In Li Feibai's imagination, the stone carving factory at this time was still deserted, and he was a little happy when he saw the scene in front of him.

Humble is a little simple, but it is also beginning to take shape, and it can start working! I remember that I didn't explain to Hou Yanmin how to build the factory, but the three pieces of land in front of me completely fit my original vision.

He pointed to three pieces of land and asked, "Did you figure this out?" ”

Xie Fuda shook his head and said, "It's the female shopkeeper who chose the place and drew the drawings for us to do." ”

These three plots of land are all wasteland with bare rocks, and do not occupy the fertile land in the village, so there are fewer disputes caused by land occupation. Best of all, the three plots of land are all located next to the trail into the mountain to mine stones, which is very convenient to transport.

Li Feibai was impressed by Hou Yanmin, it seems that this woman is not a nerd who only knows how to draw, but still has the idea of adapting measures to local conditions.

Soon, he sensed something was wrong! The raw material area and the rough carving area have been in full swing, but the fine carving area is deserted.

Li Feibai's face couldn't help but sink, he looked back at the people standing behind him, and said, "The people in the Fine Carving District have received high salaries, and the people have become more expensive. At least half an hour before dark, you will all start to rest with your hands on your hands, and it will be too easy to receive this money! ”

The workers in the carving area bowed their heads. Saying that they are well paid, they firmly disagree. They are all carefully selected by Xie Fuda, with smart minds and flexible hands, and before they leave the school, the salary is no different from that of a small worker. Therefore, although they are in the fine carving area but not the master of the fine carving area, if it is true, they are not even as good as small workers, after all, small workers have begun to make money, and they have not done a job without a job, and there is no income so far.

One of them, Xie Fuda's cousin, had the audacity to mutter: "We also want to work, but we can't do it!" ”

The dissatisfaction in Li Feibai's eyes turned into deterrence, and he turned his head and asked, "Director Xie, what's going on?" ”

Xie Fuda didn't dare to look directly, lowered his head and said: "According to the arrangement of the female shopkeeper, it is to let the master with good craftsmanship in the village bring seven or eight people to polish the stone lion in the fine carving area." But the master in the village didn't want eight taels of silver per month, and no one wanted to come to the carving area. ”

Li Feibai once carefully calculated that a skilled master led the whole family to go into battle, from quarrying and transporting stones to rough carving, and the stone lions made in three months could only be sold for twenty taels of silver. But he, for a master to offer a monthly salary of eight taels, he can earn twenty-four taels a month, plus his sons do some other jobs in the stone carving factory, it is not a problem to earn fifty or sixty taels in three months. Where in the world can you find such a good thing? Why are these masters reluctant to do it? It must be that Xie Fuda is superficial and does not explain these interests clearly.

He scolded: "Can't you do this little thing? How did you become a factory director, and you can get sixteen taels of silver a month too easily and happily! ”

Xie Fuda's head hung lower, and he said: "These days, I have been going from house to house, explaining everything clearly, and even kneeling down for them to beg, but no one is willing to come." Just because ...... Just because of ......"

Li Feibai said: "If you have something to say, what are you doing?" ”

Xie Fuda said: "It's just because they all have a concern, they are afraid that the disciples of the church will starve to death of the master. ”

Li Feibai was stunned. I didn't expect to miss this point after thousands of calculations. At this time, Da Ming, not to mention the stone carving master, which line of the three hundred and sixty lines does not have such concerns. A skill that is not even a bit of bullshit, all of them cherish themselves, thinking that they are getting a golden job with eternal money, and they have set the rule that children will not be passed on to daughters. I don't want to think about who can make you make money and annoy him, don't want a stone lion, you just go into the coffin with your own craftsmanship.

He rolled his eyes, he already had a way to deal with these old stubborn things, but he didn't say anything, but continued to listen to Xie Fuda.

Xie Fuda said: "Don't talk about fine carving, no one is willing to teach rough carving." The old shopkeeper saw that this was his own business, and after teaching in the rough carving area for a long time, the workers could carve a rough appearance with their hands and feet. Lord Li, you see, the rough stones in the fine carving area are almost all piled up, and they will be full in less than two days. At that time, because there was nowhere to stack it, the labor in the rough carving area had to stop. As soon as the rough carving area stops, the raw material area also has to stop. You have to think of a way to do it, or the business will be ruined. ”

As soon as he explained this, the people behind him also said it indignantly.

Some said: "If these people don't teach us, forget it, and the third watch in the middle of the night will steal stones with a family." In the past, he stole raw materials that were not carved, but now he steals rough carved blanks. ”

Some said: "When we saw that the number was wrong, we spontaneously came to see the stones, but we were outsiders, and people didn't look at us at all. ”

Some said: "You dare to stop? People dare to fight! You see, my wrist was swollen from last night. ”

Some said: "They are a group of robbers who are people during the day and ghosts at night, and after stealing things, they come to shout and ask for warmth during the day, as if they did not steal the stones." ”

Xie Fuda waved his hand, told the people behind him to shut up, and said, "Master Li, although they are all villagers in the township, and they don't see anyone who looks down and doesn't look up, it's not a way to go on like this." No, I checked the number today, and I lost a lot of large and small, so I went to the old shopkeeper to discuss the solution, but I didn't expect to meet an adult. ”

Li Feibai said: "I know everything, and I will find a way." After a pause, he said, "What about Hou Yanmin?" ”

Xie Fuda was stunned, and couldn't remember who Hou Yanmin was for a while?

Li Feibai said: "It's the female shopkeeper you said!" ”

Xie Fuda suddenly realized, pointed to a mound not far away, and said, "Where is the female shopkeeper painting?" The paintings drawn by the female shopkeeper are really good, especially the lions, they are painted vividly, just like the real thing! ”

Li Feibai said: "Have you ever seen a lion? ”

Xie Fuda shook his head and said, "No! ”

Li Feibai said: "Then how do you know that it is the same as the real thing?" is also called a scholar in vain, don't you know what you know, and don't know what you don't know! ”

Xie Fuda saw that although Li Feibai was smiling and talking, his tone was extremely cold, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave. He vaguely felt that Li Feibai was very dissatisfied with him as a scholar, and he was afraid that he would not be allowed to be the director of the factory again, and when he didn't know what to do, he only heard Li Feibai continue:

"By the way, where do all the people in your stone carving factory sleep?"

Xie Fuda breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Li Feibai was only dissatisfied with him, and it was not serious enough to prevent him from being the factory director. He secretly made up his mind that in the future, he must not be complacent because he had read a few days of books, lest he be angry with Li Feibai again. Stretched out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said, "A few grass huts have been built near the village. ”

Li Feibai said: "You will lead people tomorrow, and you will also build a few grass huts for the newly brought people." Now that the weather is still warm, it will be enough to be in the straw hut. After a few days, just use the bricks from the brick factory to build some houses to live in! ”

Xie Fuda didn't know what the thief-like person brought by Li Feibai was here for, and said that he came to grab a job with him, so he was worried about his heart first, and only after hearing this did he breathe a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "It turns out that they are here to burn bricks." He didn't expect Li Feibai to be able to burn bricks, this is not a technical job that ordinary people can do, so he couldn't help but admire Li Feibai even more, and beckoned people to retreat.
