After Zhou Congguang moved into Beicheng Sijinyuan and became neighbors with Lu Mingzhi, he was like a mouse falling into a rice vat, so happy that he almost squeaked twice.

On the first day, he tentatively asked Manager Ye to buy him a few materials, one of which was fine iron that required very high forging techniques. He was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to get it.

Manager Ye is the exclusive manager assigned to him. Like Manager Yao next door to Lu Mingzhi, he is responsible for solving all his needs.

In about a day or so, the materials he requested were delivered, and he even tried the pieces of fine iron. The fine iron was forged very well and fully met his requirements.

If blacksmith Xiao Yang knew what he said, he would definitely murmur. He stayed up half the night to forge fine iron, which is certainly good.

Some time ago, he and his father gave a man and a woman a contraption called a Quyuli, and it caught their attention and they took note of it.

Some time ago, people from the government paid a special visit to their blacksmith shop and persuaded them to open a shop in Houcheng.

Blacksmith Xiao Yang didn't want to go. Their shop in Xiangping had been open for many years and it was very good. There was no need to move. Besides, he was free in Xiangping. Who knows if he would be assigned a job by the government if he went to Houcheng?

Pile of work?

But his father, Blacksmith Yang, disagreed. After hearing the terms offered by the other party, he thought it was pretty good and the harvest would be guaranteed despite droughts and floods, so he decided to go north to Houcheng.

As soon as his father decided to move, the other party immediately paid for it and gave them a certain amount of compensation for moving.

Therefore, they moved from Xiangping to Houcheng. In Houcheng, their blacksmith shop was three or four times larger than before. In addition to taking on the work themselves, the government would also arrange some work for them.

His father asked him to work hard, and not only did he work hard, he worked all night. When he arrived in Houcheng, he made more money, but he was also much tired.

Let's talk about Zhou Congguang's side. After the first batch of materials was used up, the second time he asked for twice as much material as the first time. Also the next day, the materials were delivered. He looked at the materials piled in the empty big hall.

The materials in the house were put into the experiment with satisfaction.

When he asked for materials later, he completely let go. Whatever he wanted, he just asked for the quantity and no longer searched for it.

His wife is right, the Lu family are kind people, especially Lu Er, Lu Songli.

And another good thing here is that if he can't find the finished product of what he wants, he will ask him if he can make it himself and what materials are needed, and they will provide them.

Zhan Fuzi and Wei Wenqian saw all this, but they were not in a hurry and first visited Houcheng and the surrounding scenic spots.

On this day, Zhan Ruoshui and Wei Wenqian took some food and went to Xiangping. When they arrived in Xiangping, they bought some daily necessities and went to Xiangping Juntun to visit someone.

Gu Zhang's first wife was under the control of Mo Lianfeng. After Mo Lianfeng was promoted, he promoted his subordinate Lin Chong to take his original position.

Therefore, Gu Zhang is now in charge of Linzhong.

Lin Zhong accepted the request from Zhan Ruoshui and his disciples after their arrival without much difficulty, and he accepted the gift they gave him.

He, Lin Zhong, had seen with his own eyes how Mo Lianfeng, his highest peak, had risen so high. He couldn't do anything else but just follow the gourd and draw the scoop. Anyway, just follow the example. For those who were exiled to the military camp,

People, don't be mean, and don't be too harsh. Otherwise, you may inadvertently offend someone you shouldn't have offended, and when they come back to life, they will be finished.

As a result, Zhan Ruoshui and Wei Wenqian successfully met Gu Zhang.

Gu Zhang was very happy to see Zhan Ruoshui, "Why did you come to Liaodong County?"

Master Zhan said solemnly, "My family invited me warmly, but I couldn't do it. Besides, I haven't seen my young disciple for a long time, so I came."

Wei Wenqian snickered on the side, the master was obviously moved by Junior Brother Lu's second sister's promise to undertake the return trip to Cheng Yi.

Gu Zhang asked casually, "Is your disciple still Sheng Peiguang? Is he also in Liaodong County?"

Zhan Ruoshui shook his head, "Sheng Peiguang is no longer the youngest disciple. The youngest disciple now is Lu Mingzhi. I took him in later. He and his family are now in Houcheng."

Lu? Family, Houcheng, these words appeared together, Gu Zhang couldn't help but paused, "Is this young disciple of yours the son of the new county governor, Mr. Lu?"

"yes."

Gu Zhang was excited. He didn't expect that all the people he walked around turned out to be people he knew.

He immediately said, "Junior brother Zhan, come see me again before you leave Liaodong County."

"OK."

Master Zhan Ruoshui and his apprentice did not stay long. After talking and giving the things they brought to Gu Zhang, they left the Xiangping military camp.

After meeting his old friend, Zhan Ruoshui felt a little depressed. His senior brother also had a difficult life and he didn't know when he would be able to come out. All this was because the thing he had studied before was too dangerous.

The master and apprentice had just returned from the outer city when they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Jiang Yizhou. He was at the tea shop and quickly called to the two of them and invited them in to drink tea. They happened to feel thirsty, so they sat down to have a rest and drink tea.

, and there is no rush to go back to the house.

“The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has posted a list!”

As a shout rang out, the crowd rushed towards the headquarters of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

The headquarters of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is actually not far from the governor's mansion, and not far from the tea shop where Zhan Ruoshui's master and apprentice currently rest for tea.

The illiterate people quickly asked the smart-looking young man under the list, "Brother, what is written on the red list?"

The young man was the person arranged by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce to explain to the people. He cleared his throat and said, "There are two recruitments written on the red list. The first one is for folk craftsmen. Those who have been verified and have excellent skills will be hired once they are hired."

, you can enjoy a salary ranging from ten taels to three hundred taels of silver per year. In addition, you will also receive thirty kilograms of rice, flour, food, and some oil and sugar every month."

After hearing this, many people exclaimed, "Is this true?" The treatment from above was so good.

"What is a folk craftsman?"

"Folk craftsmen are ordinary people who have exquisite skills, such as potters, blacksmiths, weavers, carpenters, bricklayers, etc." The person who explained saw that some people still didn't understand, so he simply explained more clearly, "For example, those who can farm.

An experienced farmer, or one who is particularly good at taking care of certain crops will also do."

"Another example is that I am very good at making clothes. The stitches on the clothes I make are very fine. The ingenuity applied to the clothes often makes people's eyes brighten."

When he explained it, everyone who heard it understood it.

Someone asked, "My father is very good at taking care of the bean sprouts. When harvested from one acre of bean sprouts planted by his hands, he can harvest two or three bushels more than others. Is this okay?"

"It should be possible. Let him try and sign up. Anyway, there is no money to sign up, and there is no penalty for failing."

"Can you be good at building houses?"

"Can."

"Is this okay? Is it okay to be good at knitting?"

“Can I be good at raising fish?”

"You can sign up, come and give it a try."

Jiang Yizhou murmured, "One thousand gold buys horse bones."

Lu Songli has always believed that experts are among the people, and there is no shortage of wise people among the people. She wants to collect and summarize these experiences and wisdom, which can be used in the planting and breeding industry in the coming year to increase their income and production.

"Folks, there is still a second recruitment. The second recruitment is to recruit a large number of laborers. We are going to build a new county governor's house in Houcheng. The wages of large and small laborers are twelve cents a day, including three meals.

, Guan Guan. The age requirement is between sixteen and thirty-six years old."

When the people heard this, they started talking immediately.

"Will I really be paid?"

The wages are not much, twelve cash a day, and you can earn twenty cash a day by carrying big bags at the dock. But the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce promises to provide three meals a day and take care of yourself. This is very attractive.

They all eat two meals, one at noon. Only city dwellers or wealthy people can eat three meals a day.

"Where can laborers sign up? I want to sign up!"

"I'll go back and call my son!"
Chapter completed!
