Chapter 67: A Sudden Extra Mouth
A few days later, when someone came to the palace, Li Hang realized that his previous idea was simply wrong.
Originally, I thought that this so-called tribute was just dyeing with good rouge.
But when the eunuch came, Li Hang found that things seemed to be different from what he had said.
After this soap became a tribute, many craftsmen came to the inner courtyard of the palace, and the first thing these craftsmen did after coming was to recognize Li Hang as the master.
"Your Majesty has no intention of mastering this secret recipe for soap, but because of the rules of the palace, this craftsman must be in the palace to rest assured, Li Xiucai can rest assured, if anyone dares to escape secretly, just kill him!" The eunuch snorted coldly, glanced at the craftsmen over there, and a large group of craftsmen were silent, and none of them dared to make a sound.
"In the future, these people will be rewarded to Li Xiucai as a house slave!"
House slaves?
After receiving the holy decree, Li Hang stood up.
"The two fathers-in-law have worked hard, please go to the cold house to rest for a while, the cold house has prepared some small snacks, please ask the two fathers-in-law to evaluate and evaluate."
Died of heat in summer, at this time Li Hang's house still had ice cubes, and when the two eunuchs saw that there were ice cubes, they immediately twisted and came up, and they were close to Zhao Haikuo, who was shaking a pu fan on the side. A pair of thief's slippery eyes caught the shaved powder.
After the two eunuchs left, Li Hang walked in front of the craftsmen, and just as he wanted to speak, the craftsmen knelt down in unison. "Master!"
I'm going to go! O evil feudal society!
"What kind of craftsmanship do you have, report it to me, and I'll assign you things to do!"
The results are very interesting.
Blacksmiths 15 people
2 carpenters
2 carvers
5 masons
5 spice workers
20 handymen
The combination of these forty-nine people made Li Hang slightly stunned.
There are a lot of blacksmiths and handymen!
Looking at Zhao Haikuo on the side, Li Hang understood.
"Father-in-law, this iron tool must also be ......"
The eunuch smiled and put down his chopsticks. "Li Xiucai, Your Majesty said it! Since the artifact is a diagram you draw, you must be more familiar with the joints, and it is best for you to control it! ”
Li Hang rolled his eyes, and now he didn't even have the affairs of the Zhao family.
"This ...... The grass people had to do their best! "But there are masons and carpenters, and it's not a problem to build a few sheds.
It's just that where this shed is built, this is a knowledge.
The Su family gave him so much land, in addition to building a new house, Li Hang also had a bold idea.
There is a small hill near this Donglin Port, although it is not very high, but there is a saying in this Donglin Port, which is called Xiaohugang. This Xiaohugang is the hill, as long as the house is built upwind, the workshop is built downwind, as for the smell of the workshop will wander around this Xiaohugang, it will not go to Donglin Port.
"Let's build a shed here, one is our soap workshop, this is the blacksmith's workshop, and we are going to build an oil mill! In this way, the three workshops can enclose the vicinity of this small hill tightly, and when the time comes, the Zhao family only needs to arrange three hundred military households here, and this place can be protected, and others will not want to take a peek. ”
The main reason for putting the three workshops together is to mix the raw materials so that others can't figure out the recipes.
As long as others can't figure out the formula, then it's easy to say anything.
"Li Xiucai! I'm afraid you're going to catch up with the imperial chef in the palace! The eunuch pointed at Li Hang with a smile on his lotus finger, and saw that his chrysanthemum was tight.
"If my father-in-law likes it, I naturally know everything, but father-in-law, this tribute has to have a charter, I don't understand this thing at all, I don't know how to get this tribute?"
The eunuch covered his mouth and snickered, and then told Li Hang about the rules of this tribute.
The soap used by the emperor of the Great Win Dynasty naturally cannot be a cheap product with garbage rouge, but needs to be used to enhance the fragrance of the rouge used by the emperor in the palace.
This box has to be packed with the best sandalwood, and the carving process on it must also be like that.
But more importantly, these tributes will be escorted by eunuchs before they are delivered, and someone will try the same pot of soap every time they come out.
Although these craftsmen don't want money, Li Hang still feels that all his body hurts except for the eggs.
Forty-nine people!
In addition, there are close to No. 20 people in his yard, and he hasn't started to make money yet, so he has to feed the No. 70 people first.
That's not a good thing!
It's so hard to make some money these days!
These seventy or so people moved in at once, and the large courtyard of the fourteen houses they had just obtained was instantly insufficient.
Although there are a lot of shops, I have a room with Zhou Yurong!
Xiao Xin, an eight-year-old girl, has to have a separate room!
The injured great monk allowed the monk to have to ask for a room, although she could still sleep two disciples to take care of her, but this time she went to three rooms.
The remaining eleven rooms are equivalent to seven people living in each room.
All of them can only sleep in bunks.
Next Olympics! After decades of hard work, I returned to the pre-liberation period overnight!
Mrs. Su came to chat with Li Hang every day, and occasionally went to see the production of the workshop.
But there was something else she was most concerned about. "Li Xiucai, this pig trade is not easy, dozens of pigs to be sent over I am afraid it will take a long time, and the transportation is also very troublesome, this is ......"
"I have a way to do it, what if we encourage a few villages around us to raise pigs? As long as a few surrounding villages find it profitable, we can get pork quickly, and I have a way! Let the people in this neighborhood be more active in raising pigs! Those pork fats are more! ”
Li Hang smiled, this method of castrating pigs probably wouldn't have thought of it.
"Oh?" Mrs. Su looked curious, is there such a way to show this show?
"It's easy! The main thing is to castrate those pigs, and it just so happens that these military lieutenants are going to learn this method of stitching, so it is better to take advantage of the situation and let them learn this! ”
Li Hang smiled, the carpenter and mason have been more attentive these days, building a stove and building a shed in the new shed.
This kind of shed can basically withstand the wind and rain, even if the snow falls, it will not be crushed, so you only need to build walls around it later, and open a few large windows.
That's pretty much it.
After a few stoves were built, Li Hang also specially asked the mason to make a lot of bamboo, and opened up the joints inside as a flue, and this flue had to go to the oil-squeezing workshop on the beams of the house.
In this way, in the summer, it only needs to be plugged up, and the smoke will be sent to the oil mill along the bamboo pipes.
"Seriously, it's a waste of rouge for what was added to this soap, I have a way to make something better." Li Hang sighed, this rouge gouache or something, it is estimated that there is no need for it.
After all, most of these rouge gouaches in these years are lead-contained, and the kind of rouge obtained by crushing rouge worms is better, and Li Hang who contains lead will not use it, so it is better to get a still and pour some flavor out of it yourself.
You must know that many cosmetics in these years are not pure natural, and some will even put some lead powder into them in order to achieve the whitening effect.
But watching this shed being built day by day, Li Hang almost cried.
Not moved, but poor!
