"Hey~! We're recruiting! We're recruiting! Qiquge Workshop is recruiting! As long as they are strong and able to work, we will recruit them all. Each person will receive 30 cents per day. There will be rewards for good work! There will be construction houses. For those who give up experience, each person will receive eighty cents per day. If you want to sign up and make money, come and have a look~!"
In the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, as well as in various villages outside Chang'an City, you can see two or three young men in green clothes and hats shouting job advertisements at the top of their lungs.
"Thirty cents a day? So high? Is this little brother a liar?"
At this moment in the first year of Zhenguan, prices were very low, and correspondingly, wages were not much higher. Ordinary people went to the dock to carry sacks for a day, which cost only ten yuan. Those who helped people build houses, spent a day. It's almost the same price.
If you meet a conscientious boss, he will give you a little extra salary, but twenty cents a day is already the maximum. Now Li Zexuan's salary of thirty cents a day is really very attractive. The onlookers were all ready to move. The only thing that worried them was the authenticity of the job advertisement.
"Hey~! Brother, what you said is wrong~? Have you seen the clothes I'm wearing~? These are only worn by people from Qiquge! Do you know Qiquge? That's our young master The property! Do you know, our young master? That is the baronet of His Majesty today, the newly promoted Crown Prince Zhan Shi~! Let me tell you, if the steward of the workshop hadn't said that I wasn't strong enough, I would have wanted to do it myself, otherwise I won’t come all the way to Liu Village to recruit people!”
When the boy heard that someone was suspicious, he immediately became displeased. He was also a talkative person, he kept talking with his hands on his hips, and he had a bit of a "shrew-like" attitude.
"Oh~! He really is from Qiquge~! I've seen him in the city before~! I said Liu Buju, you didn't even look clearly before you spoke~! The man from Li County has a rich family, he will care about you This little salary~? Hey, little brother, do you think what I said is right~?"
A tall and thin young man first reprimanded the banker who had just raised the question, then turned back and licked his face and said to the waiter in Qiqi Pavilion.
"Hmm~! It's so true~! How could my lord care about such a small amount of money~! Everyone who has come into contact with my lord knows that he is a kind-hearted man and hates seeing others suffer, so how could he do such deceitful things? Kidnapping thing~?”
The boy from Qiquge nodded with satisfaction, then raised his head proudly and said.
"That's right~! Liu Buju, you are so ungrateful. The Quyuanli made by a man from Li County earlier helped all of us in Zhuangzi~? How can you say that~!"
"Uh-huh, Liu Buju, you have no conscience~! You dare to doubt such a good person like Lord Li~? I hope you won't do it for the rest of your life~! Brother, I, Liu Bizhi, signed up~! Don't say thirty cents a day, Li County man If you need my help, I’m willing to do it for even ten cents a day~!”
"Cao~! How could I have any doubts about the Li County man? I didn't know he was sent by the Li County man before~! Little brother, just now I couldn't see Taishan. Your Excellency has a lot of people. My name is Liu Fuji, no Liu Buju, I want to sign up too~!"
The gray-clothed Chinese character didn't expect that a casual question would actually put him in a situation of being "embattled on all sides", so he quickly stepped forward to explain.
Seeing that everyone had changed their attitudes and all had polite faces, the young man from Qiquge suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart. He still had a future in Qiquge~! Um, that’s not right. If I could be transferred to work beside Sir Alex, my future would be even better~!
The boy from Qiquge said happily.
"Haha~! Don't fight or grab, as long as you are strong enough, you can be chosen! No~! Did you see the stone in front of me~? Anyone who can lift it above your head is wanted in our workshop~! Everyone, line up and take your time~!”
The boy pointed at the big stone one foot wide in front of him and said loudly.
Although Li Zexuan is short of people, he can't recruit everyone. People who are not strong enough will cause trouble. The stone used to test human strength only weighs forty or fifty kilograms. For most hard-working farmers, , it should not be difficult.
"Hey~! Just such a big stone~? Simple~! I'll go first~!"
The man who spoke before was named Liu Bizhi. He took a step forward and said loudly.
"Fart~! It was obviously me who came first~!"
....................................
He had finished his own affairs and arranged the work for the people below. Li Zexuan had a rare moment of leisure in the afternoon. He was under the pavilion in the yard, blowing the breeze, eating iced grapes, and continued to write "Mortals" "The Legend of Immortality".
He has been so busy lately that he has no time to write novels. If he hadn't saved a batch of manuscripts a while ago, "Mortals' Cultivation of Immortality" would most likely be discontinued in the past few days, and the fans of "Mortals" would definitely go crazy.
As he was writing, Li Zexuan suddenly felt someone coming next to him. He looked up and saw that it was Li Tai, a little fat guy. He couldn't help but stop writing and asked curiously: "Huh~? Why are you here, Qingque~?"
"Well, it's nothing~! I'm just bored in the palace, so I just came out and walked around~!"
Li Tai looked at the manuscript on the stone table with some greed and replied absently.
Ever since Li Zexuan deliberately practiced calligraphy for a period of time, it was no longer his turn to ghostwrite "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality" because Li Zexuan could write much faster than him. This directly resulted in him no longer being able to enjoy the "privilege" and not being able to read the subsequent chapters of "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality" in advance.
"You can go to my house if you want to wander around~? You are really good at wandering around, right~?"
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said.
"Hehe~! Didn't I hear it from my father, Xiaoxuan, have you already designed our Yanhuang Academy? I came here specially to have a look~!"
Li Taiqian laughed and then told the truth.
"Hey~! Wait~! That's my Yanhuang Academy~! When did it become ours~?"
Li Zexuan didn't expect that this little fat guy was not only fat, but also thick-skinned, so he couldn't help but said angrily.
"Hey, Xiaoxuan, you are so boring when you say that~! I was the first one back then, ah, no, I was one of the first to support Yanhuang Academy~! Even if you are not grateful, you can't repay kindness with enmity, right~? "
"Go away~! I think you kid hasn't been in class for a few days, so you have forgotten the majesty of the teacher's way~!"
Li Zexuan picked up the "big sword" next to him, patted the table, and said viciously.
"Uh-huh~! Okay, ok~! Yours, yours, everything is yours, okay~? I just came to see your sand table, what about it~?"
The little fat man immediately moved away, keeping a relatively complete distance from Li Zexuan, and said angrily, he knew that even ten of him couldn't beat Li Zexuan~! .
"Ha~! The sand table is in the side hall, I want to see it myself~!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and sat down again to continue writing the novel~!
