Chapter 514 Blacksmith
She glanced around, saw the flower pot in the corner, and asked, "When was this flower placed here?"
Chunlan said: "I placed it after I came back."
Nangong Anshan nodded: "No wonder."
The queen heard the words and came over and asked, "Ashan, what's wrong with this flower?"
Nangong Anshan said: "Madam, this flower is called Yudonghua. It can bloom beautifully in winter and is extremely cold-resistant, but it is only suitable to be placed outside, in a place where the air is not circulated indoors. Its fragrance will stimulate people's consciousness. , making people sleep restlessly at night and affecting people's lifespan."
The people present were shocked at the same time.
The queen said in horror: "How could this happen? This flower is so beautiful, but is it poisonous?"
"Yes, may I ask who presented this potted flower?"
Queen said: "It's my maid, Yulan."
Magnolia?
She remembers being the most beautiful and youngest of the Queen's maids.
Nangong Anshan whispered her thoughts.
"What? Yulan has taken a fancy to His Majesty?"
"Yes, actually on the way back, I felt something was wrong with her, but there was no evidence. The way she looked at His Majesty was the way she looked at an admirer."
The queen frowned, it was indeed possible, and immediately ordered someone to arrest Yulan for interrogation.
Nangong Anshan was relieved, and continued talking to the queen.
After the emperor arrived, she said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing I forgot to mention just now. I want to ask you, can you count the rewards you said earlier?"
Dugu Li smiled and said: "Of course it counts, you tell me, as long as it is what I can give, I can give it."
"Okay, then I want the right to mine an iron mine."
"Iron ore? Do you want to forge iron?"
"Well, I have other uses, but don't worry, I won't use your existing iron ore. I will find it myself and find it again. In addition, I promise you that I will not make weapons, even if it is If you want to make it, your consent will also be sought”
"Okay, I promise you, after you find the iron ore, you can use it, and I will settle the rest for you."
Nangong Anshan was overjoyed immediately, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, if you want mines in the future, just tell me that I can find mines not only from my own country, but also from other countries."
Dugu Li smiled and said: "Okay, I will talk to you if necessary."
"The court lady resigned."
After Nangong Anshan left the hidden residence, she did not leave Blue Cloud City for the time being, but went for a stroll.
As for the cement, the people below will do it after the order, and she doesn't have to keep guarding it.
She came to the location of the new palace, and many places had already been demolished.
Some places have also begun to dig ditches and lay foundations.
Some people are reluctant to part with their residences, looking at the collapsed houses, their eyes are extremely sad.
Nangong Anshan saw a group of people surrounding her, so she stepped forward curiously.
I saw three people sitting on the ground, wiping their tears.
"Master, the house has collapsed. It is useless for you to continue sitting here. The owner will not hire us. We can open our own shop. At worst, we can go to the countryside. We can support ourselves by farming."
"That's right, the money we have earned these years is enough for us to build a good shop."
"That's right, don't you dislike the narrowness and smallness of this place? We can just build a big one, so that you can use your abilities better."
A man in his 30s and 40s cried and said: "But I can't bear to be here. I am a nostalgic person. I grew up here. Now it's more uncomfortable to let me leave suddenly than to kill me. Now I don't want to die." There is a war, do you really think it is so easy to find blacksmith jobs? Didn’t you look for it before? You are not wanted anywhere. Building a shop? We simply don’t have enough money!”
Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows, it turned out that it was because of work.
She suddenly asked a few words to the person next to her, and after getting the answer, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Everyone, I heard that your blacksmithing skills are very good?"
The three said at the same time: "Yes."
It's pretty cute.
"How much was your previous job a month?"
"I am twelve."
"I am an apprentice, only three or two."
"Me too, only three or two."
Nangong Anshan continued: "If I ask you to help me forge iron with twenty taels of silver per month, will you accept it?"
The three stood up at the same time.
"Twenty taels a month?"
"right."
"Twenty taels a month for one person?"
"right."
"There are three of us here, a total of sixty taels?"
"Exactly."
The three of them took a step back and discussed in low voices.
After a while, the older man said: "I am their master. If my salary is the same as theirs, then I will be at a loss. I know a lot more than they do."
Nangong Anshan nodded: "That's the truth, why don't you give you thirty taels a month, and your disciples each have fifteen taels, how about it?"
The faces of the three of them turned black.
This is not the same as no price increase.
The money they spent as apprentices was originally placed with the master.
The older man said anxiously: "I mean, the money of my apprentices remains the same, and you can increase my salary."
Nangong Anshan looked embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, said: "Okay, so, as a master, it is twenty-five taels a month, and an apprentice is still twenty taels a month, how about it?"
The three of them laughed at the same time, "Yes."
"What are your names?"
The older man said: "My name is Li Quan. The two of them are brothers. I picked them up. They are called Li Fu and Li Shou."
"The names are all good, where do you live now?"
"Temporarily staying at a relative's house."
"Go and pack your things. Follow me in the future. I will provide housing for one year. After one year, you will have to build your own house."
"yes."
Nangong Anshan suddenly said seriously: "But I still have one prerequisite."
Li Quan said: "Say it."
"If your workmanship can't meet my requirements, then I can fire you at any time and ask you to leave the accommodation I provided. Of course, I can pay you the wages by the number of days."
Li Quan said confidently: "Don't worry, our craftsmanship will definitely satisfy you. If you can't meet your requirements, we don't need you to tell us, we will leave on our own."
"Okay, go and pack your things. We will meet here again in an hour, and we will go back to my house together."
"Okay, girl."
After two hours
Nangong Anshan took Li Quan and his apprentice back to a newly built workshop in Liuye Village.
"There are many rooms here, you can just find one to live in. As you can see, here are only the tools for blacksmithing. As for other sinks and so on, I will ask the construction team to come over later. , you tell them yourself, in other words, here you design it yourself, design it as convenient as you like.”
