Chapter 143: Rectifying the Brothel (Part 2)
In Mancheng, two hundred coins a month is already a good salary.
Two hundred coins does not include food and accommodation. After a whole year, I can't save much money.
But Chen Xuan's situation is different. Food and accommodation are provided, which means he doesn't have to spend any money at all.
Moreover, that is 3,600 coins a year, which when converted into silver would be more than three taels of silver.
In other words, if you work for Chen Xuan for more than three months, you can redeem your indenture contract!
Best of all, you can save money!
This is much more than making money by relying on your body as a girl.
Because the exploitation in brothels is so serious, for every ten cents they receive from a customer, they can only take one cent!
It takes three hundred times to earn a month's salary from Chen Xuan!
"Master Chen, is everything you said true?"
All the girls looked at Chen Xuan with hope. At this moment, Chen Xuan seemed like a savior.
Originally, many girls were ready to leave after getting their indentures back, but when they heard that the conditions offered by Chen Xuan were so generous, how could they be willing to leave?
I'd do anything to stay here!
The only ones who were unhappy were the madams.
After all, when they were brothels, the girls were their cash cows. What Chen Xuan did was equivalent to cutting off their source of income. It would be strange if they were happy.
"of course it's true!"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, then told Xiao Liuzi to get the booklet and continued,
"Those who want to stay and work for me, please register your names and information now. The young and beautiful ones will go to work in the restaurant and supermarket, the older ones will go to work in the agricultural building, and those who are less healthy will go to work in the weaving building."
Chen Xuan began to assign tasks to each person.
Those who are strong and healthy will naturally do heavy work, but those who are weak will have no choice but to go to a place with less stress.
As for the pretty ones, let them work as waiters. Their looks are an advantage. If the waiters in a restaurant are pretty, more people will come to eat here. Chen Xuan also needs to make money, so he can't just do business that will lose money.
Soon, almost all the girls stayed, including the male favorites.
If given a choice, no one would want to do that kind of business, and everyone would naturally be eager to become a good person if they could.
However, several brothel madams were unwilling to do so.
When they were working for the Liao family, they could earn dozens of taels of silver a month by exploiting the girls under them.
And the girls below have to serve them nicely.
As a result, Chen Xuan now said that all beings are equal, and everyone will be colleagues from now on, and no one is superior to anyone else.
How can these pimps who are used to being sought after bear this feeling of disparity?
So they unanimously decided to go to two other brothels.
Anyway, there are more than just the four brothels owned by the Liao family in Mancheng.
Besides, since the Liao family’s brothel is no longer open, this part of the market has become vacant.
Looking back, they can start a new business and open a new brothel.
"Mamas, where are you planning to go?"
Chen Xuan looked at the indignant madams with a smile.
"Master Chen, as the saying goes, people with different beliefs cannot work together. You follow the right path, while we follow unorthodox methods. We don't make the same money, so we won't accompany you."
An old brothel owner said rudely.
Chen Xuan suddenly smiled and said, "You can go, but can you pay me back the money you owe me?"
"Master Chen, what do you mean?"
"That is, when did we owe you money?"
Chen Xuan didn't waste any time talking to them and directly took out four indentures.
"I have kept the indentures of the four of you separately."
The indentures of the four brothel madams were each worth five hundred taels of silver.
The total amount for the four of them is two thousand taels of silver!
Originally, Liao Qing didn't want to hand over the indentures of these four people, but who was Xiao Liuzi? He was so cunning that Liao Qing couldn't hide anything from him.
Chen Xuan knew what kind of people the brothel madams were.
Originally, he planned that if these madams worked for him obediently, then Chen Xuan would let them go and sell their indentures for a few taels of silver.
However, since they don't know the rules, there is no need for Chen Xuan to be polite to them.
"You! How did you get our indentures?"
In fact, the four brothel madams had secretly looked at Chen Xuan's 130 indentures a long time ago, and found that theirs was not among them. They thought that their indentures were secretly hidden by Liao Qing, so they dared to turn against Chen Xuan.
I never expected that Chen Xuan, the sixth brother, actually didn’t take it out on purpose!
"All the Liao family's property is mine. How did you say I had a contract to sell myself?"
Chen Xuan laughed, then quickly turned cold, "Don't think I don't know how much dirty money you brothel madams have made by bullying the girls under your charge over the years. Today, I'll make you pay back with interest!"
"Xiao Liuzi!"
"Master Chen, I'm here!"
Xiao Liuzi stood up immediately.
"Take these madams away and make them pay the money to redeem their bodies. Today, we'll only pay them 500 taels. Tomorrow, we'll pay an extra 100 taels. The day after tomorrow, we'll pay an extra 200 taels! In short, every extra day, we'll pay an extra 100 taels!"
Chen Xuan spoke directly and coldly, which was completely different from his gentle attitude towards the girls. He was direct and decisive, appearing very cold-blooded!
The four madams were stunned. They either rolled on the ground, cried for their parents, beat their feet and stamped their chests, and screamed to the sky.
In short, she used the same tricks that women use to throw tantrums.
Xiao Liuzi didn't care about them. If anyone dared to make a noise, he would go up and beat them up. He would then pull out a knife and put it on their necks. If anyone dared to make a noise again, he would chop them to death!
Seeing that Xiao Liuzi was serious about this, these brothel owners immediately became timid and followed Xiao Liuzi obediently.
For a moment, all the girls looked at Chen Xuan with respect and fear.
They thought Chen Xuan was a good man, but seeing how he dealt with the madams, they found him so cruel.
It can be said that Chen Xuan's move, which combines both hardness and softness, is deeply rooted in people's hearts!
"I don't trust anyone else with the rectification of the four major brothels, so I'd rather leave it to you."
"Xiuning, you are responsible for the overall coordination. After all, the money is in your hands. You will make the final decision on what to do."
"Sister Ruolan, you will be in charge of the restaurant. Ying'er, you will be in charge of the agricultural building. Yiyi and Qiqi, the two of you will be in charge of the supermarket. Xuanxuan and Qingcheng, the two of you will be in charge of the weaving building."
"As for Ruxue, you are responsible for safety. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just let Xiao Liuzi deal with it."
In fact, Chen Xuan didn’t know what to let An Ruxue do, but the other women had work to do, and it would be inappropriate not to arrange some work for An Ruxue, so he just let her do this.
