Chapter 450 Recruitment
At this moment, there were many old-fashioned masters in front of the Wen family, who were stained with wood chips and dust, holding some tools, or literati dressed in a long robe, chatting and laughing and entering the door together. For a moment, it was unexpectedly lively and crowded with people.
This scene made Wen Chong, the young master of the Wen family, feel a little puzzled. After asking, he found out that it was his father who specially sent someone to invite him. Because of the famine, after he proposed to use food as a reward, there were endless people applying for the recruitment, and even rushing to the top.
Wen Jia agreed to hire these craftsmen after a simple assessment. Many people with inexperienced skills can also be complacent in this troubled waters, which seems a bit strange.
In just a moment, he had heard several people talking about it, and it was the matter.
What he said is nothing more than why the Wen family wanted to attract so many craftsmen with great fanfare.
"Carved statue of god... or a fairy's statue, what is the Wen family going to do?"
"What do you care about them! We can just fill our stomachs! In this world, besides the Wen family, no one else has the spare money to invite us to do our job..."
He looked back at the two slightly worn-out carpenters walking by and whispered to each other, his brows frowned even deeper.
After watching it, Wen Chong went straight to find his father who was discussing with an old craftsman in the study, and asked in confusion: "Dad, why are you asking so many people to come to our Wen family?"
"What are you doing? Of course, it's to promote the fairy name of Yuyuan Fairy!" Wen Gonghu looked at him with a strange look, and said in a deep voice, "Chong'er, you are not a child now. Everything should be more steady, don't always make a fuss like this."
"But... Dad, do you need so many people? And some people have bad skills and can't carve the charm of the fairy at all." Wen Chong reminded in a low voice.
"Brother, this is the solution after my father thought about it carefully just now."
Just at this moment, the little girl Wen Bingyan behind her slowly walked in with a few thick account books and explained softly.
"Yes, this time it is important, so we naturally have to spend more time." Wen Gonghu nodded, "For example, those charlatans who cheat outside, although the immortals they believe in are fake, they may be able to learn from those methods."
"Dad, are you talking about learning those obscene things?" Wen Chong was stunned, a little unbelievable.
"If it is useful, you can naturally learn it. As long as these methods are used on the right path, you will have a clear conscience." Wen Gonghu said seriously, and then looked at the old craftsman in front of him, "Master Liu, do you think the things I just told you are feasible?"
The master replied in a little panic: "Master, don't worry, this wooden work is the food work for us. Since you promised to pay for the food, we will not disappoint you! But if you want to carve it exactly the same, it will probably take some effort..."
As the famine is severe recently, these carpenters have become increasingly difficult to do business. They live a life of fearlessness without any meals, but they are very sad. Now, if someone is willing to buy food and pay for it, they are naturally happy to carve some statues of gods!
Anyway, they often do it, and wood carvings like immortals and gods are even more proficient. Although the sculpture by Wen's family seems quite unique, if they just imitate a few fractals of shapes, they can still do it with their techniques.
But this time...
Wen Gonghu shook his head slightly and said, "This is okay. These wood carvings can be made a little simpler. As long as the rough shape remains unchanged, people can recognize that they are the fairy of Yuyuan at a glance. What is important is that they can be provided in large quantities..."
The most important thing now is how to quickly spread the name of Fairy Yuyuan. Only a large number of statues can create a deep impression on people.
Master Liu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If it were just that, maybe I could cooperate with those other carpenters to get faster..."
"Then it's a blessing for Master Liu..." Wen Gonghu bowed.
"You are kind to you, Master!"
After sending the master out, Wen Chong couldn't help asking: "Dad, are these wood carvings all given out?"
Wen Gonghu nodded: "You guessed it well, not just to send it out, I have another consideration."
"Although our Wen family can indeed distribute food for free, there are several other conditions. First, everyone can only receive it once a day. After all, at present, this batch of food is still very limited and cannot be supplied in unlimited amounts. Second, everyone who comes to collect the food must hold these wood carvings or portraits of Fairy Yuyuan, and they must also thank Fairy Yuyuan."
"Only in this way can we truly keep the immortal name of Fairy Yuyuan in their hearts and let them understand that these foods were given to them by the immortals."
"In addition, it's a story about immortals."
"Story?" Wen Chong was even more confused.
"Yes, when those scammers outside use the guise of immortals and gods, they will give the immortal a name, either subdue demons and demons or save all living beings, which will also attract the favor of the people. Although we are not clear about the experience of this fairy Yuyuan, it does not prevent us from tailoring a few "story" for her, so it is easier to attract others."
Wen Gonghu's appearance, who was analyzing in such an orderly manner, fell into Wen Chong's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned. Although he felt a little strange, he unexpectedly felt it made sense: "Dad, you are so awesome!"
"This second point was not something that was thought of by my father." Wen Gonghu shook his head and said, "It was Bingyan who brought it back."
Wen Bingyan smiled slightly and said, "To be precise, it was the idea proposed by the king. It seems that the king has already seen all the methods of our mortals very clearly."
"So dad, you also invited those literati scholars to come?" Wen Chong suddenly realized.
"That's right, if you talk about writing and writing, these literati who rely on pens are the best at it." Wen Gonghu nodded and said, "Chong'er, there is no need for you to be busy in the mansion for the time being. You can go to the shop to help organize it first, so as not to be in a hurry again by waiting for tomorrow."
"Okay!" Wen Chong nodded excitedly, turned around and walked out of the door impatiently. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
