Nangong Ye sighed and nodded, "Lv Jing injured an arm in order to save me, so he was delayed for a day."

"It's fine, what happened to the bandit?"

"I cleaned it all by myself. The path was a bit long. We ran out of dry food. We ate two meals of bark. We were starving." Nangong Ye said bitterly, "I want to eat meat."

He Lianqi was amused by him, "Okay, eat as much as you want. You go wash up first, after a while chicken, duck, fish and pork, you can eat whatever you want."

"Well, by the way, that group of people have to use porridge with little oil and water to scrape their stomachs first, they are very hungry." Nangong Ye reminded when he left.

"Understood, let's go." He Lianqi was a little glad that he didn't go, Pingjiang... This water pollution still needs to be treated, I don't know when the little emperor will fix it, otherwise sooner or later no one will live there and it will become a wasteland.

It has nothing to do with him, Helian Qi wandered to the kitchen to see the buddy he had found.After seeing another thin young boy, he was stunned for a moment. He remembered that he said that he would not recruit child labor, so why did he bring back someone who was about the same age as his son?

Noticing Helian Qi's gaze, the young boy who was eating porridge trembled in fright.Subconsciously, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, put his hands behind his back, obediently lowered his head, and glanced at him from time to time, almost crying.

He Lianqi showed a smile that he thought he was amiable, and then made people cry, "Woooo—brother."

He Lianqi: "..." Does he look so scary?

"Liang'er, don't cry..." A man hugged him with his other good hand, and apologized to He Lianqi with calm eyes, "My lord, I'm really sorry, the child has never seen a stranger. If I have a little time, I will definitely teach him well."

Does this really make him a bully?Helian Qi was a little embarrassed, "Uh, what's your name?"

The man bent slightly and said, "Villain Lu Jing, this is my younger brother Lu Liang."

Lu Liang hid behind Lu Jing with his mouth pursed, trying to control his tears, he had to be obedient so as not to cause trouble for his brother.

"Nangong told me about you, thank you for saving Nangong. Also, I invited you to work. You should have read the contract. There is a one-month probationary period. If the conduct is not good, you will be fired directly. After the probationary period There is only monthly money, ten taels of silver a month, and eight hours of work a day... er, that is, four hours. If you exceed the time, you will be paid overtime, and generally you will not work overtime. Of course, it will definitely be busy when it is established. Food is included. Hold on, what you do must be kept secret from others, otherwise I have plenty of ways to shut you up completely, understand?"

Helian Qi looked around for a week, and found that no one raised any objections, and they all answered yes respectfully, so he nodded in satisfaction.

It is because they know this that they are the only ones who come.There are also quite a few people in Pingjiang. Although not a majority know how to dye cloth and make paper, there are more people than other places.Those who meet the requirements and are willing to follow are the only ones who really can't make it through.

"Originally, I did not allow child labor. After all, I am a child. I can't do many things and eat too much." He Lianqi's eyes fell on Lu Liang.

Lu Liang tightened his grip on Lu Jing's clothes in fear, and summoned up his courage, "Master... I will eat less."

"The work in the factory is too heavy. I'm afraid it's too much for a young person like you." He Lianqi shook his head again and again. If the child is healthy, it's fine, but this is like a bean sprouts. What if he's exhausted?

Lu Jing knelt down directly, and said in a deep voice: "Young master, the villain and my younger brother have been together since childhood, and they have no relatives and no reason. If the young master refuses to accept him, the villain will have to take him away."

"Brother..." Lu Liang burst into tears, finally had something to eat, is brother going to take him away again?What if there is nothing to eat, and the group of people say to sell my brother to a small restaurant?

He Lianqi's head hurt when he heard him crying, "Okay, I'll tell him not to let him go to the factory. For the sake of saving Nangong's life, your younger brother can be my Xiaoxi's bookboy. However, he thinks Words?"

"I admit it." Lu Liang wiped away his tears, sobbing.

"Then it's such a happy decision, don't cry, my brain hurts." He Lianqi hated children crying the most, the problem was that he made people cry.

"Thank you son!" Lu Jing kowtowed happily, as long as he survived, dignity?what is that?

He Lianqi asked people to get up, and looked at the others, there were many middle-aged people, and a few young ones. "Do you know how to dye cloth?"

"My lord, we are the only ones who know how to dye cloth." A middle-aged man stepped forward and said respectfully, looking at a very gentle person.

"Okay, other people can make paper?"

Lu Jing nodded, "What kind of paper mill do you want to build?" If it's an ordinary paper mill, you don't need to bother to find them, you just need to buy one.

He Lianqi looked at him with satisfaction, "The paper I want to make will not be very expensive, it is made of tree bark and other plant fibers. Dyeing cloth, I want to make the paper into other colors. What? like? Can it be done?"

"Excuse me, when will you want it, my lord?" Lu Jing had this idea before, but something happened at home, and before he could see the result, the things were destroyed.

Helian Qi raised his eyebrows, "You don't seem to be very surprised by this?"

"To be honest, the villain's family has been making paper for generations, and the villain's idea of ​​using tree bark to make paper was shelved only because of some incidents."

"That's fine. Since you have experience, these people are under your control for the time being. Anyone who refuses to obey can speak out with strength. If I find out that you don't obey, you will be responsible for the consequences." The words must be made clear first, as the saying goes. For business, He Lianqi is a person who is afraid of trouble, so troublesome things should be discussed first.

"I know, son."

He Lian Qi looked around, but he didn't find anyone who didn't like it. "That's fine. I'll let someone take you to Zhuangzi in a while. It's just... Lu Liang, right? You have to stay in the general's mansion. Xiaoxi is my son and the young master. Similarly, he will go to supervise the work every afternoon. Just look for him for anything, he’s a little younger, and he’s very good at handling things.”

"Yes."

Lu Liang still wanted to say something, but he looked at his brother and stopped talking.He also knew that it was impossible to be with his elder brother. If he didn't know what to do, he might both be driven away.

"Today your task is to get acquainted with Zhuangzi, and I will go together. Lu Liang, you will stay in Zhuangzi tonight, and come back with Xiaoxi tomorrow. You can take one day off every seven days. Then you can go to your brother, understand? If so If you are crying and disobedient, I will drive you away together." It's okay to coax your own children, but someone else's?Forgive him for not having that leisure time.
