About two days ago, the tribunal received a report that the serfs in a farm had worked for the owner of the farm for fourteen days this month, but only ten days were reported by the owner to the double holiday for future compensation and compensation.
prepare for.
Not only that, because they were always working for the farm owners, the serfs had no time to harvest the crops in their own fields.
The tribunal attached great importance to this situation. After receiving the report, it immediately dispatched personnel to investigate. Now it has been verified that it is indeed the case, so now Jin Tong and a colleague went to deal with it.
As soon as they arrived outside the farm, they were discovered by the militia there and reported to the housekeeper of the farm, who was quickly greeted by the slightly fat housekeeper.
"The weather is hot. Please, the two referees, please come in and have a bowl of carrot water."
The young referee Marco next to Jin Tong, who just joined the tribunal last month, said directly, "Are you the manager here? We have received reports that there are forced and unpaid overtime in this farm, so there is no need to drink the carrot water.
, please come with us."
The fat butler's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he called Qu Dao, "We have always strictly abided by the precept of double holidays like other farms. There is no compulsory overtime or unpaid overtime."
"Stop quibbling, we've already found out." Although Marco was a little disdainful of the Fat Controller's poor acting skills, he still strictly followed the rules and negotiated with the other party first.
"We have investigated and found that your serfs have worked for fourteen days this month, but you only reported ten days, and you did not follow the regulations and let them go back for four days every three days to harvest their own crops."
"You two can't be deceived by those serfs. I detained them for a reason." The fat steward said, "Those cunning guys are serious and careful when harvesting their fields, but once
When working on the farm, everyone only knows how to cheat and cheat, and does the job in a perfunctory manner.
"You haven't seen the fields they harvested. Oh my, it's really impossible to see. The good crops were just wasted by them. They didn't even waste much of what they harvested.
"In the past, the supervisors would beat and scold them when encountering this situation. Those guys would be afraid and would work hard. But now everyone believes in Saturday. Our Lord is kind and does not want to see the people below suffer. But those lazy guys, you can't
If you beat them, they won't give you a good job.
"It's really a pile of mud. It makes people angry just to mention it. It's rare to catch a good harvest, but we can't let them hold us back. I am also a believer in the Shuangqiu Church. Of course I will not violate the precepts of the church, and I will definitely not
Doing unconscionable bad things like working overtime for free will be punished by God.
"I reported the ten days truthfully and didn't hide anything. As for the extra four days, it was punishment. It was punishment because they didn't work well, so the farm punished them and asked them to make up for what they didn't do well.
return.
"To be honest, we don't want to detain them. If we detain them, I have to arrange more manpower to supervise them. In this way, no one can rest. Who doesn't want to get things done beautifully? They are really too lazy.
Oh! It’s really not our fault.”
The young referee was a little unsure about what he said, and it seemed to make sense.
So he turned his eyes to his colleagues for help, and saw that the man with golden eyes was looking at the wheat fields in the distance leisurely, looking a little distracted.
"Gerald." Marco called his Christian name.
"Huh?" Jin Tong retracted his gaze and looked at the fat butler in front of him, "Haven't you arrested him yet?"
Marco was a little dissatisfied with Jin Tong's undisciplined demeanor, but he also knew that Jin Tong was relatively lonely even in the tribunal, which was known for being weird.
He barely had the words "Don't bother me" on his face, and I didn't see him getting close to anyone on weekdays.
But in front of outsiders, the tribunal still had to show unity, so Marco suppressed his dissatisfaction and explained,
"This person just now..."
"Barnes." The fat butler introduced himself.
"The Butler of Barnes said..."
"I heard what he said." Jin Tong interrupted Marco, "What do you want to say?"
Marco took a deep breath, "I think we should investigate this matter again. If those serfs are really passive and sabotaging their work..."
"This is simple." Jin Tong said. After speaking, he turned to look at Barnes and pointed to the wheat field in the distance with his riding crop.
"Is this your farm land?"
Barnes nodded.
"Find your steward a sickle." Jin Tong said to a supervisor in the farm, "Let him harvest the crops with the serfs. From now until the sun sets, there is still half a day. We will supervise together here. Let's see. Let’s see who cuts the most in the end.”
When Barnes heard this, his expression changed drastically, "Mr. Referee, this is not fair. I don't know how to cut wheat at all!"
"It doesn't matter. I'll give you some time. You can learn it now. It's not difficult. And considering that you are a beginner, I will give you double the wheat you cut. From now on, the serfs in your farm will be This is the workload." Jin Tong said lazily.
Barnes was anxious, "No, this...how can this be possible? I, I, I can't do such a cheap job.
"Although there are differences in talent, there is no distinction between high and low in labor." Marco said seriously, "This is what the prophet said."
"Do you know whose farm this is?"
"Of course, we found out before we came here that it belongs to Sir Thomas."
"Sir Thomas is the captain of the guard in front of Lady Ilea, and one of the most trusted people by Lady Ilea." Barnes emphasized.
"We know that we will also invite him later." Marco said, "If he knows about this matter, it will be a violation of the sacred oath he made to our Lord."
"According to the precepts of double break, you will also be punished accordingly."
Barnes was speechless.
Jin Tong patted his shoulder and said, "Director Barnes, you only have half a day. Every time you delay here, you will have to cut less wheat.
"Whether your master's farm will have a good harvest this year depends entirely on your performance next time. You have to work harder and not be outdone by those lazy guys."
Although the fat butler worked very hard, he obviously underestimated the hardship of harvesting wheat, and in the end he was not able to complete even a quarter of the work of the serfs.
Even if Jin Tong helped him double the score, he was still far from reaching the passing mark.
Marco is now full of admiration for his colleague who seems to be difficult to get along with, and said excitedly.
"Gerard, you are so awesome, how did you come up with such a brilliant idea, so that Barnes' lies are immediately exposed!"
"It's nothing," Jin Tong still looked careless, "and the fat man didn't completely lie. Those serfs definitely didn't work as hard as they did for their own family when they worked for the farm."
Seeing that some people still have questions, I will go over Li Yu's selection logic again.
Li Yu chose Ma Yuhan between Liu Yuchen and Ma Yuhan, because although Liu Yuchen was more capable, it seemed that he would not be willing to just work behind the scenes to reconcile the salary. Later, he made a deal with the head office at the expense of taking Hao Xiaoxiao, and recruited more people.
Two people.
Hao Xiaoxiao had to accept it because it was a condition. Then Li Yu chose Zhang Hai. As mentioned before, because Zhang Hai is a countermeasure card and has miraculous effects, but when there are few people, you can't expect him to take the lead. He is too scientific.
When there were more people, Li Yu chose him for the last spot.
Of the remaining two, one performed poorly in the test and the other smoked in public. They both wrote down.
As for Hao Xiaoxiao, it was also written in the interrogation section that she was ordered to investigate the headquarters, but not for money... It is known that Hao Xiaoxiao has a stronger sense of justice, so it is not difficult to guess the person who instigated her. I didn’t want to spoil it before.
Yes, because it’s about to be written.
