Back in the dormitory, Xiao Zhengtai opened the system panel. After taking a brief look at it, he took Mingde and ran to the paper mill outside Xianyang City.
Mingde has been in the palace since he was a child and has no impression of the outside world. This time out of the palace, everything feels fresh!
However, he did not dare to run around like Mr. Shota. Instead, he followed closely behind Mr. Shota and looked around cautiously.
The location of the paper mill was not very far from the palace. Under the protection of the secret guards, the two of them arrived outside the paper mill in half an hour.
"What's going on?"
Last time Xiao Zhengtai came here, there was no one here, but this time as soon as he walked to the entrance of the alley, he found that the back door of the paper mill was blocked with water.
"Shopkeeper, take a look at my firewood. My firewood is very good!"
"Shopkeeper, I have three bales of hay here, and I have already brought them to you in a cart!"
"Shopkeeper, are you still looking for permanent employees? Look at my strength, you're right to hire me!"
…
Some of these people carried firewood on their shoulders, and some had empty hands, preparing to come and apply for the army.
Yu Wenxuan and Fan Kuai acted very quickly. It seemed like they had posted the notices for collecting dry firewood and recruiting workers yesterday!
"Don't worry, come one by one. If anyone cuts in line or doesn't follow the rules, get out of here immediately!"
Fan Kuai stood at the back door with his hands on his hips to maintain order.
"Dry firewood and dried bark are two cents each for a bundle, and hay is two cents each for a bundle. Everyone come to me to register and get money!"
Yu Wenxuan set up a table in the hospital to record records, pay payments and recruit workers.
Although it was crowded and noisy outside, everything was going on in an orderly manner in the yard.
Xiao Zhengtai was small in stature, so she squeezed in among the crowd with Ming De.
Seeing that those people queuing up to sell firewood were children, they didn't pay any attention to them, as long as they weren't jumping in line!
The two shuttled through the crowd, and after a long effort, they finally squeezed into the back door of the paper mill. They smiled at Fan Kuai, who was maintaining order, and said, "Fan Kuai, you did a good job!"
"Young Master, you are here!"
Seeing him, Fan Kuai laughed innocently.
"Um!"
Little Shota nodded and walked around the yard with his little hands behind his back, "It looks like there are a lot of people coming to sell hay and bark!"
There is a very large shed in the yard, which should have been built in the previous dyeing workshop, and is now used to store hay.
In less than half a day, dry firewood had already piled up into a hill!
"Yes, now is the slack time for farming, and the people are worried about having nothing to do, so the young master gave them a chance to make money!"
Fan Kuai said with a smile.
Nowadays, there is a lot of dry firewood in the mountains and hay and reeds in the fields. As long as the people who are a little diligent get the news, they will go to the mountains to collect firewood and make money.
Even children who can’t carry firewood will cut reeds, and the more they can earn, the better!
An adult man's daily wage is only eight cents. A child can cut at least four bales of hay a day, so he can earn two cents.
Nowadays, every family has at least three or five children, and the money they earn in a day is already equivalent to that of an adult man!
With the extra money you earn, you can buy a few more pounds of grain, meat and eggs!
"How is the recruitment of long-term workers?" Xiao Zhengtai asked, looking down at Yu Wenxuan's account books.
"The young master offered such a high price, naturally a lot of people came to take the job. We only selected some who were strong or well-educated to stay, and sent the rest away!" Yu Wenxuan replied.
"By the way, young master, there are a few people over there who are literate. Please check them. One of them seems to be very knowledgeable. I think he's good!"
Yu Wenxuan stood up and took the young lady to a side room.
Several people are different in height, short, fat and thin. One of them is handsome and young.
"How many of you are literate?"
"How much do you know? Apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, what other books have you read?"
"Where are you from? Do you know how to write Xiaozhuan?"
After entering the side room, the young lady held her hands behind her back and walked around in front of several people, asking a series of questions.
Everyone raised their heads and glanced at him, not taking him seriously at all.
What's a baby doing here to stir things up? As if he could call the shots!
"This is our boss. Why didn't anyone say anything when the boss asked me?"
Seeing no one said anything, Yu Wenxuan's face turned cold.
What?
Is this milk doll the owner of Zhifang?
Everyone was stunned.
"My boss, my name is You Hong. I have read all the Four Books and Five Classics. I am an authentic Qin native!"
"Me too, me too. My name is Guizhuang. My mother wanted me to be strong and strong, so she gave me this name. She is also from our old Qin!"
"I am a native of Chu. I have read all the Four Books and Five Classics. I can also write Xiaozhuan. I hope my employer will not dislike my background!"
…
After they came to their senses, everyone stepped forward to announce their homes, each with a bright smile on their face.
There is no way. Looking at the whole Xianyang, there is only one company that can offer a price of 1,500 yuan per month. Everyone wants to seize this opportunity.
But there is also a disharmonious figure hidden among them.
He was thin, handsome, and dressed in coarse linen clothes. He looked young, shook his head, sighed, and turned to leave!
"Why are you going?"
The young lady was not very interested in the smiling faces in front of her. Instead, she spotted the arrogant back at a glance.
"Humph! I'm Zhang Liang, although I don't know what this paper mill does, but if I had known that the owner was a childish kid, I wouldn't have signed up at all!"
After saying that, the thin man turned around and left.
"Ha ha!"
As soon as he turned around, Shota suddenly laughed.
Zhang Liang!
Isn’t this a character from Glory!
The Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's counselor, and a native of Korea. His grandfather served as prime minister of Korea for three consecutive dynasties, and his family was wealthy.
But after Qin destroyed Han, he invested all his property in the anti-Qin cause.
In 218 BC, a strong man was hired to assassinate Ying Zheng, but he failed.
I didn't expect that he would be in such a miserable state now, without even a decent piece of clothing. No wonder he would come here. He probably wouldn't even be able to afford food if he didn't make some money, right?
"Why are you laughing?"
Hearing Xiao Zhengtai's devilish laughter, the arrogant Zhang Liang stopped in his tracks.
"I laugh at your shallow knowledge. Who says you can't have real talents and learning at a young age? You are quite old, but have you ever made any significant contributions to the country?"
If he remembered correctly, when Korea was destroyed, he should have done nothing. It was not until he met Liu Bang and became an adviser by his side that he became the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.
After hearing these words, Zhang Liangxian's face turned red.
That's right, his grandfather and I were both prime ministers of Korea. When he came to Korea, Korea was destroyed and they did nothing at all.
Even the cause of anti-Qin was not achieved. Instead, Qin became bigger and stronger.
Now, his family's wealth has been wiped out and he has no choice but to find a job in Xianyang to make a living!
