"Here comes the food!"

The second lady and the third lady led a merchant with two bamboo baskets over, and several people from the quicksand village who followed them had already gone up to open the bamboo baskets, took out the cakes inside, and began to distribute them.

"Xiang girl, this is a steamed cake, please eat. ”

The second lady flattered her with a handkerchief wrapped in a pancake for Xiang Yue, and the third lady handed over a teacup full of water.

Xiang Yue took it with a smile: "Thank you, let's eat together." ”

The crowd gathered around and ate with laughter and laughter.

"You have worked hard these days, and this time I will pay you early wages, 200 yuan per person, which is my compensation to everyone. Here I would like to give special praise to Xiao Ma and Da Hu for their loyal work, and the bounty of 500 wen for each of them. ”

Everyone cheered, the salary of 200 wen is equivalent to a high income, and construction workers like them only earn 100 wen a month, and it is strange that they are unhappy when they get 200 wen all of a sudden.

After hearing that Dahu and Xiaoma got 500 Wen, which is almost half a year's income, the exclamation of "wow" from others rose, and that envy arose.

Xiang Yue wanted to let them know the benefits of loyalty, and took out a piece of silver, plus the copper coins left over from the breakfast, and gave them all to the second and third ladies to distribute.

She moved the public rules and regulations of her previous life, and the second lady was responsible for registering everyone's names, checking attendance every day, and writing down those who didn't come and those who were lazy. When the monthly salary is paid, those who do well will be rewarded, and those who do not do well will be punished accordingly.

There are rewards and punishments, and rewards and punishments are clear in order to manage people well, and after the construction of the new building is completed, there are other places. This construction team could not be disbanded for a year and a half, and it was necessary to establish a management system.

She gave the second lady some silver taels to take care of the three meals a day for these laborers, and explained:

"Come to me directly if you have something, don't pay attention to the other people in the store. If I'm not there, you just watch and don't starve them. All expenses should be recorded so that I can check them. ”

"Xiang girl, the concubine's surname is Geng. Where is still what Mrs. Just call me Geng. The second lady didn't dare to let her be called Madame, so she hurriedly said her surname.

The third lady also hurriedly said: "The concubine's surname is Ying, call me Ying to the girl." ”

In ancient times, married women were generally referred to by their husband's surname, and their husbands were dead. It can be called Geng's or Ying's.

Xiang Yue also instructed Ying to go to Liujiazhuang. Bring the other four ladies here. Let them be familiar with the situation in the store as soon as possible, and they can start doing things as soon as possible, and a few women can't squeeze the wooden shed with those big men. Let them stay at the guest house first.

In the evening, she asked Su Chifeng to learn the formation, and it was estimated that it would take two or three days to finish the primary formation, and she didn't want them to disturb her.

Now that the main medicine for making Dahua Dan is complete, she can take Dahua Dan today, refining the internal force for nearly twenty years, plus the assistance of snake repellent technique, she is confident that she will solve the problem of Yinpo and the others in these two days.

After arranging these, Xiang Yue let them do their own things, and went to the corner with the middle-aged foreman.

She got straight to the point and said, "I need a secret room, the kind that outsiders can't see except for insiders." Foreman, are you sure you can build?"

"No, you can ask for another master. ”

The middle-aged foreman's face changed, and he seemed to be very taboo, so he refused without thinking about it.

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you. As you can see, someone was trying to arrest me the other day, and the guys in the store were uneasy and kind to me. In order to get a good night's sleep, I need a hidden secret room. ”

How could Xiang Yue not understand what he was taboo about, such a secret room that could not be known to outsiders, once it was successfully built, all the laborers involved in the construction would have only one fate, and that would be wiped out.

"Another point, I not only built a shop in Shixin, but also bought a few plots of land elsewhere, I wonder if the foreman is interested in doing it for a long time?"

The middle-aged foreman was moved when he heard the word long-term, only rich people have the financial resources to hire people to build houses, ordinary people can't even eat, let alone build houses, the houses they live in are all called to the same village to help build them, and it is impossible to have wages.

This construction worker's job is not easy to find at all, and he has to take on scattered small jobs as a last resort, and he can't earn a few copper coins a month, and it is common to be hungry for a day or two.

The high-rise building to be built by Xiangyue now is not only a large project, but also a very advantageous price.

Xiang Yue smiled and said: "Well, for a long time, we will be our own people in the future, and the salary will naturally be much higher than outside, I hope the foreman can consider it, if I don't want to, I won't force it." ”

Her smile is very beautiful, very pure, innocent, how can she not look like a person who does not count, kills people, the middle-aged foreman shook his head, and agreed to come down:

"Okay, Miss Xiang, I'll follow you in the future. The craft of the secret room, I will, it was handed down by my ancestors, and I have never dared to show it to the outside, but this time it can finally come in handy. ”

Xiang Yue saw that he agreed, and it was still an ancestral craft, knowing that it was extraordinary, he was pleasantly surprised, so he immediately took out a silver tael and handed it to him, so that he could buy the materials he needed by himself, but the accounts must be registered.

If the accounts are not clear, it is not conducive to management, and once there is a discrepancy, the brothers will turn against each other, which must be eliminated. As for the rest of the money, put it on him in case of emergency.

The middle-aged foreman held a ingot, ten silver taels, and was stunned for a long time.

It's not just that he held so many silver taels with his own hands for the first time in his life, but the main thing is that he couldn't believe that the other party believed in him so much, so he gave so many silver taels to himself without hesitation, wasn't he afraid that he would take the silver taels and run away?

What he didn't know was that Xiang Yue had the wisdom of a twenty-nine-year-old adult, and although she couldn't see people 100% accurately, she had some vision, and she was as simple as the middle-aged foreman, and in her opinion, she would never run away with money.

Even if he dared, she would have multiple ways to get the money back.

The middle-aged foreman finally came to his senses, thanked her for her attention and trust, and no longer suspected that she could not pay her wages, and this time he was determined to work with her.

The two then made some changes to the structure of the new building, which is still three floors, and there will be a hidden compartment between each floor, so that one person can enter and exit, and he can enter and listen to the movement of each floor at any time.

Xiang Yue doesn't have the heart to listen to people's privacy, who doesn't know that a place like a hotel is the easiest way to inquire about news, which is a way to collect information.

When the middle-aged foreman used a tree branch to draw a design of the secret room on the ground, Xiang Yue Dasheng was surprised that the design of the secret room actually had a visual space effect, as if there was a missing place here, but it was not visible visually at all.

It was a real surprise that she had found such a clever architect.

The middle-aged foreman seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said: "The door of the secret room involves a mechanism, and a blacksmith is needed to make parts, so a blacksmith must be hired." ”

"Organs?"

Xiang Yue thought of the scenes in the TV movie, as soon as she pressed a switch, a tunnel appeared, or accidentally touched something, and a row of poisonous arrows shot out. (To be continued.) )
