"Seventy-five days, three thousand Tiger Ben knives."
Xiao Zongshui put the knife in his hand into the box, closed the lid, patted it, and said slowly, "Zhou Shu, I saw the right person, you did better than I thought." p>
"Where."
Zhou Shu said modestly, "It's all because of your leadership, Chief Xiao, that we were able to complete the task so quickly."
"You did a good job this time." Xiao Zongshui said noncommittally, "I keep my word. For each of the three thousand Tiger Ben knives, I will reward you one tael of silver, for a total of three thousand taels."
"Zhou Shu, go get it later and share it with everyone."
There was a suppressed cheer from the crowd.
Three thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money.
The monthly salary of the weapon-making apprentices present ranges from half a tael of silver to one tael of silver. Even if they earn one tael or three thousand taels a month, it will take them 250 years to earn it.
Although everyone had said before that they would give the bounty to Zhou Shu, everyone was still a little excited when they heard such a large amount of money.
Zhou Shu's expression was calm, but his heart was slightly disturbed.
In terms of commodity prices, one tael of silver in this world is roughly equivalent to four thousand yuan in his previous life. In other words, his monthly salary of half a tael is equivalent to a monthly salary of two thousand...
Three thousand taels of silver is twelve million!
Having been at the bottom of the labor force his whole life, the biggest sum of money Zhou Shu had ever seen was probably the one hundred taels that Xiao Zongshui gave him before.
Now that we have a huge sum of three thousand taels in front of us, should we distribute it to everyone?
Or do you have a darker heart and keep it all to yourself?
Anyway, they all said that the bounty should be given to themselves!
"Everyone has worked hard these days, so I am in charge and will give you a day off!"
Xiao Zongshui waved his hand and said very "kindly".
"The person in charge is wise!"
Everyone cheered again.
The weapon-making apprentices of the Weapon-making Department are not slaves. In a sense, they should be regarded as the working class.
It's just that their work intensity is a bit more intense, and they are often exhausted...
According to the regulations of the Weapon Forging Department, the Weapon Forging Apprentices can actually take one day off per month, but in fact, very few Weapon Forging Apprentices take a break.
Because the workload is there, if you don’t work overtime all year round, you won’t be able to complete the task.
If you can't complete the task, the Weapon Master will not talk to you about human rights and labor laws——
Now there is no need to worry about the workload. A real day off is a good thing for everyone.
Zhou Shu didn't feel anything about this. This Weapon Making Division was more ruthless than the capitalists in the previous life. Those capitalists were only nine-nine-six. Here, they work all year round.
Weaponry apprentices are used to being exploited, so they are so grateful for being given a little sweetness.
Xiao Zongshui left with great satisfaction. Zhou Shu looked at the excited people and complained in his heart.
"Brother Zhang, please come with me to get money from Mr. Xiao later."
Zhou Shu said, "Then everyone divides the money!"
"Brother Zhou."
Zhang Yibei shook his head, "As agreed, our bounty will be given to you, Brother Zhou, as our tuition."
Wu Laoliu and others opened their mouths, but no one objected.
This time everyone received a lot of bounty. On average, one person can get forty or fifty taels, which is equivalent to five or six years of their wages.
But the breathing method Zhou Shu taught them is priceless.
After learning the breathing method, their weapon-making skills have greatly improved. It can be expected that their wages will rise soon. This is a steady stream of income.
What's more, after learning the breathing method, they can forge soldiers much more easily than before, which means that they are less likely to be exhausted to death, which cannot be measured by how much money they have.
After all, they definitely made a profit!
"I told you, I'm not teaching you breathing techniques for money." Zhou Shu shook his head, but in the end his conscience prevailed.
These are all bitterness. If you are greedy for their money, you will not be able to spend it happily.
"Brother Zhou, we are all rough people and there is nothing we can do to repay you."
Zhang Yibei said seriously, "This is our intention. If you don't accept it, we people will not be able to sleep well at night."
"Yes, Brother Zhou, just accept it."
Wu Laoliu also gritted his teeth and said, "Although we all have families, our wages are enough to support our families and we won't starve to death."
"You are still young and have money in your hands. You will be more confident when you propose marriage in the future."
"Brother Zhou, in the storyteller's words, I think you are definitely not a thing in the pool." Zhang Yibei continued, "Your weapon casting skills are superb. You may have the opportunity to become a weapon casting master in the future.
."
"Although the Weapon Master has a respected status, he also spends a lot of money on a daily basis. You don't have any financial resources. If you have the opportunity to save money now, then save more."
"This is what I've said from the bottom of my heart, don't blame me for talking..."
Zhang Yibei said naggingly.
After more than two months, Zhang Yibei now recognizes himself.
After learning the breathing method taught by Zhou Shu, Zhang Yibei felt that his weapon-making skills were improving every day.
But the more he improves, the more he realizes how far the gap is between himself and the armorer.
He once thought that he was only one step away from the secret recipe for forging high-grade weapons, but now he realized that the distance between him and the weapon maker was a world of difference.
He had to admit that the gap between people was sometimes too great.
He no longer expects to become a weapon maker. He is already lucky to learn the breathing method.
If you ask for more, you will be struck by lightning.
Zhou Shu didn't think too much about Zhang Yibei's words. Of course he would become a weapon maker in the future.
There is no doubt about this.
As for whether the Weaponsmith spends a lot of money, do we need to consider it?
It's money for a weaponsmith to cast just a few high-quality weapons.
Zhou Shuke has heard that it is the worst quality weapon, and its value is hundreds of times that of ordinary standard weapons.
At that time, will you still worry about having no money?
Poverty has limited Zhang Yibei's imagination. Three thousand taels of silver, for a weapons maker, is just a matter of casting a few weapons.
He has a bright future ahead of him, so why would he stain his conscience just for such a small amount of money?
Well, Zhou Shu just wants to feel at ease. Whether he is good or not is not important.
"Brother Zhang, to put it bluntly, it's easier for me to make money than you." Zhou Shu chuckled and said to everyone in Zhang Yibei, "That's it, split the money and take a vacation!"
"Brother Zhou——"
Zhang Yibei, Wu Laoliu and others looked moved, their eyes were red, and they reached out to grab Zhou Shu's arm.
Zhou Shu quickly dodged, "Don't be like a girl, Brother Zhang, Brother Wu, let's go and get the money."
Three thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money, and Xiao Zongshui naturally will not prepare so much cash.
After everyone discussed it, the bounty was distributed according to everyone's merit, and then they were registered in the workshop, and the next time wages were paid, they were settled together.
After completing the registration, everyone was a little excited.
The bounty was distributed, and some were allocated seventy or eighty taels, while some were allocated forty or fifty taels.
As for Zhou Shu, he forged the largest number of weapons among all the people, with a total of 150, and the reward was naturally the highest.
For the reward of one hundred and fifty taels, Xiao Zongshui gave him one hundred and fifty taels of silver notes on the spot.
With a huge sum of two hundred and fifty taels in his arms, Zhou Shu stood at the gate of the No. 97 Workshop of the Weapon Casting Department. In front of him was the prosperous Imperial Capital of Daxia, but he didn't know where to go.
Although his predecessor was born in the imperial capital of Daxia, he has lived in the workshop of the Weaponry Division for most of his life and has almost never gone out.
In addition, he has no relatives or friends here, and he suddenly has a day off, and he doesn’t know what to do.
"Go to Goulan and listen to some music?"
Zhou Shu thought of plots often seen in past life time travel novels, and I have to say that he was a little excited just thinking about it.
But where is the check bar?
Zhou Shu was a little confused again. You can't just pick someone up on the street and ask them where the hook is, right?
"How about a good meal first?"
The fine tradition of the Chinese nation is to have a big meal first after making money.
You can stop anyone and ask about this.
He stopped a gorgeously dressed passerby and said, "Brother, may I ask, which is the best restaurant in Chang'an?"
With a huge sum of two hundred and fifty taels, if you want to eat, just eat the most expensive one!
The passerby he stopped looked at him up and down with a strange look on his face, "Are you asking about the best restaurant in Chang'an City?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"Oh, no problem."
The passerby laughed and said, "The best restaurant in Chang'an City is Sihailou. A meal costs at least a hundred taels of silver. Are you sure you can afford it?"
"One hundred taels for a meal?" Zhou Shu was stunned. Although he had a huge sum of two hundred and fifty taels, spending half of it on a meal seemed a bit too extravagant...
One hundred taels is equivalent to four to five hundred thousand in the previous life, right? What kind of food is needed to spend so much money on one meal?
The life of a rich person is really simple and unpretentious.
Zhou Shu complained, "Um - I'm just asking, are there any that are a little lower grade?"
Although he has a bright future, for now, he really can't bear to spend one hundred taels on a meal.
"Of course." The passerby laughed, pointed forward, and said nonchalantly, "Go forward along this road, turn right after two intersections, turn left after three intersections, and then go straight.
When you cross the intersection, you can see the sign of a pub."
"The prices there are cheap, the portions are large, and the taste is pretty good. It's definitely suitable for you."
"When it's time to mention my name, I'll get a discount. Let's go, you're welcome."
The passerby swayed and continued to walk forward, turning his back to Zhou Shu and waving his hands.
Zhou Shu opened his mouth. Is it so arrogant to stop just anyone?
Is this a person from the Imperial Capital? Anyone who blocks a passerby is a big shot?
Can you get a discount by stating your name?
How much discount?
Isn't it a fracture?
"Um - brother, you haven't told me your name yet!"
