Chapter 321: Recruitment
Xiao Gui also cried with a sad face: "Master Xu, I didn't know that Han Gongzi was so powerful...... Hey, no, wasn't he a fool before? It's all of a sudden good?? ”
In front of me is a pink-purple peony flower, waving in the wind, exuding a faint fragrance. A shirtless middle-aged man is squatting on the ground weeding. A pair of black satin boots appeared in front of him, and Yuan Shisan looked up and saw a handsome and elegant son, holding a folding fan in his hand and wearing a jade pendant around his waist.
The boy spoke: "This big brother is a gardener Yuan Thirteen? ”
"Well, I am, is this brother going to buy flowers? I've got everything here, you can look at it as you like. Yuan Shisan subconsciously thought that these romantic characters were all here to buy flowers.
"Oh, I'm not here to buy flowers." Han Baichuan waved his hand, took out an ingot of gold and shook it in front of his eyes, "I'm here to recruit people." ”
"Recruiting? Who do you want to hire, me? ”
"That's right, I'd like to hire a skilled gardener to take care of the garden for me."
Yuan Shisan frowned, he was no stranger to this. He was the most famous gardener in the area, and many wealthy merchants and dignitaries would come to him to buy flowers, although they were hired at a very high price, much higher than the income he earned from growing flowers by himself, but most of those rich merchants lived in the city, and he did not want to leave his home, so he ignored them. And now this man says he's going to hire him?
Without thinking about it, he replied: "Brother Xie looks up to me, I don't know where your house is?" I don't want to leave this place, if it's just a few streets away, it's okay, it's too far, I don't want to go that far to work. ”
"I've come from 100 miles away. If my eldest brother is willing to come to my house, I can pay 10 taels of silver per month. Han Baichuan was polite on the surface, but in fact, he was uncomfortable when he heard Yuan Shisan's tone, why did this person speak so bluntly and didn't want to work? Do you think he's stealing Guevara?
Yuan Shisan's eyes straightened when he heard this number, the salary that those people gave him in the past was only 5 taels, which was enough to make other people red, but now it has reached 10 taels? This number really made him excited, but he was really reluctant to give up his few acres of flower fields and a few livestock.
"This ...... Let me think about it, next year's Flower Festival is coming, and I still have to sell these peonies. ”
When Han Baichuan heard that he would not agree until after the Flower Dynasty Festival, and by then his plan had already been ruined, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and even had the idea of knocking him out and tying him back.
"Yuan Thirteen! Are you stupid? How can the broken elm head not be opened! Suddenly, a sharp female voice sounded, and a woman who looked very shrewd and spicy strode over, angrily grabbing Yuan Shisan's ear.
"Ahh Pain, pain, pain...... Yu Niang, you let it go first. Yuan Shisan howled in pain.
Probably screwed enough, Yu Niang let go, glanced at Yuan Shisan, looked at Han Baichuan, and immediately put on a smiling face: "This young master, my man doesn't know how to lift up, and he rejected your appreciation, I hope you have a lot, forgive him, it's a great honor to work in your house, I will definitely educate him to work hard." ”
Han Baichuan was very comfortable with this, so he put the ingot of gold in Yu Niang's hand: "This is my sincerity, when your man comes to my house, I will definitely not treat him lightly." ”
He handed another note to Yu Niang: "This is the address of the Han family, just come to Xiaoyun Village to inquire about the Han family." I'm waiting for your news at home. ”
Han Baichuan's patience is only three days, and if Yuan Shisan doesn't come to the door after three days, he plans to hire another Gao Ming, although the technology may not be as good as Yuan Shisan, but there are many skilled craftsmen.
Three days later, Yu Niang really came to the door with Yuan Shisan, and as soon as she saw Han Baichuan, she smiled and said: "Young master, my man will work here in the future, if there is anything disobedient in the future, tell me, I will definitely teach him a good lesson." ”
Han Baichuan nodded with satisfaction, he saw that Yuan Shisan still looked reluctant, so he looked at Yu Niang: "Sister-in-law, the reason why Brother Yuan refuses to leave the countryside is because of Ling Gongzi, right?" ”
A trace of surprise flashed on Yu Niang's face when she heard this: "Young Master, how do you know?" ”
After leaving Yuan Shisan, the more Han Baichuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, what reason was there to offer a high salary and not be able to hire someone? Maybe Yuan 13 has something to hide? So he sent someone to explore the background of his family, only to know that he and Yu Niang had a son who was frail and sick, and at the age of 16 he often lingered on the sickbed, Yuan 13 planted flowers in the countryside to make a living, and he could let his son recuperate at will, and it was too far away from home to take care of him. In ancient times, the carriage and horses were too slow, and it took a day to walk 100 miles from home, and Yuan Shisan's coming to work here meant that the family had to be separated.
Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Han Baichuan couldn't help but think of his parents, he said sincerely to Yu Niang: "I have a vacant worker's house here, if my sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, you can also arrange for your family to move in temporarily, so as to avoid living in two places, I don't know what my sister-in-law thinks?" ”
The Yuan family and his wife looked at each other, and they both felt that this method was feasible, Yu Niang usually relied on embroidering clothes for people to help make up for the family, and there were more people in Xiaoyun Village, and they could earn more money here than their family.
Yu Niang blessed Han Baichuan: "Thank you so much young master, I and Thirteen will go back to settle everything first, and we will officially go to work in the house in a few days." After speaking, he pulled Yuan Shisan, who was still standing stupidly, and left.
Jiang Cheng'er was quietly listening to their conversation just now, and when the Yuan family and his wife left her, she walked over briskly, and said with a smile: "I don't see that you will buy people's hearts." ”
Han Baichuan was a little uncomfortable by her, his personality is quite conceited, he has never been good at dealing with people to please others, he came to ancient times, the conditions were bad, he understood that only by being careful could he survive, and his mind was full of the plots of those TV series, so he naturally did so.
"What land are you going to use to grow flowers?" Jiang Cheng'er observed his actions in the past few days and came to a conclusion.
"Hmm. The ancients loved flowers, the production of flowers is not as much as modern times, and ornamental flowers are just developed in this dynasty, the people of the previous dynasty all felt that flower appreciation is not a serious business, there is still a big gap in the market, I think as long as it is well managed, it is a good business. ”
Jiang Cheng'er stuck out her tongue, she really wasn't the material for business, although she was forced by her father to learn some ways to manage a business, but the business already existed, and she really didn't know anything about doing business from scratch.
She was suddenly a little curious about Han Baichuan, so she asked: "By the way, I haven't asked, you are so business-minded, what do you do in modern times?" ”
Nowadays? Thinking of his modern home, Han Baichuan smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm just a company white-collar worker, and my dad is a hawker, and I learned a lot of business lessons from him." What about you, your identity in the modern age? ”
Jiang Cheng'er didn't expect the topic to be introduced to her, if she was an ordinary person, she wouldn't mind saying it, but she was the heir of a well-known big business, and I was afraid that Han Baichuan wouldn't believe it if she said it. I had to make up one: "Uh, I studied design, I just graduated and didn't have a job before I wore it here, my dad is a teacher." This is a half-truth.
Han Baichuan let out an "oh", and did not doubt that her temperament was indeed like a girl from a scholarly family.
There was a long queue of people at the door of Han's house, as if it had restored the liveliness of Han Lin's time when he was an official.
Mrs. Han looked at the long queue at the door of Han's house in amazement, and looked at Han Baichuan suspiciously: "Xiang'er, what are you doing?" How did I not know what was going on in our house? ”
"Mother, don't worry," Han Baichuan said in a soothing tone: "I'm recruiting." ”
"Recruitment?" A worried look immediately appeared in Mrs. Han's eyes, "Xiang'er, you also know the situation of our family, how can you still ......?"
Han Baichuan interrupted her: "Mother, I can't explain it to you yet, when I recruit someone, you will understand what I am going to do." ”
Han Baichuan was very smart before he became an idiot, and Mrs. Han used to trust her son very much, so although she was still worried, she still chose to believe in her son.
Jiang Cheng'er walked out of the house slowly, and several people in the crowd immediately stopped her: "Hey! Dafeng! We're here to work for you. ”
Jiang Cheng'er was slightly stunned, calmed down, and recognized those people as villagers from Xiaoyun Village, who she had come to receive when she distributed winter supplies that day.
"How did you get here, don't you farm anymore?"
One of them said in a loud voice: "If you farm the land and cause a famine, you will starve to death, and when we see your family recruiting workers, we might as well come and help you work, and your kindness will definitely not make us angry." ”
Jiang Cheng'er was a little embarrassed by his praise, she had some impressions of those people, they were all honest and willing to work, because the original family was poor and lacked food and clothing, so she said to Han Baichuan: "These people are good, and they are used to farming, so it's better to just them." ”
Han Baichuan raised his eyebrows: "Stuffing people in private? So what's in it for me? ”
Yes? She didn't expect him to say that, and she was speechless for a moment. When I looked up into his eyes, I noticed a smile in his eyes. He was joking.
She half-jokingly said, "The good thing is that I can grant you any request." As soon as these words came out, she and Han Baichuan were stunned, this is a very heavy promise, Jiang Cheng'er usually blurts out after watching more TV, but there is no way to redeem it. Hey, it doesn't matter, she thought lightly, just regret it when the time comes, and there is no one to witness the physical evidence.
"Name?"
"Age?"
"Uncle, you're 60 years old, let's go home and hug your grandson. Next! "
The Han family's recruitment ended in a hurry, and with the addition of those in Xiaoyun Village, seven people were recruited at once this time. They are characterized by their tall and robust stature, honest appearance, and low requirements.
Han Baichuan informed them to officially start work in three days, and they would be trained before they started working. He first asked them to spend three days leveling the wasteland, applying a lot of fertilizer, and ploughing it, but it was not enough to make the wasteland suitable for planting.
