Chapter Twenty-Six: The Establishment of the Fertilizer Workshop (Kneeling for Everything)
Early the next morning, the Chu Tianxing brothers took two scribes to Li San's compound outside Yongding Gate.
The night Xianglang waited here early in the morning, they were afraid of losing this opportunity. They never thought that there would be someone to hire them, just their group of old, weak, sick and disabled.
The night fragrant people have been doing the work of cleaning up manure and garbage for people, and they have never had a regular income. Rely entirely on other people's tips every day, and sell a small amount of garbage to make a living.
Now there are people who are willing to hire them for a fixed 60 yuan a month. For them, this is simply an eye-opener, and steamed buns have fallen from the sky.
Many of the people in Yexianglang didn't dare to close their eyes all night. They are afraid that once they fall asleep, they will wake up again and find that they have just had a good dream.
The scribe asked Li San to find a table and put the documents he was holding in his arms on the table. The clerk also didn't understand, did Yexianglang need paperwork? Do they have literacy?
There is no way, His Royal Highness King Shin clearly requires everyone to have a document. For this purpose, a number of employment documents have also been printed. Believing in the king's commands, the scribes could only obey them.
Seeing the table open, the night fragrant men gathered around. The Chu Tianxing brothers maintained basic order.
The night merchants were illiterate, no one read them, and no one asked about the contents of the documents. They simply sign up in front of the scribes in turn and put their fingerprints on the paperwork where the clerks fill in their names.
From time to time, Ye Xianglang hugged the document that belonged to him and cried. I finally saw a glimmer of hope in this cruel life. The surrounding Ye Xianglang was also full of tears, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have laugh lines.
When everyone, including Li San, pressed their handprints, the scribe left with the paperwork. Chu Tianxing began to arrange their work in detail.
According to the arrangement of His Royal Highness King Shin, the night fragrance lang still maintains the original work for the time being. The Lingers are strictly required to separate all excrement and other garbage, and never allow it to be mixed.
Li San's task is to lead the young men to the valley where garbage is disposed of, and to open a pond for storing manure.
The manure sent by the night fragrance lang is not casually discarded and landfilled. They are poured into separate pools and mixed with the broken grass sent from elsewhere.
After the mixture is well mixed, a small amount of lime will be added, and then it will be fished out and piled up on the sunny slope.
A layer of manure and a layer of straw are piled up into a manure heap, and the outside is covered with soil, which can be used as fertilizer after half a month. If the field is not needed for a while, the manure pile can be compacted with soil, and it is said that the fertilizer effect can be maintained for a long time.
After the work of the Ye Xianglang was arranged, among the Chu Tianxing brothers, Han Chong stayed behind to be in charge of the workshop management.
Han Chong will not be able to return to the city to reunite with his family in a short period of time. He had to go to the nearby villages to hire idlers, buy straw, grass and other necessary materials, and take care to keep the entire workshop running.
The Chu Tianxing brothers said a few words to each other, and the two sides said goodbye and left. Han Chong went to manage the fertilizer workshop, and Chu Tianxing and several other brothers rushed back to the palace of King Xin to resume their lives.
After listening to Chu Tianxing's report, Zhu Youzhen secretly wrote down the name Han Chong in his heart.
"Well, if you are not afraid of dirty, not afraid of smell, and a good employee who volunteered to preside over the fertilizer workshop, we can't treat him badly." Zhu Youzhen thought so from the bottom of his heart. He needs to build his own team, and the more talent, the better.
What is talent? What is a talent? How are talents selected? This has been a major problem throughout the ages.
"As long as there are achievements and certain organizational skills, we will give priority to promotion and probation." Zhu Youzhen made up his mind to select talents according to this standard.
"The fertilizer workshop has been built. After the fertilizer comes out in the next step, you can take it to Huangzhuang to try it first, and let the tenants there see the effect of the fertilizer. If it works well, it's time to start promoting sales. Fertilizer is also considered profitable. Zhu Youzhen's thinking quickly turned to the fertilizer workshop.
Chu Tianxing saw His Royal Highness King Xin smiling, and secretly felt happy for Han Chong in his heart. This old brother of his own, with an honest personality, practical work, and skilled martial arts. The only drawback is that it is not good to speak, so it is always not pleasing to the officials.
This time, his brothers worked for King Xin for the first time, and it was best to get off to a good start.
The work of the fertilizer workshop is dirty and smelly, and Han Chong can do it. With Han Chong's character, he will definitely be able to do things well without complaining.
When the matter is done, King Xin will definitely be able to remember his name, which will not only be of great benefit to himself, but also of great help to his brothers' status in the palace in the future.
Chu Tianxing was secretly thinking about being careful, so he heard the king calling his name.
Zhu Youzhen said solemnly: "Chu Da, you go check and see if there is any news about the two books "Heavenly Creations" and "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration". The authors of the book seem to be Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing. You must give Lone the news of finding these two people. ”
Zhu Youzhen handed Chu Tianxing a few more pictures. These pictures were drawn by Zhu Youzhen and Li Yongzhen. They were all specially selected by Zhu Youzhen, and they are most like the portraits of sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes in his memory.
Zhu Youzhen stared at Chu Tianxing and said very seriously: "Chu Tianxing, you arrange the most competent candidate to go to the south to find several new crops on the map." It doesn't matter how much it costs, but be sure to get the seeds. ”
Chu Tianxing couldn't help but get nervous when he saw His Royal Highness King Xin so solemn for the first time, and he replied solemnly: "Obey, His Royal Highness King Xin." The lowly will arrange for the safest brother to go. ”
Chu Tianxing saw that His Royal Highness King Xin had no other instructions, so he took the picture and turned around and withdrew. When he was about to exit the door, he heard Zhu Youzhen say another word.
"Chu Da, go to the account room to get 1,000 taels of silver, and send 50 taels to Han Chong. You keep 50 taels to check the matter. The rest is for those who go to the south to take with them. Tell him if silver isn't the problem. As long as there are seeds, we must write to inform them in time. How much money is arranged, this king will arrange. Zhu Youzhen said categorically.
Chu Tianxing now knew more clearly the weight of finding seeds in King Xin's heart. He happily answered and withdrew.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the direction Chu Tianxing left, and whispered softly in his heart: "Chu Da, as long as you can sincerely do things for me, I will give you a great wealth in the future." If it's half-hearted, then, hehe. ”
Half a month later, with the completion of the training personnel in place. In the capital, in different areas, 10 shops called Dazhong Qian Zhuang have opened quietly and low-key.
This bank was different from the other shops, in the center of the house was a very heavy, long counter, and the iron fence that led to the roof divided the house into two halves.
There are benches in front of the counter where guests can sit. The whole shop looks very clean and tidy.
The two guys and the bookkeeper are inside the counter, but the shopkeeper is outside the counter. The four staff members in the store are all dressed in a uniform gray outfit, with only different patterns embroidered on the cuffs, indicating different positions.
According to Zhu Youjian's requirements, the staff of Qianzhuang received customers, and they should smile first when they meet.
