Chapter 17 This is a bit familiar
"I signed someone's body, but I can't sign someone's heart?"
"Even your family can't deprive you of the right to pursue a better life?"
He Jin's words were like an iron hammer, which hit Shen Xiu'er's heart: In her innate concept, the person who signed a death contract and sold himself as a slave had fallen into a lowly family for a lifetime.
Most of these people are confused, lazy and numb, so they should serve their family unconditionally and live their humiliating and humble life. Perhaps in the next life, they can become a good birth.
But today He Jin used the most realistic example to make her understand that slaves are human beings, and they also have thoughts and pursuits.
It is only because they fall into a lowly family and have no hope in life that they become confused, lazy and numb. Instead, they are such people.
After understanding these, Shen Xiuer still doesn't know He Jin's deep meaning: "He Guanren, you are so sincere in your money. Is it just to make them work harder? If it's just for this, it's just to use a few more people, why should you pay such a big price?"
"Because you have money, you have to make money, eating alone will not last long." He Jin looked at the fast-plated kang and replied casually: "We cannot do this kind of work without others."
"The secret can be kept with those contracts and the rules of the court. But this approach is tantamount to pile up soil and blocking water, and it will eventually flood and collapse."
"It is better to clear water than to control blockage. Only by allowing others to serve us sincerely can both sides win and benefit for a long time."
Hearing He Jin so relaxed and casually, he said such a heartwarming truth. Shen Xiuer really felt that she didn't know this person.
In her impression, He Jin was greedy and cunning. Although he had some good strategies, he acted like a little gangster. If he hadn't asked He Jin for help, she would have never interacted with such a person in her life.
Unexpectedly, such a person whom she still looked down upon in her heart was so kind and righteous. Although his behavior and thinking were different, it seemed to be in line with the saint's subtle words and righteousness.
However, just as Shen Xiuer was excited and wanted to discuss with He Jin again, she turned around and found that He Jin's attention was not on her at all.
At this moment, He Jin touched the newly-plastered kang, his eyes shining, and said excitedly to the two masons: "It's done, it's done, hurry up, please let me get some straw..."
Shen Xiu'er couldn't help but feel a strong resentment and anger in her heart. She really wanted to pry He Jin's mind open to see what he thought: I am such a delicate and beautiful woman, the daughter of a wealthy businessman who countless young handsome men in Cizhou want to marry. Isn't she as charm as two bricklayers and a cold kang?
But then she realized that the pit was not cold.
The son bricklayer went out without waiting for Shen Xiu'er's consent, and he brought a large handful of straw from somewhere. Under He Jin's instructions, the old bricklayer squatting on the stove began to light the fire.
In an instant, the orange-red flame illuminated the old bricklayer's dark face. No matter how stupid the two bricklayers were, they knew what they had done after working for a long time.
The old bricklayer was a little disbelief and excitedly reached out and touched the kang. After feeling the slightest heat that was beginning to spread, he exclaimed: "The little official is really a god. With this thing, it will be much better this winter!"
"It's okay..." He Jin also touched the kang, and said in a show-off manner, "It's just now that the fire has just started. After a long time in the future, the house will be as warm as spring. Only such days can be considered a winter day for cooking tea and enjoying snow."
But unexpectedly, after hearing this, the father and son's lips trembled slightly with excitement.
Suddenly, the old man pulled his son down and said loudly, "Little official, you shouldn't be there!... This kang is the craftsmanship of the royal family. You taught me this way. How can I bear your great kindness?"
The son was also a clever man, and he quickly patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, my father and son will not tell me this craft even if we beat him to death."
"Well, don't say it, just go out and do it." He Jin smiled and helped them up, saying, "Don't kowtow at any time. I'm young and can't stand the gifts of two of you. Teaching you this skill is to make money."
Who knew that He Jin would not say this? When he said this, the two of them became even more frightened. They knelt on the ground to death and couldn't get up. They kowtowed repeatedly, "What are the words of the little official!"
"Today, we are satisfied with the blessing of the young officials. How could we still use this skill that can be left to our descendants to pass on our family to make money? If that happens, God will kill us!"
He Jin suddenly looked depressed, thinking about the scene where he commanded his descendants and put on a fireworks for others in the future... Hey, it was a shame to the face of a time traveler!
"You two don't have to do this. This craft is a business we are discussing with the Shen family." As he said that, He Jin turned to Shen Xiu'er and asked, "I wonder if Miss Shen, do you agree to them make money with this?"
It was not until this time that Shen Xiuer thought she understood He Jin's intention: Benevolent and righteous, it is indeed not considered a matter of being. The reason why he did this was probably because he was afraid that this craft would be stolen and leaked out?
But at the same time, she had to admire He Jin's meticulousness, because she could also see how much money this craft has.
For such a benefit, a lowly person is definitely willing to sacrifice his life. Once this happens, even if the court rules punish those who leak secrets, what's the use of that time?
Thinking of this, Shen Xiuer nodded immediately and said, "Yes, this kang craft is a business that He Guanren cooperated with the Shen family. Since it is a business, you will naturally not be able to work in vain."
"The wages today are obviously not enough, but I can promise in the future that you can get 50 cents of wages for every kang you have."
After saying that, Shen Xiu'er gritted her teeth and continued: "If I do a good job, I can also consider allowing you to redeem your good family!"
As soon as he said this, the two masons burst into tears and kowtowed to Shen Xiuer and He Jin on the ground, promising: "Thank you Miss, thank you for your kindness, thank you for yourselves to give us a clear path. From now on, we will be a cow and a horse..."
He Jin heard this, but couldn't help but wave his hand: "You can all redeem good fortune in the future. You are so upright. Why do you want to be a cow or a horse? If you have money, you can make money. I'll just help each other in the future."
The father and son were stunned and didn't know what to say, so they could only kowtow again: "He Guanren is very kind and great, and we will work hard to serve. If there is anything to be sorry to He Guanren in the future, there will be thunder in the sky!"
After comforting her for a while, the father and son put away their tears and left with gratitude.
He Jin was left to sit on the warm pit, and then he couldn't help but smile and said to Shen Xiu'er who was still thinking deeply, "Miss Chen, now we are all left..."
Looking at He Jin's smirk, Shen Xiu'er couldn't help but be surprised: "What can we do?"
"Divid it..." He Jin's face changed immediately, and he said, "You don't think about removing the mill and killing the donkey, right?"
"Oh..." Shen Xiu'er then reacted and said, "The little woman has thought about this. Although He Guanren's craftsmanship is good, the materials, labor, and development merchants all need our Shen family to do it. In this way, how can the Shen family give He Guanren 30% of his share?"
"Thirty percent?" He Jin couldn't help but curl his lips and sneered at Shen Xiu'er, "Do you treat me like a fool? Since you dare to put on the kang in front of you, do you think I have no back-up? Or do you think that the Shen family can eat this business alone?"
Shen Xiu'er was also a little annoyed and said with a cold face: "He Guanren, this craft is indeed extraordinary. But as the little girl said, you just need to sit at home and wait for dividends, and all the matters are done by the Shen family. Are you not satisfied with taking 30% of your share in such a vain?"
He Jin couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that you really didn't understand the key points...Miss Chen, I'm helping you."
Xiao Yue'er, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but blink when she heard this: Why does this sound familiar?...Oh, by the way, when Guanren He was talking to Mr. Chen Ming, he always said this.
However, it seemed like Mr. Chen Ming was fooled by He Guanren.
