Chapter 190: On Skill and Money

Yuxia followed Xia He to the warehouse to get the clothes, this went to the fabric warehouse, which was naturally full of dazzling clothes, Yuxia was well-informed in the palace, and the material warehouse in the palace was also frequent, and she knew more about all kinds of fabrics than Xia He, so where was suitable for dressing, and she immediately picked it out. Although there was nothing on the surface, Yuxia was still shocked in her heart, it seemed that the county lord was really rich, and there were so many precious clothes in this warehouse. It is said that this is only the county lord's own treasury, and the treasury in the mansion is bigger and has more things, which is really wealthy. Later, Xia He took Yuxia to a small room, this is the jewelry room, which is much smaller than the clothing room, but the jewelry alone needs to be stored in a room, which is also very amazing. In this room, Xia He didn't let Yuxia in, and Yuxia stood outside very interestingly and waited. After a while, Xia He came out, took the silver hairpin and took Yuxia to the courtyard where they lived.

In the small courtyard, the embroidery girls in the palace are waiting, as soon as they saw Yuxia coming with Xia He, they have been in the deep palace for many years, they are all shrewd people, they all know that Xia He is the big girl next to Wen Hui, she is very powerful, she is busy standing up, low eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, Xia He smiled and said: "Sisters, it is not like a palace in our house, there are not so many rules, especially our girls are the most sympathetic, we don't have such rules in front of the girls." ”

These embroidery girls were silent, Yuxia said: "Sisters, what Miss Xia He said is true, the county lord has no shelf at all, and besides, the county lord doesn't like red tape and novels.

In the future, we should also be looser. ”

Yuxia's words, they still listened. I couldn't help but look at each other left and right. But the rules that have been cultivated over the years. makes them look low and pleasing even if they are relaxed.

Yuxia said: "Miss Xia He came to give us the reward of the county lord, and she also assigned us some work. ”

Now everyone is not calm, how can there be a reward? Isn't this the settling-in allowance that everyone just gave when they went home yesterday, jewelry? Moreover, I haven't worked this month, and the monthly money has already been distributed. What reward will be returned? This county lord is richer than the emperor? How can there be more opportunities for rewards than in the palace?

Xia He said: "Our girl said, you have recruited so many apprentices this time and made a contribution to the girl. Therefore, the girl said, and gave each of them a pair of silver hairpins. ”

After speaking, he took out a small box, and when he opened it, there were eight pairs of silver hairpins neatly placed inside, including two pairs of lotus flowers, two pairs of bonsai, two pairs of plum blossoms, and two pairs of flowers and birds, all of which were very exquisite. I can't help but like it very much.

Xia He handed it over to Yuxia, and this waited for Xia He to leave. Naturally, Yuxia came to distribute it to everyone.

Xia He said again: "Because the emperor rewarded our girl with 200,000 people. We, the girls, are going to give out four sets of clothes to each of the 200,000 people. That's 800,000 sets of clothes. This order has been given to the workshop of Cui Jin Lou to do. But the order is too big, and there are not enough embroiderers in Cuijin Building, and it just so happens that you have more than 100 new embroiderers. Originally, according to the rules of our house, each of you will take the monthly example of a first-class embroiderer every month, that is, one tael of silver per month. If you can teach ten apprentices who have reached the level of ordinary embroiderers in our house, they can become stewards, and they will receive ten taels of silver per month. If there are five in the teaching office, it is the monthly money of five taels of silver for the little steward. Now each of you can have a dozen disciples, but you haven't taught them yet. According to the regulations, you still have to get a tael of silver a month, and when these apprentices pass the assessment, when you can get ten taels of monthly money. These apprentices are all apprentices, and they are two hundred big dollars a month. Although the money is not much, we can take care of food and housing. In ordinary workshops, apprentices are only in charge of food and housing, and there is no monthly money. It's still good in our house. Now in extraordinary times, you are in a hurry to employ people, and you are recruiting people with a needlework foundation, so the girl said, after everyone arrives tomorrow, we will go to the workshop of Cuijin Building together. You also go with you, and teach the apprentices there in general, while letting the apprentices and the embroidery girls in the workshop hurry up to make the order for the 800,000 sets of clothes. ”

When Xia He said this, he looked at everyone's expressions and found that everyone had no reaction, no resistance, and couldn't help but think that the people who came out of the palace were well-trained and increased their work, and they were not dissatisfied.

In fact, these embroidery girls are indeed not dissatisfied. There are often emergencies in the palace, such emergencies, when needles and threads are used, they are required to work overtime, which is a normal thing, and these embroidery girls are used to it.

Xia He continued: "The girl said, all the apprentices who go to the workshop will take the apprentice's 200 big money every month, and in addition, they will be paid according to the salary of the general embroidery girl in the workshop, that is, 400 big money more every month. ”

Now these embroidery girls are not calm, although they are not talking to each other, but they are all looking at each other, and their eyes are shining with joy. After all, most of these apprentices are like the three girls of the Yuxia family, they are all their relatives, even sisters, sisters-in-law and the like. This came to the house as an apprentice, saved the cost of food and clothing, and already saved a sum of money for the family, and they could also get 200 yuan a month during the apprenticeship period, which is to share the burden on the family, and the burden on them is naturally lighter. Not to mention, there can be another 400 big money, which adds up to 600, 600 big money a month, 7,200 a year, but it is more than 7 taels of silver. They used to be in the palace, and they only gave their families a little five to seven taels of silver every year, can this not make them happy?

Xia He said, "Why do you give double portions? For these apprentices are to do double work, and during the day they are to learn needlework and sew the clothes of the people under your instruction. I have to rest later at night, follow your advanced needlework, and strive to become an ordinary embroiderer in three to five months. ”

At this point, these embroidery girls all nodded, take more money, work more, this is a matter of course, everyone is willing to accept it.

Xia He was very satisfied, and then said: "You also have to work hard, during the day you have to instruct the apprentices to make ordinary clothes, and also to make the clothes of the county lord, and the clothes of this county lord are your share of work. In the evening, I have to teach the apprentices, which is also a double job, so the girl said, I will give you the monthly rules of the stewards in advance, ten taels of silver per month. Of course, there is also a condition, your apprentices must pass the assessment in the guò mansion within three months, if the number of people who pass the guò is less than ten, your ten taels of silver will not be distributed. Of course, this regulation is not what the girl said, but I added it, because we have a few monthly rules in charge of the girl's manpower, if we don't give you such a regulation, I'm afraid that others will not be convinced. ”

These embroidery girls were still immersed in the huge impact of ten taels of silver per month, and they didn't pay attention to Xia He's last few words. But Yuxia still heard it very clearly, and hurriedly said: "It's fair for Miss Xia He to deal with it like this." If we can't teach our apprentices in three months, we will all die of shame, so why are we embarrassed to continue to take this money? ”

As soon as this sentence was said, the embroidery girls reacted one after another, and they were busy talking about their statements, with their many years of experience in teaching the little palace maids in the palace, they must be able to teach it within three months, otherwise they will smash their own signboards, which is absolutely impossible.

Xia He nodded. Come to think of it, these embroidery girls are all top people in the palace, they are already skilled, experienced, plus, these apprentices they recruit are all young people, but none of them are young children, they are all when they have the strongest ability to accept, they already have needlework skills, and they are naturally better taught than the little palace maids in the palace. Besides, there are one or two who are particularly stupid and don't learn well, and each of them doesn't have only ten apprentices, but more than ten, even if one or two are not good, there is no problem in ensuring that the ten are not well assessed. Xia He's condition for them is actually very lenient, if this can't be done, it is very stupid, or there is no intention, and such a person is not worth using.

At this time, Cui Xi in the embroidery girl has always had a fast mouth, and she stopped talking when she looked at Xia He. Xia He keenly found out and said, "This sister, is there anything wrong?" ”

Cui Xi looked at Yuxia and saw that Yuxia didn't stop her, so she boldly asked: "Our monthly plan for this month has been distributed yesterday, will the monthly case of ten taels of silver be issued again next month?" ”

As soon as he asked this, everyone's eyes widened, waiting for Xia He's answer. Now most of us are preparing to go to Nanyang, and naturally hope that the more silver the better, so that there will be more money to create a foundation in Nanyang.

Xia He said: "I just said, the one or two are distributed by you as an embroiderer, and you have to make clothes for the girl and embroider live." The ten denias are stewards of the service, and you are to teach your disciples. Therefore, you must make clothes for the girl with your heart, and tomorrow your apprentices will come and sign the contract, and we will naturally have someone to give you the ten taels of silver a month. And along with that, there are people who give clothes to your apprentices, and there are 600 big money to be given to them every month. By the way, I forgot to say, if there are talented apprentices among you, and in the assessment after three months, they reach the level of a high-level embroiderer, then it is not a monthly example of 600 big money a month, it is according to the high-level embroidery girl, if you reach the third class, it is 500 big money, and if you reach the first class, it will be a monthly money of one or two silver. ”

These embroidery girls are even happier when they hear this, what a great opportunity this is.

Xia He said: "You will know in the future, our house is not according to seniority, but according to ability, the more capable people get more money, our girl is not afraid that everyone will take more money, our girl often says, it is best that everyone has the ability and becomes very rich, so that she is happy." ”

The embroidery girls were secretly happy in their hearts, and their eyes were full of joy. (To be continued......)
