Chapter 215 Find work by yourself
Youzhi County was very satisfied with this visit to Chuqing, even though he didn't get a single banknote and didn't get a single acre of experimental field.
However, Chu Qing provided services including carpentry, sewing, weaving, cooking, etc., and also drafted a preliminary contract.
Chu Qing did this because he had little money. He could afford hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but it was a drop in the bucket for a poor county.
Teaching a mermaid is still about fishing, Chu Qing didn't think too much about it. What she needed was labor, a lot of labor.
When she went to Beijing to report on her duties, Hu Hengqiu gave her reassurance: 20% of Chu Qing's total revenue went to the emperor, and half went to the Secret Investigation Department.
In other words, Chu Qing is now serving as the emperor's shopkeeper, not a sheep to be slaughtered.
In this case, Chu Qing has to let go. Being timid now is really a waste of resources. Salt and iron, let's go ahead! Our boss is the emperor, what should we be afraid of!
If there are not enough workers, wouldn’t it be necessary to develop the power of a county to work for itself?
There is another reason for not giving the bank check directly to Youzhi County: distrust.
Although Youzhi County has a good reputation, Chu Qing is not familiar with him.
If you directly invest money in their county, even if you know that the county does not exploit them, who can guarantee the county magistrate? What about the chief bookkeeper? What about the history books and inspections?
You Zhixian studied the contract on the carriage. These contents only briefly summarized the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, and the specific details have yet to be studied.
But You Zhenghang has always been in a state of confusion.
Chu Dong is actually able to take the initiative to use money on her own!
Chu Dong actually has his own industry!
Chu Dong actually wrote a travel diary!
Chu Dong didn't even have a servant, but he saw his escort team!
Also, my father actually begged Chu Dong’s mother to guide him in government affairs!
What about my self-confidence? What about my self-confidence in being well-read? In the eyes of others, it’s nothing but shit!
The person I hate the most is stronger than me, how can I tolerate this!
Xiaobao and Chu Qing looked at You Zhenghang's notes and admired them in admiration: What a top student! Look at what he wrote in this note. He not only copied down the teacher's explanations, but also included short paragraphs of personal expressions.
Chu Qing asked Xiaobao: "School is about to start, what are your plans for this year? Should you follow me everywhere or stay in school?"
Xiaobao: "Stay in school for the first half of the year. Let's talk about the second half of the year!"
Chu Qing: "Can you calm down and read now?"
Xiaobao: "You won't get far in the first half of the year anyway."
Really, you have to determine the location of the cotton fields in the first half of the year and then watch the planting.
While the two mothers were talking, Chu Yuan came in and told them: Someone is coming from the palace.
When I went out, I saw that the Queen Mother had sent twenty maids here.
"Master Chu," a middle-aged eunuch saluted, and then said: "These are the maids selected by the Queen Mother and the Empress together. Considering that you are busy with official duties, they have chosen those who work quickly and have flexible brains, so that you can use them with confidence.
"
After that, he also introduced them one by one, what this person is good at and what that person is proficient in.
These are all palace maids between the ages of twenty-five and thirty. They are dressed in civilian clothes. They all look energetic and neat.
This eunuch was from the Queen Mother's Palace. Chu Qing gave him a big red envelope and brought some special products as a reward.
Chu Qing should have been given a lecture, but Xiaobao knew that his mother was not good at this, so he took these women to the backyard; "Find your own work, familiarize yourself with the housework, assign tasks yourself, and then report to me."
"Then... Young Master!" A palace maid who looked like the oldest saluted and asked, "The slaves still don't know the rules of the house..."
Xiaobao waved his hand to interrupt her: "My mother wants help, you don't have to call yourself slaves, mother won't get used to it, as for the rules, loyalty is the rule!
I give you five days, you can do nothing, observe my family's lifestyle, and find something to do that you are good at.
Whenever my mother takes me to eat with you, you will be considered qualified, and my mother will give you names at that time.
Except for my mother, all the men in our family are men, so you have to decide what is right for you."
After saying that, Xiaobao turned around and left.
All the palace maids were left looking at each other in confusion: Is this the end? Doesn’t saying it mean that you didn’t say it?
Where do we live? How much money do we get? After we leave the palace, we are still "good family members". Do we need to sign a deed of sale to enter the house?
A lot of questions are jumping around in my mind, who can tell us?
Zhuoyao followed Xiaobao into the bedroom, and while helping Xiaobao find clothes to change into for bathing, he asked: "Is this okay?"
Xiaobao pulled off his shirt haphazardly: "What's wrong? My mother didn't care about you when you first came here?"
Zhuo Yao thought about it. Chu Qing really didn't see them much when they first arrived, but... "But at that time, Bai Jiaxing and Chu Yuan assigned us tasks."
After hearing this, Xiaobao thought for a while: "Oh, by the way, you came later than Chu Yuan and Bai Jiaxing. When they first came, my mother took the Baolu Group and left. At that time, the Baolu Group was just one
A wasteland with nothing!”
Zhuo Yao felt that he should talk to Chu Yuan. It seemed that his group was still "young".
"Xiaobao, I think the boss should meet them anyway, and then pick a few that are pleasing to the eye and put them in the room to help with hair washing, dressing and so on." Zhuo Yao still suggested.
Xiaobao pulled down the band that tied his hair and it hurt him, and he grinned. Zhuo Yao easily helped him untie the tangled hair and hair band.
Xiaobao said: "Ah, yes, do you still remember the first time I saw you?"
Zhuo Yao couldn't help but smile when he thought of the way that little boy's crisp and tender voice taught him to say, "There should be two hundred people, but there are two hundred people."
"At that time, the dust brought up by your running couldn't be eliminated for a long time. When I was talking, you just slapped the dust away in front of my face," Xiaobao said. "It's the same as now, when I get my hair, you just help me."
Untie the belt.
My mother and I are the same, what we want is this kind of natural mutual care. If they can't do it..." Xiaobao looked out the window, where two older palace ladies were saying something to other palace ladies.
"My mother and I won't drive them away, but they will only have to do menial work and chores." Xiaobao finally said.
Zhuo Yao thought about it and realized that it was true that Chu Qing now occasionally asked Gan to help, but he had ignored her for a long time before.
But that Gan Lai is similar to Chu Qing. It's good if he can take care of himself. It's really not enough to let her help!
The person who ran faster than Cao Cao was Gan Lai.
As soon as I thought of Gan Lai, without saying a word, Gan Lai came in: "Xiaobao, your mother called you!"
