The thief who stole the steamed buns ran away, and Ang Lee was very curious about the thief, so he asked a guard to follow him to see how the thief was doing.

"The little thief just now, don't you often come here to steal steamed buns!"

Li An walked up to the stall and asked.

The man replied, "Yes, I stole it a dozen times!" It's two at a time, less than thirty steamed buns in total, I was really angry today, so I caught up, but I didn't expect this kid to have a conscience, these copper coins are enough for thirty steamed buns, I knew it was so, so I didn't chase him. ”

It can be seen that this man is really a little regretful, he probably felt that his previous behavior was a little reckless, in this good day of national celebration, he actually chased a hungry beggar for two worthless steamed buns, and this beggar finally took the initiative to compensate for the money he stole the steamed buns before, which made him very panicked, and felt that he had gone too far, and he should not treat a little beggar like this.

This was naturally expected by Ang Lee, since the little beggar just now took the initiative to send the money over, Ang Lee guessed the result, and asked just to confirm.

However, this little beggar returned the money for stealing steamed buns, but the money was not his own, but Yan Ruyu gave it to him, and he also owed Yan Ruyu the money for stealing steamed buns, but he also owed Yan Ruyu, but the two were really different before, the steamed buns were stolen by him, and Yan Ruyu's money was given to him on his own initiative, so he may feel that what others took the initiative to give was his, and he would feel guilty about stealing things.

Whether such a child is good or bad, Li Ang can't evaluate it yet, it takes time to prove, and you have to wait for the child to grow up to know, maybe this child will be a beggar for the rest of his life, so it doesn't matter if he is a good person or a bad person.

"There are a lot of stalls around here, and he only steals your steamed buns?"

Ang Lee asked.

"There are a lot of stalls nearby, but only steamed buns are the best to steal, and other things are not easy to steal! Look at that noodle soup, you can't steal it! There is also the fried twist here, which can burn people's hands when they are just out of the pot. ”

The small vendor selling steamed buns spoke.

There are a lot of snacks on the street, steamed bread definitely belongs to the lowest grade, but steamed bread is more hungry, after eating it is easier to make people feel full, and if you eat some delicious snacks, you may have to spend several times more money to have the same effect, for the poor, you can save a little better, spend several times more money, is what they can not tolerate, this is also the reason why the steamed bread shop can exist.

After a while, many people came to buy steamed buns, and these people who bought steamed buns were all the poorest people without exception, and those who were slightly better dressed went to eat the fried meat sandwich buns next to them, which was much more delicious than steamed buns.

"How many kinds of steamed buns do you have! How much can I sell in a day? ”

Li An asked with concern.

While preparing fresh steamed buns for customers, the man replied, "There are not many, but there are only five kinds of steamed buns, including wheat flour, corn flour, black rice flour, millet flour, and sweet potato flour." ”

"Wow, there are so many! Can sweet potatoes also be made into steamed buns? ”

Li An asked curiously.

According to Ang Lee's understanding, even if sweet potatoes are dried and ground into powder, it is difficult to make steamed buns, which is a bit too difficult.

"It's a mixture of sweet potato flour and wheat flour, and you can taste the sweetness of sweet potatoes, so it's called sweet potato steamed buns, and the guest officer wants to taste it."

The man said, politely took out a steamed bun and gave it to Li An.

"Buy a few of the same, and there will be a period later."

Li An gave the guards an order, and then left with Yan Ruyu.

"Sweet potato steamed buns, they really taste good!"

Li An broke a sweet potato steamed bun, a small piece with Yan Ruyu, and the rest was distributed to the guards who followed him, as long as he tasted it, not to be full.

Yan Ruyu nodded and said: "The taste is sweet and silky, it is really a sweet potato, if only the steamed bun has filling." ”

"It's not simple to have a stuffing for steamed buns, but the price of such steamed buns is high, and it won't be so hungry, and it's easier to spoil, and the steamed buns can be kept for many days, but if there is a filling, you can't put it for so many days."

Ang Lee said with a smile.

Stuffed steamed buns, appetite will definitely be better, this should be available in Datang, but it is a little more troublesome, and the cost is naturally higher, the vendor just now is just not good at making stuffed steamed buns, perhaps, he will make such steamed buns in the future.

Soon, the guard who followed the thief came back and brought back the news that Li An needed, the thief I saw just now did not steal steamed buns for himself, but also had a disabled companion, two people with one steamed bun each, and sat together and ate two steamed buns.

"Poor children, today they are full, but tomorrow? Will they still come out to steal steamed buns, just keep stealing steamed buns, this is not good! ”

Our Lady of Yan Ruyu's heart attacked, her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked very sympathetic, which is the most appropriate to describe it as a flood of sympathy.

"What are you going to do, Madame? The beggars in the capital say that there are not too much, and there are too many to say less, so they can't all be included in the workshop! Moreover, these people who are accustomed to asking for food may not be able to do their jobs well, and it is not good if they do a bad job. ”

Li An said.

His wife has a kind personality, which is naturally a thing to be happy about, but if she is too kind, it may not be a good thing, because there are too many poor people in the world, and pity is pitiful, even if you scatter your family wealth, you may not be able to save everyone.

"What the husband said is, however, if you meet them today, you can either be kind, raise them for some time first, and then let people teach them to work, and after that, they can support themselves."

Yan Ruyu said with a smile.

Li An said helplessly: "I really can't take Mrs. can't do it, okay!" As long as my wife is happy, it's fine, isn't it just two children, our family's workshop can afford to raise them. ”

I have to say that Li An was persuaded by Yan Ruyu and agreed to Yan Ruyu's request.

However, even so, Ang Lee is also an exploiting class for the craftsmen who work in the workshop, no matter how good Ang Lee does it, and it also changes the fact that no matter how exploited the craftsmen, but as long as this exploitation is a little milder, it will not disgust the craftsmen, besides, the craftsmen don't know how much Ang Lee earns, and they don't have this concept, as long as they earn enough money, they can get much more paid in Ang Lee's workshop than other workshops, for them, this is enough.

In fact, when he calmed down, Ang Lee felt that when he opened his own workshop, he was an exploitative capitalist, although he was a little milder and did not use a too strict system to force craftsmen to do the most work, but the essence of exploitation would not change.

The craftsmen in each workshop can create a lot of wealth for Ang Lee, but these craftsmen themselves can only get one-tenth of the wealth they create, or even only one percent, and the remaining value is exploited by Ang Lee.

In order to allow craftsmen to be willingly exploited, Ang Lee also took a lot of measures, such as an incentive system, giving extremely high rewards to craftsmen who do a good job, so that they can get more wealth, and even, during the Chinese New Year, personally go to the residences of these people and send them valuable New Year's goods, so as to appease people's hearts.

In addition, in order to gain a good reputation, Ang Lee often goes to charity activities to send warmth to the poor people who have no money, so that people are impressed by Ang Lee.

But this still can't change Ang Lee's role as an exploiter, and the same is true of those capitalists in later generations, who will do everything they can to motivate employees to work and make employees take the company as their home, and at the same time, they will also show the difficulty of their early business very exaggeratedly, so that the exploited employees feel that their bosses can have today's achievements, completely with the ability and hard-working spirit, rather than through exploitation, and then increase the rationality of having a lot of wealth. To a certain extent, it weakens people's hatred of the rich.

In order to better make the employees work hard, the capitalists will choose to occasionally lead by example, go to the workshop to work in person, and even make it clear in public that they will treat all employees as brothers, and will not abandon any brother, and will not let any brother live in tragedy because of poverty.

In fact, these promises are just a means for capitalists to win people's hearts, and they should not be true, because when an employee really chooses to turn to the capitalist because of the poverty of his family, the capitalist will overturn all the promises he said before, tear off the mask of hypocrisy, expose the essence of indifference, and ruthlessly sweep the employee who is poor and unable to work hard because of family reasons, and let him fend for himself.

The capitalists are all an exploiting class that eats people and does not spit out bones, and it is impossible to expect them to find out in their conscience and to sincerely care for and love their employees, at least, it is impossible under normal circumstances, or in other words, if such conscientious capitalists really appear, they will soon be eliminated by the times and become nothing.

Because the competition between capitalists is very fierce and cruel, many capitalists in order to get more wealth and higher social status, will use various means to fight competitors, and the most common and reliable way to crack down is undoubtedly to reduce production costs, so that the products they produce are cheaper, so that the capitalists with high production costs will go out of business, and among the ways to reduce production costs, one of the best operations is to squeeze employees, let employees do more work, and receive as little wages as possible. This greatly reduces labor costs, and the total cost is also reduced.

But the capitalists with high costs will not be willing to be defeated like this, they will not be willing to watch their companies go bankrupt, so they will also take the same measures to reduce labor costs by squeezing their own employees, or even more.

In this way, a large number of capitalists, in order to survive and defeat competitors, need to constantly increase the extent of squeezing employees, and even force employees to death, causing many employees to commit suicide, and capitalists will only give symbolic compensation, moreover, it is still moral compensation, and will not think that they are wrong, after all, all capitalists are so oppressive employees, if they are a little kind-hearted, then they will go bankrupt and go out of business, so, suicide is their own.

In an environment where all capitalists are constantly increasing their exploitation, the few remaining capitalists with a conscience must also be ruthless, so that they can survive, and blindly good-hearted will drag themselves down, only by getting rid of the burden, can we better travel lightly, let ourselves go further.

Of course, all these are ordinary capitalists, not including capitalists in monopoly industries, because monopoly capitalists have no competitors, and the pressure to survive is not as great as that of ordinary capitalists, even if they give employees more benefits, they will not have much impact on their own industries, just like the industry owned by Ang Lee, which is unique in Datang, and the profits are more than 1,000 percent, which in the eyes of a bearded scholar in later generations, this is enough to trample on any law in the world. Something that dares to risk killing your head.

Ang Lee dares to give employees a lot of benefits, so that employees can have a better living environment, relying on their own monopoly position, if their own industrial technology is mastered by others, and the same products are manufactured, then, Ang Lee's monopoly position will be broken, the price of the products produced will be greatly reduced, and even, can only maintain a very low profit price, in this way, Ang Lee can not be willful, unless he gives up this industry, otherwise he must be a cruel capitalist.

Yan Ruyu was very happy to get Ang Li's affirmation, she also felt that she was a little willful looking at the lanterns tonight, and actually did good deeds one after another, first accepting a pair of poor mother and daughter, letting them go to the workshop to work, and then helping the two little beggars, this kind of good deed can't stop.

The most important thing is that the lantern has not yet been finished, if she continues to meet poor people below, will she save again, and how many poor people can she save, these poor people who are saved, will they have a grateful heart, will they be grateful to Yan Ruyu.

For his wife to do good deeds, Li An has never objected, but how to do good deeds, to what extent, Li An must be reminded and intervened, because Doumi raises grace and bears rice to raise hatred, if the good deeds are too much, it will bring disaster to himself, and he will set himself on fire, because you can't be sure that the poor person you rescued is a good person or a big bad person, the farmer saw that the snake was frozen, so he put the snake into his arms, and after the snake woke up, The first thing he did was to bite the farmer who saved it to death.
