Return to the Tang Dynasty to be a villain

Chapter 28 Workshop Recruitment Fair

"That's good," Qin Yi nodded, then looked at Qin Lie with some embarrassment.

"Qin Lie, my father, but this is the land where I opened my workshop."

Qin Lie laughed, then took out a land deed from his arms and handed it to Qin Yi.

"This is the deed to the other courtyard. I'm handing it over to you, young master. No one will bother you with anything you want to do here."

When Qin Zhong saw Qin Lie's actions, he felt something was wrong. After all, this was Qin Huaidao's property.

He handed it over to Qin Yi like this, because he was worried that Qin Lie would have a hard time explaining to Qin Huaidao in the future.

Qin Yi felt a little embarrassed when he heard Qin Zhong's reminder. He looked at the land deed in front of him and really didn't know whether he should accept it.

Although he knew in his heart that this villa was far away from Chang'an and was not worth much money.

But Qin Lie acted so presumptuously that if Qin Huaidao knew about this in the future, he would inevitably feel resentful towards him.

When Qin Lie heard Qin Zhong's concerns, his face suddenly darkened.

He turned around, picked up the crutch placed aside and swept it across Qin Zhong's legs.

"What do you know, little kid?"

The crutch hit Qin Zhong's knee, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Qin Lie then stood up with the help of his crutch, walked shakily to Qin Zhong, raised the crutch in his hand and hit him on the back.

"When I followed the old Duke through thick and thin, you were still a clueless kid."

"Among the three members of the old Duke's family, which one didn't grow up under my watch?"

"It's true that this courtyard is Second Master's property, but the young master is Second Master's eldest son."

"Don't things belonging to the father and grandfather eventually belong to the son?"

"How dare you meddle in this old man's affairs? I think you, little coward, are tired of living, aren't you?"

While Qin Lie was scolding Qin Zhong, he hit him on the back with the cane in his hand.

The crutch hit Qin Zhong's back with a "bang" and "bang" sound. Qin Lie hit him hard, and Qin Yi was a little scared when he saw it.

However, Qin Zhong stood still and allowed Qin Lie to beat him with his cane.

Qin Lie hit Qin Zhong more than ten times and seemed to be tired.

Only then did he turn around and sit on the stool beside the table, panting and sulking.

But at this moment, Qin Zhong still didn't dare to move, and knelt there dejectedly.

Qin Yi finally understood at this time that although Qin Lie was nominally a servant in the Qin Mansion.

However, because he had been with Qin Qiong for a long time, he had a very high prestige in the Qin Mansion.

Not to mention Qin Zhong, the steward of Licheng County Mansion, even Qin Huaidao himself respected him very much.

At this moment, he was more confident about opening a workshop in Caodianzi Village.

Originally, he had some doubts about letting Gao Sheji, whom he had just met and didn't know well, be the manager here.

But now that Qin Lie is here as a stabilizing force, he believes that Gao Sheji will not dare to do anything naughty.

So he stopped being polite with Qin Lie and picked up the land deed that he had just placed on the table, folded it and put it in his arms.

Qin Lie looked at Qin Yi's actions and his anger turned into joy.

"Young Master, please sit down and rest. I will ask the villagers for you to see how many people are willing to come to the workshop to help."

Qin Lie stood up with the help of a cane and walked towards the door. When he passed by Qin Zhong, he stretched out his leg and kicked him.

"What are you still kneeling for? Get up and follow me to do the young master's errand."

Qin Zhong jumped up immediately after hearing this, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he supported Qin Lie and walked out the door.

After watching Qin Lie and Qin Zhong leave, Qin Yi turned around and saw a pair of bright eyes standing by the door.

"Gao Xianzhi, come here!"

Waving at the owner of the eyes, Gao Xianzhi ran into the room and stood in front of Qin Yi.

"Would you like to be my servant from now on?" Qin Yi reached out and touched Gao Xianzhi's head.

Qin Yi felt very happy when he thought of the future God of War of the Tang Dynasty being petted by him like a cat.

Gao Xianzhi blinked his innocent eyes and nodded, and Qin Yi felt even happier.

"Then I'll call you Zhi Ge'er, and you'll call me Da Lang from now on?"

Gao Xianzhi continued to nod, without a trace of dust in his pure eyes.

"Little father-in-law."

Gao Sheji's voice came to his ears. Qin Yi raised his head and saw that the other party did not dare to come in, but just stood outside the door and saluted.

Gao Sheji had originally gone out for a walk, and just as he returned to the yard, he heard what Qin Yi said to Gao Xianzhi, and he was naturally very happy.

You have to know that in this era, being a servant to a gentleman from a noble family is a very promising career.

Not only can she stay by her husband's side and have no worries about food and drink, but she can also study with him.

If this book boy is gifted and has some achievements in studies, he may even have the opportunity to take the imperial examination and become an official.

Even if one's qualifications are slightly lower, when the husband takes charge of the mansion in the future, he can become the housekeeper or manager of the family.

Qin Yi saw Gao Sheji standing at the door with a happy expression on his face, and asked in a kind tone.

"Have you two eaten?"

Gao Sheji quickly saluted in reply.

"I got up early to help Uncle Qin Lie cook and ate some in the kitchen." Qin Yi nodded and waved Gao Sheji to come in.

When he came to me, I told him the plan I had in mind.

Gao Sheji heard Qin Yi say that he wanted to stay here and be the manager of the workshop.

Not only is food and accommodation provided, but there is also a monthly stipend of five strings of cash, which is naturally a pleasant surprise.

But when he thought that Qin Yi would soon return to Chang'an, Gao Xianzhi, as the young master's servant, would naturally have to go with him, and now he would be separated from his son, his eyes were filled with sadness.

"You don't have to worry too much," Qin Yi looked at Gao Sheji's complicated expression, guessed his concerns, and comforted him with a smile.

"From now on, you will be given one day off every ten days. When I return to process your case, I will send someone to bring it back to you."

"You can go to Chang'an when the time comes, or I can have Brother Zhi sent over. You and your son will be able to see each other every ten days or half a month."

Gao Sheji heard this and knew that things had come to this point, so he had no choice but to accept this arrangement.

You must know that although Gao Sheji originally had the idea of ​​joining the army in Anxi.

However, traveling to the Western Regions is not only long and mountainous, but it is also being harassed by foreign nations such as Tubo and Khitan. It is a life-or-death struggle to get there.

Gao Sheji would not have resorted to such a desperate measure if he had not been completely helpless.

But now, they, father and son, are fortunate enough to be with Qin Yi. Not only do they have no worries about food and clothing, but they also receive a considerable amount of monthly allowance.

Although he had to be separated from his son temporarily, Gao Sheji knew that this was the best outcome for him at the moment.

After a while, Qin Lie and Qin Zhong returned to the villa.

Things should be going smoothly, Qin Zhong has a happy smile on his face,
"Da Lang, Uncle Lie and I just arrived in the village and told you that you were going to open a workshop. The villagers knew that you were going to run an errand for the Licheng County government, and they all signed up enthusiastically."

"They are already waiting outside the gate of the other courtyard. Please give us your instructions on what the next steps will be."

Qin Yi was already confident at this moment. He planned to follow the recruitment method of the previous life's companies and let these people come in one by one.

As the chief examiner, Qin Lie was very familiar with the villagers of Caodianzi Village and could serve as his advisor.

Gao Sheji was taking notes on the side, which made it easier for him, as the manager, to quickly get familiar with his future employees.

Qin Zhong was arranged by Qin Yi to maintain order outside the villa. He didn't want people to rush in. Qin Zhong could let people line up and enter the villa for interviews.

It took about an incense stick of time to prepare. Qin Yi asked Gao Sheji and Qin Zhong to set up a table in the middle of the yard. He sat in the middle, and Qin Lie and Gao Sheji sat on his left and right respectively. There was also paper and pen in front of Gao Sheji.

As Qin Zhong called the villagers in one by one, Qin Yi discovered that the people of Caodianzi Village had a much better life than those in other places because of Qin Huaidao's benevolence and generosity.

But they were still ragged, thin, and looked like they had been malnourished for a long time.

Qin Yi knew in his heart that this was the true appearance of the people of this era.

What about the Zhenguan Reign and the Kaiyuan Prosperity? Those were all prosperous times that belonged to the emperor, princes and ministers.

But those people who really work hard still live in poverty and hunger even in years of good weather and good harvests.

Qin Yi's heart became more determined than ever before. He was determined to change this unfair world.

Finally, after three hours of selection, Qin Yi picked out thirty-five young and strong men.

When these people knew that working for the young master not only provided them with three meals a day, but also a monthly salary of two strings of cash.

Those families whose members were selected were worried about the lack of labor for their land and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, he was already smiling and cheering excitedly.

The elders and women in their family even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Yi.

It’s no wonder these people were so excited, as food prices were very low at that time.

One dan of grain costs only about twenty coins, and two coins can buy one hundred dan of grain.

But after working hard in the fields for a year, they only had a dozen or so stones of grain left at home.

By this calculation, these people's monthly income is equivalent to the original family's earnings for several years.

Those who were not selected were originally gloating.

They thought that working for the young master was just like doing corvee labor, which not only would not bring them any income but would also cost them their own food.

When he heard the treatment announced by Qin Yi, he suddenly felt as if he had lost his parents.

Some of these people wanted to beg Qin Yi again, while others were ready to throw a tantrum and make a scene.

But when he thought about the fact that his family still rented land from the Qin Mansion, if he really angered the young master, he might not even have a way to make a living.

So, they could only look at those who were selected, who were now proud and smiling, with hatred, and envy, jealousy and abuse them in their hearts.

"We've recruited enough people, let's all go!"

When Qin Zhong heard Qin Yi's instructions conveyed by Gao Xianzhi, he shouted loudly at those who were not selected and stood at the gate of the villa for a long time and refused to leave.

"The young master said that there will be other workshops recruiting in the future, and there will be another chance next time."

After hearing what Qin Zhong said, those people knew that there was no hope today, so they left reluctantly.

What they didn't know was that what Qin Yi asked Qin Zhong to say was not an excuse to fool them.

Qin Yi already had more thoughts in his mind at this moment.

He asked Gao Sheji to put away the recruitment list. After a morning of hard work, the exhausted Qin Yi was about to go back to his room to rest when he suddenly heard Qin Zhong's voice coming from outside the door.

"Don't rush in blindly, kid! Today's recruitment has ended. Wait for the next opportunity and come serve the young master!"
