Touching the exquisite carvings on the armrest, he secretly made up his mind that he would get Jiang Zhong to make some for himself later. This thing was more comfortable than sitting on a couch!
"If Little Lord does not have any other instructions, I will take my leave first!”
After completing the mission, Jiang Zhong cupped his hands and bid farewell.
As the most unpopular department, if there was no special call, he did not even need to go to the morning court.
Ever since he took office, the days of morning court could be counted on one hand.
Facing their cold-blooded emperor and two young masters, it would be a lie if they weren't nervous!
"Wait…!"
However, before Ying Zheng could speak, Ying Pingan jumped down from his chair to stop him.
"Little Lord, do you have any other instructions?"
Jiang Zhong bowed respectfully, his little heart thumping. Could it be that he didn't like it?
It shouldn't be. Looking at their expressions, they should like it!
If he really did not like it, His Majesty would definitely dismiss him. What would happen to a family of more than ten people?
He had learned craftsmanship from his master since he was young. It was not easy for him to rise from an ordinary craftsman to Zuo Cheng. Although his salary was not high, it was enough to support his family. Once he lost his official position, his entire family would starve.
At the thought of this, Jiang Zhong panicked and his official uniform was drenched in cold sweat! "Are you the best cook in the prison?”
Ying Pingan stood in front of Jiang Zhong with his hands behind his back, his head raised.
"Little Lord, I can't say that he's the best, but he has a certain level of attainment!”
Jiang Zhong cupped his hands and said humbly.
"How much is the salary?"
"Um…"
Ying Pingan's question stumped Jiang Zhong.
If he said that the salary was not high, I'm afraid His Majesty would be unhappy and think that he disliked the salary.
If he said that it was high, then it was pure nonsense. He could not lie with his eyes open.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Ying Zheng guiltily, then said with slight embarrassment,""This official's official position is insignificant. Thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, it's enough for the entire family to live on!”
After thinking about it, this was the only way to not offend anyone!
"Ping 'an, why are you asking this?”
Ying Zheng was puzzled.
"Of course it's to poach talent!"
Ying Pingan grinned and responded, then looked at Jiang Zhong," Do you want to earn some extra money?”
As he spoke, he twirled his fingers.
"External…fast?"
Jiang Zhong was dumbfounded.
What did he mean?
What was extra money?
"Sigh! A blockhead, other than salary, did he still want to earn some money?”
Ying Pingan jumped up and gave Jiang Zhong a blow on the head.
" It's said that scholars 'brains are like elm wood. I think this guy's brain is similar. He has already expressed it clearly enough, but this kid still doesn't understand.
"Of course I want to make money, but…!”
Jiang Zhong spread his hands and looked at Ying Zheng with a guilty look.
The general supervisor was in charge of the construction of palaces, ancestral temples, and mausoleums. Other than salaries, he had no other income.
Unlike the other ministers who could plunder the people's wealth.
However, he was only dealing with some wood and poor craftsmen. How could he have the money to plunder? "That's good…!"
Ying Pingan immediately snapped his fingers and said," Father wants me to pick people to make paper. I think you're not bad!”
This guy had become a general at such a young age, so he must have some ability. Moreover, he dealt with wood all day long, so he must have some understanding of these things. He was the most suitable person to make paper!
"Paper? Paper making? The one that the Little Lord used when he was drawing the blueprint?”
Jiang Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard the word paper.
A few days ago, Ying Pingan's drawing had completely shocked him. Other than the new tables and chairs on the drawing, there was also the paper itself.
Previously, he could only choose silk, bamboo slips, or sheepskin to draw blueprints. No matter which one, the cost was high and it was inconvenient to carry.
Paper was different. It was clear in black and white, light and easy to carry. It was a good material for drawing blueprints.
If it could really be mass-produced, it would be even more convenient for them to build houses and draw drawings in the future!
"Yes, paper is beneficial to the country and the people. Father has already ordered a large number of them to be manufactured. Later, go to the general supervisor and choose a few capable helpers.”
"As for the salary, we'll double it for everyone!”
Ying Pingan waved his small hands and promised Jiang Zhong.
If it wasn't for the table and chairs incident, Jiang Zhong definitely wouldn't have believed Ying Pingan's words. He would have thought that Ying Pingan was joking with him.
However, after seeing the paper and the table and chairs drawn by Ying Pingan, Jiang Zhong did not think so.
Although this young master was young, his intelligence was outstanding.
There were already legends about him in the palace, saying that he was the disciple of some immortal, the descendant of the dragon!
Moreover, Ying Zheng was sitting right in this chamber, and he had heard Ying Pingan's words clearly. Since Ying Pingan had not said anything, it meant that he had tacitly agreed to this matter!
This was simply a pie falling from the sky.
He had done a errand for the Little Lord, and he had even picked up such a huge bargain!
Pulp Paper's salary was doubled, and with the court's salary, wouldn't that be three sets of current salary?
In the future, the days at home would be easy!
"What are you thinking about? You don't even agree to such a good thing?"
Ying Zheng, who was standing at the side, said in a deep voice, feeling anxious for Jiang Zhong.
"Yes, yes. I will go back and choose the craftsmen now. I will be at your service at any time!”
After he reacted, Jiang Zhong nodded his head repeatedly in agreement. He cupped his hands and went to do it.
"You brat, you really know how to pick up the loot!" "Didn't Father say it? He can ask for money or people as he pleases. I think this Jiang Zhong is not bad!”
"You can take him back, but the Imperial Court will not be responsible for the double salary you promised!”
Now that the imperial court was spending money everywhere, Ying Zheng didn't want to spend too much money.
It could be done with a salary, so why double the salary on top of that?
"Father, this is the reason why the officials of the imperial court are unable to perform well despite receiving their salaries!”
Ying Pingan jumped onto the chair and rolled his eyes at Ying Zheng.
"What?"
"If you want the horse to work, you have to give the horse enough fodder!”
"To set up a paper workshop, other than the method of making paper, we can't do without these craftsmen. If we don't give them enough money, how can they work hard?”
"Besides, the general supervisor is clearly the place where the craftsmen in the world gather, but it's the most unpopular. In my opinion, we should give these craftsmen an appropriate increase in their status and salary so that they can better research and create!”
Ying Pingan explained a lot of things to Ying Zheng.
