Chapter 75 Food and Floating Fees
This person obviously did not have the courage of Cang Chu. Xu You waited for ten breaths and did not dare to stand up and reply.
"If you have any opinions, just say it if you can't figure it out! Maybe I'm different from the Lord you followed before, and I never sinned because of saying something. That day, Cang was very disrespectful, but what was the result? Did he be punished? No!"
Xu You stood casually in front of everyone, his handsome side face shining brightly in the sun, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, saying, "If it is normal, before the order is issued, everyone is allowed to make suggestions, I will try my best to discuss with you. But after the order is issued, it must be implemented unconditionally. Those who have meritorious rewards, and those who have mistakes will be punished. It is not merciless!"
Although Cang Chu is a barbarian, he has been bathing in the Han wind for a long time and has gradually learned to figure out the feelings of the superiors. He held a joke at the right time and said in a deep voice: "What if there is an urgent matter?"
"In an emergency, orders are prohibited! No matter how you don't understand the order, you must first execute it and report it step by step afterwards." Xu You said seriously: "If the suggestions put forward are beneficial, you will be rewarded heavily. If it is your own opinion, you will not be punished!"
No one has ever heard of such a way of leading troops, nor has anyone seen it. Throughout history, when a soldier has been in war, he has been unable to survive and make a living, beating drums, and making a retreat. As for marching and setting up formations, sieging cities and territories, it is the affairs of the general and his staff. Who has ever seen a general discuss with the soldiers when he issued military orders?
Everyone's eyes were blank. Xu You didn't expect them to understand the profound meaning in an instant. The thousands of years of thinking patterns need to be slowly corrected.
He was not in a hurry. He was trapped in Qiantang anyway and had nowhere to go, so he had time!
Cang Chu turned his head, pointed at someone, and shouted: "Qi Huating!"
"promise!"
One of them stepped forward and walked out of the queue.
Xu You admitted that when he heard the name Liu Huating, he smiled without any fluctuations. Huating cranes are so evident that it is a masterpiece of eternal songs, but no one knows it? But the history of Chu State has changed. There is no Lu Ji, and Huating cranes are so jealous. It’s a pity that it’s a pity. When he saw people, he was shocked. Qi Huating sounded very poetic, but his appearance only describes one word: ugly!
I don’t know if it’s because of the beauty of Chu State. Since Xu You traveled through time, he rarely met people who were too ugly. Moreover, he has experienced the world and never judged people by his appearance, nor did he comment on external beauty and ugliness. Qi Huating was the first one.
Because it's so ugly!
The two eyes were small and long, but they were tightly closed together, sunken deep in the eye socket. The eyebrows were short and light, and there were nothing, like two maldeveloped soybeans chins into the tip of the eyebrows. The cheeks were still round, but suddenly closed at the cheek bones, and the chin was raised in a subtle arc, almost connected to the tip of the nose. At first glance, it looked like a ghost.
The light was not good that night. Xu You left the selection to He Ru and Zuo Qi in the past two days. He didn't pay much attention to it. He rode another ox cart today and communicated with Cang Chu many times along the way, but he ignored the ugly man like Qi Huating in the department.
"You spoke up just now?"
"I'm me!"
"But what are you dissatisfied with papermaking?"
Qi Huating knelt down, lying on his forehead, tremblingly, saying, "The villain doesn't dare! He just has never been used to taking a knife and a stick, afraid that he can't do paper-making job..."
Xu You said in a gentle voice: "Get up and talk! Don't be afraid, I have said it. If you have any opinions, it is not a sin to say them in advance!"
Qi Huating stood up, lowered his head, and did not dare to look directly at Xu You. Xu You saw that he was really nervous and smiled and said, "Are you from Lou County? Why did you give this name?"
"The villain is from Lou County and lives by Huating Valley, so his parents gave me a bad name."
Lou County is part of Kunshan in later generations. Huating is located in Lou County. Due to Lu Ji's lament before his death, Huating's name has been famous for thousands of years.
"Can you really hear Heming in Huating Valley?"
The second monk Qi Huating was confused and said, "I haven't heard it... However, there are so many deer in the valley, and you can hear the deer ringing."
The immortal deer is a sika deer, which was also called the Spotted Dragon in the ancients. Huating has many deer since ancient times, and it is known that nine out of ten deer turn around. It is not unusual to hear the sound of the deer.
But Huating has no cranes, so I always feel that something is missing!
"Seeing that you speak clearly and make clear, why did you sell yourself as a slave?"
Qi Huating looked ashamed and said, "Because he was ugly when he was young, he was careless by his clan members, and his relatives could hardly be involved in the clan. His father had no choice but to give me a slave to the gentry in Lou County. Later, he learned some superficial martial arts from a master, and was occasionally valued by Zhan's family and bought it to make a division."
It turned out that he was sold by his family because he was ugly. What else could Xu You say, and he said kindly: "A man values talent but not appearance. Yan Zi is less than six feet tall. He is famous for the Qi Kingdom and is famous for his princes. Wang Can is beautiful but weak, but he has become the crown of the seven sons of Jian'an. It can be seen that appearance is irrelevant to men. You practice martial arts hard and follow me to do your best. Sooner or later, you will return to the clan and return home in glory!"
Qi Huating bit his lower lip, almost bleeding, his eyes filled with tears, he bowed his head and knelt down and said, "I dare not die for you!"
"Get up! And you all remember that as Xu's subordinate, you must have pride and not kneel down at any time."
"promise!"
Everyone knelt down and agreed to the promise. Xu You smiled and knew that the new rules could not be established in one go. He said, "Huating, tell me, are you unwilling to do papermaking work?"
After the conversation just now, Qi Huating was no longer so afraid of Xu You, and plucked up his courage and said, "Report to Mr. Langjun, we are always responsible for guarding the family in the Zhan family and rarely do farm work and chores. I heard that papermaking requires skilled papermakers. Some people have made papers for several years and often make mistakes. We are afraid that we can't do it well, mislead things, and cause punishment from Mr. Langjun."
"That's all, there's no intention of being lazy?"
"Some, I am used to being lazy in normal times. If I work hard like a tenant, I will be resistant. Even if I force myself to do it, I will not do my best!"
Qi Huating completely let himself go, and did not hide anything from Xu You. There were two things to say, two things to say. There were friends with him in the department, and his eyes were full of worry, fearing that he would not speak carefully, which would anger Xu You and cause a murderous disaster.
Xu Shiranu is not a weak scholar who only talks!
"Okay, that's right!" Xu You clapped his hands, glanced over the crowd, and smiled, "What I want is to speak out for Wuji! Is what Qi Huating said also what you are saying in your heart?"
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Xu You. Xu You gradually restrained his smile and said, "I know, you actually look down on tenants who work in your heart. You have a knife in your hands, and always feel that they are better than those who hold farm tools. However, you should think about it, why would Zhan Hong rather give me your divisions, but not those tenants who you look down on?"
"The reason is very simple. Tenants can farm, raise poultry, weave cloth, and live in the world. No one can do without these things. And you are in the war between the north and the south, with few people and weak strength, and cannot withstand great use. At most, they can deal with some small thieves and thieves. But now, Jiangdong is in great governance, even if there are thieves and thieves, they will not dare to enter the city to do evil. It is better to live within your means and eliminate redundant food and floating expenses. This is the way to manage the family. And you are redundant food and floating expenses, so they were eliminated by Zhan Hong!"
It is advisable to live within your means and eliminate redundant food and floating expenses. This is the saying in "History of Ming Dynasty". Although it is not nice, it makes some people think in a blunt way. Xu You said again: "I am different from Zhan Hong. Although your force is useless to me for the time being, I will not sweep you out, but will find a way out for you so that you will not eat redundant food and spend floating expenses, which will become a burden to the master. To be honest, everyone has a price, including me. If you want to win a place, you must first let others see if you are worth the price!"
Price, that is, value, mortals, appearance, talent, family background and room for improvement determine the price of each person. Different prices and colors will lead to different classes.
"I understand!" Qi Huating clasped his hands tightly, showing a firm look, and said, "Not to mention making paper, even if you sweep the yard, you must never become a redundant food and floating fee for your husband."
Others also figured it out. Whoever has the higher price depends on who is more useful to the owner. At present, these parts are not as good as tenants who farm. If you want to make a living in Jingyuan, you must start with papermaking.
"We are willing to do it."
Everyone's voices were firm and powerful, and Xu You smiled and said, "Of course, the identity of your department will not change. There are examples for papermaking, and there are examples for the department. If you do well, you will also receive rewards!"
To make a big stick and give a sweet date is the only way to rule the imperial examination. When he heard that he had double-choice money, even the less willing person who answered just now immediately smiled and wanted to throw away the knife and run to pound the pulp.
Seeing that everyone's spirit was completely mobilized, not as great as before, Xu You asked Cang to divide the fifteen people into three teams, each team with a sergeant. The three sergeant leaders were one of the eight people who stood solemnly that night, and they realized the importance of obeying orders more than others, and naturally they would get rewards.
Next, he arranged night patrols and defense. Xu You did not intervene and left them to Director Cang to take charge, deliberately checking his abilities. When he returned to the room, Shanzong came out from somewhere, and handed his hands in his sleeves, saying, "Qilang has a good temper and explained to them that if he dared to question the order of the thief in this way, he would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish!"
Xu You smiled. How could he compare what he wanted to do with Pirate Ming? But he was too lazy to talk nonsense to Shanzong and said, "Is there no tail all the way?"
"No! The wind is calm!"
Shanzong was a moment later than Xu You and left the city, keeping a distance from the team for several miles, saying, "Even the two yellow-eared dogs were lazy in the city and did not follow us."
"The people from the Wohusi know that I'm here at the Paper Floor and have no interest. It's not their appetite to do business and make money!" Xu You joked and said, "Are you ready?"
Shanzong took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "You have to show up in public. By the way, how do you look at my current appearance?"
"It has become less eye-catching!" Xu You sincerely praised, saying, "Lu Shuang's technique is really amazing. She actually decorates you, a fierce thief, into the appearance of an ordinary person."
Shanzong changed his appearance from before. The two sword eyebrows that entered his temples turned into a curved moon, which immediately softened the outline of the whole face countless times. Perhaps the corners of his eyes were covered with shadows. His narrow eyes were no longer so unruly, but instead showed a bit of warmth. His long hair that was usually disguised was no longer unruly and was no longer unruly and unrestrained. He was tied into a bun in a regular manner, wearing the most popular thunderbolt hat nowadays. In addition, he deliberately took off the spirit of the world and was afraid of his hands and feet, which was no different from ordinary slaves.
Unless you know him well or meet an old friend of the pirate in person, it is difficult to distinguish the true face of Shanzong based on other people's oral narratives and portraits.
At this moment, Cang came in to report, and Xu You pointed to Shanzong lightly and said, "This is Jingzhe, my servant, you will be close to you in the future."
Suddenly there was one more person, and it was not strange to me. I just thought it was Xu You's confidant who had been in the Zhifang before, and clasped his fists at Shanzong and said, "I've seen the husband!"
Shanzong held his fists and returned the favor, smiled at the crow, expressing his kindness.
After reporting on the night patrol arrangements, Cang walked out of the room and thought to follow Xu You to do things. Although he was a little hard and tiring, for some reason, he felt sincere peace of mind and comfort.
It was late at night and the stream was gurgling in the distance. The paper workshop gradually became silent. The knife was held in the dark and five people walked through every corner of the paper workshop.
