Chapter 164: Follow the Path

Craftsmen serve hard labor, six times, two months a year, the court will not pay wages, if the construction period is tight, if you encounter a ruthless palace supervisor or supervisor, you may lose your life at any time, let alone earn silver taels.

The deadline is filled with human lives, which is why many people are reluctant to do hard labor. Labor hurts the people, not to mention the white work, and there is a possibility of losing a small life.

The two didn't look for another place, so they took the paper and pen in the house, Chen Ping's main pen, and the calligraphy of the brush, which was ugly, but they could also be recognized, and they made a contract together. In duplicate, they signed and put their fingerprints on them, and then put them away.

"Can I get this drawing back?" Yang He had already looked through the drawings of tables, chairs and other utensils, which were not exhaustive, but the style of the tables and chairs made Yang He very interested, and asked Chen Ping, "Can I also sign a copy of the contract between you and Craftsman Zhao?" ”

"For the time being, I can only take one drawing." The drawings Chen Ping wants to keep them as secret as possible, the design of the tables and chairs above is unique in this era, this is a patent, it is the first hand, "Yes, but I have another suggestion for Yang Gong." ”

On the side, Yang He agreed on the contract between Chen Ping and Zhao Gui and listened to the details, and the silver two recorded a rough estimate in his heart, it was more money than the previous method, so he also wanted to sign a copy with Chen Ping.

"You say." People who can draw such detailed drawings, don't look at them as just a young man who has not yet become a child, Yang He still values it.

"If Yang Gong wants to make this table and chair, do you plan to make one by one, or do it separately and make each part of the table and chair?" Chen Ping asked, there is no idea of an assembly line at this time, the skills are all private, it is strange to be able to throw out the drawings and the method of the fire kang like himself, but it can speed up the progress, even if it is to invest more silver taels, it can be bearable.

As for skills, although Chen Ping feels that it is a pity, Chen Ping pays more attention to people than methods. The 21st century needs talent, is it not needed now?

It is only necessary to build a palace and make one's life more comfortable, such as craftsmen and merchants, who are only small in the eyes of those in power.

Clerical practice is the mainstream at this time.

"What a waste." Yang Guang doesn't want it, Chen Ping wants it, and it needs a lot of craftsmen, businessmen, etc., as long as there is a skill.

Even if he doesn't have any skills, just one person, Chen Ping is satisfied. If you don't have skills, you can cultivate them. As long as there are people, everything is easy to do.

The ondol drawings are just bait thrown out, waiting for these craftsmen to take the bait. But in reality, the temptation of this bait is still very great.

"The law is not spread, this is the ability to eat, and it is necessary to do it alone." Yang He said, "Don't worry, I have an apprentice to help, and I won't delay your business." ”

"I believe this, but I have a better way, why don't Yang Gong try it?" Chen Ping said, "You see, the chair legs, the chair surface, the back of the chair, and the size are all available, and they can be made separately." It's the person who has vague skills, so he only asks him to make this chair leg, one can't do one, four, five, do too much, always skilled, right? ”

"One person only needs to be responsible for one part, and you don't have to do it all, isn't it less difficult?" Chen Ping said in a persuasive tone, "The difficulty is low, Yang Gong, you can find more people, isn't this speed faster?" ”

"But this technique can't be passed on." Even if it is passed on to the apprentice, if the time is shallow, Yang He will also keep a few points, not to mention those with poor conduct, just as a miscellaneous servant to summon, "If you follow you, invite more people, won't the technique be passed on?" ”

The craftsman relies on exclusive craftsmanship, and if the apprentice is all right, what does the master rely on to eat?

At the moment, this is a real problem. At this time, it was still a small-scale peasant economy, self-sufficient, and the commodity economy was not developed, so there were few places that needed craftsmen.

There is a lot of work, and a large amount of labor, such as digging ditches and building palaces in the imperial court, is free labor. This leads to a problem, there is no work to do, and income is reduced.

At this time, one more person knows how to craft, and there is one more person to grab a livelihood with himself, and it is not surprising that he cherishes himself.

"How can it be spread?" Chen Ping asked strangely, "Yang Gong, do you think that one person has one part, if he goes outside, can he make tables and chairs?" ”

"No, but if they are in one place, isn't this technique a spread?" Yang He was still a little worried.

Chen Ping tilted his head back, squinted, and sighed: "Yang Gong, you are confused, if this is true." Then the apprentices you are bringing now, do they all have to break their hands and cut off their tongues? If it is a true outreach, they are more likely to be outspoken. ”

"According to such a dedicated method, Yang Gong, you can make a large number of tables and chairs in a short time." Chen Ping has more than one kind of table and chair, but the amount of each one is relatively large, "You and I cooperate not only this time, in the future, my restaurant will have to be opened to Jiangdu, to Jingshi and other places, and tables and chairs are needed." ”

"Besides, Yang Gong, what do you think of my table and chair utensils?" Seeing that Yang He's expression was a little relaxed, Chen Ping decided to add another fire.

As long as you open an opening, things will go as smoothly as a bamboo.

"It's new, it's very rare, I've never seen it before." Yang He praised from the heart.

I haven't seen it is nature, Chen Ping designed according to the ideas of later generations, and the vision and pattern are naturally broader. Chen Ping didn't dare to make drastic changes in terms of clothes, but in terms of construction and tables and chairs, as long as they did not exceed the rules, there was no problem at all, and there was no construction planning department or construction permit system at this time.

"When this table and chair come out and put it in the restaurant, and the diners see it, what do you think they will think?" Chen Ping said, "First of all, they will wonder how this table and chair are different. Then I will inquire, where did this table and chair come from, there must be someone who wants to buy a few to put at home, I will tell them, this is Yang Gong, you made it. After a while, there will be more and more people who think that this table and chair is really good, and they all want to find Yang Gongyou. Yang Gong, think about it, will you still be able to do it then? ”

"It's not enough, but even if there are more than twenty of them every ten years, the money I earn is enough for my family." Yang He is very content.

"Confused!" Chen Ping was a little angry, and his tone was heavier, "Yang Gong, you don't want to think about it, can you wait, those who want tables and chairs can wait for you?" If there are 100 people waiting for tables and chairs, you can only make 30 in one month, and 30 in the second month, it will take at least three months to finish all the 100 sheets. If it were you, would you wait for March? ”

"Besides, since this table and chair are so in demand, there will definitely be people copying them. You can't do that, they're looking for someone else. Chen Ping said pitifully, "Think about it, it's all money, just because the amount you can do in ten years is limited, it's all for others to earn." ”

Following the temptation, Chen Ping analyzed the interests and disadvantages with Yang He, knocked out some of Yang He's unrealistic ideas, and there was only one choice left.

"But this thing, after all, is a family heirloom. At the beginning, ...... "The plot has existed since ancient times, and Yang He's heart knot can't be opened for a while."

"Yang Gong, your father passed on this technique to you, and you misunderstood." Chen Pingdao, his tone was slightly overstepping, "Is that to make you not spread the law?" If that were the case, he would have made you make a rule not to accept apprentices. He wants his children and grandchildren to have a guard of honor, so that they can earn some money by relying on this technique, so that they will not starve to death. Now, you have an opportunity to earn tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of silver, why should you give up? ”
