Chapter 47: Listen to the heavens
Xu Da's pearl in the palm of his hand, is he still short of money?
If I say this, I am afraid that it will provoke the shame of all the people of the Ming Dynasty...... But Liu Chun didn't think it was strange, just like the Jia family, who was a horse for Tang Jin, would also complain because of the matter of the silver, and it was not surprising that the Xu family had this situation.
It's just that Xu Miaojin wants to find a job, which is very incomprehensible.
What did she do?
As a secretary?
The kind that can be used when there is something and nothing?
Liu Chun subconsciously wiped his neck, don't think nonsense, be careful to put your life in. And don't consider Zhu Laosi, but also consider the age of this Nizi, she is not yet ten years old, and she can't tell who is older or younger with Xiaochubdun, let her work, isn't it using child labor?
"This ...... Miss Xu, I don't have any money to do here, I have worked hard all day, and I don't even have ten coppers, which you can't look at. ”
"No!" This little girl was still very stubborn, she even took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Liu Chun.
Is it a gift for me?
Liu Chun subconsciously took it and took a look, and he immediately recognized that this was the style of the mosquito repellent pack prepared for the army. Not to mention, the stitches are fine, and they are no worse than those women.
"This wage is very low, it takes two to earn a penny, and the fastest woman can earn five cents a day!"
Liu Chun is also a dead eye, the little girl is willing to do it, you can just give more prescribes, and it's over! No! This guy is so incomprehensible, in his opinion, the same work, can only have the same pay, if the work is indiscriminately paid, breaking the rules and regulations, it will ruin the entire workshop.
Xu Miaojin groaned slightly, it's only five cents!
That's a few!
It seems that Sister-in-law Zhang keeps accounts, and now her daily salary has risen to fifteen yuan, and Sister-in-law Zhang's ability is still taught by her! Do you want to do the bookkeeping too?
Xu Miaojin quickly denied it, she didn't want to rob that poor woman's livelihood...... "Okay, five wen is five wen, is it a daily settlement?" ”
The girl asked another sentence that made Liu Chun spurt blood.
Your clothes and jewelry, as they are, are more than ten taels of silver, and they are only five cents, is it worth caring so much? I don't know what this girl thinks!
After receiving an affirmative reply, Xu Miaojin smiled, very bright *** The crescent moon in the sky is still beautiful!
Tomorrow she will be able to get five salaries!
She earned it herself!
Completely, earned on your own!
Xu Miaojin suddenly wanted to cry...... "Mother, my daughter can make money, although it's not much, but one day, my daughter won't let you quarrel with the housekeeper for a little bit of silver, definitely!" ”
It turned out that Xu Da was dead, and the biggest gap was not his children, but those concubines. Xu Da is alive, they are still somewhat decent, and when Xu Da is dead, and there is no son to support him, he is even worse than a slave!
Xu Miaojin is sensitive and arrogant, don't look at his age, but he is dripping in his heart.
In the past, she was attached to the Dharma and avoided the complicated mundane affairs.
After chatting with Zhang's sister-in-law, Xu Miaojin suddenly opened a door, she knew for the first time that someone would hire female workers, and for the first time, she also knew for the first time that women could make money!
And a woman who makes money does not have to rely on others, she has face and dignity!
Even if it's just five cents!
She earned it, not by others, she took it comfortably, and spent it hard!
is really worthy of being Xu Da's daughter, she is tough in her bones!
"Mr. Liu, that ...... Bye. ”
Xu Miaojin jumped up and down and returned to her residence...... Looking at her back, Liu Chun actually felt a sense of sympathy...... That's right, in fact, he and Xu Miaojin's pursuit is the same.
It's all independent!
Xu Miaojin wants to rely on herself and make money with her own hands.
As for Liu Chun, he wants to stay out of all parties and run the workshop with peace of mind.
Even if he has a relationship with Zhu Dila, it is just to make the development of the workshop more smooth.
It's just that the idea is the idea, and when it is actually done, it is no different from dancing on the tip of a knife, in one word: difficult!
Liu Chun pondered and meditated, but did not find a suitable excuse to reject Lan Yu.
Fortunately, there are still some days before the victory of the army, and he still has some time.
Liu Chun simply focused on ironmaking, and he was going all out to build a blast furnace.
The first blast furnace, it doesn't need to be big, twenty cubic meters is enough, in fact, this is already the largest blast furnace in the world.
The difficulty of ironmaking is much less than that of steelmaking, and in addition to the blast furnace, the most important thing is the bellows, which must blow in enough oxygen to increase the furnace temperature...... By the way, the air needs to be preheated...... Liu Chun tried hard to recall, fortunately, he had made a windmill and a waterwheel before, and with a slight change, it could be used to blow wind.
The craftsmen from Beiping are also capable, and gradually, a behemoth more than three zhang high stands outside the village of Baiyangkou, like a giant, very conspicuous.
……
"What is this for?"
Little Fat Dun and the bear child circled around the blast furnace and asked curiously: "Is it a wine jug or a vase?" ”
Not to mention, the shape of the blast furnace is indeed somewhat similar to the pot-bellied vase.
"It's for ironmaking." Liu Chun smiled and said, "Don't you want to learn from Guo's learning?" Metallurgy is the most important part, and if you master steel, you can make powerful weapons and complex tools, and you will have the power to change the world! ”
Xiao Chubby Dun seemed to understand whether he understood or not, took a bite of the bun, blinked his eyes, and suddenly said, "Can you pay us?" ”
The bear child also immediately said: "That's right, I want it too!" ”
"Give you a slap in the face, see if you want it!" Liu Chun said viciously: "You are learning skills, it is good not to care about your tuition, and you are still thinking about wages, dreaming!" ”
"Then, then how do you pay your aunt?" Zhu Gaoxu was unconvinced and said: "If my aunt can get it, we can get it!" ”
The bear child also has a temper, shouting that it is unfair, and the little fat dun is not as obedient as before, all of them are habitual!
Liu Chun lifted the collars of the two of them, "Let's go, go and see, how your aunt makes money!" She's not like you! ”
Liu Chun wanted to let them see Xu Miaojin doing needlework, but who knew, when they arrived, they found that there were several women writing on the table, Xu Miaojin lowered his head, paced behind them, and corrected his mistakes from time to time.
After confirming that they could write, the women took out a purse from their arms, handed it to Xu Miaojin, and then bowed and left!
Turning their heads to see Liu Chun, the women were frightened, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Liu, we came here while we were resting." After saying that, he ran away as if leaving.
Only Xu Miaojin was left, her face was slightly red, as if it was a white jade, dyed with a hint of red.
Liu Chun teased: "Miss Xu, that's how you make money?" ”
Xu Miaojin lowered her head and said, "That's right, I sewed it myself for the first few days, and Sister-in-law Zhang wanted to find me to learn to read, but I didn't have time...... Later, Zhang's sister-in-law suggested that they should simply sew purses for me, and let me only be responsible for teaching them to read. If Mr. Liu thinks it's inappropriate, I, I'll just concentrate on sewing the purse. ”
"Don't!"
Liu Chun smiled: "I am the most illiterate person here!" It is a waste of resources to let Miss Xu make a purse...... Let's make it, you can be regarded as the female gentleman of Aries' mouth! ”
"Sir!" Xu Miaojin was surprised and asked boldly, "What about the salary?" How do you calculate it? ”
"Hahaha, a tael of silver a month, how about it?"
"Great!" Xu Miaojin clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "I'm a gentleman, I have to tell Your Majesty about this!" ”
"Your Majesty? Lao Zhu? Liu Chun was taken aback and couldn't help asking, "Miss Xu, do you have correspondence with Your Majesty?" ”
Xu Miaojin bowed, "It's a letter from Your Majesty asking about what you have seen." ”
This girl is powerful enough, she actually leads to the sky!
Liu Chun suddenly had an idea, a way to get rid of the entanglement of blue jade!
"That...... Miss Xu, can you mention a few words about the following things in the letter? Liu Chun bowed to the ground, "Please!" ”
Xu Miaojin couldn't help but want to laugh, this fool, who do you write if you don't write!
