Chapter Thirty-Eight: Give Him a Hand

Early the next morning, the stewards of the house each led the team to set off, busy doing the things that the prince explained, several people were full of confidence, now as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be done, since the prince is tens of thousands of yuan, things are much easier.

"Chief steward, which Zhuangzi should we go to first?" Out of the house, the driver who drove the car asked Zheng Fu through the curtain.

"Well, let's go to Dachen Village first, the people there are poor, and they are sad for years, let's send money and we will definitely recruit people in the morning!" Zheng Fu patted the bags of copper coins sitting under his buttocks and said with a smile that he didn't believe that if a lot of copper coins were scattered, no one would come to work.

"Yes, the kindness of the chief steward, sympathy for the people, yesterday the house issued welfare, I took back ten catties of pork, five feet of silk cloth, and those large strings of copper coins, my lady was so happy to see that her mouth couldn't close, I didn't sleep all night, I Wang Laoqi has never felt so hard for so many years!"

"Ha Luha, I haven't slept all night, you two are very energetic, you have eaten too much pork!" Zheng Fu Dalu said with a smile, it is rare to joke with people when he is in a good mood today.

"The Grand Steward... Where do you want to go, I got the things back, the lady had to cook the meat overnight, and used those few feet of silk to drive out the new clothes for the girl! Wang Laoqi blushed and said with a thick neck.

"Oops..." The chief steward suddenly exclaimed, the car suddenly shook, and he hit the roof of the carport with his head unprepared, "Wang Laoqi, even if the master is wrong, you can't drive the car into the pit!" ”

"The big steward, the small one is not intentional, it's just that there are potholes everywhere on this road, and you can't avoid it if you want to!"

"Forget it, let's get in the car!" Zheng Fu knew that the coachman was telling the truth, but the car was full of copper coins, he got out of the car and was not at ease, looking at a few guards on horseback on the side, he actually had envy, this road is still so difficult to walk in winter, if it rains in spring, the car will not want to move, he can't help but sigh at the prince's foresight.

Early in the morning, Zhao Ta finished squatting, practiced Meng Tao's Protestant boxing, and when he came back, he went into the small study, and even ate breakfast in the study. As soon as I saw Xi, I saw that the room was in a mess, the dishes and chopsticks were still on the desk, the prince was sitting on the ground flipping through the books, and there was a low stool next to the bookshelf in the corner, and it seemed that the books had just been taken off the bookshelf.

"When did the second master change his taste?" Jianxi clearly remembered that the bookshelf was full of miscellaneous books that the prince was not interested in, and he had been there since he bought them and had not touched them.

"Second master, don't sit on the ground, the official sees that he wants to tell you the rules!" Seeing Xi stepped forward to pull the prince up, and asked a small yellow door that followed to clean up the table, he squatted down and wanted to put away the books on the ground.

"Don't move, these books are what I want to read, don't mess up!" Zhao Ta sat down again, sandwiched a bookmark in the open pages, and asked Jianxi to move the book to the desk.

"Second master, don't you never read these books, why did you turn them all out today?" Seeing that Xi cleaned the table, set up the books one by one and asked, he looked through the books about wine-making such as "Wine Recipe", "Wine Classic", "Baijiu Fang", "Four Seasons Wine Medicine", and "Secret Cultivation and Tibetan Brewing Recipe".

"I hate less when the book is used!" Zhao Ta sighed with emotion, began to bury his head in the book again, read for a while, and suddenly asked, "Will you make wine when you see it?" By the way, your family makes coffins, how can you make wine! ”

"Second master, are you looking for a way to make wine, although the little one can't, but who knows who knows, as long as the second master lets me eat mutton again, I will tell you!" Seeing that he smiled and said with a smile.

"Oh, you still learn to make conditions with me, I'll reward you with a meal of wood-splitting stew today!" Zhao Ta kicked Jianxi and said.

"Hehe, the second master is willing to beat me!" Seeing that Xi avoided the prince's 'shadowless feet' smiled and said, "Second master, what do you want the old prince to do in the past?" He opened a winery to make wine, and now who doesn't know the 'Kunyi Wine' of the grandfather of the Daoguo family, the big and small stewards of our family are all sent from the Guogong Mansion, how can there be someone who knows how to make wine! ”

"Alas, I'm really confused, holding a golden rice bowl in my hand but asking for food everywhere!" Zhao Ta threw the book on the table and sighed.

"The second master is not confused, you are a fan of the authorities, I am just a bystander!" Seeing Xi scratching his head and saying.

"Has the chief steward gone?" Zhao asked. ,

"I went out, I loaded a large cart of copper plates early this morning and went to the direction of Dachen Village with six nursing homes, and I will definitely be able to recruit a lot of people today!" Seeing the joy, he hurriedly reported it.

"Not necessarily, if he goes to our old Zhuangzi today, he may be able to recruit people back, if he goes there, I'm afraid that this day will be in vain, and now I am afraid that the people of the old Zhuangzi will not dare to come!" Zhao Ta frowned and said leisurely.

"Second master, won't you? No one wants the jingle money strings, I don't believe it! ”

"Don't believe me?! Think about it, if a person is tall and strong and sees you hitting you once, and suddenly one day, that person pouts his ass and asks you to kick him twice, what would you think, do you dare to kick him? ”

"I... I don't dare, I'm afraid that after kicking him, one day he will kick back even more! Jianxi thought about it and said embarrassedly.

"Isn't this enough, the people of Dachen Village let Zhang Yan, that bastard, bully him ruthlessly, they will give money when they go, do people dare to ask for it, I'm afraid they will think that money bites!"

"Second master, what should I do then?"

"What to do? Cold salad, you have to use your brain to do things, you go and find Zhao Ren and them! Zhao Ta crossed Erlang's leg and said.

······

On this day, the summer courtyard was very lively, from time to time there was a laugh of laughter, people passing by sounded like they were singing, but they didn't feel like it, the second master had never had this hobby, and in the afternoon there were sharp-eyed people who saw that there were more than a dozen beggars wearing tattered clothes and unkempt faces in the summer courtyard, and he hurriedly reported the three stewards, but the nurses did not find any trace of the beggars after looking for a long time.

When it was dark, someone saw the chief steward come back with a slumped head, and then went to the inner courtyard, how to pull out a few bags of money, and how to pull it back, and no one was recruited. Soon there was news from the inner courtyard that the second master didn't see him, so he only asked him to go back and have a good rest...

At dawn the next day, Zheng Fu had already gotten up early and walked around the yard, he had hardly slept all night last night, his eyes were red, and the corners of his mouth were blistering. He sighed as he walked and sighed that his face was lost yesterday, he thought that he was going to recruit people with cash, and he gave money first without work, and those who didn't pass last year were still rushing to sign up, but...

"Alas!" The chief steward sighed again, he found the head of the village and let him hold the gong and shout in the village for a long time, only an old man with a crutch came to take a look, and went back without asking, he froze for a day and drank a belly of northwest wind, stunned that no one was recruited back, he was worried about whether to go or not to go today, how to say, how to explain to the prince if he didn't recruit people.

"The chief steward, the chief steward..." At this time, Menzi ran over in a panic and shouted.

"What's the panic, I've forgotten the rules!" Zheng Fu was angry, and reprimanded with a straight face.

"Yes, yes, the chief steward, outsiders have signed up!" Menzi swallowed and replied.

"What's your name?" Zheng Fu asked angrily, he was worried about signing up, and he was angry when he heard the registration.

"Sign up to repair the dam, there are one hundred and eighty people outside the door, and there are still people going this way, do you think the chief steward wants it or not?"

"Yes, why don't you want it, you quickly inform the secretary and let them prepare money, and I will go immediately!" Zheng Fu suddenly felt that pie was really falling from the sky, what was lacking came here!

When Zheng Fu arrived at the crowd at the door, he was happy, "Uncle Zheng, are you looking for someone to repair the dam and pay a month's salary first?" A man stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, not only do you pay a month's salary in advance, but you also take care of two meals a day after you start work, but you only recruit tenants in our house, which Zhuangzi are you?" Zheng Fu replied.

"Uncle Zheng, I'm from Da Zhao Zhuang, you won't coax us, this money was sent first, do you still have to pay interest? In the past, I had to bring my own tools and dry food! The man said cautiously.

"No, as long as you sign and draw a pledge, you can get three times to go home for the New Year, and after the New Year, you will go to the construction site to listen to the arrangement to work, and you will never be charged interest, and the future wages will be calculated once a month, and there will be no arrears!"

"Lao Zhang, don't ask this or that, I heard that I will recruit 200 people, if you don't go, I'll stop the way, I can trust that the house won't lie to us!" At this time, a man came over and pulled the man aside, squeezed over and said.

"This is the palace, I won't rely on our money, the prince is a good person, my second dog also went to the mansion to watch the play, and before leaving, the prince also wrapped a bag of snacks for him, I will go too!" ,

"Brother Lei, don't pull me, I'm just asking, I'm going to sign up too, and I'm idle at home!"

"Hurry up in front, someone is coming in the back, and if there are more people later, we won't be able to report!"

·····

"Let's go, don't mess around, stand up one by one!" At this time, more than a dozen people came out of the house carrying several large baskets of shiny copper coins, and the nurses opened the field and shouted loudly.

"Folks, if you haven't eaten in the morning, you can come here to drink a bowl of bone broth and eat two cookcakes!" As he spoke, a few more handymen came out with food, set up two tables and shouted.

When a few people in front of them reported their names and really received the money, and then sat down on the edge of the table to drink soup and eat cooking cakes, the people behind them all believed it and stepped forward to sign up, "Second brother, don't eat, hurry home and call the third child, let him come quickly, maybe he can catch up!" ”

"Brother Huzi, when you go back to the village, shout, let the boss of my uncle's family come too, he can't open the pot at home!"

"Okay, okay, I'll call you when I pass by Dachen Village, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with the few people recruited!"

"They deserve it, they went to their village to recruit people yesterday, and no one dared to come!"

"They made Zhang Yan's bastard miserable, I can't believe the good things!"

"If it weren't for those little Hanako talking about it yesterday, we wouldn't know what to do, and the good thing would have been taken away by them." People are talking, the first to receive the money happy can't close their mouths, the back is afraid that the recruitment is enough, or their turn to send the money, are eager to urge, after hearing the news, there are people behind the continuous rush...
