Capítulo 184: Chapter 179: Toad Trade (Requesting Monthly Votes)_1

"Good, very good! Uncle Liu is truly the best carpenter in Yixing Town, his work is top-notch and beautiful!"

Liang Qu was overjoyed, he had not expected Liu Quanfu to exceed the task, feeling as if he had stumbled upon a treasure.

One hundred taels, worth it!

From scholars to farmers, to craftsmen, to merchants, the order seems to indicate a social hierarchy, but in reality, it is not so; it is a division of professions among the people.

Political status does not represent actual status, actual status still depends on money.

Especially as more and more tools become available—saws, planes, chisels, files, adzes...

A carpenter can create a wide variety of intricate items.

In populated and prosperous areas like Pingyang County, an expert carpenter like Liu Quanfu earns much more than farmers.

One can tell the level of craftsmanship from the carvings in Liang Qu's house, earning several taels of silver a month is nothing unusual.
