Qin Ming led everyone out of the teahouse. It was almost noon, so he found a restaurant for a meal and then continued to Chang'an West Market.
When the carriage passed by Xingdaoli outside the imperial city, Xiao Changxi stared at the gate for a long time. Qin Ming noticed something strange about Changxi and asked:
"Changxi, is there anyone you know in Xingdao?"
Xiao Changxi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:
"Well, I have a distant relative."
Qin Ming said: "Shall the young master accompany you to visit Xingdaoli?"
Xiao Changxi shook her head and said,
"Master, let's go do some business first. I only know that she lives in Xingdao, but I don't know where exactly. I will visit her again when I have the opportunity."
Qin Ming didn't say much after hearing this, and soon everyone arrived at the West Market.
Qin Ming led a group of people and headed straight to Yaxing in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the door of the dental shop, Qin Ming saw the dental surgeon Lao Guo from last time, so he stepped forward to say hello:
"Lao Guo, business is coming to your door. Why don't you come and say hello quickly?"
Lao Guo turned around and saw Qin Ming and his party, so he said:
"I have met Mr. Qin. What are you here to buy this time?"
Qin Mingdao: "This time, I want to buy some craftsmen. I need about twenty people. They are mainly those who build houses and can be blacksmiths."
"I wonder if you have anything suitable here?"
Hearing this, Lao Guo said: "Yes, is there any age requirement?"
"Anyone as young as twenty-five is fine. It doesn't matter if you are older."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, please wait a moment. I will bring you a list at some point. You can choose from it."
"By the way, Mr. Qin, do you want a maid? Recently, a group of people from the south came to Yaxing. They all look good."
After saying that, he gave Qin Ming a "you know" look.
Qin Ming glanced at Xiao Changxi next to him awkwardly and said:
"I don't want it, maid."
Soon, Lao Guo took out a booklet with a craftsman's name on it from the counter.
Qin Ming took it and took a look, hey, this ancient dental industry is quite particular. This booklet is similar to the resume booklets of later generations.
The craftsman's personal information and previous experience were written clearly. After browsing through it, I found that there were quite a few people who met the requirements, so I casually checked a dozen names.
When he was about to close the book and hand it to Lao Guo, he suddenly scanned a few words, Anji Bridge, Li Chun.
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment,
He thought that before traveling through time, he had just gone to Zhaozhou Bridge with a partner who liked ancient bridges, and Zhaozhou Bridge was called Anji Bridge during the Tang Dynasty.
So he pointed at this person's name and said, "Why did this person get to Yaxing?"
Lao Guo scanned the names and said:
"Master Qin, this man is over sixty years old this year. I don't know the specific reason why he came here. Do you want this man at such an old age? You won't be able to do much work if you buy him back."
Qin Ming didn't take it seriously and said:
"Call him here. If it's appropriate, I'll take them all, including him and the people I just checked."
Lao Guo immediately became energetic. This was another big deal. Soon Lao Guo brought an old man with a gray beard to the lobby.
Qin Ming saw the old man. Although he was not young, he still walked steadily. He suppressed his inner excitement and walked forward and said:
"You are Li Chun, Mr. Li, who built the Anji Bridge?"
Li Chun looked at Qin Ming and said, "Master, do you know me?"
"I don't know you, but I have heard of Anji Bridge. I wonder if this bridge was built by you?"
Li Chun was stunned. He didn't expect that people still knew about the bridge he built when he was young, so he nodded.
The Qin and Ming Dynasties were overjoyed that the Zhaozhou Bridge was still very strong after thousands of years. Therefore, its builder must be a very powerful craftsman.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming smiled and said: "Mr. Li, someone named Qin Ming recently wanted to form a team of craftsmen. Build some workshops and invent some new things. Are you interested in managing this team?"
Li Chun heard this and said, "Is the wine steward enough?"
Qin Ming nodded.
Li Chunze smiled and said, "Okay, then my life belongs to the young master."
Qin Ming then told Li Chun about the tea-frying workshop he was going to build and some of the wok utensils in the workshop.
Li Chun took the booklet from Lao Guo's hand and checked a group of people again.
Then he said to Qin Ming: "Master, according to your opinion, it is more appropriate to recruit these people. Because there are only five craftsmen who can build a workshop, and young adults can be recruited to build a house."
"The iron pots and other utensils you mentioned require specialized blacksmiths. So I adjusted the craftsman ratio."
Qin Ming was extremely happy to see this.
You have to be a professional person and do professional things.
Qin Ming had to feel happy for his luck and decision.
Soon Qin Ming signed a contract with Lao Guo and paid the money.
Yahang will send someone to deliver the craftsman and the deed of sale to Qinjiazhuang tomorrow.
Before leaving, Qin Ming suddenly thought that the teahouse still lacked a shopkeeper. Through these two contacts, he found that Lao Guo was a good and capable person and should be a good candidate.
So he pulled the flag and told Lao Guo that he was now in partnership with the Prince of Hejian County and needed a shopkeeper. He was paid ten guan a month and asked him if he would like to change his work environment.
When Lao Guo heard that it was a business deal with the Wang family of Hejian County, and that he could get ten guan of money a month, he agreed without thinking.
So Qin Ming told Lao Guo the address of Dongshi Teahouse and introduced Yuechan and Xiao Changxi to him.
I made an agreement with him to go directly to the teahouse to work tomorrow. This half month I will focus on the renovation and construction of the teahouse.
The drawings and craftsmen will be sent to the teahouse in the near future. Just discuss the specific matters with Yuechan.
As the group left Yaxing, Qin Ming looked at the time and saw that it had just passed, which was three o'clock in the afternoon.
It was still too late to rush back now, so everyone headed towards the carriage at the entrance of the square.
When passing by the door of a barbarian restaurant, a figure stopped in front of Qin Ming. This man was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in brocade clothes, with a jade pendant around his waist and a white jade hairpin on his head.
However, this person's face was sallow and he looked like he had been drinking too much. Qin Ming frowned and planned to call everyone to avoid this drunkard.
At this moment, a drake voice came: "Hey, hey, it's you, stop."
As he spoke, he wandered up to Qin Ming and said, "Boy, you are very unfamiliar. Are you from the countryside? I stopped you just to give you face. Do you still want to run?"
Qin Da saw a drunkard blocking his way and his mouth was not clean. He was about to step forward and beat him, but Qin Ming held him back.
This is Chang'an City, and Qin Ming doesn't want to cause trouble. Moreover, judging from the onlookers, some with anger in their eyes, some with pity in their eyes, but no one stood up, they knew that this person was not an ordinary person.
So he stepped forward and bowed and said, "May I ask who you are? Why are you blocking my way?"
When the drunkard saw Qin Ming stopping his guard, he smiled disdainfully and gestured to the dog leg behind him. A boy with a deer head and rat eyes came out and said:
"Boy, you don't even know a certain young master. He is really a farmer."
"Boy, please stand up straight and listen. Don't tremble for a while. A certain young man's surname is Changsun, with the Chinese character for "Huan". He is the second son of Duke Zhao."
"To tell the truth, please give the two women around you to my young master immediately, otherwise your son will not be able to leave Chang'an City."
Changsun Huan just saw the two women from a distance, surrounded by stars like the moon.
They have the same tall figure and amazing curves. One has a heroic and indifferent face, and the other wears a veil and has a pair of peach blossom eyes, which is very attractive.
Like two fairies, one is cold and aloof, the other is charming.
So he took action decisively and stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way of Qin Ming and his party.
Qin Ming looked at the two people in front of him and thought that he was unlucky. While shopping, he actually bumped into the top playboy of the Tang Dynasty.
However, he was not too afraid. He did not believe that he would dare to rob a civilian girl in broad daylight.
And Qin Ming, although he is a small person, he is still a time traveler.
If he compromised today and sent Chang Xi and Yue Chan away, would he also ask Qing Wan and Zi Jun to be sent away tomorrow?
(Hey, why did you bring Zijun with you?)
What if someone wants his life next time?
Compromise cannot solve the problem. Although he does not want to die and does not want to provoke the powerful people of the Tang Dynasty, it does not mean that he is afraid of death.
The worst case scenario is that the fish will die and the net will fall apart. Qin Ming feels that with his own ability, as long as he escapes this time, he can turn around at any time.
He was really annoyed, so he brought out gunpowder and blew up Zhao Guogong's mansion. The worst case scenario is to escape.
For a moment, Qin Ming's mind turned several times, and he suppressed it. With the anger in his eyes, he stretched out his hands to protect the two women behind him.
