Although the two have expressed their hearts to each other, Wei Xi has never been clingy.She has many plans to implement one by one, and she also knows that Zong Xu, as the king of Yue, will only be busier than her.Just when Zong Xu thought that Wei Xi would invite him out to eat, drink, and enjoy the scenery, he couldn't wait for anyone for a long time, and when he inquired, he found out that the person had already run outside Shangjing City.Facing Luo Sheng's teasing gaze after inquiring, Zong Xu said: "Wei Xi is checking the quality of the newly repaired pavement.The newly built road is more than six feet wide and can accommodate three horse-drawn carriages in parallel, and the road surface is white, and it looks quite smooth at first glance.Zhao Siping led everyone to the side, watching with some apprehension as Wei Xi took a small hammer and knocked here and there.After a while, Wei Xi handed the hammer to Xiao Qi, stood up, and nodded at him, "Old Zhao is really experienced, and this road is very strong." ”Zhao Siping breathed a sigh of relief, arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to answer Miss Weisan's voice Zhao Lao, you can call me Zhao Craftsman." ”Wei Xi: "Then I'll call you Zhao Gong." ”Zhao Siping: "Okay." ”Craftsmen and craftsmen, it is almost the same whether they are called workers or craftsmen, and Miss Wei San is happy.After all, the road had been repaired, and they had taken the silver, which was almost as much as they had earned in two years, and it was time for them to leave.Just as he was thinking like this, he heard Wei Xi ask, "I wonder if Zhao Gong is willing to take everyone to sign a long-term contract with me?"
”Zhao Siping was at a loss for a moment, "Long-term contract?
”Wei Xi nodded, "I still have a lot of roads to repair here in the next year, I wonder if Zhao Gong and you are free?"
For the next year, only my family's road was built. ”Zhao Siping will understand this, he is naturally willing, he doesn't have to look for work everywhere to do odd jobs, the salary is quite good, if you miss such a good thing, where to find it.But once this long-term contract is signed, it means that this year's time, they must not be as free as they were when they worked odd jobs before, and if the master commands them, they will not be able to return even if they pass by the door.He doesn't care about himself, but his own thoughts don't represent the thoughts of everyone behind him."
Miss Weisan, if you sign a long-term contract, we people will have to discuss it."
Wei Xi expressed his understanding, "If you are willing to stay, you will have food and accommodation, the contract will end, and there will be a red envelope." ”Zhao Siping almost nodded directly when he heard this.Twenty people walked aside and discussed it carefully for a while, although there was some resistance to signing a long-term contract, but no one could give up so much salary ruthlessly, and in the end, everyone was willing to stay.Wei Xi is happy to see this, so that he doesn't have to find someone again.When I returned to Mengjia Village, it was already noon, and everyone else went to the people's house next to me to eat, and Wei Xi left Zhao Siping alone.Zhao Siping will see that Wei Xi is treating his parents as if he is eating and closing, "I don't know what else Miss Wei San commands?"
”Wei Xi said: "Can Zhao Gong know a craftsman who can build a house?"
”She thought that since they were all craftsmen, it was very likely that they knew each other.If there is, it will save Wei San to look for people everywhere.As for his father, Wei Xi didn't want to bother again and again.Zhao Siping: "I also know a few, they all worked together in the Ministry of Industry at the beginning, and they also retired a few years ago." ”Speaking of this, he couldn't help but guess, "Miss Weisan still needs craftsmen who can build houses, and if necessary, the old man can help Miss Weisan find them." ”This was really a surprise for Wei Xi, and he nodded immediately, "Then there will be Lao Zhaogong."
However, if they want to come, they also have to sign a one-year long contract with Zhao Gong and you, and other treatment is the same. ”"The old man understands."
As soon as Zhao Siping left, Xiao Ba led a cool-looking woman in a tray and walked in, "Miss, it's time to eat." ”Xiao Qi took the tray in the woman's hand, and the two of them quickly laid out the dishes together, Wei Xi looked at the woman standing in the rules, "Who is this?"
”"Lin Xiaocao has seen Miss Wei San, the woman is the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, and this time I came here to thank Miss Wei San for giving us the work of the people in the village, so that the whole village has a lively and lively New Year."
Seeing that the people looked good and spoke neatly, Wei Xi's eyebrows bent, "I also have to thank the people of Mengjia Village, the road is well repaired." ”Lin Xiaocao said with a smile: "Miss Weisan has a lot of wages, and the food and meat provided are provided, we have to work hard anymore, and we will be ashamed of the silver in our hands and the meat in our mouths." ”Wei Xi felt that the village chief of Mengjia Village probably deliberately let his daughter-in-law come over, and she was too good at talking."
Lin Niangzi, you go back and ask the village chief, if the people of your village are still willing to work for me, you can come over after lunch and report your name to Xiao Qi, but this time the work time is much longer, almost a year, and there are many people, tentatively two hundred, plus twenty cooks who can cook, if you want any relatives near your village, you can also ask."
Lin Xiaocao's eyes were already lit up, and he nodded without thinking about it, "Okay, then I'll mention it to my father-in-law when I go back."
Miss Weisan, you eat first, and the women will go back. ”Wei Xi waved his hand at her: "Mrs.
Lin walks slowly." ”Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba set up the meal on the other table, and when Lin Xiaocao left, Xiao Bafang said: "Miss, this Lin Xiaocao should have asked this on purpose, after all, Wei San had previously summoned so many people to go to the Northern Foot Wilderness to eliminate the weeds, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that you were going to do something in the Northern Foothills." ”"That's right," Wei Xi sandwiched a chopsticks of crispy local chicken, "This is the clever way of the village chief, after all, I am a girl's family, even if he has the idea of hoping that the village people will continue to work for me, it is not easy to come over and ask me directly, so he called his daughter-in-law, and took the opportunity to deliver food to explore the wind."
They want to earn money to support their families, and I need manpower here, so there's nothing to mind. ”Xiao Hachi nodded, and glanced at the chicken and fish meat on her and Xiao Qi's side, "That village chief can be regarded as a blood bank." ”I'm afraid that they are reluctant to eat this home-grown chicken.This time, she gave her a pot of stew.Wei Xi took a bite of rice, "After all, it's not easy for them to find a job, but for me, as long as I have money in my hand, I can find people who can work, and I want as many as I want." ”Hachi: "So this is reluctant to let the child trap the wolf." ”Xiao Qi: "Ahem!
”She raised her head and glared at Senior Sister Han, "Hurry up and eat yours!"
”Wei Xi shook his head and smiled.But this local chicken is really good.Wei Xi ate and wandered around the courtyard for a while before going to take a lunch break.When I woke up, I listened to a lot of low voices outside.She looked out through the window and saw a string of heads outside the door, but fortunately, there were guards restraining her, and no one spoke loudly, only whispering her name when she walked to the table where Xiao Qi was sitting.Hachi walked in from outside the door, "Miss, these people are all here to sign up."
and from Mengjia Village, and some from nearby villages.Not long after you fell asleep, people started coming. ”Wei Xi: "That village chief and old man are really resolute!"
”said that he had eaten, and he had eaten, without a little delay.Half an hour later, Xiao Qi came back with a booklet, "Miss, the number of people who signed up is a bit excessive, two hundred and ten."
There are also 30 chefs who have signed up, and I will choose 20 of them. ”Wei Xi nodded, "Yes."
If you are not afraid of too many people, you are afraid that there will not be enough people. ”Xiao Qi: ""You probably don't have any points for your generosity.Weisan didn't return until late afternoon.He first heard from Xiao Qi about what Wei Xi had done that day, and then he went in to report the progress of weeding.Seeing his dusty appearance, Wei Xi couldn't bear to ask him how the house and the sand table were going, and waved his hand to let people go down to eat and rest.The other side.Zhao Siping also found his old friend's home.The old friend's surname is Li, a famous cow, and the family has been a craftsman for generations.Li Niu gave birth to three sons, but his position in the Ministry of Industry could only be left to one son, and when he reached his age, he gave it to the eldest son who had already married his daughter-in-law.But there are also second sons and younger sons who have not even been able to marry their daughters-in-law, because after Li Niu came out of the Ministry of Industry, he took his second son and younger son to do odd jobs everywhere, and the money earned barely subsidized the family.When Zhao Siping passed, the iron general at home guarded the door, and he squatted at the door until it was dark, and then waited until he came back with his two sons and was tired of his old friend."
Brother Zhao," Li Niu was also stunned when he saw Zhao Siping, and hurriedly opened the door to invite people to his house, first instructed his two sons to boil water, "I heard that you were not recruited by nobles to build a road outside the city, why did you come back now, and the road was repaired?"
”Zhao Siping will come to Li Niu because he knows his personality, and he is not ready to beat around the bush, "The road has been repaired, but I came here this time to discuss good things with Brother Li." ”"What's good?"
Li Niu glanced at the four walls of his family, "We are almost out of food, what good can we do." ”"It's a really good thing."
Zhao Siping leaned forward, "Brother Li, do you know how much silver we earned by building the road this time?"
”Li Niu was attracted by his mysterious expression, and also became curious, "How much?"
”"It's a full three taels of silver."
Li Niu gasped, "So much?
I remember how long it took me to fix it. ”"Naturally, the nobles are generous.Brother Li, now the nobleman is still looking for a craftsman who can build a house, and the salary is not low, do you want to go?
”Li Niu's eyes lit up, "Then it doesn't need to be said, naturally I think about it." ”"But the nobles also have requirements, you have to sign a one-year long contract, but this year's food and accommodation are all-inclusive, and when the contract is full, there will be a red envelope.""
Then go too, what is the one-year long deed."
Li Niu slapped his thigh, and didn't think about agreeing directly, "That's it, my two boys?"
”"They are all brought with them, there are a lot of people who are nobles, Brother Li, if you have someone you know, you have to have good character and good craftsmanship, you can come.""
Then I'll take you for a walk, I know a few old fellows, and their skills are no worse than mine.Brother Zhao, if you are grateful, brother will not say anything, and when you make money, I will invite you to drink. ”As soon as the two of them summed it up, they stopped drinking the water, and left the brothers who were busy boiling water and went out.After a night of running, the two successfully pulled a team of nearly 30 people out.However, some of them still had unfinished work, and finally agreed to gather at Li Niu's house the day after tomorrow, and then rush to Mengjia Village together.At noon on the third day, Wei Xi saw the construction team headed by Li Niu.At this time, the construction team of Taoyuan Town is preliminarily alive.------ digression------ third watch at nine o'clock in the morning, babies
