From ancient times to the present, there is a saying that "the masters are in the folk", I don't know how many mediocre-looking rural people rely on their wisdom and wisdom, and the members of the rich and powerful people are turning around, and finally they have to pinch their noses and lose.
The folk tale told today is the story of a farmer known as "Liu Big Head" who outwitted and treacherously advocated pickpocketing.
It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, there was a rich man surnamed Zhang, whose family had thousands of acres of fertile land and baskets of gold and silver, but he was treacherous and greedy, and his heart was fierce, so he did everything he could to harm the poor people. It is known as "Zhang Peel".
In the spring of that year, Zhang Pickpocket went to the market to recruit long-term workers. False Confession offered twice the salary.
Some honest and generous people, who did not understand Zhang Pickpocket as a person, believed it to be true, and immediately signed a one-year contract to give him a long-term worker.
In the blink of an eye, in the summer, the long-term workers who had long been unable to bear it found Zhang Pickpocket to ask for some wages.
Zhang Pickpocket wanted to settle the account, and his eyes slipped and he came up with a treacherous plan.
"It's okay to pay, but you have to get the job done first." There are big tanks in the warehouse, and you put those cylinder sleeves up and put them into the small tanks. If you can't get in, deduct one-third of your wages. ”
These long-term workers were dumbfounded, the big cylinder was more than twice as big as the small cylinder, how could it be put into it?
Zhang Pippi smiled coldly and said, "I pay twice as much as others, but you can't do this little thing, how can you be so kind as to receive money?" ”
The long-term workers were thick and honest, their mouths were stupid, they couldn't think of a solution, and they thought that even if they deducted a third, they would be able to take more money than other places by the end of the year, so they had to swallow their anger and agree to deduct the money and continue to work.
Time flies very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is autumn, and it is time to pay the wages again.
Zhang's eyebrows were raised, and he thought of a black heart idea.
"Everyone has worked so hard for so long, it's time to calculate the wages." But you have to do the work before I can send you the money. ”
The long worker hurriedly asked, what work.
"It's raining these days, and the warehouse is getting moldy. You hurry to move the warehouse floor to the sun to dry, and then move into the warehouse, and if you can't do it, I will deduct one-third of your wages. ”
The long-term workers stared wide-eyed, how did the warehouse floor move out? Everyone frowned, there was no way.
Zhang Pi snorted coldly and said, "Since you can't do it, you can't blame me for deducting your wages." ”
The long-term workers sighed and had to agree to deduct another third of their wages.
A few long-term workers were not convinced and wanted to leave, but the elderly workers said: They have been working for a year, there are only less than three months left, if they leave at this time, according to the contract, they will not receive any money, and they will have to stay up until the New Year.
Therefore, the long-term workers had to continue to work with a sad face.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and the long-term workers went to find a pickpocket to ask for wages.
As soon as Zhang Pickpocket saw that the long-term workers were coming, he said, "Your money is ready." But if you want to get money, you have to answer my question first, how heavy is my head? Say yes to get paid. ”
The long-term workers are blindfolded, what is this? But still can't help but try, some say it weighs eight pounds, some say it weighs nine pounds, but no matter how everyone answers, Zhang Peel keeps shaking his head and saying no.
"Since you can't all say it, you can't give you this wage."
After saying that, Zhang Pickpocket went away.
The long-term workers could not say anything, so they had to go home empty-handed.
This incident let the local smart man Liu Big Head know, extremely angry, patted his chest to pack tickets to the poor brothers, and followed him to work in zhang pickpocket's house next year, and he must return his salary.
In the spring of the following year, Liu Datou and a few poor brothers went to Zhang's pickpocket house again, agreeing that as long as the work was done well, they would be paid twice as much.
In the summer, Zhang Peeling repeated the old trick, and asked the long-term workers to put the large cylinder sleeve into the small tank, otherwise they would not be paid.
The long-term workers all looked at Liu Da's head, only to see him say, "This is easy to do." ”
After speaking, Liu Da's head lifted an axe and smashed the vat. The pieces are then picked up and placed in small vats.
Zhang Pi stomped his feet angrily and said, "How do you break the cylinder, not only will I not pay you, but you will also lose my big cylinder." ”
Liu Da's head said: "If you don't break the big cylinder, why can you put it into the small cylinder?" If you can put a large cylinder into a small tank, I don't want the annual salary. ”
Zhang argued, but had to bow his head and admit that he had honestly paid one-third of the salary.
In the autumn, it is time to pay the long-term workers.
Zhang Peel, like last year, let the long-term workers dry the warehouse floor.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Datou instructed the long-term workers to carry the hoes to the roof of the warehouse and throw down the tiles on the house.
Zhang Pickpocket looked at it, hurriedly stopped his hand, and said, "Why are you picking on my roof?" ”
Liu Da's head said: "If you don't remove the tiles, how can the sun enter the house?" Only by lifting the tiles, the sun can reach the ground. ”
After saying that, Liu Da's head dug up with everyone again.
Zhang Pickpocket quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop, don't pickpocket anymore, count you drying the warehouse." ”
As a result, the long-term workers received a third of their wages.
By the end of the year, it's time to pay the rest of the wages.
Zhang Pickpocket said: "At the end of the year, it is time to send you the rest of the money, but today you have to answer the question first, and I will pay whom." Tell me, how heavy is my brain? ”
Liu Da's head replied smoothly: "Your brain has nine and a half pounds." ”
Zhang Pi smiled hesitantly, "No, my brain has nine pounds and nine two." ”
Liu Turned his head around and took in a kitchen knife and said, "I said nine and a half pounds, you have to say nine pounds and nine two, then you can only know by cutting off the brain and weighing it." ”
After speaking, Liu Da's head held a knife in one hand, and the other hand reached out to Zhang's head.
Zhang Pi's face turned pale, and he immediately nodded his head, admitting that his brain had nine and a half pounds. Frustrated, he gave the annual wages to the long-term workers.
The story is over, everyone has any ideas, may wish to leave a message.
