    See the fastest update There is no doubt that King Zhuan is here to force the palace. He understood Zi Baifeng¡¯s temperament and went straight to the point, saying: "Bai Feng, people in the Ming Dynasty do not do secret things. I am here this time to ask for cooperation.  "Of course, Zi Baifeng knew that the person who came here was not a good person, so he said directly: "I am not short of money." "But I have something better than your money, don't you want public relations?  I'll take care of it, how about it?" Prince Zhuan said.  ¡°After all, he is King Zhuan, the king of his vassal country. He has an official status and cannot be ignored wherever he goes. If he comes forward, the effect is indeed much better than that of the juniors.  The two people bargained and finally reached an agreement on relatively harsh terms. ?? King Zhuan invested 30%, but only accounted for 20% of the income, and he also had to help with various public relations. Even so, King Zhuan knew that he had made a lot of money, and left happily.  King Zhuan was sent away, but two people stayed behind, namely He Xiuwo's ??father He Xuzui and his younger brother He Xuzui. Although Lord He lost power, he had served in the Ministry of Works for such a long time and was responsible for the establishment and management of large-scale projects.  I have great experience in this aspect and is indeed the most suitable contact person right now.  After the death of He Zi, the new successor of the He family must be well groomed.  Compared with He Sui's dissolute behavior, He Sui Zui was much shyer. When he saw Zi Baifeng, he called out a little awkwardly: "Little Marquis." "Just call me Baifeng. Your brother and I are sworn brothers.  , Your brother did it just for me" Zi Baifeng sighed, looking at Mr. He and his son in front of him, his heart was complicated and unspeakable.  Master He is not actually to blame for the rebellion of the Zhongshan sect, but at the same time, he cannot escape the blame, but He Xiuxi is innocent.  "Thank you, Young Marquis, for protecting my He family." Mr. He knew that after the Zhongshan Sect's catastrophe, although their He family lost power, they still did not receive much punishment. It was indeed Zi Baifeng who was in the middle.  A lot of work.  Zi Baifeng shook his head, not knowing what to say.  A few people from the Dangui League came over and pulled He Fei drunk to the side, chattering. Zi Baifeng and Mr. He discussed specific cooperation matters. In just a few words, Zi Baifeng felt that Mr. He was extraordinary, and Mr. He did it.  After a lifetime of working in the Ministry of Industry, what experience can Zi Baifeng compare with?  While Zi Baifeng was discussing with Lord He, Zijian was also packed up and ready to go out.  After returning to his original form, he put the four little monsters into the tool box and changed into a short outfit of coarse cloth. Zijian acted like an ordinary craftsman in a low-key manner. Before leaving the door, Xiaoshi Shitou followed him, wanting to follow him.  But Zijian drove him back. He was out doing business this time and had no time to take care of Xiao Shitou.  Taxue was sitting bored at the door. When she saw Zijian going out, she followed him, turned into a human body, and pushed Zijian's lower back, which meant that he was taking him there.  Today Zijian really wanted to run a few more places, so he got on the snow and trotted away.  Xiao Shitou was very bored at home. There were almost no peers of the same age with him. Xiaopan and Yan Xiaolei didn't play around with him. He was bored and panicked. When he saw the three members of Hong Gu Niang's family carrying red drums on their backs and going out, he hurriedly  He came up to her, said a few words, and then moved closer to Red Drum Girl. She stretched out her hand to lead Hui'er and followed her away.  Then a lot of people went out one after another and began to implement Zi Baifeng¡¯s money-making plan.  After Zijian went out, he asked a few people and went straight to the nearest labor market.  The first thing you need to build a house are carpenters and bricklayers. If you want to hire enough carpenters and bricklayers, you must first understand the market of the entire city.  Riding on the snow, I walked through the stone-paved street, bypassed two alleys, and came to an empty field. The empty field was about three to five acres in size. Many people gathered there, wearing clothes covered with plaster.  clothes, standing or squatting.  Seeing Zijian coming, the few who were close glanced over. When they saw the toolbox in Zijian's hand, they looked away again and continued chatting.  ¡°Why hasn¡¯t that big customer you mentioned come yet?¡± a carpenter asked the mason next to him.  "You're the only one who still wants to go? Don't even think about it." The mason sneered at the carpenter, "Yesterday even Mr. Dai had to work as a laborer, and in the evening we paid the bill and let him go. That's not true  , Dai Tou'er is squatting there. He is working hard today. He wants to be a big worker no matter what. "" With Dai Tou'er's skills, he can only be a small worker. How much does it cost?" asked the carpenter.  .  "I'm just talking about being a big customer. The price of a small worker is higher than that of other big workers. The price of a small worker is 400 taels of silver. A big worker is worth one tael of silver. Even the handyman is 100 taels of silver." "One day? One tael of silver? Oh, do it.  Last year, I was able to buy an apartment in Nanting.?.  " "Isn't it?  I just worked as a handyman yesterday. I didn't do much work, but I still made 100 yuan, which was considered a profit.  Your boy's skills are not even half as good as your old man's, which means he only earns 30 cents a day as a porter.  " Zijian listened to their conversation and turned to look in the direction where they said Dai Tou'er. Dai Tou'er was a man in his forties, with a strong build and thick hands with protruding joints.  A tool box. The tool box is very old, but it is well maintained. It is not painted, but it has a thick layer of patina and is shiny. I don¡¯t know how many years it has been used. The tool box is half open, revealing the inside.  The handles of each tool are like this, with a shiny yellow color. It is obvious that he rubs these tools every day. He holds a dry cigarette in his hand, which has been stuffed with tobacco, but he has not lit it.  Zijian walked over with his toolbox, squatted down and touched his body, but he took out a delicate wooden box, took out a cigarette from it, and put it to his nose to smell it.  Just after opening the box, a spicy aroma of tobacco wafted out. Many craftsmen were old smokers. When they smelled this completely different tobacco smell, they immediately felt like they were being dragged by the neck.  The head came, and Dai Tou'er was no exception. He turned his head half a circle, stared at the tobacco in Zijian's hand, and asked: "What kind of cigarette is this?  " "The tobacco I grew myself, my son named it Laxianjun, which is a bit harsh.  " "It's very strong" Dai Tou'er stretched his neck and smelled the smell. Then his eyes fell on the cigarette case in Zijian's hand, but he couldn't turn his eyes away. His eyes were not looking at the cigarette.  But look at the cigarette case. After the cigarette case is fastened, there is no need for sealing or leather.  I didn¡¯t smell it. The cigarette box is made of ebony wood, with a few carvings of landscapes and clouds, but it is very charming. This box alone is expensive, and I can¡¯t even buy it. ¡°I carved it myself.  " Zijian smiled, threw the cigarette in his hand to Dai Tou'er, and took another one from the box. Dai Tou'er took out the fire stick, lit the cigarette for the two of them, and started puffing away together.  The craftsmen around stretched their necks and smoked second-hand smoke. They were intoxicated and intoxicated. A cigarette and a cigarette box made the distance between the two people much closer. Wearing a headband is a sign of knowledge.  If you look at Zijian¡¯s toolbox, his cigarette case, and his hands, you will know that his skills are extraordinary. ¡°What do you call a brother?  "Dai Tou'er asked. "My surname is Zi, and others call me Dajian.  "Zijian said, his last name is more troublesome. Others can neither call him Laozi nor boy, so they can only call him by his first name. But Dai Tou'er has his own way of calling him. He nodded and said: "Brother Zi.  , are you here for that big customer?  " Zijian nodded. Of course he didn't come here for the so-called big customer before, but now he must get a thorough understanding of it. Zijian said: "Brother Dai, did you go to work with me yesterday?  " "Yes, I went to help them do some small work. The work was not much, but the requirements were very high. The boss was very knowledgeable and kept an eye on me. It was not easy to earn these 400 yuan.  "Dai Tou'er said. "Brother Dai, you can only work as a small laborer?  "Zijian asked, "This is really not a low request. I heard that a big worker can get one tael of silver a day?  " "Yes, in addition to large-scale work, there are also fine workmen, who are paid ten taels of silver a day, but I don't see any of them meeting the standard. Yesterday, only three old carpenters in the south of the city were paid one tael of silver.  "As he said this, Dai Touer was still a little unwilling. In fact, the work done by big workers and small workers was similar, but the requirements were higher. He assessed and said, "I didn't take it seriously at the beginning yesterday. If I had known better, I would have shown off my skills  ¡± Zijian was even more surprised after hearing this. What exactly is such a high requirement? This is a big worker who works as a small laborer, a small laborer who works as a handyman, and a handyman who can only be a porter. The labor market is also a hierarchical one.  Generally speaking, there are major workers and minor workers in places. Apprentices who are about to graduate are minor workers. Apprentices who have just been accepted are handymen. Those who are completely unskilled can only work as coolies and work as porters.  Your own price is usually agreed upon, and there is no need to negotiate. You just need to say how many large and small jobs are needed. If the work is not productive or the work is not satisfactory, the employer has the power to downgrade the price. This is a two-way choice.  In the process, those who are unskilled should not think about it, but those who are skilled cannot be buried. Without the diamond, they dare not take the porcelain job. Several people were talking, and there was already a commotion outside, and they were all shouting: "  Come, come, come again!  "Standed up. Daitouer Lianlian"He casually stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, put it away in the tool box, stood up, and said, "The big customer is here, brother Zi, come with me." Zijian followed Dai Tou'er and walked forward.  , It can be seen that Dai Touer is very prestigious. When he walked forward, others also moved out of the way, loudly saying: "Give way, give way, let Dai Touer pass first!"  You are the master of this market.  This status is actually very stable. An old carpenter has an apprentice, and the apprentice will lead another apprentice. In this way, one by one is brought out, and there is a very clear relationship of superiority and inferiority. The apprentices brought out by the leader are all very powerful.  Naturally, the prestige here is very high.  Zijian took advantage of it, and soon reached the front of the crowd. People behind him surrounded him in a circle, and it was suffocating.
