Everyone who works as a servant is a person with excellent vision. He can know what Wang Da is thinking at a glance. At that moment, he curled his lips and said: "What's the matter, can't you trust the path I show you?"
Wang Dalian shook his head and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare! It's just that the work of building embankments is too heavy. My two brothers are young and can't bear it!"
The servant sneered and said: "You know nothing! Do you know who arranged that job? It was Wu Ninghou! Mr. Hou is famous for being kind to his subordinates! The food is sufficient and wages are not deducted.
If you are sick, there will be a doctor to treat you! If it weren’t for the shortage of manpower now, where would it be for you outsiders like you?”
When the officer mentioned that Wu Ninghou was here, Wang Da immediately remembered what the old shopkeeper had repeatedly told him on the road, that is, "If Wu Ninghou's business is recruiting people, you must find a way to apply for it! As long as you enter, you will be destined to return to your hometown.
I can also bring back a lot of money!"
So he stepped forward in surprise and said, "Master Cha, the embankment construction you mentioned was arranged by Wu Ninghou?"
The officer and the helper laughed together as soon as they saw his appearance. After laughing, the officer said to the helpers around him: "Did you see it? Did you see it? These idiots would dare to be serious with me! If it weren't for Mr. Hou's control now
He must be strict and the rules are strong. He should have been beaten long ago to let him learn a lot!"
After speaking, he lowered his tone and said to Wang Da: "Although they say they have the name of the inner palace over there, the real person who makes the decision is Wu Ninghou! I can guarantee that I will work under the Marquis.
Immortal! You don’t want your Wang family’s most promising roots to die outside, right?”
Wang Da was overjoyed when he heard this. He bowed to the officer repeatedly and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Cha, for your advice! I will treat Mr. Cha for a nice drink when I receive my salary in the future!"
The guard waved his hands impatiently and said, "Get out! Once you get your fucking wages, you won't know where to go to be happy, and you'll even have a drink with me!"
At this time, the scribe had already issued identity certificates to the three of them. Wang Da took the identity certificates and walked out of the shed diagonally opposite with a lot of gratitude.
When he entered the shed, he saw a man dressed as a eunuch sitting inside. Because he was the only one, he was yawning out of boredom! When he saw Wang and three others coming in, he hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Are you looking for work?
?Show us the proof!"
After receiving the certificate, he complained about the names of the three brothers like the servant. After asking about the whole story, he said to Wang Zhengguo with great interest: "Wang Zhengguo, you said you have been studying for several years and you can write, but can you count?
"
Wang Zhengguo bowed and said: "Replying to your Majesty, although the tutor wants the student to develop on the right path of the imperial examination, the student knows that his family is poor and he is afraid that he cannot support it, so he asked the teacher to teach him some economic knowledge. So there is no problem with reading, writing and arithmetic.
!”
The eunuch narrowed his eyes when he heard someone calling him a nobleman, but he said: "You can't call me a nobleman. What kind of nobleman are we? But since you said you can write and count, then our family
Test you!"
Wang San was young and had never seen what a eunuch looked like, so he was a little confused by the behavior of the eunuch in front of him! But at any rate, he could still understand what he said. He hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Please give me a question, sir."
,Students try their best!" 33??qxs??.????m
The eunuch first picked up a poem by Bai Juyi and read it out for Wang Zhengguo to write silently. After seeing that he had written it, he asked him to solve a few arithmetic problems, and these arithmetic problems were all about calculating earthwork and land area. Wang Zhengguo
It was also calculated successfully.
Seeing that his result was correct, the eunuch said happily: "Well done! You can work with our family in the future! As for the salary, you have to talk to the boss before it can be decided. After all, you are still young! As for your two brothers
…”
Having said this, he looked at Wang Da and Wang Er up and down, and took a special look at their arms and thighs before saying, "I see you guys are pretty good, and you don't have any special skills, so just go dig in the soil!"
Wang Da was naturally overjoyed to find a place to work when he arrived in Tianjin, and he agreed without hesitation. Wang San opened his mouth, wanting to speak but didn't. All this was seen by the eunuch, but he still smiled.
Without saying a word, he sent Wang Da and Wang Er to the back of the shed to rest, and took Wang Zhengguo to teach him how to make account books. It seemed that he was very happy to have someone who could help!
By evening, the eunuch had recruited a total of seven people. He took these seven people through Tianjin City and walked to the seaside. After more than an hour of contact, Wang Zhengguo already knew that the eunuch's surname was Li and his name was Li Fa. So he tried
He said calmly: "Eunuch Li, thank you for teaching me so much this afternoon!"
Li Fa said with a smile: "Then how are you going to thank our family?"
When Wang Zhengguo heard this, he subconsciously turned around to look at his elder brother, but was directly stopped by Li Fa and said: "Don't look at your brother, just use your little head to think about it!"
Wang Zhengguo is originally an extremely smart person. Although reading does not necessarily make people become worldly, it can help him summarize useful things from limited information. So he quickly synthesized what the old shopkeeper taught him along the way.
He looked at the things and what he saw and heard, and whispered in a blissful voice: "How about this, Eunuch Li, when I get my wages, I will honor you with one month's wages!"
When Li Fa heard this, his smile became even brighter! He nodded repeatedly and said, "You are indeed a clever little guy! But think about it again, why did our family teach you so many things this afternoon? You can think of it.
, our family will give you a benefit!"
When he said this, Wang Zhengguo was a little confused! He wanted to look at his elder brother subconsciously, but Li Fa directly pressed his head and said: "I told you not to look at your elder brother, let you think for yourself!"
At this time, Wang Zhengguo suddenly remembered that what Li Fa taught him the most in the afternoon was how to register and allocate personnel, and explain the rules here, so he blurted out: "Do you want me to register here for you tomorrow and follow the rules?"
Li Fa laughed and said: "The little guy is really smart, he guessed it right away!"
At this point, he smiled, sighed and said: "This time the palace sent a few people from our family here, but such a big project is simply too busy! People who can contribute can always be found, but those who are most lacking are those
People who can read, write, and calculate! But there are very few such people in Tianjin, and they all already have a family.
Damn it! There are still some people who are stupid in studying and feel that it is embarrassing to do things for the imperial government, so these people in our family are not busy at all! So our family will spend one day with you tomorrow. If you handle the errands properly, our family will
Just call your second brother over to run errands for you. The wages will be the same as on the construction site, but you will suffer a lot less!"
