Chapter 182
It is estimated that the couple took about 30%.
Seeing that it was a couple coming, the people outside the sky were extremely surprised. They usually didn't do this at this time. Most of them took their little apprentices out.
"It's like marrying a chicken, following the chicken; marrying a dog, following the dog. If you marry a carpenter like this, you have to follow him to work!" An old man sighed, "But..."
Some young people are envious, thinking that a couple can always take care of each other.
It's much better than being alone.
The couple took apart all the boards. Qi Cheng looked at them carefully and found that each board was marked with its position, a bit like a jigsaw puzzle.
In the middle of the morning, the couple started arguing over a tube of glue. Qi Cheng, who was watching next to them, was stunned. They were working outside, not in your kitchen!
But Qi Cheng didn't say anything. As long as the work was done, he didn't care whether it was done by one person or two.
After the quarrel, the man continued to work, and the woman found a stool and ran to the balcony. Fortunately, she did not cry there.
The people outside the sky were stunned, but they were still a little puzzled as to why the two of them had finished arguing in such a short time. They just loved watching the couple quarreling.
"Oh, I'm afraid of this kind of thing happening. If I were to bring my little apprentice with me, I would have beaten him with a stick long ago, but I can't do that with my wife. Family disgrace should not be made public."
"This isn't a family scandal at all. At most, the couple exchanged a few words. Look, the host didn't say anything at all." Someone said enviously, "The future is still better. Look, the host didn't even prepare a meal."
Not only was there no food prepared, the two of them didn't even eat lunch.
"What do you think is going on? The host didn't prepare any food. Couldn't the two carpenters go buy some for themselves? Why didn't they eat lunch?"
Li Shimin looked at the person who was working hard and was a little puzzled.
"I think it might be related to wages!"
Changsun Wuji explained that ordinary work is of course paid according to time, and you get paid for one day's work, but this is probably not the case for decoration work.
The payment may be based on the number of businesses you work for. The more businesses you work for, the more you earn.
Li Shimin pondered for a while. He felt that this payment method had some advantages. It could motivate the staff. Just think about the officials who didn't even eat and were busy handling official business.
Well, it seems impossible to achieve just by thinking about it.
But is it possible for the Tang Dynasty to implement such a payment system?
Wei Zheng knew what Li Shimin was thinking and quickly reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the officials and the army need stability and cannot be changed at will."
Li Shimin nodded. He planned to go back and ask his two sons after the court session. These two boys were very smart.
Ming Dynasty
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he saw this. He thought it would be great if his officials were like this, as they could even save a meal.
Do you want to try it yourself?
Qi Cheng was hungry, so he let the couple work here and went to a nearby shopping mall to buy some food.
When he came back after dinner, the couple had reconciled.
The people outside the sky watched the cabinets taking shape one by one and then being assembled together. They felt that the cabinets were more and more beautiful. Although there were no carvings on them, they had a simple beauty.
The color looks comfortable too.
"Can we make a cabinet like this now?" asked a young couple planning to get married. "I really think it looks great."
"It can be done, but it's definitely not as good as what's done in later generations. The colors are not easy to adjust."
In the afternoon, the people outside the sky saw Qi Cheng, who had nothing to do, start sending messages frantically. They thought it was some gossip.
