lady

Chapter 436 Are you happy?

Jin Rong also looked at the emperor with displeasure.As Ye Zi often said, what happened to Miss An Guo's mansion, she would still be hungry if she didn't eat, she would still be cold without clothes, and she still couldn't live without money.So, what's wrong with the prince of the country, doesn't he need to eat and dress?

Then the emperor said something that surprised the courtiers: "If you are asked to assist in doing things, is it because you are asked to do white work for others and make them lazy?"

"..." Although the emperor kept saying that he was the emperor of the people and that he put state affairs first, his son was the one who cared the most.

Jin Rong was immediately satisfied when he heard the words, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Father Huang Shengming."

When Jin Rong got up, he swept around the courtiers provocatively.Don't his workers pay others for their work?The courtiers were also wronged, they didn't think so at all, okay?

In fact, regarding the wages of the labor in Jin Rong's hands, there is absolutely no need to worry the majestic Prince Yu and the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion.

Jin Rong went to the court at the request of the emperor, and Ye Xinyan went to work in the small teahouse in the temporary office of the railway car company as usual.

Before entering the door, Liu Qing was already waiting for her in the teahouse.

As soon as Ye Xinyan bought a foot, she saw that Liu Qing seemed to have been waiting for her a long time ago, and immediately greeted her when she showed up.

She thought that there was something wrong with the track car, subconsciously withdrew her body and looked in the direction of the track.The rail carriage was running normally, and the passengers waiting for the ride were lined up in an orderly manner, nothing unusual.

Guan He behind him urged impatiently: "What's the matter, do you want to go in? Even if you don't go in, don't pretend to be at the door."

Ye Xinyan glared at Guan He, forget it, a man in a bad mood, especially a man with superb kung fu and a bad mood, it's better not to provoke him.

As she walked in, she asked Liu Qing, who was coming up to meet her, "Guan Liu has been here long ago? But is there something wrong?"

Liu Qing met Ye Xinyan, walked to the table together, and waited for her to sit in the seat where she usually sat before saying: "There is something wrong. Last night, merchants in two sections of Yingfang Street came to find the small one and talked about it. Things about their construction site."

Ye Xinyan was taken aback.This is too coincidental, right?An Guogong explained the emperor's intentions to her in detail yesterday, and the emperor seemed to intend to let Jin Rong continue to help other construction sites to complete the laying of the carriages as soon as possible.

Jinrong didn't believe it yet, these merchants who contracted the project have already been found, could it be that these merchants can't wait for the New Year and want to rush out some projects before the year?
"What did they say?" Ye Xinyan asked.

Liu Qing probably told Ye Xinyan about it. Generally speaking, those merchants saw that the foremen and craftsmen of the Changping Street section helped the three adjacent sections to catch up with the work, and the speed was faster than they imagined, and it was completed in only ten days.These people approached Liu Qing to discuss, and wanted these craftsmen to go to their place for advice after finishing their work, and said that the wages were negotiable.

Ye Xinyan took the tea offered by Bining, and asked with a smile: "These people still say that the wages are negotiable? What do they mean, they are willing to pay twice the rush wage?"

Liu Qing said with a smile: "Yes, these people are eager for our project to be completed and put into operation. But they are still worried about how to arrange the accumulated materials on the construction site after the New Year's shutdown. If they want to pay more wages, they are willing to put those materials Set up on rails for safekeeping."

Ye Xinyan thought for a while and asked Liu Qing, "Have you ever asked Mr. Hu about this matter?"

Liu Qing shook his head and said: "Yesterday when they came to look for the young one, it was already dinner time, and it was very late when they finished talking. The young one thought it was nothing important, so he didn't bother Liu Ye. When this morning came, the young one I left a message for Mr. Hu, and Mr. Hu should be here in a while."

Ye Xinyan asked Liu Qing: "Guard Liu has been working outside. Do you think this can be done? What about the workers? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Are they willing to earn double wages?"

Liu Qing said with a smile: "Although people attach great importance to the New Year, earning money to support their families is equally important. Nowadays, most of the coolies and craftsmen in the capital and surrounding areas who work on the construction site prefer to stay and continue to work."

"That's good." Ye Xinyan said, "It's already the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is cold, and we are working in the open air. If it is finally decided to help other construction sites before the end of the year, the wages and double wages at night will have to be increased by one rise."

Liu Qing was very pleased when he heard this.He knew that the people down there relying on coolies and handicrafts for a living, they were not afraid of work, what they were afraid of was not having work to do and not being able to earn money.Although the construction site at home is meticulous and compact, and you can't be lazy, you don't owe wages.

Moreover, there is no such risky work that puts the lives of the sufferers at risk, so many people would rather work tiringly than work on their construction sites.

The double wages paid at night in the previous few days have already made the workers ecstatic.If there is more, those people are very willing to do it.

Liu Qing said: "It would be great if it could be done like this. It would be a good thing for the coolies to earn more money and have a good year. However, I wonder if we will violate some people's taboos by intervening in the entire track project? "

Ye Xinyan sighed: "I do have this concern. We are just discussing the feasibility here. Whether it can be done or not, we have to discuss it with Master Liu and Mr. Hu before making a decision."

Hu Jing had some other things in his hands, after he took care of them, he came to the small teahouse, it was getting late.

Ye Xinyan heard Hu Jing talk about it, and then she knew that Jin Rong had actually gone to court, no wonder she hadn't arrived yet.

Hu Jing still left the main seat vacant. He sat on a chair on one side of the table and said, "Yesterday it was getting late, and Liu Ye received a letter from the palace asking Liu Ye to go to court. I figured, No matter what, Liu Ye has to wait until after the next court before he can come."

Ye Xinyan nodded: "If this matter is said to be small, it is indeed not big. But if it is a big deal, it can also make a big deal. There must be a legitimate reason before doing something. If the emperor can speak Arrange errands, that's the best."

Hu Jing had some guesses about Jin Rong's entry into the palace, "The emperor recruited the sixth master to go to court at this time, so it can only be said that the track is laid. However, the projects on those construction sites are too far behind. It would be nice to be able to load bulk materials on the construction site, at least to avoid losing materials during the Chinese New Year.”

It wasn't until the end of the time that Jin Rong came to Changping Street with two Xiaosi and two long followers.

Although Jin Rong had something to discuss with Ye Xinyan and Hu Jing, he hadn't seen how the carriage drove on the track, so he couldn't help being curious.

Therefore, Jin Rong was not in a hurry to enter the small teahouse, but delayed for a while not far away, until he watched the three carriages set off from the station at intervals, trotting smoothly and lightly on the track, and then went to the small teahouse with satisfaction Come in.

Jin Rong came in, and before he sat down, he asked with a smile, "What are you talking about here?"

Hu Jing and the others stood up and welcomed Jin Rong in. After he sat down, Hu Jing said with a smile: "What we are discussing here, the sixth master must not have thought of it. However, we can guess something about the sixth master in the court hall." two."

Jin Rong pushed the teacup handed over by Bining forward, and said with a smile: "It's not surprising that you can guess it. The emperor recruited me to court at this time. There is nothing but the track project, but there are also things that you can't guess. things."

Speaking of this, Jin Rong turned to Ye Xinyan, looked at her with a smile, and said slowly: "Father said, let the manpower in the fortification of King Yu's mansion and Ye Xinyan, the granddaughter of Duke Anguo, assist the construction sites of other track projects." , finish the work as soon as possible."

"Oh, isn't that still helping other construction sites?" Ye Xinyan said this before she noticed something else in the words, and she was surprised, "The emperor arranged for An Guogong's granddaughter to work in the court?"

Jin Rong nodded to her with a smile: "Not only can you be the granddaughter of An Guogong, but also the daughter of the father who arranged errands in the court, and no one will dare to treat you lightly in the future. Are you happy? "

　It's too late, I have something to say tomorrow.
