Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 199

After the fireplace was made, everyone deeply felt the usefulness of this thing, so they simply asked people to get a few in the new house in the capital.

Xie Xiuwen made one in his study, because there is a chimney, so there is no need to worry about the problem of smoke, and if you used a charcoal basin before, you have to pay attention to the windows not being closed tightly, after all, some air-conditioning needs to be brought in.

This is just right now. Add a few pieces of firewood that are about the thickness of his arm, and you don’t need to keep looking at them. Moreover, the stove outside is designed ingeniously, and the firewood is chopped a little shorter, so you don’t have to worry about another fire. .

Since having this fireplace, Xie Xiuwen likes to sit in front of the fireplace to read and drink tea in his free time.

It's good to have this in the house, he is the only master in the house now, and he just rests in the study room at ordinary times, the room is warm and not too dry, anyway, it is better than sleeping on the kang.

In the house they bought later, only the inner courtyard had earth dragons, and Liu Ruolan and his precious daughter were away, so he didn't bother to live in the backyard.

On the contrary, a colleague came over and fell in love with his fireplace. The first thing he wanted was Wang Jin. Xie Xiuwen had no choice but to say that his own house hadn’t been finished yet, and he would get it for him after it was done, but he would have to pay for it. , because some sharecroppers work together with them, and they can't do it for nothing without making money.

Wang Jin is naturally talkative. The house he bought is in the outer city, and there are no earthworms in the inner and outer courtyards. Now seeing that the fireplace is good and beautiful, and it will not be too dry and panic when sleeping, he settled on four at a time.

Xie Xiuwen called the leader Qi Zhong over, and after giving some instructions, they naturally let them pick up the work. Of course, the money needs to be handed over. After all, they didn't come up with this thing. The real master is the man who lives in the villa. Missy.

Ten taels of silver for a fireplace, and Xie Xiuwen's colleagues lined up to make reservations. Later, Zhu Weng dispatched more than a dozen men from the villa to work together. Finally, before the heavy snow came, the orders of these dignitaries were fulfilled. I'm done.

He just repaired a fireplace and received more than six hundred taels of silver, but Liu Ruolan was quite shocked.

"Aniang, although I came up with this idea, they are the ones who actually do the work, and it's these long-term laborers who actually worked it out. Why don't you share the money with them?"

Zhu Weng, who was waiting for the instructions, felt that something was wrong: "It's a good thing for Miss to be kind, but we can't let them take advantage of it all. We have to let them know that the master is good, and we have to let them know that this is a good thing." It is thanks to the master that this kind of fortune can come about, but we can’t give it all to them.”

Liu Ruolan asked Zhu Weng to hand over the list, counting 26 people who had participated in this matter, even Zhu Xiaoyun, Zhu Weng's grandson, contributed.

"How about this, according to the number of people on this list, one person will be rewarded with five taels of silver first, and the rest will be given extra according to the number of days they work."

That is to say, as long as they obeyed the boss's orders, no matter how many days they worked, they would be rewarded with five taels of silver first, which made the villagers at the foot of the mountain very happy.

How much meat does five taels of silver have to buy!

With these five taels of silver, there is no need to worry about the New Year.

Zhu Weng obeyed his orders, first arranged for the reward of five taels of silver, and informed them to come to collect the reward later.

Then Liu Ruolan asked Qi Zhong to make a list of how many days each person had done and handed it in.

Qi Zhong was one of the long-term workers who came back from Gaoyang County, and now works beside Xie Xiuwen, mainly running errands and taking care of some chores in the house.

Qi Zhong is old, has a wife and son, and knows some interpersonal matters better than Dou Zi. Xie Xiuwen transferred him to his side for a few months, but he felt that the more he used it, the easier it was.

One day's work is calculated at 20 copper coins, and in the end, when they come out, they have to pay these tenant farmers nearly [-] taels of silver.

This amount of money is not much, after all, it is more than six hundred taels in total.

Liu Ruolan felt embarrassed.

According to Guaibao, she wanted to let the people below share the big head, but now she settled according to the high wages, plus the silver reward, and now she only sent out more than 100 taels.

"Aniang, give some money to Zhu Weng, and ask him to arrange a banquet at the foot of the mountain for a day, and let those who work along with them and their families come over to eat the banquet. Such a lively scene seems generous to us."

Liu Ruolan thinks it's okay, in this way, even the meat, vegetables, and white rice noodles cost a lot of money.

However, for the common people in the countryside, money is affordable, and the meat in their mouths is even more affordable.

Qi Zhong was mainly responsible for the repair of the fireplace.

Liu Ruolan felt that this person was useful, so she generously rewarded him with an extra ten taels of silver, which would also elevate his reputation and give him a sense of dignity.

The members of Qi Zhong's family were really happy, they just felt that they never thought in their life that they could get more than a dozen taels of silver just for doing an errand, so their family would not have to worry about life now.

Don’t underestimate this fireplace. Many craftsmen have been pondering over the repaired fireplace for a long time, and then go home to make it themselves, but they can’t get it right. Either the chimney doesn’t go up, or the heating effect can’t be achieved, or else It's just that the firewood is easy to burn outside, which is too dangerous.

In this way, after people tried a few times, they stopped doing it, so as not to trouble these blue bricks again.

Whoever repairs the fireplace, the raw materials are all provided by the owner, and Qi Zhong is only responsible for leading them to work. In this way, the ten taels of silver for this fireplace is tantamount to a pure profit.

Of course, not all cash registers.

Xie Xiuwen built a few fireplaces for Mr. Wang Qinshan's mansion and Mr. Zheng Ge's mansion. Naturally, he didn't take any money, and only said it was his filial piety as a junior.

If he did it as a subject, the two adults should naturally not do it, but he took out the identity of Xu Yuanqing, and he was just their junior, so it was logical.

And there is not much money, so if you don't accept it, you won't accept it.

Wang Yanqing spent a month on the mountain with the injury. After seeing it, the doctor said that the child is growing fast, the splint can be removed, and the bones have grown straight, but he still cannot run down the ground, but he can walk slowly with a cane. But it is best not to use force on the injured leg, and it is best not to touch the ground.

Wang Yanqing could move around now, and he could also take a carriage, but he didn't want to leave.

How nice it is to live here!

In addition to a few friends of similar age, there is also a beautiful and cute little boy who can talk to him and bring him delicious food.

The most important thing is that this place is simple and peaceful, not like being in a mansion, so you have to be more careful, who let him bear the name of an eldest grandson.

Thinking of the thief who dared to assassinate him this time, the boy's originally clear eyes became more cruel.

Just because he met the benevolent Xie family, it doesn't mean that those who came to assassinate him will be spared lightly!
