After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 535 Getting Better

Qin Xiaomi nodded: "I have been busy making new wedding candles recently, so I really need to go to the new workshop yard to take a look."

She stood up and gave Qin Xiaomai and Qin Xiaogu a penny each: "Take it, you two can also experience the joy of hiding our private money."

Qin Xiaomai's eyes lit up, but he didn't take it. Instead, he went to see Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin... Sister Xiaomi had already given them enough, he couldn't take any more money.

Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Your sister Xiaomi gave it to you, so take it."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaomi." Qin Xiaomai smiled widely, took the silver coin, held it in her hand like a treasure, and excitedly hid the private money from her family.

At lunch the next day, Qin Xiaomi put two stinky buns in her pocket and went to the new workshop site at the west entrance of the village to see the yard under construction.

The smell came before the people arrived. The great craftsman Liu was startled and hurriedly led the craftsmen to move the dining table. They moved it more than ten meters away.

Qin Xiaomi smiled and greeted from a distance: "Master Liu, you are eating. Take your time, we will take a look first!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys take a look first, and come to me if you have any questions!" Craftsman Liu prayed to God and his ancestors in his heart, hoping that it would be best if he just finished looking and left, and there was nothing to change. Otherwise, if the girl from the Qin family came over and explained the changes to him in detail, his lunch would be in vain!

Grandpa Qin gave her a glare and whispered, "Just take one pack, if you take two packs, how are you going to let people eat?"

Qin Xiaomi: "Grandpa, according to the rule that the smell is strong in hot weather, two packs are appropriate."

The explanation was so reasonable that Grandpa Qin choked.

Jiang Dalang smiled and took a bowl of basil pickled eggs to Master Liu, saying, "Master Liu, it's hot and hard to work. Eat some basil pickled eggs. They will stimulate your appetite and nourish your body."

"The Qin family is so thoughtful." Craftsman Liu felt very pleased. The Qin family treated their workers very well. In the past month, they had added eight dishes to their meals, and the worst one was the green bean sweet soup that was good for cooling off.

The basil pickled eggs I gave you today are also served individually, which is very generous. They won’t be cut into pieces for you.

Master Liu said a few words to Jiang Dalang before calling out to the craftsmen, "The owner has added eggs. One whole egg per person. Come and get them!"

The craftsmen were very happy. They first said "Thank you, Qin family" before coming over with their bowls to get the eggs.

Jiang Dalang turned back and accompanied Qin Xiaomi to look after the yard.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held on May 26th. With many people working together and quick hands, the work started quickly and the walls were almost completed in just over a month.

In order to prevent fire, the walls are all made of blue bricks and the windows are large and tall, which is relatively safe.

Because of the need to clear snow and keep warm, houses in Northeastern states are generally shorter than those in the south. The walls are all less than three meters high and the roof height is also relatively low.

But the room was big enough and Qin Xiaomi was very satisfied.

However, there is still room for improvement.

Qin Xiaomi and the others waited until Master Liu finished his lunch before going to talk to him.

Master Liu: “…”

Ahhh, don’t come over here, my lunch will be wasted!

But he was the only master craftsman who came today, so he had no choice but to go ahead.

Fortunately, there was only one thing Qin Xiaomi needed to change: "Dig a cellar three meters away from the wall."

This yard will be used to make pine oil products, and the cellar will be used to store pine oil, so Qin Xiaomi mentioned a few more key points about fire prevention.

After hearing this, Master Craftsman Liu thought about it and nodded his head to promise: "It's not a difficult job, I will definitely do it for you."

After saying that, he raised his hand and smelled the medicine bag.

Qin Xiaomi noticed it, held back her laughter, and after telling a few more details, she left tactfully.

Huhuhuhu, Master Craftsman Liu seemed to have come back to life from drowning and almost cried for joy. He looked at Grandpa Qin and Jiang Dalang with more sympathy in his eyes.

The girl from the Qin family can make money, but the smell on her body is really terrible.

Grandpa Qin met the gaze of Master Craftsman Liu and felt a little guilty. After responding for a few words, he hurriedly left with Jiang Dalang.

……

The third day of July is the day for raising the beam of the new workshop yard.

Early in the morning, Qin Xiaomi was woken up again to prepare for the worship, and this time the offerings included a jar of tung oil and a jar of lacquer.

It’s very expensive, one jar costs three taels of silver.

This is not a top-quality product. It still follows the style of Gongda craftsman and is priced cheaply, otherwise it would be more expensive.

Everyone hates that they are expensive, but they can prevent corrosion, moisture and insects. Even though they are expensive, every household has to use them when putting up beams.

Qin Xiaomi stared at them, envious... How could such a lucrative paint business fall into the hands of a wealthy family? Couldn't it have fallen into my hands?

However, she was just envious. She knew very well that with her current power, if she touched the paint business, she would be doomed!

After the worship, the beams are hoisted onto the roof.

The house was not high and the craftsmen were experienced, so they quickly erected the beams.

The raising of the beam is related to the overall stability of the house, so today it is the craftsman Gong who is here.

He also went up to the roof himself to check on the work of the craftsmen in laying the beams.

After more than a quarter of an hour, he came down and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, this beam is very good. Congratulations to your family."

Grandpa Qin thanked him again.

Grandma Qin was distributing cakes to people.

After preparing a feast to entertain the craftsmen, the beam-raising was completed.

The day of raising the beam for the Qin family was indeed a good day. In the afternoon, Silifang received great news from the county government.

"From this year on, girls under the age of eighteen will not have to pay the fine for not getting married; girls who are eighteen and unmarried will only have to pay one or two taels of silver."

"The local government must return the fines collected this year to the girl. Failure to do so will be punishable by death and the local county magistrate will execute the person immediately!"

"This grace is what Your Majesty the Empress Yuan requested for all the women in the world. All the women in the world need to thank the Empress for her grace!"

Emperor Wuxing attributed the credit to the late empress, and took the opportunity to announce to the world that the Wei Dynasty had already appointed a queen, who was his original wife, Yan.

The clerk personally read the document on the notice board at the entrance of the town.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked and overjoyed. They asked in disbelief, "Guan Shuli, is this true? From now on, all girls under the age of 18 will not have to pay fines?"

The clerk nodded and said loudly, "That's right. From this year on, every year after that, girls under the age of eighteen will not have to pay fines. Girls over eighteen will only have to pay one or two taels of silver! I hope the villagers will spread the word!"

He bowed towards the capital and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Queen, for your kindness!"

The villagers were not as serious as him. They cheered and ran away, shouting: "No need to pay the fine for being unmarried, no one under the age of 18 needs to pay the fine for being unmarried!!"

The villagers were ecstatic, and the families with many daughters were so happy that they cried: "Great, great, we don't have to hastily marry our daughters off to men with poor health and bad character just to pay the fine!"

Many girls could have married into better families, but because they could not raise enough money to pay the fine for not marrying, they had to marry them off in a hurry.

And because of the rush, even if they knew that the family that came to propose marriage had many faults, they could only pretend not to see it.

The entire Wei Dynasty, every family was delighted by this news.

Guan Shuli was even more delighted and drank wine during dinner.

Old Madam Guan drank even more than he did.

Nanny Chen hurriedly advised: "Old Madam, Master, you have already drunk five cups, don't drink anymore, drinking too much is harmful to your health."
