Chapter 77: The sperm-making female partner chooses to farm (26)
Chapter 77: A female mate chooses to farm (26)
Carpenter Cen stopped stammering.
The princess said, Ive never done this before, but I can give it a try.
"Okay, here are the drawings. If you need anything, just go to the housekeeper. By the way, I heard you say last time that your two sons also learned carpentry? Do you want to bring them over to help you? It doesn't matter if they are not good at carving. I need it. Things are mainly practical, and generally there is no need for engraving.
Xiaoyu's hands and feet are Mali, but after all, they have not learned carpenter. They can still follow them with a simple one.
Teaching disciples is not something that can be accomplished overnight. She was already in a hurry, and she didn't want to waste her time on teaching carpentry.
If possible, she would even like to form a carpentry team to assist her mechanical invention.
But the Nanman people were too poor before and it was not easy to make ends meet, so few people learned crafts.
Carpenter Cen was hired from Furong County by the palace steward because he was expected to be an expert in carving.
After the mansion was completed, the craftsmen sent by the palace returned to the capital one after another. Thinking that the mansion needed a knowledgeable person to do daily maintenance, the housekeeper informed the prince and kept the old carpenter.
Carpenter Cen was quite happy with the high wages. Anyway, he was in his hometown in Furong County. He went to the county to do odd jobs during the slack season and didn't have much time at home.
Although I will miss home if I live in Nanman, the advantage is that the salary is high. I can take care of food, food, and housing, and I still have 500 coins per month. If I save for a year, it will be enough to buy a small income for the family.
Since the princess came, I have been rewarded for doing things for her. I even married my grandson a daughter-in-law a while ago. Not only him, but also the whole family is very satisfied.
Unexpectedly, the princess actually proposed to let his two sons come over at this moment. This was to stir up the rhythm of his family!
I would like to thank the princess for the promotion!
Carpenter Cen was so moved that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Xu Yin:
This hat is too big, bro!
She just wants to recruit a few more professionals to work for herself.
Yan Kejin poured her a cup of tea and suggested slowly:
From what Carpenter Cen said, there were only three people left who met the requirements.
So Carpenter Cen went to neighboring villages and towns to spread the word, but most people had the same idea: Nanman was so poor, what good life could there be? No money was earned, but people were poisoned by the miasma and became short-lived. Damn it, its not worth it.
Therefore, we only recruited seven people in three days, and all of them were too poor to take the blame. As long as there is some hope, who is willing to come to Nanman to work?
In this way, Carpenter Cen took nine people, including his two sons, back to Baigui County.
He felt vaguely in his heart that those people who are unwilling to come to Nanman today will definitely regret it in the future.
In fact, there was no need to wait for the next day. The group of people who followed him were so surprised that their eyes widened as soon as they arrived at Baigui County:
Why is the land here so flat? There is no dust at all, its so clean!
This is the city of Baigui County? Its so different from what I imagined!
We are going to work here from now on? There are only a few of us living in such a big yard? And my mother-in-law cooks for us? Am I dreaming? This treatment is too good..."
Master Cen, what are we going to do in the future? Just take over carpentry work? Why is there no shopkeeper? asked a carpenter.
Carpenter Cen shook his head: "Our workshop will not accept outside work for the time being, and will only work for the palace. There is a lot of wood work in the palace, and even though we have a lot of people, we may have to do the work in the palace alone for half a year."
Before recruiting people, Carpenter Cen informed them of their remuneration: 500 cash per month, including food and accommodation.
This is much higher than the going price in Furong County.
He followed the housekeeper to the palace because he wanted to earn more money. Not wanting to be favored by the princess, he completed the waterwheel and candy molds, and won several silver rewards one after another.
But he didnt tell his co-workers about the silver reward. He would be happy if it came later, but what if it was gone? Wouldnt telling them in advance make their happiness in vain?
The other people were happy with the five hundred cents per month including food and accommodation, not to mention that the food provided by the palace was much better than what they had eaten at home.
Not only do you have three meals a day, there is also a meat dish at noon, sometimes it is roasted pork belly, sometimes it is fried crispy pork, sometimes it is fish with distiller's grains.
The cook also cooked herbal tea for them every day and a pot of mung bean soup every five days on the order of the princess to relieve the heat and relieve diseases. All in all, it was much better than they imagined.
The Southern Barbarians are not as poor as they think at all!
No wonder Master Cen built a new house and his grandchildren got wives within a year of his arrival. Can they do the same?
In a few days, this group of people was so determined that they expressed their willingness to work for the palace until the end of time.
