The group arrived safely in Shuzhou in late autumn.
Unlike the dry and cold weather in the north, late autumn in the south is still humid and hot.
The two little girls had some difficulty acclimatizing to the local climate, but fortunately they were young and in good health, so they recovered in two or three days.
Han Zeyu took them around to play, but the two of them were very career-oriented and wanted to visit and learn at the weaving and dyeing workshop.
These two children have awakened the attributes of cattle and horses at a young age.
As long as you want to work, there will be endless work waiting for you in the future.
Lin Xue took them to the weaving and dyeing workshop, and they stayed there for the whole day. It was obvious that the weaving and dyeing workshop had a huge appeal to the little girls.
The workshop recruits apprentices every year, and many people cry outside the workshop after unfortunately being rejected.
It has a grand small building, a clean environment, generous salary and benefits, and the food is also very good. Apprentices are also given two sets of work clothes.
Even the embroiderers, weavers, brothers and sisters in the workshop are so pleasing to the eye.
Han Yumo was curious. The physical work in the workshop was done by strong and healthy women, so why did they need to recruit two male workers?
Lin Xue chuckled when she heard that. Yu Ge'er said that Jiang Mingyue was the chief designer and her say in the workshop was second only to her and Yu Ge'er.
As for the other man who was dressed up in fancy clothes, it was said that his job was to provide a feast for the eyes, improve aesthetic taste and relieve fatigue.
This was the first time Han Yumo had heard of such a position. The salary must be very high, right?
Lin Xue nodded. She had asked Yu Ge'er about this when she was checking the accounts last month, and he said that the man's wages were calculated on an annual basis.
With an annual salary of fifty taels, both Su Shien and Tiezhu felt that fate was unfair.
Tiezhu's annual salary is only 45 taels. Su Shien is better off than him, with 57 taels. He can also have some gray income on weekdays. It's not much money, but it's better than nothing.
Although Yuanyuan is young, she has a unique vision and can see the problem immediately.
"He's eloquent and handsome. If you put a guy like that in a place where women gather, aren't you afraid he'll cause trouble?"
Lin Xue looked at the little girl with approval, thinking she was a good talent.
"He owes Yu Ge'er three hundred taels of silver. Anyone who wants to be with him must pay him back first."
This amount of money is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for an ordinary family, so it is no wonder that Brother Han has no scruples.
Fifty taels a year. If he wants to save enough money to redeem himself, he will have to work for Han Zeyu for six years without eating or drinking.
Moreover, this man lives in an extremely selfish way and is clearly a scumbag. He wants to regain his freedom, but six years is too much of a price to pay for him.
After six years, he would be old and ugly, so what was he still doing? Would he still be able to find a rich woman?
In order to get out of this situation as soon as possible, he has started working part-time. It must be said that he has run into a tough opponent.
If he had known that he would have to work for free for a black-hearted boss, he might as well have gone with the gang and then found a way to escape halfway.
Forget it, it’s all tears if I say too much. One misstep will lead to eternal regret. If you walk by the river often, you will eventually lose your shoes.
Most of the workers in the base material workshop are men, so I didn't take them there for a visit, but I had to arrange for a hotpot meal when I got home.
On weekdays, the two little girls settled down in the weaving and dyeing workshop.
They also need to learn technology, but they don't need to be proficient in it. Their main focus is on learning management models.
However, there is no such grand workshop in Junshan Mansion.
If she had money, Han Yumo would also like to open a workshop like this, specifically recruiting girls from poor families and giving them the opportunity to learn a skill.
With the addition of these two people, Lin Xue devoted more energy to the children.
Han Zecang didn't plan to continue taking the exam. The status of a juren was something he had never dared to dream of, but now that he had obtained it, he should be content.
The little girl doesn't cry or make a fuss, she just plays well by herself, she is a low-demand baby.
If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door. The whole family is quite Buddhist and they focus on having no desires or demands.
Lin Xue, the tallest among the short ones, unexpectedly became the most career-oriented one in the family of three.
The imperial court usually appoints officials in March or April of the following year, after the results of the palace examination are released.
If you want to get an official position for Han Zecang, you have to act as soon as possible.
Han Zeyu took this to heart, but since one could enter the government with the merits of a Juren, the highest official rank he could hold could not exceed the eighth rank.
Don't underestimate this rank. If you want to descend to the eighth rank, you will have to spend at least ten thousand taels of silver.
The buyer is never as smart as the seller. The Ministry of Personnel’s sale of official positions must be approved by the emperor. This is a profitable business for the government.
Those who buy official positions want fame, and those who sell them want profit, thus forming a tacit supply and demand relationship.
Without Han Zecang's knowledge, his closest family members had already begun to criticize him.
"Your eldest brother's ninth-rank official title, affiliated with the Imperial College, is said to be worth ten thousand taels!"
Lin Xue echoed, "Big Brother holds a sinecure position, so he doesn't have to go to the government office. I heard he doesn't even get a salary."
Han Zeyu disagreed: "Think about it from another perspective. Your elder brother got his official position for free. This is just 10,000 taels of silver for the province!"
Lin Xue suddenly realized that this was actually possible, but wouldn't it make her Ze Cang seem very expensive?
Han Zeyu rolled his eyes. "What else could we do?" Buying an official position was always a money-burning affair.
"Brother, what price range do you want to buy it for him?"
If you ask Han Zeyu for his opinion, he thinks that since you are already paid to work, you shouldn't be too picky about the position.
These two people were openly teasing Han Zecang behind his back. Su Shien couldn't bear it and said something fair: "Can't you ask Zecang's opinion?"
As soon as these words came out, Han Zeyu and Lin Xue turned to look at Su Shien and said in unison: "His opinion is not important!"
Su Shien shrugged, he had nothing to say.
Ze Cang, I, your brother-in-law, have tried my best. As for the “younger brother position in the family” thing, if you don’t have it, then forget it. Just get used to it.
Within the Qianhu Suo.
Ma Zhao received a secret decree from the emperor. First, the imperial decree to confer a title on Xiao Hongjin was issued. Second, he asked Han Zeyu if he was interested in taking the full amount of the official position in the Ministry of Revenue.
The emperor also considerately gave a price range, no less than 10,000 taels and no more than 30,000 taels.
A Beijing official, an eighth-rank official, and a member of one of the six ministries is really worth the price. If it is ten thousand taels, it is a 70% discount.
The emperor did not forget to paint a rosy picture for Ma Zhao, saying that if Ma Zhao could sell it at a higher price, the excess would belong to him personally.
Ma Zhao was at the point of crying but had no tears. Your Majesty, this is forcing me to do something against my will!
Not everyone can have a bite of the emperor's new cake.
Ma Zhao went to the stable with a serious look on his face to get the horse. He picked up An An who was standing in front of the stable and asked him if he wanted to go out together.
Little An An struggled to get down to the ground, twisting his body reluctantly.
Don't pick him up at every turn. He is not a three-year-old child anymore and he also needs to save face.
Ma Zhao led a horse out and said regretfully, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll go find your dream horse myself."
In the blink of an eye, little Ma Zhuoan brought a stool at lightning speed and climbed onto the horse's back with difficulty.
Ma Zhao was so disappointed with his students, could it be that Han Zeyu was right?
