Chapter 50
After the matter was agreed, Master Li had to go back and call someone first.
He has his own workers, so there is no problem of not being able to find workers in Huajiang Town. However, Master Li also talked to Tang Shu when he left. It was the first time that Dilong and the others built it, so Tang Shu might need more advice at that time.
Tang Shu naturally agreed and agreed to another request from Master Li.
Master Li thought the Earth Dragon was good, so he wanted to promote it.
Master Li will have to come to build a house two days, but the workers who dug the river have already started working.
Chu Xun brought back about fifty workers, and the wages he gave were more than twice as much as before.
"I think they just want us to spend money." Tang Shu touched his chin and said, "If we don't have money, we really have to rely on farming to make a living. We have evil thoughts."
A smile flashed in Chu Xun's eyes, "Yes, my mind is vicious."
"By the way, I haven't figured it out yet. Can we continue to spend money on Prince Jing's Mansion or have restrictions?" Tang Shu asked, "Is it a lot of money on Prince Jing's Mansion?"
As the mistress of the Prince Jing’s Mansion, she actually knew nothing about the family background of Prince Jing’s Mansion, which was inappropriate.
It's all Chu Xun's fault.
Chu Xun also felt that she was not aware of Prince Jing's Mansion so much.
"Madam, although the royal family cannot be compared with the richest man, compared to the eldest prince and the others, even if we don't have to do anything about childbirth, it's enough for us to live a few lives without worries."
That means Prince Jing’s Mansion is very rich.
fine.
Tang Shu was relieved.
"But when I left, the emperor only asked me to bring 10,000 taels."
Tang Shu...
"Ten thousand taels?"
"Yeah." Chu Xun said, "Now there are probably only a few dozen taels left."
"No, can we spend money like this?" Tang Shu was shocked. When they first arrived in Baoze Mountain, they basically ate dry food or wild game. They didn't start eating rice until the wooden house was about to get up, and they didn't feel that they didn't spend much money.
"Madam, fish house." Chu Xun reminded.
"Oh, by the way, there is also a fish restaurant." Tang Shu's psychological balance was much more balanced. It also took money to open a fish restaurant and hire a friend. He also spent a lot of money to ask workers to turn over the ground and dig rivers. "But it's too fast." She had never seen a few taels of silver, so the money was almost done.
"Fortunately, we have a fish restaurant, otherwise the workers wouldn't be able to afford it, and they would have to eat the northwest wind." Tang Shu was very scared.
"How can I bear to let my wife eat the northwest wind for her husband?" Chu Xun took her into his arms.
Tang Shu snorted, "Why can't you? This fish restaurant is my idea."
It seems that this is true, "Have you told your wife to your husband?"
"What?"
"Before leaving the capital, I had already bought some industries in Jiangning."
Tang Shu looked at him quietly, "I'll just say you're so ill." Before anyone left the capital, he had already done so many things first, and this person would never suffer any losses.
"Madam, this is a precaution."
He was not stupid. The emperor did not seize the property of Prince Jing’s Mansion, but he only asked him to take away ten thousand taels. How long can ten thousand taels last?
"But we are not short of money now." Tang Shu said with a smile, "Their plan is about to fail."
With these fifty workers and the weather is also very strong, the project progress is also very fast.
In two days, fifty or sixty people dug out more than twenty meters of river channel, and Master Li also brought people and blue bricks over.
The seedlings cultivated by Tang Shu also sprouted and grew green leaves. She took advantage of the time to go to the town again, bought a few pigs and some chickens and ducks to come back for stocking. With people and these livestock, Baoze Mountain is even more vibrant and energetic.
...
"Mr. Chu, Mrs. Chu, don't you know you still need workers?" Master Li came over to ask.
"What?" Chu Xun asked.
"That's right." Master Li said with a smile, "Someone in Yangchuan Town asked the young man to come over to ask, saying that he also wanted to come over to dig the river or do other things."
The wages that I had agreed to be paid every three days, but now those workers who dug the river have already got the money back. Seeing the money, people who didn't want to come before naturally got up.
But they were not easy to ask, and Master Li also came here to build a house. Someone first found Master Li and asked Master Li to help ask.
"The workers naturally need it." Chu Xun said, "How many people in Yangchuan Town are willing to come here to dig rivers?"
"There are about 10 or 20 people." Master Li said after careful consideration, "Maybe there will be more."
If there are more people, it would be better.
Baoze Mountain is also large, and fifty people are not at all responsible. You should know that they just want to dig a river to the foot of Baoze Mountain, but the project has not been completed yet.
The terrain here is also good. Baoze Mountain is clearly located on the territory, but it is far away from the Chihe River. Behind Baoze Mountain is the territory of Qing Kingdom. The place is also desolate and the place is not big, so no one has ever taken care of Qing Kingdom, so the land there will be only when fighting wars.
Then, it was the boundary of Sui Kingdom, with the same climate and the same conditions, which led to the fact that Baoze Mountain almost became a place without any care.
"Since that's the case, I'll ask you to follow Master Li back today. After registering, I'll let them come together tomorrow." Chu Xun said, "I may need some people here to help organize the fields."
Master Li also inquired about it. He heard that Chu Xun had committed something and was punished to farm. He didn't know the specifics, but judging from Chu Xun and Tang Shu, he knew that Chu Xun and Tang Shu should be rich people.
As for what he had done, why he was just punished to farm, he didn't know.
But he knew a little about Chu Xun's reason for going to Yangchuan Town to find workers. Huajiang Town was ordered to not come here to do work.
But they have not been in trouble yet. Perhaps Chu Xun just offended the local snake in Huajiang Town.
"OK."
In the afternoon, after Master Li and the workers who dug the river got off work, Chu San followed them back, but before leaving, a young man found Chu Xun.
"Do you want to live here?" Chu Xun looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise. The young man was about eighteen, but he was thin and looked gentle. When he was supervising during the day, he also noticed that the young man was not as good as his hoe.
I heard that he is a scholar.
Zhang Wenhuo nodded, "I only have my mother in my family. My mother is weak, so I don't feel at ease to let her be alone at home." He said, "So I want to take my mother over to take care of her."
"That's because of this?"
Zhang Wenhuo looked at Chu Xun, and Chu Xun's eyes were calm, but Zhang Wenhuo felt as if he had been seen through.
