Chapter 12 Wanjia East Courtyard [Asking for Votes]

PS: Now there are six new books on the list, and for every one place that rises, add two more chapters!

It is said that Zhao Yuan was taken to the East Courtyard, and along the way, Xu San kept telling some of the rules of the East Courtyard.

When he arrived at the East Courtyard, Zhao Yuan finally understood why Xu San was sure to introduce him to work.

A hundred meters away from the residential building of the Wanjia compound, there is a three-meter-high wall that divides the compound into two, and the east courtyard is on the other side. From the outside, the Wanjia compound is a courtyard, but in fact, it is two independent courtyards, and between the two courtyards, there is only one iron gate, the iron gate is locked, and there is a gatekeeper, and the door is not opened casually.

Through the iron gate, the building structure of the East Courtyard is clear at a glance.

Compared with the west courtyard, the east courtyard appears larger and more open, there is no garden pool, and there are bluestone slabs paved with semi-hidden drainage ditches at intervals. In the middle room, there is a row of brick and wood warehouses like a hill, and the doors of some warehouses are open, and the workers are busy coming in and out, and you can see the mountains of goods inside.

At the east end of the east courtyard, there is a space of tens of thousands of square meters, with some bantam horses carrying goods tied to horse stakes, and some carriages carrying heavy goods. Against the wall, there is a row of rooms and a horse gallery with dozens of bantam horses, and several black earth dogs chained under the horse verandah, lazily lying in the grass nest to sleep or gnaw bones, deaf to the busy crowd around them.

Busy.

This is Zhao Yuan's first impression of Wanjia East Hospital.

There were people coming in and out of the east courtyard, and among them, there were some businessmen, who either counted the goods, or reconciled accounts, or squatted in a circle on the ground to gesturing something.

Obviously, the East Courtyard is the warehouse of Wanjia and the distribution center of Wanjia's business, and traders within a radius of hundreds of miles are buying here.

Walking into the east courtyard, on the west side of the wall, there are a row of more than 30 houses, which should be a place for some people to eat and live. Zhao Yuan saw that two cook-like people were slaughtering a goat in the open air, and several women were washing vegetables by the well on the side of the yard.

On the whole, although the buildings in the east courtyard are complex, they are not messy, there are dozens of huge warehouses in a row, neat and tidy, the horse corridor is opposite to the place where the workers live, and there is a yard in the middle, which does not want to be mixed, it is orderly, and the snow is cleared, extremely clean.

There is a housekeeper in charge of the east courtyard, the housekeeper's surname is Zhu, his name is blessed, short, fat, and red-faced. Xu San said that because of his loud voice, he was nicknamed "Zhu Cannon", and some people called him Zhu Cannon, even Wan Ziyu and Chen were also called so.

After Xu San took Zhao Yuan to register with Zhu Dacang, he explained and advised, and Xu San left.

"Zhao Yuan, right. Zhu Dacang patted Zhao Yuan.

"Yes, yes. Zhao Yuan looked flattered.

"Although Xu San's guy is not kind, but I also have some friendship with the cannon, over the years, Xu San has not arranged for anyone to come in, this time it depends on his face, take care of him, see where you are?" Zhu Dacang pointed to the horse corridor opposite.

"Marshall?"

"Yes, Marshall. In the future, you and Jia Deaf take care of those bantam horses, clean and clean every morning and evening, and then feed some feed, and record everything when you are sick and take medicine. ”

"Fake deaf?" Zhao Yuan was stunned.

"No, no, he's deaf and dumb. His surname is Jia, and we all call him Jia Deaf. Don't worry, he understands it in his heart, and if you don't understand anything, he will tell you. Zhu Dacang smiled and walked towards the corridor first, and Zhao Yuan followed closely behind.

At this time, Jia Deaf in Zhu Cannon's mouth was bending over and turning his back to the outside to add feed to the manger, Zhu Dacang walked behind him and slapped it fiercely, startling Jia Deaf who was busy, and wanted to hit with the spoon in his hand.

Zhu Dacang gestured at Jia Deaf a few times, and Jia Deaf showed an excited expression on his face, dancing with his hands, and making a "babbling" sound in his mouth, as if he was very angry.

"Hehe, he said he was in good health and didn't need help from others. Zhu Dacang told Zhao Yuan.

“...... Yes, ok. Zhao Yuan looked at Jia Deaf, who was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left.

"Madame has long asked him to retire and let him live for the rest of his life, but he just can't bear this compound, and Madame has no choice, so let him keep it first. Not long ago, Jia Deaf had a serious illness, and the housemother told him that there are suitable people to help him do it first, adapt to it, these short-legged horses are not easy to greet, and you have to be careful. ”

"That'...... That ......"

"It's okay, I told him, you can't miss the matter of the master's mother, let him take you first, although he doesn't want to, but he has agreed. ”

"Oh...... Xie Lu Xie Zhu Ye. ”

"It's called Brother Pao, Zhu Ye is too ugly, you just stay here, there are two rooms on this side of the corridor, Jia Deaf lives in one, and there is an empty one in the sundries, you clean up first, and later Jia Deaf will take you to receive daily necessities such as bedding and salutes. ”

"Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie Pao. ”

"Xiao Zhao, do a good job, do a good job, stay here in the future and marry your daughter-in-law. ”

"Xie Lu, Brother Xie Pao. ”

"Okay, you clean up the room first, the salary starts to be calculated today, however, you can not work, familiar with the environment, and officially start work tomorrow, if there is a shortage of manpower, the hands and feet are sharper, this yard does not support idlers. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

After Zhu Dacang left, Zhao Yuan saw that Jia Deaf ignored him, so he walked around the corridor and found two rooms, one of which was empty, the bed board was full of some sundries, and the roof was covered with cobwebs.

Zhao Yuan moved some sundries to the feed room next to him, and just after cleaning the room, Jia Deaf stood behind him like a ghost.

"Babbling babbling ......"

Looking at Jia Deaf's gesture, although Zhao Yuan didn't quite understand the specific meaning of the action, he knew that he wanted to take him to get the bedding and other things.

Jia Deaf actually dragged a board car.

Zhao Yuan followed Jia Deaf to the back warehouse, found a warehouse keeper, and opened the door of a warehouse, which was full of quilts and all kinds of cloth, piled up, giving people a very shocking visual impact.

Under the negotiation of Jia Deaf, he received two sets of bedding salutes, and then, Zhao Yuan signed an account book, and Jia Deaf and the warehouse keeper also signed their names.

After carrying the bedding and salute onto the cart, Jia Deaf took him to find several other warehouse keepers, received some daily toiletries and a change of clothes, and after finishing it, dragged a cart back to the corridor.

When receiving daily necessities here, Zhao Yuan had a general understanding of Wanjia's business.

Wanjia business is very extensive, dishes, pottery, quilts, cloth, clothes, needlework, shoes, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and some ironware, sickles, farm tools, candles, messy everything. Basically, everything that is closely related to a normal family, is all here.

From Zhao Yuan's point of view, the projects operated by Wanjia are all cheap products, low added value, and it seems that the business scale is very large, but in fact, the benefits are extremely meager, and they are completely dependent on quantity.

After returning to the corridor, Jia Deaf ignored Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan made the bed alone and changed into a new set of cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes.

Looking at the clean sheets, the warm bedding, and feeling the softness of the clothes, Zhao Yuan felt like a world away.

Now, it's settled.

After being stunned for a while, Zhao Yuan walked out of the east courtyard and walked around, nodding his head and waist, and mixed some people with familiar faces.

Careful observation, Zhao Yuan found that from time to time there will be some farmers carrying grain firewood to the east courtyard of Wanjia, a question, only to know that these farmers are renting the land of ten thousand families, and in the autumn and winter, they will carry grain or materials needed by ten thousand families to offset the rent, and when they go home, they will bring some horse manure by the way. Of course, horse manure has to be exchanged for grain, and in Xujiaqiao, fertilizer is a precious thing.

This 10,000 East Courtyard is like a huge machine running non-stop, and everyone is a cog in this machine.

No wonder so many warehouses are needed.

Zhao Yuan shook his head, according to his standards, this is the most primitive and backward business model, and the return is extremely slow, and the biggest benefit is the word "stability". In these businesses, although the profits are meager, the risks are also very small.

Wandering around until noon, Jia Deaf beckoned him to eat.

The food is good, except for large pots of capers and seasonal vegetables, everyone can get a big bowl of fragrant mutton soup, and a few pieces of fat mutton in the broth with green onions floating.

When dividing the mutton soup, Zhao Yuan found that there was obviously more mutton in his bowl than those workers.

The rice is served by itself, and you can eat as much as you want.

Judging from the envious eyes of some peasants and the superior eyes of the workers in the East Courtyard when they eat, it is very respectable to work in Wanjia.
