Chapter 111: Money is more capricious
Ye Qinglin entered, and was a little surprised to see Zi Yu, but he didn't show it, nodded expressionlessly, first bowed a few polite words to the outsider, and then turned his head and said lightly to Zi Yu: "It turns out that Lord Ye is also here, and the grass people are rude." ”
It's a good thing to say, but there is not much enthusiasm, and the staff doesn't know their relationship, but I heard Minghyun mention that Ye Qinglin's temperament is a little cold and arrogant, and he really saw it today.
Myeonghyun's urgent letter was sent to the post house yesterday, informing Ye Qinglin that the people from the Ministry of Industry had set off and would arrive in Chuankou County in the near future, and asked Ye Qinglin about his illness, and said that if he was well, he should not rush back to the imperial capital first, and sort out the situation in Kawaguchi County in advance.
The letter also said about Bao'er, and Myeonghyun Dao had already sent someone to investigate, so that Ye Qinglin didn't have to worry.
Regarding Myeonghyun's arrangement, Ye Qinglin actually had already prepared in his heart, even if Myunghyun didn't write a letter, and the people from the Ministry of Engineering came, he wouldn't be able to leave.
The people from the Ministry of Industry are here to mine copper ore, Ye Qinglin naturally needs to go there and keep an eye on it, when the time comes, there will be a little chaos when there are many people, what he wants to keep an eye on is not to let those soldiers and civilians walk around, it is very close to their place, if he finds that place, it will be a bad thing.
Minghyun greeted this staff member in the imperial capital, and the project of the place in the mouth of the two rivers was all decided by Ye Qinglin, after the people from the Ministry of Industry came here, before going to the county office, the staff had already met with Ye Qinglin and made an appointment for dinner.
When he came back from the county office, Ziyu naturally needed to be accompanied, so he ran into it as a matter of course.
Hehe, grass people! Ziyu accompanied Shangguan as the lord of a county, the eldest brother who called himself "grass people", but he could let the people sent by the imperial court wait for him to open the banquet, he didn't know that his eldest brother had such ability!
"So ...... two?" Wailang was even more surprised than them, knowing that both of them were surnamed Ye, but they didn't want to be brothers!
"Let the adults laugh!" Ye Qinglin barely squeezed out a smile and didn't look at Ziyu.
"Don't blame me, my lord is ashamed! Ashamed! Ziyu was embarrassed.
Not to mention the old things between him and Ye Qinglin, it is obvious that they are two brothers, who are in Kawaguchi County, but they don't interact with each other, so that outsiders can see that they are obviously ugly.
Family affairs are really embarrassing for people to see through at a glance!
Ziyu is a little unnatural, Ye Qinglin is a brother, he should be respected, and the outsider is a Shangguan, he must be respected, here, it seems that he is very humble.
Why can I see Ye Qinglin everywhere? He rushed to take the exam in the imperial capital, lived in the Bafang Inn, and saw Ye Qinglin's people walking on the street from the window at night, he became an official and came to Chuankou County, Ye Qinglin appeared in front of him as a VIP again, as if in this Nanping country, people without him can't get there!
He respectfully called Ye Qinglin's eldest brother, Ye Qinglin called himself "grass people" extremely cold and arrogantly in front of him, this is not self-humility, it is banter, it is hostility, it is cold-eyed, it is to take him seriously, so that he lost face in front of Shangguan with this county order,
Zi Yu's heart was full of bitterness, it was really unfortunate, when did he meet it badly, but it was in front of his superiors.
Yuan Wailang felt that the atmosphere was awkward, after all, he invited the person, although this place is his biggest, but Ye Qinglin is Minghyun's person, he can't afford to offend, if this county order Lord Ye is Ye Qinglin's brother, then neither of them can afford to offend.
Hurriedly picked up the wine jug, poured them all full of wine to play a round game, and just had a meal, why bother making it so embarrassing!
"Two, today the official and your two brothers have a fate, come and come, drink, no one is allowed to shirk, stealing and playing tricks, if you catch it, you will be fined three cups, and the official will drink first as a respect!" After saying that, I drank it first.
Ziyu hurriedly got up, held the wine glass in both hands and said, "It's a shame to be a lower official, it should be a lower official!" ”
Ye Qinglin stared at a certain place on the table, his face was expressionless, he didn't speak, he didn't serve wine, and he didn't answer Ziyu's words.
"Ye Gongzi?" Seeing Ye Qinglin's cold face, the two principals got up with a wine glass and walked to his side, warmly inviting him to drink, wanting to help the outsider.
"Qinglin occasionally feels cold, has not yet recovered, should not drink too much wine, toast three cups of staff and the two principals, Qinglin will leave first! When Qinglin is safe, I will have a good drink with the staff wailang and the two principals! Ye Qinglin first clinked glasses with the staff wailang, poured it himself, and gave a toast to one of the two principals, and after drinking, he got up and left.
left behind the stunned staff and the principal, as well as Ziyu with a helpless face.
Knowing that entertaining Shangguan would not be easy, but he didn't expect it to become so embarrassing, and wanted to redeem Shangguan's impression, Ziyu felt that he was powerless.
Before Yin'er appeared, they could still say a few polite words between their brothers, although they couldn't help it, they wouldn't be in such a situation today, they forced out a smile without taste, and after eating the meal bitterly, Ziyu came out of the Kawaguchi post station sullenly and walked slowly back to the county office alone.
In a window facing the street on the upper floor of the post station, Ye Qinglin looked at Ziyu's back as he slowly walked away, his eyes were sharp!
Ye Qinglin didn't even bother to do acting, this was his consistent temperament.
He knew that he might have to stay in Kawaguchi County for a while, and he would not leave until the people from the Ministry of Industry had finished mining the copper ore at the earliest, and the manor would start construction soon, and if there was no other urgent matter, it was estimated that Myeonghyun would not let him leave Kawaguchi County.
In that case, let's say hello!
"Du Jian!" Ye Qinglin shouted.
Du Jian immediately rushed in from the outside, he reacted very quickly to his master, came to Ye Qinglin's back and arched his hand: "Eldest son, my subordinates are here!" ”
"What about Qin Shuyu?" Ye Qinglin still had his back to him.
Before Du Jian could reply, Qin Shuyu rushed in from the outside like Du Jian, these two are inseparable everywhere now, as if they were wearing a pair of pants.
"The eldest son!" Qin Shuyu hurriedly stepped forward to reply.
"Early tomorrow morning, Du Jian will go to pick up the materials and send them to Liangchuankou, and the materials behind will be delivered one after another, you take someone to be responsible for the placement and care, Qin Shuyu will recruit craftsmen, recruit at least a thousand strong men, and start building the manor in a few days, you must always explain to your subordinates, look at the craftsmen, don't go where you shouldn't go." Ye Qinglin was still facing out of the window, and commanded lightly.
"Eldest son, how much is this craftsman's salary for a day?" Let him recruit craftsmen, he always has to talk to people about wages, Qin Shuyu is meticulous when he asks this, he can't wait for the people to come to ask for wages, and he will come to ask for instructions.
"One hundred coppers a day! Billed monthly! When Ye Qinglin said this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but Du Jian and Qin Shuyu behind him couldn't see it.
"So much!" Qin Shuyu and Du Jian shouted out at the same time.
One hundred copper a day, three taels of silver a month, this good work, the people are afraid that they will squeeze their heads to grab it, this is indeed too much.
Thinking that he Qin Shuyu was in the Hou Mansion, he had always been paid one or two taels of silver, this was still an errand that everyone was jealous of, and later followed Ye Qinglin to his birth and death, Ye Qinglin did not treat him badly, and often rewarded, he was not bad for silver, but this craftsman could get three taels of silver a month, it was really unbelievable, Qin Shuyu was even afraid that the people would not believe it, and he would be scared and dare not come.
Where do they know Ye Qinglin's thoughts, in today's Chuankou County, the people of all townships and pavilions are cultivating the wasteland in the mountains, and they can't spare time at all, it stands to reason that Ye Qinglin should avoid this period of time when he builds a manor, and then start building it in the next year, and the craftsmen will be all over the ground, recruiting a craftsman for a tael of silver, but he prefers to start at the end of this year.
It's not that he has a lot of money and has no place to put it, and it's not that he doesn't want the people to reclaim the farmland that belongs to them, but it depends on who is the prefectural order of this Kawaguchi Prefecture.
His second brother, Ziyu, has been so smooth since he was a child, he still endured it when Ye Yanqing was alive, and now, let him Ye Qinglin come to see the ability of this second brother!
"Do as I am told!" Ye Qinglin smiled without retreating, turned his back to Du Jian and Qin Shuyu, and continued to smile coldly.
On the second day, Du Jian took people to the outside of the county early in the morning to wait for the carriage and horse team to transport materials, and Qin Shuyu also led a group of people to post notices recruiting craftsmen in various streets, houses and alleys in the county.
When the post in this county town is finished, he will send someone to the countryside to post it, in short, Ye Qinglin confessed, and he wants to paste it all over Chuankou County, so that everyone knows.
For this craftsman, it is not that those who come do not refuse, what Ye Qinglin asks is that there must be a strong man, the elderly and children do not need to ask, and the skillful woman can collect some cooking food and give one or two silver a month.
It took a whole half day to post the conspicuous place in the county, and after the lunch was over, he sent someone to the countryside to post it.
As soon as they returned to the Chuankou Post Station, before Qin Shuyu and the others had time to eat a mouthful of food, the gate of the post station was crowded with people in the city, surrounded like iron buckets.
One by one, their eyes flashed, and they asked if it was true that they had three taels of silver a month to be a craftsman in Liangchuankou.
Qin Shuyu had no choice but to put down his rice bowl, let someone set up a platform at the door, brought paper and pencils, and while responding to the people's questions, when he saw a suitable one, he asked him to write down his name and his own address, and Qin Shuyu, who was busy, grinned.
I think back then, he was in Taoyuan Village, he was a wild boy in a mountain village, his family was poor, and his sister Yin'er couldn't eat enough, and he also dreamed of being an official, once turned over, above people, unexpectedly, the will of heaven was unpredictable, he lost his fame, and he was also depressed, but today, he was hugged by a group of people and respectfully asked long and short, he felt that this was no different from the official on the errand, and even full of pride, I don't know if his uncle Hua Changting saw him today, will be a little comforted.
The recruitment of craftsmen seems to be going very smoothly, and the news of three taels of silver quickly spreads in the city, Qin Shuyu thought, the speed of transmission among the people is more than eight hundred miles hahaha!
The sun is slanting in the west, and it has only been half a day's work, and more than 100 men have been selected, all of whom are strong men from 20 to 40 years old, leaving their addresses, waiting to be informed when the work starts, and they will come to the designated place to concentrate, but in the current situation, even if Qin Shuyu does not send someone to inform him on the day of construction, these strong men who are recruited will come to the post house every day to ask, when will the construction start!
After a day of fermentation in the city, Ziyu and Hua Cry in the county government received the news.
None of them have ever been out of the county government today, and Hua Weeping heard the cook talking in the back kitchen in the evening, what man went to Liangchuankou for three taels of silver, and she was stunned on the spot.
Quickly find Ziyu and ask where Minghyun is, Liangchuankou built Minghyun's manor, this guy, at this time, spent a high price to recruit strong men, this is about nothing to Ziyu, it's just that the farmers are a year slow to have a decent scale of fields, but this is a disaster for Hua Xi.
Hua Cry hurriedly asked, Zi Yu's face was not much better than Hua Cry, he couldn't tell her that this was not Ming Hyun doing it, it was his eldest brother Ye Qinglin!
