Chapter 386 How Can You Play It?

After hearing Xiao Hanzheng's explanation, each of these craftsmen showed a shocked look.

I didn't expect the deputy governor's wife to do such a thing.

Xiao Hanzheng still had a gentle smile, "I asked Deputy Governor Xiao to help hire some craftsmen to come to the county, and he offered to exchange his wife with you."

"I'm a very talented person, so I agreed."

When we talked about it, he was indeed the one who brought it up first, and wanted to ask the scumbag to help find some skilled craftsmen.

The scumbag's cronies hurriedly offered to exchange the craftsman for his wife, so he didn't lie.

Back then, the pit had already been dug, and the scumbag had to jump if he didn't.

It just so happened that the scumbag's cronies and followers are still here.

So he looked at the pro-letter: "In the beginning, did we talk like this?"

The cronies always felt that something was wrong, but it was true before.

So I can only bite the bullet and nod, "Yes, that's how we talked at the time."

The person next to him thought to himself, as expected of the eldest son, he had already figured out how to break the master's alienation scheme.

What surprised him was that Xiao Hanzheng had already made such preparations before negotiating for a replacement.

It's no wonder that the master and his wife have been slaughtered here by Xiao Hanzheng and his wife. How can they play such a powerful mental trick?

He looked at the craftsmen, and sure enough, none of them looked good.

Obviously, he complained in his heart that he was cheated, and because of his wife, the deputy governor abandoned them without hesitation.

It would be unhappy for anyone to replace it.

But at this stage, there is no way to save it.

So he looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said, "Eldest son, the person you want has already been delivered. When will you let your wife go?"

Xiao Hanzheng smiled, "Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to personally escort your wife back to Beicheng."

The follower did not think that Xiao Hanzheng's move was well-intentioned.

He sighed inwardly, "There's no need for this."

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "No, this is necessary."

"I want craftsmen. Deputy Governor Xiao personally picked them up and asked you to escort them to Heyang County."

"Since I want to exchange your wives, I naturally have to send someone to escort her back, so it's not rude."

"And if you don't escort her, what happened to her on the way, how can I explain it to your deputy governor?"

He said firmly: "I can't pay a lady to him."

On Xiao Hanzheng's site, what he can do with his own followers can only be agreed.

"Then trouble the eldest son."

The eldest son who hates his wife so much, would he really be so kind to be escorted?

I don't know what medicine is sold in this eldest son's gourd, I always feel that something is wrong.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and waved his hand, "Then you should go back to the inn to rest first. You can come to the entrance of the county government office in the morning and escort your wife back to Beicheng together."

"Then we will say goodbye!"

I originally wanted to hear what Xiao Hanzheng would say to the craftsmen, so I could report back to the master when I went back.

But the other party has ordered the expulsion, and he has no choice but to leave with the former cronie.

After the two left, Xiao Hanzheng looked at the craftsmen and their families present.

"Your contract of sale is now in my hands."

"As for me, I have only one request for you. Do things well and do not allow betrayal."

"I'll give you five years, as long as you work diligently to complete the tasks I assigned in these five years, and don't reveal any workshop's technology or betray."

"After five years, I will return you and the contract of sale with your family to you."

"Your descendants will no longer have to be slaves. If they can read, they can also take the imperial examinations, or take the money they have earned over the years to find a wealthy village and buy some land to settle down completely."

"It won't be resold or forwarded again."

The imperial court allowed the descendants of merchants and craftsmen to take the imperial examinations, but it did not allow the servants and their descendants to participate in the imperial examinations.

Xiao Hanzheng saw that these people's originally gloomy eyes showed light.

He added: "And those of you who performed well in the workshop, I can allow your descendants to study in the newly built school soon after the county government."

"Even if you don't participate in the imperial examinations in the future, after you get rid of your slave status, you can still find a stable and decent job and life, such as shopkeepers, accountants, etc., and it's easy."

Hearing this, the craftsmen present and their families were all shocked.

There is such a good thing.

Before, they still had a lot of resentment in their hearts, didn't hold much hope for the future, and felt even more confused.

But now it seems as if they were beaten with blood in an instant, especially the few old craftsmen, who want to burst into tears.

It was really helpless for them to sign the deed of prostitution back then, but it also caused their descendants to follow into slavery, thinking that this would be their regret for a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, the son of Deputy Governor Xiao would release their deed of prostitution and turn them into good people.

One of the old craftsmen couldn't hold back and said, "Is what the lord said true?"

Wouldn't it be to deceive them to work first?

Xiao Hanzheng smiled: "Of course it's true, I can sign a contract with you and record it in the county government documents."

"If I don't act as agreed, you can sue me."

that counts

It is to give these people a guarantee and promise that they can feel at ease.

Sure enough, these craftsmen were relieved when they heard this.

One by one, they saluted Xiao Hanzheng gratefully, "Thank you sir!"

Xiao Hanzheng still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a bit sharper, "I gave you the opportunity, I hope you cherish it yourself."

"If someone leaks out what you have done or the techniques you taught you, not only will you not be able to get out of slavery, but you will even be imprisoned if you find out."

"This will also be stated on the contract, and we must follow each other."

It is impossible to only give sweet dates, and a stick must be hung over these people's heads.

Betrayal, the descendants will not only continue to be slaves, but also go to jail, the price is not ordinary.

These people were stunned when they heard this, and it was not as easy as before.

But it is understandable, after all, which master would want to see the slave betray.

"Yes, we dare not betray the adults." They said in unison.

Being able to release slave status, so that future generations can go to school, is the driving force for them to work in the next five years.

They fought for the sake of future generations.

Now that the workshop has not yet opened, he sent the urgent items to the emperor to the capital, and it will take some time for the emperor to send rubber.

So Xiao Hanzheng asked the housekeeper to arrange for these people to live in first, and asked them to follow to renovate the courtyard behind the county government office.

Shi Qingluo delivered the last wave of rubber grass seedlings, taught the villagers how to plant them, and returned to the county seat.

The yard has not been repaired, and they still live in the inn.

After she took a bath, Xiao Hanzheng came back from the office.

He recounted what happened today.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Scum father is more efficient this time."

"Then I'll go to Beicheng with me tomorrow."
