Uncle Liu believes that it is true that Daxing bought stone lions in large quantities, but how can there be an accuracy in buying and selling, if you buy it this year, you may not have to buy it next year, even if you buy it next year, you are afraid that you will not buy it the year after tomorrow! If you buy it in large quantities every year, it's okay, but if it doesn't sell well, the number of stone lions in Daxing will drop sharply, and Li Feibai's stone carving factory will definitely fall. What to do then? They have taught many apprentices, isn't that a clear competition for jobs with them?

However, Li Feibai is building factories and building roads, and he also found a way out for Shi Shishi for them, and he bluntly said that he was afraid that Li Feibai would be angry, and it would not be beneficial for anyone to break up at that time. Therefore, I can only think of another argument against it. Thinking that Li Feibai was going to build a brick and tile factory and arrange their relatives and friends inside, he had an idea.

As long as Li Feibai can understand that the brick and tile factory will never be built, and it is impossible for their relatives and friends to make money, Li Feibai has to agree to let them lead a group of people to do it. As for whether you can make up the amount that Daxing wants, let's take it one step at a time.

He said: "The eldest nephew wants to build a brick factory? ”

Li Feibai said: "That's right! ”

Liu Bodao: "The eldest nephew has worked in a brick cellar or tile cellar before, and he knows how to build a cellar and how to burn bricks and tiles?" ”

Li Feibai said: "I don't know! ”

Uncle Liu smiled and said secretly: "It seems that it is not difficult to get Li Feibai to give up the idea of a brick factory!" Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Li Feibai continued: "But someone knows how to build a cellar and how to burn bricks and tiles?" ”

Uncle Liu let out an "oh" and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Li Feibai shouted outside the house: "Jin Damin, Wu Yishui, you two come in." ”

Two thieves walked in outside the door. The two of them undoubtedly killed people, and the murderous aura in their eyes swept the villagers sitting around, and everyone shuddered, I don't know what Li Feibai let these two fierce and vicious people come in for, could it be that Li Feibai was so angry that he wanted to shout and kill him?

Uncle Liu asked in a trembling voice, "Who are these two?" ”

Li Feibai said: "These two know how to burn bricks and cement!" "When he started to build a brick factory and a cement factory, he didn't realize how difficult it was to burn bricks and cement. But after really deciding to build a brick factory and a cement factory, after thinking about it, I realized that burning bricks and cement is not an easy task.

First of all, you need to know how to build a cellar. Secondly, you need to know how to control the fire! The more he thought about it, the more difficult it became, not only to build a cellar and control the fire, but also to solve all kinds of problems. However, when he encountered this kind of difficulty, he did not stop burning bricks and cement, the big deal was to try a few more times, consuming this time and money. Isn't there such a saying? There is no road in the world, and there is one walk.

Take 10,000 steps back, I really don't understand how to build it, this thing is not high-tech, it's a big deal to hire someone to build it. There are brick factories and tile factories in the first place, and it is not difficult to lure heavy profits to dig a corner. There is no cement factory, but there is a lime factory, so go to the lime factory to dig a corner, and then try to make cement.

He led the thieves to Xiapan Village, and when he was resting on the way, he asked casually to see if anyone inside knew how to burn bricks. I didn't expect that there were really people among the thieves who knew how to burn bricks and lime, and I don't know if it was too good luck or a deliberate arrangement by God. Along the way, he also specially asked about the details of making bricks and burning lime, and when he saw that the two of them answered each other fluently, he was sure that the two really understood and were not lying.

He pointed at Jin Damin and said, "You come and tell my uncle and uncle how to burn bricks." ”

Jin Damin stood there and talked eloquently, first talking about how to build the mouth of the cellar, and then talking about the size of the cellar, the small cellar can burn 20,000 to 30,000 bricks at a time, and the large cellar can burn about 100,000 bricks at a time.

Although Uncle Liu doesn't know how to burn bricks, he knows that a brick is not cheap, the best bricks can be sold at the same price as gold, and the most inferior bricks can be sold for two or three yuan. Because it's expensive, they can't afford it. Otherwise, it will not be built in the way of the bluestone below and the Huang Shi on the top, who does not know the style of building a blue brick and tile house.

He heard that one cellar can burn 100,000 bricks, so wouldn't one cellar earn two or three hundred taels? Bricks are pure profits, and they are available in the village of mud, whether they use firewood or coal, they are also ready-made, except for the wages of the workers, the rest are all profitable.

Li Feibai himself brought three hundred people, and he could let more people do it, even if he only used five hundred people, there must be many cellars built by so many people. A cellar of two or three hundred taels, even if a cellar produces bricks five times in a month, according to ten cellars, it is also an income of tens of thousands of taels? Where to find such a good deal?

After Jin Damin finished talking about this, he began to talk about how to make bricks: "I have seen the cement in Xiapan Village, which is a high-quality brick material. However, before making bricks, you have to let people spread out the cement first, and after about half a year, the cement is loose inside, and you can start to make bricks. ”

Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced at Li Feibai. After learning that Li Feibai asked them to burn bricks, he kindly reminded them that the time to make bricks was too long, and it was a waste to use so many people, and it would be enough to use one-tenth of the people, otherwise it would be equivalent to squandering the silver for the hired people. But Li Feibai didn't take it seriously, just smiled slightly.

Just standing outside the door, and hearing that Li Feibai still wants to hire people, he reminded him again, and emphasized that it will take half a year just to dry the cement coldly, so that Li Feibai can wake up and carefully arrange the manpower, so as not to start working and eating silver in vain, and then it will be a loss-making transaction. When he saw that Li Feibai still didn't take it seriously, he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, and said secretly: "You have a lot of money to lose, what kind of heart do I have?" ”

Then he said: "At this time, you have to start shaking the cement, it is definitely not possible to use manpower, you have to use cattle to step on it." After stepping on it for a day or two, the mud is evenly stepped on, the mud is molded into squares, and the bricks are made. However, it is not yet possible to burn in the cellar, and the bricks must be cooled and dried, at least one or two months, and at most three or five months, until the bricks are completely dry, before they can be put into the furnace to burn. Burn it for more than ten or twenty days, put out the fire, cover the cellar, and cool it for more than ten days, and the bricks will be! ”

After hearing this, Uncle Liu was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "I originally wanted to burn bricks very easily, build more cellars, burn 100,000 bricks in one cellar, build more than ten or twenty cellars, and produce bricks five times a month, and a brick can earn 20,000 taels in a month." Who knew that burning bricks was so troublesome, it took a year from the cellar to the bricks, and there was not much money to be made! According to the ten cellars, it is only two thousand taels. Eldest nephew, you use 500 people in the factory at once, even small workers lead big workers, how can you spend more than 1,000 taels a month, wouldn't you have to pay 10,000 taels that year. So, I think ......"

What do you think? Uncle Liu didn't finish his words, but shook his head helplessly. Everyone else understood what he meant, and it was okay to do this kind of loss-making business.

Li Feibai didn't speak, and glanced at Jin Damin with a smile.

Jin Damin said: "I won't only burn a cellar of bricks a year, but the first year is a waste of time due to the cold drying of cement and cold drying bricks, but only the first year is more than a year to dry some cement bricks, and after the second year, take one side to dry one side, about a month to produce a cellar." ”

Uncle Liu's face turned red, and he secretly said that he just thought that he would lose money in the first year and make money in the second year? However, how much can you make money, maybe there is no stone carving business left? He thought about it for a while, and still said: "Big nephew, you have only made thousands of taels in the business of selling stone lions, and you are buying tea and building a stone carving factory, and now the stone carving factory has hired so many people, and the remaining money in your hand is only afraid that it will not be enough for people to start work and eat silver, and now you have to build a brick factory and build roads, where does all this money come from?" ”

He paused, smiled and continued: "The brick and tile factory will pay for the first year!" If you don't have such a big head, let's not wear such a big hat. Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and business should be done one by one. In my opinion, it is better to find a way to start a stone carving business first, and then think about other transactions when you make enough money. As for the number of stone lions, if it really doesn't work, go to the countryside to find some stone carving masters. ”
