Mr. Bai stroked the sandwich glass and muttered to himself: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that there really is such a fantastic and magnificent thing in the world." ”

Shao Yi is a man after all, although he is surprised, he still remembers that things are in a hurry.

From the glass out of the oven to the people's repeated viewing and sighing, nearly an hour has passed.

Shao Yi reminded: "Time waits for no one, the craftsman who makes the palace lantern is still waiting, so let people send the glass over." ”

Mr. Bai was shocked at this time, and said with a smile: "Look at me, patronizing and sighing, I almost forgot about the serious thing." ”

He Zhongzheng and Qiao Chensheng led the workers, carefully divided the glass into components, bundled it firmly, and then made it shockproof, before sending it to the grinding workshop on the side.

On the side of the glaze workshop, Mr. Bai clapped his hands and focused the attention of the craftsmen and workers in the workshop.

"These two batches of glass are unusual, they have to be made in a hurry and presented to the emperor. The two batches of glass are in good condition, and there is no delay in time, and everyone present has a hard work.

Before, the owner said that the salary of the new year in these days will be three times that of weekdays, and the work can be done well, and there will be additional rewards. Now that the work is out, I'm going to calculate the income for everyone. ”

Sure enough, it was going to be cashed in, and the craftsmen were all attentive, for fear of missing a word.

Mr. Bai continued: "If you don't calculate the three times the salary for the New Year, you can ask at the account office when you stop working. As for the bounty, you can get it now! ”

Receiving the reward money, everyone still has a share, Mr. Bai himself is happy for these workers, and his voice is a little louder.

The payment of wages at the end of the month is expected by everyone, but the owner will reward the money, should it be paid now?

Everyone has a feeling of gearing up and eager to try. His eyes swept around, and sure enough, the small door next to him opened, and the bookkeeper of the kiln walked in with an account book.

Behind the bookkeeper were two young men, each holding a tray covered with red silk, which seemed to be not light.

The eyes of the craftsmen and workers lit up, and they all wondered in their minds whether there were silver or strings of copper coins on the tray.

Mr. Bai said with a smile: "The craftsmen who lead the workers will each receive ten taels of silver......

"Ten taels, ten taels of silver?!" Before Mr. Bai finished speaking, he caused a burst of exclamations from several craftsmen below.

They have been craftsmen for so many years, and the wages for a year of hard work in the past are only a dozen taels.

But now, in addition to the daily salary, there are ten taels of silver just for the two rushes during the New Year. What's the difference between this and being hit by a pie falling from the sky?

No, how many pies can you buy for ten taels of silver? Or the owner's reward is more cost-effective and affordable.

There are already people who are summing up, whether to add a piece of furniture at home, whether they can buy a silver hairpin for the mother-in-law at home, and two silk flowers for Niuniu.

The rest of the helpers and the workers who do chores are full of envy, and the craftsmanship is different.

If they do their jobs well and can be appreciated by the owner, whether they are their children can also come to the glass workshop as an apprentice. As long as his boy can learn this glass craft, he will not worry about marrying a daughter-in-law and starting a family in the future.

Mr. Bai smiled and stretched out his palm, pressed it down, and motioned for everyone to be silent.

When the exclamation and discussion subsided, Mr. Bai continued: "The deputy craftsman will be rewarded with seven taels of silver, the rest of the workers will be rewarded with six taels of silver, and the handyman will be rewarded with five taels of silver. ”

The cheers rang out, and two young handymen even jumped up with their fists raised: "Get rich, get rich!" ”

"It's a lot of money."

The older people slapped each other on the shoulders and said happy words, and their mouths couldn't be closed.

Then there was the sound of "Xie Dongjia's reward".

Xia Yanqing looked at it with a smile, in vain she was still hesitating before whether to deprive everyone of the happiness of the holiday.

How could I have thought that things were so simple, and the total was only more than three hundred taels of silver, which could make these people so happy.

This joy must be more than going home for the New Year.

I just don't know how heavy this happiness and gratitude is, and when someone gives more money, do these people put today's joy and gratitude behind and do that treacherous thing?

He Zhongzheng and Qiao Chensheng were also happy for everyone, but they still had a batch of work to do, "Okay, okay, don't make any noise." Hurry up and get the bounty and get started. ”

Immediately, the crowd hugged and flapped at each other, and lined up at the table where the bookkeeper was sitting.

When everyone walked away and there was no one nearby, Shao Yi looked at the look on Xia Yanqing's face before asking in a low voice: "How many of these grateful and contented people can you trust?" ”

Xia Yanqing's eyes still fell on the people who were full of joy, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

The guess in Shao Yi's heart was a little more confirmed.

He asked again: "I inquired, the glass outside has been sold for more than 300 taels of silver yesterday, if the price of glass continues to rise, I am afraid that some people will be interested in our glass business." Does Miss Xia have a way to deal with it? ”

Xia Yanqing heard the temptation in Shao Yi's tone, and in the follow-up matter, she really wanted him to help, so she asked rhetorically: "Shao Gongzi thinks I should have a response?" ”

"I think that the reason why Miss Xia sells glass at such a low price is that she doesn't want to raise the price of glass too high, so as not to produce a large amount of glass in the future, which will make people resentful of the business under the Xia family and Miss Xia's name."

Xia Yanqing glanced at Shao Yi several times in surprise, this guy, did he guess so accurately?

"Since Shao Gongzi said that this is the first, what about the second and third?" Xia Yanqing asked.

Shao Yi smiled and shook his head, "Miss Xia thinks highly of me, there is no third, only two." Second, it was Miss Xia who wanted people with ill intentions to see the huge benefits of Liuli, so that they could take action on the technology of Liuli Workshop. I don't know if I'm right? ”

"Yes." Xia Yanqing gave affirmation, and then asked, "And then?" Why did Shao Gongzi say this? ”

Since you said it, do something and help, that's how it should be, right?

"Well, isn't there a small share of me in it? I would like to ask Miss Xia, what can I do? ”

As soon as Xia Yanqing heard this, he was immediately satisfied.

Such a proactive and willing person, if she doesn't use it, even she will be sorry for herself.

"So, I thought, first of all, make it convenient for the thieves, and let them buy the men of the workshop with the money at will. We don't have to spend time staring, wait for two or three months......"

Shao Yi only heard her say the beginning, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried, afraid that Xia Yanqing would ask him to help keep an eye on the people in the workshop and whether he had betrayed his glass technology.

How many people do you have to send out to keep an eye on them for hours a day when there is no object of suspicion?

It's not that he's afraid to do things, it's that he doesn't have that many trustworthy people.

As it turned out, he was worried in vain. His daughter-in-law was unexpectedly smart, and just asked him to focus on people whose living expenses or words and deeds changed greatly after two or three months.

That's easy to do.
