The workers waiting next to them heard Xiao Changting speak for them, and quickly nodded like pounding garlic.

Lin Mao's face hung and he couldn't get down, so he could only reluctantly ask the worker next to him who kept wanting to talk: "What do you want to say?" ”

His cold face swallowed all the words of the workers into his stomach, and his body tensed and looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward and speak.

Xie Zhan softened his voice and said, "Your Majesty has let you speak, just say whatever you want to say." ”

Xiao Changting stretched out his hand and took a cup of Qingshan tea, with a shallow smile on his face, smelled the fragrance of tea, and said: "Lin Shilang, this is in the people, don't be so fierce, it will scare them." ”

Lin Mao lowered his head unwillingly and retreated, and said in a low voice: "The minister knows that he is wrong. ”

When the workers saw him retreat, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and then they dared to say: "Boss Xin did give us a holiday, and it was true that we were unwilling to leave." ”

"Why?" Xiao Changting was puzzled, "The spring banquet is one of the most important festivals in Daliang, and it is a day for family reunion, why don't you want to go back?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a sad expression, and said, "Your Majesty, if we have the ability to go back for the festival, we will not still work here on this day." ”

"Yes, some of us have either lost our parents and have nothing to worry about, or we are too poor to even have a place to live, and some of us can't afford to pay three times our wages to take care of our families. Boss Xin took pity on us, not only provided us with food and accommodation, but also specially held a spring banquet for us, so that we could also feel the warmth of home here. ”

Speaking of these things, the workers were anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward, afraid of colliding with Shengyan, retracted their feet, looked at Xiao Changting nervously, and said: "Your Majesty, please, don't blame Boss Xin, these are really our volunteers, she is our reborn parents, if there is no her, those of us who rely on her for food really can't live!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the wages offered by Liying Shengxiang are the most among these factories in the Imperial Capital City, the environment is also the cleanest, and the treatment is very good, we don't want to leave."

The workers pleaded for Xin Muyuan, but they were worried about the loss of their own interests.

Xiao Changting covered his mouth so that others would not see his expression at this time. Squinting her eyes and secretly looking at Xin Muyuan, she was expressionless, as if she had long been accustomed to and accepted this matter, and suddenly felt some sympathy for Xin Muyuan's little pitiful.

After working hard for a person, he finally ended up with only one tool man, and even pleading for mercy was afraid that he would have no money to make and no place to live.

Fortunately, it's not a pack of white-eyed wolves.

"Lin Mao, you are a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Xiao Changting's gaze fell on Lin Mao's body, and asked him to eat the bottom of this black and big pot.

If he chooses to agree with Xin Muyuan's approach and allow these workers to work, he will offend the Ministry of Rites and detain himself with the charges of not obeying the law, "colluding with the same stream", and taking the lead in committing crimes.

If this is not allowed, it is an offense to the officials, who say that they are ruthless and disrespectful of human feelings, and that they cannot even make laws.

Lin Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's the minister who owes it to consideration." The Spring Banquet asked these workers to go home and rest in order to benefit the people and avoid the unscrupulous merchants from endlessly oppressing them. Since they want to, let's stay here. However, it is better not to spread today's events, lest others follow suit, and businesses take advantage of the loopholes to do things that violate the law. When they returned, they would discuss the law with the Ministry of Rites. ”

It's about wanting each other to take a step back.

Xiao Changting looked at Xin Muyuan with a smile: "What does Boss Xin think?" ”

"Of course I'm fine, I'm just a businessman, whatever. You are officials, and you make decisions. ”

Xin Muyuan scratched his neck, hehe smirked, but he wanted to kill Xiao Changting in his heart.

He really provoked trouble and didn't take care of it, and threw all the grievances and hatreds out for them to solve by themselves, and didn't cut them off on his own body.

Lin Mao said what it was, and he came over to ask her, what did Lin Mao, who had a small belly and chicken intestines, think? Is she more noble than Lin Mao, a third-grade official?

She secretly looked at Lin Mao, and sure enough, she saw this man staring at a pair of corns and wanted to swallow her into his stomach.

Shrinking his neck, Xin Muyuan scratched his neck to look at the loom next to him, only when Lin Mao stared at someone who was not himself.

Li Chongming instructed the people who came here to sit down in front of the loom and a pair of weavers and jacquard workers to teach them and their wives how to operate them.

Compared with farming, weaving is much more interesting, some ladies have smart brains, and feel fun, and they can control a machine by themselves in a short time, kick their husbands aside, and they are jacquard and weaving, and they are very busy.

Some of the petty officials, who were also well-married in the family, did not know how to do these things with their wealthy concubines, but they carefully concealed their skill, until they had wow perfect and beautiful cloth, and were admired by the ladies of the ladies who had never touched or even seen these machines, and they were skillfully swishing and speeding up.

Most of the ladies are learning female red since childhood, embroidery is full of patterns, exquisite techniques, when their husbands are busy, they pick up the embroidery next to them, replace them with clean embroidery cloth, embroider the patterns that come to their minds, or miss the patterns that they practiced thousands of times when they were young.

The people who joined in the excitement were lying at the door and secretly watching, feeling that this group of elegant ladies was not only their words and deeds, but also elegant and good-looking as these things made by the folk, no wonder the book recorded that the people were ordinary people, and these ladies were all fairies.

There are a few exceptions.

Self-confident high-ranking officials or a certain lady look down on these folk things, and are unwilling to dye these messy things and drop the price.

But the emperor worked seriously in front of them, and the boss was like this, they didn't dare to do anything special, so they could only fish in troubled waters and do perfunctory things.

When someone saw them, they hurriedly made some feints to cover up, and when no one saw them, they continued to fish.

Gonggong Shen, who was standing next to the emperor, was one of the very few people who stood up, and he could see what they were doing at a glance, and he wrote it down in his heart without saying a word.

An hour passes quickly for those who are serious about what they do, but it can be as long as hundreds of years for those who fish in troubled waters.

The experience had just ended, and some people couldn't wait to leave, but when they saw that Xiao Changting didn't move, he raised his fart. The shares reluctantly put it back.

Xin Muyuan took Mu Yi out, and in Mu Yi's hand, he was still holding a heavy board, covered with a red cloth of cotton.

Everyone stretched their necks to look, guessing what tricks Xin Muyuan was playing again.
