"A year ago, the scale of our Yao's wooden workshop was much smaller than it is now. ”

Zhou Zhicheng sorted out the language and said slowly.

A year ago, Yao's Wood Workshop was just the most ordinary carpenter's workshop, and it was rated as Level 5 when it was rated three years ago.

Soon after the grading, the apprenticeship trial began, and as soon as the specific rules were promulgated, Master Yao was dumbfounded in combination with the previous inheritance regulations.

There is only one place in a workshop, and one person must enter the Hundred Crafts Examination within three years, which means that all hopes must be pinned on a disciple, which is too difficult, right?

But fortunately, they also had Zhou Zhicheng at that time, and the ability to visually cut off the distance was simply born for carpenters.

With such a genius disciple here, there is basically no need to worry about the apprenticeship test.

As a result, no one expected that before the apprenticeship test started, Zhou Zhicheng had an accident first.

A finger amputation is equivalent to the eternal severance of hope of becoming a carpenter.

When it happened, Master Yao lamented what happened to his beloved disciple and worried about the future of Yao's wooden workshop.

Zhou Zhicheng had an accident in the Ziyi Gongfang, and in order to suppress this matter and seal their mouths, the Ziyi Gongshu gave Yao's Mufang another year so that they could re-select their disciples to take the exam from scratch.

But without Zhou Zhicheng, where would they find a disciple who had passed the apprenticeship test?

For this reason, Master Yao returned the sword and thought of another way.

He spent his life's savings to upgrade Yao's Wood Workshop and expand its size, while applying for grading again.

If Yao's Wood Workshop can be successfully promoted to Level 4 Workshop, they will be able to have twenty places. Twenty places, the probability is definitely a lot, and a more advanced wooden workshop can also attract more disciples......

Master Yao is not without courage, but after a piece of paper, all his investment was wasted.

The workshop upgrade did not pass, they are still a level 5 wooden workshop, and there is still only one apprentice test place......

Zhou Zhicheng looked at Xu Wen and said, "At that time, you rejected my master and decided to worship Master Lian as a teacher. But I really didn't expect that Master Lian got another twenty places, all of which were counted in our name......"

I didn't expect Xu Wen to do so well in the exam, and even the position of the head of the object was included in the bag.

Zhou Zhicheng's expression softened a lot, and asked Dongfang Lei: "What is the situation in your workshop?"

Dongfang Lei's workshop is not as lucky as Yao's Wood Workshop.

First of all, there is no such unfathomable restoration master as Lian Tianqing in their workshop, nor is there such a leader of the study group as Xu Wen, who is deeply baptized by modern thought and has a strong logical and organized nature, and his master's net worth is not as rich as Master Yao, and he has no capital to expand his own workshop at all.

The workshop where he worked was just the simplest semi-family workshop, and he lost the qualification to hold it, so he had to disband.

Dongfang Lei finished introducing his own situation in a few words, his expression was flat, but no one could see a trace of melancholy hidden under it.

The wheels kept moving forward, and the roadside foliage brushed over the carport, making a rattling sound, and poked its head into the window.

Dongfang Lei casually grabbed a long leaf and bit it in his mouth, and said seemingly easily: "But even if the workshop is disbanded, I still want to do this business." I'm used to touching wood, so I can't touch these things in the future, I'm really not used to it!"

Xu Wen was thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "What will happen after the disbandment?

"That's not all. Zhou Zhicheng said, "If you insist on doing it, the government will not stop you." You can get a little job by relying on your previous reputation, but it's not easy to take a raw customer. Visitors want to recognize Huang Qi, there is no Huang Qi without a level, no Huang Qi, who knows who you are. ”

Zhou Zhicheng only knew a little about this, and he tried his best to explain, but he didn't say it too clearly. But Xu Wen combined with what he saw and heard in another world, and he still had a general understanding of what was going on.

The Workshop Rating is semi-mandatory, and after the rating, a license is issued, called Yellow Deed, which is equivalent to the Workshop's business license.

The Yellow Deed is the official certification of the workshop, and only with the Yellow Deed, the workshop will be included in the formal system, accept management, and also enjoy some rights and interests.

For example, some of the projects arranged by the imperial court will only be distributed to workshops with yellow deeds, and customers will increasingly be inclined to look for workshop helpers with yellow deeds.

In a short period of time, a workshop without Huangqi may not be able to receive work immediately, but what will happen after a long time can be seen by anyone with eyes.

"My master has contacted a fourth-level workshop to merge our family. Now we are discussing, and it is estimated that we will not be able to finish discussing it for a while. Dongfang Lei said.

In an instant, Xu Wen suddenly realized.

He understood why there was such a rule.

Perhaps in order to facilitate management, perhaps to make the scale of the number of workshops larger, or perhaps to allow the circulation of technology, the government deliberately created such a situation, allowing small workshops to join large workshops, and large workshops to merge small workshops.

Although the rules of the apprenticeship test are strict, they actually give the small workshop a room for hope and buffer, of course, hope is shattered, and they can only choose the only path after all.

In the general direction, such a push is beneficial.

But if you step so fast and fast, it's easy to go wrong......

Xu Wen pondered, and on the other side, Zhou Zhicheng asked Dongfang Lei: "If you merge, a big apprentice like you should be able to take it over together, right? Why did your master let you go home to farm?"

"I don't know what Master thinks......" Dongfang Lei was a little dazed, but became firm again in an instant, "But even if Master says it, I don't want to go over!

The second round of the apprenticeship test seems to have opened a new door for Dongfang Lei. He's honest, but he also knows what's good.

After the exam, he ran to the gate of the county government for the first time, squeezed into the crowd, and stared at the wooden barrel for a long, long time.

He knew that there would be no better opportunity in his life.

The carriage was still much faster than walking, and they set off at noon, and when it was getting dark, they had already arrived at Xiaoheng Village.

The twilight is deep, and the whole small horizontal village is immersed in a purple-red halo, quiet and peaceful.

Xu Wen retracted his thoughts, lifted the curtain and looked outside, his gaze swept over those familiar scenes one by one. He found that he hadn't been away for too long, and he had missed it a little.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm home!" the other brothers and sisters also clamored, a little impatient.

Family...... Is it?

When Xu Wen heard this word, he was stunned.

At the same time, he saw a slender shadow standing under the big tree at the head of the village, leaning against the tree and looking this way.

The moment his gaze touched the shadow, Xu Wen's heart beat faster.
