Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

At dusk, Su Chen returned to the manor.

Su Chen and the other two chatted awkwardly in the carriage. He didn't expect Princess Changle to come to the manor with him today.

And he would not return to the palace, but live in the manor in the future.

"Zhang Long, how many tools are made by the Ministry of Works? Have they been delivered to the manor?"

Su Chen happened to meet Zhang Long and remembered the tools he asked the Ministry of Works to process yesterday.

"My Lord, the Ministry of Works did not send anyone to deliver the tools."

Su Chen frowned. This shouldn't be the case! It was specifically stated that there was no limit on the number, that is, as many as could be made would be sent first.

Why didn't they deliver it? "Okay, I know." It was not clear what the reason was. It was too late today and there was no way to send someone to ask.

Don't think about the tools anymore. It's still in time to deliver them tomorrow.

Su Chen smiled at Changle and Jin'er and asked:

"Lizhi, I'm going to see how the pigpen is built now. Do you want to go with me?"

"Miss, Jin'er will take someone to clean up the room." Jin'er said and left with six palace maids.

Changle nodded slightly, "Well, I'll go with you."

"Okay, let's go, let's go find that kid Li You!" The two left the manor side by side.

"Lizhi, are there any palace maids you brought this time who are suitable to be housekeepers?"

Su Chen went to the palace today and forgot to mention the housekeeper.

"Housekeeper? Your manor has never had a housekeeper?" Changle asked in confusion.

Su Chen thought about it and said that there was no housekeeper, which was not right. Zhang Ren and the other four were like housekeepers.

Su Chen arranged them to do anything.

"I haven't arranged anyone to be in charge of housekeeping affairs. I always go to Zhang Long and others when I have something to do. I have a lot of money in the manor now, so I need an experienced person to be the housekeeper."

Changle nodded, thought about it, looked at Su Chen mysteriously, and said with a smile: "Can I introduce a housekeeper to Mr. Su?"

Su Chen looked at Changle's smile and felt that it was a bit unreliable, so he asked tentatively: "Who?"

"Jin'er!"

Su Chen expressed some doubt, "Can Jin'er read?"

Hearing this, Changle was unhappy and punched Su Chen:

"Jin'er has been following me since she was five years old. She went to the Imperial Academy with me to study for two or three years. She has learned all the lowercase numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division that you taught her, and she is no worse than me."

Su Chen was satisfied when he heard it. Although Jin'er is young and looks a bit unstable.

But she is very careful in arranging her things. She can read and calculate, so she is more than enough to be a housekeeper.

"Okay, okay, from now on, Jin'er will be the housekeeper of the manor, in charge of all financial affairs."

"By the way, Lizhi, what's Jin'er's name?"

Su Chen still doesn't know what Jin'er's full name is? He just follows them and calls her Jin'er.

Changle looked a little serious, as if he was recalling something.

"When Jin'er was about three years old, my mother was still the Princess of Qin and picked her up from outside. No one knows what Jin'er's name is. Jin'er's name was given by my mother."

Su Chen nodded, which was similar to his own situation. He just had an extra name and a thatched cottage.

That's not right. Su Chen got this name only after he traveled through time. Before that, the villagers called his predecessor "Little Boy", and after he was ten years old, they called him Little Young Master.

...

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, I saw three rows of newly built "houses", which should be the pigpen.

The whole pig farm looked like an unsealed mouth, with a large warehouse in the middle.

"Su Chen, why can't I see the workers? Is it too late?"

Su Chen shook his head, "It shouldn't be. They all know that the pigsty is in a hurry. Let's go and look for them."

Sure enough, I saw a few people carrying wooden barrels coming out of the pigsty.

"Li You, what are you doing?"

Su Chen and Li You came to the pigsty and saw Li You squatting with a 7-foot square wooden stick in his hand, scraping on the newly poured cement floor.

"Sister, brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Li You raised his head and looked at Su Chen and Changle. Outside the palace, he called Princess Changle "sister", and in the palace, he called her "imperial sister".

"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, the ground in this pigsty should be high on one side and low on the other, so that it is convenient for the manure to flow out.

The most important thing is that the ground must be flat and no water can accumulate. I am repairing it now."

In modern terms, it means leveling and slope.

Su Chen smiled and nodded: "Well, you are really smart and promising!

How many pig pens have been built? How many pig pens have not been hardened with cement?"

"Brother-in-law, there are 280 pig pens in three rows. It is most reasonable to put 6 pigs over three months old in one pens! Only this row is unfinished inside the pig pen."

Su Chen nodded and thought, planning to release the pigs tonight. He has not seen the pigs for a long time, and he feels uneasy..

Those pigs should be young pigs, and it's okay to put 20 pigs in a pigpen.

"Okay, don't be too tired, it's getting late now, come back with me! I'll get the pigs tomorrow."

Li You stood up and climbed out of the pigpen next to him. He patted the cement on his hands and washed them in the bucket.

"Really brother-in-law?" He ran to Su Chen and asked excitedly.

"Can I still lie to you! Go back!"

Su Chen patted him on the shoulder, and the three of them walked towards the manor.

The sunset stretched the shadows of the three people very long!

...

"Li Tai, why didn't His Majesty send someone to deliver the tools I wanted to the manor? Did he forget to ask the craftsmen to make them?"

Su Chen was still worried, so he asked Li Tai to see what he had to say.

Li Tai put down his chopsticks and thought for a moment: "Father may have made arrangements. I guess the tools have been made, but no one has been sent to the manor.

The recruitment notice said that the people should gather at Zhuque Gate tomorrow at noon. Is it possible that father intends to distribute the tools directly to the people, eliminating the need to send people to the manor?"

Su Chen suddenly realized it after hearing it! He is indeed a smart man, he didn't think of this.

Yes, why send people to the manor? The people gathered at the gate of the palace, and they could just be distributed directly. The road construction also started from outside Mingde Gate.

"Haha~ King Wei's words make sense, I am stupid! I can't reach it!" Su Chen's doubts were resolved, and he also learned to speak like them.

But now most of them are talking to Su Chen.

Then, Su Chen looked at Jin'er and said with a smile:

"Jin'er, you will be the housekeeper of our manor from now on, responsible for all the financial affairs of the manor."

Jin'er waved her hands quickly, "Mr. Su, Jin'er can't do it! Jin'er can't do it well!"

Su Chen smiled and said nothing, looking at Changle.

"Jin'er, I've thought about it, it's better to send you back to the palace tomorrow."

Changle threatened seriously. This was the second time she said this in half an hour.

Before dinner, Su Chen asked Jin'er to have dinner with them, but she refused.

Changle threatened her in the same way.

Su Chen had thought about it before. If he couldn't find a suitable housekeeper, he didn't plan to trouble Empress Changsun.

He wanted to find Lao Wang. Who was Lao Wang? He must have a lot of people who were suitable to be housekeepers.

"Jin'er is the housekeeper, what about the young lady?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "It's still the same as before, you don't have to stay in the room every day to count money."

Jin'er nodded helplessly, "Okay, Jin'er will do her best to be a good housekeeper!"

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, there is one more thing, that is, the wages of the people who build roads cannot be calculated according to the minimum wage, this is all heavy physical labor.

Without advanced tools, it is basically done by manpower. How much do you think is appropriate per day?"

The second generation of officials thought in their hearts, they all knew how much their father's annual salary was.

For example, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the other three belonged to the third rank. The annual salary was 60 guan plus more than 300 shi of grain, 900 mu of official land and 120 servants.

The lowest ninth rank official had an annual salary of 15 guan, more than 50 shi of grain, 200 mu of official land, and 5 servants.

After discussion, several people finally decided that the wages of the people who participated in the road construction were 80 wen per person per day.
