In ancient times, large families generally consisted of several classes.

The first place must be the master and the master's family, followed by the big housekeeper, of course, some big families also have the master's staff, both of which belong to the master's right-hand man, and their status is second only to the master's family, and then there are personal maids and attendants, such as Xiaocui who follows Wang Wenxiu.

These classes are treated better.

In addition to cleaning the yard with the maid and responsible for the living life of the master, the house worker also has to guard the entire yard, and the usual food is also very general, and the big fish and meat can only be eaten during the New Year's festival or when the host does something happy.

As for the lowest-class long-term and short-term workers, needless to say, they are outsiders, and it is already very good to be able to fool around and eat enough.

Long-term and short-term work will not be mentioned for the time being.

To a certain extent, the family and the yard worker are the most loyal "hired workers" of a big family, because in ancient times, the family and the head of the family had a certain personal dependence relationship, and they worked in a big family, which was to eat the food of their children and grandchildren.

Today, Wang Chen experienced the benefits of being a master for the first time.

New house.

Early in the morning, he had just gotten up.

Immediately, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old long-faced family member who had been waiting for a long time greeted him, and Wang Chen remembered that this long-faced family member was called Wu Qi.

Wu Qi stepped forward and said, "Master, what kind of clothes are you wearing today?"

"The cyan one. Wang Chen said casually with a yawn.

Wu Qi immediately ran to the side of the closet and took out the cyan robe, this kind of thing should have been done by a personal maid, but Wang Chen didn't expect this stubble, Wang Yuncang and the others simply didn't mention it, so they arranged for Wu Qi to come over and serve Wang Chen.

After taking the clothes, Wu Qi came to the side of the bed, holding the clothes in both hands and holding them high, "Master, please change your clothes." ”

Wang Chen, who originally wanted to reach out and take what he was wearing, was stunned, except when he was a child, he basically didn't be served and wore clothes, but thinking of experiencing the life of ancient nobles in the future, he still said "um" and reached out to put his clothes on.

While Wang Chen was buttoning up, Wu Qi went out.

Wang Chen finished dressing unhurriedly and prepared to go out to brush his teeth and wash his face.

As soon as he stepped up, Wu Qi and another chubby family, Ding Huaan, each came in with a wooden basin.

Wu Qi handed over the toothbrush cup and the toothbrush that squeezed the toothpaste, "Master, please wash." ”

Wang Chen took it, brushed his teeth, and then washed his face.

After washing, Hua An and Wu Qi immediately withdrew with their things.

Wang Chen pondered for a moment, it was time to have breakfast, in fact, in the Northern Song Dynasty, it didn't matter if he ate or not, he wouldn't be hungry, eating breakfast was just instinct.

However, as soon as they finished thinking about it, Wu Qi and Hua An came in with three or five more family members, who were carrying plates and porridge full of dishes in their hands, and they moved quickly and put all the breakfast on the small round table in the house.

Wang Chen was stunned, "What is this for?"

Wu Qi stepped forward with a smile and said, "I'll wait for the master to eat." ”

Wang Chen was a little speechless, pointing to the porridge and dishes: "Then you can't take it from my house, it's all the smell of vegetables." ”

Wu Qi was a little overwhelmed and said, "But when I was in the Jin Mansion before, this is how Jin Yuanwai dined. ”

Wang Chen, who was about to say something, suddenly thought of one thing, in ancient times, large families generally adopted a separate meal system, everyone ate in their own room, and only banquets and guests would go to the hall or other pick-up locations, and the real meal system would not become the mainstream until the economy of the Song Dynasty was thoroughly developed.

He simply didn't bother anymore, sat on the edge of the table and picked up the chopsticks, and said in his mouth: "You don't have to send food to my room in the future, and I will be ordered to go down, and then eat three meals a day in the hall, breakfast at the beginning of the morning, lunch at the beginning of the afternoon, and dinner at the middle of the day." ”

"I'll talk to the butler later. Wu Qi agreed, and the big butler in his mouth meant Wang Yuncang.

Wang Chen hummed, didn't speak again, and casually picked up a few mouthfuls of porridge and ate some side dishes.

After eating, Wu Qi took three or five people to quickly take out the vegetable plate and porridge bowl.

After a full separation, Wang Chen felt that he was a little corrupt.

Three or five people, seven or eight dishes just to serve themselves for breakfast?

It's so corrupt!

This is too feudal!

That's really ...... That's great!

Well, Wang Chen finally knew the benefits of being a "master" and experienced the feeling of being truly served, and he enjoyed it.

This is the life that rich people should live.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

Then, Wang Yuncang's voice came, "Brother Chen, the third brother and Jobs are back, they want to see you." ”

Wang Chen shouted to the outside world: "Let them in." ”

The door creaked open, and Wang Yuncang walked in with Wang Saburo and Jobs.

A few days ago, Wang Chen instructed Wang Dalang and them to go to Taizhou, Yangzhou and Chuzhou to rent shops, and Wang Dalang came back yesterday and brought back the rental contract by the way.

Now Wang Saburo and Jobs should be the same.

Sure enough, Wang Yuncang said: "The third brother and Jobs rented a shop in the most prosperous area of Yangzhou City, and spent 1,500 and 500 yuan respectively. ”

Wang Chen sighed, "Why is the price so bad?"

"Mr. Wang. Wang Sanlang hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Yangzhou is the richest place on Huainan East Road, and the rent of the shop is very expensive. As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is the lease contract, can you take a look?"

Wang Chen took a look, and the various terms and annual rent of the shop were 1,500 yuan, "Okay, I know." ”

Jobs also stepped forward at the right time and said: "Owner, this is my lease contract in Chuzhou. ”

Wang Chen also looked at it, and there was no problem.

Putting away the rental contract, he said to Wang Yuncang: "San Lang and Jobs are tired and tired, and I will go to the account office to pay them twenty yuan later." ”

"Thank you, owner. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. ”

The two of them wept gratefully.

In ancient times, it was very tiring to travel long distances, unlike modern society, where there were airplanes, trains, and cars.

Like Wang Sanlang and Jobs, although they have little donkeys to travel, they are very tired from riding donkeys for a long time, so Wang Chen naturally wants to commend them.

After saying something, Wang Sanlang and Jobs retired.

Wang Chen glanced at Wang Yuncang, "Didn't you ask you to go to the account room to give each of them twenty yuan?"

"I'll go later. A smile appeared on Wang Yuncang's obscene face, "The Buddha beads you asked for were completed last night, and it was getting late at that time, so I didn't report it for fear of making you sleep." ”

Yo, the handball is finished?

I've been waiting for so many days, isn't it just waiting for the handbeads to be completed?

Wang Chen immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

……

Rent the yard.

Wang Chen ran in and saw one or twenty carpenters at the door, and as for the other carpenters who were nowhere to be seen, it was Wang Yuncang who settled the account with them and left.

Under the leadership of the carpenter, he came to the warehouse where the small leaf red sandalwood hand beads were stacked.

Push the door in.

Pieces of small-leaved red sandalwood hand beads are stacked in three or four categories.

Wang Chen asked, "How many strings are there?"

Wang Yuncang, who followed behind, reported: "More than 3,000 catties of rosewood have made a total of 3,527 strings. He pointed from right to left and said, "According to the carpenters, the three hundred and fifteen strings of Buddhist beads on the far right are relatively poor, slightly less oily, the middle one is more oily, two thousand two hundred and twenty-nine strings, and the left is dotted with a little yellow star and water ripples, a total of five hundred and fifty-three strings, and the remaining four hundred and thirty strings are full of yellow stars and oily Buddha beads full of water lines." ”

After listening, Wang Chen probably had a point in his heart, turned his head and said, "Qian San and that group of carpenters are willing to stay and work as long-term workers?"

"Five times a month, how can they not be happy?" Wang Yuncang felt sorry for the money and said: "Mr. Wang, let me say more, like their group of carpenters, even if we open three times a month, they will definitely stay, will the five times the money be too high?"

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Do you think they are not worth five times?"

"It's definitely not worth it, isn't it just a group of carpenters, if you want, I can find dozens of them on the street casually. Wang Yuncang said as a matter of course.

Wang Chen didn't speak.

Worth?

Do you know what concept a carpenter of Qian San's level puts in modern society?

That's going to cost a lot of money to hire people!

The annual salary is at least two or three hundred thousand, and the most is as high as one million!

According to the purchasing power of copper coins in the Northern Song Dynasty today, he only needs to pay 30 or 60 yuan a year, which is equivalent to more than 60,000 yuan of RMB, saving a lot of money!

Wang Chen didn't know how good the skills of other people were, but since he could be left by Wang Yuncang, he must not be much different from Qian San's level.

What level is Qian San? Just looking at his craftsmanship in carving swallows, in modern society, he basically belongs to the top wood carving masters!

I only need to spend 1,200 yuan every year, that is, 1.2 million yuan, to have more than 20 top wood carving masters to serve me, looking at the entire Chinese wood carving industry I dare not imagine!

Wang Chen didn't explain anything to Wang Yuncang, but just told him and Qian San and others to go to the government to sign a labor red deed.

Wait until Wang Yuncang leaves with Qian San and the others.

He just put all the small leaves and red sandalwood hand beads in the room into the mysterious space.

More than 3,000 strings of small leaf red sandalwood hand beads, including more than 400 strings full of stars and water lines, made a fortune!

Wang Chen was excited.

I counted the harvest of this visit to the Northern Song Dynasty in the space.

There are more than 3,000 strings of small leaf red sandalwood hand beads, one piece of light jelly, three or four other Qingtian stones, and two hundred catties of Hainan Huanghuali material!

It's almost time to go back to modern times and exchange these things for money.

In addition, the preparation of the beer-making process and the equipment required for the brewery, as well as the need to train the family with modern military training methods, forced him to return to modern times.

Anyway, there is nothing to do here in the Northern Song Dynasty for the time being.

Let's go back first, but I have to explain things to Wang Yuncang before I go back.

……

Wang Ji.

Wang Chen came here to wait for Wang Yuncang to come back.

The long-term workers are different from the family, they do not need accommodation, as for the place of work, he has thought about it, the rented yard will not expire for more than half a year, and the carpenters will be temporarily arranged to work in it.

Here, Ji Wuniang came up with tea, "Mr. Wang, our Wang Ji has booked out the goods every month, and we have nothing to do here, do you think you can arrange something else for us?"

Wang Chen thought about it, "Don't arrange other work, you still stay in Wang Ji, I'll add some new things when I go back, and you will be responsible for introducing them to the guest officers at that time." ”

Ji Wuniang said very well-behaved: "Hey." ”

Qiongqiong and Cuihua sat there embroidering.

Xu Jiang, Zhang Qing and Li Xiao sat lazily on their chairs and chatted about interesting things in Tongzhou City.

On the contrary, the three sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren of Wang Yuncang, the "No. 2 person" of Wang Ji, worked very hard, stockpiled the goods, and cleaned the house.

Ji Wuniang and others are cheap slaves, and the embroideries are all embroidered for Wang Chen, it is reasonable to say, Wang Yuncang's family members are working, and Wang Chen is quite satisfied, but he is a little angry when he sees Xu Jiang and Zhang Qing and their lazy appearance.

These pranksters, since they restored their good status, have become lazier than before.

Wang Chen thought about it and shouted, "Xu Jiang, come here." ”

Xu Jiang stopped talking to Zhang Qing and the others, trotted to the counter, and showed a smile, "Mr. Wang, what do you have to order? I'll go and finish it right away." ”

Wang Chen blinked and said, "Do you want to make more money and eat big fish and meat at every meal?"

Hearing more money and big fish and meat, Xu Jiang's eyes lit up, "I want to!

Now the five pranksters are Wang Ji Nursing Home, with a monthly salary of two yuan, including food and housing, which is a relatively good treatment, but it can't reach the point of big fish and meat at every meal.

Wang Chen thought about finding something to do for them, and deliberately tempted: "You all know that I have recruited a hundred family members in the past two days, and I want to divide a hundred family members into five queues, with the five of you serving as captains, if you are willing, the monthly monthly salary will be increased to six yuan, and in addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner will have fish and meat with the family members, how about it, are you willing to do it?"

This is a huge difference for Xu Jiang and others, how can they not agree?

Zhang Qing, Li Xiao and others, who were listening next to them, shouted one by one before Xu Jiang could speak.

"Yes, yes!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for cultivating!"

"Hah, we can manage people too?"

A few splashes beaming.

Wang Chen showed a sinister smile, "Okay, I'm going to go out for a few days, and when I come back, you will go back to the courtyard to be the captain of the house." ”

There are big fish and big meat.

Ordinary family members have five yuan a month, and since they are the captain, there is nothing wrong with six dollars.

All this seems to be very beneficial to Xu Jiang and others.

However, Wang Chen's bad intentions are not here at all, because he has thought about carrying out modern military training for the family members, and the training intensity must be very large, without big fish and meat to supplement nutrition, the family members can't stand it, the salary is low, and no one is willing to suffer this crime, so he simply assured Xu Jiang and others that the salary is high and the treatment is good.

If the training is intense, then it will naturally be very hard.

And if Xu Jiang and others want to be the captain of the house, it will be even harder.

Wang Chen can imagine how these five splashes will be miserable when they arrive, well, looking back, these splashes are still lazy or not.

As soon as he finished saying something, Wang Yuncang came back.

Wang Chen called him to the counter, "I'm going to go out these days, you take care of the yard and Wang Ji's work." ”

"Okay, Mr. Wang. Wang Yuncang said.

Wang Chen instructed again: "You find someone to clean up Linjia Town, and by the way, find more bricklayers and carpenters to come back, and I will rebuild the house there." ”

Wang Yuncang sighed, "Isn't it okay to build a house in the original Linjia Town, but thousands of people have died over there, although the corpses have been transported away by the government, but the lonely soul and wild ghost ......."

"There are so many lonely ghosts in the world. Wang Chen interrupted: "You ask the bricklayers and carpenters how much it will cost if I want to build a house in the entire Linjia Town." ”

"What size of house do you want to build?" Wang Yuncang asked: "If it is like the scale of our newly bought house, Linjia Town has a radius of 6,000 acres, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to build it without a few million." ”

Xu Jiang, who was leaning on the edge of the counter, added, "The ancestral house of the Lin family covers an area of fifty acres and cost four hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver to build, of course, the ancestral house of the Lin family belongs to a mansion, and the price is normal, if it is an ordinary house, the house of fifty acres of land costs twenty or thirty thousand yuan, I have worked as a bricklayer for a while, and it is estimated that it will take no less than three million yuan to build such a large area of Lin Family Town, after all, six thousand acres of land are placed over there." ”

it!

So much money?

Wang Chen was a little confused, he originally thought that he was worth nearly 200,000 yuan, but when he heard them say this, he realized that it was impossible for the money on hand to transform all the 6,000 acres of land in Linjia Town into a factory.

He thought about it, even if he went bankrupt, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Wang Chen had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, "Let's build a house with a hundred acres of land first." "One hundred acres in the Song Dynasty is almost equal to 65,000 square meters, even if it is put into modern society, it can be regarded as a relatively large factory, which is enough.

Suddenly shrunk sixty times, Wang Yuncang almost fainted, sweated and said: "That's much simpler, I find hundreds of craftsmen, it should be able to be completed within a year." ”

Wang Chen asked, "If I recruit 5,000 craftsmen, how long will it take to complete it?"

"Five thousand is a bit of a waste. Wang Yuncang suggested: "Building is not about the more people the better, after all, there are so many jobs, and the progress can be faster if there are 5,000, but it will take about three months, which is not much different from recruiting 2,000 craftsmen." ”

Wang Chen just wanted to open the brewery as soon as possible, and once the brewery was opened, it would not be easy to return to the original cost at that time? Waste two or three times the salary, just waste it, he confirmed: "Just recruit me 2,000 craftsmen." ”

The salary is at least 18,000 yuan!

Counting the building materials, I'm afraid that if I don't have to pay thirty or forty thousand yuan, buddy will bleed heavily this time!

Forget it, if you want to develop, you have to be willing to invest.

After explaining the matter, Wang Chen was ready to return to modern society, and he didn't know how much the things he brought back this time could be sold for, hoping to have more.
