Chapter 651: I Dare to Speak
Liu Ting wailed in his heart, and his own master Shangshu explained that it was best to talk about this matter with double the price of an ordinary workshop, but it seems that it will not work. He could see that Qi Younian had already planned to agree just now, and after listening to Wan Yan's words, he changed his words, and complained in his heart that Wan Yan had too many words, but he didn't dare to show it because of the prestige of the palace.
Zhang Cunhai glanced at Wan Yan, and Wan Yan smiled at him. Manager Zhang is naturally the elder he needs to look up to and respect, but the explanation of his own prince cannot be ignored.
Zhang Cunhai was not dissatisfied with Wanyan, he didn't come to talk to the Qi family about things, he just came to watch the excitement for His Majesty the Emperor. He was amazed that Qi Younian and Wan Yan had such a tacit understanding and would trust him so unreservedly.
After a while, Ye Xinyan came out directly from the back door of the Anguo Mansion and entered the courtyard of the Qi family.
After entering the door, she glanced at the circle of people in the room in surprise, an official, Wan Yan and another, who looked like a eunuch, and Liu Qing.
What is this combination?
Liu Qing hurriedly got up, stepped forward, and saluted Ye Xinyan.
Then, he introduced the group to Ye Xinyan and explained their intentions.
Miss Ye is very polite, and salutes a few visitors one by one. After saluting Zhang Cunhai very solemnly, he looked at him without concealment.
It turns out that this is the most faceful chief eunuch in front of the emperor? Isn't it very solemn, it looks very dignified, where is that kind of feminine atmosphere, or those movies, TV series, legends or something that kill people, it's just a good person, and it's like a scourge.
Wan Yan coughed embarrassedly, when he first saw Miss Ye, he had been looked at by her like this. also looked at him very calmly, and then breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of indignation.
After that, as always, until now, I have respected him as an ordinary elder.
It's just that he understands that Miss Ye doesn't have any tricks to think about, and she is very open-minded, and it is said that Manager Zhang is also a good person, although his means are powerful, but he does not have bad intentions.
But in case the chief manager has been held by people for so many years, is he willing to make people pay extra attention?
To Wan Yan's relief, the eldest lady looked at Mr. Zhang's eyes, just like looking at a well-known character for a long time, and there was not much inquiry. And after looking at it, the look on his face was relaxed, and it looked like he was immediately relieved, which made the person being looked at feel a lot more comfortable.
Looking at Zhang Cunhai again, there was no displeasure, and the expression that looked at Miss Ye was much gentler.
Qi Younian also had a big head, and hurriedly said haha, inviting everyone to sit down again.
Ye Xinyan consciously stood behind Qi Younian, seeing that there was silence in the field, no one spoke, he looked at Wan Yan and Liu Qing in surprise, and asked: "Uncle Wan, Manager Liu just said that he planned a wooden track, which is a matter of the Ministry of Industry. You two are from the Yuwang Mansion, how could you be involved in such a thing? ”
Liu Ting and the other two officials had a toothache when they heard it, and the woman spoke a little more directly. Did she mean that these two people in Yuwangfu were nosy and shouldn't come over?
Zhang Cunhai's eyebrows moved, what does this eldest lady mean, is it to let the people of Yuwangfu stay out of the matter, or to explore the attitude of ten thousand words?
Of course, Wan Yan didn't care about what Ye Xinyan said, so he cleared his eyes and said, "Your Highness sent the old slave to make a recommendation to several adults in the Ministry of Industry, so that they don't know each other with the eldest lady and it's not easy to communicate." ”
"That's right." Ye Xinyan said, I'm relieved.
"Excuse me, my lords. Now that we are at the end of the year, and the Chinese New Year is still a few days away, our own store has been busy, and the craftsmen and stewards have not rested before. At the end of this year, we always have to give people a few days to sort out the housework for the New Year, and we won't take this job. A few adults are working in the Ministry of Works, and there are a lot of people who want to come to do the work under them, so how can you find a few idle people to do this? ”
Zhang Cunhai picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly. This eldest lady is really direct enough, she doesn't ask much, she just replied directly, this is the prelude to the price increase?
Liu Ting was a little dumbfounded, he was sent by Lord Shangshu to discuss this matter, and the lower the salary, the better. But the eldest lady didn't take the job when she opened her mouth, and they didn't give him room to negotiate.
Immediately, Liu Ting was a little annoyed, the officials of their Ministry of Industry, not to mention his grade, were a small official in charge of practical matters in the Ministry of Industry who dealt with craftsmen, and he had never suffered such grievances.
But she is the granddaughter of An Guogong and the partner of His Royal Highness King Yu, even if he is annoyed, he can't afford to provoke him. However, could it be that he couldn't do things in a low voice?
Zhang Cunhai was served by the emperor, and he was able to come to Qi's house, of course, because the emperor was willing to do it, as for the price, it depended on how the officials of the Ministry of Industry discussed it with Miss Ye, provided that the matter was done before the year.
Zhang Cunhai looked at Wan Yan, Wan Yan looked at Liu Qing, Liu Qing hurriedly stood up, first hugged his fists at Qi Younian and saluted, and said in a loud voice to make trouble for Old Man Qi.
Then he smiled at Ye Xinyan and said, "Miss, forgive me, it's just because it's the New Year, and other families can't do it in this time, so I found Miss here." This matter is in a hurry, and it is really impossible to delay. ”
"Others can't do it?" Ye Xinyan's gaze slid over Zhang Cunhai, glanced at Liu Ting and the two officials of the Ministry of Industry, and said very happily, "That's okay, we are all the emperor's people, and it is within our duty to share the worries of the court." We reluctantly tried to do the job. ”
The corners of Zhang Cunhai's mouth twitched, he actually said it so arrogantly, but I don't know if he can stick to this arrogance.
Sure enough, Miss Ye continued: "However, this is a rush work, and it was a rush work a year ago, and the salary is probably more." ”
As she spoke, she looked at Liu Ting again.
Liu Ting's spirits perked up, as long as he was willing to speak, there was a discussion, "Before the official came here, Shangguan explained that it was natural to calculate the salary of the family more when he rushed to work this year. I don't know how many people you want to do this, and we will pay double the salary. ”
Ye Xinyan smiled when she heard this, and asked, "I don't know how the Ministry of Industry hires people to calculate the money?" ”
Liu Ting hurriedly said: "Each person has three taels of silver per month." ”
Ye Xinyan said with a smile: "The adult's ability to manage affairs is really strong, and you can hire a competent craftsman with three taels of silver." Don't tell you that our chief steward has fifty taels of silver per month, and there is an extra reward for the New Year's Festival. If you are in a hurry, the salary will be doubled, and the annual rush will be counted separately. ”
Liu Ting's face was a little ugly, where is your family hiring craftsmen to do things, it is clearly to raise an uncle.
Ye Xinyan smiled very sincerely, "The adults are in a hurry about this matter, and the little women have to participate, and the little women's wages are not calculated on a monthly basis." ”
Liu Ting was stunned, who can afford to hire the eldest lady of Anguo Mansion? Who would dare to hire?
"There are officials in the Ministry of Industry who do engineering documents, and if there are many people in your construction bank, the lower officials will immediately send them over. What needs to be done, you should tell them. Liu Ting said hurriedly. I'm very happy about my own eagerness, now it's okay, merge the two things into one thing, and go back to show my merit to Lord Shangshu.
"Oh," Ye Xinyan seemed to think about it, nodded and said, "Okay, my lord will send three officials who are neat and familiar with fortifications, three hundred taels of silver each." We will exempt you from thirty taels of silver for project planning. ”
Zhang Cunhai hurriedly put down the cup in his hand. This eldest lady really dares to speak, he better put the cup down, in case he loosens his hand for a while, and the cup falls to the ground and breaks, how embarrassed it is.
Wan Yan and Qi Younian looked as usual, looking at Liu Ting and Ye Xinyan's back and forth.
Liu Ting was immediately dumbfounded, obviously at a disadvantage, and asked stupidly: "How much is the project silver?" Who gave three hundred taels per person to whom? "I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
