Selling shoes?

They just made a pair of wooden shoes, and someone came to sell them at a high price, which was a bit of a coincidence.

But this question, as well as the price, it seems that someone has taken a fancy to the business opportunities in the early morning?

Sun Laosi strongly refused, but the other party didn't care, the man squeezed in, shook a string of shoes in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't mind, it's only the first day, your shoes are like this, and you will have to walk for a full month! What are you going to do? Do you walk barefoot? Do you still want your feet?"

Xu Wen looked at his hands, all straw sandals, medium quality, a little better than the pair Sun Laosi wore before, but similar to the most common ones on the street.

That kind of shoes, which are sold for about eight to ten copper coins on the street, are sold by this person here, at least five times more, isn't it a money grab?

However, this person seems to be a rookie craftsman with them, and he thought about the problem of shoes before he went on the road, and he brought so many to sell them, which can be regarded as quite painstaking.

The straw sandals are not heavy, but the luggage is very heavy, and the ants are all worse, this person is also considered a ...... Making hard-earned money?

However, with a profit of 500 percent, this price is too high.

"Don't buy it, don't buy it!" Sun Laosi didn't have a good mouth, so he didn't say much to him, just waved his hand and insisted on it.

As a result, the man's eyes moved downward, and he saw his feet first: "No wonder you don't buy it, it turns out that there are shoes." Hey, your shoes look good, they're special, lift them up and let me see the bottom?"

He said as he squatted down, reaching for his shoes to take off his shoes.

"!" Sun Laosi took off his shoes and hugged them into his arms, not even letting him see a shoelace, and drove him out in disgust.

"I know this man. After the shack was quiet again, Tian Jifeng looked at the man's back and said.

"Changping Mansion, called Qiao Zhi, has average craftsmanship, and has a lot of heart and eyes, and if you are not careful, you will be yin by him. If you're doing the right thing, you shouldn't talk to him too much, just kick him out!"

"I saved it. Hmph, I like to do business so much, what kind of craftsman is it, how good is it to be a merchant?" Sun Laosi mocked, and there was obvious disdain when he talked about merchants.

The status of craftsmen is very low, but underneath this, there is still a new chain of discrimination.

Xu Wen didn't say anything, but at this time, a voice sounded outside, and a voice full of breath shouted: "All the craftsmen obey the order, immediately start to within ten breaths, and all gather at the side of the official road, there must be no mistake!"

When the words fell, the voice began to count down, "ten, nine, eight, seven......" and counted one breath at a time, and gradually counted down one after another.

Xu Wen has experienced university military training, and when he heard this voice, he immediately jumped up like a conditioned reflex, raised his feet and rushed out.

Tian Jifeng and the others hadn't come back to their senses yet, and subconsciously followed.

Outside was their campsite, which was now full of shacks, irregular, and looked in disarray.

The incident happened suddenly, most of the people were stupid next to the shack, and some people had dry cakes in their mouths, and when they saw Xu Wen running over, not only did they not move, but they also chewed blankly, and stuffed the bread into their mouths.

Only a few people reacted and were running out, and some people saw Xu Wen's movements and immediately ran along.

In the end, Xu asked them to be the first to reach the designated position, and when they counted down to "one", they only reached less than one-fifth in total.

Xu Wen's gaze swept around, and he noticed something.

The vast majority of these fifths are young rookie craftsmen, and only a few are in the middle of the age.

And the faces of these middle-aged and middle-aged craftsmen were also full of confusion, and they didn't understand what was going on.

Obviously, there was no such situation on the way they served before, it was peculiar to this time.

Next to the official road stood a craftsman official, looking at them with his hands behind his back. He looked like he was smiling, although the people who came first arrived on time, but they chuckled in their hearts, and subconsciously began to sympathize with those who came late.

After counting to one, the voice in the craftsman's mouth still did not stop, and he counted from the beginning.

When the count reached thirty, the men were halfway there, and when they had counted seventy-five, all the men had arrived, and the black heads were joined together at the edge of the woods.

When the people arrived, the craftsman stopped counting, and his eyes passed over them.

Xu asked a few people to come first and stand at the front.

Jiang Wangfeng and Xu San's reaction was also relatively fast, and they arrived about the third to the bottom, standing not too far behind Xu Wen. The shoe-seller guy named Qiao Zhi arrived earlier, right behind Xu Wen.

"The reason why I called you here is because I found that we were in too much of a hurry and forgot to send something. The craftsman paced and walked to the side, where there was a box, which Xu Wen had noticed early in the morning.

He still had a smile on his face, and his tone was unhurried, and it didn't sound like a mistake at all, but rather deliberate.

The craftsman bent down to open the lid of the box, and the silver moonlight illuminated the contents of the box.

Neatly stacked were stacks of wooden cards, in the shape of tokens, with something carved on them, and it was impossible to see what they were.

"Everyone's luck, this year the imperial court has tried out a set of rules for service, and the first one was used on you. This service is not counted by year, but by the division of work. The craftsman was full of energy, and the sound pierced the night sky and reached everyone's ears.

Labor?

This word is too familiar, and Xu Wen's expression is slightly strange.

Others didn't feel that way, but there was a slight commotion.

The new system was put on trial, and they were the first to do so, and it is not yet known whether it will be a blessing or a curse.

"The rules are very simple, this time to serve in the Western Desert, each person needs to save up to 3,000 points before they can end their service and return to their hometown. If you save enough work points in advance, you can leave early. The score has not been enough, so stay in the West Desert for a long time. The craftsman looked around at them and said clearly.

Sounds fair......

Some people's hearts immediately burned.

The Western Desert is one of the most remote places in the Great Zhou, far from the south of the Yangtze River. If it weren't for the last resort, who would want to leave Jiangnan and go to the Western Desert? Of course, it would be a good thing to have the opportunity to come back early!

"How do you earn your work?" someone asked aloud, boldly.

"That's a good question, there are three major items in the work. The craftsman stretched out three fingers, "First, daily rules." Points will be added for those who follow the rules, and points will be deducted for those who do not follow the rules. For example, if you speak loudly without permission, two points will be deducted. ”

He said with a smile and glanced at the man. The man was deducted two points when he went out, and his face changed instantly. He opened his mouth and was about to protest loudly, but his companion next to him came back to his senses first and quickly pulled his sleeve.

"Your name is Huang Feng, right? Yes, our surname is also Huang, and we just happen to have a family. The craftsman stretched out his hand, touched a notebook from nowhere, clicked on Huang Feng's name, and wrote two drawings with a pen.

There is no doubt that this is a dismount, and everyone is instantly silent, and they dare not say a word.

"The second item is to do the work piecework. This will not officially start until you get to the place. There are other details for this item, which will be announced in detail later. ”

"The third item, special scoring. From now until the process of service, there will be some special activities from time to time, with extra points added or deducted. Tonight's this—one of them. Just now the countdown of ten breaths, when you arrive here, you can add a few points. ”

And what about the late?

At this point, no one was silent, but almost everyone was asking the question in their hearts.

"If it's late, I'm sorry, so I'll have to deduct points. If you are a few minutes late, you will be deducted a few points. Count them one by one, and you must not violate the rules. ”

Huang Jiangguan said slowly, smiling very happily.
