Chapter 1016 The Imperial Court Has Arrived

On the last day of work at the end of the year, the craftsmen in the mechanical workshop not only received their wages for the month, but there were also other workshops that did not have year-end rewards, and the number was very considerable.

What's even more outrageous is that, no, it's not rigorous enough, it's what makes other craftsmen angry: they also have a technical achievement award, and a reward of three times the wages during the days from 26 to 29 of the Chinese New Year.

What the craftsmen get in their hands is no longer the strings of big money in the past, but white money.

If this was many years ago, those of them who relied on craftsmanship for a living would never have dreamed of it. They still have today, and they can get so much wages just by relying on their own craftsmanship.

Although the Chinese New Year holiday is a few days late, what do you guys do?Isn't it just relying on doing things to make money to support the family?This is the property of the Qi family, and there is still work to be done in winter and wages can be earned.The other family stopped working as early as the freezing season, and they were struggling to earn money.

As a result, not only did they have something to do, but the boss also paid three times their wages as compensation.Just ask you, believe it or not, there is such a good thing in the world!

Near noon, in the conference room of the machinery workshop, the wages of the craftsmen had already been paid out, and before the celebration banquet had time to be held, the young guy at the gate of the workshop rushed in like flying.

While running, the little guy danced and shouted: "Grandma, big steward, quick, quick, the imperial court is here, the imperial court is here!"

All the craftsmen were taken aback, the court came?If you come, you will come. It's not like you haven't been here before, just come in, why are you panicking?I have never seen the world!

The craftsmen of their Qijia machinery workshop, can they be the same as others?They have all seen the world, but they are Lord Cheng, the chief supervisor of the imperial court. It would be difficult for other craftsmen to take a look, but they are very familiar with it.

So, since Mr. Cheng is here, please come in.Of course they will respectfully salute when they see the adults, but there is no need to yell like this and run in to reciprocate, right?

Wang Qiao noticed the difference. If Mr. Cheng came, the gatekeeper would of course be respectful, but he would not be so excited.Could it be someone from the palace?
He looked at Ye Xinyan.

Ye Xinyan stood up from the main seat first, and said, "I guess it's not Mr. Cheng, go out and meet him."

At any rate, the Qijia Machinery Workshop has solved a big problem for the imperial court. Even if the imperial court has not yet officially declared meritorious service, but the New Year is coming soon, if the emperor wants to express his attitude or something, it is not impossible.

It's just that I don't know what this attitude is?Is it enough?
Shi Yin didn't pay much attention to these matters, nor would he spend so much time thinking about such matters. He only glanced at Ye Xinyan and Wang Qiao who were leading people out, and then continued to gossip with the craftsmen around him.

Then, Grandma Jiang, the head of the machinery workshop, and Wang, the head of the machinery workshop, welcomed in. They were indeed people from the palace.

A middle-aged servant, accompanied by Ye Xinyan and Wang Qiao, walked in with two young servants, smiling.A small waiter was holding a tray covered with Huang Juan, followed by a big team, carrying two things that should be plaques.

The plaque is covered with big red velvet silk, so it is impossible to see what is written on it.

The servant came in and asked politely where the Patriarch of the Qi family was.
Ye Xinyan was stunned, because this is the Qi family machinery workshop, so does the emperor still have a copy of the plaque rewarded by the emperor?

She glanced at Qiu Runsheng, the logistics manager of the workshop.Qiu Runsheng also came to his senses from his astonishment, he hurried out and sent a smart nurse to invite Qi Younian to come over on horseback.

The eunuchs in the palace don't need everyone to kneel before they see the Lord and show the emperor's imperial decree and oral instructions.

This was originally a meeting room. When wages were paid before, everyone sat and chatted, waiting for the New Year's dinner.

At this time, a group of people sat far and near, and drank tea with the waiter for a long time.The waiter also tasted a few teas brought by the boy from the workshop, and Qi Younian hurried over.

Qi Younian is now in his sixties, but his body is thick and his face is flushed.He has come into contact with more dignitaries in the capital, and his early arrogance is also revealed.

After greeting each other with the waiter, the waiter really praised the old man for his good health and spirit, which is rare.

After that came the formal procedure. The waiter greeted the little waiter who was holding the tray to come forward, looked at a large group of people kneeling in front of him, picked up the bright yellow scroll and opened it.

In the imperial decree, a large space was used to praise the diligence of the Qijia Machinery Workshop, and the utensils and utensils made are beneficial to the country and the people.Then there is the gift of the emperor.

There are two plaques, one is for the Patriarch of the Qi family, and the big red velvet silk is opened, and there are four words written on the plaque: grow old and grow strong.

The other plaque is slightly larger, presumably it was used as a facade for the Qi family machinery workshop.It read: Excellent workmanship.

Then there are two jars not mentioned in the imperial decree.The internal servant Xuanhuang said: I heard that before the annual vacation of the machinery workshop, there will be a dinner party, and two altars of sweet-scented osmanthus brewing in the palace will be specially given to cheer up the craftsmen who have worked hard for a year.

These two altars of sweet-scented osmanthus brewing are more sensational than that plaque.After the imperial decree was read out, the eyes of the people below looked at the plaque, Xie En's voice was reverent and excited.

But the servant told the story that when the emperor gave the craftsman sweet-scented osmanthus wine, no one took the lead, and the voice of thanks came from below, and the shouts of long live were mixed with thunderous cheers.

Giving a plaque is an official procedure, and it means business.

This sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing is different, it is His Majesty's sympathy, and His Majesty's love for us hard-working people.Didn't you hear what the emperor said, the craftsmen have worked hard for a year.

This is what the emperor said, the emperor knows that we have worked hard for a year!
What an honor.

Qi Younian was also emotional. As the head of the Qi family, he thanked the emperor for his grace, and his hands trembling uncontrollably when he received the imperial edict made the people around him worry that the old man would accidentally drop the imperial edict on the ground due to a moment of excitement.That would be disrespectful, and a good thing can turn into a bad thing.

Wang Qiao just wanted to go forward to support Qi Younian and help him hold the incomparably noble scroll of Huang Juan.

Before he reached out his hand, the middle-aged servant who delivered the imperial decree had already helped Qi Younian's hand, and said softly, "Old man, be careful."

Those of them who can enter and leave the palace, and do errands for the emperor, none of them have a clear eye.Just kidding, even the Holy Majesty is willing to show favor to this folk craftsman. As a eunuch, he must of course follow the trend.It is also an opportunity to make a good impression in front of Grandma Jiang and this steward Wang in advance.

Especially Grandma Jiang, who is really hot now.Not only does the Holy Majesty value it, Grandma Jiang is also the right-hand man of His Royal Highness King Yu.The current court situation... Everyone must have a weighing in mind.

To put it bluntly, this gift from Mr. Qi, although the Holy One feels that Qi You should be strong when he is old, and in his old age, he can still create a great scene to support Guangsha.

However, the most important reason is that the Holy Majesty gave Grandma Jiang face.When Grandma Jiang was in distress, it was Qi Younian who came forward to take her in, and the family supported each other to tide over the difficulties.
