Chapter 279 Zhu Ying

The next day, Wang Ge felt pain while walking. He inhaled and inhaled. What did it mean? It meant that it was okay. Don't scare the horse, or he will be kicked.

The process of making a new plow is the same as it was in the Chuyi County Department. Carpenter Zhang, Carpenter Lan, and Carpenter Li can all understand the mold drawings, and Wang Ge only needs to observe from the side.

Each of the three craftsmen has a craftsman boy, all of whom are about seven years old, which is very strange. Are all the craftsmen in Liaodong County so young? Or did they just happen to get together?

Zhang Jianshi explained to Wang Ge: "Liaodong County, Xuantu County, and Lelang County, the first county of these three places is the easiest to test the craftsman boy, and there are many places. Let's call the craftsman boy, as long as it does not exceed ten

At the age of 10, I know how to knit straw sandals and twist straw ropes, which the examiner has given me. The molds used in the craftsmanship assessment are not difficult."

Wang Ge was dumbfounded. According to this statement, it is too... unfair to other counties!

"Alas, there is no way." Master Zhang sighed: "Pingzhou has been unstable all year round. Although there are many people living in Xiangping and a lot of farmland, in some counties, large areas are deserted and uninhabited at all. Why?

People from Yilou who are thousands of miles away are coming to Liaodong? Without some favorable political decrees, can the barbarians give up hunting and living by looting? These people came to Liaodong on foot, and they could walk for several years. It was not easy!

"

It's not easy. I guess there is no good way to trek from Yilou. It's just people who follow the path of their predecessors and just hold on with their lives. "Master Zhang, are you not a junior craftsman?" You know a lot.

"The three of us are all master craftsmen."

Oh my god! Wang Ge quickly bowed to the three of them and repeatedly said, "I'm sorry."

Master Zhang waved his hand nonchalantly and continued: "The tribes that migrated the most were the tribes around Buxian Mountain. After coming to Pingzhou, those children under the age of Tsing did not have to serve, but they were not allocated farmland.

There is a lot of food to eat at home! Help your family farm the land. Since you don’t have much energy, why not let them learn craftsman skills and be hired by craftsmen. If they have work to do, their hearts will be stable."

Wang Ge guessed that Buxian Mountain should be Changbai Mountain. She understood that the craftsmen who came to Bian County to work on their resumes could not gain anything for nothing. It was really a virtuous circle. The government had decomposed part of the pressure on supporting poor households to the craftsmen. She asked: "

Should I just give money to the hired craftsmen, or just grains?"

However, the young craftsmen’s apprentices do have a big appetite. Wang Ge did some calculations and found that the price of corn in Xiangping and Bingtu is probably the same. Four yuan can buy a liter. She has a big appetite, so she adds some salted beans to every meal and occasionally eats it.

If you order vegetables, it costs about fifteen dollars a day on average.

The child was so happy that he shouted back: "Master Craftsman, I am not afraid of the sun."

We ate lunch and dinner in this courtyard. The three young craftsmen went together to get the soup cakes. They ran back and forth, always with smiles on their faces. This easy-to-satisfy mood is really like Apeng, Hutou and

Aai.

"My surname is Zhu, and my name is Zhu Ying." If she didn't reply, Zhu Ying felt that her ears would be pierced by the verbosity.

So no matter how you calculate it, she currently cannot afford to hire a craftsman.

Master Zhang touched the top of Xiao Lang's hair and said, "It's okay. Go over there and rest in the shade. I'll ask you to come back."

As Wang Ge guessed, the girl entered the hospital. When Wang Ge wanted to help, the girl smiled uncomfortably and immediately returned to her normal expression. "Mr. Wang, get out of the way." After pouring the water, she hung up the bucket again.

He said: "The county office has sent me to protect you. Don't worry, craftsman, I will not interfere with your work. I will follow you when you go out and I will also help you take care of your horses."

"Then... can I help my sister take care of the horses? I can take care of them, really. Then my sister will teach me martial arts, okay?"

Kindergarten? It seems to be the same as the children's welfare home in her previous life.

This girl is so beautiful, whether she is smiling or not, it is pleasing to the eye. "Are you Master Wang?" The other person's voice is as cold as the water in the bucket.

Wang Ge immediately widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Sister, you know martial arts, right?"

"yes."

"I'm going with my sister. Has my sister had dinner? I carry water by myself at home, so I'd better let me pick it up... Sister, you are so good-looking, hehe, I'm stunned..."

Sister, my surname is Wang. Oh, I'm so stupid. Sister already knows my surname is Wang... What's my name... My sister and I really hit it off. As the old saying goes, it's like we've seen each other in a lifetime..."

The girl was obviously not used to this kind of shameless familiarity. She said softly "Ah" and then "Hmm".

At this point, Master Zhang called to his young craftsman to sweep up the waste. Xiao Lang actually stood beside him and ran a few steps away to get a broom and dustpan, and then ran over again.

His face, like the back of his hands, was still purple from frostbite in summer, and there wasn't much mucus in his nose, but he kept sniffing, which was obviously a habit.

Master Zhang said helplessly: "Forget it, let's not avoid him. Master Wang wanted to hire a craftsman apprentice, so he went to the kindergarten in Duting to choose one. There were many children who passed the exam as craftsmen there, and there were also craftsmen who were all honest.

He is also diligent, just like this kid. The shortest contract period is half a year. After the contract period is up, you can cancel the contract anywhere in Pingzhou."

"Just give them three meals a day, and at worst, let them eat seventy percent full. These are all written in the deed. You just came to Xiangping, don't buy tenants on the street, and don't listen to those who sell themselves.

They are shouting nonsense, they are crying out for pity, and they ask for less, but it is more troublesome to make a contract with them, and if the craftsmen they buy are cunning and lazy, they will not be able to get angry."

That's thirty dollars for two people, don't forget Bai Rong's fodder.

The corn in Bian County is cheaper than in other counties. One disadvantage is that there is no old grain in the grain stores, and all the grain sold is new grain. It would be great if I could find a place that sells old grain. I should be able to save one to two dollars every day.

Before it gets dark, the first curved shaft plow has been built. Wang Ge wanted to go back to see Bai Rong first, and then go out for a walk around the county office. Unexpectedly, he saw an extra brown horse as soon as he entered the hospital, and there was movement behind him.

, she looked back and saw a tall girl walking from the end of the alley, carrying water. She smiled at her, but unfortunately the smile disappeared as soon as it spread.

Wang Ge was very suspicious. It couldn't be such a coincidence. Could it be that he met the prototype of Zhu Yingtai in the legend of Liang Zhu?

The other party was very quiet and did not like to talk. Wang Ge asked her name and after testing Zhu Ying's character, she no longer wanted to be boring. When the other party spread the mat and prepared to fall asleep, she measured the size with steps in the courtyard and continued to practice basic skills. Everything was as good as Huan

The county magistrate predicted that after revealing the manufacturing method of Quyuanli, the government department indeed sent soldiers to protect her safety.

"Let's talk after we finish fetching water."

Wang Ge couldn't help but laugh too.

Zhu Ying has two scars on his neck. He must have experienced the bloody storms of the battlefield. With the other party around, Wang Ge finally felt relieved and was not afraid of meeting Sima Tao if his luck ran out. It was just a mixed blessing. What worried him was that Zhu Ying probably had no money.

When she discovered the other party's neck injury, she also discovered that Zhu Ying's collar was torn.

Alas, she can temporarily stop hiring the craftsman, but she cannot drive Zhu Ying away. It is urgent to support her family. Besides, she wants to write a letter home and mail it back. The distance is so far, and the cost will definitely be high.

Inside the house, Zhu Ying was very tired, both physically and mentally. She had just returned from Wandu. She thought she would wait for the cavalry to recruit enough troops before leading the team back as usual. Unexpectedly, the officer took care of her and let her recover from her injuries.

She was given such a ridiculous task to protect the carpenter Wang Ge.

At such a critical period, she had already heard the rumors about the Northern Expedition, so she was asked to recuperate from her injuries at this time. What kind of injuries could she recuperate from? When she was injured more seriously than this time, she insisted on staying on the garrison front. Who did she offend?

Or was she accidentally squeezed into power? Did she offend the township barracks, the county barracks or the Dongyifu barracks?

Sincere thanks to Yellow River Oujiang Taishan Yandang and Zi Kexin for their reward.
