Chapter 1340 Retirement Life (2)
Chapter 1340 Retirement Life (2)
Another old man never married and devoted himself to his craft. He wasted his entire life learning the craft and took in many apprentices. However, when the apprentices became masters, the master became redundant.
They had all inherited his inheritance and promised to take care of him in his old age, but after two years, they kicked him out.
He is old and can no longer earn money from his skills, so he can only beg everywhere.
Because the people in the main city had no choice, he followed everyone on the road.
Came to Heyang City.
No one looked up to him in other places, but Fang Chen gave him a job so that he could earn a living.
The experience of the other old man was similar. He was also kicked out of the house by his family as a burden. However, he met a boy who took care of him all the way.
The last person's situation was completely different from theirs. Because he didn't want to be a burden to his family, during the most difficult times, his son and daughter-in-law would rather starve themselves than give him a meal. This was the only way for an old man like him to travel thousands of miles to Heyang City.
When he came here, he wanted to do some work to improve his family's lives. When he heard that Fang Chen was recruiting skilled workers, he took the initiative to come here.
Fang Chen looked at the four old men in front of him and nodded.
"On behalf of the people of Heyang City, I would like to thank you four." Fang Chen smiled at the four people.
"General, please don't embarrass us. We are worthless and cannot accept your courtesy." The four men quickly dodged.
"The general's name is something we will always remember in our hearts. The general is our benefactor."
"Yes! General, we are all nobody, we just know some skills, we are not worthy of your gift."
The four of them saluted Fang Chen. Fang Chen chuckled, arranged the four of them, and called in the young master and apprentice to let the old man give them lessons.
Four old men, an old blacksmith, an old carpenter, an old stonemason, and an old architect.
They are all the talents that Heyang City needs most now.
Fang Chen also specially brought Ji Xiaomu's drawings. After the architect saw the drawings drawn by Ji Xiaomu, he was amazed and begged to meet Ji Xiaomu.
When Ji Xiaomu came over, she thought something had happened and looked at the old man. The old man took Ji Xiaomu's drawings and asked Ji Xiaomu about her ideas when she designed them.
"Madam, why did you design this place like this?" The old man called himself Lao Yu and looked at Ji Xiaomu, expecting her answer.
When Ji Xiao-niang heard what Lao Yu said, she pointed to the drawing and explained for him. "Here, wood can be burned to generate heat, and the heat will flow upwards and bring the heat to..."
As soon as Ji Xiaomu finished her answer, Lao Yu's eyes lit up. "So that's it..."
"What about this place..." Old Yu kept asking Ji Xiaomu, like a curious baby, who was very curious about everything.
Fang Chen looked at Lao Yu and frowned at him. Why did he look so unreliable?
Ji Xiaomu chuckled, not showing any impatience at all, but tried her best to explain her ideas. After all, the drawing was her idea.
After listening to Ji Xiaomu's explanation, Lao Yu took a pen and started drawing on Ji Xiaomu's drawing. Ji Xiaomu watched as Lao Yu marked out the shortcomings in her design with just a few strokes and also provided solutions.
Ji Xiaou's eyes lit up as she looked at Fang Chen, and Fang Chen hurried over to take a look.
"Mr. Yu, you really have a stroke of genius!" Ji Xiaomu praised, "All the problems were solved with just two strokes of your pen!"
