I am projecting the heavens in the revived Daming!

Chapter 11 Ready to settle down!

At noon, Wang Hua casually found a restaurant to pay homage to the Wu Zang Temple. The clerk of the dental shop did not dare to sit with Wang Hua anyway, and Wang Hua could only follow him.

I also ordered one meat and one vegetable for him, and asked him to eat in the lobby downstairs...

In Hangzhou in April, the weather at noon is still quite comfortable, neither hot nor cold, at least in Wang Hua's view, it is indeed a livable city.

At this time, the front gate of the house he just rented was already noisy. According to Zhao Er, the man who followed him, there were nearly 30 people crowded there.

Fortunately, someone was maintaining order in it, and after a while of shouting, it finally became quieter.

At the invitation of the shopkeeper Cui of the dental shop, Wang Hua came with him in front of these people.

"My lord, there are 28 people here, all of them are guarantors from Cui's Dental Clinic, and they hold the certificate of guarantor from the village chief in the city. They are from families with clean backgrounds."

It was generally agreed in the morning that these servants are basically hired on a family basis, that is to say, they have to include food and housing.

It doesn't matter to Wang Hua, he even thinks this is more reliable.

But what Wang Hua didn't expect was that so many people have always accepted this employment. It seems that the living standards of ordinary people have dropped drastically during the 31 years of Jiajing.

Hmm... It's also possible that it was not high in the first place. The so-called prosperous age is, after all, relative.

The so-called livelihood of the common people in the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than the fact that the income from hard work throughout the year would be able to feed a few mouths in the family.

Whenever there is a small famine or even a slightly poor harvest, it is a hurdle that I don't know if I can get over it.

When he came back to his senses, Wang Hua was a little embarrassed when he saw the shopkeeper Cui's expression of not knowing what it meant, and felt that he was acting too ignorant.

Little did he know that shopkeeper Cui was more certain in his heart that Wang Hua had an extraordinary background, and that he was indeed a son of a prince from a noble and noble family, who was too late for the wind and snow and moon on weekdays, so how could he have time to care about the complicated and chaotic lives of these Xialiba people?

The 28 people Cui's Dental Clinic brought to "interview" come from five families. Basically, the parents are all under 40 years old and above 30 years old, with two or three teenagers and half-old children.

In this age group, it happens that the parents are still in the strong labor force, and the children can count as most of the labor force.

At the same time, it is also the most difficult time for a family. As the old saying goes, "Half-sized children eat poor fathers", it refers to this embarrassing time. Children eat the most during this time period, but they cannot be used as a real strong laborer.

As a last resort, these families only accept the employment of the whole family, even if the wages are reduced by half, or even no wages.

Wang Hua sighed when he heard it. Sure enough, the common people in China have never had an easy time since ancient times.

But there is no way, we can only be poor now, I will hire more people at most, and there is nothing I can do to help.

In the end, Wang Hua chose a family surnamed Li and Yu. There were four adults, four children and eight people in total. The four children happened to be a man and a woman with the word "good". Wang Hua thought it would be auspicious.

The mothers of the two families, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yu took their respective daughters to be in charge of the work suitable for women, such as kitchen and washing, while the men and boys of the two families were responsible for the more laborious work.

Cui's dental firm acted as a middleman to sign a five-year contract with Wang Hua, Li and Yu.Every year, the family receives three taels of silver, but they have to cover food and housing.

Wang Hua felt that the price was so low that he couldn't see it, but this was the reality.

As for the Li and Yu families who wanted to kowtow to Wang Hua with great gratitude, Wang Hua had never seen this before, so he quickly stopped them.

Even saying that these rules are not popular at home, as long as they can do things with their heart.

Wang Hua arranged the two of them to live in the servants' rooms on the left and right sides of the front yard, left a few silver bumps for them to settle down, and then began to tidy up and clean the three courtyards.

The men of Li and Yu's families are strong laborers in their early 30s, but they all have simple and honest faces, and they look like honest and kind people.

But in real life, such people often can't live a very good life...

That night, Wang Hua continued to go out and found an inn in Dongcheng District to stay. Li and Yu's family also roughly cleaned out the main house where Wang Hua lived, and cleaned up more than half of the room they allocated before returning to their current residence before dark.

It is estimated that tomorrow will be busy for a long time, and all of them should be able to move in.

Wang Hua's main house still has a lot of bedding, bedding and other items that need to be added, which also made it impossible for him to move in that day.

Fortunately, these trivial matters can be handed over to the two women, Li Shi and Yu Shi, so Wang Hua doesn't need to worry about them.

Early the next morning, Wang Hua came out of the inn. After having breakfast on the side of the road, he specially packed a dozen steamed buns and went home.

Sure enough, there was a half-year-old boy waiting at the gate of his house far away. It was the son of the servant Li Laogen whom he met yesterday -- Li Erniu.

Li Erniu seems to be only a little over 1.6 meters tall, which is already relatively tall at the age of 14.

He looks lean and lean, and his body is still strong, but he is darker!
Seeing that Li Laogen and his wife are not considered black, I don't know who this kid is following...

Li Erniu obviously also recognized Wang Hua, although he only met a few times yesterday, but he worked very hard to write down Wang Hua's appearance seriously.

Although he was a little cautious when he met the Patriarch, Li Erniu trotted towards Wang Hua from a distance, bent over from a distance, and after receiving Wang Hua's response, he graciously reached out to take the oiled paper package in Wang Hua's hand.

"Master, I'm Erniu, my father asked me to wait for you at the door..."

"Well, hello Erniu."

Wang Hua was not hypocritical, and directly wrapped the oil paper in his hand to Erniu, and after leaving a word, Shi Shiran stepped into the gate.

"I don't know if you have had breakfast? This is for you."

Li Erniu froze in place for a moment when he heard the words, what did he bring to... us?

He lowered his head slightly, put his nose close to the oiled paper bag and took a sniff, he inhaled the sweet smell of wheat in an instant, and a trace of longing could not help but flash across his dark little face.

But Er Niu reacted quickly, and hurriedly followed Wang Hua.

"Master, then, then I'll take these to my mother first?"

Wang Hua looked at his cautious appearance, said nothing, just nodded and waved.

A trace of excitement flashed across Li Erniu's face when he heard the words, and he hurriedly ran towards the kitchen of the whole courtyard.

"Mother~ Master brought us something to eat!"

Wang Hua had already wandered around the house for a long time yesterday, besides, the layout of the Chinese-style courtyard is actually quite simple, and there is no worry about getting lost, at least this courtyard of Wang Hua is not too big.
