Cannon Fodder Battle Chapter 1304: Sacrifice (16)
No matter what dynasty, there are always traps in the contract. When Tong Xinlan was a lawyer, many economic cases were related to the contract. In ancient times, it was easy to get a contract that made others think that she had taken advantage of it.
However, Tong Xinlan didn't mean to harm these villagers, but just asked the village chief who could represent them to agree to sign the contract, so as to promote future cooperation.
Anyway, the contracts for farming and helping labor have been signed. As long as they don’t go down the river or offend the river god, let the villagers do some side work to make the land better. Of course, they still have to pay for that kind of work. It's not a breach of contract either.
"If they ask questions, you can say commercial secrets. Anyway, we are not really here to grow food. At that time, because of the flood that has not subsided this time, you propose to regulate the banks of the Heihe River and tell them to work with them. It is more reasonable to use materials such as sediment, pounded lime and so on."
"Besides, we didn't talk about building embankments, dams and flood canals, but just maintaining the river sills next to our own land. There is no need to report this to the government."
"We don't really need the people to do anything, we just need them to prepare the materials. This project is a huge amount for them, because they are involved in it. Later, you use the magic to use these materials to build They will understand you and thank you more after you have built a water conservancy project that can help them resist floods.”
Although Jiaolong usually helps them control the water every few years, the common people don't know that Jiaolong has to spend a lot of cultivation, they only think that this kind of thing is as simple as breathing for the gods.
However, this is not the case.
Tong Xinlan also took the time to give Jiaolong an acting class, teaching him how to be a rich man.
Tong Xinlan's plan has always been closely linked, so she also understands that with Jiaolong's upright Chinese character face, the village chiefs will interpret the signals they need in different situations.
In the early stage, you will think that this is an honest and inexperienced young master brought up by a rich family.
In the later stage, after knowing what it has done for the villagers, you will feel that his face is very righteous.
Whether it is the early stage or the late stage, this face will make people feel "trustworthy".
Tong Xinlan and Jiaolong have been busy for a few days, and finally came the day of the banquet.
On this day, Tong Xinlan brought the prepared props, albums, and a contract with a carriage to the Zhenxie Pavilion in the county.
No matter what the year, there are always some places that will not be affected by the disaster of the low-level people. Even though it is only in the county, this Zhenxiu Pavilion can still be opened.
For the village chiefs along the Heihe River, many of them came to Zhenxiu Pavilion for the first time. Don't have enough money to come to Zhenxie Pavilion for a meal.
Tong Xinlan has occupied an elegant garden in Zhenxiu Pavilion, which has a tea room and a performance by the shadow puppet troupe invited by Tong Xinlan.
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and the villages were far apart, so it was naturally far to the county.
The time when the village chiefs arrive in the county is not uniform. Those who arrive first may be bored, and Tong Xinlan may also ask Jiaolong to entertain the village chiefs one by one. Such a forged identity does not need to receive people with the identity of the village chief one by one.
Therefore, the village chiefs who came first were provided with a place to rest, whether they wanted to listen to an opera, drink tea, enjoy flowers, or play with birds, they could all satisfy them.
When everyone is here, it is almost time to eat.
Seeing the village chiefs coming one by one, even though Jiaolong had met these village chiefs when Tong Xinlan went to deliver the invitation letter, but at that time he didn't need to play in person, and for a while, he could stay for everyone When everyone was assembled, it was his turn to entertain.
Recalling the expressions on the faces of villagers and village chiefs who hated him and flattered him when he explained that he was not the snake monster before, Jiaolong became uneasy.
The current village chiefs, although Jiaolong has not seen all of them when throwing sacrifices, but in its heart, these village chiefs are no different from those in the long-term memory.
Tong Xinlan saw the uneasiness in Jiaolong who kept walking back and forth, "My lord, don't be too nervous."
"I know, but, I'm still a little scared."
If these people who are in awe of the "Heihe River God" know that the river **** they are afraid of is so afraid of them in their hearts, they don't know what they will think.
Jiaolong doesn't know how to explain his feelings. It's not afraid of people. These people have no ability to hurt him. It's just that it doesn't like it. But it can't explain what's going on, so it can only complain, "Wow How come there are so many villages in the human kingdom? You have invited so many village chiefs, so you don’t have any senior officials? Just one or two can be arranged.”
Knowing that Jiaolong was not telling the truth, Tong Xinlan just wanted to relieve the tension in her heart by complaining.
"Village chiefs are elected by the villagers themselves. They are respected old people in the village. Strictly speaking, they are not officials. If you look for Lizheng County Magistrate or something, it will be very troublesome, and it may alarm the court. Moreover, What we want to mobilize are the villagers on both sides of the Heihe River, and the two sides do not belong to the same county. When the time comes, the intricate administrative relationship will be run down, and it may not be possible to get approval for a year or so~IndoMTL.com~ And we are just contracting For the land in the village, you can go directly to the village chief, you don’t need approval from the government or even the court, we just signed a contract in private and let an official be a witness.”
"That's why I had to invite so many village chiefs. If possible, I don't want to go to so many places to send invitations."
"Young Master, don't worry. After you take your seat, behave and speak as I taught you two days ago. They won't ask you too many things."
"Besides, when they are all here, it's almost time for lunch. At that time, let's treat them to dinner first, and then drink some wine. People, as long as they eat and drink happily, it's easy to talk about anything. For them, your terms are really no different from giving them money, and a fool would not agree."
"Let's talk for a while, if you really don't know how to deal with it, I will help you smooth things over."
Since she was set to play the role of the Jiao family, Tong Xinlan has called Jiaolong as the eldest son, but she is afraid that calling the king will be easy. If she makes a mistake in front of outsiders, won't she have to take pains to explain and cover it up?
Tong Xinlan corrected Jiaolong several times and asked her to call her Jiao En, but the child just couldn't remember, Tong Xinlan had to pay attention to it, after all, there was the village chief of Yuan Xinlan Village among the village chiefs .
"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door.
From the sound of footsteps, Tong Xinlan heard that it was a servant she bought, but she still asked, "Who?"
"Housekeeper Jiao, all the invitations have been collected, and the eldest son's guests are all here." The servant replied respectfully.
Tong Xinlan took a look at Jiaolong and replied, "I see, I'll greet the guests again, and I'll take the young master there right away."
