Chapter 262: Two Shipwrights
Zhang San sighed, no wonder, these ancient people were superstitious, the surname Chen was not allowed to sail, and there were still rules that women could not get on the boat, but the surname Chen could not build ships Zhang San still heard of it for the first time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Think about it, there shouldn't be such a deep taboo in this ancient world, he looked at Shipwright Chen and asked, "This is not enough, right?" I have seen a few Chenjia anchor shops in Yangzhou, Chen Jiafan and the like, if you can't build a ship, why is it okay? ”
Chen Shipwright's eyes were red and he said: "In the first two years, three of the four ships I supervised sank unexpectedly, and the shipyard invited a Taoist to see it, saying that it was because my surname was unlucky and I couldn't build a ship, so Hangzhou City no longer had a place to stay, so I had to come to Yangzhou to bang luck." ”
Zhang San nodded, that's right, for no reason, the shipyard can't be used because the shipwright's surname is Chen, so it is the Taoist priest who is in the way.
Chen Fu has been observing Zhang San's expression, seeing that Zhang San will frown, stretch for a while, and feel very worried, thinking about his recent experience, his heart is also mixed, and his mood has returned from the expectation just now to flat, thinking about it, just find some carpentry work, after all, he still has to support his family.
Zhang San asked, "If I sign a ten-year long-term contract with you, how much salary do you want a year?" ”
Chen Fu said excitedly when he heard this: "As long as a thousand ......, eight hundred, eight hundred will do, I can build any ship, any ship can be built." ”
Zhang San nodded and said, "Very good, then let's sign the contract, is there anyone else in your family?" ”
Chen Fu said excitedly: "There are also old mothers, wives, and dogs. The four of us who came together will also build ships. I grew up in a shipyard with me. ”
Zhang San said: "Then bring it together, you go to the Yangzhou Canal Wharf to find a boat with the flag of Qingyutang in Beijing hanging on the sails, live on the boat first, and then we will go to Hangzhou together." ”
Chen Fu asked, "Hangzhou?" ”
Zhang San nodded and said: "Well, go to Hangzhou, I want to open a shipyard there and also engage in shipbuilding!" ”
Chen Fu looked at Zhang San's confident face, and he couldn't say anything, although this new owner is really not like that kind of gentleman, but if he pours cold water on him now, it will be a tragedy if he doesn't use himself.
Zhang San went to the counter to write the contract with pen and ink, handed it to Chen Fu, Chen Fu read the contract and asked excitedly: "What is this seventy words?" ”
Zhang San nodded and said: "The basic salary I set here is 500 yuan a year, but you supervise the shipbuilding for me, and the completion of the shipbuilding is 70 yuan, and the 1,000 material ship is 100 yuan. ”
Chen Fu's eyes lit up, and he happily signed the contract, a material of seventy yuan does not look like much, but as long as the shipyard is on the right track, it is still very easy to supervise the production of 5,000 materials a year, and the supervision is not hands-on, so you can supervise the construction of two or three ships of 1,000 materials at the same time, and if you build a big ship, you will earn more. At that time, it will be an income of 1,000 yuan a year.
Zhang San looked at Chen Fu and said: "When I arrive in Hangzhou, I will first buy a shipyard to build ten large ships with more than 2,000 materials for my own use, and there will only be more and not less in the future." How long do you think it will take to build ten ships? ”
Chen Fu's heart became even hotter when he heard this, if he bought the original shipyard and renovated it a little, he could start construction with a little renovation, and said with a calculation in his heart: "Owner, if you want to say that most of the shipyards in Hangzhou can build ships with 2,000 materials, we can start construction of four ships and expect it to be completed in five months, and then start construction of six ships in May, so that all of them can be built by the end of the year." ”
Zhang San smiled and nodded: "So it's the best!" Then you go and pick up your family and go to the dock first, take the note I wrote, and there will be someone on the boat to receive you. ”
After Chen Fu took the note written by Zhang San and left, Zhang San sat on the second floor and watched the Master Mo downstairs still in a daze, and the crowd gradually dispersed after ten o'clock. The alley began to thin out.
Generally, if you are recruiting, you will pick an early morning to come, so as not to delay a day of work, and then find someone after ten o'clock, and half a day will pass after a while of grinding and groping, so the basic market will be dispersed after ten o'clock. Everyone should go home and do some other work, and they can't wait here stupidly every day.
Master Mo suddenly shuddered, saw that the people around him had dispersed, picked up the wooden board on the ground, patted the dust, clamped his armpit and lowered his head and walked out of the alley.
Seeing that Master Mo ignored him, he was also bored, and beckoned people to go in the other direction. These splashes are only hindering Mo Daoyuan from finding a job, not staring at them all day long. Zhang San settled the account and went downstairs a few steps to catch up, and was about to stop him, when he saw him turning the corner and talking to a woman who sold tables and stools. Zhang San leaned in to hear what they had to say.
Lao Mo turned around the corner and saw that his wife was still selling, walked to the stall and Mo raised his head and asked, "Are you back?" Didn't find a job again? You go home and rest first, I'm here. ”
Mo Shi stepped forward, while talking, patted off the dust on his back for him, Mo Daoyuan looked at his wife sleeping with him, and said softly: "Why don't you go back, our mother still has to take care of it, I'll stay here for a while." ”
Mo smiled and said: "Today I sold two low stools and a chopping board, you go back to rest and do some, the money will be given to you when you go back just to grab some medicine, and the rest of the money is to buy some rice." ”
Lao Mo took the money and asked, "Lao Lai, they didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
Mo smiled: "Well, you don't have to worry, go back first." ”
Lao Mo took the money and looked at the stall, and saw his wife walking back with his own sign, Zhang San chased after him and looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Mo Daoyuan, do you regret it now?" ”
Lao Mo looked at Zhang San coldly and asked, "Who are you?" What do you regret? I don't have a clear conscience and never regret it. ”
Zhang San nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay!" What a clear conscience, don't worry, I'm not from the Xiao family, I want to ask you to build a ship for me and build a good ship! ”
Lao Mo's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh? Are you not afraid of the Mo family? ”
Zhang San said with a smile: "I plan to do it in Hangzhou, his Xiao family is very powerful, but the shipyard in Yangzhou can still manage Hangzhou, as long as you are willing to go, I dare to use it!" ”
Lao Mo looked at Zhang San's eyes, and when he saw Zhang San looking at him confidently, he asked hesitantly: "I'll go with you, what about my family?" The Xiao family will not give up. ”
Zhang San said with a smile: "I have a boat at the canal wharf, I still have to stay in Yangzhou for half a month, I will send someone to pick you up when I leave, and then we will set off quietly, his Xiao family can't cover the sky with one hand, and he naturally can't do anything when he leaves Yangzhou." ”
Zhang San took out ten taels of silver and handed it to him and said: "This is for you, it is considered a settlement fee, you treat your mother first, rest assured that one day I will let you return to Yangzhou to open a shipyard and crush the Xiao family!" ”
Mo Daoyuan was not hypocritical, took the silver, and took Zhang San to his house to recognize the door, Zhang San asked him to deal with things first in the past two days, pack his luggage, and be ready to leave at any time, but don't tell others. Mo Daoyuan nodded and agreed.
