Chapter 26: Recruiting Female Workers
The person sent by Emperor Xuanwu to Yun Shu to help her go out of the palace regularly to collect information was the prince who was in charge of purchasing in his palace in the past.
The prince has often been in and out of the palace over the years, and he is very familiar with all parts of the capital, but because he has been old in the past two years, he is always a little unable to carry heavy objects, so he just happened to be idle.
I heard that Yun Shu wanted to buy a cheaper and more spacious Zhuangzi, but he didn't have a clue, so he volunteered to take Yun Shu and them to a very simple Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs of the capital-
"Your Highnesses, please."
“…… What kind of place is this? ”
After riding in a bumpy carriage, he finally heard about the place, Yun Chuhuan originally thought that it would be a royal palace, a hot spring villa or something like that.
As a result, I opened the curtain and saw that there was no carved beam, painted column, small bridge, and flowing water.
The rooms all looked similar to those of the common people in the city.
His Royal Highness the Venerable Sixth Prince only glanced at it, and his brows furrowed fiercely:
"Isn't there any other Zhuangzi to choose?"
"Back to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, there are other Zhuangzi, but either they are too far away from the city, or the Zhuangzi is too small and not spacious enough, or the price is too high."
The prince said respectfully:
"Only this one is the most in line with Her Royal Highness's requirements."
"The ...... with a high price"
"I think it's good here!"
As soon as Yun Shu saw Yun Chuhuan's rich expression, he knew what he was trying to say,
She directly interrupted before the other party finished speaking:
"After all, this Zhuangzi will be a slightly larger small workshop in the future, and it is not for you to come here to play and live, what do you want to be so exquisite?"
“…… Well, okay. ”
Hearing that he didn't need to live, Yun Chuhuan reluctantly agreed:
"You continue to read Zhuangzi, and I will stay in the carriage, just so that I can continue to read the booklet just now."
"No way!"
What if this kid has to ask her to remove the second article after reading it?
That article is put on it, but it is very useful!
Yun Shu grabbed his back collar and dragged the person down:
"What founder doesn't even look at his future industry?
In the future, if you tell people that the Beijing Weekly is yours, and someone asks you questions about this Zhuangzi, and you can't answer anything, people will think you are bragging! ”
"Who would ask this broken Zhuangzi if they have nothing to do!"
Yun Chuhuan muttered reluctantly,
But I have to say that Yun Shu's words really hit his heart, after all, he smashed down 100,000 taels of silver without blinking an eye, isn't it just so that he can show off to others that the Beijing Weekly Report is his thing in the future?
If someone thinks he's bragging because of a little broken Zhuangzi, he'll really be angry!
humming and chirping and getting off the carriage along Yun Shu's strength, Yun Chuhuan raised his chin slightly, and paced like an uncle:
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look!"
"Huh."
Seeing that this ancestor finally moved his steps, the prince hurriedly bowed his waist and led the way in front:
"This Zhuangzi was actually a place where foreign merchants bought and brewed wine, and wanted to open their winery to the capital.
But later, it is estimated that because the wine brewed does not have any outstanding points compared with the original time-honored brands in the capital, everyone is still used to buying the wine of those time-honored brands, so it was not successful, and now they plan to sell the Zhuangzi.
At present, there are only a few part-time workers left who are responsible for taking care of Zhuangzi, and when His Highness decides to buy this place, he can replace all the manpower with his own. ”
"Part-time jobs?"
Yun Shu didn't expect such an incidental surprise:
"If you work for a short time, it should be the people who live near the capital, right?"
"Yes."
The princess confirmed her thoughts:
"There are those in the city and those in the nearby villages."
"That's great, please help the palace gather all those short-term workers, the palace has something to say to them."
"Hey, the minion is going to get someone!"
The master gave an order, and the prince naturally did not dare to delay, but after a while, he brought all the people in the village over.
There are more than a dozen in total,
At the beginning, they didn't know the identities of Yun Shu and Yun Chuhuan,
But listening to the shrill voice of the prince with court characteristics, he can also guess that the two luxuriously dressed little masters in front of him must be not small.
But even so, they didn't dare to guess too high,
Until the prince shouted out the respectful "five princesses and six princes", a group of people fell to their knees in an instant:
"Grass, grass people, little ones meet Her Royal Highness the princess! Temple, Your Highness......"
are all honest ordinary people, and ordinary officials are already very remarkable characters in their eyes.
I didn't expect that one day they would be able to meet such a noble existence as the princess and prince, and they didn't even know what the correct words were when they met these two.
One by one, they pressed their foreheads to the ground, stammering for fear of being condemned.
"Get up, don't be nervous."
In the era of imperial power, the people's awe of the royal family was almost engraved into their bones.
Yun Shu said on his lips that they should not be nervous, but he actually knew in his heart that this was just useless nonsense.
She simply went straight to the point:
"I heard that you are all people who live around here, and it just so happens that the palace plans to open a small workshop on this Zhuangzi in the future, and needs to recruit a group of female workers.
Come at the beginning of the day, you can go home at the beginning of the unitary hour, work for four hours, pack food, get one or two halves of silver every month, the requirement is to be careful, good eyes.
If there are people in your family or around you who are willing to come, you can ask them to come to Zhuangzi and sign up for the try. ”
Women?
Do you only have to work four hours a day?
Still wrapping up food?
There's even a half or two moons of silver??!
These conditions can be said to be more shocking than the other, if it weren't for the identity of Princess Yunshu, there is indeed some deterrence, these people are afraid that they will explode on the spot!
With such a good job, why only recruit women?
Could it be ......
I struggled a little bit boldly, and finally couldn't help but be the first to speak:
"Dare, dare to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, what kind of work is this female worker going to do?"
Don't be the kind of place where you want to sell your body in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, right?
The latter sentence, of course, no one dares to ask out loud,
But the subtle expressions on their faces also exposed their true thoughts in their hearts.
Yun Shu glanced at them lightly, very disgusted by this kind of malicious speculation, but he understood that this was because of the limitations of the times.
In the end, she just pulled the corner of her lower lip sarcastically:
"It's about printing books."
