Chapter 128: A Visit to a State-Owned Factory
Li Xian was moved to tears.
What a good son-in-law, how much dedication to help, this is a manuscript, it is clearly a dedication that is about to erupt.
"Ran'er, don't worry, I will read through it all night, and I will understand your painstaking efforts."
Li Xian solemnly placed the manuscript in the most conspicuous place...... However, what does it mean to put it that high? I don't need you to give it up.
"In short, step by step, now I have received black tenant farmers in Luoyang, and some fields, the conditions for the pilot are ripe, the textile factory is about to start, after a few months of trial will be able to see results, if it runs well, the next part will be promoted to Chang'an and other important towns, and within five years, it will be slowly promoted to all places in our Datang."
Confessing his thoughts, Li Xian didn't want to think about it, so he agreed to it, as long as he tried his best to let it go.
The cheap old man has this benefit, and the trust comes without reservation.
Five days later, the landlords of Luoyang City received an invitation.
The name of the inscription turned out to be Shangshu Ling Li Ran!
The content of the invitation is unique, inviting them to go to the "Datang State-owned No. 1 Textile Processing Factory" to observe and learn...... What the hell?
Shouldn't you find a big restaurant, open a few private rooms, eat, drink, talk and laugh?
Besides, Li Ran's banquet is not so easy to participate in, he has a criminal record in Chang'an City, and he is also a big landlord, because he ate a meal of wine, he was directly thrown into prison and imprisoned until he died.
The landlords of Luoyang City are no more than those in Chang'an, how dare they go to this Hongmen banquet.
Or don't you call yourself sick?
Many active-minded landlords had crooked ideas, until Li Ran dispatched the imperial doctor in the palace to the homes of those landlords who did not want to go to the banquet on the grounds of illness, and helped them with free medical treatment.
If there is a disease, if there is no disease...... It's okay if you don't come to the banquet, you still deceive people, it's not good to deceive anyone, and you also deceive the Tang Dynasty Immortal Master, it's unbearable, catch it out, cut it.
"Deceive the officials and disobey the orders of the court", this big hat is tightly buttoned, and the other party has no temper.
After a few stubborn heads landed, all the landlords learned to be obedient and expressed their desire to respond to the call of the imperial court and go to the banquet on time.
"Brother will give you a fortune, you still don't know what to do, sure enough, it is difficult to be a good person."
Before the banquet began, standing in front of the gilded signboard of the textile factory, Li Ran smacked his lips with great interest, only hating Qu Gao and widows.
Pei Min behind him looked constipated...... Good? The point is that the face is not pressing!
It was just a matter of cutting off the head of the landlord Lao Cai, and he deserved to be caught, but then the operation of confiscating the family property was very vicious, and it was miserable to let the family return to before liberation overnight.
What's more, the landlords guessed correctly at all.
Today's invitation is indeed a Hongmen feast, and some of the things in the textile factory are cleaning up people, and if you are not careful, you will have to be tricked.
"Brother, what's that look on your face?"
Feeling the contemptuous gaze behind him, Li Ran turned around and smiled indifferently, "Reform is not a dinner invitation, it is bloodshed." ”
Pei Min was stunned, keenly aware that the Tang Immortal Master in front of him, who was younger than himself, had unparalleled wisdom, and he did not deliberately want to kill those big landlords, but to achieve a certain goal.
Seeing the landlords and old fortunes coming in groups in the distance, Pei Min suddenly became interested.
Living to be old, learning to be old, and following Li Ran, there is really no lack of fun.
On a rare sunny day in winter, the wind blowing in the suburbs is not cold on the face at all, but the hearts of the landlords and old wealth are cold.
Standing next to Li Ran seemed to be ...... An elite samurai from Liangzhou?!
Most of the costumes can't be wrong, they are all full of gangsterism, and they can directly scare crying children.
In fact, they guessed correctly again, these samurai were indeed co-opted horse thieves who turned into careers, and they had their own three-point gangsterism.
The question is, can you use so many samurai for a mere observation trip?
"Gentlemen, please stand in line and enter in turn, there are a lot of valuable immortal artifacts in this factory, so a lot of guards are arranged, so as not to be coveted by Xiaoxiao."
Seeing the uncertain faces of the landlords and old wealthy, Li Ran greeted him in a friendly manner.
The scene was automatically ignored, and the other party was not stupid, and directly grasped the key point of this sentence.
Immortal utensils!
It's worth a lot for sure!
The magic of the steam engine is already breathtaking, and the immortal artifacts in this whole large factory must be so magnificent.
For a while, the fear of the landlords and old wealth was overwhelmed by curiosity, and some couldn't wait to go in and see what was going on.
An imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of Li Ran's mouth.
The landlords and wealthy men apparently ignored an important key word in his words...... Valuable!
If you damage the artifacts of the immortal family, how much silver should you lose?
That's right, this is Li Ran's first routine...... Slander!
The factory gate opened, and the merchants entered, and as soon as they landed, they were crossed by the guards.
"Great, my lord, this, what does this mean?"
Li Ran glared at the unlucky ghost and pointed to a few big characters on the wall in front of him.
"Factory heavy, please wear shoe covers."
What are shoe covers? The landlords and old fortunes looked at each other, and under the prompting of Li Ran's fingers, they found that there were several wooden boxes at their feet, which contained things made of oilcloth paper to wrap the uppers of their shoes.
"Come on, tell them how to punish them for not complying with the factory's operating procedures?"
snapped his fingers at the guard, and the latter immediately recited a line of provisions, not to mention, his memory is not bad, Li Ran himself forgot about it.
"Did you hear that, you will be fined ten taels of silver, and you will be punished with ten strokes of the cane, and if you commit your first offense, the cane will be exempted, and when you end the observation in a while, you will pay the fine."
Li Ran showed a "benevolent heart", which instantly relieved this unlucky ghost...... Compared with being beaten to the board, although the fine is painful, it can bear it.
Only Pei Min shook his head secretly.
This special appetizer was tricked before it was even available, Li Ran's routine was really unguardable.
After putting on shoe covers, everyone looked around and was immediately shocked by the huge factory...... This, what kind of styling is this.
There is almost no wood material, and all the columns and beams are made of iron!
"The wood structure is not fireproof, and the biggest safety hazard in the textile mill is fire, and the use of iron materials will delay the spread of fire and provide more time for extinguishing fires."
Li Ran explained lightly, and when he glanced at everyone, he saw that someone among them had taken out a small notebook to write down this sentence, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
It's good that someone finally remembers the original words on his invitation.
"Observe and study", don't you have to bring pen and paper, those who come empty-handed, dare to say that they will never forget?
"This is the first functional area of the factory, the cotton waiting area."
The explanation continued, Li Ran pointed to the emptiest place in front of him, and the four long strip-shaped boxes were side by side, which was impressive.
"This is the first process of weaving, where the cotton sent from outside is sorted into four different qualities."
In just one sentence, the landlords and old fortunes were messy in the wind again.
Cotton, can it still be classified by quality? I'm afraid this kid is not out of his mind.
