As soon as Dai Qi said this, the smile on Han Wen's face became even brighter, and he waved his hand again and again pretending to say: "How can this make this a stove made by your workshop, and it is a great contribution to changing it, it is better to use his name." ”

No matter how stupid Su Hao is, he knows that he can't compete for honor with the leader. For Dai Qi's quick wit, he admired it so much, no wonder Ming Taizu firmly believed that officialdom was a dye vat, and Dai Qi's grasp of the rules of officialdom was far above Su Hao.

"Lord Han, naming this stove Han's stove is the common wish of all the servants in our workshop. Without the wise leadership of Lord Han, how could we have designed such a stove. Besides, this stove is only a product designed, and only by promoting it in the name of Han Daren can it truly become a weapon for the benefit of the people. In this sense, this stove is named after Lord Han's surname, which is well deserved. Su Hao talked eloquently.

"Master, look at ......" Han Wen pretended to be embarrassed, looked at Fang Mengjin, and waited for him to make a statement.

Fang Mengjin pretended to be deep and said: "Lord Han, in the foolish opinion of the old man, if the firewood stove in this province can be promoted in the whole county, it will indeed be able to be popularized by the people. However, in order to promote the firewood stove in this province, it is necessary to reassure the people, and not to let the traitors profit from it, and there must be a person of high moral virtue who comes out to sit in the town. It is indeed a good idea to name this stove Han's stove, which can borrow the prestige of adults and deter villains. It's just that, in this way, adults will inevitably be said by Qingliu to sell their reputation, and Yu's reputation will be damaged, and adults should think twice. ”

"If this matter can really be beneficial to the people, why should Han be in vain?" Han Wen said awe-inspiringly.

Su Hao watched these people play sycophants superbly, and his heart was really full of admiration. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Lord Han, since you have agreed to us borrowing your name, can you please write the three words 'Han's Stove' in person to be the treasure of our workshop?" ”

"It's easy." Han Wen was in a very good mood, stood up and walked to the table, lifted the lake pen, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote the three big characters "Han's stove" on a piece of rice paper......

After setting the general policy, Han Wen ordered Dai Qi to be responsible for handling the specific matter, while Su Hao focused on digging wells to find water. Su Hao and the others bowed to Han Wen and Fang Mengjin and exited the lobby.

Outside the lobby, Dai Qi sent Wu Da back to the workshop first, pulled Su Hao to a secluded place, bowed deeply to Su Hao, and said: "Master Su, Dai has never had some credit for this provincial firewood stove, but Master Su said in front of Master Han that it was discussed by the villain and the master, and Dai was grateful. ”

Su Hao said with a smile: "Lao Dai is polite, I said a long time ago, the messenger of the workshop is your old Dai after all, since this matter is done in the workshop, how can you not hang your old Dai's name?" ”

"Master, I just calculated, if this promotion of Han's stove can be as we wish, at least 30,000 households will be promoted in the county, and the workshop will be able to deduct the salary paid to the craftsman, at least 1,500 taels of silver will be left. What does the master think about the distribution of these silvers? Dyche asked.

The benefits that can be brought about by such a thing as an administrative monopoly are very considerable. As a scrivener in the workshop, Dai Qi knows such a famous name, but he can't find such a good project to do in the past. This project to promote the provincial firewood stove can bring political achievements to the county, and can also benefit the people, and on this basis, it can also bring rich benefits to the workshop, which is really a good thing for all parties. The root of this matter fell on Su Hao, and Dai Qi naturally wanted to talk to Su Hao about the distribution of interests first.

Su Hao said: "Lao Dai, my original idea was to pay two cents of silver to the county government for each stove, but now I listen to Lord Han and say that I don't have to pay these two cents......

Dai Qi didn't wait for Su Hao to finish speaking, then showed a weird smile, and said with a smile: "Master, although these two cents of silver, although they don't have to be handed over to the county government, our workshop can't be deducted, you should understand what this means, right?" ”

"Oh!" Su Hao sighed softly, and then laughed self-deprecatingly. Han Wen said that the money did not have to be handed over to the county government, but did not say that it did not have to be handed over to himself. The money handed over to the county government must be recorded in the accounts, but the money handed over to the county magistrate himself does not need to be recorded in the accounts. The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were outrageously low, and who had to find a way to get some gray income? Even a scribe like Dai Qi can be greedy for money, how can Han Wen not take kickbacks from it?

Thinking of Han Wen's smile so bright before, it is estimated that he has already thought that he can get these silver taels, but Su Hao is still in the dark, which is really pedantic.

"Lao Dai, I'm not good at this matter, so I'll leave it to you." Su Hao was as good as a stream, and immediately delegated power to Dai Qi.

Dai Qi said: "Master, you are still young, and you have been on an errand in the county government for a short time, and you don't know the rules in the county government for a while, so it is more appropriate for me to handle this matter." However, don't worry, Master, if you treat Dai with sincerity, Dai will definitely be loyal to Master. ”

"Lao Dai, we are colleagues, and there is no need to say that we are loyal. I just hope that the money left in the workshop will be available to everyone. In the technology of this provincial firewood stove, there is a share of Wu Da, I promised to give him a dividend for each stove, do you think it is appropriate to wear it? Su Hao asked.

"Hmm......" Dai Qi hesitated slightly, then nodded and said, "Since the master has already agreed, Dai will naturally do it." Give Wu Da a share of dividends, but I should also do it, I'm just worried that the other officials will be red and say that the master is biased, which will be detrimental to the reputation of the master. ”

"You're right." Su Hao said that he promised Wu Da a dividend of one cent of silver for each stove on the first day, which was indeed a bit reckless, he only thought about how to subdue Wu Da, but ignored the feelings of other people. Think about it, each stove workshop got a total of five cents of silver, two points were given to Han Wen, one point was given to Wu Da, and the others only got two points in total, so it is inevitable that some people will be unhappy.

However, Su Hao also has his own ideas, and what he can bring to the workshop is definitely more than just a firewood-saving technology. For the other officials, he has more skills to share with them, and everyone will be able to profit from them.

"Lao Dai, this matter will be arranged like this first. When I come back from the well survey, I will find other opportunities for everyone to make money, and I dare not say that it should be easy to get one hundred and ten taels of silver for each official a year. Moreover, the way of these silver is above board, and Lord Han will not only not blame us when he knows it, but will also praise us. Su Hao said.

Dai Qi said: "Dai now knows that Xiucai knows the world if he doesn't go out." Master Su used a little skill, and he made several times more money than those of us who were crooked and evil all day long, and Dai really admired it. Master, I want to divide the remaining silver into two, the officials of the workshop will share half of it, and the master and the villain will share the remaining half. In this half, the master takes sixty percent, and the small one takes forty percent, does the master think it is appropriate? ”

"Let's both split five or five." Su Hao said with a smile, he spent so much effort to come up with such a way to make money, of course, not only to learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds, but also to drop some silver by himself is a very important purpose. According to Dai Qi's distribution plan, if the two of them are divided into five, each person can get 150 taels of silver, which is also a huge amount of money. He has some other ways to earn money in his head, and if each method can bring him an income of 150 taels, it won't be long before he can become a glorious "thousand taels of households".

Dai Qi pretended to refusely for a long time, and finally accepted the plan of splitting fifty-five with Su Hao, with a smile on his face. He is already confident about the promotion of provincial firewood stoves, and Han Wen has already nodded, so he can use the name of the county government to promote it. Dai Qi has already thought that the people of the county must replace the provincial firewood stove, and this matter can only be done by the workshop, if the private plasterer dares to get involved, he will directly take the letter card of the county government to arrest people.

As for the benefits of this project, the result calculated by Dai Qi is much higher than that of Su Hao. He wouldn't give five cents of silver to the craftsman for each stove as Su Hao imagined, and if he could give two and a half cents of silver, he would already take care of Su Hao's emotions. According to the calculation of a craftsman building 10 stoves a day, each stove costs two and a half cents of silver, and he can earn two and a half cents a day, and it is seven or eight taels of silver a month.

As for charging from users, there are also a lot of tricks to play, for example, the materials must be prepared by the other party, and if the other party is not ready, they need to spend one or two cents of silver to buy from the workshop, so that they can increase some income.

Dai Qi didn't plan to hide these things from Su Hao, but he didn't plan to tell Su Hao now. He was going to wait for the money to be earned, and then send it to Su Hao to show his loyalty. He had already seen that Su Hao was a capable and generous person, and Dai Qi was determined to attach himself to such a person.

"Lao Dai, the matter of Han's stove, please bother you to handle it. This matter should be done sooner rather than later, and you have more experience than me in what should be done, so I will not go through it. I'll take people to the countryside to dig wells now, and if there is anything, we will contact you in time. Su Hao said.

Dai Qi said: "Master, please rest assured, Dai will definitely handle this matter well." The master is digging a well in the countryside, so take care of yourself. If there is something to do, even if someone comes back to tell Dai, Dai will not delay for a moment. ”

"Then thank you Lao Dai."

"Master, take care."
