Chapter 1125 Eating and drinking for free?
Seeing this, everyone did not hesitate at first. As long as they had a place to live, it would be good. However, almost all of them were unwilling to move after completing the place they wanted to live.
"What's wrong with you? Keep doing it."
The people from Prince Chu's Mansion ordered people to continue doing things, but they never thought that the other person was lying on the ground and only said that he wanted to rest.
"You have to build the place you want to live in. We have already built it. If others want to live in it, let them do it themselves. You can't leave it to us too, right?"
"That's exactly what you said. Why should we leave other people's affairs to us?"
The maid looked annoyed, "You guys have been eating and drinking for free for so many days, so it's only right that you do something."
"What does it mean to eat for free? What you say is so unpleasant. You did give me meat buns before, which was so generous, but they were gone in just a few days, and now I only have white porridge.
After all, there are multi-grain cakes at Prince Han's Mansion, and the multi-grain cakes taste good. Unlike you, don't do porcelain work without diamonds!
After they deceived us, they started to give us only white porridge. How could we eat such a small amount? "
"That's right, you were drunk in the front and hungry in the back, and now you want us to keep doing things. Are you really going too far?"
The maid saw these people talking a lot, and their words were full of resentment towards them. She remembered that her princess had told them to leave all these things to them. The same was true for Princess Han, so she became rude in her words.
"The residence over Princess Han's house was also built by refugees. Why don't they have as many opinions as you do?
They only ate multigrain cakes and white porridge, but you had eaten meat buns for several days. It would be too heartless to say such things now. "
Some of them didn't care. Everyone was already displaced, and the houses they built were for their own people to live in, so they continued to work.
The maid showed satisfaction when she saw this scene, "Everyone of you, please move quickly. Don't delay. I'm afraid it's going to rain tomorrow."
Until everyone who had done a lot of things at night wanted to eat more, they never thought that they would end up with a bowl of rice porridge.
"We have done so much, even if we don't give anything else, we have to take care of enough rice porridge, right?"
"You drink three bowls a day and still starve to death. Not everyone is like this. If I give you more, other people will start making noises. Wouldn't it be troublesome?"
The maid thought that they had broken the rules because they gave one meat bun at first and then two, which led to chaos.
The princess has already ordered not to cause such a thing, so that is absolutely not possible.
As soon as these words came out, the people who were doing the work immediately became angry and smashed the bowls.
"You are going too far. Others have done nothing. We have done so much and still can only drink a bowl of white porridge. So why should we do it?"
The people who were working immediately exploded when they heard this. They had said before that they would do nothing and just eat and drink for free.
Now they have been busy all day, and they are just drinking this little porridge, and their stomachs are still growling, but they are still treating them like this?
"Why are you angry? Isn't it the same with Princess Han? I haven't seen anyone there have any objections. Could it be because our palace didn't bring too many guards?"
The maid sneered and threatened. The reason why Yun Weiyang's side was quiet was simply because King Han sent many people to maintain order there.
In this way, naturally no one would dare to make mistakes.
Anyone who dares to make mistakes will be beaten.
Seeing this, everyone fell into silence after hearing this. Although they felt aggrieved, they had to say that there was nothing they could do about the current situation even if they were aggrieved.
Two days later, when one of them went to the city to pick up his old mother, he suddenly saw his fellow villager.
The fellow villager was holding the child and was stunned when the child even held a bunch of candied haws in his hand.
"Haven't you spent all your money? Where did you get the money to buy candied haws?"
This kind of thing is not for filling one's stomach. Why would he buy candied haws under such circumstances?
“Today is my daughter’s birthday, and she wanted a candied haws, so I brought her to buy it.
At worst, if you work a little longer tomorrow, you can make up for it by making some money. "
Hearing this, the man was stunned, "Where did you find the errand? Can you take me with you?"
"Isn't this just building a house outside the city? Aren't you doing this too? How about your wages?"
"What? Are you paid for your work?"
"Here, we were embarrassed to accept it before, but Princess Han said that there should be money for doing things, otherwise everyone will feel unbalanced.
The more you work, the more you earn. Now we are all rushing to work. Didn’t I earn some money just to buy a candied haws for my daughter today?
We are really poor now, but the princess said that we can go back next year, and the locust plague will be resolved, and everyone can return to their original lives. "
When the man said this, his eyes were shining with hope.
From the moment they fled, they didn't know if they could survive or when they would end. After arriving in the imperial city, they felt even more uneasy.
Until now, the man's expression was full of excitement when he spoke, as if he had been reborn, without the previous despair.
At least they know that they can survive this winter, there is still hope of going back next year, and there is still the possibility of everything recovering.
Seeing the change in the man's expression, he gradually understood that Princess Chu had never told them about these circumstances, let alone that they were paid for their work.
People get paid for their work, and they can buy whatever they want with their wages. But after working for a day, I only have a bowl of white porridge at the end, and I can't even ask for an extra bowl. This is simply exploitation!
"I'm going back first. I'll talk to you next time I see you."
The man didn't care about anything else for a moment, turned around and ran towards the back.
He really couldn't stand this cowardice and wanted to tell everyone about it.
"What are you doing in such a hurry? Is there any need to be in such a hurry?"
As the man ran back, he immediately wanted to smash the shed, but after looking at the guards of Prince Chu's Mansion, he told everyone the news first.
"Are you telling the truth? Didn't you lie to us?"
"I lied to you, I am this!" The man raised his little thumb and looked very serious, "I just happened to meet him when I entered the city. My fellow countryman was buying candied haws for my daughter with his wages.
He told me personally that they were all paid for their work. Princess Han also said that she would continue to arrange work for them in the future to earn more money for their return trip. "
Everyone was unhappy at first, and their faces gradually became ugly after hearing these news.
Like a fire, it was lit directly.
