Chapter 1094: Listen to the heavens
Rongcheng County is under Dingxing County, and it is adjacent to Baoding Fucheng.
Because of this, it has become the west gate of Baoding Mansion.
At this time, there is dust everywhere.
Because of the loan from Xishan Qianzhuang, the construction of the road between Baoding Fucheng and Dingxing County, although the road has not been fully penetrated, but at this time, it is already a new atmosphere.
Countless merchants poured in.
After all, although it is in the area of the New Deal, businessmen need to pay taxes, but there are also many opportunities.
Hundreds of wastes are waiting to be lifted, and the profits are especially high.
One by one, the workshops were directly built.
In order to rush the work, many workshops are temporary sheds, recruit manpower, buy raw materials, and start production.
The environment here is terrible.
But there are young people everywhere, looking for work, and brokers are like flies, looking for opportunities.
The merchants worked tirelessly, and when they came here, they began to familiarize themselves with the environment.
The public servants of the county government have already been busy.
Because the county government collected commercial taxes and had silver, it no longer relied on ordinary people to serve, but recruited a large number of officials.
These people have energy and can learn.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is hope for them.
His own superiors were all promoted by small officials.
If you do a good job, wouldn't you also have the opportunity to become a clerk, or even a warden and a bookkeeper, or even a county magistrate and a county clerk......
Because of this, there are many people who have read books and are willing to enter the government, originally this official was called a lowly official, but now, the status is different.
The six houses in the county have to manage a lot of things, from patrolling and arresting to attracting investment, to measuring land, collecting taxes, and even going to the countryside, and even coordinating various construction sites, and even maintaining traffic.
In the past, the government was not under the county, but now, too many new things have been spawned, and someone must coordinate and manage them.
These county officials are also new, and they rely entirely on their own rubbing.
Fortunately, Liang Min, the county commander, is a shrewd and capable person, who climbed up step by step from the small officials, followed Ouyang Fujun's side, for such things, he is handy, and the affairs of the small officials under him can not be concealed from him, what should be done, sometimes he is helpless, Liang Min has to do it himself, as if he is taking a group of primary school apprentices.
The fellow townsmen of Changcheng are not in Rongcheng County, but in the first ten miles outside the county, here, although the road is opened, it seems barren, the land is leveled, and one by one the workshops are rising from the ground, because it is too late for all the workshops to settle in, it seems a little desolate.
Chang Cheng led Emperor Hongzhi and others to a wooden workshop.
Outside the workshop, there is an old man holding a large pottery bowl and drinking tea, while looking leisurely.
When he saw Chang Cheng, the old man actually recognized him, and said in a Tongzhou accent: "Ah, Chang Cheng, you are here too?" ”
"It's coming, it's coming." Chang Cheng listened to the local accent and was particularly cordial.
The old man hurriedly led him to the porter and sat them down, and then flew into the workshop.
After a while, seven or eight people came out, obviously, all of them were from Tongzhou, and they all had some relationship with Chang Cheng.
The first one, wearing a half-worn coat, looks like a businessman, but also dusty, which is the common image of the workshop owners here in Baoding.
On the one hand, I stay in the workshop every day, supervise production, and on the other hand, I have to negotiate business with people, and I am tired and out of breath every day, especially in the recent increase in demand.
When this person saw Chang Cheng, he stepped forward: "I know that you are also coming, dog, I have urged you several times, but I have not seen your figure, can you still live in that place in Tongzhou?" Follow me, keep your strength, you can have enough food and clothing, come, Lao Liang, tomorrow you take him, first teach him how to paint, now there is a shortage of manpower, no one can be recruited, and if you don't deliver the goods, it's over. ”
The owner of the workshop was red-eyed.
Now there are many workshops, and there are many construction sites, small workshops like him, and in the suburbs, how to fight for those big workshops, can't recruit people, now seeing Chang Cheng come, it seems that his career has another feather, although it is not like a tiger with wings, but it also feels like he is going to fly.
He looked through Chang Cheng and saw Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan.
All of a sudden, my eyes lit up.
He stepped forward: "These people, Chang Cheng is a friend, they are all from our Tongzhou, right?" Oops, sir...... Mr...... Is it a reader? ”
Emperor Hongji wears a half-worn Confucian cedar.
At this moment, the workshop owner cried and affectionately grabbed Emperor Hongzhi's hand: "Sir...... Where is the height? Sir, go, talk inside, talk inside. ”
Wang Shouren and the others all had tense faces, showing nervousness.
The owner of the workshop was in his thirties, and he looked at Wang Shouren again: "This gentleman is also a scholar?" ”
Wang Shouren strained his face, he didn't smile, and gave the workshop owner a closed door.
The workshop owner didn't care, but decided to put his mind on Emperor Hongzhi, who looked more kind: "Mr. is also a newcomer, no, no, no, you shouldn't be called sir, I see that you are older, you might as well call uncle, how about it?" ”
Emperor Hongji: "......"
Fang Jifan thought to himself, I Taishan is your uncle, so won't I call my father-in-law my grandfather in the future.
The owner of this workshop was very attentive, kept asking where it was, and opened the kitchen to get a few drinks and dishes.
Emperor Hongzhi and a few people were indeed hungry, although there was some meat in this meal, but it was not good.
Chang Cheng, and other guys, all eat very fragrantly, Chang Cheng deliberately kept a few shredded meat, and when the plate was eaten clean, he carefully picked up the shredded meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and did not swallow, his teeth were carefully bitten, and so on, the aftertaste of the meat was thoroughly digested before swallowing.
Suddenly, his face lit up, and all of a sudden, he had a sense of happiness.
The owner patted him on the shoulder: "Work hard, eat and live, have meat at once, apprentices will be given two taels of silver a month, and after two months, you will be given a raise." ”
Chang Cheng nodded busily, and his sense of happiness was even greater.
The owner of the workshop took Emperor Hongzhi's hand and cried: "Uncle, uncle, uncle is not high, why don't you be in this workshop, how about making an account?" Uncle's other friends can also be placed, they want to be a lacquer worker, if they want to help with transportation, they can transport, if they want to make wooden tools, they can make wooden tools, I will pack, please Uncle don't think this place is small......"
Emperor Hongji: "......"
The owner of the workshop said: "Every month, five taels of silver, including food and accommodation, and a single room." ”
Xiao Jing sneered beside him, this workshop owner, death.
Fang Jifan looked confused...... The quality of this workshop owner needs to be improved.
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "Okay, I'll do the bookkeeping room." ”
When the owner heard this, he was about to cry.
For fear that Emperor Hongzhi would run away, he hurriedly asked someone to take the contract.
Only after signing the contract can you feel at ease.
Emperor Hongzhi didn't care, took the name, and under the contract, wrote his own name - Zhu Dashou.
The workshop owner is happy, and the reader, he lives.
Now in Rongcheng County, it is not easy to find scholars.
The demand is too great, and a new group of wealthy people, children want to read, and they have to invite readers to teach knowledge. The officials recruited in the yamen must have read books, saying that they are illiterate and can't do things. There are so many workshops in Rongcheng County, there is a greater need for readers, there are no readers, how to settle accounts, and the contract, black and white, God knows if there will be any traps in it, don't let people who are good at reading and writing read it carefully, how can you rest assured?
Now it is more monks and less porridge, and the preciousness of the scholars, their own place, the temple is small, and there is no one who settles accounts and writes, completely relying on half a bucket of water, and the workshop owner who is coarse and ink-rich himself wears many hats, and now there is a 'Xiucai' wearing Rushan.
The owner of the workshop had a light in his eyes, and he instructed: "Call someone, tidy up a house, settle it for my uncle, and tomorrow, ask my uncle to look at the account." As for you ......"
He glanced at Fang Jifan and the others.
Fang Jifan and the others, without the orders of Emperor Hongzhi, did not dare to talk much.
But they looked at Emperor Hongzhi pitifully, and their eyes were probably yes, Your Majesty, don't make trouble, we don't want to work.
Emperor Hongzhi was so tidy, and his eyes were staggered with Fang Jifan.
The workshop owner pointed at Xiao Jing and said, "You are not young, and your complexion is so white, in the past, you were a decent person, right?" Don't worry, when you come here, you will have food, I see that you have a big waist and a thick waist, go see the wood. ”
Xiao Jing's eyes erupted with fire, and he turned his head: "Hmph! ”
The workshop owner didn't care, pointed at Wang Shouren and said, "You paint the wood." ”
"Oh." Wang Shouren looked indifferent.
Fang Jifan was afraid of being hit by the workshop owner, but the workshop owner still looked at him: "The young man is very handsome, he didn't go to the theater to sing, it's a pity." I look at your fine skin and tender meat, I'm afraid you won't be able to endure bitterness. ”
Fang Jifan nodded with a peck of rice: "I have a brain disease when I am a child, I often get sick, and my body is weak." ”
"It doesn't matter." The owner of the workshop said: "If you can use your limbs, follow Lao Liang to see wood, do it well, do it well, I have a daughter......"
Emperor Hongzhi's face changed slightly, and then he returned to his usual color.
Fang Jifan: "......"
Why is it that our successors eat soft rice? Sure enough, he is handsome, and he can do whatever he wants.
It seemed that seeing Fang Jifan and the others, listless, the workshop owner raised his voice: "Do a good job, our Liu Jimu line, although it seems to be a grass platform team, can ...... To tell you the truth, my background scared you to death, my brother, do you know where to work? In Xishan, in the Zhenguo Mansion in Xishan, following Wang Jinyuan's big proprietor to do things, Qi Guogong saw him and talked to him, with him, can our business be done? ”
Fang Jifan was taken aback: "Who is your brother?" ”
"Zhao Dayong!"
Zhao Dayong......
Fang Jifan actually seemed to have a little memory, the person who followed behind Wang Jinyuan with an obscene face?
This workshop owner is really right, he did say two words to this Zhao Dayong, one of which was: "Get out, you dog-like thing!" ”
