Chapter 333 Long live today and compete with the people for profit
"What have these guys got out of their minds? Once this shipyard is opened, they will have to work for the court in vain. A few days ago, these guys were still sighing and frowning, but why are they smiling so much today?
Like a treasure?" Within a teahouse near the shipyard, three old men in brocade robes looked at the shipwrights walking on the street with doubts on their faces. One of them was quite slim.
Thin, the old man in brocade robes with a gloomy face said in a low voice.
"If you want to know it's not easy, please come and call up an old shipwright who is drinking tea in the lobby. I have something to ask." Next to him, another rich-looking old man in gorgeous clothes first looked at the man sitting opposite.
The old man was about fifty years old. Although he was wearing a brocade robe, the pair of unchanged official boots under his front exposed his true identity.
Seeing that the man nodded slightly, as if he agreed, he clapped his hands and called the waiter in the teahouse to give him some instructions.
After a while, an old shipwright with gray hair but still energetic followed the boy to this elegant room facing the street. "Old man Niu Qi has met several officials."
"Haha, Niu Qi, are you a shipwright?" The rich old man who just spoke asked, stroking his long beard and nodding slightly towards the old shipwright.
"Back to the officials, the old man's family is a hereditary craftsman family, and they have been working in this shipyard for four generations. When the eunuch Sanbao went to the West, the old man and his father were building treasure ships for the eunuch Sanbao.
Come on." The old shipwright replied respectfully. His eyes swept over these three old men with rich faces and luxurious clothes. He couldn't help but beat a drum quietly in his heart, and subconsciously reached out to touch the system.
The silver in that waistband.
That was the advance monthly salary I had just received from the steward of the Bao Shipyard. It was three taels of silver. This was a real three taels of silver. It was not like the past, with deductions and deductions. You could get it in one month, at most.
No more than two taels.
Just thinking that Jin Yiwei, whose legs would go weak when he heard about the officials and gentry, actually explained the new employment contract to himself and others in a pleasant manner, and also invited many squires to prove it, as long as he was in the shipyard.
If you work well and do a good job, you will not only get three taels of snowflake silver every month. Those with good skills and abilities can also be promoted to intermediate shipwrights. This mid-level shipwright can earn four taels of silver a month. In addition,
There is also a senior shipwright. This senior shipwright can only earn five taels. After this year, he can earn sixty taels of silver, which is twenty taels more than his nephew who works as a groom in the yamen.
.
In addition to these, those who know how to improve, are literate, can write, draw, and make ship patterns are superior. It is said that they are called technicians and earn one or two more silver per month than the senior shipwright.

In addition to these monthly salaries, if you do a good job, or if you have done your part, you can do more. How much more can you do, and you will get an extra 1 tael or even up to 5 taels in bonus. When I think of it
This made Niu Qi's heart feel hot. When he got home, he really had to talk to his two sons who were doing handyman work for others. After all, he was also a shipwright who had been there for decades, so
The two children also learned from me for seven or eight years. Later, because they no longer built treasure ships, they left the shipyard and found other jobs to make a living.
At that time, I will bring the two children together, and I will help them. I think it won’t be long before this old guy like me can definitely become a senior shipwright. The two brothers can also earn three to forty taels of silver every month.
After more than a year of work, the younger son will marry a wife, so he really doesn't have to worry about it.
"Hasn't this Bao Shipyard rarely built ships in addition to repairs in recent years? Why has there been such a big fight in the past few days?" The old man with a gloomy face asked.
"What the officials don't know is that in the past, after the construction of treasure ships stopped, the shipyard rarely built ships except for repairs. After that, the shipwrights in the shipyard had nothing to do, and naturally they had no money.
Yes, you can only find a living by yourself, but a few days ago, the old guys who stayed at the shipyard took the officials around one by one and told the old man that the Bao Shipyard was going to restart construction, and the money they got was all cash.
, so, we old guys who are old and can’t work hard in the city came over first to have a look..."
"It seems that Chaoting really wants to start up this treasure shipyard again." After Niu Qi left, the gloomy old man who was the first to speak said while stroking his long beard and frowning slightly.
The rather wealthy old man couldn't help but shook his head, looked at the shipwrights walking away on the street, and asked with a slight doubt: "Is it possible that today we have to be like Emperor Taizong?"
Raise an army and mobilize a large number of people to go to the ocean and boast about your achievements?"
"What Liu Laozhang said is true, and I also think it is very possible. Today is not what it used to be. We are brave and courageous. We are chasing Emperor Taizong directly, and now we have destroyed my great enemy of the Ming Dynasty, Wasi. I am afraid that something like this will really happen."
Thoughts." He never spoke, sipping tea and listening to the two gentlemen questioning the old shipwright. The middle-aged man dressed as an official nodded slowly at this time, and it seemed that he was quite satisfied with what the rich old man said.
Recognize.
"Master Hu, do you think so too?" The gloomy old gentleman couldn't help but cast his eyes on Master Hu who finally opened his mouth.
"Well, I think that should be the case." Mr. Hu raised his eyebrows and nodded affirmatively. "If not, where can't we build ships? Why build such a huge ocean-going ship that costs a lot of money?"
"That's true, but Mr. Long live is in Xuanfu, and the commotion is quite serious. Colleagues in Xuanfu, Datong, and even Gansu Town are complaining, saying that Mr. Long live is competing with the people for profit, causing great anger and resentment...
..." The gloomy old man raised his eyebrows, but still had a sad expression on his face, as if everyone owed him ten thousand or eight thousand silver.
"Yes, let alone others, I lost nearly 30,000 taels of silver in the Xuan Mansion. Huh, long live my Lord, this is really too much..." The rich old man Liu stroked his big brother.
The jasper plate on his thumb had a look of resentment on his face. "It's completely a forced purchase and sale, and it also forces me to wait to pay taxes. What kind of rules is this?"
"I would like you two to be careful about what you say in this place where pedestrians come and go." At this moment, Mr. Hu cleared his throat, glanced at the two people with a slightly displeased look, and said slowly and solemnly.
.
"Haha, Mr. Hu, it's not that I have a grudge against Long Live Lord, but it's actually the Xuanfu Trading Company that is too arrogant. Now in the north, it's really hard for us and Jiangnan merchants to get involved..." Then
The famous and wealthy old man smiled and continued to say.
