This.....!

Is this a dream?

Zhao Shizhen really couldn't believe it, but it's only five hundred birds, do you want to build such a large ironcraft workshop?

He hurriedly asked Guo Dan how the ironware workshop planned to operate, and whether it was prepared for the production of bird guns.

Although Guo Dan didn't have a good impression of Zhao Shizhen, after all, he was sent by the imperial court, and he was also an official, so he patiently explained to him.

Although he doesn't know much about this industry, especially the current technology, he is even more foggy, but how to operate, this is still ever-changing, that is, standardization and specialization.

Guo Dan intends to reduce the entire R&D and production process to zero.

Divide into nodes to develop one by one.

And it starts from mining, which means that a team will be formed to develop mining to improve the efficiency of mining.

After that, smelting, smelting, forging, and so on are all subdivided as much as possible.

It is conceivable that this R&D team is so large that it is by no means a few people sitting in a room behind closed doors.

Zhao Shizhen was fascinated when he heard it, and for the first time in his life, he felt that it was really good to be rich.

That's burning money!

If the imperial court is willing to burn like this, don't say any bird guns, bird cannons have been made.

After getting drunk, Zhao Shizhen was suddenly in good spirits, and he didn't have the fatigue brought by the rush at all, and he began to talk about some of his thoughts according to Guo Dan's plan.

Talking and talking, Guo Dan was blinded!

Nima! Lao Tzu is really blind, this guy is a talent!

Guo Dan immediately changed his opinion of Zhao Shizhen, because Zhao Shizhen not only knew every firearm well, but even the production process was very clear, and his suggestions were of great help to the construction of the entire ironware workshop.

Guo Dan couldn't help but talk to him seriously, and at the same time humbly listened to his advice.

However, this matter will not be talked about for a while, but Zhao Shizhen's talent has impressed Guo Dan, and he intends to hand over this matter to Zhao Shizhen.

I spend money just to let you do things, and you can do everything yourself, and this money is also unjustly spent.

But that Shen Weijing still made Guo Dan a little suspicious, which involved some secrets.

Taking advantage of Shen Weijing's absence, Guo Dan said: "Master Zhao, I don't like to talk about right and wrong behind my back, but the Mr. Shen next to you seems to be ......" ”

He wanted to speak, but he stopped.

Zhao Shizhen was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Guo Dan's attitude towards him at the beginning, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, and laughed: "I see!" I see! ”

His expression froze, and he said, "I know you're worried, but I'm not as confused as you think .....!" ”

"Director Zhao, I'll ......"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway. It's always right to be cautious. ”

Zhao Shizhen waved his hand and said: "This Mr. Shen, like you, is a businessman, he has few ambitions this year, and he has made military exploits, but unfortunately his luck is not good, this military exploits did not make him embark on a career in office, and then his family fell into the middle of the road, so that he lived in the capital."

At his age, if he didn't do anything, he was afraid that he wouldn't have a chance, so he desperately wanted to get acquainted with some powerful people. However, this person is by no means a smuggler, he is not only brave and resourceful, but also has been with his father to trade in various places since he was a child, he is well-informed, proficient in the Japanese language, and has also seen firearms in places such as Franco, the Japanese Kingdom, and the Western Regions, and it is precisely because of this that I brought him here. ”

"I see."

Guo Dan nodded, thinking, proficient in the Japanese language, this can be used by me, and when I go to sea in the future, I will inevitably have to deal with Japan. smiled again: "Actually, I don't care, I'm not a moral person, how can I be qualified to say others, I'm just afraid... Since Zhao's heart is like a mirror, then I can rest assured. ”

Zhao Shizhen stroked his beard and smiled: "In recent years, I have also heard a lot of rumors about you, and I originally ....... you!" ”

"Hey!"

Guo Dan raised his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say these things again, I never mind what others think of me, I only mind if I can do things well, this is also the best response." ”

Zhao Shizhen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, nodded and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense." ”

They stayed in the canyon for one day, and on the second day they returned to the city.

Guo Dan gave them a vacant house next to the court to live in, but because the ironsmith workshop could not be built for a while, he could not wait until it was built there to produce birds.

Those 500 bird guns are an order from the imperial court.

Therefore, today's ironwork workshops still have to produce bird guns immediately.

Zhao Shizhen finally did his favorite job, instead of writing some copywriting every day in Honglu Temple, dealing with people he hated, he didn't feel any fatigue at all, just a day off, he went to inspect various iron workshops, selected craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship, and set up a research and development team.

Guo Danke likes this kind of workaholic, basically he doesn't plan to take care of this side of the matter, he spent two or three days to implement some of the aftermath of the merger.

After the merger, the ironware workshop was named "Grand Canyon Ironwork Workshop", or "Grand Canyon" for short.

Early in the morning.

"Hoo ---!"

Guo Dan got up early, only to feel relaxed, while stretching his arms, he came to the front yard, and suddenly saw Aunt Xu sitting in the hall drinking tea, so he entered the hall, "Morning layman!" ”

"Morning!"

Aunt Xu glanced at Guo Dan and said, "It seems that your business is over." ”

"Is it that obvious?"

Guo Dan wiped his face, smiled stupidly, and said, "But this is also thanks to Fang Shangshu arranging a capable person to help me, otherwise, how could it be so easy." ”

Aunt Xu said: "Is that the one you mentioned as Chief Zhao?" ”

Guo Dan nodded, and suddenly sighed: "It's really a pity to say, in fact, there is really no shortage of capable people in my Ming Dynasty, but these people can't be reused, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

In fact, he looks down on those pillars of talent, every day is either etiquette or ancestral system, spinning in that place, if Guo Dan is the boss, they would have been expelled a long time ago, who doesn't know that it is good to pick up gold, and I want you to teach.

Aunt Xu said with a smile: "This thing gathers by like, people by group, the capable person in your eyes may just be a person like you, but you are luckier than them and have been favored by His Majesty, otherwise, what is the difference between you and them?" ”

That's a big truth.

Guo Dan snorted: "Come to think of it, this is the reason why we are one man and two women under the same roof." ”

Aunt Xu snorted softly: "Don't implicate the innocent. ”

Guo Dan turned his head to look at Yang Feixu and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't feel the slightest guilt about you, when you sarcastically mock me, you are much more natural than me." ”

Yang Feixu said: "I don't think there's anything wrong with what you said. ”

At this moment, I heard a sharp voice of excitement: "Guo Dan, Guo Dan." ”

Guo Dan turned his head to look outside the house, only to see Ji Gui waving his hand while walking in quickly, and hurriedly got up and said, "Your father-in-law, you can be regarded as back, you really want to kill me." ”

"I don't want you."

Jigui's excitement is a show.

Come on! I'm just polite, you don't really miss me, do you? Guo Dan immediately shuddered.

Aunt Xu also got up and left very interestingly.

Guo Dan welcomed Ji Gui into the house, and after inviting him to sit down, he asked, "I heard that your father-in-law has recently gone to Xinxiang County." ”

"Yes!"

"I don't know why?"

"I'm here to talk to you about this."

Ji Gui took out a very delicate small cloth bag from his sleeve, and carefully took out a delicate small wooden box from the cloth bag, about three inches long, and handed it to Guo Dan, "Look, what is this?" ”

"What's good?"

Guo Dan took it over, opened it and saw that it was a very exquisite, and carved purple small wooden tube, he picked up this small wooden tube and looked at it carefully, and saw that there was a gap in the middle, he pulled it out a little harder, and snapped softly, only to see that it was a red paste, and suddenly exclaimed: "Lipstick." ”

Ji Gui immediately jumped up and exclaimed, "How do you know?" I just developed it. ”

Guo Dan was shocked: "This is developed by my father-in-law?" ”

Ji Gui said: "That's right! It took me more than half a year to figure it out, and someone has already made it, and hey, haven't I been working for nothing? ”

He slapped his thighs with both hands, and he was about to cry.

This... How is this explained for good? Guo Dan's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I have indeed seen this, and it is specially used to treat cold sores." ”

"Cold sores?"

Ji Gui's expression froze.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "That's right!" Isn't this an ointment? ”

Ji Gui suddenly turned his worries into joy, and said: "Of course not, although my lipstick is also used to smear the lips, but it is not to cure diseases, but to look good, and the rouge is a general effect, but it is much better than the rouge." Hehe.....! ”

"Rouge... Rouge. ”

Guo Dan pretended to be stunned.

"That's right!"

Ji Gui said: "Didn't you see that it was red?" ”

"It's... That's a real surprise! Guo Dan had to look at this lipstick.

"Strange."

Ji Gui smiled smugly and said, "Do you want to try it?" ”

"I'll try?"

Guo Dan sneered: "Then it's free, I still think my lips are too red." ”

"Okay then."

Ji Gui suddenly remembered something, and asked nervously: "Guo Dan, do you think this lipstick can make money?" ”

Guo Dan said: "As long as you can be popular, you will definitely make money." ”

"Then dare to be kind, I'll hand it over to your tooth shop to help me sell it."

"Of course it'......!"

Guo Dan suddenly shut up, looked at the lipstick again, and said, "Father-in-law, what is this made of?" ”

Ji Gui glanced at him, immediately understood, stomped his foot, and hummed: "You can rest assured that it will never be poisonous, I can use beeswax, mutton fat, tea, and a kind of safflower to make it, I have applied it many times." ”

"That's no problem, it's definitely profitable, and it's the kind that makes a lot of money." Guo Dan was curious again: "How did my father-in-law come up with this thing?" ”

Ji Gui smiled embarrassedly: "It's not nearly a year, and Weihui Mansion doesn't have anything to do with foreign affairs, I'm really idle, I stay in the rouge shop every day, thinking about finding something to do for myself."

One day I suddenly remembered that I had seen a kind of rouge presented to His Majesty by the merchants of the Western Regions, which was very different from ours, it was a kind of red paste, and I asked what it was made of, and the merchants of the Western Regions said that there were probably a few materials, and I had nothing to do anyway, so I thought about tinkering with it myself, but I didn't think about it, but it was really done. ”

He loves beauty and money, and under the influence of the business atmosphere of Weihui Mansion, he is also thinking about how to make a lot of money and study rouge, which is really a double win.

"I see."

Guo Dan nodded, and sighed in his heart, I am really a strange person everywhere!
