Chapter 16: Die
"Young master! Young master!"
"Uncle Heifu and the others are crazy. They brought a lot of half-grown boys here, trying to make Zhuangzi poor!"
Early in the morning, Zhao Lang was woken up by Wangcai.
Uncle Fu had to take care of Zhuangzi's up and down affairs, so he couldn't follow him all the time.
So Wangcai became his attendant.
Only then did Zhao Lang lazily get up from the bed.
Xiao Jiu and Xiao Qi in the room began to help him dress and wash.
"Well, I'm really not a strong-willed person."
Zhao Lang originally thought he could resist the temptation, facing Xiao Jiu and Xiao Qi's service, at the beginning, he even declined twice.
It's good now, just put your clothes on, stretch out your hands, and open your mouth.
It is really easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
"Fallen!"
Zhao Lang severely criticized himself in his heart, and made up his mind that starting tomorrow, he will be independent and strive for self-improvement!
Adhere to go to bed early and get up early, work hard!
"Young Master, Uncle Heifu and the others brought a lot of half-grown boys to Zhuangzi."
As soon as Wangcai came in, he said loudly.
Zhao Lang showed a smile, Heifu and the others moved quite quickly.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Soon after grooming, Zhao Lang brought people to Heifu's small yard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw more than 20 half-year-old children squatting in the yard.
One of the boys with an exceptionally strong body knelt in the middle of the yard with his head bowed.
At this moment, Hei Fu's face was flushed red, and he was sternly reprimanding the other party.
"You bastards! You were brought to Zhuangzi, and you did such a shameful thing to me!"
"If the cook hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you guys would dare to steal food!"
"Go to hell! You..."
Zhao Lang already roughly understood what was going on.
When he heard Hei Fu start to curse, he quickly said,
"Uncle Heifu! We're here."
Zhao Lang knew that even though he didn't say anything about such a big boy, he actually cared about saving face the most.
This kind of public insult is the most self-respecting.
"Young master, you are here."
Heifu and the others hurriedly saluted, and said to the others,
"Don't ask the young master yet!"
Suddenly, a group of boys timidly said,
"Say hello, son."
Only the boy kneeling in the middle remained silent.
Hef suddenly lost his temper.
"Go to hell!"
Seeing that Heifu wanted to scold him, Zhao Lang interrupted him and said,
"Hey! Uncle Heifu, these children are all mine."
"Today we first set a rule. If you make a mistake, you can be punished, but insults are not allowed."
When Zhao Lang spoke, Heifu and the others naturally didn't dare not listen.
But Hef quickly said,
"Young Master, go to hell, this kid has a stubborn nature and has caused trouble for Young Master."
Zhao Lang frowned slightly,
"Uncle Heifu, why are you still scolding?"
Heifu froze for a moment, pointed to the boy kneeling in the middle of the yard, and said,
"Young master, this kid is called to die."
"The family members were afraid that the child would be difficult to support, so they chose this name."
Zhao Lang can only say that the world is so big that there are no surprises.
Think about Huo Qubing's name, and it's probably the same.
Looking at the other boys, he asked,
"What are their names?"
Hef immediately began to introduce,
"The short one is called Dagou, the smiling one is Erhei, the thinner one is called Amao, and..."
Hearing these plain names, Zhao Lang could only remain silent.
Fine.
"These are Uncle Heifu's children?"
Hef returns,
"Not all of them. There are also boys from the same village. I heard that I want to bring people to Zhuangzi, so I asked me to bring them here for you to see."
Zhao Lang nodded,
"Okay, I want all of them, and the treatment will be given to ordinary servants in Zhuangzi."
Hef froze for a moment,
"Young master, you mean, return the money?"
Zhao Lang nodded and said,
"I know that these boys are now the laborers of the family. The salary is a little less, but it will increase every year."
In this era, one is already an adult at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and one is considered to have lived a long life if one lives to sixty.
Just look at Heifu and the others, with their old faces, the first time Zhao Lang saw them, he thought they were all in their fifties or sixties, but in fact they were only in their forties.
At this moment, Heifu hurriedly explained,
"That's not what I mean, young master, it's already a great kindness for you to give me enough food."
Children of this age have a bottomless stomach that cannot be filled at all, and they only have so much effort to work.
Half a child, eating poor old man, that's how the saying came about.
If you give them food, you can direct these children to work at will?
Zhao Lang shook his head involuntarily. In his previous life, the most ruthless capitalists would not have dared to do this.
"That's how the treatment is set."
Then he said to Wangcai next to him,
"Go and talk to Uncle Fu and invite a gentleman for Zhuangzi. These children can't be abandoned."
He wants to train the ideal guard, so what if he can't read?
"Please sir?"
The eyes of Heifu on the side turned red instantly, and he said loudly,
"Young master, my black husband can make decisions for these brats today, and I will be Zhuangzi's man for the rest of my life!"
Then he said to all the boys,
"Boys, your luck has arrived! When you meet Young Master, you all kneel down and call him Patriarch!"
The boys are all ignorant, they don't know the difference between being called son and patriarch.
In their eyes, Heifu is the most authoritative person, and now he wants to call himself the Patriarch, then he must be right.
Then they knelt down one by one, and cried,
"Master."
Only to die without shouting.
"Go to hell, what are you still dawdling about?"
Hef urged.
Give the money, and return it to the gentleman. This kind of treatment is not given to the sons of ordinary small landlords.
Therefore, without asking, he made decisions for everyone.
Qusi raised his head at this time, his small face was full of stubbornness, and said,
"Do you care if you are full? Just call me."
When Zhao Lang saw this scene, he was a little stunned at first, but when he heard the words of going to die, he smiled and said,
"Take care of your fullness, everyone will take care of your fullness, but let me make it clear first, it will be very hard on Zhuangzi."
None of his training items were easy.
Go to hell with a bright eye, back,
"We are not afraid of suffering, but we are afraid of not being full!"
Zhao Lang said with a smile,
"Wangcai, go and ask the kitchen to make some more food and send it over."
At this word, all the boys cheered,
"Thank you Patriarch!"
The small yard instantly turned into a sea of laughter.
"Uncle Hei Fu, let them have a good rest for the next two days."
Zhao Lang said.
The training venue hasn't been set up yet, and these boys have just come here.
Don't be too anxious, these things will not be successful overnight.
Hef nodded,
"Young master, please rest assured, I will be optimistic about them."
Zhao Lang was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked,
"Uncle Heifu, are there only boys in the village? I haven't seen any girls."
Heifu was stunned again, and after a while, he said,
"My lord, do you want a girl too?"
Zhao Lang laughed and said,
"If you want it, you want it!"
"And they are all treated the same!"
This time, Hei Fu's eyes were completely red, and he took his brothers and went out.
"Young master, don't worry, I will bring people back before dark!"
