The boys have to sign a one-year contract with the owner, and the things sold in the future can be divided into 0.5%. For every item sold, the owner will give the master 0.5 ingredient red. After a year, if you are willing to continue to sign a contract with the owner, you will sign a contract. If you don't sign a contract, you can go back to your hometown to become a master carpenter.

That's just a good thing! Especially this loom is a large piece, and some of the looms cost a few taels of silver! Some looms cost dozens of taels of silver!

Even if it takes ten days to make a loom, once it is sold, the dividend of 0.5% is at least about half a tael of silver. If you make three looms a month, you will have one or two halves of silver. It's a good thing that you can't find it with a lantern!

While everyone was gearing up, two young people were named out by the owner.

"Send them to Carpenter Cai." Lu Yingfang said.

The two young men were a little confused, but they were relieved to hear that they went to the carpenter, and they were learning the craft anyway.

Only the carpenters present sympathized with them. When I went to Cai Carpenter, I could only learn to make bamboo weaving, and there was no carpentry work.

Carpenter Niu admired Mrs. Lan, Carpenter Cai's skills were okay, but he was a little slippery, and his two apprentices didn't have the right eyes. I didn't expect to make a loom this time, and Cai Carpenter and his apprentice had no share.

Carpenter Cai also blocked his way for this, and asked the reason in a vicious voice. How did he know? It should be that the old lady inquired about Carpenter Cai's personality, so she didn't let him participate in the production of the loom, but just let him make bamboo weaving at home!

He also read the drawings, there are a lot of patterns, and the things he makes up can be sold for more than ten dollars. But compared to the loom, this is a drop in the bucket.

As for the ten young people who just came, two of them looked like they were hanging children, and I heard that it was their brother who originally came, and it was the old mother of the family who replaced them to earn money. The faces of these two people changed, but they still honestly went to Carpenter Cai to learn bamboo weaving. Or is it the Lord's family who pays for them to rent a house?

All the carpenters and young men lived in this empty house, and the proprietor also asked the old lady next door to cook, and brought the meal when it was ready.

Carpenter Cai and Carpenter Niu and several other carpenters were not happy when they heard that they were going to take apprentices for free. However, the proprietor said that if the objects made by these apprentices are sold, they will have a 0.5 share. If they sell even one loom, they will have an income. Therefore, when dividing apprentices, everyone is very active in grabbing people. When teaching these young people, the carpenters showed 120,000 points of spirit, and did not hide their secrets at all, just to teach these young people as soon as possible.

During the year, the apprentices have dividends for the things they make! Time is money, so they consciously started working right away.

Naturally, they didn't get the drawings out, and the looms they made now had a head start. If the drawings leak out first, wouldn't what they did be worthless at that time?

For their own interests, everyone is tightly covered. No matter how Carpenter Cai gave benefits, no one was willing to sell the drawings to him.

Lu Yingfang meant that they should work together to study this loom first, and build one first.

Probably because of the strength of the large number of people, plus they are all experienced old craftsmen, a loom was made in two days. Aunt Cen went up and tried it, and the weaving speed was more than one or two times faster, and the fabric was finely textured and durable.

"Everyone, are the people of Youzhou suffering?" Lu Yingfang suddenly said.

Nature is bitter, the real estate here is not abundant, the yield in the field is small, and the weather is bad half of the year.

Lu Yingfang's words were sonorous and powerful, "My goal is to hope that every person has one such machine in their home." When the time comes, the cloth from Youzhou will be sold all over Tai'an. After the year, I will promote these machines, and then you will be the leader, leading the people of Youzhou to live a good life. "Lu Yingfang's picture of the prospect is still very wonderful, there are still two months before the Chinese New Year, and they can try to make looms as much as possible.

Lu Yingfang hopes that they can divide up and work together, and each person will make a part and assemble it. In this way, everyone has a share of what is sold, and the speed is much faster. Because the merit value given by the cow carpenter was the highest, he became the team leader of the workshop, and in addition to the price on the contract, he also paid five more dollars of silver per month.

I don't know if there is a psychological suggestion, Lan Rongzhuan found that he is particularly easy to meet women.

On this day, Lan Rong transferred the manuscript to the academy, and Lan Rong turned to follow Lin Zi out in a carriage, but the car in front of him blocked the intersection.

Lin Zi asked, "What's going on ahead?" ”

The groom on the other side replied, "Hey, the axle is broken." At this time, a beautiful little lady got out of the car, fifteen or sixteen years old, with tears on her white little face.

She walked directly towards Lan Rongzhuan's carriage, and her voice was very beautiful: "This son, the slave family is sick and in a hurry to buy medicine, if you can let me ride, I will pay the fare." ”

If it was in the past, Lan Rongzhuan would definitely agree, but after being told by his mother, he felt that something was wrong. Even if the people of Youzhou are strong, but there is no maid by the side of a little lady, so she dares to take a strange man's car? Isn't that something you want to pick up?

Lan Rongzhuan refused very domineeringly: "Men and women don't kiss, girl, you see there is a newsboy over there, you give him ten copper plates, let him go to the car dealership to help you call a car!" ”

The lady's face froze, and no one would ever refuse her. I knew that she would have put on shabby clothes, so that she could use the reason of her poor family not to call the newsboy over.

"Childe, the slave family is really anxious, and the mother is very sick...... "The little lady said and began to wipe her tears, "The slave family is not afraid of people saying, as long as the son is tight-lipped." ”

Actually, Lan Rong thought that it was okay to give up the car and go on foot. But...... He sniffed and put on a lewd smile: "What's the girl's brand name?" How can your mother rest assured that you will come out alone? ”

The little lady's face turned white and she took a step back.

"Linzi, change your path." Lan Rong turned and shouted. He was proud in his heart, and felt that he had to show off to his mother when he went back, and he successfully avoided the beauty scheme.

Lan Rong waited in the study for a long time, and his mother was late. He couldn't wait to show off, which made Lu Yingfang very curious: "How do you know that girl is from Qinglou?" ”

Lan Rong turned and smiled: "That girl has musk on her!" ”

Lu Yingfang knew that musk was actually dried from the secretions in the male incense gland sac of the cervid musk deer, and it was a high-grade spice. The ancients liked to put a little bit indoors, and it would fill the house with fragrance.

The Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu met in the poem "Lilac": "Falling into the blue musk deer at night". Musk is an important raw material for the preparation of high-grade flavors. Ancient literati, poets, painters all added a little musk to the high-quality musk material, made 'musk ink' writing, painting, fragrant and quiet, if the calligraphy and painting are sealed, can be stored for a long time, anti-corrosion and moth-proof.

Although musk is good, it can make it easy for pregnant women to have an abortion, and it can also make people infertility. How could a girl from a good family touch this?

Even if the girl often writes and paints, the smell is not so strong.

Lan Rong used to go to Qinglou often and was very familiar with this taste.

And some of the people in Qinglou are subordinates, how can they let a young lady of this age come out to buy medicine? The little lady at this age is a leader in making money, what should I do if I run away? Even if you go out, you can't go without two or three people.

It's not true to buy medicine, it's real to hook up with him.

"I thought you'd give up the carriage!" Lu Yingfang said deliberately, let him be proud today.

Lan Rong turned his voice so loud: "The second family motto, don't give others a chance to steal things." I remember that! ”

The main reason is that the example that the mother said is too scary, a handkerchief may ruin a girl's reputation, and a letter may be framed for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!

In a house in the Qinglou, the Jinyi man sitting inside heard the announcement and continued to drop the chess pieces: "The other party guessed that you are from the Qinglou?" ”

Outside the compartment, the coachman and the little lady knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound.

The coachman boldly replied: "Master, that fat man may have been trained by his mother, and he didn't dare to make trouble when he first came to Youzhou." ”

Lan Rongzhuan in the Qinglou in the capital also had a good time with several women, all of whom were young girls. So they deliberately looked for someone according to his preferences this time, but Lan Rongzhuan actually turned around and ran away.

The chess player picked up a chess piece again: "Then let's start with the female dependents!" They just went to Youzhou and needed to hire people. ”

Two guests came to Centennial College. One was wearing a blue-gray robe, with gray hair and a thin figure, and his face was not very good, but he walked steadily, and he didn't need the little guy next to him. Another elderly man had a round body, looked like Maitreya Buddha, and smiled kindly.

Xiao Yuanmao was very surprised that the two could come over at the same time.

"Brother Xiao, we are uninvited, please don't be surprised." The fat old man said with a smile.

The thin old man didn't say anything, and nodded in greeting.

Xiao Yuanmao's whereabouts are relatively easy to grasp, he has to teach every morning, and he has to ask about the affairs of the academy, and he is usually in the academy in the morning.

"Lord Tao, Lord Song, please come to the guest room." Xiao Yuanmao took them over.

The first thin old man was the local Confucian Tao Lingzhi in Youzhou, who was reused by the emperor Tao Shangshu, who returned to Ganzhou to mourn because of the death of his parents, which coincided with the siege of Hui. He took the people out of the city to take refuge, but fortunately he walked quickly, otherwise he would have been slaughtered. Of the nine cities in Youzhou, five cities were occupied by the Hui Hui, and four cities were slaughtered.

Later, after General Song Guan recaptured the lost city of Youzhou, Tao Lingzhi automatically asked for help and was officially transferred from the capital to Youzhou as the governor. The year before last, he had already become a priest, and he was nearly seventy years old, and he wanted to live a leisurely old life. Second, his three sons have all become Beijing officials, and the eldest son is already a second-grade official. His children and grandchildren don't have to worry about him anymore, even if he is a leader, no one dares to shake his status in Youzhou.

The second fat old man looked at him smiling, and seemed to be very kind. In fact, he was Song Rong, the cousin of General Song Guan, and was once the highest-ranking military general in Youzhou. Ten years ago, he happened to return to Beijing to report on his work, avoiding the siege of the city, you must know that the military generals could not hold the city, either killed by the enemy, or demoted to the crime or to die to apologize. After he and Song Guan captured the city together, they went to Shi. After all, it is enough for the Song family to have a fierce general like Song Guan, and they can't let the army in Youzhou all be surnamed Song, the Song family doesn't dare, and the royal family doesn't allow it.

Xiao Yuanmao and Tao Lingzhi were both literati, and Tao Lingzhi spent a lot of effort on the re-establishment of Mingde College. But Xiao Yuanmao really didn't have any friendship with Song Rong.

When they got to the living room and sat down, everyone tasted tea, Song Rong was an anxious man, and before he picked up the teacup, he said the purpose of the trip: "Brother Xiao, I came this time because I received a letter from Captain Lan's mother, but I didn't expect Master Tao to receive it too." ”

Captain Blue...... To be honest, there is only one person who is currently the most famous in Youzhou, surnamed Lan, and the captain of the eighth grade. The Lan family who has just been stripped of their titles!

Xiao Yuanmao moved his gaze to Tao Lingzhi, and when he saw that the old man had just put down the teacup, he nodded slowly.

"Captain Lan's mother wrote a letter to the two of you?" Xiao Yuanmao also heard that the Lan family would not return to their ancestral hometown and wanted the family to come to Youzhou.

Why did Captain Lan's mother write to them? Let the two of them come to Centennial College to find him?

Tao Lingzhi slowly spoke: "Old lady Lan wants to open a bookstore in Pingyang Mansion, and hopes that the old man will donate books. ”

Xiao Yuanmao was a little surprised, he wanted to open a bookstore, but he dared to ask Tao Ling to donate books?

Song Rong nodded: "Mrs. Lan said that all the donated books are free for students to read, and I hope I can tell more stories about the army, and I will print them for the common people to read in the future." ”

Xiao Chengshan's calm face finally changed! Centennial College has a free library for students to borrow. Now I listen to Mrs. Lan's meaning, is she going to give free books to scholars in the downtown area?

And Mrs. Lan still wants to publish the script?
