Chapter 29: The Manor Outside the City
If it was the Yun family a year ago, it would be easier to recruit craftsmen, after all, the status of craftsmen is relatively low, as long as there is money, a large number of people can be recruited, but it is difficult to recruit people from the Mo family, Yunhua County is a couple, the land is barren, how can such a place attract talents, and talents are not willing to come to Yunhua County.
Now it's different, Yunhua Yun's reputation has soared, if Yun's invites some talents, the chance of success will increase a lot, but how much it will increase will be marked with a question mark.
It took some time and experience for the Yun family to finally recruit a person from the Mo family for Yun Yi in Zezhou, but he still had something to do, and he couldn't come over until March.
A few years ago, the blacksmiths that Yunyi needed had been placed in a manor outside Yunhua County, and the manor belonged to the Yun family, and Yunyi asked for it directly, you must know that now the Yun family has more than 1,500 gold from Yunyi's private property every month, and more and more, giving Yunyi a manor is nothing, not to mention that Yunyi was originally the patriarch of the Yun family, and everything he wants should be Yunyi's say.
In the manor, the blacksmith workshop was set up, the stove, bellows, and iron-striking tools were all available, and a batch of pig iron purchased by Yunyi was also transported to the manor.
After the New Year, Yun Yi took Shangguan Yuling out of Yunfu and went to the manor outside the city, on the one hand, Yun Yi wanted Shangguan Yuling to come outside to breathe, Shangguan Yuling had never gone out since she married Yun Yi, and on the other hand, Yun Yi's plan officially began.
Coming to the outside of the city by car, Yun Yi and Shangguan Yuling got out of the carriage and strolled forward, from Shangguan Yuling's bright smiling face, Yun Yi could feel Shangguan Yuling's mood.
Shangguan Yuling was still a fourteen-year-old girl when she first married Yunyi, and she was only fourteen years old to marry and have children, which is a very common thing in this era, she was supposed to be an innocent girl, but now she has quickly transformed into a dignified and steady little woman, only when she is alone with Yunyi, Shangguan Yuling will show some innocence that originally belonged to a girl, and when there are others, Shangguan Yuling will always maintain a dignified and steady posture.
Now Yun Yi and Shangguan Yuling are walking in front, the carriage and the guards are far behind, only no one else is nearby, Shangguan Yuling's laughter like a silver bell has increased, and an ordinary mountain can also become a topic of conversation between Shangguan Yuling and Yunyi and lead to Shangguan Yuling's laughter.
Shangguan Yuling's laughter also made Yun Yi's heart relax.
"It's good to have a wife like this!"
Yun Yi didn't know what Shangguan Xiying, the daughter of the Shangguan clan who was supposed to be his wife, was like, and he had never asked Shangguan Yuling, but now Yun Yi felt that Shangguan Yuling was the most suitable wife for him.
Playing some kung fu, Shangguan Yuling stopped, Shangguan Yuling knew that Yunyi still had something to do when he went out, and it was already okay to be able to accompany him for so long.
Without speaking, Yun Yi looked at Shangguan Yuling's eyes and understood everything, Yun Yi beckoned to the guards who were hanging far behind, the guards took the carriage to speed up, and the two sat in the carriage again, and the carriage rushed quickly in the direction of the manor.
The road outside the city is uneven, even if there are a few more layers of mats in the carriage, the two people sitting on it still feel bumpy, fortunately, both of them are warriors, and they can't reach the point of being weak and windless, but Yun Yi remembered in his heart that he asked the blacksmiths to add shock absorbers to the carriage, and the main body of the shock absorber is a spring, which is very simple to manufacture.
When he came to the manor, Yunyi walked out of the carriage and saw Xu Hui standing next to the carriage.
"Young Master! Young lady! Xu Hui saluted Yunyi and Shangguan Yuling.
Yunyi: "No courtesy! Lead the way ahead. ”
"No."
Xu Hui got up to lead Yunyi and walked towards the manor.
Shangguan Yuling originally wanted to get out of the car and follow Yun Yi into the manor, but was stopped by Yun Yi, there is nothing to see in the manor, there are some living people inside, Shangguan Yuling is not suitable to go in as a woman, it is better to rest in the carriage.
The manor in front of Yun Yi covers an area of several acres, surrounded by an eight-foot-high brick wall, with front and rear doors, and Yun Yi and his party enter the manor through the front door.
The craftsmen living in the manor had been told in advance that Yunyi, the employer, was coming, and they had already gotten up before dawn, cleaned the inside and outside of the manor, and changed into clean clothes, waiting for Yunyi's arrival.
"Young Master!"
As soon as Yun Yi entered the manor, he heard a group of big bosses shouting loudly in their loud voices, which shocked Yun Yi's ears a little.
"No courtesy." Yun Yi said, but Yun Yi's footsteps did not stop, and continued to walk forward, having already passed Xu Hui, Yun Yi wanted to take a look around in this manor.
Because the manor was inhabited mainly by blacksmiths and their families, several large blacksmith workshops were established on the manor, and blacksmiths worked here.
Yun Yi walked into the workshop, and he was full of blacksmith tools: stoves, bellows, hammers, etc., which were similar to the scene imagined in Yun Yi's mind, although the blacksmiths had already cleaned it, but relatively speaking, the venue still looked a little dirty, and this environment was indeed not suitable for Shangguan Yuling to come in.
After Yun Yi turned around, he asked Xu Hui, who was following behind him, to call a few of the most skilled blacksmiths among these blacksmiths, and after a while, seven old blacksmiths about fifty years old stood in front of Yun Yi with trembling bodies.
Looking at the old blacksmiths who were a little restrained in front of him, Yun Yi opened his mouth and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, I just hired you to have some things I want you to build, if you build it, you will be rewarded, and I won't blame you if you can't build it." ”
Hearing Yun Yi's words, some restrained old blacksmiths' bodies relaxed a lot and were no longer so stiff.
Yun Yi beckoned, and a guard stepped forward with a roll wrapped in cloth, Yun Yi took the roll and opened the roll, but it was a drawing of rolled up steam engine parts.
"Let's see if you can make it?" As he spoke, Yun Yi handed the drawings to an old blacksmith in front of him.
The old blacksmith hesitated slightly, and stretched out a pair of large, rough hands tremblingly.
After handing the drawings to the old blacksmith, Yun Yi turned around and sat down, no longer looking at the old blacksmith, but talking to Xu Hui.
"Zike, how is the output of Yunhua paper recently?" Yunyi asked.
Xu Hui replied without thinking: "Master Hui, yesterday the paper mill made 726 pieces of Yunhua paper, 17 more than yesterday, with the increase in the number of hired workers and the improvement of the proficiency of the hired papermaking process, the amount of Yunhua paper made every year will continue to increase." ”
"Not bad." Yun Yi said a word plainly, but in Xu Hui's heart, it was a recognition of his work.
Xu Hui was happy in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface.
