Straight man of steel

Chapter 29 Utopia (recommendation ticket requested)

Although I told Zhuo Wenjun that I moved out of Zhuo Mansion the next day after the iron pot went on sale, it took a few days to find a satisfactory place to live.Zhuo Wangsun helped to choose the new house, but Zhang Yuan paid for it.

Looking at the land deed in his hand and his empty package, Zhang Yuan was still extremely excited.

This should be regarded as his first home after coming to Dahan.

"Go to Xiaoqing, let's go in and have a look."

Zhang Yuan's monthly salary for two months was only 20 taels. Although he spent a little more than the market price, the furniture and supplies were all complete.

The most important thing is cleanliness, even in the Zhuo Mansion there are often servants who defecate indiscriminately.

This house is big enough for twenty people to live there, but it seems a bit empty now that only Zhang Yuan and Xiao Qing are here.

Recruiting manpower has become the most important issue Zhang Yuan needs to consider at the moment.

A cook, a blacksmith, a carpenter, and a few handymen who can smelt metal.Zhang Yuan intends to ask Zhuo Wangsun to help, but he has to go to the workshop to pick them out. He doesn't want to change to a new residence and still be under the supervision of Zhuo's father and daughter.

The usual expenses of food and clothing can no longer be taken from Zhuo's mansion, all these need money, and the lying water row must be manufactured as soon as possible, and exchanged with Zhuo Wangsun for money.

He gave Xiaoqing five taels of silver and asked her to buy the food and clothing she needed at home, while Zhang Yuan returned to Zhuo Mansion alone to meet Zhuo Wangsun.

Back in the mansion, Zhang Yuan heard that Zhuo Wangsun transported [-] iron pots to Chang'an Sanfu, all of which were sold out within a day, which is even more exaggerated than Linqiong.

It is said that Wei Xin and Xiang Jing brought the chef from Zhuojia Restaurant to cook some stir-fried vegetables for the Queen Mother Dou on her birthday. After the Queen Mother Dou ate it, her appetite was wide open, and the grief over the death of Liang Wang Liu Wu dissipated a little.

This made Zhuo's iron pot famous and spread at the feet of the emperor.

This matter was facilitated by Zhang Yuan, but in the end he became the one who benefited the least among the three parties.Or his own strength is too weak to afford too high a return.

It is a certainty that the Zhuo family will be included in the history books. No wonder Zhang Yuan always smiled when he saw Zhuo Wangsun in the past few days.

The creases on the face are crowded together, which is really ugly.

"Patriarch, seeing your radiant appearance in recent days, it should be that a lot of good things have happened."

"Haha, you, Ayuan, have contributed a lot to this. Come sit down and talk."

Zhang Yuan sat directly beside Zhuo Wangsun and talked about his needs.

"Patriarch, the villain has moved out now, and the mansion is still short of manpower. You think the villain wants people for the Zhuo family, don't you?"

Zhuo Wangsun put away the smile on his face, picked up a black chess piece and put it on a corner of the chessboard.

"You want to ask someone to go from the old man."

Zhang Yuan nodded.

"That's what I mean, villain."

"It's not an important matter. Tell you who you want. Tomorrow, the old man will let those people go to your house."

"The villain wants to choose by himself. This time, you have to be careful. If some of the people you choose fail to meet the requirements, it will be a waste of energy to change people back and forth."

Zhang Yuan doesn't want to be under the surveillance of Zhuo Wangsun anymore, it's not a good thing to expose his every move to the eyes of others, if he doesn't pay attention to give Zhuo Wangsun a handle in the future, he will be controlled by the Zhuo family again.

"You have a lot of thought at such a young age, and it's good that you can choose your own manpower and use it with ease. The old man agrees with this matter. You can go to the workshop to pick people."

Zhuo Wangsun didn't embarrass himself, and Zhang Yuan felt much relieved, bowed to Zhuo Wangsun, and retreated from the study.

It’s easy to choose people. Zhang Yuan also got along with some people before and got some feelings. After he went, he called all the people he knew. Pulled on, and returned to their home together.

These people are basically slaves of the Zhuo family. Zhang Yuan drew up a list of them and asked Xiaoqing, who had already bought all the things, to send the list back to the Zhuo Mansion to Zhuo Wangsun, and send all the documents of these people's liberation. To get it.

The originally empty house suddenly became popular.

There is a creek beside the house. As the weather gradually warms and the snow melts, the water flow in the creek changes from gentle to turbulent. This kind of water potential is just used to test the effect of the horizontal wheel drainage.

On the first day everyone came, Zhang Yuan did not arrange these people to work, but began to calculate where to build the iron-making furnace and where to get the blacksmith's table in the yard.

It is very secluded here, so you don't have to worry about disturbing other people's lives. There is a green bar forest in front of the door. It has to be said that the green bar trees that can be seen everywhere in Linqiong are the fundamental reason for the development of the smelting industry here.

When it was getting dark, Xiao Qing also came back from the Zhuo Mansion, and took a package in his hand, which was probably the Xie Liang document of these ten craftsmen.

I haven't eaten all day today. The chef who came from the restaurant immediately started processing the ingredients and preparing to cook after Zhang Yuan's instructions.

Xiaoqing followed to fight, washing rice and so on.

Others also consciously cleaned the snow in the yard and tidied up the furnishings in the house.

Although everything doesn't look very orderly, but it's not as cold as Zhuo Mansion.

Zhang Yuan still has 15 taels of silver in his pocket, which is enough to get a monthly salary from this month to the next month, so he didn't think about deducting the food of the people below, so that they can eat meat. This is what Zhang Yuan is doing now. Try to do it.

This group of people had to see hope before they could work hard for Zhang Yuan.

Sure enough, when these people saw the meat on the table, their eyes really lit up.

Xiaoqing and Zhang Yuan share a table, and the other craftsmen share a table, but because the house is not very big, the vacant rooms are all wing rooms.

After eating, everyone was waiting for Zhang Yuan to speak.

Zhang Yuan put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating, cleared his throat and began to preach.

"Everyone, you have left the Zhuo Mansion right now, and all your Jieliang documents are with me.

In the future, you will have to work hard for me, Zhang Yuan. As long as you treat me sincerely and don't bully my youth, I will not treat you badly.

In the future, each person will receive a monthly salary of one or two taels of silver. This money belongs to you, and I will not interfere. If you want to marry a wife and have children, you have to rely on yourself. In the future, the number of people in the mansion will increase. The surrounding land will also be bought for you to live in. "

As Zhang Yuan talked, he was thinking about turning the surrounding area into a huge manor, a utopia of his own.
