Kang Yueran smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li has a sharp eye. There are indeed two thousand horses. My master wants to use the remaining one thousand, so I won't sell them." She planned to take them to the space mall to sell.
After discussing the business, Kang Yueran asked, "How is your young master doing recently?"
"The young master is very good. When he came to Anzhou to check on the business last month, he also visited the young lady's home. It's a pity that the young lady went to the capital."
"That's fine. I'll go see him when I'm free!"
"Young Master would be very happy if he knew!" The Wang family suffered a great disaster, but fortunately the young master was very talented, and the Wang family's cloth shop gradually got better.
By mid-July, the sweet potatoes were harvested everywhere. Xu Jiushi came to report the good news to Kang Yueran: most of the sweet potato fields had yielded over 2,000 catties per mu, and in Lijiaji Village, the yield had reached over 2,400 catties per mu.
The villagers of Lijiaji Village wanted to build a shrine for Kang Yueran, but Kang Yueran flatly refused.
It would be difficult to express the villagers' gratitude without expressing it, so the villagers came to Li Mao's house to discuss it.
"The boss won't allow us to build a shrine, so what can we give him? The boss has everything he needs."
"Even if the boss doesn't need it, we're giving it to him as a token of our appreciation."
Li Mao said, "I'm going to give three of mine to the big boss."
The clan elder was shocked, "What do you mean? You want Sangen to marry the eldest brother?"
Li Sangen's face suddenly turned red. "No, no, my father wants me to sign a death contract with the boss and work for him in the future."
The people of Dadong are good-looking and capable, which is something he can only dream of.
The elder pointed at his grandson and said, "Send this kid to the eldest master as well."
Following the boss, there will be no bad future. Look at Wang Hai, he is not even 20 years old yet and he is already in charge of such a big kiln. Everyone who sees him has to call him Manager Wang.
Many villagers were interested and pointed to their own sons, expressing their willingness to give them to Kang Yueran.
Li Mao asked everyone to be quiet. "Once you have signed a death contract with the boss, it has nothing to do with us. If you do something wrong, the boss will have the final say on whether to beat you to death or sell you off. You know, the boss will not tolerate any injustice."
Some people backed out, while others were still hesitant. The elders made the final decision and gave Li Sangen and his grandson Li Erbing to Kang Yueran.
The clan elder and Li Mao took Li Sangen and Li Erbing to Qingping Village together.
Kang Yueran listened to them and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Your life is getting better and better because you villagers are united. It has nothing to do with me. You don't have to be like this."
"Boss, we said we would give you two children to repay you, but in fact, it was also our selfish desire to give the two children a future."
The elders hurried to catch up, "We know the rules of the Great Boss. After signing the death contract, they will become the Great Boss's slaves and have no relationship with our family anymore. Whether they live or die, whether they are good or bad, it is all up to the Great Boss to decide."
Kang Yueran still shook his head. "Your life is getting better and better. There's no need to make them slaves. Besides, there are so many people in Qingping Village. I don't lack people to use."
Li Mao knelt down in front of Kang Yueran and said, "Boss, please accept them."
Kang Yueran stood up and went to pull Li Mao, "Get up, get up, what are you doing?"
Just as Li Mao was pulled up, Li Sangen and Li Erbing knelt down again, "Master, we can all read and write. We will work hard and will never have any other intentions."
"I'm not suspecting you of having ulterior motives, it's just that I really don't need you."
Just as he was trying to persuade them, Xu Jiushi arrived. After asking about the reason, Xu Jiushi persuaded Kang Yueran to accept the two men. "Sangen is rough but has finesse. Erbing has studied for a few years and can read and write. They are very useful to the boss family.
Besides, the clan elder and Li Zheng are sincere in their intentions, so the great master should just grant their blessing."
The elder nodded hurriedly, "Manager Xu is absolutely right. We are sincere, and so are the two children."
Kang Yueran was used to regular script, so she was a little confused by the small seal script. "Okay then! I'll let you go home and reunite for three days, and then come to my house after that.
Li Erbing, you will live in my house from now on and help Fu Mama take care of the household affairs for me.
Li Sangen, go to Jiguan Mountain and learn how to manage Coal Mountain with Lu Ming and Lu Li. The title deed to Shengzhou Luoyang Mountain has been delivered to me. When you have learned enough, go to Luoyang Mountain to work."
Xu Jiushi said, "I happen to be going to the Hucao Yamen to see Mr. Guo tomorrow, so I can handle the indenture contract as well."
After all, he couldn't accept two living people for nothing. "Manager Xu, give them both twenty taels of silver each."
Xu Jiushi said first: "Don't refuse, anyone who signs a death contract with the boss will receive 20 taels of silver, this is the rule!"
Li Mao cupped his hands and said, "Then we'll take it!" His family and the clan's old family were not short of the twenty taels of silver, and he didn't want to break the boss's rules.
After seeing off Li Mao and the other three, Xu Jiushi asked Kang Yueran, "Are you still sending apples to the guys for Mid-Autumn Festival this year?"
"No more apples. I've ordered a batch of coarse cloth and cotton from Wang's Cloth Shop. It should be delivered before the tenth day of the first lunar month. You can distribute it once it arrives. Each person will get one piece of coarse cloth and five pounds of cotton.
There are coal miners from several workshops, two kilns, and Jiguanshan, and the management pays double the salary."
Xu Jiushi gave a flattering smile, "Then I'll thank the boss on behalf of everyone."
"We need to separate the accounts and settle them clearly, and not mix them together again."
With more business, it is necessary to settle the accounts separately. "Okay, I will go and inform each manager. Everyone will be happy to hear it."
Her employees were paid thirteen times a year and only had three days off per month, which already displeased many business owners. Giving out holiday gifts would only make her even more resentful. However, someone should take the lead in raising concerns about the treatment of lower-level employees.
