There was the sound of air-conditioning pumping again.
Xiao Han couldn't help but feel proud as he looked at the two people with their mouths wide open as they competed with the toads!
Country bumpkin, are you so surprised after only ten thousand guan? If you knew that I could exchange tens of thousands of dollars for a handful of sand, would you still vacuum up this place?
"Master Hou, you just earned ten thousand yuan with nothing...?" Yang Kailue was so shocked that he almost spelled out the last word! Fortunately, I realized something was wrong before I said it, so I quickly changed my words!
Xiao Han looked at Yang Kailue as if he were a country bumpkin, curled his lips and said, "Ten thousand guan is nothing? That's because cement has not been spread in the Tang Dynasty. Once the entire Tang Dynasty uses my new materials to build houses and cities, Strengthen the levees! What number is that? Have you ever thought about it?"
Yang Kai shook his head blankly, his whole body dumbfounded.
There was nothing he could do, what Xiao Han said just now had such a huge impact on him! How could a wealthy landlord who lived by collecting rents imagine that he could still make so much money in this world? !
However, Yang Kai didn't have to be stupid for long, because Xiao Han quickly patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "Hello? What are you excited about? You don't have any skills that can be sold for money!"
"Ah..." Yang Kai screamed slightly and almost vomited blood.
Xiao Han turned his head and ignored Yang Kailue who fell from heaven to hell, but looked at Lao Jiang who was silent.
After smiling, Xiao Han said: "Lao Jiang, you don't have to be surprised or doubt my purpose! I know that when you are like this, money is no longer the most important thing.
However, I can tell you. It’s not that I want to put money on my face. Ever since I came to this world, I have been thinking about improving the situation of craftsmen like you! And what we are doing now is just a very small amount! It can be said that what I have planned is beyond your imagination! "
Hearing Xiao Han suddenly burst out with such heroic words, Lao Jiang, who had been thinking for a long time, finally slowly raised his head, as if meeting Xiao Han for the first time, and carefully looked at the young man Hou in front of him from bottom to top. Read it carefully.
A simple and elegant white gown, a white jade hairpin, and a face that is somewhat childish because of its youth.
All of this was no different from the wealthy young men he had seen before. If there is any difference, it is that his eyes are exceptionally clear and bright, as bright as... just like the two clear springs in the deep mountains!
Eyes are the windows to the soul. Perhaps these eyes gave Lao Jiang a little confidence. He calmed down and then slowly asked: "I wonder what the Marquis said that we don't even dare to think about? "
Xiao Han looked at Lao Jiang, first smiled, and then said seriously, word for word: "I hope that the status of craftsmen can be raised to the same level as that of scholars! Even more than that, but no worse than it!"
"How is that possible?!" As soon as Xiao Han said these words, Lao Jiang's expression changed drastically and he almost blurted out!
Yeah, how is that possible?
People in the world are divided into four classes: scholars, farmers, industry and merchants!
But to be honest, their craftsmen are inferior to even the lowest level businessmen!
At least a businessman can make a fortune, wear brocade silk and satin at home, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, freely and unrestrainedly!
But these craftsmen, with meager remuneration, are subject to the imperial court's deployment at any time. They have no choice, no freedom, and they don't even have a fixed home! Who is willing to try it on a day like this?
Facing Lao Jiang's shocked or questioning eyes, Xiao Han smiled sarcastically and said: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but it's up to me whether you do it or not! Lao Jiang, you are also a smart man, we can make a deal!
You help me gather the craftsmen and sort out the techniques, and I will give you the rewards you deserve! In ten years, ten years at most, the world will definitely be at peace! By then, there will be endless ships built in the world, and everyone who comes up with skills during this period will get a share of the prosperous age!
I believe that as long as those techniques and tips are of great use, not only future generations will benefit from them! But the three rich generations can still do it! "
Having said this, Xiao Han stopped to take a breath, and then continued to drop a heavy blow to Lao Jiang, whose face was uncertain and had not yet fully digested what he said:
"As for Lao Jiang, I will help you accomplish what you want to accomplish! Listen to Yang Kailuo, did you want to go to Chang'an at the beginning? Since you rushed to Chang'an all the way with treasures in your arms, there must be something you want to do! Tell me , if it is not an evil thing, I will help you complete it! You may not think that I am just a small county prince now, but I can speak to His Majesty and the King of Qin!"
Xiao Han's words are categorical. If you want people to follow you wholeheartedly, then you must act like your hands and eyes can reach the sky! Otherwise, who will take care of you?
Perhaps because Xiao Han had touched his mind, Lao Jiang turned pale for a while and hesitated for a long time. However, after seeing Xiao Han's determined look, he finally felt heartbroken and knelt down on one knee and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou. ! I dare not lie to Lao Jiang! I am willing to follow you, Mr. Hou! I don’t ask for any reward, I only have one thing to ask you! Please find a way to change the household registration of our Lao Jiang family to a civilian! I, Lao Jiang, did it Craftsmen, but I don’t want future generations to be craftsmen. They can obviously live a good life! There’s no need to follow my old path!”
At the end of the story, Lao Jiang was already in tears. Xiao Han couldn't bear to see it, so he quickly stepped forward to help Lao Jiang up.
One person is a craftsman, and his descendants are all craftsmen. If one person is a slave, his descendants will also be slaves.
Xiao Han didn't know who set up this bastard's rule. If he knew, he would have to beat this person into a turtle without a shell to swallow this breath!
This bastard doesn't even leave anyone with any hope! His life is ruined and he is doomed to suffer! But the sons and daughters born cannot escape this path, so what’s the point of living? If it were Xiao Han, he would have wiped his neck by himself!
Pulling the heartbroken Lao Jiang to sit down on a big rock by the river, Xiao Han patted his chest and assured him that there was absolutely no problem in this matter! I'll do it for him later!
Lao Jiang looked at Xiao Han through tears, as if he didn't believe what he said. He had been thinking of ways to do this for more than ten years! Treating guests, giving gifts, trusting relationships, they all used it, but when they got to the final work department, they were all stopped! This made Lao Jiang feel despair for a time!
Later, until the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he happened to make a fortune in the emperor's palace. Then he thought of finding and revising his files before the new dynasty was established. However, God's calculations failed. He had just arrived in Hanzhong. People fell ill!
When I woke up, there was news of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty! When the Tang Dynasty took control of Chang'an, the first thing it did was to seal up the world's personnel records!
When Lao Jiang learned this, he collapsed and even had no intention of going home. He lived here with Yang Kailue for a year.
"Master Hou, aren't you kidding me, Lao Jiang? Can you really change my status as a craftsman to a commoner?" Lao Jiang held Xiao Han tightly like a drowning man grasping the last straw. .
Xiao Han felt as if his hand was clamped by a pair of iron pliers. He endured the pain and nodded: "Don't worry! I never brag! If you say leave it to me, leave it to me! Just let go and wait for the news!" "
In fact, this thing that took Lao Jiang countless efforts to accomplish was really nothing to Xiao Han!
As soon as the information about Lao Jiang obtained from Chang'an arrives, and Xiao Han makes a few changes, it will be done!
The Ministry of Works owed it a favor, let alone one craftsman, even if it required ten or eight people, no one would make irresponsible remarks.
