Wen Xiaochuan obviously thought of this and said to Lu Jing, "It's not easy to hire people here. Except for me, an idler, the rest are basically focused on cultivation, and most of them are children of aristocratic families, or have masters." From a famous family, even if they are short of money, they are unlikely to dig ginseng for you. By the way, how much do you plan to pay?"
"Two hundred taels a day, if that's not enough, then three hundred taels." Lu Jing gritted his teeth.
Even though Wen Xiaochuan had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, he couldn't help but gasped when he heard the price. The work Lu Jing mentioned could basically be done by one person. After working for three days, he could get almost a thousand taels of silver. This money is too good to make.
This isn't about digging for ginseng, it's like digging for silver.
However, the fact that Lu Jing was able to offer this price also showed that the money he could earn from his ginseng fields was much higher than the labor fee.
This also made Wen Xiaochuan secretly click his tongue, and at the same time his heart trembled.
No way, we haven't seen each other for just a few days, why is this guy in front of me suddenly going to get out of poverty and become rich?
She had just hung up the bait here. Could it be that the fish were already full and were going to swim elsewhere.
Thinking of this, Wen Xiaochuan suddenly became a little anxious, but on the surface, her expression remained unchanged. She just said curiously, "It seems that Master Lu has made a lot of money growing ginseng."
"It's not too much. The first batch probably only has more than 30,000 taels of silver."
Wen Xiaochuan's heart sank again when he heard this number, and he tentatively said, "Then Daxia Lu will no longer have to worry about money."
"What's wrong with this," Lu Jing shook his head, "The amount of silver I need is not a small amount, uh, and there is a high probability that I will need money in the future."
"Great." Wen Xiaochuan blurted out.
"Um?"
"I mean, remember the thing we talked about earlier. You asked me if there is any kind of errand where the money comes in quickly, doesn't take much time, and the money can be settled in one go. I have it on hand. There happens to be one right now. If you don’t come to me today, Mr. Lu, I plan to go to you in the afternoon.”
"Wait a minute..." Lu Jing was stunned by Wen Xiaochuan, "You want to introduce me to some money-making jobs? But am I not in charge of you now?"
"Well, your offer is very high, but in the academy, most people are not as short of money as you are, Master Lu, so relying solely on money, it is difficult to attract people who are willing to sacrifice their training time to help you dig ginseng. People." Wen Xiaochuan said leisurely.
Of course Lu Jing also knew about this problem, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Wen Xiaochuan. He originally thought that the latter's communication might be able to help him find a suitable person, but listening to Wen Xiaochuan's words, she seemed to have nothing to do.
It's not impossible to raise the price again. After all, the profit margin of Lu Jingzhong's ginseng is still very large. If it were to be raised to one thousand taels a day, he didn't believe that no one would do it, but it would be too uneconomical. He It's better to go outside and find a place to plant it.
Lu Jing was thinking about whether to go to Jinghu Valley to recruit people. After all, those paper figures looked like they were idle all day long, but money would probably be less attractive to them unless Lu Jing took out Bai Bei. .
As a result, Wen Xiaochuan changed the topic and said, "But I should still be able to find someone who is willing to dig ginseng for you, Master Lu."
"Ah, thank you very much." Lu Jing knew that there would be something else behind Wen Xiaochuan's heavy breathing, so he waited quietly for her to speak again.
Sure enough, Wen Xiaochuan continued, "Now that we've finished talking about you, Master Lu, let's talk about mine next."
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, "I thought you would help me find someone in exchange for letting me do things for you."
"Who does Mr. Lu take me for," Wen Xiaochuan said dissatisfied, "I have always regarded you, Mr. Lu, as a friend. Isn't it right for friends to help each other? I will not use this kind of thing to make a deal with you, Mr. Lu."
Although he knew that Wen Xiaochuan was retreating in order to advance, Lu Jing had to admit that it was still very comfortable to listen to her talk. This woman has a high IQ and emotional quotient, even if you know that everything she does and says has a purpose. Sexual, but there is no feeling of disgust in my heart.
Maybe this is also an ability, Lu Jing thought, and asked directly, "What kind of money-making job did you find for me?"
"Come home with me." Wen Xiaochuan said happily without going around any further after hearing this.
"Then it really doesn't take much time."
People in Sitian Prison can move freely between the nine states through [wells]. As long as they find a [well] closest to Wen Xiaochuan's home, it should take at most half a day to send her home. .
Of course, if it was really that simple, Lu Jing felt that there was no need for Wen Xiaochuan to come to him.
Seemingly sensing Lu Jing's doubts, Wen Xiaochuan continued, "My grandmother's eightieth birthday will be in two days. By then, everyone in the family will go back to spend her birthday with her. According to previous practice, each of us will Everyone will prepare a birthday gift, and grandma will also prepare a return gift.
Usually they are banknotes, and each person can receive about one thousand taels.
Although one thousand taels was nothing to Lu Jing now, he was still amazed by the Wen family's generosity.
Because there must be a lot of people going to celebrate birthdays. If everyone is given one thousand taels of silver, there will be hundreds of people who have one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Of course, the estimated value of the birthday gift the old lady received was not much lower. Thinking of this, Lu Jing couldn't help but feel slightly distracted, but Wen Xiaochuan's words soon brought his thoughts back.
"In addition to the one thousand taels of silver, my mother will also prepare a heavy gift. This is actually the real big gift." Wen Xiaochuan said, "If I remember correctly, when I was eight years old, she came to A bloody horse, two seven-foot-tall coral trees, a sword as sharp as iron, and a silver note worth two hundred thousand taels."
Lu Jing was a little surprised when he heard this, "Did she give these to your grandmother?"
"Of course not. These are also part of the return gift, but there is only one copy, and it is not divided equally. Whoever grabs it will get it."
"How to rob?" Lu Jing was also aroused by this series of treasures and rewards.
Although he can now earn a lot of money by engaging in large-scale wild cultivation of ginseng, as Wen Xiaochuan said before, this is an opportunity to get a huge sum of money without spending much time. It is difficult for anyone not to be tempted. .
Wen Xiaochuan smiled slightly and said, "My grandmother will give a question at the birthday banquet and treat everyone equally. How about it? Are you interested in giving it a try?"
