The next day, Zhao Jun got up refreshed after a good rest.
Yan Li and Pan Daning were of course very nervous and did not sleep well that night.
"Sir, you said it could be solved today, how are we going to solve it?"
Pan Daning sat next to Zhao Jun and asked anxiously.
Zhao Jun ignored him and finished his breakfast slowly.
Finally, after eating and drinking her fill, she spoke.
"Come on, take me to Mr. Lu's house."
If we want to solve this problem from the root, we must first solve the worry that has been bothering Mr. Lu for so many years.
Pan Daning quickly took her to Uncle Lu's residence.
At that time, Lu Chun was sitting in the yard with the door open, looking at the sky.
As soon as he saw the two of them, Lu Chun immediately closed his eyes and didn't look at them.
Pan Daning was anxious and was about to have a good talk with the old man when he was stopped by Zhao Jun.
"Don't make trouble here, go watch at the door."
Pan Daning was driven out by her, and Zhao Jun was ready to talk to Lu Chun.
However, she did not talk directly to Mr. Lu, but found a seat and sat in the yard.
"I've been traveling around Xiayuan County these past two days. Almost everyone in Xiayuan County relies on farming for their livelihood. Every household raises chickens and ducks, so while they can be said to have enough to eat and drink, the people don't have much money and are short of many other things."
"In any case, it's still far behind Jiangyuan County."
“If the earthen kilns were still there, the situation in Yuan County would probably be better than it is now.”
Lu Chun still had his eyes closed, but his ears were open.
He silently complained in his heart, why talk about such trivial matters at this time.
You also know the impact of earthen kilns on our county.
Zhao Jun ignored him and continued talking to himself.
"Do you know how much I pay the kiln workers now? I give them one hundred coins each if they can make what I want. This is a lot of money for the people of Ba County."
"But this is nothing to the current government. You've heard about the winemaking workshop I built in Jiangyuan County. The workers there are paid fifty coins a month."
"I believe that the lives of the people in Jiangyuan County will get better and better in the future."
At this moment, Lu Chun couldn't help but half-close his eyes and secretly glance at her.
She can actually offer such a high salary, so Jiangyuan County will be rewarded in the future.
"Xiayuan County and Jiangyuan County are not far apart, but the lives of the people there are very different."
"Now, we finally have a kiln that can be restarted and bring income to the people, but we have to give it up right before our eyes."
Lu Chun knew from the beginning that this guy must be here to act as a lobbyist, but he still couldn't help feeling sad when he heard her say that.
Zhao Jun noticed his expression and softened his attitude a lot.
"I don't know what happened more than 20 years ago, but it may have hurt a lot of people."
"But I hope you won't punish yourself now for what happened in the past."
"Now is the best opportunity for Xiayuan County. I am not the same official as before. I hope you can give me and Xiayuan County a chance."
This time, Zhao Jun has said everything he wanted to say.
She felt that Mr. Lu was not an unreasonable person.
He still has love for the earthen kiln, which can be seen from the fact that he has been going there every day for more than ten years.
Zhao Jun believed that he would figure it out.
She bowed to Lu Chun and then walked out.
Pan Daning, who was waiting at the door, also quickly followed him out.
Lu Chun opened his eyes and sat up.
“Don’t punish yourself in the present for things in the past.”
Lu Chun murmured.
"How's it going? Is it solved?"
Pan Daning jogged over to catch up with Zhao Jun and began to ask questions impatiently.
"It should be fine. We just need to go back to the county government office and wait."
After Zhao Jun said this, Pan Daning was completely relieved.
In the yard, Lu Chun thought for a while.
These twenty years have been filled with anger, resentment and hatred.
But he has not given up on pottery making, nor does he want to see the earthen kiln remain dormant forever.
That female official, I hope she is not the same official as before.
Zhao Jun rested leisurely in the county government office.
Pan Daning and Yan Li looked outside from time to time.
When will this craftsman come to sign up? It’s almost dark.
They turned to look at Zhao Jun who was leisurely drinking water and refrained from asking any questions.
The two of them were anxious and nervous and kept looking towards the door.
Just when the sky was about to get completely dark, a figure finally appeared in the distance.
Pan Daning and Yan Li immediately stood up and walked to the door to take a closer look.
The figure gradually approached and revealed its true face.
Lu Chun walked in front, and Yuan Xia and the disciples followed behind Master Lu.
Zhao Jun, who was standing at the back, looked straight at Lu Chun, who was in the front.
"Little girl, here we come."
Little girl?
Mr. Zhao did not argue with him about the address. Instead, he welcomed everyone into the mansion with a warm smile.
She knew that the matter of the earthen kiln was a success.
"Little girl, let me make a promise first. We will work for you on a short-term basis. Once the work is done, you can't cheat on the wages."
Lu Chun spoke to Zhao Jun with a stern face.
Zhao Jun laughed.
"Of course, I don't care about this little money."
"Mr. Lu, let me tell you the truth first. I really want this earthen kiln in Xiayuan County to be preserved forever. What is said on the notice is not false."
She said sincerely.
Lu Chun had no expression and was silent for a moment.
"First, tell me, what is it that you are going to burn this time?"
Lu Chun asked directly.
"What I'm going to burn this time might be a little difficult. It's a large vat. It's mainly because it's large. You may not have burned something like this before."
Zhao Jun stopped talking nonsense and quickly started chatting with Mr. Lu about the things he wanted to cook.
"That's basically it. I don't have any other requirements. Just something with a big shape and a little bit of sturdiness will be fine."
After hearing this, Lu Chun still had no expression, but his disciples' faces became a little solemn.
Because they had never made such large pottery, and they hadn't touched the kiln for twenty years, so they were definitely unfamiliar with it.
For a moment, everyone felt a little uneasy.
"Okay, I understand your request. When will the work start?"
Lu Chun asked calmly, full of confidence.
"Of course, the sooner the better. We will hold a groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow morning at the kiln. Everyone should come and we will start work after the ceremony."
Since the craftsmen are already ready, it is naturally better to start work as soon as possible.
"Okay, then we'll wait at the earthen kiln tomorrow."
After that, Mr. Lu went out with his group of apprentices.
Yan Li, who had been standing by, did not forget to register each of them.
Soon, the group of figures disappeared into the night.
From a distance, Mr. Lu's slightly bent back seemed to straighten up.
"Sir, how did you convince Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu has always been very stubborn."
Yan Li was really curious.
Zhao Jun was in a good mood at the moment, so he responded with a smile.
"I'm not convinced. It's Mr. Lu himself who hasn't let it go."
