Rebirth in another world as a fake eunuch

Chapter 77

The county magistrate's name was Jin Zhimao. After learning that the person behind the workshop was actually Wang Kuo, without further ado, he led someone to find a reason to seal up the unfinished workshop.

But even at this time, Di Bo didn't think about informing Wang Kuo, because after walking around during this period, Di Bo also met many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Fengping County, and felt that as long as he was spending some money to manage things, he would be fine. That's it.

It's just that he has been out for so long and needs to report to work, so a letter was sent to the capital, explaining the things here in a simple way.

But he didn't want to see his lord appear in front of him after only three days had passed.

"Surname Jin?"

Could it have something to do with Jin Yuanhou?Wang Kuo rubbed his chin and guessed secretly.

At the same time, he was also a little embarrassed. After listening to Di Bo's explanation, he also knew that the reason why the other party blocked his workshop was for him, but he had many enemies. If it wasn't for this guy's surname Jin, he would There's really nowhere to guess.

"Have you checked his whereabouts?"

"My lord, I have already sent someone to investigate. This Jin Zhimao is Jin Yuanhou's distant cousin. The reason why he became the magistrate of this county is that Jin Yuanhou is behind the scenes."

Di Bo was not stupid, he had already sent people out to investigate Jin Zhimao's background on the day his workshop was closed.

And this Jin Zhimao didn't know if it was because of bullshit, he didn't hide his relationship with Jin Yuanhou, on the contrary, he made many people know about it, so it was easy to find out.

After telling the news he had found, Di Bo glanced at his lord without any trace, seeing his lord's expressionless face, he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.

My lord, the enemies are really everywhere.

Wang Kuo didn't know what Di Bo was thinking, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, but wouldn't it be useless not to attract envy?How can I have no enemies when I am so good?

"A member of the Jin family? It seems that the power of the Jin family is really not small." After hearing that it was a member of the Jin family, he was not surprised, because he had heard about it from Concubine Yin and Yin Qingqing before. He didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Jin family, but he didn't want to meet him just by choosing a place at random.

Shaking his head helplessly, he also knew that Di Bo was not to blame for this matter. After all, Jin Zhimao was the current manager of a three-acre land in Fengping County, so it really didn't take much effort to put him on and put on shoes.

But now that he has come, there is actually a solution, unless that Jin Zhimao is a master of Qingtian, otherwise he will not be able to escape.

"Let me see if there is any nest of our Jinyiwei here. If there is, let their heads come to see me. If not, send me to investigate the matter of Jin Zhimao. I don't believe that he is a big brother of Qingtian. My lord, I didn't do anything wrong."

Wang Kuo waved his hand and gave the order directly.

"Yes, my lord." Hearing this, Ji Ce quickly took orders and left.

Di Bo is the landlord, and he still has something to report to Wang Kuo, so he is the only one who can do something like this.

Sure enough, as soon as Ji Ce left, Wang Kuo asked Di Bo again.

"I asked you to recruit craftsmen, how is it going?"

In Wang Kuo's view, Jin Zhimao, a small seventh-rank official, is really not as important as these craftsmen. The reason why Jin Zhimao needs to be dealt with first is because he blocked his way.

"My lord, during this period of time, I have passed the news through Jianghu. I don't know what happened to the surrounding prefectures, but craftsmen have already rushed over from several prefectures close to Fengping County."

"My lord, I bought a house with three entrances and three exits in the city. I arranged all the craftsmen there. Currently, there are 13 blacksmiths and 24 carpenters, including carvers, bricklayers, drummers, There are several chairmakers, painters, cobblers, foundries, and so on."

"Yes, it seems that you have really worked hard during this time." Nodding in satisfaction, he was really confused. If Di Bo hadn't talked to him so much just now, Wang Kuo would have thought that craftsmen were blacksmiths and blacksmiths. What about carpenters and bricklayers?

How do you know that among the artisans, there are chair makers and lacquer makers?

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that these craftsmen have a great effect.

Thinking of it this way, it made me even more satisfied.

"Well, let's go, take me to meet these craftsmen first while you are free."

After thinking about it, Wang Kuo decided to meet these craftsmen.

First of all, these people will be his subordinates in the future. As a leader, it is also necessary to meet them, and he also needs to give these people a name and the most important thing is to see how their skills are.

If possible, it is best to divide these craftsmen into grades, so as to determine the salary, and at the same time make these people full of fighting spirit. As long as you raise the level, the salary will naturally be higher. money?Just train me first.

"My lord, this is Dongshan Province, Yuan Shu from Southeast Mansion. He is a very good blacksmith. It is said that as long as there are blueprints, there is no iron that Master Yuan can't make. He is very famous in the entire Dongshan Province." Di Bo pointed out. He introduced a brawny man who looked to be in his fifties but was covered in flesh.

"Young man Yuan Shu, I have met you." Yuan Shu also bowed to Wang Kuo in a timely manner, not only without the slightest pride, but also very low-key.

The reality is not false. In this era of clear hierarchy, it is undeniable that there will be some talented people who are proud of their talents, but more people are like Yuan Shu.

This group of people didn't care about their abilities, in fact, after they saw the officials, they themselves were a little weaker, so naturally they would not show contempt for Wang Kuo.

Because in that way, not only is it unnecessary, but it is also easy to bring disasters on yourself, as long as you are not stupid, you will not do it.

"Well, Master Yuan has worked hard. I will have a look at Master Yuan's craftsmanship in a while. I hope the master will not hide his secrets."

Nodding kindly, Wang Kuo also turned and walked to the next craftsman.

"My lord, this is Li Jianneng. He was born in Datong Mansion in Xishan Province. He is a carpenter and has a great reputation in Xishan Prefecture."

"My lord, this is Zhang Ping. He was also born in Xishan Province, and he is also a good blacksmith."

"My lord, this is..." Di Bo introduced these craftsmen to Wang Kuo in front of him, but those who could be introduced by him were all good skills. Even in the team of people, he couldn't meet everyone one by one and express his condolences.

After Di Bo's introduction, Wang Kuo has a general understanding of the craftsmen under his hand. Simply put, this group of craftsmen is roughly divided into three levels, among which Yuan Shu and Li Jianneng are the first level. , I haven't seen the specifics of the skill yet, but it's pretty good to get Di Bo to praise him so much.

The second is the craftsmen in the second stage. This kind of craftsmen have been able to become apprentices, accept business on their own, and can make ordinary objects, which can be regarded as a backbone force.

Finally, there is a group of craftsmen who are still apprentices. Almost all of these craftsmen are apprentices of the above-mentioned people. They came here with their apprentices after receiving news from here, or after being recommended by others.

Talking and stopping along the way can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of these people.

Wang Kuo called Di Bo and asked him to take all these people to the courtyard in the middle, where Wang Kuo had people specially prepared all kinds of utensils used by craftsmen.

After a while, a group of people gathered in the huge courtyard. When these craftsmen saw the utensils in the courtyard, they knew in their hearts that this was an assessment for them, and they had already prepared for it.

But before the assessment, Wang Kuo still had something to say, so he walked up to the crowd, pondered for a while, then looked at the crowd and smiled.

"Everyone's ability, I actually have a rough guess in my mind, but the guess is not true, so some necessary assessments are still needed."

"But!" At this point, Wang Kuo's tone suddenly paused, and he glanced at the people who were listening with pricked ears, and then his expression became serious, and he continued: "But everyone comes to this official to do things, then this official will I have to be responsible to you, so I have to talk about your treatment first."

"First of all, the official will divide all craftsmen into five grades, among which the fifth grade is the highest, and the first grade is the lowest. The corresponding salary is that the first grade is paid one hundred copper coins per month, and the second grade is 50 copper coins per month. The monthly salary is one tael, the third class is three taels, the fourth class is ten taels, and the highest fifth class is [-] taels per month.”

After Wang Kuo mentioned the issue of remuneration, all the craftsmen who were called over couldn't help but their faces were unpredictable, from the disappointment of the first class, to the eyes of the third class and later.

However, what they didn't expect was that these were just appetizers, and Wang Kuo had just mentioned the treatment that really made them fall completely.

"Next, I will assess each of you one by one. The official who successfully advances to the third class will also be awarded the official title of Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, and the fourth-rank craftsman will be granted the position of General Banner. The ranking is from the seventh rank , the fifth rank is the position of a hundred households, which is higher than that of the sixth rank."

goo...

With a grunt, I don't know which craftsman swallowed his saliva suddenly, official position?How many people dream of doing this?Unexpectedly, it will appear in front of them now, and it seems that it is still within easy reach. How can this not make them excited?
Bragging, do you use drafting?

The answer is no, for a guy like Wang Kuo who doesn't have half the psychological burden of lying, it's just a lie, and it's drizzle.

If it wasn't for the fact that no one would believe in sealing a thousand households, he would really be willing to seal a thousand households or even get a higher position.

However, apart from the failure of hundreds of households, there is actually no pressure to seal a general banner and a small banner. With his position as the governor of Nanzhen Fusi, it is not difficult to seal a few small banners. As for the hundred households, he is bragging. up.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I am promoted in the official position in the future.Or if there is a chance in the future, he will find a way to fulfill today's promise.

As the saying goes, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. The reason why he is talking nonsense here is not without reason, because the next task he arranges is likely to attract the attention of these craftsmen. , these people will explain to themselves.

We are poor, so it's normal to have some weapons!
