"It's only one aspect that this thing works. That's the way I want it. Since we want to set up a machinery factory, we will build a factory that 'no one has me, and no one has me'. The general truth is that it depends on this when it comes to specific implementation. Xu Yuanzuo patted the lathe in his hand.

This lathe is really rudimentary, because the old carpenter has not studied physics, purely based on experience and assumption to manufacture, so the efficiency is not very high, to say that semi-automation is difficult to count. But doesn't everything start at the end of the day? If this lathe is so simple that it is not a lathe, there will be no real lathe in the future.

"The machinery factory is a factory that manufactures equipment, as long as we have a firm foothold in this, everyone will ask us in the future." Xu Yuanzuo continued: "What is this master called? ”

The old carpenter wiped his tears: "Don't dare, don't dare, the little old man's surname is Lu, you can call me Lao Lu." ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Mr. Lu is really a treasure among people, in this way, you quote a price, and this workshop will be bought by my Xu family." You and your apprentices can enter Xu's Machinery Factory. One should be welfare, by Xiao Yan to tell you. Although I don't care about the machinery factory, I still say: I think it is no problem for Mr. Lu to be a deputy chief engineer. ”

Lao Lu opened his mouth and made a ho-ho sound, and he didn't know whether he was laughing or being too surprised.

Yan Yu knows the status of the chief engineer, so the deputy chief engineer is one level lower than the chief engineer. Although the nineteen-year-old man had never expected to be the chief engineer, the appointment of such a dying-time old man as the deputy chief engineer still made him a little envious. He gently asked the ecstatic teenager beside him, "What's your name?" ”

"My surname is Master, Tianming." The young man grinned and said, "Brother Yan calls me Xiao Ming." ”

Yan Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth, which can be regarded as a formal acquaintance.

Xu Yuanzuo separated the crowd, walked to Yan Yu, glanced at Lu Tianming first, and felt that this kid was quite aura at a glance. His eyes were watery. Spinning fast, it's a standard smart face. And it's not ugly, and when you look up at people, it's like you're selling cuteness.

"Xiao Yan, let me have a word for you." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Yan Yu hurriedly patted Lu Tianming's back and told him to leave.

Xu Yuanzuo waited for Lu Tianming to run away, and then said: "The work of the machinery factory has already been done." I haven't teamed up yet, don't you think it's weird? ”

Yan Yu hurriedly said: "The little one knows that he works with Zuo Ge'er, so he didn't think about it so much." ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "That's not good. You have to think. Walking away two steps, the noisy voice in his ears suddenly became softer: "I want you to be in charge of this machinery factory." ”

Yan Yu's legs were sore, as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and hurriedly said, "I can't do it, I can't do it...... Zuo Ge'er, this is too small. ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled and shook his head: "No one is born to know, and Sage Kong has to consult others when he enters the Taimiao." Seeing that Yan Yu was still terrified, he said again: "Look." You have been doing work with your father since you were a child, building a team, hiring people, and you have never eaten pork, but you have always seen pigs run. ”

Yan Yu calmed down a little: "I know ...... this."

"The construction company and the machine factory are actually similar, except that the work is big over there and the work is small here. In addition, many carpenters are transferred from the construction company, and they are also relieved that you are the shopkeeper of this shop. Xu Yuanzuo said.

Yan Yu lowered his head: "These senior brothers are even for the sake of my father's face." It won't make it hard for me. ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Look, they are dissatisfied with each other. It's not good to call anyone to be the treasurer. You have a friendship with them, and you don't compare your skills with them, is it more appropriate to reconcile in the middle? ”

Yan Yu nodded slightly: "Brother Zuo said this, I am also a lot more relieved." But I'm not good at it......"

"It's okay." Xu Yuanzuo said firmly: "You know Liu Bang. Han Gaozu. ”

"I've heard the drama of "Cutting the White Snake"."

"Han Gaozu Liu Bang relied on three people to seize the world. Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin. Xu Yuanzuo said: "After he became the emperor, he said: In the strategic plan, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away." I'm not as good as Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang; Town the country, care for the people, give wages, and keep the grain, I am not as good as Xiao He. Even an army of millions. The battle must be won, the attack must be won, I am not as good as Han Xin. But I can make good use of these three people, and this is the reason why I can finally win the world. ”

"Now that you are the director of the machinery factory, the key is to use your brothers and sisters well, and to use talented and skilled masters, rather than to roll up your sleeves and go into battle. Do you understand that? ”

Yan Yu only felt that Zuo Ge'er really knew everything and was profoundly knowledgeable. After listening to the drama hundreds of times, the same story becomes very reasonable to Zuo Ge'er. He nodded: "The little one will do his best." ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded: "Since you call me Brother Zuo, you and I will be brothers, so you don't have to be too polite in the future." ”

"Yes, Zogo." Yan Yu's heart was relieved. Although everyone calls Xu Yuanzuo "Zuo Geer", there are not many people who can be recognized.

"As a person, you can't talk in circles. If you have any difficulties in the machine shop, tell me directly. If I have any requirements, I will let you know directly. What I fear most is to guess each other's minds. Xu Yuanzuo said.

"Yes, I was about to ask my brother about strategy." Yan Yu said.

"First, the machine shop is used to make machinery. Is an axe and a whistle stick considered mechanical? Of course not, that can only be called a tool. Xu Yuanzuo pointed to the lathe behind him: "That kind of talent counts." ”

Yan Yu nodded and expressed his thoughts: "What we want to do is something like a loom spinning wheel, something that ordinary craftsmen can't make." ”

"Yes, it's to rob those big workers." Xu Yuanzuo lowered his voice: "Those big workers, build a loom a month, and it costs five taels of silver to bring materials, and it costs six or seven taels to sell it." We can collect accessories outside, we can install two or three units a day, the cost is only two taels, and four taels for takeaways, forcing those craftsmen to die can't do it. ”

"Then they ......" Yan Yu was a little unsure.

"They can come and work for us." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "When they come to work for us, they will install more looms every day, and the profits will be higher." In the future, the machine is improved, and the price can be increased. In addition to buying our machines on the market, who else can you buy? ”

Yan Yu nodded heavily: "I understand, Zuo Ge'er." This is not only the case for looms, but also for other complex ginning, spinning, and silk reeling. ”

Xu Yuanzuo was relieved: "You can draw inferences." Very good. So do you get the key? In addition to collecting spare parts with a general stop gauge, what is needed to manufacture machinery faster and better. ”

Yan Yu's gaze fell on the lathe, which was too simple to be more rudimentary.

"Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and we must be good at using things." Xu Yuanzuo said: "You select some clever and studious seedlings in the machinery factory, send them to the School of Economics to study and calculate first, and then learn physics in the future." When you can do more with less. ”

"Yes, Zogo." Yan Yu responded.

Xu Yuanzuo gave a few more words of encouragement, asked Qi Miao to take some silver, and invited everyone up and down to eat a table. He himself could not stay long, and he had to rush to meet people, talk, eat, and socialize elsewhere.

In this era, there are no telephones and e-mails, and the pace of work is much slower. There is no need to fly around. However, the time spent on the road has increased several times, the range of activities is smaller, the interpersonal relationships are more refined, the communication time is longer, and the social activities are more. In fact, the workload has not been reduced much.

"Go to the county." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Qi Miao asked Lao Huang to drive the car and went all the way south.

In later generations, it took dozens of minutes to drive, but now it takes three or four hours. It's just a matter of sinning, but the key is to waste time.

Xu Yuanzuo closed his eyes in the car to recuperate. After a while, I heard the snoring of the chess trick, and the spring sleepiness hit, and the young man was a little unbearable. If he hadn't rushed to Songjiang today, he would have taken a nap in the car.

The fact that I went to Songjiang today is not trivial.

From the novel, it is the elders of the clan who want to talk to him about life and work.

In general, there is a vote of no confidence in him. Impeachment of his various measures in the industrial layout of the Xu family.

The so-called elders are the second uncle Xu Kun and the third uncle Xu Ying.

"Father, what do you think that kid is doing? The cloth bank said this year that it would not release money, where would the money come from if it did not release money?! There are also architectural clubs, inns, academies, and book-engraving workshops that he runs, which one makes money? I can't see the accounts. Big brother should know, right? How much good did he give those mud legs? This is all using our family's money to buy people's hearts! The most important thing is that we actually donated our family's land for nothing, isn't this to break the foundation of our family! Xu Kun went out for a trip, and his eloquence was better than before, but in Xu Fan's eyes, he suspected that someone else behind him had an idea.

Xu Ying was originally in charge of the family's farm property, which is a typical example of a young son being favored. Now that 30,000 acres of land have been given to the Guangji Association, he has left so many thousands of acres of good land for his own use, and his income has plummeted, and he almost has to rely on monthly silver to spend outside. Even the county scribes and squires from all over the country who once befriended him stopped interacting with him.

After listening to the second brother's words, Xu Ying added a sentence indignantly: "That's it!" So much land, given to others for nothing, he really doesn't treat himself as an outsider! The fame he bought is all his! ”

Xu Jie sat on the Taishi chair, his eyes were ethereal, obviously open, but there was no focus, so people didn't know what he was thinking.

Xu Fan coughed dryly and said, "The field was donated to the Guangji Association, and it is still used in our own family." This year, the silver for the work and food of the servants at home, the bride money for the gentlemen of the Qingke, the silver for the engraved books and periodicals in the study, the silver used in the preparation of the "Ancient Training Collection", the silver for the resettlement of the victims, and the various expenses in the Shenghu Academy, all of these are all income from the land. ”

"These pieces of silver are said to be heaven-shattering, and five thousand taels are always stopped, right? And what about the rest? Xu Kun asked.

Xu Fan said in his heart: Your heart is so small. Where can five thousand taels be beaten?

The salaries of Xu Fan and Xu Yuanchun alone are 10,000 taels! In addition, the government officials at all levels of the prefecture and county yamen were rewarded, and the white errand was rewarded...... It also adds up to seven or eight hundred taels.

Of course, these are not enough for "outsiders" to do.

"More than that. However, it is also true that there is money left, and my father knows about it. ”

Xu Jie knew that the extra was not a little bit of silver, but tens of thousands of taels of silver. This is also what Xu Yuanzuo reported to him, and now he can't wash out the money, so it's just covered up on the books. In any case, the silver must not have flowed out, and it was hidden in the Xu family's silver cellar.

If it were a different person, he would definitely not be able to be so careful and cautious as Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Fan opened the topic and said: "The academy is not to make money, it is to benefit the township and revitalize culture and education." As for the construction club and the inn, the shopkeeper has given a lot of money this year, but those people are the seeds of our family. In the future, if you have to rely on them to spread out the branches, what is the point of earning less? and he did not lose any money. ”

Xu Fan said, glancing at his father.

Xu Jie still didn't say a word.

This in itself is an attitude.

Xu Kun was unaware and said, "Isn't it just to start an industry to make money?" If you don't hold the money in your hands now, you can't say who will go to it in the future! ”

"What a bastard!" Xu Jie's eyes suddenly ejaculated, and he patted the handrail and shouted: "Are you going to curse the old man to die early!" ”

Xu Kun was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he chewed the words he blurted out just now, a cold sweat came down. That "in the future" is really easy to make people think crookedly, as if he is hinting at the distribution of family property after his father's death. He hurriedly defended: "Father, rest your anger! How dare a child mean that! It's just that now the court is surging, in case the high-tech Zheng is called the country, how can I live if I want to rectify my family? ”

"I'm not dead yet!" Xu Jie said angrily.

Xu Fan hurriedly came out to play a round: "Second brother, you are really worried. Even if Gao Xinzheng wants to attack our family, are we just fish and meat to be slaughtered? ”

Xu Kun hung his head, not daring to speak more, lest he depict it darker and darker.

Xu Fan continued: "On that day, my father established the Guangji Association and donated the family property, which was exactly the plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell. What do I have in my house now? The bookstore and the academy are to revitalize local culture and education, which is to do good deeds; The construction club is responsible for paving bridges, repairing roads, and dredging rivers, which is also doing good deeds; There are thousands of acres of land, and it all depends on inns and cloth shops to earn some eleven profits. These are brought to the Golden Palace and said, we are not afraid. ”

He saw that Xu Kun was about to speak again, and said: "We even took out our own homes for the township party to use, if the family is poor, if Gao Gong is no longer forgiving, the imperial history of the world will not be able to look at it." ”

Xu Kun looked at his father, but he didn't expect his father to acquiesce to the eldest brother's statement. He also reacted at this time, the little Xu Yuanzuo, who is the eldest brother's righteous son, what qualifications does he have to decide on the affairs of the Xu family? Aren't they all Xu Jie, Xu Ge's old clapper? Attacking Xu Yuanzuo at this time, what is the difference between pointing at Sang and scolding Huai?

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Kun's arrogance dissipated and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

There was silence in the study.

After a while, Xu Cheng's voice came in: "Master, Brother Zuo'er is here." ”

When Xu Kun heard the word "Brother Zuo", his scalp suddenly went numb. Some people in Ying Tianfu also talk about this sudden "Zuo Ge'er", almost to the point of being divine.

Xu Yuanzuo came in slowly, first saluted Xu Jie, then saluted Xu Fan, and then stood beside Xu Fan to salute the two clan uncles, and couldn't find the slightest fault.
