, it will be settled every month!"
"I only need to work as a steward here for two years and then I can leave?"
"You can come and go freely after two years!"
"You don't usually need a daily servant?"
"Isn't it written that three days of leave are given every month?"
In Ye An's view, the contract that had squeezed out the value of the Wang Gang's labor was, in the eyes of the Wang Gang, a "welfare plan."
This person has been oppressed for a long time and has become accustomed to it, and servility will naturally develop in him. Ye An has seen this too much in Zhuangzi.
The Wang family, which has mastered the means of production, almost rules the village. The land belongs to the Wang family, the farm tools belong to the Wang family, and even the grain belongs to the Wang family. Does it still make sense to talk about contracts and employment systems at this time?
It was unequal from the beginning. If the farmer dared to stand up and say, "I am a free man, I can come and leave as I please." He would definitely be beaten to death by his family and sent to the Wang family for punishment.
Because these people are fucking proletarians, and they cannot live without the bourgeoisie of the Wang family!!
Ye An clearly realized this. Although the Song Dynasty eliminated untouchables such as "servant households", "fan households" and "miscellaneous households" left over from the Tang Dynasty, in fact it only turned everyone into
They have just become "customers", and these "customers" also include the original civilian households, who are still "untouchables" in Wang Daguanren's place.
In Ye An's view, the Wang Gang has a servile mentality that has been oppressed for a long time. Now he has fully accepted his contract and is even a little happy.
Because the money Ye An gave seems to be a lot, eight hundred cents a month, including food and accommodation. After working for two years, he can open his own business and start a small business in Yangcheng County or return to Wangjiazhuang to buy something.
With a little land, he could become an ordinary household, and he could even ask for a job from the Wang family.
As for Ye An saying that wages would be increased, Wang Bangquan pretended not to have heard, and he still wanted to increase wages? As long as they don't default on their wages, that's great!
The onlooking dealers had already dispersed, and they all knew that the originally “promising” steward of Wangjiazhuang had suffered a setback.
After seeing the joke, they left naturally, and some felt pity. As they walked, they lamented the bad luck of the Wang Gang, and were attracted by Ye An...
Ye An had no choice but to spit at the backs of those people. At some point Niu Er appeared on the side and said sourly: "I only have 500 coins a month, and you have three dollars more than me."
You should be content with a hundred articles!"
Looking Tie Er up and down, the innocent smile made Wang Bang extremely irritated. Only now did he remember that Ye An, the head of the family, had a strange combination. A master of Mr. Guanmiao, a servant like Tie Er, and a fifteen-sixteen-year-old
The young man who is 20 years old has now added himself, and there is no one else besides him.
I heard from senior officials that this Ye An was also a descendant of everyone, so why did he look like this? He was probably in ruins.
He shook his head and stepped forward: "Master, where are we staying now?"
Ye An pointed to the big granary in Wangjiazhuang and said: "Of course I live in the small courtyard of the granary! I have food at home, so don't panic!"
After saying this, Ye An fell silent. Also silent were Wang Bang and Tie Er. They all knew that Yangcheng County, not far away, was already shrouded in hunger.
People die of hunger every day, and they are even willing to eat large amounts of "Guanyin soil" to survive. Ye An knows that this thing has another name: bentonite, which is clay...
