Chapter 239 Kidnapping!

After returning from the back mountain, Jin Feng went to the textile factory.

Recently, I have devoted all my energy to the iron smelting workshop, and almost all the textile factory has been handed over to Tang Dongdong.

This time Liu Tie's robbery had the greatest impact on the textile factory, and Jin Feng must come and take a look.

As soon as I entered the door, I met Tang Dongdong.

"Brother Feng, where have you been? I searched for several laps but couldn't find you."

"I just went to the back mountain."

"I heard that Brother Tiezi encountered bandits, how about it?"

Tang Dongdong asked anxiously.

"Hu Zi's leg was broken by the bandits and stayed in the county for medical treatment, and the others were fine."

Jin Feng said: "But our cart and twine were robbed by bandits. I guess there is no way to go to the county government again. How long can the supplies on your side last?"

"If you produce normally, the geese in the warehouse will only last three days." Tang Dongdong replied.

Textile mills have been adding new spinning wheels continuously. Up to now, there have been more than 200 pieces. The combined number of textile workers, logistics workers, handymen and others has reached more than 500.

Women who can work in Xihewan and Guanjiawan basically work in textile factories.

There is a small path between the two villages, which was rarely walked before, and the weeds could cover the foot.

But now it is staggered by the Guanjiawan workers who come and go to get off work every day.

Every morning and evening, you can see groups of workers talking and laughing, passing by this path.

With so many workers, there are several trucks of textile raw materials needed every day.

"What about grain, how much reserves are there?"

"If you consume normally, the food is enough for two months."

"Are you counting the construction site and the brick kiln?"

“It’s all included.”

"That's good."

Jin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning that the bandits in Tieguanshan set up checkpoints in Tongshan, Jin Feng asked the delivery team to bring as much food as possible every time they came back.

This is also the reason why Ge Ma can only last for six days.

If you have food in your hands, you won’t feel panicked.

Two months were enough for him to deal with the bandits.

Jin Feng thought for a while and said, "You go back and tell everyone, don't rush home after dinner, I have something to say."

"What's the matter?" Tang Dongdong felt a bad premonition.

"From tomorrow, we will temporarily suspend work."

Jin Feng sighed.

Tang Dongdong is now in charge of the textile factory, so I should indeed tell her about the decision to stop work.

"Stop work?" Tang Dongdong was shocked: "Brother Feng, what did the bandits say? Have you put forward the conditions?"

"I have asked for it and I will pay a toll of 100 taels per month."

"One hundred taels..." Tang Dongdong said: "Although it's a lot, it won't stop work, right? And the bandits can find a way to talk about it."

With the current profits of the textile factory, one hundred taels per month can still be used.

"It's impossible to talk." Jin Feng shook his head.

"Why?" Tang Dongdong asked: "In the past, my father's business was stopped by bandits many times, and it was possible to negotiate."

"The bandits your father encountered were robbing the official road, and there were many people coming and going, and a fixed rule has been formed.

But the bandits in Tieguanshan are different. They only focus on us and will not be satisfied easily. When they first occupied Tongshan, they only demanded one tael of silver at a time. Later, they slowly increased to two taels, three taels, and five taels.

.

They have been testing our bottom line. This month, this month, he will raise it to 200 taels and 300 taels next month until we can't afford it."

"What are you going to do with Brother Feng?"

"I haven't thought of a good idea yet. Anyway, there are not many Gema in the warehouse. Let's stop work first."

Although Captain Zhang is from Qinghuai and retired from Tie Linjun, Jin Feng still dared not believe him completely.

The person sent by Qing Mulan to inquire about the news has not come back yet, and Jin Feng is too lazy to talk about Master Zhou to Tang Dongdong.

"Okay, I'll inform you."

Tang Dongdong said helplessly.

Breakfast and dinner are the most lively times in the textile factory canteen, because at this time, workers on the day shift and night shift gather here to have a meal.

That evening, the people on the day shift did not come home after dinner, and the people on the night shift did not go to work in the workshop.

The brick kiln and men on the construction site also stayed.

Because they all received a notice, Jin Feng had something to announce.

"Last time we gathered, we sent soap, we were going to send something again this time, right?"

"I heard from Sister Yunfang that Xiaorou has been making soap at home recently, and she has almost saved up a house, so she probably still has soap."

"My home is almost used up. I originally thought of finding Xiaorou to buy another one, but now I don't need it."

"You guys have less dreams. I asked Brother Feng. Brother Feng said that last time I gave you soap for everyone to experience it, and you have to buy it if you use it later."

"How much does it cost?"

"Two cents per dollar, twice as big as the one I sent last time."

"That's fine, it's not expensive. My daily wage is enough."

"If you don't send anything, why did Brother Feng ask us to gather together?"

"Stop talking, stand up quickly, Brother Feng is here."

When the women saw Jin Feng and Tang Dongdong coming in through the gate, they all consciously stood in line with the workshop and team.

The male workers were scolded by Jin Feng last time for standing in the team. This time they also gained a memory and moved faster than the female workers. When Jin Feng got on the bench, they were already standing neatly.

Unfortunately, what disappointed them was that Jin Feng did not praise them, as if he had not seen their performance...

Jin Feng cleared his throat and the cafeteria immediately calmed down.

Everyone looked at Jin Feng with anticipation.

They thought the factory was going to send something again.

But the next second, what Jin Feng said made everyone feel cold.

"I'm very unfortunate to tell you a bad news,"

Jin Feng said slowly: "From tomorrow, textile factories, kiln factories, and construction sites will be temporarily suspended, so everyone will not use them for now."

After all, they are a group of rural husbands and women. Although they have changed a lot recently, there are still a few people who whisper to each other below.

But as Jin Feng finished speaking, the canteen became a slightest.

Then, it was frying the pan as if pouring a bowl of water into a hot oil pan.

"Brother Feng, isn't this doing a good job? Why should we stop work?"

"Our family has just had enough food, and we are going hungry again after work is shut down."

"Yes, Brother Feng, you can pity us, don't drive us away!"

"Sangouzi, I told you in the afternoon that Brother Feng and the village chief are both on the construction site. I told you not to be lazy and go shit after getting off work. You have to go, now, it must be Brother Feng.

My son is angry and wants to drive us all away!”

"I'm not lazy, I really can't get off work... Brother Feng, I was wrong, just give me another chance!"

Even if the villagers are illiterate and have never seen any world, they can see that Xihewan is now like this and their lives will get better and better in the future.

Everyone feels that life has a future.
