Chapter 56: Choreographing the Drama
After a good night, Sun Xiangfu slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.
Out of the front yard, I saw more than 100 horses and knives, and the fierce soldiers entered the mansion under the leadership of a eunuch, and saw that they set up defensive posts in their own houses and prepared to be stationed, Sun Xiangfu had a little sense of security.
"Sun Xiamu, the guards are here for you, the workshop and a cadre of craftsmen and slaves are also deployed, Niangniang's meaning, spread the stall as soon as possible, you see ······"
"Okay, I'll go to the workshop today to deploy work, you quickly rent the shops in the east and west cities, in addition, buy more soybeans, hoard firewood and charcoal, and in three days, our workshop will be able to produce tofu."
Hearing this, the eunuch Ma Yongquan who came over to spread the word was overjoyed, he was sent by Empress Changsun to assist Sun Xiangfu in managing the Food Supervision Division, to put it bluntly, Empress Changsun was afraid that the accounts of the Food Supervision Department would be too large, and Sun Xiangfu would be corrupt, but since the person fell into the hands of Sun Xiangfu, of course he was used to death, and now he is so busy, he will never do anything that can move his mouth.
The tofu workshop is in the Quchi Fang on the other side of the Qujiang Pond, the royal shot, and it is really atmospheric, almost a quarter of the workshop has been divided into the Yamen of the Food Supervision Division, and after Sun Xiangfu enters the Fangmen, there are several officials who come to pay homage.
"Sun Chun, the lowly chief, has seen Sun Xiamu, sixteen Yamen scribes of the Food Supervision Department, one hundred and twenty craftsmen, and eight hundred slave laborers, all of them are complete, please take a look at the list."
Sun Xiangfu glanced at this guy named Changsun Chun, it is estimated that it should be a house slave who has read books in the Changsun family, so he was a little kinder, and his current position is the first clerk of the Food Supervision Department, if there is no accident, he will be in charge of the Food Supervision Department in the future.
took the roster, and then looked at the crowd of people along the streets, most of them were Turkic, Sun Xiangfu frowned, it seems that Empress Changsun still can't change her iron rooster character, and sent Turkic captives to do free labor for the food supervision department, which saves a lot of money to buy people.
But Sun Xiangfu was reluctant to use these Turks, because the previous rebellion left a psychological shadow on him, and he always felt that it was unreliable to use them to work.
"My lord, please rest assured, these Turks are all willing to stay in Datang as laborers, most of them are Turkic tribes who often deal with Han people in the Hetao area, most of them can speak simple Chinese, they feel that as long as they have food to eat in Datang, it is better than returning to the Turks, so as long as you give them food, you don't need to worry about them rebelling."
Seeing that Sun Xiangfu's face was displeased, the eldest grandson Chun explained.
"Just give me something to eat?"
"Yes."
Sun Xiangfu nodded with satisfaction, you must know that he has to share 20% of the profits of the Food Supervision Department, and he is responsible for the wages of the laborers.
"Okay, let the officials and craftsmen be divided into four production brigades, each of which is managed by four officials, with 30 craftsmen and 200 laborers.
One of the leading officials is directly responsible to me, and the other three officials are supervisors, housekeepers, and quality supervisors, each of whom can choose two of the craftsmen under his charge to be responsible for assisting, and select four laborers as handymen. ”
Sun Xiangfu a few simple words, the management of the food supervisor was formed, and after a while, there were four officials elected as the lead officials of the four production teams, and all the craftsmen were also divided into four pieces, so that the proportion of four officials in each group, plus the helpers they selected, was greatly reduced.
"The four production brigades, in the four areas of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the workshop, form four production workshops, and the internal officials will lead their subordinates to find suitable houses to live in. In the future, these craftsmen, laborers, all things in life, are managed by the internal affairs of each group, I demand, every laborer, when in the production workshop, the body must be clean, mouth, nose, hair, must be wrapped in a white towel, wash strictly on time, the dormitory must be tidy, we do the food industry, even Your Majesty may have to eat what we do, if the food is unclean, eat Your Majesty's stomach, everyone may fall to the ground, so, the internal affairs officer has a great responsibility. ”
After they brought the craftsmen and laborers down, Sun Xiangfu said to the remaining officials, "The supervisor, as the name suggests, is responsible for supervising and managing the work of the workers in the entire production process, so it is a rare person who knows the entire tofu production process, so from tomorrow, the supervisor will go to my house to learn the whole process of making tofu, dried tofu, and tofu skin, and must be kept in mind and not sloppy."
Moreover, without the permission of His Majesty, the method of production shall not be passed on, otherwise the consequences shall be borne by yourself, after learning, each process will be dispersed in an independent house production, and all laborers will only do one process, I believe that as long as they are not fools, they can immediately get started, do the overseers understand? ”
"Inferior rank understands."
Sun Xiangfu's eyes swept over the three of them, which was considered to have deepened some impressions, and said to the remaining six people, "The quality supervisor is mainly responsible for the quality spot check of tofu from the beginning of procurement to the completion of production, unqualified inferior soybeans, resolutely not allowed to be put into storage, and unqualified soy products are made out of sale, I request, every pot of tofu made in the workshop, someone must try it, there is no problem, before it can be sold, if you can't eat it yourself, you can find laborers to take turns to replace it, the same words again, We are in the food industry, and we sell to all the people and elites in Chang'an, if the tofu made is poisonous, you think about how many people will die, to put it mildly, the quality supervisor in charge of supervision will definitely be the fate of the Jiu clan. ”
When Sun Xiangfu said this, the shoulders of the quality supervisor suddenly sank, and it turned out that the responsibility on his body was also so heavy.
In the end, Sun Xiangfu confessed that the four leading officials were responsible for inspecting and supervising, spot-checking the work of various departments from time to time, and reporting to himself regularly, and, starting tomorrow, he would prepare materials and prepare for production, and then he would go out of Quchifang.
"Niangniang often says that you have great talent, this is really true, only three times five divided by two, you will arrange the entire food supervision department is only orderly, sprinkled with family admiration." Ma Yongquan followed Sun Xiangfu with a smile.
"It's not just an order, there is another link that needs to be worked out of the horse, that is, the entire workshop of the guards, one hundred Ouchi guards, I will leave you sixty, a group of twenty people, divided into three shifts, blocking the entire workshop around the clock, without the order of Your Majesty and Niangniang and myself, no non-workshop insiders are allowed to enter, this important task of defending the secret of the royal family's money-making will be handed over to you." After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, he pointed to the exit at the entrance of the fang, indicating that this would be his warning area in the future, and Ma Yongquan heard this, and felt that he had a great responsibility.
In less than half a day, Sun Xiangfu finished arranging the work of the food supervisor, of course, there are some follow-up management details, he needs to write documents and hand them over to his subordinates to implement according to the regulations, which is not difficult, difficult, or to arrange programs for those artists at home.
"The Legend of the White Snake" Sun Xiangfu wrote three words with a brush in his study, and he didn't write down for a long time, although he was brainwashed by this TV series many times every summer since he was very young, but if you want to say that let Sun Xiangfu remember the lines of the whole TV, it would be too nonsense, when he picked up the pen, he knew that his original idea was a little taken for granted, and the drama was not so easy to arrange.
"Chun Tao, go and call Madame."
"Young master, Chun Tao went to train those maids and servants who accompanied the marriage."
Sun Xiangfu finally decided that he was still responsible for telling the general story, so that the people of this era could supplement and improve the story from the perspective of this era, and shouted out of the door, only to find that it was Qin Han, who was usually in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the yard, who replied to his words.
"This voice, hey, it's so distinctive!"
Come on, Uncle Qin Han, you sing along with me, "Hahaha, hahaha, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, the sky in March, the spring rain is like wine, and the willows are like Yan." ”
"Uh, young master, is this the one you are singing?"
Qin Han, who swept the floor, was almost forty years old, a proper old man, and he couldn't keep up with Sun Xiangfu's thinking rhythm at all!
"If you are asked to sing, you will sing, if you sing it, the young master will give you a meal at night, and the whole pig's trotters will be gnawed for you."
"Well, this is good, I'll learn from that old man."
Half an hour later, in the main room of the backyard of the Qin Mansion, Qin Han, who was carrying a broom, hummed a very emotional song, and ran to the temporary school hall in the second courtyard, which was to help Sun Xiangfu call Yu Xiu'er!
After a while, Yu Xiu'er, who was still teaching children to read and write in the courtyard of Erjin, was called by Qin Han, and as soon as she entered the door of the study, Yu Xiu'er asked, "Husband, what kind of song is this old man singing, it seems to be very good." ”
"Hehe, that's good! This is an episode in the show that I am preparing to stage in the restaurant for my husband, and it is also the closing song, come on, come on, there is a story here for the husband, I thought about a rough idea, you help the husband perfect, perfect. ”
Sun Xiangfu pulled Yu Xiuer into his arms, and the two began to write the story on a Taishi chair.
"The beginning of the story is like this, it is said that 1,700 years ago, there was a little white snake that had just cultivated into the essence of the mountain practice, but was caught by a person who specialized in catching snakes, at this time, there was a little shepherd boy grazing in the mountains happened to meet, seeing that the little white snake was pitiful, he was willing to give the peach he picked to the snake catcher, let him release the little white snake, the snake catcher was greedy for the little shepherd boy's peach, was taking the sweetness of eating, but the little white snake in his hand took advantage of his inattention, escaped, and so the snake catcher under the persuasion of the little shepherd boy, gave up chasing the little white snake, The little white snake changed into a little girl, thanked the little shepherd boy for saving his life, and threatened to repay him in the future.
1,700 years later, the little white snake has become a powerful millennium snake demon, she consciously practiced perfectly, and she was ready to go to Emei, worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, pray for refuge in the Three Jewels, Guanyin Bodhisattva really appeared under Mount Emei, but told the white snake that she still has a dust fate to end, and she needs to repay the great grace in order to complete the merit and become an immortal, and cast a spell to fade her snake venom to make it possible to get along with people, before leaving, remind her that the benefactor is on the shore of Xizi Lake in Suzhou and Hangzhou. So, the white snake rushed to the shore of Xizi Lake to find a benefactor to repay the kindness······"
The story only had a beginning, and Yu Xiuer was deeply attracted, but at this point, Sun Xiangfu stopped and said, "Lady, at this beginning, we have to design the lines and performance scenes." ”
"Husband, this story is really well written, why don't you and I imitate the characters in the story and design the dialogue!" Yu Xiu'er proposed.
"This is very good, in addition, I also thought of a way to let the audience deepen the sense of substitution of the story, on the back of our stage, ink painting, draw the scene in advance, every time we go to a different place, we only need to pull the painting on the back, so that the audience can see the general scene, such as the first mountain forest, then Emei Mountain, and then the broken bridge on the shore of West Lake, you don't need to paint well, you just need to draw a general look."
"Well, my husband's method is really good, but even so, it is estimated that many canvases will be needed at the beginning, so I am afraid that I will not be able to finish the painting just by waiting."
"By the way, look for Yan Liben Lord Yan! He paints very quickly, and there are many apprentices under him who learn to paint······"
The husband and wife entered the mode of discussion, and in just one afternoon, many methods and ideas were conceived by them together, so that the whole cat winter season is no longer so boring.
