Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 43 No wages
Two carriages entered the village in one day, which was unprecedented in Beiguan Village.

After what happened during the day, the villagers in Beiguan Village were even more panicked when they saw another carriage approaching.

Fortunately, there was only one carriage.

There are no official duties.

The carriage was still parked in front of Song Chen's house. Before the carriage could stop, Zhuang Boxong jumped out of the carriage and stood outside Song Chen's house and called several times.

"Miss Song, I'm Zhuang Bosong. I'm sorry to bother you so late. Can you please ask Miss Song to come out and talk?"

Song Chen had just laid down, preparing to wait for his family to fall asleep before entering the space. Zhuang Boli shouted like this from outside, and all the Song family's sleep was shaken away.

"Xiaochen, it's so late, why are there still people looking for you?" Mrs. Song Wang was a little worried.

Song Chen rolled his eyes silently, Zhuang Bosong, what does he want to do?
"I asked my brother to go out with me and take a look. You can go to sleep."

After putting on his shoes and getting out of bed, Song Chen called Song He, who was already dressed, "Brother, come with me out for a while."

"Well, let's go. Who is outside? Is there any danger?" Song He lowered his head and searched around the ground. It seemed that there was nothing he could take advantage of.

Song Chen was made to laugh by his action, "You don't need to find anything to defend yourself, you are just a noble house builder."

"Ah? The master who built the house? Did you ask someone to find him? Why didn't you come earlier? What were you thinking about so late at night?"

"Who knows."

The soundproofing of the broken house was quite poor, it could be said that there was no soundproofing at all, especially on such a quiet night, the conversation between the brother and sister fell into Zhuang Bosong's ears word for word.

Zhuang Bosong's face looked a little weird under the night sky, and he didn't know whether the brother and sister did it on purpose.

The door creaked open, and Song Chen and Song He walked out of the house.

Zhuang Bosong hurriedly took a few steps forward, not caring about anything else, and went straight to the topic eagerly.

"Miss Song, I should be responsible for the construction of your house, is that possible?"

Song Chen looked calm, "Don't you look down on small houses like ours in the countryside?"

"It was Mr. Zhuang who had poor eyesight before. If there is any offense, please don't be angry with Ms. Song. To be honest with Ms. Song, I still have a big Zhuangzi in hand now. I didn't worry about it before and put it down like this. So before I'm so anxious, please don't take it to heart, Miss Song."

Zhuang Boxong had Cang Xiuxuan's order, and now he did not dare to reveal his identity privately.

Song Chen smiled and said, "Come here now, can you rest assured Zhuangzi? It's better for Mr. Zhuang to go back and watch Zhuangzi. It would be bad if something happens to such a big Zhuangzi."

"I have already made arrangements for Zhuangzi." Zhuang Bosong pretended that he did not understand the meaning of Song Chen's words.

"I've made arrangements here, please come back, Mr. Zhuang." Song Chen didn't have a good impression of Zhuang Bosong, and now he didn't want to use him no matter who he was.

"Miss Song, Zhuang apologizes again for what he did before. I have seen the drawings drawn by Miss Song. If you want to realize the above idea, looking at the Great Rong Kingdom, I am afraid that no one can complete it except me, Zhuang Bosong. I am very interested in what Miss Song painted, so I asked Miss Song to take this opportunity."

Zhuang Bosong was a little anxious. He had no doubt that Song Chen would not nod in agreement if he didn't let Song Chen calm down.

"I can guarantee that I will be here wholeheartedly while building the house in Miss Song's house, and I won't charge any wages."

"No wages?"

Song Chen heard him talking about the drawings, and finally understood why he came all night to find her to join. After all, the things she drew were unprecedented in this era. People like Zhuang Bosong encountered brand new things. , must be very interested, otherwise there is no need for him to be so.

She was a little tempted by the fact that she didn't get paid.

When she went to find Shopkeeper Cui earlier, she also asked Shopkeeper Cui Zhuang Bosong who he was, but she didn't expect that he was a famous person in Dayong Kingdom.

A person who has always only participated in the construction of large houses must be very unbalanced when he is suddenly asked to build a house in the countryside.

"I will definitely not charge a penny of wages. I will take care of the food and accommodation myself."

Zhuang Bosong hurriedly expressed his position.

"Now that you have seen my drawings, you know that some things still need workers with excellent skills. I don't have the right people at the moment. If Mr. Zhuang can help me solve this matter, I can Think about it.”

Song Chen actually knew in her heart that few people could realize her ideas. The reason why she gave Shopkeeper Cui the drawings she drew was because she wanted Shopkeeper Cui to show them to him first when he was looking for someone, otherwise he would come over. If people can't do it, it's all in vain.

The corner of Zhuang Bosong's mouth twitched. Didn't he say that she had made all the arrangements?

So what's the matter with asking him for someone now?

This girl must be convinced that he dared to say this. She was clearly trying to push the envelope.

But what can he do?He was the one who asked for it. Now let alone looking for workers, he would be willing to pay all the money to build the house.But I definitely wouldn’t say that right now.

"I will take care of the workers' matters."

"Okay, if that's the case, Mr. Zhuang can come over tomorrow. As you can see, our house is going to collapse at any time. We have to build a new house."

"Okay, I'll bring someone over early tomorrow morning."

Song Chen agreed to his request, and Zhuang Bosong breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if he missed such a great opportunity, he might never be interested in architecture again in his life.

Looking at the carriage leaving at a very fast speed, Song Chen had a proud smile on his face.

Under the shimmering moonlight, Song He only felt that Song Chen's expression was a little scary, "Sister, why did I hear what you said? It means that Mr. Zhuang is begging to help us build a house. I think he He seems to be of high status, why is he doing this?"

Song Chen stretched his body and said, "You will know why later. Go back to the house and go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuang Bosong came over with several master workers.

Just as he was getting into work, Zhuang Bosong's whole temperament changed. He changed out of his long robe, wore a short coat and led several workers around the foundation of Song Chen's new house several times, and finally selected a specific Location.

"Miss Song, this position is the best. If there is no problem, we can start communicating about the next thing. We can get the positioning line out today and start digging the foundation tomorrow."

"Mr. Zhuang still knows Feng Shui?" Song Chen was a little surprised by the direction he mentioned.

This is usually determined by Feng Shui masters. She had forgotten about this matter yesterday, but to her surprise, Zhuang Bosong solved this problem for her.

"This is something I must understand in my profession. Otherwise, if something goes wrong when building houses for those noble people, I will not be able to bear the consequences." Zhuang Bosong explained.

Song Chen understood clearly that people in ancient times believed in these things.

She also felt that it was better to believe that it was true than to believe that it was not.

"Since this matter has been handed over to Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang will do his best to do it. I am a layman and will not interfere. Except for Mr. Zhuang who can ask me about the parts of the drawing that he does not understand, there is no need to go through me."

This is Song Chen's consistent principle.

"Don't worry, Miss Song." Such sufficient trust made Zhuang Boxong feel quite emotional.

The next time, Zhuang Bosong and his workers began to draw lines on the ground with plant ash. Originally, it was more clear to use lime, but in this era, lime is still a relatively rare thing. Generally, only wealthy families can afford it. Zhuang Bosong did not Tangled up in these little things.

He decided on every point, left the rest to the workers, and went to find Song Chen.

"Although Miss Song's house is not very big, the construction below is quite expensive. I made a preliminary estimate and it will cost about 180 to 200 taels to build the house."

200 taels of silver may be just background money for those wealthy families, but it is definitely an astronomical figure for rural people.

Zhuang Bosong thought it would be better to explain this matter to Song Chen clearly in advance.

Of the 200 taels of silver, Song Chen almost had more than 200 taels left in his hand. He didn't expect that he spent 200 taels just to build this house. The remaining money also needed to build furniture and so on, which was really not enough.

"Mr. Zhuang, wait a moment."

After Song Chen said something to him, he got up and walked into the house. Song Wang and the others were all watching at the construction site, and she was the only one at home.

Song Chen took the opportunity to enter the room and took out 200 taels of silver from the space, walked outside and handed it to Zhuang Bosong.

"Here are 200 taels of silver. Take it first. If it's not enough, tell me."

Zhuang Bosong was shocked when he saw Song Chen putting 200 taels of silver in front of him, "Miss Song, aren't you afraid that I will run away with this silver?"

"Do you dare?" Song Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Even if you dare, you won't be willing to give up. You have seen my drawings, but if you really want to do it, you still need me to do it bit by bit. explanation."

Zhuang Bosong laughed, "Miss Song is really an open-minded person."

Not only did he have extraordinary knowledge at a young age, but he also had extraordinary courage. Zhuang Bosong felt that Song Chen had a promising future.

Is this the reason why his master has such a good relationship with Song Chen?
After the ground line was drawn, Song Chen asked Song Dashan to go to the village to find workers that night. Song Dashan knew most of the people in the village very well, and knew who was capable of doing things and who liked to cheat. , and soon he found all the people, all of whom had helped him go up the mountain to find Song Chen before.

The salary is twenty cents a day, including a meal.

When talking about this small salary earlier, Zhuang Bosong thought that fifteen cents was enough, but Song Chen thought that since he was from a village, he must be doing his best to help her, and it would not matter if he paid a few more cents. .

Anyway, what she lacks now is not the extra wages.
