Chapter 140: The Workshop
After Murong Sheng went back, he summoned the secret guard just now, "Go and get forty lashes." ”
The Dark Guard appeared and knelt on the ground, "Yes." ”
He knew in his heart that he was wrong, and he shouldn't have reported it without hearing it clearly, and wronged Concubine Chen.
Originally, this couldn't be reported, blaming him for being lucky, and if he had that more mouth, he said that Concubine Chen caught a cat and nothing happened.
Now that the prince is going in person, he has no chance.
These forty lashes are to teach him this lesson.
In the future, the dark guard will not dare to say more.
Chen Xiaoxiao had a good life in the next few days, but she was a little distressed, and if she forgot to put the food away, it would be easy to disappear after a while.
It was all done by the little yellow cat, and after Bai Zhi put the little yellow cat on the mountain that day, he didn't expect this cat uncle to take Chen Xiaoxiao on it.
Although I saw that Chen Xiaoxiao would still run, I would not delay the little yellow cat to steal it, and when I met Bai Zhi, I would go up to rub her.
On this day, Chen Xiaoxiao's snack on the table was secretly taken away by the little yellow cat.
Bai Zhi would occasionally laugh and joke with Chen Xiaoxiao, "Master, you're a big rat here." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao only smiled faintly, "Let it be." ”
Since then, the little yellow cat has settled here in Chen Xiaoxiao, and Chen Xiaoxiao gave it a name, which is called chicken wings.
In the past few days, the eastern clothes sent by the imperial court to the soldiers have arrived, and this time the emperor personally inspected them, in general, they looked quite thick, but as soon as Murong Sheng went to check it, he found that it was not good.
It's just that it looks thick, but in fact, there is nothing substantive in it, so he asked people to check it and go back to find Chen Xiaoxiao.
"Lord Wang, is there anything wrong with you?"
Murong Sheng touched Chen Xiaoxiao's head, sat down and said, "Last time, you said that you would build a workshop and recruit some people to make winter clothes, and this king's place has been temporarily built for you." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao was radiant and happy, and said in disbelief: "Really? ”
Murong Sheng nodded, "Well, you can start to do it, the lack of silver taels will be taken from the prince, and the silver taels issued by the imperial court will also go to the border." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao was a little apprehensive, "Lord Wang, are you really leaving it to the concubine?" ”
"Hmm."
"That concubine will definitely do a good job!" Chen Xiaoxiao made a guarantee.
"Hmm."
"Won't you say something?"
"Say what?"
"It's fine."
Chen Xiaoxiao lowered her head and smiled lowly, she will definitely do this well.
She thought about it again, will it be too late to catch up, and hurriedly asked: "Lord, start doing it now, is it too late?" ”
Murong Sheng's fingertips tapping on the table paused, and he said to Chen Xiaoxiao: "Do as much as you can, if you don't have someone in the back, you can wear the year before last, don't have too much pressure." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao was relieved and said, "That concubine can't be sloppy, she must be rushed out." ”
Murong Sheng: "Well, just be careful, don't be too tired." ”
Next, Chen Xiaoxiao visited Bai Zhi and many people who hired long-term workers, and also inquired a lot about people.
After discussing for a few days, the price was finally finalized, and long-term workers were hired, with a monthly salary of 120 yuan, and two meals a day.
On the first day of the recruitment notice, there were really a lot of people, and the requirements were clearly written on the notice, recruiting skilled and diligent female workers, don't be lazy and slippery, and the price and the conditions for managing two meals were added.
Many people surrounded the notice, and the job of recruiting people fell on Bai Zhi's head, but when the notice was posted, Bai Zhi had not come over.
The people around didn't know what was written on it, and there were very few literate people, so everyone was happy.
It's still a Xiucai passing by, and someone grabbed him to look at the notice, and Xiucai looked at the notice and didn't say anything for a while.
The people around were anxious, "Xiucai, you said, what is written on it." ”
The weather in November was already very cold, and the people around me were shivering with cold.
Xiucai's face was red from the cold, and he sniffed and said to everyone: "It's the embroidery girl, who has to work hard, one hundred and twenty wen a month, and two meals." ”
Everyone exploded the pot, one hundred and twenty wen, and two meals, such a good thing, who doesn't want to do it, no matter what the rice is.
Now that the war is in chaos, where can you make so much silver, this is definitely going to go.
Everyone scrambled to be the first, so they dragged Xiucai and asked, "Where is it not written on it?" ”
Xiucai shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"Hey, let's go, let's go." The soldier held his weapon and told everyone to get out of the way, and behind them, Bai Zhi followed.
A soldier brought a table, with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it, and as soon as Bai Zhi sat down, everyone flocked up, but fortunately there were soldiers who stopped him, otherwise Bai Zhi would have been drowned by me.
These people surrounded the piece of Angelica dahurica.
The soldiers shouted: "Silence, come one by one, and if you make any more noise, you will be disqualified." ”
Only then did everyone shut up, and the scene was quiet.
Bai Zhi came to the table, looked around at everyone, and said, "I think you have also read the notice, let me explain the conditions first." ”
She coughed, and saw that everyone was listening with their ears pricked up, and she continued: "We, the side concubine, originally built this workshop to make clothes for the soldiers in the army, but she felt that it was not easy for you to live, and wanted to add a little bit of income to you." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone talked about it, and some said: "This side concubine is really good, and I have our people in my heart." ”
Some echoed: "Yes, I heard that the side concubine also brought grain and grass over before, and solved the great urgency of our border pass, what a good person." ”
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Concubine Niangniang is a good person, it is Guanyin Bodhisattva, we don't want money, as long as we can help Concubine Niangniang, we will voluntarily enter the workshop." ”
"Yes, we don't want silver for the clothes made for our border soldiers."
As soon as these two people said this, the people around them reacted and said that they didn't want to do it with money, and they were full of enthusiasm.
Border soldiers, for the sake of the Great Qianchao Dynasty and the defense of the country, how can they make winter clothes for silver.
"We don't want silver!"
"We don't want silver!"
"Chitose Niang!"
There were still people who wanted silver, but now there is no one who wants it, and they all volunteer to work.
Bai Zhi made a pause gesture, "You all get up, don't hire people for money, our side concubines won't agree, you get up first." ”
Xiucai, who was the first to read the notice, immediately said: "We all remember the good of the side concubine, the side concubine for the soldiers at the border pass, thousands of miles to transport grain and grass, so that we won the battle, how can we delay things for a little silver, the big guy said yes?" ”
"yes!"
Everyone nodded their heads and said in unison.
Bai Zhi stood up and bowed to everyone, "Your wishes, I have received it for the side concubine, but if you don't accept the money, the side concubine will not agree, I will start to register your name now, and any of you who want to come, come to me to record your name." ”
The crowd hesitated, they didn't want the money, but what should they do with this posture.
