Chu Qing wrote down the materials for making bricks and gave them to Fu San, who left the palace with his belt card and went to Bei City to buy.
At noon, Tao Ruolin walked over with a smile.
"Master, take care of the food."
Chu Qing frowned: "Where can I get food for you in the palace? Didn't you bring your own dry food?"
Regarding this point, Chu Qing had asked Fu San before. There are no rules. If the employer is willing to take care of the food, he can take care of it. If he doesn't want to, he can take care of it. Whether he likes to do it or not, even if he is in charge of the food, the most he can do is boil some porridge and make some pickles. , it doesn’t cost a lot of money.
Chu Qing was not stingy. If Uncle Wu Gang came to ask, he would probably come up with one or two tricks, but he always felt a sense of rejection towards Tao Ruolin.
This kind of rejection, in addition to the other party just fanning the flames outside the palace gate, also has an indescribable feeling, that is, the woman in front of me must be very beautiful, definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, with a harmless smile on her face, she can be seen at any time. It is possible to deceive people anywhere, and such deception may not be unintentional.
"I brought it, but my boss doesn't care about the food?"
Chu Qing said angrily: "I have brought dry food, so why do I care about the food?"
"My boss is hiring a farmer from the Tao family, and he is working in the palace. He doesn't prepare food. It won't sound good if we tell him."
Chu Qing said nothing.
Don't tell me, it's just such a thing.
It wouldn't matter if it was an ordinary job. In the palace, both myself and my father had official status, and it would not sound good if people came to work and didn't even care about food.
"I don't have any money with me. When Fu San comes back, let him take someone out to buy it for you."
Tao Ruolin tilted her head and smiled even more: "When will he come back?"
"have no idea."
"Then let me put it on first, and you can return it to me tomorrow."
How could Chu Qing care about such a trivial matter? He nodded and agreed. He happened to see two figures walking in the distance. One of them was Eunuch Sun. Next to him was Huang Laosi, who had a face as deep as water. He was wearing Su Wei armor. Son of Heaven.
Chu Qing was a little worried. He just wanted to see Sun An to see if he could take advantage, but there was a perverted murderer next to Sun An, so he was a little frightened.
Tao Ruolin also saw these two people, her expression suddenly changed, a look of surprise flashed across her face, she turned around and walked away quickly.
Huang Laosi looked at the ruins of Taowu Palace and gritted his teeth.
Sun An looked sad.
Either you reveal your identity and punish Chu Qing, or you just go to the Jingyi Hall to approve the memorial and follow me wearing the armor of a guard. What a big deal.
Chu Qing finally greeted him. They were all acquaintances, and there was no need to salute. He cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Sun, General Huang."
Sun An nodded in greeting, and Huang Laosi snorted, as if someone had demolished his house.
"Eunuch Sun, I just want to ask you something, that is...does the palace take care of the food?"
Sun An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pointed at the farmers who were transporting the remaining soil: "Do you care about their food?"
"Yeah, it's all hard, haha. When I came to work, I brought a few steamed cakes with me. I thought that if there was extra food in the palace, everyone wouldn't be able to eat it..."
Before he could finish his words, Huang Laosi interrupted coldly: "Why should the palace take care of the food of the people you hired? What kind of place do you think of this palace? Who do you think you are?"
Chu Qing squinted his eyes.
The old eunuch didn't say anything. You, a security captain, are blabbering. Who do you think I am? Who do you think you are?
Chu Qing himself said it casually, thinking that he could take advantage of it. He didn't have high hopes, so he wasn't angry.
As a result, Huang Laosi seemed to be looking for trouble. He didn't know what he was thinking of. He squinted his eyes and said, "I have always heard that this big family hires ordinary people, and they pay too little not only for food, but also for wages." They are so few, I wonder how much wages you give these people."
Chu Qing shrugged: "Seventy-five articles."
"What, seventy-five cents per person?"
"Yes what's the matter."
Sun An's face also looked a little ugly.
Seventy-five cents, this salary is even less than what the imperial court hired refugees during the disaster years.
Huang Laosi was so angry that he laughed instead.
He happened to be looking for trouble with Chu Qing, and now he had an excuse to scold him: "You are the son of Chu Wensheng, and each of you only has seventy-five cents. You are so heartless that dogs will eat you!"
Chu Qing took a step back, fearing that the other party would spit foam stars in his face.
Huang Laosi didn't even have a chance to defend himself. Huang Laosi said as if he had taken a bullet: "You bastard, how dare you bully the people like this? If your father finds out, he will give you a hard time. Even though it is not the farming season, the people are still busy. Field, ask, are you using your power to oppress people and force these people to work for you?"
Chu Qing's temper also got worse. He didn't believe that Huang Laosi was still a perverted murderer and could stab himself to death on the spot. He cursed loudly: "How much money I give has nothing to do with you. It's your turn to be gibbering. "
Sun An's expression changed drastically, and Huang Laosi was stunned for a moment. No one except his father dared to talk to him like this in such a big life.
Sun An was ready. As soon as the emperor gave the order, he would shout and ask the guards to chop Chu Qing into meat paste.
Huang Laosi's chest was heaving, and his eyes were beginning to twitch.
"Okay, okay, you do not know how to live or die, how dare you do it to me..."
Chu Qing interrupted directly: "Don't say seventy-five cents a day, even sixty-five cents a day, fifty-five cents, that's still higher than the market in Beishi. I'll do whatever I'm happy to do, and it has nothing to do with you..."
Chu Qing was stunned mid-sentence, and Huang Laosi was also stunned.
"Um...you just said you dared to...me?" Chu Qing swallowed and his face began to turn pale.
Huang Laosi was dumbfounded and looked suspicious: "Seventy-five cents a day?"
Chu Qing didn't dare to breathe. Looking at Huang Laosi, he suddenly had a suspicion that the person in front of him could not be...
Seeing Chu Qing's appearance, Huang Laosi suddenly laughed: "What I'm saying is that you, a fool like you, dare to bully the people like this in the palace of the True Dragon Emperor. It turns out that it's seventy-five cents a day. I misunderstood." , It’s a misunderstanding, hahahaha, I’ve wrongly blamed you.”
Sun An was extremely impressed.
The emperor is the emperor, and this can all come true!
The banker was not far away. Although Huang Laosi felt that Chu Qing did not dare to open his eyes and tell lies, he still found it incredible and winked at Sun An. The latter ran away and went to find a banker and asked a few words in a low voice. .
After getting the exact answer, Sun An ran back and nodded: "General Huang, Mr. Chu is really generous. The salary he pays for one day is really seventy-five cents. Not only that, but even those who don't do any work and just chase and fight. The children who played were also hired, more than two hundred people.”
"Your Chu Mansion is so wealthy?"
Huang Laosi looked at Chu Qing as if he were looking at an injustice.
This new monarch is not a meat-eating idiot. He has been hanging around at the border for so long, and when he has nothing to do, he goes out for a walk in private, so he knows many things better than other ministers.
As far as the market for hiring people in the capital is concerned, the lowest is more than ten or twenty cents, and the lowest is seventy-five cents a day. This is destroying the market. Even Huang Laosi feels that Chu Qing is a taken advantage of.
