Chapter 39: Yuzhou Laiqiang (Part 9) Knowledge changes destiny. ...
In fact, it is difficult to make friends with upright gentlemen in this world.
Having said that, after Zhang Deng entered the room, he was still shocked when he saw Dong Yu squatting on the ground and cutting a woman's toenails.
"Where is Lin Yuzhou?" Shi Hong asked while sitting aside.
Dong Yu said, "I don't know which room it is in."
"Come inside and play too," Shi Hong said. "There are fairies inside too. Don't you really like this?"
Dong Yuhao asked him: "I like this, okay? Is this yours?"
"I don't like women," Shi Hong said casually. "This is my store manager. He doesn't accept customers."
Dong Yu drooled as he looked at the woman's feet and said, "I like those who don't accept customers."
The woman was lying lazily on the sofa. The dark red pattern of the sofa made her skin look white. She was not very thin. The white flesh on her legs flowed under her skirt, dazzling people under the light of the ventriloquist lantern.
Zhang Deng said, "Didn't you say you were someone else's woman?"
"Yes, I am," the woman said. "I used to be someone else's woman."
Wei Yuanye said: "Before he died."
Zhang Deng realized that Wei Yuanye hated this woman.
The woman also disliked Wei Yuanye. She sneered and said, "Little brat."
"Seriously," Shi Hong sent for Lin Yuzhou, then said sternly, "With so many Qiang people, what are you going to do with them? Release them?"
Zhang Deng said, "It doesn't seem safe to release it."
"Yes," Shi Hong said, "the minute you release them, they'll be arrested. They have no way of protecting themselves in this world."
Wei Yuanye said, "I have a use for them."
Several people looked at Wei Yuanye, and even Zhang Deng didn't know what he wanted to do.
Night soon fell and the fog dissipated. It was a rare clear day and we could see the sparse stars in the sky. Several people set out together. Although we didn't know each other very well, there was no one who was difficult to get along with. Zhang Deng felt a little relieved.
We soon arrived at the agreed location and saw the huge carriage from a distance.
When Zhang Deng saw this car, he realized that this car was their home.
Zhang Hu came out and said, "Good brother, you're finally here!"
The stench that was unique to him hit him again. Zhang Deng held his breath. Wei Yuanye didn't say much and took out the large stack of money from his pocket. Zhang Hu smiled even more and said, "Come up and sit down, come up and sit down."
Wei Yuanye said, "No need."
"My brother doesn't care about all that red tape," Shi Hong said. "Hurry up, it's getting late."
"All right, all right," said Zhang Hu, "Come, this carriage is all yours now."
Zhang Deng didn't dare to look at the carriage, because he always felt that those rustling gazes seemed to fall on him again.
Wei Yuanye stepped forward and said, "Is that enough?"
"Two hundred and twenty-seven," Zhang Hu asked, "Can you count them?"
Wei Yuanye said, "Come down and order a little."
Zhang Hu clapped his hands, and Yuzhi got off the carriage and opened the door. The people inside came out one after another. These days, they looked no different except that they looked more tired.
Zhang Deng saw A Ping, and Fei Mao got out of the car behind him.
A Ping and Fei Mao looked calm, and there was no hatred in their eyes when they looked at him.
In fact, this is normal. For them, it doesn’t matter who they sell to.
Zhang Deng lowered his head.
Yu Zhi stepped forward and said to Wei Yuanye, "Master, would you like to count?"
"You belong to me too?" Wei Yuanye asked.
Zhang Hu said, "Of course, he is also a Qiang."
Wei Yuanye nodded: "Go ahead."
When counting, no one spoke except Yuzhi's voice. Under the cover of night, the only sounds were Yuzhi's light footsteps and the numbers coming out of his mouth one by one.
"Two hundred and twenty-six people in total," Yu Zhi said after a pause, "count me as two hundred and twenty-seven."
"Very good," Wei Yuanye said, "from now on you will be mine."
Those people looked at Wei Yuanye with silence in their eyes, and the underlying tone of that silence was despair.
"I don't have any plans tonight," Wei Yuanye said, "Let's wait until tomorrow. Let's eat a full meal tomorrow morning."
"Get in the car," Wei Yuanye waved, "disband."
Yuzhi asked, "Where are you going?"
Wei Yuanye called a few brothers to get on another carriage and said, "Follow us."
In the car, Dong Yu asked, "It's hard to support so many Qiang people. What are you going to do?"
Wei Yuanye asked, "Is anyone still worried about having nowhere to use it?"
"Indeed," Shi Hong said, "If people are only used for eating, it's a waste. If they are used for work, they can still create value."
Wei Yuanye said, "Is there a vacant house? Lend me one and I'll give you money."
"What's the point of talking about money?" Shi Hong said, "How big does it need to be? Just a few acres, a little smaller than my shop. The brothel there closed down, so it's been empty ever since."
Wei Yuanye: "Okay."
"But what are you going to do?"
"You'll find out tomorrow."
the next day.
The entire hall was in chaos, like boiling water.
A man frowned and pulled Dong Yu to his side: "What does self-help job selection mean?"
Dong Yu was thinking about the lawsuit. He pointed at the white paper and said, "These are the jobs listed above. You can choose any one."
Dong Yu: "You don't know how to read, but you don't know how to paint?"
There were pictures on the white paper showing jobs like "broom", "rickshaw", "dish washing", "food delivery", "freight transport", etc.
The man asked the last one, "What does this mean?"
"If you don't choose anything, you can go to school," Dong Yu said. "It takes at least three years to complete, and after you finish, you have to pay back the three-year loan, which is 40% of your salary."
man:"……"
"What nonsense," the man said, "I don't understand."
Dong Yu was furious: "If you don't understand, then go to hell! Go get used as a hot pot, do you understand?"
The man was startled, took the list, and went to choose in a cowardly manner.
Zhang Deng was also doing the consultation. He sat at a small table, his mouth dry as he spoke: "You want to be a cleaner? You have two options. Do you choose to be a live-in nanny or a cleaner at work?"
The woman said, "I don't know. I can do anything."
Zhang Deng looked at her confused and felt sorry for her. He said, "Auntie, you are no longer a human. You won't be killed. You can choose your own career."
"Oh," the woman said again, "where should I go then?"
Zhang Deng said, "You should go to the company. My friend's store is short of cleaners. The salary is 50 yuan a month, but you have a contract. For the first three years, you need to pay us 30% of your salary. After that, you don't need to. If you do a good job and another company wants you, you can switch jobs."
The woman said, "I don't really understand, but it's all right."
A man said from behind: "Where do I turn in the order?"
Zhang Deng turned around and said in surprise, "A Ping!"
Ah Ping scratched his head and said, "Is it okay to just press your fingerprints?"
"What did you choose?" Zhang Deng asked.
He took the list and saw that Aping had chosen to be a rickshaw driver.
Zhang Deng was a little disappointed. He asked, "Don't you want to study? We will provide you with food if you study."
"No," Ah Ping said, "it's useless."
Zhang Deng also knew that this was a matter of perspective. He couldn't expect Ah Ping to realize the importance of reading, but this was not bad at all. Zhang Deng said, "Then press it here. This ink pad will track your information and has legal effect."
Ah Ping didn't care. He pressed his fingerprints and returned it to him, saying, "Thank you."
Zhang Deng: “…”
Ah Ping added: "But you are really a bit stupid."
"Yeah," Zhang Deng agreed, "I'm really a little ridiculous."
"It's stupid," A Ping said, "but it's not funny."
Zhang Deng smiled, and A Ping said, "There are so many Qiang people in the world, it's meaningless for you to do this."
Zhang Deng said, "When I was a kid, I read a text called 'This Little Fish Cares.'"
"There's only wasted effort in the world," Zhang Deng said. "There's no such thing as a small fish that you don't care about."
Aping didn't understand all this, but Zhang Deng didn't want him to understand it either. Zhang Deng was just saying it to himself.
The operating logic of Wei Yuanye's talent market is perfect.
When he came here, he realized that the world was in great need of people. Many jobs that needed people to do had no one to do them, resulting in many monsters filling the gaps.
He had just over 200 men, more than enough to fill these positions. Each man's capital was only over 300, and his salary was about 50. With a 30% monthly commission, he could earn back all his income in 20 months. Furthermore, during these three years, as long as their bonds remained intact, no one would dare to attack these Qiang people, who had owners. Their safety was guaranteed, and after three years, they would be freed, with jobs of their own and able to support themselves.
Zhang Deng really admires Wei Yuanye!
The only problem was that they probably wouldn't be able to get their money back in this world. But neither of them really cared.
"Hey?" A familiar face walked in from outside. The man saw the light and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Deng asked, "Ah, Li Sen?"
"My store is short of staff," Li Sen said. "I heard there's a job market here. Let's see if there's anyone suitable."
Zhang Deng said, "Yes, yes."
Li Sen said, "I need to find someone who can read."
This was a bit difficult, but Zhang Deng saw a figure flash by, and Zhang Deng grabbed him and said, "This one knows how to read."
Yu Zhi: “?”
"What's up, Master?" Yuzhi was holding a list and asking people to fill it out one by one. He asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Deng said, "Don't do it anymore. Let Dong Yu do this job."
"Do you think this guy is okay?" Zhang Deng asked Li Sen. "He has many years of middle-level management experience, can read and drive, is hardworking, and most importantly, he's a human being."
Li Sen smiled: "You are quite good at salesmanship."
Yu Zhi was a little embarrassed and said, "Boss Shi told Master Wei that he wanted me to work as a cashier in his store."
"This is my man," Shi Hong approached cautiously, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Deng: "You clearly have a cashier in your store."
Shi Hong: "That's not enough. He works all year round. I'll find a replacement. He can come to my place and have holidays."
"Go up six and rest one, okay?" Shi Hong saw that Yu Zhi was in a dilemma and said, "Go up ten and rest two."
Zhang Deng, beat the gongs and drums, and said, "My family! This is the importance of studying. Who would choose to study? Scholars are in short supply nowadays. Three years of hard work will bring a lifetime of happiness!"
"Are you crazy?" Shi Hong pulled Yu Zhi over and said, "I don't care. Give it to me. I'll book it first."
Zhang Deng was about to say something else when Shi Hong said, "Otherwise, you'll have to pay my rent."
Zhang Deng: “…”
"Childish!" Zhang Deng cursed inwardly. He raised his hand weakly and said, "Actually, Li Xiao can read too."
"That's great," Zhang Deng said, "That's it."
Li Sen looked around their hall curiously and said, "It's quite lively."
"I heard you bought over 200 Qiang people," Li Sen said, "and you paid a high price for them."
"So that's what it's for," Li Sen said. "Those organizing the ceremony are so worried. Time is running out, and there are no Qiang people to offer sacrifices."
Zhang Deng pretended to be ignorant and said, "Oh!" "That's so embarrassing."
"What's the big deal?" Li Sen said casually. "They just plan to kill a few nobles."
Zhang Deng: “…”
"Don't you know?" Li Sen said, "Killing a few nobles with surnames is like killing a hundred Qiang people with surnames. So, it's more profitable for the nobles to die."
Zhang Deng's defense was broken, and he asked, "Does this sacrifice have to be performed?"
"Who wants to eat human flesh?" Zhang Deng asked. "Are you crazy?"
Li Sen was stunned for a moment, then said, "I heard that the gods love to eat human flesh."
