After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

"What do you do? Are you sent by the government?" one of the men shouted.

Shen Li pushed the two away: "Don't get me wrong, we are not from the government."

"No one usually comes to our place, except for the government officials who always come to drive us away. Who would come here?" After the man said this, he did not let down his guard and continued to stare at Shen Li and the other two.

"We are really not from the government. Look at me, a girl, how can I be from the government? One of them is my elder brother, and the other one is my younger brother. Believe me, we are really not from the government." Shen Li tried to make his voice kinder.

The man looked at the three people hesitantly and said, "If you are not from the government, then what are you doing here? Who would come to this slum where even dogs don't come?"

Shen Li's lips trembled. When he first came in, he clearly saw two wild dogs: "We are here for a good reason. Put down your weapons and listen to me carefully."

The man hesitated for a moment and waved to the people behind him, who then put down their weapons.

"What on earth are you doing here?"

"We are here to recruit workers." Shen Li said.

"Recruiting workers? What kind of workers?" the man asked puzzledly.

"I don't know if you have heard of this thing called ointment? I am the owner of a shop that sells ointment. I have just opened a new workshop on the outskirts of the city. I am in need of staff, so I am here to recruit workers." Shen Li thought that after he said this, they would be happy, but who knew that they would not react at all.

"Are you kidding me? Who would hire us? If you want to make a living, you have to do the hardest and most tiring work. Why are you recruiting workers here? Don't you have some shameful purpose?"

It turns out that they don't believe it. Shen Li thought about it and realized that it was true. No one would come to this place, let alone hire them to work. "We are really here to recruit workers. We came here because we want to help everyone. Of course, there are conditions. If you want to work in my workshop, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement."

After saying that, she took the contract from Luo Qi and unfolded it: "Look, this is the contract."

The man looked at the person behind him and said, "Go and find Mr. Meng."

Then the door of the next room opened and a man walked out: "No need, I heard everything." After that, he took the contract from Shen Li's hand and began to read it.

When Shen Li opened the door, he smelled a strong smell of medicine. It seemed that someone was sick.

"Miss, is this contract the condition for you to come here to recruit workers?" Mr. Meng said.

"That's right." Shen Li looked at the man who came out. Although his clothes were torn, his back was very straight and his temperament was like that of a scholar.

At this time, the man on the side said anxiously: "Hey, Mr. Meng, what on earth is this contract, and what is written on it?"

Shen Li looked at those people holding weapons, and found out that they were illiterate.

"This contract is a confidentiality contract. Once you sign it, you must abide by its terms and cannot tell outsiders about what happens in the workshop. If you do, you will be punished, ranging from exile at the least to beheading at the most severe." said Mr. Meng.

"What? Isn't this a life-threatening contract? No wonder they come here to recruit workers. Don't they take our lives seriously?" The man said, and raised his weapon again.

Mr. Meng advised, "Don't worry, I have heard of perfume. It is very popular in the market. If this girl is really the owner of the perfume, then the perfume workshop is also a good place to go. Let's talk slowly."

The man holding the broken spoon put down the spoon and said, "I've also heard of the ointment. It's very popular. Ms. Meng is right. Let's hear what she says."

Shen Li saw that the atmosphere had just become tense, but was eased by a few words from Mr. Meng. However, she had to make it clear, otherwise there might be another fight. She came here to recruit workers, not to fight.

He said loudly: "This contract only restricts you from telling others about the production in my workshop. As long as you work hard and don't tell others about the things in the workshop, you will be fine and will not be punished. The salary here is also generous, five taels of silver a month."

When everyone heard that there was five taels of silver, they immediately put down their weapons and started talking.

Taking this opportunity, Shen Li looked at Mr. Meng: "What's your name, sir?"

"Meng Huaying."

"Looking at your demeanor, you don't look like someone who has lived here for a long time?"

Meng Huaying gave a bitter smile: "It doesn't matter whether it's long-term or short-term. After all, we are still living here in vain."

Shen Li saw the sorrow on his face. Yes, if he had a carefree life before and ended up in such a situation, most people would not be able to accept it, right?

At this time, the dozen people had finished their discussion: "Mr. Meng, is what this girl said true? If we don't tell anyone about the workshop, nothing will happen?"

"It should be like this." Meng Huaying said, and then looked at Shen Li: "If you want the contract to be effective, do you need the official seal?"

"Exactly."

When the man heard the word "government", he began to hesitate again.

Meng Huaying said: "There are many people here who have no household registration. They are refugees who have fled here. The government will not recognize them, so they can't go, right?"

This was exactly what Shen Li wanted to say, so he said loudly: "Everyone listen to me, I came here to recruit workers, in fact, it was our prefect's idea, he also wants to settle you, but the government is really powerless, and you are also illegal here, so they came to drive you away.

If you can work for me, it will be considered as helping him. If you can accept the confidentiality agreement and have not done anything bad or violated the law before, the prefect is willing to give you a way out. You can register your household registration and settle down in this Xiezhou Prefecture."

After hearing this, some people were indeed very happy, but some people lowered their heads.

Shen Li looked at their reactions and thought that some of them must have violated the law. In order to survive, few people like them were clean. "If some people have done bad things before, they cannot be registered. Then there is another way, which is to become my slaves. I will pay you in the future, but you will be members of my Shen family from now on."

One of them said, "That means we have to sign a contract to sell you."

"Yes, you should be very familiar with this. Many people sell themselves in order to survive because they have no household registration, right?" Shen Li heard from Qin Yu that many refugees without household registration would become slaves of wealthy families when they could not survive. Although they lost their freedom, they did not have to settle down and they still had food to eat, so at least they could survive.

Everyone began to hesitate again.
