Looking at the craftsmen who were emotionally moved by the drawings, Ye Qiu's mood was also a little dignified, under the feudal system, the craftsmen had already filed a case in the government, their children could not enter the school, and they could only inherit their father's business in the future, or go to join the army, women have no personal freedom, no talent is virtue, they were born in a humble family, they are destined to be inseparable from the title of 'untouchables' all their lives, even if they marry into their husband's family, they are basically suffering from the white eyes of their husband's family.

And these craftsmen, it is precisely because their ancestors have not read since childhood, so the ancestral craftsmanship because there is no written inheritance, only relying on the memory of one or two people, it is difficult to be completely inherited, resulting in many special skills are lost in the inheritance, and they can no longer be found, which has to be said to be a very regrettable thing.

These craftsmen get the inheritance of the craftsmanship of their ancestors naturally do not much, they really rely on the means of survival or rely on the accumulation of experience over time, only the increasingly mature skills, as for whether they can innovate, in the face of the reality of survival, they have long been unwilling to study, to ensure that the skills passed on to their hands by the previous generation are not humiliated by themselves, is already their greatest satisfaction.

"Let's talk about the drawings later, now, let's take a look at the workshop together, and then discuss how to change the most appropriate, and then I will come back to modify the drawings." Ye Qiu suppressed the emotions in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he had recovered a lot of strength and stood up, Meng Niu hurriedly ran to the front to lead the way.

"This ...... Ye Gongzi wants to build a quarry? ”

The workshop was not far away, and it would arrive in a while, and as soon as he arrived at the workshop, Lu Ming asked with a puzzled face.

Without waiting for Ye Qiu to reply, the black-faced blacksmith preemptively said: "If Ye Gongzi wants to build a quarry here, I think it won't work, two quarries have just opened in the south recently, and the stones over there are much better than here, this is Zeng Shi's workshop, I think he must have sold it to Gongzi cheaply, right?" ”

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, this seller's name is indeed Zeng Shishi. ”

"Childe blames me for offending the sledgehammer here," the black-faced blacksmith arched his hand with a serious face, and said, "If Childe takes over the quarry of Zeng Stone and continues to do this stone business, I'm afraid Childe is going to make a big mistake, I advise Childe to turn back now, if this workshop is rebuilt, it will be difficult to turn back!" ”

After the sledgehammer finished speaking, the other craftsmen also persuaded Ye Qiu not to build a quarry again, otherwise, they would rather not do this business than suffer a greater loss.

"The people of the lower classes are indeed the most simple." Ye Qiu thought in his heart, and said to them gratefully: "Don't worry, the business you want to do next is definitely not the work of this quarry, as for what it is, please forgive me for selling it down, you just need to try your best to help me rebuild this workshop, and when the time comes, not only will the salary be a lot for everyone, but there will also be some silver rewards!" ”

"Since Childe is not a quarry, then we are naturally willing to help Childe, as for the reward, we will naturally not dislike it, as long as Childe gives, we will accept it, and never be polite to you, everyone said, isn't it!" Lu Ming immediately laughed and made a small joke, which attracted echoes and laughter from other craftsmen.

Ye Qiu also smiled, waved his hand to signal them to calm down first, and then said, "In addition, please do the kid another favor." ”

"If Childe has anything to say, as long as we can do it, we will do our best!" Lu Ming stroked his somewhat gray beard and said.

"You have just seen it in my home, the boy's family is surrounded by four walls, and the number of people is scarce, if there are young people in your uncle's family who can listen to the call, please please introduce me to me, give one or two silver every month, and then arrange it into the workshop after the workshop starts, and then the monthly rate will increase tenfold!"

"Childe, is this true?" Lu Ming asked in disbelief, and the other craftsmen also looked at Ye Qiu expectantly, you know, the descendants of this wealthy family in Hangzhou have a maximum of five dollars of silver a month, unless you are the head of some kind of mansion or other mansions have an important position, Ye Qiu will give a month or two of silver when he opens his mouth, they don't dare to think of it!

"This is naturally true, and besides, your wages will be settled when the time comes, and I will also give you a proportional increase!" Ye Qiu now has money on his body, and he has the strength to speak.

"Ye Gongzi don't worry, when I go back today, I will let my children come to sign up, if Ye Gongzi can see it, it is better to stay in your mansion and be a subordinate!" Lu Ming quickly made a choice, and other craftsmen also recommended the men in their own families, as for the small courtyard where Ye Qiu lived, whether it was a mansion or not, they didn't care at all.

Ye Qiu then continued to release a big bomb: "Also, the women in your family can also come to sign up, as for the monthly case, it is the same as the men, it is one or two silver!" ”

"Childe, how can this be done!" Lu Ming's eyes widened suddenly, women and men are treated the same, in this era of male superiority and inferiority, in their opinion, this is simply against the sky.

"Childe, no, this woman is not as good as a man, how can she be treated the same as a man?" Another craftsman stepped forward and said.

Only the black-faced sledgehammer pointed at the opposing craftsmen and scolded: "You old stubborn! The daughter of Lao Tzu's family is raised like a man, and I don't see her inferior to a man! ”

"Your daughter is three or five thick, you naturally don't feel inferior to a man!" A person familiar with the matter broke the news.

Ye Qiu was a little embarrassed, and at first he thought that this big hammer had no patriarchal thinking like him, and he dared to think too much, this big hammer was even more fierce than he thought, and he directly used his daughter as a son!

"That's it, after you go back today, tell your children what I said, as well as your neighbors and relatives, all say it again, as long as their children are willing, they can come to my house to sign up, but there are only three days, and they can't wait!"

"Ye Gongzi rest assured, we will tell them the news when we go back!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

"Okay, now let's talk about the renovation of this workshop, my personal idea is that this side is close to the city gate, and a large exhibition hall will be made here, oh, the so-called exhibition hall is used to receive guests, and the things made in the workshop are divided into various types of places placed on the shelves for guests to visit.

There is an office behind this exhibition hall, which is where our managers usually stay, and here, facing the river, is the gate of the workshop...... Huh......" Ye Qiu looked at the back, and suddenly his mind flashed, "Well, there will be another gate behind this, and the processing workshop will be two, separated by the front and back, and the processing workshop will be made next to it......"

Ye Qiu began to carefully observe the terrain on the riverbank, while talking endlessly, he also took out a charcoal pen and paper in his hand, recording his observations and some whimsical ideas, after the actual survey, he had a more detailed idea of what kind of workshop he wanted to build.

"Okay, that's all for today, by the way, please go back and discuss what kind of materials should be used to build this workshop, my requirements are very simple, it must be strong and durable! Everyone also saw that there is a big river next to the workshop, I don't want this river to rise, and the workshop will start raising fish......" After talking for most of the afternoon, Ye Qiu's mouth was a little dry, and his throat was about to smoke.

"Haha, Childe said with a smile," Lu Ming said with a smile, "Childe rest assured, we will write down the materials that should be used after we go back, and first set a preliminary number for you to see, and when your drawings arrive, we will start work!" ”

"Then I'll have to bother you! By the way, please don't forget what you said today, the recruitment of workers, children in the family can come to sign up! Ye Qiu didn't forget to remind him, and all the craftsmen naturally didn't agree, and they all thanked him and left.

"Young master, if we change it like this, we will have to spend a lot of silver!" Seeing that Ye Qiu was renovating the workshop with great fanfare, it was completely a new workshop, and the silver spent at that time would definitely be like flowing water, Meng Niu said with a little pain.

Ye Qiu shook his head and signaled him not to care: "Don't worry, since I want to do it, I will make it bigger, and in the future, we can earn back a hundredfold, a thousand times this silver!" ”

Meng Niu was naturally convinced of his words: "Hehe, I'm just used to feeling sorry for silver." ”

"Of course I know this, in fact, I am also distressed, but for the sake of a good life in the future, this little money is really nothing!" Ye Qiu smiled, "By the way, there is still half of your money, when the workshop starts, let's divide this account well." ”

"Young master, since I wanted to follow the young master, I haven't thought about asking for that money, I just want to follow the young master well." Meng Niu hurriedly waved his hand and said hurriedly.

Ye Qiu immediately straightened his face and said unhappily: "Before this money, we agreed that one person would divide it in half, what should be yours is yours, don't shirk it, otherwise you will leave with the silver for me!" ”

"This ...... Well, all of the young master's! Seeing that Ye Qiu was angry, Meng Niu lowered his head honestly.

Ye Qiu patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You are in your twenties, naturally you have to save some money to marry a daughter-in-law to live a good life, I have been a little busy recently, and when you are free, you will know the benefits of having money, what kind of woman you want, what kind of woman you want to marry, you have to choose!" ”

"Yes, young master!" Meng Niu raised his head and replied gratefully.

"Let's go, it's time to go back, Qing'er should have prepared dinner."

Ye Qiu hammered Meng Niu's thick arm lightly, and walked towards the city gate in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Meng Niu looked at Ye Qiu's back, with a solid look in his eyes, and soon ran to follow.
