Chapter 199: A Small Fortune
After the fireplace was made, everyone deeply felt the ease of use of this thing, so they simply let people get a few in the new house in the capital.
Xie Xiuwen made one in his study, because there is a chimney, so there is no need to worry about smoke, and if you used to use a charcoal basin, you have to pay attention to the fact that the windows can't be closed tightly, and you have to get some air conditioning in the end.
Now this is just right, a few firewood about the thickness of his arm are added in, and there is no need to look at it all the time, and the stove outside is cleverly designed, and the firewood is slightly shorter, so there is no need to worry about another fire.
Since he has this fireplace, Xie Xiuwen likes to sit in front of this fireplace to read books and drink tea.
It's good to have this in the house.,There's only one master in the house now.,Usually just rest in the study.,The house is warm and won't be too dry.,Anyway, it's better than sleeping on the kang.。
The house they bought later, only the inner courtyard has a dragon, Liu Ruolan and her baby daughter are not there, so he is too lazy to live in the backyard.
Xie Xiuwen was helpless, only saying that his own family had not been done yet, and he would go to get it for him after it was done, but he had to pay the money, because these were all tenant farmers who worked together, and they couldn't work in vain without making money.
Wang Jin is naturally easy to speak, the house he bought is in the outer city, and there is no earth dragon in the inner and outer courtyards, now looking at this fireplace, it is beautiful, and it will not be too dry and panicked when sleeping, so he set four in one breath.
Xie Xiuwen called the leader Qi Zhong over, and after giving an order, it was naturally up to them to pick up the work, of course, the money needed to be handed over, after all, this thing was not something they came up with, and the real master was the eldest lady who lived in the villa.
Ten taels of silver for a fireplace, Xie Xiuwen's colleagues alone lined up to book, and later Zhu Weng allocated more than a dozen men from the villa to work together, and finally finished the orders of these magnates before the heavy snow came.
just built a fireplace, and got more than 600 taels of silver, which shocked Liu Ruolan.
"A-Niang, although I came up with this idea, but they are the ones who actually do the work, and it is these long-term workers who really make up the idea, or will I give them these silver coins?"
Zhu Weng, who was waiting for the next leader, listened, and only felt that it was inappropriate: "It's a good thing for Miss to be kind, but you can't let them take advantage of all this advantage, you have to let them know that the master is good, and you have to let them know that it is thanks to the master that they can have such a creation, but they can't give it all." ”
Liu Ruolan asked Zhu Weng to hand over the list, counting that there were twenty-six people who had participated in this matter, and even Zhu Weng's grandson Zhu Xiaoyun had contributed.
"Well, according to the number of people on this list, each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver first, and the rest will be given according to the number of days they have worked."
That is to say, as long as you follow the instructions of the owner, no matter how many days you do, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver, which can make the villagers at the foot of the mountain happy.
How much meat do you have to buy for five taels of silver!
With these five taels of silver, you don't have to worry about the New Year.
Zhu Weng obeyed the order, first arranged the matter of the five taels of silver reward, and notified them to come over to receive the reward later.
Later, Liu Ruolan asked Qi Zhong to list how many days of work each person had done and handed it over.
Qi Zhong is one of the long-term workers who came back from Gaoyang County before, and now he works as an errand by Xie Xiuwen's side, mainly running errands and taking care of some chores in the house.
Qi Zhong is old, and he has a wife and children, and he knows some interpersonal things better than Douzi, Xie Xiuwen transferred him to his side for a few months, but he felt that the more he used it, the more comfortable it became.
After a day's work, thirty copper plates, and at last it came out, and the tenant farmers were to be paid nearly twenty taels of silver.
This money is not much, after all, it is more than 600 taels in total.
Liu Ruolan felt embarrassed.
According to the meaning of the good treasure, she thought that the big head would let the people below share it, but now she settled it according to the high salary, plus the reward, and now it is only more than a hundred taels.
"A-Niang, take out some more money to give to Zhu Weng, let him arrange a banquet at the foot of the mountain for a day, and let those who follow the work and their families come to eat, so lively and generous."
Liu Ruolan thinks it's okay, in this way, even the meat and vegetables with white rice and white noodles will be tossed out a lot of silver.
However, for the common people in the countryside, the silver is affordable, and the meat that reaches the mouth is even more affordable.
The person who was mainly responsible for the construction of this fireplace was Qi Zhong.
Liu Ruolan felt that this person was available, so she generously rewarded him with an extra ten taels of silver, which could also raise his reputation and give him a decent appearance.
The people of Qi Zhong's family were really happy, and they only felt that they had never thought about it in their lives, and they could get more than a dozen taels of silver just by doing an errand, and now their family didn't have to worry about it.
Don't underestimate this fireplace, a lot of craftsmen pondered around the repaired fireplace for several days, go home and get it themselves, but it can't be right, either the chimney does not run up, or the heating effect can not be achieved, or the firewood is easy to burn outside, which is too dangerous.
In this way, after trying a few times, people will not do anything, so as to save the trouble of these bricks.
Whoever repairs the fireplace, the raw materials are all from the master's family, and then Qi Zhong is only responsible for leading them to work, so that this fireplace is ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to pure earning.
Of course, it's not all cashiers.
Xie Xiuwen repaired a few fireplaces in Lord Wang Qinshan's mansion and Zheng Ge's old mansion, but naturally he didn't take a penny, only saying that it was his filial piety as a junior.
If he did it as a subordinate, the two adults naturally shouldn't do it, but he moved out of Xu Yuanqing's identity, and he was just their junior, so it was logical.
And there is not much money, so if you don't take it, you won't take it.
Wang Yanqing raised the injury on the mountain for a month, and after the doctor saw it, he only said that the child grew fast, the splint could be removed, and the bone had grown upright, but he still couldn't run on the ground, but he could walk slowly with a cane, but the injured leg was best not to use force, and it was best not to touch the ground.
Wang Yanqing can move and take a carriage now, but he doesn't want to go.
How nice it was to stay here!
In addition to a few friends of the same age, there is also a beautiful and cute little boy who can talk to him and bring him good food.
The most important thing is that it is simple and peaceful here, not like it is in the house, and you have to be a little more careful, who let him bear the name of an eldest grandson.
Thinking of the thief who dared to assassinate him this time, the young man's originally clear eyes were a little more ruthless.
When he met the benevolent Xie family, it doesn't mean that those who came to assassinate him could be spared!
