Eternal traitor

The so-called craftsmen are a group of people in charge of construction in the palace. When there is no work, they can take on some work outside the palace, but the cost is not low.The craftsman official is a small official, of no importance at all.For a small nobleman like Li Hua, he couldn't afford to offend, let alone the other two craftsmen.

"The three of you have been waiting for a long time. Meihua apologizes to the three of you for labor costs of ten taels of silver."

Li Hua returned a salute with a smile, and then ordered De Meihua to give each of the three a red envelope of ten taels of silver.Without starting work, where did the "labor cost" come from? The money went directly into private pockets.

"The little man dare not."

The three of them knelt down after speaking in unison. It was the first time they saw Li Hua, but they didn't know what kind of tricks this young man was going to play, and they were all terrified.In the past, they worked for these aristocratic gentlemen, not to mention the red envelopes, as long as they can get [-]% of their wages, it is the grace of the gentlemen, and if they can get the full payment, they will have to burn their incense.As for rejection?They would like to, but dare not.

"What? Do you want me to ask you to accept it?"

Li Hua sat down unceremoniously, looked at the three people who were kneeling on the ground and dared not collect money, and said with a stern face, there was a trace of anger in his tone.

"This????? Thank you for your reward."

The craftsman Hou Yu looked at Li Hua, hesitated for a moment, and then took De Meihua's money.He knows the temper of these noble gentlemen, if you don't give him face, then you will die.

The other two craftsmen watched Hou Yu collect the money, and they also collected it one after another.And buckled his head and shouted, "Thank you for the reward, sir."

Chapter 26 Decoration

"This is the drawing I drew, you all have a look, can it be built?"

Li Hua took out the result map of his night battle with lights last night. Three buildings with different styles were drawn on three wooden boards. They are completely modern-style buildings, which are completely different from today's Qin Dynasty buildings.Li Hua is also self-aware of his painters. He doesn't paint well, but he can express the general meaning.

After seeing Li Hua's plan, the three master craftsmen looked confused, completely clueless.They have never built such a building before. After it is completed, the structure and force of his house do not know whether it will work. As for how long he can live in, he is not sure. But felony.

"To tell the truth to Shopkeeper Li, this deconstruction can be built, but it can be built, but the service life of this house, the condition of bearing heavy loads, and this????????"

From a professional point of view, Hou Yu, the leader of the three, explained to Li Hua the hidden dangers of building a house according to his drawings, and told Li Hua all the interests.

"As long as it can be built, the three of you will do it together. How long will it take?? How much will it cost??"

These three people don't know the service life, but Li Hua knows that there are so many modern houses, each with a service life of about 100 years, as long as they don't cut corners, the service life will only be longer.

"My lord, according to your drawing, the two restaurants will be demolished, and only one can be rebuilt. You indicated that the green bricks fired in the official kiln are used, so the cost will be higher. Gu Xiaoren's preliminary estimate , probably nearly 6000 taels of silver will be crossed out."

6000 taels of silver is not a small amount, but the blue bricks fired in official kilns are more expensive than those in private kilns, but the quality is guaranteed, and shoddy ones are subject to imprisonment.

"You first build the house that only needs to be modified, and then start working on the other two houses. How long will it take you to complete this modification?"

Li Hua already had a calculation in his heart. He spent a lot of money on buying two buildings yesterday, and adding in his purchases yesterday, he couldn't give 6000 taels at all.

"Returning to the adults, with the strength of the three of us, it only takes ten days to complete."

Hou Yu gave the safest date. In fact, in her heart, 7 days is enough to keep it safe, but she still asked for an extra three days in case of emergency.

"plum bossom."

"exist."

"Give them a deposit of 2000 taels of silver and let them start working."

"Yes."

De Meihua hurriedly sent someone to the warehouse to get the silver and delivered it to Hou Yu.Although the three of them were not in the same group, it was an attitude to give such money to Hou Yu.Hou Yu is a craftsman in the palace, and the money owed to him is equivalent to the money owed to King Qin, which is different from ordinary craftsmen.What Li Hua did was to reassure the three of them, and subconsciously told them that he would not default on wages.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Li, but after repairing a house with 2000 taels of silver and buying some raw materials, there is not much left, so please prepare the next silver when the time comes."

Hou Yu didn't dare to lift his head when he was talking. Although these elders might look rich, it would be very difficult to get money from them.If you ask for money, you may be beaten, but it is difficult to explain Baigan's work inside and out.Therefore, the little guy Hou Yu is also very helpless, he can only do it first, and tell Li Hua that if the money in the future is not in place, the work will stop after spending the 2000 taels.

"Understood, you go down."

Li Hua waved his hand indifferently to make the three of them retreat. He looked calm and confident, as if he had ten thousand taels of gold behind him.

"Shopkeeper, we don't have that much silver for the 6000 taels."

After seeing the three of them leave, De Meihua said to Li Hua with a heavy heart, that 2000 taels is already the final deposit, and there is still a loophole of 4000 taels of silver, how can this be made up for.

"I see, you don't need to ask Gu Huaye, I will find a way to solve the money matter." Li Hua stood up and looked at Gu Shiba who was on the side and asked: "The matter that was entrusted to you yesterday has been done. ?"

"My lord, I have done as you ordered."

Last night, according to Li Hua's instructions, Gu Huaye delivered an item to a blacksmith under Gu Huaye, and told the blacksmith that if he could make the item within three days, he would be rewarded with 50 taels of silver.As for what Li Hua asked him to send, he didn't know, it was wrapped in a package, and he didn't dare to look at it.When I came back, it was almost midnight.

"How much silver do we have here??"

Li Hua looked at De Meihua at the side. Although he knew that there was not much money left, he really didn't know how much money was left.

"Go back to the shopkeeper, there are still 984 taels of silver."

De Meihua replied calmly, but she was very helpless in her heart. More than 7000 taels of silver, 6000 taels were spent in two days, and there was a hole of more than 4000 taels of silver. My shopkeeper was too good at spending money.

"Enough is enough. Let's go to the blacksmith shop. De Meihua, you don't need to go. Tell my sisters, let her eat without waiting for me, go to bed early at night, and take her to play when she finishes her studies tomorrow."

After Li Hua finished talking, he took Gu Shiba and left in a big stride. A penny is not a hero, let alone Li Hua now has nearly 4000 taels to fill.

"Yes."

De Meihua responded, with a lot of emotion in her heart. Although she didn't have to laugh with her in the Wind and Rain Building these days, she was too busy to relax at all.I don't know if it's good or bad for me to follow Li Hua.

Weapons are a sensitive issue for every country, from ancient times to the present.Although the state of Qin is not very strict in this regard, it will never allow a foreigner without foundation to establish a blacksmith shop.Therefore, most of the blacksmith shops in Qin State are official, and the few private ones are patrolled by soldiers.There are strict regulations on the number of weapons and items built every day.

The Gu family's blacksmith shop is a small iron shop in front of the government office, and the daily iron blocks are strictly controlled for easy care. In addition, it is the Gu family's property and the government office is opposite, so there are not so many things to do.

After another half an hour's journey by carriage, Li Hua came to this place called "Gu's Blacksmith Shop". The name was nothing new, but it was simple, rude, and straightforward.It is also this strong background that prevents this blacksmith from being harassed a lot.

The blacksmith's shop is only more than 60 square meters, with only one counter at the door, and the entrance is very small.Only two people can enter each pass. The red iron stove emits scorching fire in the courtyard, and the surrounding buildings are wrapped in mud, which has the effect of fire prevention.

Chapter 27 Spring

The young people in the blacksmith's shop kept wielding hammers, and the red iron was constantly beaten rhythmically, folded and knocked again, and only after refining again and again could it become a qualified ironware.

There were only the master and apprentice in this blacksmith shop. After realizing that Ren Ren was approaching, the young man raised his head and whispered to the man beside him. "Father, Shopkeeper Li is here."

"Don't be distracted, continue to strike iron."

The strong man who spoke is the blacksmith here. He is in his 30s and has strong muscles. A long scar on his face looks a little scary. Just standing there, he looks like a mountain. feeling of terror.

The man came to the counter in three or two steps, looked at Li Hua with a pair of deep eyes, and then took out something from a pile of ironware under the counter and threw it in front of Li Hua.The thick arm can even see the rough hair and the uninterrupted dripping sweat. The strong heat makes even this experienced blacksmith feel a little uncomfortable.

"What you want."

The man said something coldly, except for a hint of impatience in his tone, he didn't hear any emotion.It is completely another extreme from other servants who are afraid of Li Hua when they see Li Hua.

"What kind of attitude do you have? This is the shopkeeper Li of the Gu family, believe me or not????????"

Li Hua started to observe the forging of ironware, while Gu Shiba was a little displeased. Is your attitude a servant should have? ?It simply doesn't give us the face of the shopkeeper.
