Chapter 88

Wancheng shipyard.

Although the weather is still cloudless, but I do not know why Zheng Yue's heart or feel particularly irritable.

My mother's condition was getting worse, but she didn't even have enough money to sell medicine.

The children in the family can't take out the money from the private school now. They can only let the children stay at home and send them to them when they have more money in the future.

In addition, the wife of the family also complained a lot. As a master ship builder, she only got half a month's salary, which was really a bit of a shame.

When his wife married him, Zheng Yue also vowed to let her live a good life, but now this commitment is obviously not realized.

In today's shipyards, there are still countless jobs to do, but there are certain working hours. If there are not enough working hours, even the half gold monthly money will not be available.

However, he can only do odd jobs after work to make up for the expenses of the family.

At the beginning, it was not that no other shipyard took a fancy to him. Even in the county town, he was invited to pay him two gold a month, but he refused because his mother was ill.

"Foreman Zheng, here is a letter from the county magistrate to you."

When Zheng Yue was in a daze, a man dressed as a boy came over and handed him a letter.

"OK, I see." After receiving the letter, Zheng Yue nodded and said with a smile.

He and county Cheng still have some friendship. When his mother was just sick, he needed hardware to pay for the medicine, but there was not so much money in the family.

Then the county magistrate came forward and took out a month's money from his own, which solved the matter.

The county magistrate himself is very popular in the whole city of Anhui. On the one hand, he is a local, and on the other hand, he is a man of good will.

More than ten days ago, he invited himself to his house for two small cups of wine. He still remembered the name of the wine. That cup was a gold, but it tasted like jade dew.

Zheng Yue also opened the letter and slowly read it. He knew the basic words and was a cultural man. Otherwise, he would not be a master of shipbuilding.

The more he read, the more happy he was, and his heart was completely shaken.

There is no need to cheat a craftsman who doesn't have anything, so it should be true.

A month has ten gold monthly money, and close to home, this is simply can't dream of things.

At the end of the letter, the county magistrate also jokingly said that after arriving at the shuobai village, he had enough wine.

This wine is the kind of "thousand army drunk" that he had drunk before. With such a good thing, he was not willing to.

As for the present position, it's better not to do it, or my good craftsmanship will be completely wasted, and I will be cowardly by the petty officials in the county government.

However, the letter also said that he could take the other shipbuilders of the shipyard with him, but not all of them at one time. In that case, the county magistrate would surely find out.

After making up his mind, Zheng Yue immediately took his tools home.

At first, his wife complained about why he came back so early. Later, she didn't believe Zheng Yue's words.

You are a clay legged man who has been dealing with wood all his life. How can you get ten gold a month? Not even those officials.

This is the last word his wife said before he left home, but on the other side, his old mother was very supportive and hoped to go out and have a look, and it was not too far away from home.

Now it's still noon, and Zheng Yue is looking for the shuobai village according to the directions on the letter. However, he has never heard of this village before, and he is beginning to have some doubts in his heart.

At the foot of Zhushan mountain that day was not a wild and uncultivated land, and there were many mountain bandits. How could there be such a good place?

This is the truest word in Zheng Yue's heart. The more he goes inside, the more doubts he has in his heart. There is no village at all.

However, knowing that in front of a valley, he stopped his own steps. Looking at the valley where dozens of soldiers were stationed, his steps were all trembling.

These soldiers did not seem to be a problem. Their upper bodies were straight and their whole bodies were full of a real soldier's temperament, which was quite different from those soldiers who could stand askew in the county town.

Finally, he summoned up his courage and walked towards the soldiers, who were all looking at Zheng Yue seriously, very alert.

Until Zheng Yue took out the letter, the faces of the soldiers really became beautiful and began to chat with Zheng Yue.

Slowly, Zheng Yue relaxed a lot, and when he learned that many of these soldiers were from Wancheng County, he was finally relieved.The more we chat with those soldiers, the better their attitude towards Zheng Yue is.

The more the master Zheng looked at them, the more he admired them.

After their introduction, Zheng Yue knew that the status of craftsmen in this village was very high, even similar to those of scholars, and the wages were frighteningly high.

Not only that, but also all kinds of welfare in the village made Zheng Yue feel that he had come to heaven. The children didn't want money to go to private school, but also gave them back to their parents? Do you have special care for craftsmen? Can old people and orphans get proper care?

This pile, one by one, makes him feel that he has come to another world, which is totally unprecedented.

When the soldier who went in and passed the message came out, Zheng Yue was able to enter.

Just entering the valley, I saw the clean streets, orderly houses, and the villagers with smiles on their faces. Zheng Yue also eliminated all the doubts before.

Even if you don't give him monthly money, he wants to come here!

The head of shuobai village also came to receive him in person, and his attitude towards him was very good. He was not arrogant at all, which made him a small craftsman very useful.

Even after knowing that Qin Shuo wanted to build a warship, he still did not refuse, but agreed happily.

Now the magistrate of Wancheng county is very unpopular. Basically, everyone is very enthusiastic about this kind of thing which is close to rebellion.

When Qin Shuo learned about his family's situation, he also withdrew two months' monthly money in advance. He had 20 gold coins, so he asked him to look for him after finishing everything in the family.

……

"How about it? I say that's a liar? " His wife looked at Zheng Yue with a sarcastic tone and said.

"Yes, it's a liar." Zheng Yue looked at her at will, indifferent to say.

"According to me, you should stay at that shipyard and be safe all your life. It's our destiny." His wife saw Zheng Yue's appearance and thought he was hurt by his words, so she comforted him.

Bang Dang.

Zheng Yue threw the bag he had brought back to the ground. After a loud noise, the bag was scattered and all the Yellow coins were exposed.

"This." His wife looked at Zheng Yue, her face also showed an incredible expression.
