Chapter 176 Heartbeat
Huang Sanya was completely stunned when she heard this. She thought Chu Yian only wanted those of them who could embroider, but she didn't expect that she also thought of other people.
How could such a wealthy family really not be able to find someone to help? They just felt sorry for her and wanted to help her.
Huang Sanya's eyes felt sore again, and she couldn't utter a word for a moment.
Once again, she hated herself for being tongue-tied and could only kneel down and kowtow to Chu Yian three times.
Chu Yian hurriedly helped the man up, feeling sad, and forced a smile on his face: "Don't kneel, what's your name?"
Huang Sanya wiped her moist eyes and said, "Miss, my name is Huang Sanya."
Chu Yian: "You are older than me, so I will call you Third Sister."
Huang Sanya quickly waved her hand: "Miss, just call me by my name. No need, no need to call me sister."
Chu Yian patted her hand soothingly: "Third sister, as for wages, I have seen the skills of you and the sisters who can embroider. I will pay you three times the market price."
"I haven't seen the other sisters' skills yet. I'll set the price after I see them, but I will definitely not treat them unfairly."
"They're not here now, so we can decide the exact wages later. What do you think?"
Huang Sanya's tears fell and she nodded excitedly: "Thank you very much, Miss. Thank you very much, Miss. I thank you on behalf of the sisters in Dashi Village."
Chu Yian's eyes curved: "Can you make the decision on the other sisters?"
Huang Sanya wiped away her tears and thought for a while, feeling a little conflicted. It was obvious that she was not in a position to make the decision, but she still said, "Miss, I, my other two sisters and I can help you make the clothes first."
"I'll go back and discuss it with them after we're done, is that okay with you?"
Chu Yian thought about it and realized that the system must know that it is not an easy task to arrange so many people in such a short time.
Qin Sheng was about to go on another expedition, so he relaxed the conditions and allowed the person to get the pill as long as he completed half of the task.
She didn't rush Huang Sanya: "Okay, let's make the clothes first. But do you have any concerns? If you have any, you can tell me and I will do my best to help you solve them."
Huang Sanya felt that she had already troubled Chu Yian a lot, so how could she trouble her again? She quickly shook her head and said no.
Chu Yian frowned. Huang Sanya was unwilling to speak, so she simply asked directly: "If you come, will the elders or the men in your family agree?"
Huang Sanya bit her lip, lowered her head and said nothing.
Chu Yian: "So that's what you're worried about, right? Don't worry, just leave it to me."
Huang Sanya felt a little guilty. No one had ever been so nice to her in her life: "Miss, you, you don't have to..." Be so nice to us.
Chu Yian interrupted her, his tone more serious: "I am interested in your craftsmanship. With you, my cloth shop will definitely make money. This is a win-win situation. Why are you afraid of bothering me?"
"If someone delays me from making money, I'll be mad at them. Don't worry, just stay here."
As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Fu who was standing beside her: "Xiao Fu, take Third Sister down to rest, and arrange to bring her other two sisters over. All arrangements have been made."
Xiao Fu quickly replied yes.
Although she was also stupid, she would not make mistakes in arranging these things, so Chu Yian was still relieved.
Huang Sanya thanked Chu Yian profusely before leaving.
Chu Yian got up and went to the warehouse, rummaged around, and indeed found a lot of cotton cloth, all of which were of good quality.
There's not only cotton cloth, there's a lot of cloth here, but I can't use it now.
Chu Yian took out two horses, asked someone to send them to Fuhuayuan, and then left.
After returning to her room, she began to wonder where the men from Dashi Village had gone.
It is not easy to change a group of lazy people. They will be more diligent when someone urges them, but only for a while.
When you return home after that period, the situation will still be the same, and it may even get worse.
She sat in the room thinking for a long time, until Qin Sheng came back before she came to her senses.
Qin Sheng came back quite early today. He walked to the table and poured a glass of water. Then he asked Chu Yian, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?"
Chu Yian pursed his lips, stood up and asked Qin Sheng: "Well, Xiao Shengzi, let me ask you a question."
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Ask."
Chu Yian was silent for two seconds before he said with a troubled look on his face, "Is there any place in the Qin family where you can do heavy physical work? Preferably one where you can eat steamed bread all day long."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng was somewhat speechless: "My Qin family wouldn't treat the people below so harshly. The kind of thing you're talking about is probably only found in places of exile."
Chu Yian's eyes lit up: "It's not impossible. Can you help me send a group of men over there? Help them to reform."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng was really curious now. What had happened to her that made her want those people dead so much?
He couldn't help but ask, "Why would you send someone to die for no reason?"
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian glared at him dissatisfiedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm helping them become hardworking."
After hesitating for a few seconds, she half-concealedly said, "I met a girl today. The men in her village are lazy and greedy, and they even pawn their wives..."
Qin Sheng frowned. Without Chu Yian saying anything more, he could already guess what had happened.
The typical wife...
The Dashun government did not pay much attention to this aspect. It might be because the officials did not go to the grassroots level and were unaware of the sufferings of the people there, so naturally no one reported such matters.
Chu Yian is a person who can't stand seeing girls suffer, so if he encounters such a situation, he will definitely find a way to help solve it.
Qin Sheng frowned and thought for a while, but did not make a hasty decision. Instead, he asked Chu Yian: "How do you want to help them?"
Chu Yian did not hide it: "There are many girls in their village who have some skills. I want to send them to the cloth shop so that they can earn some money on their own."
"People without any skills can also help raise mulberry trees and silkworms in the village. Anyway, we try our best to help every girl."
"But as long as those men are still in the village, they will definitely drag them down, exploit them, and always want to pawn them off."
"So I want to send those men farther away and let them earn money elsewhere."
"But they are too lazy. I am afraid we can only lure them over with a large sum of money."
"It doesn't matter how much it costs. I won't deduct their wages, but I don't plan to give the money to them either. I'll just give it directly to their wives or mothers."
Qin Sheng wanted to laugh when he heard this. Anyway, those men could only survive by not starving to death, and they would not get a single penny from Chu Yian.
Not only did Chu Yian not want them to get any money, he also made them do the hardest and most tiring work and gave them the least food.
Qin Sheng always felt that he couldn't get rid of his anger unless he tortured Chu Yian to death.
Qin Sheng thought for a moment and quickly offered a suggestion: "There's a city to the south called Guang'an. Outside the city is a large mine that was recently discovered. It's time to mine it."
"Just give them a heads-up and get them in to mine. It's not a difficult task."
Chu Yian's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately decided: "Okay, this is it."
Qin Sheng raised the corner of his lips and asked, "Then how do you plan to get them over? You said they're lazy. If you tell them to go mining, I'm afraid many of them won't be willing to go."
She is very experienced in this area. Chu Yian put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Fifty taels of silver a year, and all you have to do is run errands for people. The most tiring work is to help people move some things, which are not very heavy things."
"I'm asking you, are you going?"
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng laughed softly. You know what, this attraction is really great.
How much silver do farmers earn in a year from farming?
After paying the tax there was nothing left, and fifty taels was definitely a huge sum of money.
Can you trick people into running away halfway?
Chu Yian felt that she was still too kind. At least she really gave money to people after she tricked them into coming over, although she didn't give it to them directly.
She also gave them food without them having to call or chew their kidneys.
Where on earth could one find someone as kind as her?
Now that this matter has been decided, we just need to arrange someone who is good at deceiving people to go to Dashi Village and trick those men away.
There is always a brave man under a huge reward, so it is not difficult.
Since it has been decided, Chu Yian stopped thinking about it and talked to Qin Sheng about another matter.
"Oh, I found someone who makes beautiful clothes. Wait a minute, I'll call her over to take your measurements."
Chu Yian ran away after he finished speaking. Qin Sheng wanted to call someone, but he swallowed the words back.
In fact, the housekeeper has the clothing sizes of the masters in the mansion, which are recorded in great detail, so there is no need to measure them specifically.
Chu Yian quickly pulled Huang Sanya over, pointed at Qin Sheng and said to her gently, "Third sister, please help measure his size."
"After I'm measured, I'll discuss some details of the dress with you."
Before Huang Sanya could react, Chu Yian pulled her in front of Qin Sheng.
Looking at Qin Sheng, who stood up tall, with long legs and handsome appearance, Huang Sanya took two steps back embarrassedly, with a look of confusion and embarrassment on her face.
Although he makes clothes, Qin Sheng is a man after all, a man like no one has ever seen.
Measuring the size... I'm getting a little too close.
Seeing that Huang Sanya didn't move, Chu Yian blinked and called out in confusion: "Third sister?"
Qin Sheng lowered his eyelashes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Yi An, Third Sister is not very convenient, can you help me measure it?"
Chu Yian looked confused: "I don't know how."
Although someone would measure her occasionally, Chu Yian knew which parts to measure, but she had no idea how to record the data.
Qin Sheng's dark eyes showed a little glimmer of light: "It's okay, just let the third sister guide you."
Huang Sanya raised her head when she heard this: "Miss, you measure and I will record it."
Since they both said so, Chu Yian had no choice but to nod: "Okay."
Qin Sheng's eyes curved and he asked someone to bring a ruler.
Chu Yian looked up at Qin Sheng with the ruler in hand, stretched out his hand to reach it, and it was tiring to hold it up: "You are shorter, it is not easy for me to measure."
Qin Sheng half squatted down obediently and let Chu Yian measure the width of his shoulders and arms.
Looking at the face so close to him, he could even feel Chu Yian's warm breath, and her hand rubbing against his cheek from time to time, making him feel itchy.
This was the first time she was so close to him.
So close that he could hold her in his arms with just one hand.
Qin Sheng lowered his eyelashes to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and stood up after Chu Yian finished measuring.
He had just stood up straight and hadn't even reacted when Chu Yian suddenly put down the ruler and threw himself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly.
Qin Sheng froze instantly, his eyes widened a little and trembled.
His mind was almost blank. He could only feel the hands tightly wrapped around his waist and the hot touch of the woman in his arms against him.
Qin Sheng seemed to be unable to remember anything. The heart that he had been trying so hard to suppress felt like it was pierced by a sharp knife, and something erupted wildly and violently.
The wind moves, the clouds move...
He looked down at the woman in his arms with trembling eyelashes, and suddenly wanted to hug her tightly back.
But he couldn't, he clearly realized that the feeling at this moment... was heartbeat.
