Zhou Congguang moved into Beicheng Sijin Courtyard and became neighbors with Lu Mingzhi, like a mouse that fell into a rice tank, so happy that he almost squeaked twice.

On the first day, he tentatively asked Steward Ye to buy him a few materials, among which was a fine iron that required a high forging process, and he was a little worried that he would not be able to get it.

Steward Ye is the exclusive steward assigned to him, and like Steward Yao of Lu Mingzhi next door, he is specifically responsible for solving all his needs.

A day or so, the materials he asked for were delivered, and he also tried those pieces of fine iron, which were forged very well and fully met his requirements.

If Xiao Yang blacksmith knew what he said, he would definitely mutter, the fine iron he had spent half the night forging was of course good.

Some time ago, he and his father gave a man and a woman a thing called Qu Yuan Plow, which fell into their eyes and was remembered.

Some time ago, people from the government came to their blacksmith shop and persuaded them to come to Houcheng to open a shop.

Xiao Yang blacksmith didn't want to go, they had been open in Xiangping's shop for many years, and it was good, there was no need to move the nest. And he is free and easy in Xiangping, who knows if he will be assigned a bunch of work by the government when he goes to Houcheng?

But his father, Lao Yang Blacksmith, disagreed, and after listening to the conditions offered by the other party, he felt that it was very good, and he made a decision to go north to Houcheng.

As soon as his father decided, the other party immediately paid the money and gave them a certain amount of compensation for moving.

As a result, they moved from Xiangping to Houcheng. In Houcheng, their blacksmith shop is three or four times larger than before, and in addition to taking on the work themselves, the government will also arrange some work to come.

His father asked him to work hard, he didn't just work hard, he worked overnight, and when he arrived in Houcheng, he earned more money, but he was also more tired.

Let's talk about Zhou Congguang's side, after the first batch of materials was used up. The second time, he asked for twice as much material as the first. Also the next day, the materials arrived. He looked at the materials stacked in the large empty room and contented himself into the experiment.

Later, when he asked for materials again, he completely let go, and if he wanted anything, he would directly ask for enough quantity, and he would no longer pick and search.

His master is right, the Lu family is a kind person, especially Lu Er, Lu Songli.

And the good thing here is that if he can't find the finished product, he will ask him if he can make it himself, what materials he needs, and they will provide it.

Zhan Fuzi and Wei Wenqian saw all this, but they were not in a hurry, they would first visit the scenic spots in Houcheng and the surrounding areas.

On this day, Zhan Ruoshui and Wei Wenqian took a little food to Xiangping, and when they arrived in Xiangping, they bought some daily necessities and went to Xiangping Juntun to visit a person.

Gu Zhang's original match was under the management of Mo Lianfeng, and after Mo Lianfeng was promoted, he promoted his subordinate Lin Zhong to take over his original position.

Therefore, now Gu Zhang is under the control of the forest.

Regarding the request of Zhan Ruoshui and his disciples after their arrival, Lin Zhong did not have much embarrassment, and he also accepted the gifts they gave.

How did his own peak, Mo Lianfeng, ascend, rise to the top, but he saw it with his own eyes in the forest, he couldn't do anything else, wouldn't he be able to draw a scoop according to the gourd? Anyway, just follow the learning, don't be cheap to these people who are exiled to the military camp, and don't be too harsh. Otherwise, maybe you have inadvertently offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and after the people come back, they will be finished.

So, Zhan Ruoshui and Wei Wenqian met Gu Zhang smoothly.

Gu Zhang was very happy to see Zhan Ruoshui, "Why did you come to Liaodong County?" ”

Zhan Fuzi said reservedly, "The little disciple's family warmly invited, but I can't, plus I haven't seen the little disciple for a long time, so I came." ”

Wei Wenqian snickered on the side, the master was obviously moved by the promise of contracting the round-trip Cheng Yi that Senior Brother and Second Sister Lu said.

Gu Zhang asked casually, "Is your little disciple still Sheng Peiguang?" He's also in Liaodong County? ”

Zhan Ruoshui shook his head, "Sheng Peiguang is not the youngest disciple anymore, and now the youngest disciple is Lu Mingzhi." I received it later, and he is now in Houcheng with his family. ”

Lu? Family, Hou Cheng, these words appeared together, and Gu Zhang couldn't help but pause, "Could it be that your little disciple is the son of the new county shou Lu?" ”

"yes."

Gu Zhang was excited, he didn't expect that he would go around and around with people he knew.

He immediately said, "Senior Brother Zhan, come and see me again before you leave Liaodong County." ”

"Okay."

Zhan Ruoshui's master and apprentice didn't stay long, and after speaking, he gave Gu Zhang the things he brought, and then left Xiangping Juntun.

Seeing the old man, Zhan Ruoshui's mood was a little low, his senior brother was also ill-fated, and he didn't know when he would be able to come out, all this was to blame for the fact that the thing he had studied before was too dangerous.

The master and apprentice had just returned from the outer city, and were seen by the sharp-eyed Jiang Yizhou, who was in the tea shop at this time, and hurriedly called out to the two and invited them in for tea. It just so happened that they were also thirsty, so they sat down to rest and drink tea, and they were not in a hurry to go back to the house.

"Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is on the list!"

As a shout sounded, the crowd rushed towards the headquarters of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

The headquarters of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is actually located not far from the county guard's mansion, not far from the tea shop where Zhan Ruoshui's apprentices are currently resting and drinking tea.

The illiterate people hurriedly asked the young brother who looked smart under the list, "This little brother, what is written on the red list?" ”

The young brother is the person who was arranged by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce to explain to the people, he cleared his throat and said, "There are two recruitments written on the red list, the first is to recruit folk craftsmen, who are verified and have excellent skills, once hired, they can enjoy a salary ranging from ten taels to three hundred taels of silver per year, in addition, they also send thirty catties of rice and flour grains and a number of oil and sugar every month." ”

Hearing this, many people exclaimed, "Is this true? "The treatment above is too good.

"What is a folk craftsman?"

"Folk craftsmen are ordinary people who have a skilled craft, such as potters, blacksmiths, weavers, carpenters, bricklayers, and so on." When the interpreter saw that there were still people who didn't understand, he simply explained it clearly, "For example, an old farmer who can farm the land, or a certain crop that is particularly good at serving." ”

"Another example is that I am particularly good at making clothes, and the clothes made are made with fine stitches, and some ingenuity is used on clothes, which often makes people's eyes light up."

When he explained this, everyone who heard it understood.

Someone asked, "My father is very good at servicing the mushroom, and the mushroom planted by his hands, one acre of land, at the time of harvest, is two or three buckets more than others." Is this okay? ”

"It should be possible, let him try it and sign up. Anyway, you don't need money to sign up, and there is no punishment if you can't pass. ”

"Is it okay to be good at making houses?"

"Yes."

"Is that all right? Is it okay to be good at knitting? ”

"Is it okay to be good at fish farming?"

"You can sign up, let's try it all."

Jiang Yizhou murmured, "A thousand dollars buy horse bones." ”

Lu Songli has always believed that the masters are in the people, and there is no shortage of wise people in the people. She wants to collect and summarize these experiences and wisdom, which can be used in the planting and breeding industry in the coming year to increase their income and production.

"Folks, there's a second recruitment. The second recruitment is to recruit a large number of laborers, and we are going to build a new county guard in Houcheng. The wages of large and small laborers are 12 yuan per day, including three meals, and they are full. The age requirement is between 16 and 36 years old. ”

When the common people heard this, they immediately started to talk about it.

"Will you really be paid?"

The salary is not much, 12 wen a day, and you can earn 20 wen a day when you go to the dock to carry a big bag. But the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce promised to include three meals, and it was full. That's fascinating.

They all eat two meals, one at noon, and only city people, or rich families, can eat three meals a day.

"Where can I sign up? I want to sign up! ”

"I'll go back and call my son!"

"I'll let my brother come!"
