Chapter 984: Rouge Girl
Hua An unconsciously said his ambition to dominate the world, which made the henchmen beside him slightly startled, and at the same time, it surprised the woman in front of him.
"If the guest officer has such insight, he must not be an ordinary person." The woman from the Western Regions said softly, she had already seen Hua'an's difference from Hua'an's appearance and momentum, and when she saw him say such a big thing at this time, she was even more sure of her judgment.
"Oh, who is down there, in the girl's opinion?" Seeing that the woman from the Western Regions was quite discerning, Hua An asked softly.
The woman from the Western Regions thought for a moment and said softly: "The slave family doesn't dare to speculate, but the slave family feels that the guest officials are either rich or expensive, and they must not be ordinary people." β
"Girl has a good eye, my master is indeed a rich and noble person, haha!" A confidant official said with a smile.
Hua An also smiled, looked at the woman in the Western Regions, and said softly: "I had a long conversation with the girl today, and I have really gained a lot of knowledge and a more real understanding of the situation in the Western Regions. After speaking, he took out a few golden cakes from his bosom and handed them to the woman of the Western Regions.
The woman from the Western Regions looked down and saw that there was actually a yellow gold cake in her hand, and she couldn't help but be surprised, when she toasted to the guests, most of them could receive rewards, but most of them were just some copper coins, and silver rarely appeared, and now, Hua'an made a golden cake, and it was several, which couldn't help but surprise her.
Seeing a different kind of surprise in the eyes of the woman in the Western Regions, Hua An hurriedly smiled and said softly: "Although the girl accepts it, she will come often in the future, I hope to see the girl again." After speaking, he nodded to the woman from the Western Regions.
The woman from the Western Regions was slightly stunned, put away the golden cake, and asked softly, "Dare to ask the guest official's surname." β
"Oh. In the next compound surname Sima, the girl's Fang name, whether it is convenient to sue sΓΉ in the next. Hua An asked softly.
"The slave's nickname is Rouge." The woman from the Western Regions hurriedly replied, and gently took off the veil on one side, revealing most of her face.
Seeing the woman from the Western Regions gently take off her veil, Hua An hurriedly looked at the woman from the Western Regions intently. When the veil was taken off for the most part, Hua An could already see the face of this woman from the Western Regions, which was an extremely handsome face, full of the unique charm of a woman from the Western Regions, and after people saw it, they couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
"The next dance is about to start, and the slave family is leaving." The woman from the Western Regions only let Hua An look at it for a short moment, then immediately put the veil back on and turned to leave. In the eyes of outsiders, the whole process is just like the veil just slipping off and being put back by the woman of the Western Regions.
However, it was this short moment that was enough to make Hua'an feel very fascinated, although there were many outstanding-looking beauties in Hua'an's Northern Palace, but only the woman from the Western Regions was lacking in exotic customs. Maybe it's because of the freshness! When Hua An saw the face of the woman in the Western Regions, his heart involuntarily beat violently. And watched the woman from the Western Regions leave slowly with a demented expression.
"Your Majesty, this girl named Rouge is really a beautiful embryo! If the king likes it, it is better to be included in the palace. A confidant official saw Hua An's thoughts and hurriedly whispered.
After all, with Huaan's current identity and status. As long as the request is made, the owner of the liquor store will not disagree, and he will be very happy.
Hua An hurriedly waved his hand and said softly: "I'm afraid it's not good!" β
"Your Majesty. The Rouge Girl is just a singer in the wine shop, as long as the king likes it, it is the blessing of the Rouge girl, and it is also the blessing of the wine shop merchant, what else does the king have to worry about? The confidant officer hurriedly said.
Hua An still waved his hand, paused, and said: "If this king wants to take the rouge girl into the palace, it is naturally very easy, but this king thinks that this wine shop is where the rouge girl should stay, there are her masters and sisters, here, she seems very free and lively, if she enters the palace wall, I am afraid that she will lose her original face, and this is what this king wants to see?" β
Obviously, Hua An feels that a beautiful and enthusiastic girl from the Western Regions like Miss Rouge can only show her charm and tenderness in an open place far away from the palace wall, and if she enters the palace, she will soon be eclipsed, after all, there is no stage in the palace that needs her to show her charm, and Hua An cannot enjoy her dance in the palace every day, and only in the wine shop, her charm and hotness can be fully reflected.
"The king's meaning is to come to this wine shop often in the future, so that you can see the rouge girl often." A confidant courtier immediately understood Hua'an's intentions and whispered it.
Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said: "This king went out to observe the people's feelings, why not come to this wine shop to rest and drink?" After speaking, he turned sideways and looked at the woman from the Western Regions who was dancing downstairs.
At this time, more than a dozen women from the Western Regions downstairs were all dancing hard, they were dressed exactly the same, their headdresses were the same, and they were also veiled, it was really not easy to find the rouge girl just now among these women in the Western Regions.
However, Hua'an soon discovered that a woman from the Western Regions who was dancing threw a hot gaze at her location from time to time, and it was obvious that this woman from the Western Regions was the rouge girl who toasted to him just now.
Hua An hurriedly stretched out his right hand to greet the rouge girl, and then quietly enjoyed the dance downstairs.
"Your Majesty, two craftsmen died of exhaustion on the construction site." Just when Hua'an was in high spirits, a henchman walked into the liquor store and reported to Hua'an.
Hua'an is very concerned about the craftsmen who are under construction, in order to encourage the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, he also personally went to hunt outside the city, and distributed the hunted game to the craftsmen of the construction, now, I heard that the craftsmen were actually tired to death two, and they were taken aback, and quickly asked: "What is going on, why are you tired to death?" β
"Your Majesty, these two craftsmen are a little old and not in good health, so they are all so tired to death." The henchman whispered.
"When did this happen?" Hua An hurriedly asked.
"King Qiqi, it happened half an hour ago, and now, next to the corpses of the two craftsmen, many craftsmen have gathered." The henchman hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Hua An nodded. Zhengse said: "This matter is not big, it is not small, this king wants to go and see it immediately." β
"Your Majesty, this is just two people dying on the construction site, so why bother the king to go there himself? Just go and deal with it. A confidant said softly.
"Yes! The king should stay here and enjoy the dance of the rouge girl! Such a trifle. Just leave it to your subordinates. Another henchman, Masse said.
Obviously, both of them saw that Hua'an was full of interest in Rouge Girl, and from this, they hoped to share Hua'an's worries.
Hua An hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "No, no, no, the wine shop is here, you can watch the song and dance at any time, but it is a big deal that the craftsman is tired to death." It's better for this king to go and see for himself. After speaking, he got up and left, and left the Western Regions Wine Shop, and walked towards the construction site not far away.
Under the hearts of all the people, they naturally all followed behind Hua'an and walked towards the construction site where the accident occurred.
The rouge girl, who was dancing downstairs, suddenly looked up and found that Hua'an and his party were no longer there, and she was slightly surprised in her heart, she didn't understand. Why did Hua An look good but suddenly left, and his heart was full of curiosity about Hua An.
Huaan and his henchmen. Soon arrived at the site of the accident and saw the craftsmen gathered together.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." One of the henchmen shouted.
When the craftsmen heard this, they immediately made way of a road, and Hua'an and his party walked along the newly abandoned road to the side of the tired craftsman.
At this time. The bodies of the two craftsmen had been wrapped in white cloths, and several craftsmen who were familiar with the dead craftsmen were squatting next to them and weeping sadly.
Hua An squatted down, gently uncovered the white cloth that wrapped the corpse, and saw a relatively old face. Judging from his face, this is an elderly man in his fifties, and it is obvious that this old man has to come to work when he is so old, it must be to create more wealth for his family, so that his family can get a better life.
After lightly covering the white cloth, Hua An uncovered the white cloth on the body of another dead craftsman, and what he saw was still an old face.
"Your Majesty, these two are both over fifty years old, and they are old and decrepit and exhausted." A confidant said softly.
"Yes! Your Majesty, the weather is cold now, and the elderly people will be uncomfortable, but at this time, they have done such heavy work, and the saying that they are tired to death should be true and credible. Another henchman, Masase, said.
Obviously, the two henchmen completely agreed with the fact that the old craftsman was exhausted to death, and felt that it was normal to work in the winter and tire a few people to death.
Hua An looked at a sobbing craftsman and asked softly, "What the hell is going on, tell me the truth." β
When the craftsman heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, early this morning, my cousin said that I felt a little uncomfortable, and the villain persuaded my cousin to rest for a day and do it again tomorrow, but my cousin said that it was okay, but he didn't expect that my cousin had just been working for an hour, and he suddenly fainted, and he never woke up." After saying that, he sobbed again.
"The old man is so old, why don't you rest at home, but come all the way to Luoyang City to do such heavy work?" Hua An asked softly.
Of course, Hua An has actually guessed the reason in his heart, people still have to insist on working when they are old, in addition to working hard to support their families and improve the living conditions of their families, there can be no other reason, that is to say, the family of this dead craftsman must be very poor, of course, these are just Hua An's guesses, what the specific reason is, only the young craftsman knows.
"Qiqi Wang, Uncle Cousin's family still has an eighty-year-old mother who needs to be supported, and his mother-in-law has been sick, and finally gave birth to a son, and broke a leg, for many years, all the expenses of the family are supported by Uncle Cousin, and the life is very poor, a few months ago, I heard that Luoyang City has a lot of wages, Uncle Cousin came to Luoyang City with a villain, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, now Uncle Cousin is dead, his family, I am afraid that I will starve to death at home." The young craftsman sobbed again.
"The king, the villain's uncle is even more miserable, not only does he have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old son, but also the biological father and mother of the sick uncle must also be supported by the uncle, and the burden of the whole family is on the uncle's head, and several daughters born and raised in the early years have married to foreign countries, and they ignore their mother's family, and now that the uncle is dead, the life of this family is completely unsettled." Another relative of the deceased old craftsman said with a sob.
Obviously, these two craftsmen who were exhausted to death had a very miserable family background, and it was precisely because of the poverty of their families that they came to Luoyang City thousands of miles to make a living, hoping to earn more money, but unexpectedly, they lost their lives.
After listening to the narration of the two young craftsmen, Hua An couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, after all, it was he who gave the order to recruit craftsmen from all over the world, and he also stipulated the standard of remuneration, the more you work, the better, the more you get, so that these craftsmen from poor families, in order to get more compensation, they disregarded their own bodies and worked hard, which also caused the tragedy.
That is to say, it is the remuneration standard formulated by Hua'an, which harmed the lives of two old craftsmen, but the standard formulated by Hua'an is also reasonable, after all, the distribution according to work itself is the fairest way to calculate remuneration, if you do not consider the speed and quality of work, calculate the remuneration according to the time of work, there will be a lot of craftsmen lazy, so that the project can not be completed with quality and quantity.
"The king doesn't have to be sad, the so-called people can't be resurrected after death, just give more compensation." Seeing Hua An's brows frowning slightly, a confidant subordinate whispered.
Hearing this, Hua An nodded and said: "In addition to the wages due, each deceased will receive a pension of 100,000 yuan, and in the future, 10,000 yuan will be provided to the deceased's family every year, so that the deceased's family can have no worries about food and clothing." β
"Yes, Your Majesty." The henchmen responded with their fists clenched.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, your king, what a good man!" The relatives of the two deceased said with tears in their eyes.
Hua An sighed slightly, and said: "The so-called leaves fall back to the roots, people die and have to return to their hometowns for burial, several of you are relatives of the deceased, each of you receives twice the salary, leave early tomorrow morning, bring the two deceased back to their hometown for burial, and the pension given by the king, you also bring it, and hand it over to the deceased's family, after the deceased is laid down, you can also come to Luoyang City to make a living." β
"Yes, Your Majesty, the villain is commanded." Several young craftsmen clenched their fists and said. (To be continued......)
