Chapter 178: Guo Zhanpeng came to the door
Only three days, Chungui hurried to make a lot of jerky, Zhou Han's favorite taro cake made a few more big boxes, dim sum plus a Zhou Han occupied the entire carriage, three days later in the early morning to send away the listless Zhou Han.
The family is not very comfortable, Zhou Han is like growing up in their house, not like an outsider at all, so he is naturally reluctant to leave, but fortunately, now the carriage and horse letters are convenient, but it takes some time.
After Zhou Han left, Qi You and Zhixing officially took office, and they were really busy.
The displaced people took advantage of the month after the year to simply repair the two rooms can just accommodate more than 20 people, although simple, so that they can shelter from the wind and rain, two days before the start of the private school, they moved out, now some people continue to repair the house, the other part is with the cave together with the start of construction, after a year ago by Qi You Zhixing so care, this group of displaced people has a sense of belonging, in the cave is very serious, brick by brick and tile are almost pious, those workers from the town occasionally shout bitterly and choke, they do not care, only concentrate on moving bricks.
Qi You Zhixing made several inspections, and he could hear them greeting from a distance, working tirelessly.
After praising it a few times, the displaced people were happier and harder, and the other part of the townspeople who couldn't bear it felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, Qi You saw it in his eyes, thinking that when the framework was built, he would gather a group of people when he went to the inner structure of the kiln inside.
Although the salary is high, there are many people who can't endure hardship, and there are still many people in the countryside and towns who have to work hard, but they didn't grab the quota at the beginning.
He wrote it down in his heart.
On the other hand, the Chu brothers also showed up after the New Year. What makes people laugh and cry is that the two of them came out for the first time in a year, and in addition to the main Guo Mansion, they visited not Zhixing and Qi You.
It's a spring return.
The brothers picked out a lot of gifts and sent them to Chungui and insisted on asking her to accept them, where would Chungui accept them, this tea and dim sum were brought out separately and cheaply, but they were piled up together, and they knew that it would cost a lot of money.
But the Chu brothers are hard-hearted, and they open their mouths to say that Chungui is their master of skills, and they can accept any number of courtesies. After speaking, he said to Qi You: "Don't worry, my lord, the two of us will not leave for the time being, how many craftsmen have you called over, and we have time to teach." ”
This is going to be the right thing again, and it's not easy to interject in the spring return, so I put away the gift and listened to it on the side.
There are so many people in the two counties, there are more craftsmen, and now there is an order from the government, and the craft of hand-painted porcelain is hanging, and there must be not a few people who come.
The Chu brothers are even more reliable, and this step is much easier to do.
No matter how easy it is, there are also things that you can't think about.
Chu Yi quickly asked:
"My lord, let's ask more, can we find this cave to practice your craft?"
The two of them do this craft, they are careful people, when they came, they thought about this, these official kilns are to be built, but the craft is practiced, there is no suitable place, empty manpower is useless.
Chungui immediately frowned when he heard this, this is really a problem.
She subconsciously looked at Qi You, but saw that he was confident.
Qi You gave her a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry." ”
He turned his head to the Chu brothers and said, "The private kiln on the outskirts of the town will be at the disposal of the two of you." ”
Chu Yi and Chu Er immediately glanced at each other: "Master Hong? ”
Chun Gui was also stunned: "Is that the one who is good friends with the Guo family?" ”
At the beginning, Guo Ruyi asked her to teach the Chu brothers, and the old man also borrowed this cave.
There was also snow falling years ago......
Before she could mention it, Qi You smiled lightly and nodded: "It's also the old man who borrowed a private kiln to take refuge in the snow a year ago." ”
This time, borrowing the cave to practice his craft was also an opening between him and Zhixing, and Master Hong also responded with one mouthful. Others looked at Master Hong once again generously lent the private kiln to the government, but Master Hong knew that this loan was different from the one in winter, and this time he didn't want to know how much benefit he could bring to himself.
The homeless people were trapped that day, and the clever steward of the Wailang family was really right, the official kiln rose, and the road of the private kiln was narrower, but the private kiln could be said to have saved the lives of more than 20 homeless people, how could Qi You not remember it in his heart, according to his temperament, he would definitely not let Master Hong's private kiln decline with the rise of the official kiln.
This is not today, Qi You has already started to think of requisitioning.
The requisition of private kilns must be reported, and if it is reported, it is linked to this political matter.
A small merchant, but with the government's decree, the owner of this private kiln can not be famous, but also has to be rewarded, not to mention that there is another money to be taken if he is requisitioned.
For Master Hong, this is by no means a loss-making deal.
He is a smart person, he figured out Qi You's intentional care that day, and he originally planned to reduce the manpower because of the official kiln, so he generously explained to Qi You that the cave can be used casually, and the manpower can be called casually, even if he does not enter the project in a short time, he will admit it.
Qi You naturally wouldn't treat him badly, and he added a few words to the report that night.
......
The Chu brothers were naturally happy to get this news, the two of them had entered the cave several times, and the inner structure was all clear, and it was always good to have a familiar place to teach and practice.
So there was a wind of beckoning craftsmen in the two counties, the government posted the list, and the Chu brothers collected it on the side, which was full of posture. Painting, carving, porcelain burning, one of them can come to sign up, this craft is too inclusive, naturally attracted many people, Songyu two counties needless to say, more than other states and counties to touch the news.
When the manpower arrived, there was nothing to say about the monthly subsidy, and Qi You and Zhixing allocated a large part of the silver money on it.
Hand-painted porcelain is a new industry, and there is no reason for the first group of pathfinders to suffer.
In just half a month, the Chu brothers have gathered a large number of people at the Hongjia private kiln, some of whom came to explore the way, some of whom came with novel thoughts, and some of whom came seriously to learn a craft.
There are even people who don't take it seriously, but they just come to take a job, but soon they understand the importance of this work.
On the first day of coming, the officials sent by Zhixing Qiyou registered the thirty or so people one by one from their names and hometowns to their addresses, and then checked one by one to see if there were any of them that did not match the number. Book "Hand-painted porcelain first craftsmen roster".
Zhixing put away his good-talking appearance in the past, and said bluntly: "This booklet will be handed over to the Holy Lord in Kyoto soon, more than 30 people, and each of them will pass the eyes of the Holy God." ”
He swept over the instantly excited and frightened looks of everyone, and said word by word: "No matter what kind of mind you have, everything is important." ”
If nothing else, there is no guarantee that there will be no experts in this group of people who will travel to various places to spread their skills.
He said this, and the group nodded and responded.
Who would have thought that this job would be directly connected to the emperor...... The official kiln official kiln, the two county orders can order the construction of the official kiln, and the craftsmen of this kiln who still don't know that Qi You can convey the emperor's meaning!
At this time, many people put away their casual attitudes and didn't dare not be serious. If this is done well, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no one day when you will get ahead.
Hong's private kiln also became lively in the future, and it also became a place for Zhixing Qiyou's daily inspection.
Qi You Zhixing was busy outside, and his house was also very busy.
The two mothers-in-law sent by the Guo family picked out more than a dozen maids, two stewards, and four small servants in one go. After teaching, he sent two girls, two small servants, a steward and several deeds of sale to Chungui.
The steward's surname is Qiu, once in the merchant's house to do a small housekeeper, after the merchant fell to sell people to fill the shortfall, see people are stable, Chungui simply asked a few words and then planned to put people in the shop, two little girls a clever one is a gentle, the clever one is called Xiao Tao, the gentle one is called Xiaoliu, are used to doing work, to Chungui here for fear of being sold again, every day all the time to find a job to do.
Chungui persuaded him a few times that he couldn't, so he went with them, and he would talk about it after a long time.
The two little girls are even younger, and they are not very old, looking for work with the two little girls, but seeing that there is really no work, they actually picked up a sledgehammer and began to help the workers who came to open the house to dig the wall.
Chun Gui couldn't laugh or cry, but he also knew that the class here could not be changed.
You can't treat them equally, so you just want to be worthy of your heart.
In addition to the daily work of the last two girls, Chun Gui arranged the two of them at Cai's place.
Cai's belly is getting bigger day by day, and he is tired and panicked when he walks, and it is always reassuring to have someone around him to take care of him.
Because there were more people, Geng Rong and Liu Ren lived in the house of Qi You and Zhixing in the past according to the arrangement of Chun Gui, and the two were awkward for several days to get used to it.
In the past, no matter how good the spring return was to them, the two of them always wanted to treat themselves as subordinates, but they lived in the yard, and the new girls called them young master one day, which scared the two of them, and they hurriedly waved their hands and didn't recognize them, but their hearts were warm.
The family lived day by day, the wall between the two houses was gradually torn down, Zhixing Qiyou became busier and busier, and the shop before the spring return was also reopened in the hope of everyone.
There is no trace of air conditioning in the spring, several flowers and plants on the side of the road also have a posture of rising, after taking off the bloated cotton clothes, there are many people rushing to the spring return here, and the bold people know that the spring return here dug an ice cellar a few years ago, and there are several large jars of ice, and they want a bowl of milk ice when they open their mouths.
It's more about asking for a bowl of hot sugar water and hot milk as before, and finding a familiar seat to sit down.
Some people want something to eat, some people are arguing, some people are gossiping about this winter, and some people go up to the second floor to paint......
Whether it is the knocking and beating around the two counties that has infected everyone, or the fact that the drought has passed for a long time, compared with last year, after the cold winter has passed, the town's popularity is extraordinarily high.
Spring is the new season of sweet potato sowing, and Guo Zhanpeng was finally driven out of the house by his father and mother with his burden, and squatted listlessly at the door of the spring home.
