Once you move into your new home, everything is ready. The Luocheng masters put away the thatched shacks they built and the earthen stoves used for cooking. The open space in front of Liang Chuan's house returned to its original state. If you search carefully, you can find traces of human activities, but they It was quite conscientious that the demolished waste was not thrown aside, but was carried to a corner in the mountains in groups and piled up. After a few months, it was rained, rheumatized and dust returned to dust.
Zhao Fafa led all the masters and apprentices to open the door of Zhang's house early in the morning. Everyone stood in the courtyard and bowed respectfully to Liang Chuan. Nearly forty of the elders all bent down and bowed to Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan made a bow. Liang Chuan was so shocked that he bent down and bowed back. When Master Luocheng straightened his back, Liang Chuan's head was still lowered in the air for a long time.
Zhao Fafa was so frightened that he hurriedly helped Liang Chuan up: "Why are you doing this, master? Today we are here to bid farewell to our master. We are honored by our master's respect. Fortunately, we have lived up to our fate!"
Zhao Fafa and the others are really talented. They built a tall and big house. They slept comfortably and safely for one night. Xiaochai and the others lived in the wing room on the left, with three women in one room, Zhaodi and Li Chu alone. One room. Everyone said that this house was much easier to live in than the side room in He's ancestral hall. The rooms in the ancestral hall were in disrepair, dark and damp, and it was very uncomfortable to live there.
These people rely on their own craftsmanship to make a living. If they are professional enough, I really want to keep them. If the infrastructure construction in this era is as crazy as in later generations and people are crazy about real estate speculation, Liang Chuan will definitely keep them and become an engineering team. , as a contractor.
"Old Zhao, are you leaving now? I want to keep you for two more days. Let's have a good time drinking for two days. There's nothing else to say. With the skills of several masters, I have to do it for my wife. Thank you for finally giving our couple a place to live, I’m so happy!”
"Thanks to my boss for looking down on us hard workers, I'm afraid it will ruin your enthusiasm. These kids have been out for too long. They didn't even go back for the New Year. They are all homesick and panicked. Now that the house is built, Thanks to the boss's kindness, we will give the children a few taels of travel expenses. We are going back home and can't cause any more trouble to the boss." Zhao Fa was sincere and he also hoped that he could meet people like him every time he went to work in the future. Liang Chuan is such a good employer, but after working for him all his life, he encountered this once and he was really unwilling to leave.
"Well, if that's the case, Old Zhao, come into the house with me." Zhao Fafa followed Liang Chuan into the house and waited in the main hall. Liang Chuan took the time to take out the agreed wages, one thousand guan. Liangchuan has taken out all the gold and silver from the tree hole and now hides them in his bedroom.
"Ten ingots of gold ingots, one ingot of ten taels, two pure gold ingots, Lao Zhao, please order!" Liang Chuan wrapped nearly six and a half kilograms of ingots in a cloth bag and pushed it towards Zhao Fafa. Liang Chuan's heart throbbed. One hundred taels of gold. He had plundered all the belongings dug out of a den of thieves. The texture was so strong. Liang Chuan did not dare to look directly at this batch of gold anymore. He was afraid that he would not be able to figure it out. .
Materials and labor were divided in half. The materials used to build my house were almost a thousand guan, which is one hundred taels of gold. It is said that Su Shi's younger brother Su Che had been an official all his life, but he could not even afford a house. He could not hold his head up in front of his son and felt that he had failed the next generation. The famous Prime Minister Kou Zhun is worried about housing costs every day. In any era, housing prices are a huge mountain on the heads of ordinary people. It costs one hundred taels of gold to build a house in the countryside. It takes several lifetimes for these upright officials to build a house based on their salaries.
The gift to these masters is one thousand guan.
"My boss, there's no need to order!" Zhao Fafa's trust in Liang Chuan couldn't be greater, and he still wants to order the accounts in front of others. Isn't that a slap in the face?
"Old Zhao, hurry up and count. This money is not a joke." Liang Chuan didn't want anything to happen at this moment of settling accounts. It would be so embarrassing. The relationship that we finally got along with cannot be let go because of such small details.
"Okay." Zhao Fafa opened the cloth bag, and inside there were ten large round golden ingots lying in the bag. He hadn't seen so much money in a long time, and it made Zhao Fafa a little confused.
"My boss is right about this number. I would like to thank my boss for your kindness on behalf of the children outside. My boss is benevolent and righteous. Jinkou said, if there is any need for my old bones in the future, my boss can just ask. Old man, I I dare not give up even if I die!"
Zhao Fafa is also a sweet-tempered person who repays his kindness and the two cherish each other. How did a group of people come to Fengshan, and then left here in a mighty manner.
More than thirty people from Liang Chuan were sent to Shima Qiaotou. On the bridge, Zhao Fafa tried hard to persuade Liang Chuan not to send any more. Thirty men shouted in unison: "Don't send them away, my boss!" Liang Chuan couldn't help but tears welling up in his eyes, and he held back the tears. Then he stopped. Such a good man cannot make a lot of money, which shows how unfair this society is.
Liang Chuan originally thought that all the Luocheng masters were gone, but when he got home, he saw that there was still one in the yard, Zhao Xiaopin!
Yes, I had promised Zhao Xiaopin that we would work together to improve the stove, but there were so many things going on in the past few days that I neglected it. Everyone left, only his little apprentice stayed.
Liang Chuan was quite emotional. A person who dared to give up his career and embark on a path with an uncertain future was worthy of admiration. Moreover, he was a person whom he was not optimistic about. He was wrong.
"My boss, I have made an agreement with my uncle. From now on, I will set up my own business. Whether I walk all the way to the sky or go all the way into the dark depends on the fortune of the ancestors and the sketches. Boss, you nod, and I will do this for you. Word got out.”
Liang Chuan's first impression of this kid was not good. His original sketch was reduced to a street trick, and he and Baozheng surrounded him and beat him in an alley. But when everyone is in trouble, don't bully a young man who is poor. The young man's potential is amazing. His unique vision saw the use of firewood stoves. Liang Chuan also thought about it later and it should be a feasible way.
"Why shouldn't I nod? It's too late for me to be happy about this thing that benefits the people. From now on, you don't have to give me my name. Let's call this stove Pinzao. You are also the inheritor of the craftsmanship. In your name, I can rest assured. Very good." It is impossible for Liang Chuan to specialize in cooking stoves himself, because this is really not his expertise, and the profit margin is not large. It is really suitable for someone to share the burden for him.
The relationship with masters like Luocheng is all thanks to this boy Zhao Xiaopin. It is okay to say that he is insignificant, but without him, none of this will be possible. Sometimes fate is so subtle.
"The boss's manpower..." Zhao Xiaopin was asking for all sorts of things. If he went out alone, and the cashier and accounting were done by the same person, how would he know how many stoves he had made.
Liang Chuan didn't expect that he would consider it for him, which was a bit surprising. He still doesn't like this little bit of mosquito meat. Although he doesn't have much money on hand at the moment, there is still no problem in sustaining it for a year and a half. By then, he will have another way to make a living.
It's been a while since He Baozheng's son-in-law He Changgui came back, and Lao He didn't dare to let him get involved in mosquito control, for fear that this kid would be greedy for temporary gain and give up the formula to others. He was asked to make bamboo weaving with his daughter, and he did it for two days. He heard from his daughter that when she came home, she would complain every day that the work was too hard and tiring. Her hands were covered with blisters from the bamboo threads inserted into her hands. She was so resentful that she would talk to Yu'e at every turn. quarrel. Yu'e couldn't resist her husband, so she told He Baozheng in private. He Baozheng was trembling with anger and just cursed: "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit, and mud can't hold up a wall!"
But Qi Guiqi, there is no place to put this piece of mud now. After all, He Baozheng still felt sorry for these juniors, so he discussed the issue with Liang Chuan privately with an old face. It's better to meet by chance than chance. Zhao Xiaopin wanted a buddy, so he sent this boy to him. Out of sight, out of mind! With two people working together, it's ready to open.
"I will introduce someone to you. You go to Lao He and ask him to arrange a man for you. From now on, you will work together. Don't worry about the person I introduced to you. If he doesn't obey you, let him go. You know? !”
To be honest, he didn't think highly of this kid He Changgui. Liang Chuan felt uncomfortable with him from the bottom of his heart. At any time, the second and fifth boys were an unpleasant figure. What kind of person could he be who could betray even his relatives? Good guy? But for now, even if He Baozheng is sold as a favor, it's just a matter of smooth sailing.
"I understand, boss." Zhao Xiaopin turned around and was about to leave, but Liang Chuan stopped him.
"Do you have money on hand now? What can you do without money?" Liang Chuan was a little curious. This guy is really down-to-earth and doesn't even ask for his own capital to invest in shares.
Zhao Xiaopin looked back and smiled, a bit honest, "My uncle just gave me some money, and he gave me a little more, a total of thirty guan, that's enough!"
Liang Chuan was really convinced by these people. They were all frank men, but this society was often so harsh on frank people.
Before Zhao Xiaopin walked out of the door, He Baozheng came to the door with the wind and dust at his feet.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" Zhao Xiaopin waited aside knowingly.
Liang Chuan told Zhao Xiaopin's idea, and the two of them hit it off immediately. This silverfish was not easy to worry about when he came back. He was a complete burden. It was just right to follow Xiao Pin. Xiao Pin was a smart man, so he could cure this lazy guy!
"Small piece, come with me later, I'll make arrangements!" He Baozheng's chest slapped loudly.
"Sanlang, that's it. Several people from the village came to ask about the school today..."
Liang Chuan knew this was the case. Everyone could distinguish the seriousness of the matter. The villagers were not fools. They were all thinking about anything that was beneficial to them!
"Don't worry, Lao He. You go and gather everyone. Only those who really want to study will come. I will hold an opening ceremony under the camphor tree tomorrow and explain the rules of the school to them in person, so as not to say that I am Liang Chuan in the future. You are so inhumane!"
