Chapter 436: Gao is not happy?
Jin Rong also looked at the emperor very unhappily. As Ye Zi often said, what's wrong with the eldest lady of Anguo Mansion, she will still be hungry if she doesn't eat, she will still be cold if she has no clothes, and she won't be able to live without money. So, what's wrong with the prince of the country, don't you have to eat and dress?
Then the emperor said something that surprised the courtiers: "If you are asked to assist in doing things, is it just for you to do day work for others and raise people to be inert?" ”
......Although the emperor kept saying that he was the emperor of all the people and put state affairs first, the first thing he felt sorry for was his son.
Jinrong was immediately satisfied when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked: "Father Emperor Shengming." ”
When Jinrong got up, he swept around the courtiers with a provocative look. Don't his workers pay their wages when they do things? The courtiers are also wronged, they don't think so at all, okay?
In fact, regarding the wages of the labor in Jinrong's hands, there is no need to worry about the dignified prince Yu and the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion.
Jin Rong went to the court at the request of the emperor, and Ye Xinyan went to the temporary office of the rail car company as usual, and the small teahouse went to work.
Before she entered the door, she saw Liu Qing already waiting for her in the teahouse.
As soon as Ye Xinyan bought a foot, she saw that Liu Qing seemed to be waiting for her for a long time, and as soon as she saw her appear, she immediately greeted her.
She thought that there was something wrong with the rail car, so she subconsciously stepped back and looked in the direction of the track. The carriage is running normally, and the passengers waiting for the ride are also lining up in an orderly manner, so there is nothing out of the ordinary.
Guan He behind him urged impatiently: "What's the matter, do you want to go in?" Even if you don't go in, don't be at the door. ”
Ye Xinyan glared at Guan He, forget it, a man who is in a bad mood, especially a man with superb kung fu and a bad mood, is still not to be troubled.
As she walked in, she asked Liu Qing, who came up, "Steward Liu has already come?" But what's the matter? ”
Liu Qing greeted Ye Xinyan and walked to the table together, waiting for her to sit in her usual seat before she spoke: "It's a little something." Yesterday evening, the merchants in the two sections of Yingfang Street came to the small one and told them about the construction site. ”
Ye Xinyan was stunned when she heard this. That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? An Guogong told her in detail about the emperor's meaning yesterday, and the emperor seemed to plan to let Jinrong continue to help other construction sites to finish the laying of the rail carriage as soon as possible.
Jinrong still hasn't believed it there, these merchants who contracted the project have been found, could it be that these merchants can't wait for the New Year and want to drive out some projects before the year?
"What did they say?" Ye Xinyan asked.
Liu Qing probably told Ye Xinyan that in general, those merchants saw that the foremen and craftsmen of the Changping Street section helped the three adjacent sections to rush to work, and the speed was faster than they imagined, and it was completed in only ten days. These people consulted with Liu Qing, and wanted these craftsmen to go to them for advice after finishing their work, and said that the wages were negotiable.
Ye Xinyan took the tea handed over by Bining, and asked with a smile: "These people still say that wages are negotiable?" What do they mean that they are also willing to pay twice as much as their rush wages? ”
Liu Qing said with a smile: "Yes, these people are hot, our project is completed and can be put into operation." And they are still worried about how to settle the materials piled up at the construction site after the shutdown of the New Year. I think that even if I pay a little more, I am willing to put those materials on the track so that I can take care of them. ”
Ye Xinyan thought for a while and asked Liu Qing: "Have you ever asked Mr. Hu what he meant about this?" ”
Liu Qing shook his head and said, "Yesterday they came to look for the little one, it was already dinner time, and it was very late after finishing the matter." The little one thought that it was not a big deal, so he didn't bother the sixth master. When he came this morning, the little one left a message for Mr. Hu, who should be there in a while. ”
Ye Xinyan asked Liu Qing: "Steward Liu has been working outside, do you think this thing can be done?" What about the workers, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, are they willing to earn this double salary? ”
Liu Qing said with a smile: "Although people attach great importance to the Chinese New Year, it is equally important to make money to support their families. Nowadays, most of the coolies and craftsmen working on the construction site in the capital and around the capital are willing to stay and continue to work. ”
"That's good." Ye Xinyan said, "It's the twentieth day of the lunar month now, the weather is cold, and I'm working in the open air. If it is finally decided to help other construction sites catch up before next year, the salary and the double salary at night will have to rise. ”
Liu Qing was very relieved when he heard this. He knew that the people below who relied on coolies and crafts to eat were not afraid to work, but they were afraid that they would not be able to earn money if they did not work. Although the construction site is meticulous and compact, and you can't be lazy, you don't owe your wages.
Moreover, there is no such risky work as the lives of the suffering, so many people would rather work tirelessly than work on their construction sites.
The double wages of the previous night have already made the workers ecstatic. If there could be more, those people would be willing to do it.
Liu Qing said: "It would be great if it could be like this, and it would be a good thing to let the coolies earn more money and have a good year." It's just that I don't know if we will commit some people's taboos when we intervene in the entire track project? ”
Ye Xinyan sighed: "I do have this concern. Let's just discuss the feasibility here, whether we can do it or not, we have to discuss it with Mr. Hu before making a decision. ”
Hu Jing had some other things in his hands, and after he dealt with it, he came to the small teahouse, and the hour was not early.
Ye Xinyan heard Hu Jing talk about it, and only then did she know that Jinrong actually went to the court, no wonder it hadn't arrived yet.
Hu Jing still vacated the main seat, he sat on the chair on the side of the table, and said: "Yesterday, it was getting late, and the sixth master got a message from the palace, asking the sixth master to go to the court to listen to things. I guess that the sixth master will have to wait until after the next dynasty to come over. ”
Ye Xinyan nodded: "If this matter is small, it is indeed not big." But if you pull it big, you can also pull out big things. You have to have a valid reason to do something. If you can get the emperor to open his mouth to arrange errands, it would be the best. ”
Hu Jing had some guesses about Jin Rong entering the palace, "The emperor recruited the sixth master to go to the court at this time, and it was only possible to say that the track was laid." However, the construction works at those construction sites are too far behind, and even if they are rushed, they will definitely not be completed by the end of the year. It would be good to be able to load a large number of materials on the construction site, at least to avoid losing materials during the Chinese New Year. ”
It wasn't until the end of the day that Jinrong came to Changping Street with two Xiao Si and two Chang Sui.
Although Jinrong had something to discuss with Ye Xinyan and Hu Jing, he hadn't seen how the carriage drove on the tracks, so he couldn't help but be curious.
Therefore, Jinrong did not rush into the small teahouse, but delayed for a while not far away, until he watched the three carriages set off from the station at intervals, trotting smoothly and lightly on the track, and then walked into the small teahouse with satisfaction.
Jin Rong entered the door, and before he could sit down, he asked with a smile, "What are you talking about here?" ”
Hu Jing and the others stood up and welcomed Jinrong in, and when he sat down, Hu Jingcai smiled and said, "What we are discussing here, the sixth master must not think of." However, we can guess one or two about the sixth master's affairs in the court. ”
Jin Rong pushed the teacup handed over by Bi Ning forward, and said with a smile: "It's not unusual to be able to guess, my father recruited me to the court at this time, except for the track project, but there are also things you can't guess." ”
Speaking of this, Jinrong turned to Ye Xinyan, looked at her with a smile, and said slowly: "Father said that let the manpower on the fortifications of King Yu's Mansion and Ye Xinyan, the granddaughter of Duke Anguo, assist in the construction of other track projects and complete them as soon as possible." ”
"Oh, isn't that still helping other construction sites to catch up?" Ye Xinyan said this, only then did she notice that there was something else in this, and she was surprised, "The emperor arranged for An Guogong's granddaughter to do things in the court?" ”
Jinrong smiled and nodded to her: "Not only can you be the granddaughter of Duke An Guo, but you are also the woman who arranged errands for your father in the court, and no one will dare to ignore you in the future."
