Chapter 47: Growth
In the end, Wang Quanzao had to compromise, it was not that Wang Quanzao was afraid of Xu Deshan and Xu Caizheng, after all, Wang Quanzao was the lord of a county, he didn't nod, even if Xu Deshan said that it was broken, it would be difficult to act, but now that the interests are in front, even Wang Quanzao is difficult not to be moved.
Since it is related to his own personal interests, Wang Quan has long attached great importance to it, and when he went back that day, he asked his servants to summon more than a dozen craftsmen in the county, and told them to go to Fuping Township early tomorrow morning to listen to Xu Caizheng's dispatch, Wang Quanzao was afraid that Xu Deshan's manpower was not enough, and he selected more than a dozen strong ones in the conscription, and went with the craftsmen, in order to prevent these people from not listening to the dispatch, Wang Quanzao also specially sent Ma Debiao to supervise the work.
This is the characteristic of China's system since ancient times, as long as the official a word, you can concentrate the absolute elite force to complete a certain job, these craftsmen and conscripts were originally to obey the official uniform dispatch, not to mention that there is a county lieutenant who is very notorious in the county, one by one, honest, the sky is bright, and he came to Fuping Township.
The key to the matter is still in Xu Deshan, where does Xu Deshan dare to be sloppy, get up early, and by the way, Xu Caizheng, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing also called up, and joined the craftsmen.
In fact, according to the subordinate relationship, since these craftsmen are registered, the government will also give the craftsmen some money every month, so that the craftsmen can be dispatched at any time, not to mention the conscription, they are originally working for the official uniform, as long as Xu Deshan gives an order, these people will act according to Xu Deshan's command.
But Xu Deshan was different, he waited for everyone to arrive, and then he stood on a high slope, looking at the group of people below, chattering, and didn't take Xu Deshan as a thing at all, but Xu Deshan didn't care, smiled kindly, and shouted loudly with an account book in his hand: "Everyone, this time to build a school, all those who are registered, each person will receive fifty copper coins per day." ”
After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he didn't care whether everyone heard it or not, he turned his head and left, someone who was close to Xu Deshan heard what Xu Deshan said, and was suddenly startled, what, fifty wen! These people were suddenly a little dizzy by this price. What is the concept of fifty wen, needless to say, those conscripts, they have never received a job of fifty wen a day in their lives, even those craftsmen, only a few times can earn fifty wen.
With money as a temptation, who cares about Xu Deshan's age, someone immediately shouted: "That kid, what did you just say?" Working here, can you get 50 yuan a day? ”
Xu Deshan had little strength before, and most people didn't hear it, but this time everyone heard it, and they hurriedly looked for targets one by one, and finally learned two, two, two, and three, and finally focused their eyes on Xu Deshan.
Xu Deshan can be regarded as energetic at this time, holding the account book behind his back, lazy and lazy, looking at the people in front of him with ignorance, and the temperament of a contractor arises spontaneously.
Temperament is a thing that can really reflect everything, don't look at Xu Deshan's young age at this time, but when he stops there, he is obviously the owner of the money here, who is in charge of giving money, so that everyone dare not despise it.
One of the craftsmen stood up, thought about it, and bowed to Xu Deshan: "This little boy, you just said that we can get fifty copper coins each, is this true?" ”
Before Xu Deshan could speak, Ma Debiao on the side walked over first and shouted: "Lao Dong, you are a registered craftsman, and it is natural for you to come here to work with you, and what else do you need to be paid." ”
With Ma Debiao's murderous reputation in the county, where do these people dare to provoke, they are silent all of a sudden, Nuo Nuo is weak, but his eyes are still on Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan smiled, stepped forward and said: "I have fifty yuan here, there are some of them, but if you want to take him away, it is not so easy." ”
Lao Dong asked, "Why is it not easy to law?" ”
Xu Deshan said: "Since you want to build a school for me, then you must first register in the register, and you will not be able to order it every day, and those who arrive late and leave early will have no money to get." ”
The Great Song Dynasty, don't look at the richest dynasty in China, but in the countryside, whether it is farming or business, if you want to make money, you have to get up early and be greedy, these people have long been accustomed to it, this is not a condition at all, Lao Dong smiled and agreed: "This is natural." ”
Xu Deshan said: "The second point is that this school is built, I am the superintendent, you must all obey the order, and there must be no half-point difference." ”
Xu Deshan's condition is also a matter of course, if you take other people's money, you naturally have to listen to others, Lao Dong nodded and said: "This is okay." ”
Xu Deshan said: "Third, you must do your best to work, you can't be lazy and slippery, well, the county lieutenant Ma can also make a big name on this, patrol at any time, and when the time comes, if you find a lazy person, you will be severely punished." ”
This time, everyone's faces are black, if you say that these craftsmen, the craft is there, but unless it is urgent, otherwise whoever works to sell their lives into it, there is no match, as long as it is not the slightest move in half a day, it is over, anyway, the salary is settled by the day, and after a long time, they still get more money. This kid is not stupid, he gives more money, and he has to do more work himself.
Everyone didn't agree, but Ma Debiao next to him heard that he also had money to take, and immediately glared at him, where else dared to object, and immediately agreed, anyway, this school always has to be built, if you do a little more work, you still have money, why not do it.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Xu Deshan asked everyone to come and register in the register, and wrote down their names, addresses, and what kind of craftsman they were, Xu Deshan looked at everyone again and took everyone to the place he chose.
Although it is said that the land of Yanzhao is a plain, a horse and a flat river, but there are some differences in detail, Xu Deshan chose this place, in fact, it is still a lot of effort, this place is not far from Fuping Township, guarding the road, backed by this small river, there is a pine forest next to it, and more importantly, by this river, Xu Deshan also found a piece of clay land.
This is simply a godsend, all of a sudden the difficulties faced by Xu Deshan have been solved, guarding the road, convenient transportation, pine forests, can be cut down at any time, used as beams and pillars, and clay, which can be made into a small clay kiln, fire green bricks by yourself. In this way, those time-consuming steps can be completely omitted, according to Xu Deshan's calculation, as long as the arrangement is proper and reasonable, the construction of the school in one month is more than enough.
Of course, it is said that it is necessary to arrange reasonably, and everything here must be designed by Xu Deshan, except that each of him can know what to do next, so in the next time, Xu Deshan became the busiest person, he not only has to calculate the construction period, assign tasks between the craftsmen, but also inspect the quality of each person's work, what problems and disputes encountered, Xu Deshan also has to come forward to solve, sometimes, Xu Deshan also has to explain to these people the horizontal and vertical judgment, stipulating the assembly line operation process between many people, the most important, Xu Deshan had to calculate the balance of the money he spent like running water in his hand.
This kind of work intensity, not to say that it is Xu Deshan's body of a four-year-old child, even if it is Xu Caizheng, I am afraid that he will not be able to persevere, but Xu Deshan really persevered, this is the first time he has presided over a project that is not very large, he is teaching craftsmen how to complete the work faster and better, but more, he is also enriching his experience and experience in practice.
Xu Deshan cherishes this period of time, in addition to acting like a power holder at the beginning, and in the following days, he has to soak in the construction site every day, ask various craftsmen for various problems, summarize their own shortcomings, correct their deviations, so that they can continue to make progress in the new day.
Of course, there is a problem here, in the feudal society of the Song Dynasty, there is such an unwritten agreement between the craftsmen of the people, their own skills, pass on the male but not the female, the inside and not the outside, no way, the craft of eating, taught the apprentice, not to starve to death the master, so Xu Deshan also touched a lot of nails when he asked, and some people refused to say those skills in their hearts.
Some mason carpenters, what can they do, These skills of theirs are their lives and treasures in their arms, but for Xu Deshan, they are not worth mentioning at all, the difference is just experience, in this case, Xu Deshan is not in a hurry, just move a stool and sit in front of this craftsman and watch him work, you can not teach me, but you can't stop working, if you don't work, see how Ma Debiao cleans you up, and as long as those craftsmen start to work, his skills, Naturally, he was learned by Xu Deshan, and according to statistics, no craftsman has been fortunate enough to be seen by Xu Deshan for more than half an hour.
Xu Deshan is busy here, and the other protagonist of the story, Wang Quanzao, is relieved, Wang Quanzao has been secretly outside of Xu's Mansion since the last time, as if he wanted to completely draw a line with Xu Deshan, and never came again, if Xu Deshan had any needs, it was Ma Changqing who came forward to mediate, but there was one thing that Wang Quanzao did very beautifully, that is, from beginning to end, no one came to Xu Deshan's trouble.
In order to build the school within a month, Xu Deshan even organized a few night constructions, firmly controlled the progress within his own plan, and it was also a loss that it was not far from Fuping Township, and it was convenient to eat and live, plus Xu Deshan scattered a lot of silver, and finally, Xu Deshan was stuck at the end of a month, and the school was built.
