Happy peasant girl

Chapter 240 Recruiting Apprentices (2)
The news that Nayuan was going to select female workers spread like wildfire. Before the day of the formal assessment, the outside of Nayuan was crowded with people.

"Girl, there are too many people. It is estimated that there will be more people in two days. What should we do?" This time Lin Qingxi meant to select another [-] female workers, but Jasmine came here as soon as she saw the news. There are almost seven or eight hundred people, and there are still people coming one after another.

"Didn't someone tell me about the wages? Why are there so many people here?" Lin Qingxi also had a headache. It was useless for her to have so many female workers. Yunzhou is not as good as the capital, and I don't know how the sales will be.

"Girl, let's not talk about it. After working here for a month, the female workers in Nayuan not only get free board and lodging, but also rewards, and their wages have changed the living conditions of their families, so many people only hear these things. They came here like crazy." When Jasmine fled, she met many homeless or difficult women. They were lucky to find a good family, but unfortunately, they would end up in a brothel, or starve to death or freeze to death.

Linqingxi saw these people who came to Nayuan, some of them came by themselves, some were accompanied by parents, brothers and sisters, some were accompanied by their husbands and children, and they all wore patched thin clothes in winter, tremblingly looking forward to Looking at the door of Nayuan.

"Little girl, it's already this time in this garden, why don't you open the door?" A hunchbacked old woman asked Lin Qingxi, leading a girl who was about the same size as Lin Qingxi.

Linqingxi and Moli were dressed in ordinary clothes and stood not far from the gate of Nayuan. Many people regarded them as ordinary villagers of Linjia Village.

Linqingxi really wanted to tell them that the female worker in Nayuan had already moved to the nursery of Xiyuan yesterday to collect shoe soles. In winter, she didn't plan to open the door of Nayuan here.

However, she swallowed the words again, and said to the old woman with a smile: "Grandma, Nayuan will not open today, but will open tomorrow. Is this your granddaughter? Her needlework is Not very good?"

The old woman's face was a little disappointed, she sighed and said: "So the door is not open today. My granddaughter and I walked here from a long distance. This child, she...she can't handle needles and threads, I just I want to ask if there are any female apprentices here."

"Grandma, there is no need for apprentices in Nayuan, and the requirements for needlework here are relatively high. I'm afraid your granddaughter is hopeless. It's so cold, you should take her home quickly!" Lin Qingxi couldn't bear to say goodbye to the old man That's what the woman said, but that's how it is in Dana Garden.

"There is no home! It doesn't matter, I'm waiting!" Even after Lin Qingxi said so, the old woman did not despair, because when people are extremely desperate, there is always a glimmer of hope in despair.

"Girl, Mr. Xin is looking for you!" Qiangwei ran to Nayuan and whispered to Linqingxi.

Lin Qingxi glanced at the people guarding Nayuan again, her eyes dimmed a little, the desolate mountains in the distance made them look even more desolate, what could she do!

Xin Moyang was waiting for Linqingxi in Xiyuan. Han Xiao and Wen Fei had just arrived from the capital of Chu State, and they were drinking hot tea poured for them by hibiscus.

"My lord, this hanging kang is really warm. Later, I will bring some craftsmen who know how to make hanging kangs back to the country of Wu, so that I won't be afraid of the cold in winter." Han Xiao said with a smile.

"You can go to Grandpa for help with craftsmen. All the craftsmen in Chu State who can hang Kang are his disciples and grandchildren." The "Grandpa" in Xin Moyang's mouth refers to Linyuan Mountain.

"Really? I didn't expect Miss Lin's family to be capable people!" Han Xiao said with a smile.

"It's what the poor can't do, that's what the poor have to do to survive." Lin Qingxi walked into the room and said, "Xin Moyang, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"Han Xiao, give her the letter." Xin Moyang said to Han Xiao.

Han Xiao took out a letter and gave it to Lin Qingxi. Lin Qingxi took it in surprise, looked at it, and then said even more surprised: "Brother Wei Xuan wants to do business with you in Wu Kingdom? When will you two ..." Lin Qingxi spit out the words "hook up" into the air.

"Miss Lin, Young Master Wei has agreed to cooperate with my Young Master to do business in the country of Wu, and the revised contract documents have been written, and the young lady is the guarantor." Han Xiao took out two more contract documents.

"Why should I be a guarantor? Also, what is this?" Lin Qingxi found that one of them was written with a sharing agreement.

"This is a sharing document negotiated between Mr. Wei and my son. In the future, the money earned by the girl's mille-soled cloth shoes in the country of Wu will be [-]% for Mr. Wei, [-]% for my son, and [-]% for the girl. In the future, Zhuanghexianzhuang will specially send the cloth and needles and threads used for making cloth shoes to the girls." Han Xiao said with a smile.

"Wait, wait! Did I hear wrong? Even if Xin Moyang cooperates with Brother Wei Xuan, I am at best a 'big housekeeper' hired by you, but the housekeeping fee seems to be too high, not too high, It's not normal at all, what are you two thinking?" Wu Guo is richer than Chu Guo, and Lin Qingxi would be very happy if the cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles could be sold to Wu Guo, but Wei Xuan and Xin Moyang cooperated Forget it, why bring her into it.

Xin Moyang always thought that Lin Qingxi worked so hard for money, but now she thinks it's too much money, and he also wants to know if she is also a little abnormal.

"Miss Lin, no one in this world will have a grudge against Yinzi. Just think about it, once the cloth shoes with thousand-ply bottoms arrive in Wu State, not to mention my son, they will sell these cloth shoes in the name of my Han Xiao. I think it's just for transportation. The large boats of cloth shoes and shoe soles are connected on the Guanjiang River. The hundreds of female workers in Nayuan are just enough to supply the shoe soles for the capital of Chu State. In the future, more female workers will be recruited, and it will be very troublesome to manage. Of course you It will be very hard. Besides, you are the savior of my wife and miss. My wife often says that you are her other daughter, so my son must take good care of you. My son doesn’t have much else, but he has a lot of money. You definitely won’t take your money, so it’s better to start a business together and earn more dowry money for Miss Tongsheng of my family. So, don’t refuse.” Han Xiao has always been eloquent, and he can talk about death He survived, and he saw people talking, compared to Xin Moyang who was silent and silent, Lin Qingxi might be able to accept it when he said it so straightforwardly.

Sure enough, Lin Qingxi thought for a moment, then said: "Forty percent is too much, I want two percent to do it, Xin Moyang, you and Wei Xuan brother each have fourty percent, if you can accept this, then I will sign these two documents .”

"As you wish!" Xin Moyang dropped these three words, got up and left.

What made him angry was not that Lin Qingxi rejected the original proposal, but that Wei Xuan had already guessed that Lin Qingxi would not ask for such a large share, and he still said in the message to him that Lin Qingxi would agree if he wanted [-]%. Well, if she is forced to give her [-]%, I am afraid that this matter will not be successful.
