reborn son

Chapter 308 Rectification
"Since it's a death contract, how much money are you prepared to redeem yourself?" Li Dongyang asked curiously.

"Well, they shouldn't be able to spend much money." Ruan Zhong explained in a low voice, "These people's wages in the theater are [-] yuan a month, and the maximum is [-] yuan a year. Excluding miscellaneous expenses such as buying clothes and shoes, really There is no money left."

When Li Dongyang heard that these people only had 50 Wen a month, he suddenly felt thunderous. This is a serious squeeze on hard-earned money. Fifty Wen is equivalent to [-] Yuan in his previous life.

In this era, fifty coins means buying fifty meat buns. If you are sick, you need two medicines. If you are seriously ill, even one medicine is not enough.

After knowing the other party's income, Li Dongyang is looking forward to how much money these dozen people can spend to redeem themselves.

"The untouchable Wang Laoshuan, you can redeem yourself with 20 taels of silver, and ask the son of the world to show mercy and let the untouchable be free." The oldest old man said with a blushing face.

This is his life's property, and if he redeems himself, he will lose the capital of survival, but he really wants to be free, he wants to be a free body before he dies, and he doesn't want to be a slave for life.

Thinking of his future life, Wang Laoshuan's eyes turned red, but no matter what, as long as he had the chance, he would starve to death outside, since he didn't have many years to live anyway.

"Tell me your reason." Li Dongyang looked at Wang Laoshuan and became curious. This is an old man with a story.

Wang Laoshuan gritted his teeth and said his thoughts. This idea was shared by many people, so many people in the audience wiped their tears. Li Dongyang was speechless for a while.

Then let the dozen or so people express their opinions one by one, and the highest price was 80 taels, which was paid by a middle-aged man in his thirties. Li Dongyang made a calculation and gave Ruan Zhong a sideways look.

Ruan Zhong was also dumbfounded at the time, 80 taels of silver, how could this be possible, the middle-aged man Ruan Zhong remembered it clearly, he was the manager in charge of purchasing, and seeing that the other party offered 80 taels didn’t hurt his heart, he should have made a lot of money .

The least one was a young boy, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his bid was three taels of silver. This price caused many people to laugh, but his reason was that he wanted to study and take the imperial examination, so as to become a master.

Li Dongyang looked at this young man and sympathized with him, he was only two years younger than himself, and he was a high-ranking son, but this one had to spend all his wealth, which was three taels of silver, to fight for his future.

Of course, each of these dozens of people had their own reasons for redemption, but there were not many real reasons. Li Dongyang kept his word, and soon his teeth appeared.

Li Dongyang looked at the audience and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to leave?"

No one answered this time, and each of them lowered their heads and said nothing. Li Dongyang snorted and said:

"I'll give you one last chance. If you miss it, it will be forever. If you are loyal, you can live happily. If you dare to betray, hmph, there is only one dead end. I will give you three breaths to think about it."

As the sound of "[-]" fell, three more people walked out of the crowd, but none of the disguisers left. Li Dongyang smiled strangely after seeing it.

"Wang Laoshuan, don't say that I'm a cruel man. I will give you a chance to redeem yourself. And Mao Si, since you have a lofty goal, I will fulfill you. Let's do it in twos and twos. I'm not bad at that." money."

Li Dongyang looked at the old and the young and said, the two of them were overjoyed when they heard the words, they thought there was no hope for this matter, but they didn't expect that a turning point was just around the corner.

"Thank you, son, the untouchables will definitely offer you a longevity tablet at home." Wang Laoshuan burst into tears at the time, knelt on the ground and sang his head three times, and when he looked up, his forehead was red.

Oh my god, do you want to be so sincere, Li Dongyang feels pain for him who kowtowed.

Mao Si also knelt down and looked at Li Dongyang's eyes full of gratitude. He thought he would never have another chance, but he didn't expect a turnaround.

Originally he was a bought opera actor, but Mao Si beat him to death and refused to learn opera, even if it was Dao Yexiang, he would not open his mouth to sing, and secretly learned to read and write with the old boy who was in distress in the garden.

This dream was a secret between Mao Si and Lao Tong. After Lao Tong passed away, Mao Si never told anyone about it. Unexpectedly, the son was really willing to give him a way to survive.

Now the hearts of the people in the audience are not fair, and some people want to redeem themselves, but it is a pity that the opportunity is lost. Li Dongyang is a man who keeps his word. If he wants a better life, he must have the courage to fight. He doesn't even have the courage to stand up. Why should he help them.

As for the others, including the procurement manager who bid 50 taels, Li Dongyang gave Ren Yazi to him. He only helped those who deserved help, and he didn't help any of those who were full of ghosts.

At this moment, everyone can understand that this master is really not short of money, he really does things as he pleases, if he catches his eye, he can sell without money, but if he can't, it's useless to ask for his brain.

"Okay, don't make a sad face for me. Now I want to talk about your treatment. You used to be fifty cash, that's the past tense. Now it's the master, and the monthly salary is five hundred cash."

What?Those who were still wiping their tears stopped crying one after another, as if they were looking at a monster, they were indeed not short of money, if the monthly salary was five hundred, wouldn't it mean that they could earn six taels of silver a year.

Hehe, an ordinary farmer may not be able to save six taels of silver a year!
Ruan Zhong also watched Li Dongyang a few times, and wanted to remind this master that even though Baixiyuan is very famous, but it really doesn't make a lot of money. If you mention five hundred wen, you are destined to lose money.

After all, not every yard can make money, and not every day is full, and there are three hundred servants, and the monthly fee is 150 taels, not to mention the food.

In addition, the rouge and gouache used for singing have to be bought, and the costumes have to be bought. These are not blown by the strong wind, really not!
It's really hopeless for a layman to do things inside. Ruan Zhong closed his eyes, and he didn't dare to think about his future life. If Baixi Theater loses everything, will these old brothers still have a way out?
Li Dongyang doesn't care about these things, anyway, the monthly money has been raised, but it's not too much, the last little maid in Zhen Guogong's mansion pays back one tael of silver per month.

Now it seems that the identities of these actors are not as good as little maids!
Next, Li Dongyang did something that surprised everyone, which was to re-sign the contract of sale. Why?Ruan Zhong really couldn't figure it out.

But the faces of those who changed their faces turned green at the time. Once the deed of selling their lives was signed, they really became other people's slaves. Even if they left Baixiyuan and changed their identities in the future, it would be useless.

Being a fugitive slave is a capital crime, and getting caught is a dead end. These people are so entangled in their hearts.

Ruan Zhong didn't want to say anything anymore, anyway, he just needs to remain loyal now, and as long as he doesn't betray, he can treat himself badly with the generosity of the son.
