In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 73 Yi Wang is actually not bad (three more)

After Huang Zheng left that day, Zhao Yurui accompanied the teenagers to finish their run, and then did two more sets of push-ups to improve their strength.

At the end of the morning, someone came to report that the craftsmen had finished the samples.

Zhao and Rui were overjoyed and immediately went to the west of Huaide Hall.

The four craftsmen lived and boarded in the palace recently, specially helping Zhao Yurui create new objects.

When I arrived at the west of Huaide Hall, I saw that there was already a billiard table installed in the main hall, and another one was being installed.

There are more than a dozen balls on the table, which are the same size as he said.

"Greetings to the palace." Several craftsmen came to pay their respects.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll take a look first." Zhao Yurui was overjoyed, and reached out to take a black 8 with a heavy hand, feeling like a descendant.

He was pleasantly surprised: "What kind of wood is this?"

"King Huiyi, this is iron pear wood, which is rich in Guangnan East Road (Guangdong) in Lingnan, and it is extremely heavy."

Iron pear wood is produced in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. It is also dry wood, weighing more than 2000 kilograms per cubic meter, more than double that of dry pine wood. This is also a wood commonly used in ancient shipbuilding, and it is hard and heavy.

Including the pool table, the pool cues are also made of iron pear wood. Zhao Yurui tried it out personally, and the effect is not bad, but the ball is not as round as later generations. After all, the tools are limited now, but they are already quite good.

There are quite a few people around him now, except Chief Quan, Zhou Lai, Niu Bao, Quan Yong, and Chen Xiaodao are all there.

He explained the rules, taught them, and played a round with each of them.

There was no entertainment in the Southern Song Dynasty, and several people became addicted to playing it, and they all thought it was fun.

Then Zhao Yurui saw mahjong again.

Mahjong was polished by mason Liu Fu with rocks, and it was heavy and heavy, but he said that he accidentally broke a few in the middle and played again, so he made it slowly.

Zhao Yurui's heart moved slightly: "Mahjong can also use iron pear wood, which is fast and durable."

He only thought that the mahjong would sink, and forgot that the stones would be easily broken. He immediately decided that the mahjong should also be made of iron pear wood, and asked the carpenter to rebuild it.

In the future, the mahjong made of iron pear wood will be made of stone, and the mahjong sold will be made of stone, because others will definitely break it and then sell it again.

As for masonry, it can be used to create the top of a pool table.

After a while, several craftsmen, Liu Fu, Chen Yong, Zhang Shihai, and Wei Abao stood in front of Zhao Yurui respectfully.

They all have their own shops, and most of their family members are also in this business. This time, they were hired by King Yi with a lot of money, and they stayed in the palace for several days to build these things.

Of course they don't know what these things are useful for, but Zhao Yurui will make a decision: "This king wants to hire you as master craftsmen for our palace, don't worry, you are not slaves, but master craftsmen, who specialize in making utensils for our palace."

"I receive a fixed salary of five copper coins per month." Zhao Yurui reminded them emphatically that this is copper coins.

"If your son's family members also work in this industry, they will be paid according to their age."

Craftsmen do not have business every day, and they earn five guan a month, but they may not be able to save three guan, because they all have family members who depend on them.

The four of them were all a little moved when they heard the quotation. After a while, the carpenter Wei Abao said in a low voice: "Dare to ask King Yi, there are two sons and a daughter in the villain's family, who can do some carpentry with the villain. How much wages?"

"How old are you?" Zhao Yurui asked.

Wei Abao said that the oldest was 19 years old and the youngest was [-].

"Each person has two rounds per month, and three people have six rounds."

Wei Abao blushed, a little excited: "Is it all copper coins?" He asked again.

"It's all copper coins." Zhao Yurui said affirmatively.

The family's eleven-year salary has already exceeded the salary level of a county captain, and it is all copper coins. He must not have earned so much before.

Wei Abao didn't even think about it, and immediately said, "I'm willing."

The other three were still hesitating. Wu Guan said it was a lot less, but it was not a lot more.

Zhao Yurui said again, among the women in your family, if they are willing, they can also work in the palace, every month.

The money is not much, but it is better than staying at home, and there is no need to sign a contract like a maid, and you can come and go freely.

After Zhao Yurui explained this, everyone's complexion changed again. There was nothing to say, and the four agreed to serve King Yi.

All four of them have family members working with them, the youngest is only nine years old, but Zhao and Rui still pay the same wages.

The minimum monthly income of each family is Jiuguan.

And Zhao Yurui also reassured them, this is only the basic salary, there are bonuses for important festivals and Chinese New Year.

When finally sending them away, he said to Quan Baochang, "Prepare a contract for them, and each family will give them [-] yuan to settle down."

"Thank you King Yi." The four were extremely excited and knelt down at the same time.

It was the first time they saw neither Zhao nor Rui knelt down, so they knelt down in excitement.

But such a few craftsmen are not enough for Zhao Yurui. As a time traveler, he certainly knows the importance of monopoly, and he needs a large number of craftsmen in preparation for outsourcing in the future.

He asked the four of them to help him introduce other well-known and well-skilled craftsmen in Lin'an City. As long as they can be recruited, there will be rewards.

The four agreed to leave.

The four of them had just left, when the Chief of Security came to report, and a man named Zhong You came to the door with some gifts.

Hahaha, Zhao Yurui laughed and invited him in.

When I saw Zhong You again, Zhong You was not as arrogant as last time.

"Your official pays homage to King Yi." Zhong You looked respectful and called himself an official.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhong is not polite, he is his own brother." Zhao Yurui stepped forward to help him, and the corner of Zhong You's mouth twitched. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. What is his name, Old Zhong?

But there is no way, who makes King Yi the most popular now.

"What happened last night was wrong with my subordinates. I have come to apologize to King Yi." Zhong You didn't talk nonsense, and apologized immediately.

Ready to go.

Zhong You was very dissatisfied that the emperor wanted to ground him for ten days, but he also knew that this matter had nothing to do with King Yi, it was Empress Yang who was playing tricks, but he would definitely be upset with King Yi.

I can't fight again and again, and now I'm not as good as King Yi in the backstage. How do I live these days?How can they run rampant in Lin'an City in the future?
Unexpectedly, King Yi refused to let him go: "Let's go later."

"." Zhong You stared at him, thinking that King Yi wanted someone to beat him.

"What we talked about last night, don't say that this king is bullying you, let you familiarize yourself with it first, after you have practiced, come and compare with this king."

Zhao Yurui took him to play billiards first.

"Damn it." Zhong You swears at that time, and finds this thing is quite fun.

Although it is completely different from Cuju, King Yi is suspected of talking nonsense, but he really hits the ball into the hole.

He played three games in a row and didn't want to leave.

Zhao Yurui took him to play mahjong again, and then called Quan Yong and Zhou Lai to accompany him.

After a round of beating, the three of Zhao and Rui didn't make much fuss, and Zhong You made eight out of ten.

This made him happy, and he immediately felt that he was very talented, he was like a prodigy, and he could learn it as soon as he learned it.

Even Zhao Yurui praised him, they didn't expect him to be so good at poker.

Zhong You was very upset when he came, but he was very excited when he left, and took a set of mahjong with him.

Zhao Yurui also promised him that he would install a pool table in his house in a few days and let him practice hard.

When he walked out of Prince Wei's mansion, Zhong You looked back and thought, this King Yi is actually not bad, if he loses [-] guan, I will take less from him and not let him kneel down.
