Chapter 104: Steamed Bun Mountain

Cheng Chumo returned to Chang'an in the afternoon, and when he returned to Cheng's mansion, he told the housekeeper to load silver into the car, and the housekeeper was scared into a cold sweat, and he didn't know what kind of demon the young master was, why did he come back and load silver? And one pull is five thousand taels of silver, this lord didn't approve it, and he didn't dare to call the shots.

The housekeeper Khan came down, and he didn't dare to stop it.

"I'm Young Master! This, this, what are you doing with all this silver, this, if the master asks, how should I explain this? Cheng Chu said impatiently: "Don't ink these useless things, my father has me to explain, you should go and find some foreign businessmen for me to come back now, especially those who sell grain." The old housekeeper couldn't understand it even more, is this young master crazy, why do you still want to find foreign businessmen and those who sell grain.

Cheng Chumo glared and said, "Let you go!" The housekeeper sighed, the little grandfather is the master, what else can he say as an outsider? With a long sigh, he ordered a few awake servants to contact foreign businessmen, as the chief butler of the Cheng Mansion and the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, of course, he didn't need to go out personally to contact the businessman. Cheng Chumo ordered: "Bring twenty subordinates, these silver must be sent to the hands of the Lord Chouniu Wang, the Yawang of Juxian County, and tell him that I am contacting the merchant about the grain, and I can give him news in these two days."

The driver of the carriage agreed, and drove the carriage out of Chengfu. The housekeeper also understood at this time, it turned out that it was all the relationship between Young Master Wang, but it can be regarded as a peace of mind, how optimistic his master is about Wang Chouniu, he knows it clearly, since it is Young Master Wang who uses money, of course there is no problem.

Look at yourself, the young master of the ruined family, the housekeeper secretly slandered; 'Young Master Wang has a lot more business than you'.

......

Early the next morning

"Uncles, yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went down for cement, His Royal Highness has already been optimistic about cement, and plans to notify the Ministry of Industry when he goes back, and buy it in large quantities, and then it can't be said that his nephew doesn't take care of you." Wang Fatzi invited several businessmen to his house and told him about the benefits of cement.

Several businessmen are old fritters for many years, typical rabbits do not scatter eagles, no matter how Wang Fat Man brags, a few people are just drinking tea, with an unmoved look, and the Wang Fat Man is itching at all.

"Virtuous nephew, we have been friends for many years, and we also believe that you will not cheat us, but we have to see how the real thing is, otherwise I will buy some waste and come back, who will I sell it to when the time comes?" , The fat businessman sitting directly opposite the fat man said unhurriedly, his name is Chow Tai Fook, he is a brick and stone seller, and he is the only one among these merchants who sells building materials.

Although the other merchants did not sell building materials, their shops were almost all over the country, and the trade routes and channels were very wide, which was why Wang Fatzi invited them to come. Wang Fatzi smiled: "This is natural, today I invited a few uncles and uncles to talk about this matter, the carriage has been prepared, and I invite a few uncles to appreciate the light, follow me to see how about the cement road?" ”。

Several businessmen nodded their heads, if they were not interested in cement, they would not come back today, a few polite to each other, all rich people, all have their own carriages, get ready, each got into the carriage, and ran to Juxian.

At the same time, there was also a silver guard team from Chengfu, carrying 5,000 taels of silver, and rushed to Juxian County non-stop.

......

Su Bai called Tang Ju early in the morning and told him that the steamed bun mountain was now bought by him, and the silver would be sent over in the next two days, of course Tang Ju would not question Su Bai's decision, and went to the back hall to find the deed to come over, and wrote the name of Su Bai on the owner of the steamed bun mountain.

The notice was once again posted on the notice board at the yamen, and now there are not too many laborers waiting for work at the door, and the yamen is about to become a labor market, and even many people in the county can't find workers, so they come to the yamen to give it a try, and most of the good workers in the county are here.

The current servant also knows what the character of his own adult is, and after posting the notice, he will read it to the people. Recently, their treatment has also improved a lot, everyone's salary has risen to 30 yuan a day, which can be regarded as a working class, and there are also rewards from adults from time to time, as well as benefits from time to time, which can be said to be a good salary. Su Bai also promised them that after the pig farm and food street were built, they could take a part of the dividends in it and use it as their reward, and now their enthusiasm for work is surprisingly high.

"Blessed are you, your lordship commanded you to recruit a lot of workers this time, five hundred!" The officer was pasting the notice board with paste and reading the words on it. How many workers listen? Five hundred? Oh my God, what are you going to build? At that time, there were only more than 300 people who built roads and houses.

A large circle of people surrounded the signs, staring at the errand with curiosity, waiting for him to read it. The errand officer did not panic, he had become accustomed to this atmosphere in the past two months, and continued to read: "My lord bought the steamed bun mountain, and I want to build a yard on it and build a house, and I will go to Chang'an to find my husband and the master craftsman to take a look in the next two days." Now they are all recruiting small workers, the old rules, eighty yuan a day, lunch at noon, white rice is enough! There is meat in the ton! ”。

The voice of the last sentence of the errand officer was very loud, and the surrounding people cheered together when they heard the conditions, just this condition is not blowing, let alone Datang, even if the whole world looks for it, it can't find such a good treatment!

The errand officer who read the notice was Chen Tie, and these days, he really felt the changes in Juxian County, and he could also feel the changes in the people's attitudes towards them. From disgust and fear at the beginning, to awe later, and then to love. Now every day when he patrols the streets in his official robe, the people will stop and give him a big smile.

Chen Tie liked this feeling very much, which made Chen Tie, who had been a bad person for more than ten years, feel that he was also a respected 'person' for the first time. In the Tang Dynasty, catching fast was a job to offend people, arresting people, arresting, that one was not easy, and people who caught fast could not participate in the imperial examination within three generations, which was called a cheap industry.

Although the people were afraid of him before, they didn't dare to say anything on the surface, but who didn't spit on him behind the scenes? Where are you living comfortably now? Two days ago, when I was patrolling the streets, I helped a stall owner carry a table, and after the stall owner had to invite himself to eat noodles, he couldn't refuse, when had he ever had this kind of treatment before?

Chen Tie now likes this profession, and he knows how to read and write, so every time he rushes out to post notices, so that he can tell the good news above to the people, and he likes this feeling very much.

Su Bai called Wang Chao to his side and said, "You go to the tailor's shop, call their boss over, and say that I have a big business to give him", Wang Chao is a very good person, and when he heard this, he walked out. Su Bai called Tang Ju and asked him to find an errand to go out, find two people who can write calligraphy and come back, and come back with some red paint, which must be waterproof.

Although Tang Ju was a little puzzled, he didn't ask much, went out and called a messenger, and told him to go out to find Mr. Scribe.

It didn't take long for the owner of the tailor shop to arrive at the back hall tremblingly, this was the first time he had come to the county government in his life, and he was somewhat nervous. This boss is the boss of Su Bai when he went down for the first time to make an unannounced visit, and it is also the largest tailor shop in the entire Juxian County.

"Haha, shopkeeper, how is business good lately?" Su Bai asked kindly, and the boss bowed down and said: "Thanks to the adults, since the adults came to this county, there is no one to collect peace money, and the lives of the people are also better, and there are more rich people, and they all come to the store to make two new clothes, but this business is good."

Su Bai nodded and smiled: "This time the shopkeeper is here, there is a job to be handed over to you", Su Bai took out the drawings in his hand while speaking, and a set of uniforms was painted on it, the first set was the style of work clothes, which was designed by Su Bai for the workers, mainly for the workers in the mining area, and the workers in the cement workshop. Su Bai went to take a look at it before, and found that they didn't even bring masks when they were working, and Su Bai was angry at that time, that is, the grass cares about human life, that kind of working environment, I am afraid that it will not take two years to get pneumoconiosis!

The boss took it and took a look, although the style was a little strange, but he was confident that he could still make it, Su Bai pointed to the style and said: "Boss, make me two hundred sets of such clothes first, and you are looking at this" Su Bai took out the drawings of the mask again, and the tailor boss came over to take a look, this is even simpler.

"I want this one to be dustproof, you are more familiar with the cloth than me, this is handed over to you, is there a problem?" The owner of the tailor shop shook his head and said, "Don't worry, just leave this kind of trivial matter to me, and the two hundred pieces will definitely be completed yesterday within a month." Su Bai nodded, at this time, it was all made by hand, and his shop was not too big, and the short man was a big one, even if this kind of efficiency was okay.

"My lord, sir, I've invited you!" An errand officer ran in, and behind him was a scholar dressed in green clothes, who looked not very old, about twenty years old, with a thin figure and a sallow face, and at first glance he looked like he had been malnourished for a long time.

When the scholar saw Su Bai, he clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "Student Lu Yuan has seen an adult!" The scholar's tone was very light, making people feel very comfortable, like a cool breeze in summer. Su Bai smiled: "Please come to Mr. because you want to trouble Mr.

"The adult has won the prize, Lu Yuan but according to his orders"

"I wonder if Mr. may write in large letters?"

"I wonder how big an adult wants to write?"

Su Bai stretched out his hand and gestured, about a meter in length, and said, "Is it okay to have three feet?" Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Three-foot characters, students can still write well." Su Bai smiled, took a piece of white paper, wrote a few words on it, stretched out his hand and handed it over, and said, "Maybe it can be written."

Lu Yuan took it and looked at it, and saw that it read: "......"
