Chapter 111 The Nature of Wealth

As long as there is progress in labor, all productive forces are gradually liberated in the process of labor.

Better, faster, and more, this is the goal that workers strive for.

In the snowy world, everything is silent, and only the pillar of smoke that soars to the sky proves to God that life on the earth is still tenaciously alive.

Yun's light carriage galloped briskly on the gravel road, and the two horses pulling the cart neatly raised their front hooves, and then trampled on the ground vigorously, full of rhythm.

Yun Lang sat in the carriage and looked at the endless workshops outside, and his heart was full of emotion, such a scenery is the foundation of the Han Empire's majestic forest in the world.

A brick kiln appeared in Yun Lang's field of vision, it was so huge, a ridge from Lishan Mountain to the plain, forming a huge brick kiln.

On the winding ridge, there is a chimney that rises with the top, and the end of the ridge is cut neatly, and a cliff forms the gate of a brick kiln.

The other hills are covered with snow, but this ridge does not have a trace of white, but a trace of green mixed with it.

Close to the brick kiln, it is not a heavy day here, the cold wind blows here and the high heat emitted by the brick kiln will turn into a warm spring breeze.

The carriage stopped in front of the brick kiln, and before the door could be opened, a lean old man hurriedly put on his coat and rubbed a pair of hands full of clay and waited respectfully for the nobleman.

Huo Guang jumped out of the carriage, and when the master also got out of the car, he arched his hand at the thin old man and said, "How old is Grandpa?" ”

The lean old man waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't dare to be a respectful title for Xiao Langjun, the little old man Pei Lianzi is fifty-seven years old this year." ”

Yun Lang looked up at this magnificent brick kiln with his hands behind his back, and asked with a smile: "How many green bricks can be produced in this kiln of the old man?" ”

Pei Lianzi rubbed his hands and said crampedly: "If you go back to the nobles, Xiao Lao'er's brick kiln is a tunnel kiln, and if you take advantage of the mountain, you can produce 13,000 bricks in one kiln." ”

Yun Lang smiled when he heard this, and saw that the vast brickyard was full of green bricks, so he said to Huo Guang: "A kiln burns hundreds of bricks, and a mother raises it unusually, this is a proverb I heard before, it seems that it is not suitable for Pei Lao."

There are tens of thousands of bricks in a kiln, but the quality is the same, which is rare. ”

Pei Lianzi's face became very fast, at first he thought that there was a noble person to take care of his business, but now listening to the nobleman's words, he felt that something was wrong, he felt that this noble man was here to plot his family's secret recipe.

Huo Guang said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't panic, my master just wants to see what the villagers are doing this winter, and he has no evil intentions." ”

Hearing that Yunlang's master and apprentice were not here to buy bricks, Pei Lianzi had no intention of dealing with the powerful, and the poor family was not cheap and easy to make money on the noble family.

"In this way, the nobles will take care of themselves, and the little old man is laying bricks."

Huo Guang saw Pei Lianzi turn around and leave, so he said with some annoyance: "This old man is too rude." ”

Yun Lang said with a smile: "This is a person, a person whose knees are weak when he sees Xungui can't do such a big thing, and he won't have much success in the future." ”

Huo Guang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not that this person is ambitious, but that his family's brick kiln is supplying bricks and tiles to Fuguicheng, and it is estimated that he is so domineering because of the momentum of Changmen Palace." ”

Yun Lang walked through the green brick stomping, and said to Huo Guang while inspecting the green bricks: "This is originally a world of dogs fighting people, foxes and fake tigers, speaking of which, we are no different from this Pei Lianzi."

However, one day, we can become a force that can control the world on our own, without relying on any force.

To be honest, I also hope that this Pei Lianzi is the same. ”

Although the brick kiln is very large, it is enough to turn it in one hour.

From mud, to waking mud to embryo making, and drying, the master and apprentice watched it all over again, and they even watched the craftsmen install the kiln.

Pei Lianzi stood aside and looked at them coldly, he believed that these two nobles couldn't see the fame of this thing.

Burning bricks, burning bricks, the focus is naturally on the process of burning.

There are too many people who know about the rest of the process.

Yun Lang finally stopped in front of the brick kiln, pointed to the kiln mouth that was being installed and said to Huo Guang: "Look, this is the reason for the improvement of ergonomics, one chimney, two brick kilns, one kiln firing, one kiln preparation, four times the efficiency of people and horses."

The kiln was fired for seven days, and the kiln was sealed with water for three days......"

Pei Lianzi was already very sure that Yun Lang was here to steal the skills, and the anger in his chest was high, these greedy nobles even wanted to rob such a vulgar way of living as burning bricks, it was really shameless.

Despite his anger, he still didn't dare to attack, and the Yun family generals who were standing not far away, everyone had the hilt of the knife in their hands, and as long as they found something wrong, they would rush over and slash and kill.

"Master, how did you know so many craftsman's skills?"

Yun Lang gloomily looked at the mouth of the black hole cave brick kiln and said, "If I tell you that I once burned bricks, do you believe it?" ”

Huo Guang shook his head resolutely.

Yun Lang frowned and said, "Actually, I don't believe it either!" ”

Huo Guang didn't understand the meaning of the master's words, and saw that the master was not going to explain to him, but was looking at the women and children who lived around the brick kiln, so he hurriedly followed.

A brick kiln is a small world, and there are more than 100 people who rely on this brick kiln to live.

Men make bricks, women make mud, old people sift soil, children pick up discarded coal cores from brick kilns, and everyone is very busy.

They should be rich, and although their rags do not cover their healthy bodies, the mere mere look at their moist faces and the innocent smiling faces of children is enough to prove that they have no worries about food and clothing.

When Yun Lang left, Pei Lianzi walked over again, and the dissatisfied look on his face had disappeared, replaced by a flattering face.

"If the noble person is also ready to open a brick kiln, the little old man has been immersed in this way all his life, and he is well versed in the magic of it, if the noble man will hand over the brick kiln to the little old man to take care of, it will definitely bring great profits to the nobleman."

Yun Lang laughed and said to Huo Guang: "See, don't underestimate the small people, once they enter the way of businessmen, they are not much worse than those who are slippery."

At first, the old thief was wary of us, and when he saw that we were too powerful to provoke, he prepared to join the brick kiln he imagined.

However, he has bad intentions. ”

Huo Guang looked back at the potters standing on the brick yard looking at them, shook his head, and said to Pei Lianzi: "Grandpa, my family will not do the business of burning bricks, although rest assured, we will not compete with you for the business of Fugui City, although you can rest assured to burn bricks."

The walls of this rich city have been built, but the houses in the city have not yet been built, and the houses in the city have been completed, and the people in the forest garden will also become rich, and there will still be a shortage of bricks and stones.

The boy wishes Grandpa here, wealth is like the dawn of the clouds, and the benefits are like spring tides bringing rain. ”

Pei Lianzi's disguised flattering face gradually disappeared, and he didn't think that the two nobles had the heart to talk so much nonsense with him.

Then he arched his hand and said: "The little old man is ashamed, ashamed." ”

Yun Lang smiled and waved his hand, which was a farewell to a dry kiln work.

The carriage slowly drove out of the high-tech brick kiln of the Han Dynasty and returned to the ancient road.

It wasn't until their figures disappeared that Pei Lianzi shouted: "What are you doing idle, pretending to be a kiln!" ”

Seeing the lively potters immediately get busy, Pei Lianzi looked back at the ancient road where Yunlang's master and apprentice had gone, sighed, returned to the shed, and lifted a huge mud block and smashed it into the mud......

"If such a brick kiln can further standardize the process, arrange the manpower reasonably, and improve the tools, the work efficiency can basically be doubled."

Yun Lang's voice sounded in the carriage.

Huo Guang looked up at his master and said, "They're creating wealth, aren't they?" ”

Yun Lang saw that Huo Guang's mind was not on learning, so he nodded and said, "That's right, from scratch, every green brick is wealth." ”

"In this way, the farmer cultivates grain, the shepherd grazes cattle and sheep, the woman raises silkworms, and the weaver girl weaves linen, all of which are also creating wealth?"

Yun Lang laughed and said, "Of course it is! ”

"What is the minting of copper coins at home?"

Yun Lang smiled: "If you remove the concept of money represented by copper coins, we are actually creating wealth."

It's just that the added value of the wealth we create is relatively high, that is to say, the profits are higher, the control is easier, and the fame and fortune can be obtained faster. ”
