"Hahahaha, I have been waiting for you masters for a long time. Come on, masters, please don't be polite, please sit down, please sit down."

Not long after Zhu Changluo initially found a backer for his future production in Zhuangzi, all the twenty craftsmen that Zhu Changluo asked the officials from the Ministry of Industry to find for Zhu Youdong gathered at Honghe Village. Zhu Youdong asked Xu Guangqi to be called, and the group hurried back to Zhuangzi.

inside.

There is no other way. He is not yet five years old. Although he has shown great talent, his age is still there, so he has not moved out of Zhu Changluo's Ciqing Palace at this time. As the East Palace, Ciqing Palace is

In the Forbidden City, although there were not as many rules in the Ming Dynasty as in the Qing Dynasty, it was still the location of the imperial palace. It was impossible for him to receive these craftsmen who were considered "despicable" by the social elite at that time in the Ciqing Palace.

Alas, this is really inconvenient.

"Masters, please wait a moment, Zhongxian, come with me."

"What do you want to tell me, young master?"

"Now that my stall has grown so big, it's too inconvenient to live in Ciqing Palace anymore. Think about it, if there is any good place outside the palace or within the imperial city, I would like to move out."

"Well, I am my great-grandson, so I can have a separate palace. Is it just my age?"

"It doesn't matter, after so many things, who dares to treat me like an ordinary child? And isn't there my sister in Ciqing Palace who is having sex at her father's knees? It is said that Aunt Wang (Wang Xuanshi) is more than two months pregnant.

It’s 1 month now, and I should be able to give me a younger brother (Zhu Youxiao) this year. Therefore, even if I move out, Ciqing Palace will not be deserted."

"Yes, I know. This matter will take care of things later. I will follow you back to the capital, and then go to the capital to handle the matter for you."

"Well, my companion Cao hasn't come back during this period. All the burdens are on you. It's really hard on you."

"I thank you for your understanding, but I won't go into details about my early years. Even after I entered the palace, I was just a sweeper. It was my master who promoted me. If it weren't for me, I might have stayed in the palace for the rest of my life.

After being imprisoned until it becomes inconvenient to move, he is kicked out... For the sake of my master, a little hard work as a servant is nothing."

"Well, you are in charge of hundreds of people now. You will be promoted to dianbo next year. Going up will be the eunuch and the young eunuch. You are not far from the eunuch. So, how many do you have in hand?

You are a helper. I have given you permission to make a list yourself. If there are three eunuchs or less, I will go to Wang An to ask for someone. In addition, if you don’t return home if you are rich and honorable, it is like walking at night in brocade. You are so busy, I will not let you go back to your hometown.

Go. But you can ask Wang Chengen to write a letter home for you. If there are any decent nephews at home, you can also call them to help. Let me make it clear first, I don’t want your nephew to serve in the palace.

There are also people outside who can help me with things."

"Yes!" Wei Zhongxian, who had always been groveling in front of Zhu Youdong and spoke softly, responded loudly at this time: "I thank you for your thoughtfulness and trust. Please rest assured that the person you have found will definitely be right."

The young master is loyal. If anyone dares to be disloyal to the young master, I will kill him with my own hands!"

"Well..." Old Wei will have a lot of Zhu Youdong's secrets now and in the future, but this guy is definitely not a good person. Therefore, regular beatings are a must, and appropriate kindness is also a must.

After once again taking notice of Wei Zhongxian, the two entered the house again.

"Eh? Masters, why are you still standing? Oh, don't kneel, I don't like this. Come on, everyone, sit down, everyone! I don't have so many rules here. Look, I'm not even five years old now, so with you

The kids at home are actually not much different, so don’t be nervous."

After all, he was a weak prince, so Zhu Changluo asked the officials from the Ministry of Works to send twenty craftsmen over, and the officials from the Ministry of Works did so. But, to be honest, these are not the best in their respective industries.

However, after a preliminary understanding, Zhu Youdong was amazed at the hands-on ability of craftsmen of this era.

For example, these blacksmiths can complete the entire process from refining pure iron from rough iron ore to making various utensils. Several gunpowder makers can also purify sulfur and saltpeter, and produce charcoal.

The molding of a proportion of gunpowder. As for those carpenters, their ability to process wood can only amaze a time traveler like Zhu Youdong.

This is a characteristic of this era that has not realized streamlined production: although the craftsmen are inefficient, they are more powerful than others.

"Masters, have you all seen the rooms I prepared for you? Are you satisfied with them?"

After the twenty craftsmen looked at each other, a man with gray hair said: "Your Highness, very good, who are we? How can we live in a large courtyard with two entrances as a family? How many lifetimes have we been here?"

I can’t even think about it. Well, Cao Min’s family didn’t sleep well last night because the bed was too soft, the quilt was too warm, and the whole house was too clean.”

"Yes, Your Highness, the common people and others just feel terrified."

"Caomin just thinks it's a dream, and it seems he hasn't woken up yet."

"Hahahaha, don't panic, this is not a dream. You masters and your families, feel free to live in it. I am here to make it clear to you, as long as you can do what I told you well, the house is yours, and I will pay you every month

The regular money will not be less. Well, the minimum is five taels per month, and if you do well, it will be counted! In addition, if you have children at home, as long as you still live in Zhuangzi, I will ask your husband to teach them how to read!"

"Ah?! Your Highness is so kind and kind that it is hard for the common people to repay His Highness with their bodies. The common people and others have nothing to repay His Highness, except that they still have some tricks in their hands. I have nothing to say, as long as His Highness asks us to do it, we will risk our lives to do it.

Prepare it for Your Highness."

"Well, what do you need to do? I will explain it to you in detail later. But I also want to make it clear first. When you enter my village, you must abide by my rules. If you break the rules, you will not be able to tell, and I will have to send you away. From now on

Where are you going back and forth!"

It was hard to leave the hell where I was working hard with a meager salary, and had to endure harsh working conditions and contempt and oppression by officials at all levels. When I came to see His Royal Highness, the Emperor Taisun, so amiable, with such a perfect living environment, and more importantly, the children at home.

It's a paradise where you can study. Who would be willing to leave? So I made another vow to show my loyalty.

"Masters, who can't speak well? What I want to see are actions and results. This Eunuch Wei is the steward of Honghe Village. From now on, he will be responsible for providing you with raw materials and funds. He will also be responsible for distributing your monthly salary.

Later he will tell everyone about the rules of Zhuangzi. You must listen carefully and you and your family must abide by it."

"Yes, I have met Eunuch Wei, and I will ask Eunuch Wei for more advice in the future."

"Masters, please be polite. His Highness has repeatedly explained to our family that all masters are talented people and should be treated kindly. Our family is not here to take care of you, but to, uh, serve you. Masters, please complete your work.

When explaining things, if there is anything missing, you can tell us and we will try our best to help you masters."
