C34 The Farmers Went on Strike
Moreover, it seemed like this place was a land of good fortune. The growth of the herbs was delightful. No wonder the Lin family had always dominated this place.
A village also appeared at the front of the medicinal field. These people were all farmers in the medicinal field. However, there was no one managing the medicinal field at this moment, even though it was almost sunset.
However, it was not to the extent that there was no one managing it. Chu Tian felt that something might have happened, so he drove the carriage into the village.
At this time, there was an argument. A group of ordinary farmers were holding sticks in their hands. They and Aunt Tong's people were confronting each other. Both sides seemed to be ready to fight at any time.
"Aunt Tong, what happened?" Chu Tian asked.
Aunt Tong was shocked when she heard the voice. Then she saw Chu Tian.
"Young Master Chu Tian, we are trying to persuade these farmers to work, but they insist on not working." Aunt Tong said.
"Aunt Tong, could it be that you deducted their wages?" Chu Yunxue also stepped forward and said with a frown.
"Miss, how could I dare? I even gave them 30% more, but they refused to do it no matter what. We can't do anything about it." Aunt Tong sighed and said.
Chu Tian looked at the farmers and walked up to them.
"I wonder if you are dissatisfied with working for the Chu family?" Chu Tian asked.
"You are the steward, right? Then you have come at the right time. If you want us to work, we can, but the salary must be tripled. Now is the time to harvest the herbal field. If we don't start work, I'm afraid the herbal field will be abandoned. You can do whatever you want." An outdated man stood up and said.
It seemed like this man was the leader of this group of people.
"You're just starting the price on the spot, three times the salary. I think those herbal fields are going to lose money. " Aunt Tong said angrily. Things could not be done stably. On the contrary, Chu Tian had seen it. She was very angry in her heart.
"That's none of my business. If you want us to start work, you have to pay this price. I advise you not to use force to suppress us, even if you threaten us. We won't start work, and it's not easy to find experienced farmers. " The man sneered.
It seemed like the latter was prepared to take over the Chu family. He felt that the Chu family had no other choice but to pay them back.
"I understand what you're trying to say." Chu Tian said.
"Young master Chu Tian, if it was three times the salary, we would definitely lose money. This is absolutely unacceptable." Aunt Tong quickly said.
"Looks like there are still sensible people around. If it was like this earlier, wouldn't we have been able to start work a day earlier?" The man in the lead laughed complacently.
"You farmers, if there is anyone who is willing to stay and work for the Chu family... The Chu family will not treat them unfairly. If they are unwilling... The Chu family won't force you. You can leave this place now. " Chu Tian said.
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. No one had expected Chu Tian to make such a decision.
"Do you really understand? Managing the herbal field was not like farming. Not everyone could do it. Without us, these herbal fields would have been abandoned. " The man was also quite surprised, but then he reminded Chu Tian.
"Is managing the medicinal fields very impressive? Do you think you are qualified to be compared with me in terms of pharmacology knowledge? This is my decision and also the decision of the Chu family. If you want to stay, you can do whatever you want. " Chu Tian said.
"Hmph! You're so arrogant and conceited. Just wait and see. If you can't get the herbal field, even if you beg me, I won't come back." The man said angrily.
After that, he brought all the farmers and left. However, judging from the looks of these people, they weren't planning to leave the garden just like that. Instead, they were waiting for the people from the Chu family to be unable to settle the matter. Then, they would come and beg them to start work.
"Young master Chu Tian, is this really a good thing? Our Chu family doesn't have any talent who knows how to grow medicinal fields, and there are very few farmers. We don't have much time to train outsiders. I'm afraid it will be too late if we don't harvest these medicinal fields. " Aunt Tong said.
"Aunt Tong, I have my own ways. You should manage the affairs of the plantation first. I will handle the herbal field." Chu Tian said.
Aunt Tong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard what Chu Tian said. She knew very well that as long as Chu Tian promised something, the latter would definitely do it.
Since Chu Tian had already said that he would hand it over to her, there was no need for her to worry about it.
"In that case, it has been hard for young master and young lady to come all the way here. I will prepare a clean room to welcome all of you." Aunt Tong said.
"There is no need for that. Today is the full moon and it is the best time. I think that little guy will come out for some activities at this time. It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity." Chu Tian said.
"Little thing?" Aunt Tong and Chu Yunxue were puzzled.
At this time, Chu Tian had asked Chu Yunxue to go with him along the way. The two of them left the garden.
Regarding the whereabouts of the two of them, the farmers also saw it.
"Brother Tu, aren't we going too far by doing this? Actually, as long as they could increase the salary by half, everyone would be satisfied. Isn't this three times too much? What if they really fire us? "
A group of farmers gathered in the room to discuss in secret. The others also nodded. They were also worried that they would really lose their jobs.
After all, although they had a skill to protect themselves, they were afraid that they really lacked only a large herbal field like the Lin family. If they lost their jobs, it wouldn't be easy for them to find a good job like this again.
"Don't worry. That guy should be the young master of the Chu family. He doesn't know the importance of us farmers. As long as he sees his foolish way of doing things... We just need to wait patiently. The Chu family will not be able to hold on any longer. When the time comes, we will have the three times salary. Then, we will be able to make a fortune. "
Hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up. Three times the salary was indeed a huge temptation to them.
"Alright, since you've said so, Brother Tu, we'll listen to you." Everyone nodded their heads and said.
At this time, Chu Tian and Chu Yunxue had arrived at the border of the herbal field. In the past, it would be a mountain range.
"Chu Tian, what is this little thing you are talking about? Will it really help the herbal field?" Chu Yunxue asked curiously.
"You will know when the time comes. Pay attention to concealing your aura. We just need to patiently wait for it to take the bait." Chu Tian said.
The two of them sat on the treetops and looked down at the herbal field. The bright moon was high in the sky, and a dark cloud blocked the bright moonlight.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly dashed out from the bushes below. The black shadow started to harvest the herbal field with great speed.
Very soon, many of the medicinal herbs had already been harvested by the latter. Chu Yunxue covered her small mouth to prevent herself from exclaiming. At this moment, the dark clouds gradually faded and the moonlight shone on the ground.
A half man tall ape appeared in Chu Yunxue's eyes. The upper half of the ape's body was snow white and the lower half was grayish-brown. At this moment, the latter was skillfully harvesting the herbs.
"What about Chu Tian?"
Chu Yunxue was about to ask Chu Tian who was next to her, but Chu Tian was already gone. She turned to look at the ground and saw that Chu Tian had already captured the ape.
The ape kept squeaking, but its strength was not as strong as Chu Tian's. Chu Yunxue also jumped down from the treetop. She could clearly see the ape's face from close behind. The ape bared its fangs and kept roaring.
