Chapter Twenty-Nine: Utopia (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Although he told Zhuo Wenjun that he would move out of Zhuo's Mansion the day after the iron pot was sold, he still delayed for a few days in order to find a satisfactory place to live. The new mansion was selected by Zhuo Wangsun, but the money was paid by Zhang Yuan.
Looking at the title deed in his hand and his empty package, Zhang Yuan's mood was still extremely excited.
This should be regarded as his first home after coming to Dahan.
"Let's go Xiaoqing, let's go in and have a look."
Zhang Yuan's two-month monthly salary is only twenty taels, although it costs a little more than the market price, but the furniture is very complete.
The most important thing is cleanliness, even Zhuofu often has people defecating in the open.
This mansion is big enough, and there is no problem for twenty people to live in it, but at the moment, only Zhang Yuan and Xiaoqing seem to be a little empty here.
Recruiting manpower has become the most important issue for Zhang Yuan to consider at the moment.
Cooks, blacksmiths, carpenters, and a few handymen who can smelt metal. Zhang Yuan planned to let Zhuo Wangsun help him do it, but he had to go to the workshop to pick it himself, he didn't want to change to a new residence and still be monitored by the Zhuo family's father and daughter.
The usual food and clothing can no longer be taken from Zhuo's mansion, these have to be money, and the lying wheel water row must be manufactured as soon as possible and exchanged with Zhuo Wangsun for money.
gave Xiao Qing five taels of good silver and asked her to buy food and clothing items needed by the family, while Zhang Yuan went back to Zhuo's mansion alone to see Zhuo Wangsun.
When he returned to the mansion, Zhang Yuan heard that Zhuo Wang Sun had transported 500 iron pots to Chang'an Sanfu, and all of them were sold out in one day, which was even more exaggerated than Linqiong.
It is said that Wei Xin and Xiang Jing brought the chef of Zhuojia Restaurant to make some stir-fried dishes for the Queen Mother Dou on her birthday.
This made Zhuo's iron pot famous at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
This matter was facilitated by Zhang Yuan, but he turned out to be the one who benefited the least among the three parties. Or their own strength is too weak to enjoy too high returns.
It is already a sure thing that the Zhuo family has been written into the history books, no wonder Zhang Yuan has a smiling face when he sees Zhuo Wangsun these days.
The folds on the face were squeezed together, and it was really ugly.
"Family master, looking at your radiant appearance in the past few days, a lot of good things should have happened."
"Haha, you have a lot of credit for this, Ah Yuan, come and sit down and say."
Zhang Yuan sat directly beside Zhuo Wangsun and talked about his needs.
"The head of the family, now that the villain has moved out, there is still a shortage of people in this house, you see that the people the villain wants are all for the Zhuo family, aren't you?"
Zhuo Wangsun put away the smile on his face, picked up a black chess piece and put it in a corner of the chessboard.
"You want to get someone from the old man."
Zhang Yuan nodded.
"That's exactly what the villain means."
"It's not a big deal, tell you who you want, tomorrow the old man will let those people go to your house."
"The villain wants to choose by himself, this time the work has to be as careful as a hairy person, if some of the people you choose do not meet the requirements, it will be a waste of energy to replace people back and forth."
Zhang Yuan doesn't want to be monitored by Zhuo Wangsun anymore, it is not a good thing to expose his every move to others, if he does not pay attention to Zhuo Wangsun in the future, he will be subject to the Zhuo family again.
"At a young age, there are a lot of thoughts, but fortunately, you can choose your own people to use them handily, this matter is approved by the old man, you go to the workshop to pick people."
Zhuo Wangsun didn't embarrass himself, Zhang Yuan's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and he bowed to Zhuo Wangsun and retreated from the study.
It's easy to choose people, Zhang Yuan also got along with some people before, and after he went, he called all the people he was familiar with, and then went to Zhuojia Restaurant to pull up the only chef who stayed in the restaurant, and returned to his home together.
These people are basically slaves of the Zhuo family, Zhang Yuan drew up a list of them, and asked Xiao Qing, who had already bought all the things, to send the list back to Zhuo Mansion to Zhuo Wangsun, and all the documents of these people should be in hand.
The originally empty house suddenly became popular.
There is a small stream next to the house, because the weather is gradually warming, the snow melts, and the water in the creek also changes from gentle to turbulent, which is just the right time to test the effect of the water drain of the lying wheel.
On the first day everyone came, Zhang Yuan did not arrange for these people to work, but began to calculate in the courtyard where the iron-making furnace should be built, and where the blacksmith's platform should be obtained.
There is no need to worry about disturbing the lives of others, there is a green bar forest in front of the door, I have to say that the green bar trees that can be seen everywhere in Linqiong are the foundation of the development of the smelting business here.
When it was almost dark, Xiao Qing also came back from Zhuo's mansion, holding a package in his hand, which was estimated to be the Xie Liang document of these ten craftsmen.
I didn't eat all day today, and the chef who came from the restaurant immediately began to process the ingredients and prepare to cook after Zhang Yuan's order.
Xiaoqing followed and went over to fight, washing rice or something.
Others also consciously cleaned up the snow in their yards and tidyed up the furnishings in their houses.
Although everything doesn't seem to be very organized, it's not like Zhuo Mansion, where everything is cold.
Zhang Yuan still has fifteen taels of good silver in his pocket, and it is enough to survive this month and receive the monthly salary from the next month, so he didn't think about deducting the food of the people below, so that they could eat meat, which is what Zhang Yuan has to work hard to do now.
This group of people has to see hope, so that they can work hard for Zhang Yuan.
Sure enough, when these people saw the meat on the table, their eyes lit up.
Xiaoqing and Zhang Yuan have a table, and the other craftsmen have a table, but because this house is not very big, the vacant rooms are all wings.
After eating, everyone was waiting for Zhang Yuan to speak.
Zhang Yuan also put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating, cleared his throat and spoke.
"Everyone, now that you have left Zhuofu, your good documents are all here.
In the future, you will have to work hard for me Zhang Yuan, as long as you treat me sincerely and do not bully me for being young, I will not treat you badly.
In the future, each person will have a good monthly salary of one or two taels of silver, these money belong to you, I will not interfere, if you want to marry a wife and have children, you have to rely on yourself, and when there are more people in the house, I will buy the surrounding land for you to live in. ”
As Zhang Yuan spoke, he thought about turning the surrounding area into a huge manor, a utopia of his own.
