Chapter 386

After hearing Xiao Hanzheng's explanation, these craftsmen showed a look of shock one by one.

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

Xiao Hanzheng still smiled gently, "I asked deputy governor Xiao to help hire some craftsmen to the county, and he offered to exchange his wife with you."

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

At the beginning of the discussion, he really put it forward first and wanted slag dad to help find some skilled craftsmen.

Father slag's confidant hurriedly proposed to change the craftsman for his wife, so he didn't lie.

At the beginning, the pit had been dug, and the slag father had to jump if he didn't jump.

It's just that father slag's confidants and followers are still here.

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

Confidants always feel something wrong, but it was before.

So I can only nod hard, "yes, that's what I talked about at that time."

The close follower next to him thought that he was worthy of being the eldest childe. He had already figured out how to crack the master's estrangement plan.

To his surprise, Xiao Hanzheng had made such preparations before negotiating a replacement.

It's no wonder that the master and his wife have been eaten by Xiao Hanzheng's husband and wife. How can they play with such powerful mental means?

He looked at the craftsmen, and sure enough, they didn't look very good.

Obviously, he complained that he had been cheated, and because his wife, the deputy governor, did not hesitate to abandon them.

It would upset everyone.

But at this point, you can't save it.

So he looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said, "eldest childe, the person you want has been sent. When did you release your wife?"

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

The follower didn't think Xiao Hanzheng's move was good intention.

He thought with a thump, "that's not necessary."

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "no, it's necessary."

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

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

"Besides, if there is something wrong with her on the way without escort, how can I tell your deputy governor?"

"I can't pay for a lady for him," he said with a tough attitude

In Xiao Hanzheng's territory, the only way to do it is to agree.

"Then trouble the eldest childe."

The eldest childe who hates his wife so much will be escorted so kindly?

I don't know what medicine the eldest childe sells in his gourd. I always feel something wrong.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and waved his hand. "Then go back to the Inn and have a rest. In the morning, you will come to the gate of the county government and escort your wife back to the north city."

"Then we'll leave!"

Kishi originally wanted to hear what Xiao Hanzheng would say with the craftsmen. If you go back, you can report it to the master.

But the other party ordered him to leave. He had no choice but to leave with the former confidant.

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

"Your deed of sale is now in my hand."

"As for me, I have only one requirement for you. Do well and don't allow betrayal."

"You will not betray me in five years, as long as you don't betray me."

"In five years, I will return you and the deed of sale with your family."

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

"It will not be resold or transferred again."

The imperial court allowed the descendants of merchants and craftsmen to participate in the imperial examination, but did not allow slaves with deeds of betrayal and their descendants to participate in the imperial examination.

Xiao Hanzheng saw the original dim eyes of these people shining.

He added: "and for those of you who perform well in the workshop, I can allow your descendants to study in the new school to be built by the county government in the near future."

"In the future, even if you don't take the imperial examination and get rid of slavery, you can find a stable and decent work and life, such as shopkeeper, cashier and so on."

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

There should be such a good thing.

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

But now it's like being beaten with chicken blood in an instant. Especially several old craftsmen want to burst into tears.

They had no choice but to sign the deed of betrayal, but they also made future generations follow into slavery. They thought it would be their lifelong regret.

I didn't expect that the son of deputy governor Xiao would release their deed of betrayal and turn them into good people.

One of the old craftsmen couldn't help but say, "what adults say is true?"

Didn't you trick them into working first?

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

"If I don't follow the agreement, you can sue me."

This can also be regarded as a reassuring guarantee and commitment for these people.

Sure enough, the craftsmen were relieved to hear this.

One by one, they saluted Xiao Hanzheng with gratitude, "thank you, sir!"

Xiao Hanzheng was still smiling, but his eyes were more sharp. "I gave you the opportunity. I hope you will cherish it."

"If someone later divulges what you are asked to do or the technology taught to you, he will not only be unable to get rid of slavery, but also go to jail after finding out."

"This will also be stated in the contract, and we should follow each other."

It's impossible to give only sweet dates, but also to hang a stick on these heads.

Betrayed, future generations 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 I can understand that after all, which master would want to see the slave betray.

"Yes, we dare not betray adults." They said together.

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

They fought for their offspring.

Now the workshop hasn't opened yet. The expedited parts he sent to the emperor will be sent to the capital. It will take some time for the emperor to send rubber.

So Xiao Hanzheng asked the housekeeper to arrange these people to stay first, and asked them to follow them to renovate and rebuild the yard behind the county government.

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

The yard hasn't been repaired yet. They still live in the inn.

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

He told us all about today.

Shi Qing smiled and said, "Dad slag is efficient this time."

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