Wei and Jin cooks

Because of the new goods, the front of the simple Zhenbao Pavilion was very lively, and workers who heard the news kept coming with money.

Now they are not short of food. They work here and have food every day. The wages they earn can also buy food.

Therefore, everyone has a certain amount of food.

There is a shortage of cloth, ready-made clothes, shoes and socks, especially in winter. Everyone's clothes are leaky and shoes are still straw sandals, let alone socks and other items.

When they have money, they want to buy something for themselves, at least to keep them warm and make their lives easier.

Zhao Hanzhang had thought of this a long time ago, and since the end of the war, he had ordered the stable counties of Runan County to start producing various supplies in large quantities.

In Zhangjia Village, Shangcai County, Runan County, Zhang Dayan and Bao Sanzhu pushed a trolley into the village. Immediately, sharp-eyed villagers saw it and rushed out to ask, "Dayan, have we got our money back?"

"Take it, take it, and come to my house later to get the money."

"It's not urgent, it's not urgent," the other party said not in a hurry, but he smiled widely and stared at the things on the cart. "Da Yan, is this fabric? Is there still work? You You have to leave some more pieces of cloth for us, my mother-in-law is very good at craftsmanship..."

Zhang Dayan said: "That won't work. The county government official didn't choose the clothes made by your mother-in-law. He said the stitching was not thin enough, but the shoes were quite good. I received two hundred pairs of shoes this time and gave twenty to my sister-in-law. A double amount.”

"How long will twenty pairs be enough for her to make? Give her fifty pairs. She took my daughter to make them, and they were made quickly."

"That won't work," Zhang Dayan refused while pushing the trolley home. "Everyone receives a certain amount, and the management requirements are very strict. Dahua's shoemaking skills are not as good as those of her sister-in-law. She If you don’t charge me for being a steward, you’ll have to pay me the material fee later.”

The other party immediately stopped talking.

Zhang Dayan followed: "Making shoes is still not as good as making clothes. I heard from the county government official that tailors and embroiderers with good craftsmanship can enter the embroidery workshop, and the clothes will be made of silk and satin. A set of You can earn at least fifty cash."

Zhang Cong was speechless, "How can you make so much money?"

"No," Zhang Dayan said: "So Brother Cong, don't stick to Da Hua. I've seen it. There are so many girls in our village, but Da Hua is pretty good at craftsmanship. If you send her to an embroidery workshop to learn, you may not know. You can learn it.”

"It's a bit of a loss to let her keep shoe soles at home. Now there are many homeless people outside, which makes you kind-hearted, so we asked us to do shoe relief. But after this wave, how many people will go out to buy shoes?" Zhang Dayan said : "But it's different when you enter the embroidery workshop. Not only do you have to learn how to cut clothes and embroider, but I heard you also learn to spin and weave. If you can learn anything here, you will be of endless use in the future."

Zhang Cong was still thinking, but Zhang Dayan had already pushed the cart back to his yard.

He didn't even need to go out to notify them. The children he saw had already filled the village with publicity that Zhang Dayan and Bao Sanzhu had returned from the county town.

The people in the village immediately started to move, and everyone came to Zhang Dayan's house to collect money.

This is the wages their family earns from weaving cloth, making clothes, collecting shoes and making socks for the county government.

At the beginning, the county government required each family to report what they were good at, such as weaving, spinning, tailoring, collecting shoe soles, and making socks. Each family had to submit a sample.

They did it fearfully, not daring to do it wrong, and spent a lot of effort before they could do it well.

Not long after the things were handed over, people from the county government came and selected a number of families and asked them to make what they were good at. There were about ten families who were not selected because their craftsmanship was poor.

Needless to say, those ten or so households were very proud and happy at that time.

The selected family, as if they were mourning for their heirs, carefully received the things handed out by the county government, followed the instructions and handed them in truthfully, and then they received the first payment of wages.

The situation immediately reversed. The dozen or so households who were not selected immediately looked unhappy. This time they came over again, surrounded Zhang Dayan and said, "Dayan, have you spoken to the manager for us?"

"I told you," Zhang Dayan untied the rope on the trolley and said, "but the steward didn't agree, saying that your craftsmanship is too poor."

They look bad.

Zhang Dayan said: "If you really want to make money, you don't have to work here. I heard from the manager that the county government wants to transport a batch of wood and bricks out and there is a lack of manpower. If you really want to make money, go ahead."

"Send it to where?"

"Go to Liang Kingdom."

"Where is Liang Guo?"

Zhang Dayan: "Who knows? Anyway, it is within Yuzhou. I heard that Chen County is in Liang State, and the emperor is in Chen County."

"How long does it take to go back and forth?"

"If you want to transport goods, you can walk there and back, which will take about ten days," Zhang Dayan said, "Everyone will take care of the food and drink on the way. We only bring the goods to the place and then come back. I heard that you can get a hundred coins for one trip."

After saying this, the young adults in the village became excited and said eagerly: "Dayan, why don't you take us to the county seat?"

"Okay, we can leave tomorrow. Come on, let's start driving. I'll pay my aunt and sisters-in-law first."

The women who had been squeezed in the back immediately pushed aside the men and stepped forward. These were all their wages!

Some little girls also crowded up to see it, and they also had their share in it.

Zhang Dayan divided the wages, opened the book again, and wrote in symbols that only he could understand, "It's still the same old rules. Those who spin the thread, those who weave the cloth, and those who make the clothes make the clothes, must not mess up."

He added: "No one is allowed to transfer the work to others after receiving it. When these things are sent to the county, the stewards will check them one by one. If the workmanship is not up to standard, just return them directly. Not only will you not get the wages, but you will also have to pay for the materials. ."

The women agreed in unison, and then happily received the materials and went home. The men followed closely behind, and were sent away by the women. "Why are you hanging around? Go back and cook quickly. We have to take advantage of the sun." Do more work while it’s still bright, otherwise we won’t be able to start work once it gets dark.”

The man who was ordered was not angry. He responded and got into the kitchen to work. He also called his son and said, "Hurry up and light the fire. Don't you see that your mother and sisters are busy?"

In the Zhao family's manor in Shangcai County, Runan County, the busiest people are a group of men.

They took out the bricks from the brick kiln and put them aside. After a while, someone came to check. After checking that there were no problems, they started watering.

A lot of bricks had been piled up in the open space next to it. Someone was pushing a cart. Someone immediately loaded the cart with bricks, piled up a cart, tied it with a rope and pushed it aside.

There were also people driving ox carts, mule carts and donkey carts. After loading, they were all piled aside to form a caravan and set off the next day.

Hu Zhi walked over quickly and shouted: "Faster, faster, there are many caravans behind us waiting to load the cars. It's almost dark, and it will delay our departure tomorrow. I want you to look good!"

Everyone subconsciously speeded up.

See you tomorrow
