Time passed in a hurry between Yang Meng and Cen Yuying's answers, Yang Meng had a general idea of his career, and Zhang Leathermaker also made a pair of eye-catching sample shoes.

Yang Meng put it on and tried it, and it felt pretty good, although it looked a little ugly, it was still relatively comfortable to wear.

"Leatherman, how much money can you and the coppersmith earn a month?"

Since the tancorners have their skills, it is better to use them, and it is also good to open a shoe factory.

"It's hard to say, when you live a lot, you can earn three or five taels a month, and when you don't have a lot of work, you can earn a family for half a month's food. Coppersmiths are sometimes not as good as me, and there are many people in Kunming City who do their work. ”

Seeing that the third grandfather of the Yang family was happy, Zhang Leatherman also let go of some and answered Yang Meng's question in a low voice.

"Then follow me and give you five taels a month, would you like to?"

Whether this shoe factory can be opened or not, it doesn't matter to Yang Meng, his focus is on his business, and opening this shoe factory is nothing more than to make himself more comfortable.

Yang Meng thought well, but Zhang Leatherman was a little reluctant, the third grandfather of the Yang family was too scary, follow him, and he would be killed one day if he didn't keep it, but five taels of silver a month was also a big temptation, and Zhang Leatherman couldn't make up his mind.

"Working for the Yang family in Kunming, don't you want this?"

I didn't expect that I really couldn't play in Kunming, and no one dared to ask for money, which was not a good thing, just by opening a shoe factory, I rushed to my notoriety in Kunming.

"Do things for Yang Buddha, do it without money!"

This cobbler is a little angry when he speaks, what do you do without giving money, and your reputation is so stinky?

Zhang Leathersmith also has no scheming, Yang Buddha is famous in Kunming, and his family is a big deal, can he treat himself badly? Following Yang Foye, ordinary Kunming bullies don't dare to provoke themselves, and the money they earn is all their own.

"The money will not be less, you can gather a few more leather craftsmen and coppersmiths, one or two is not too little, ten or eight is not too much, if you can gather all the people, go to Yangjiawuzhuang to find Lao Ding, he will arrange it for you."

Ding Baojun on the side also nodded, it is true that the overlord is scary, but the Ding Ye of the Yang family said that he can also count in Kunming, and Zhang Leathermaker has gained a lot of benefits, so he is naturally smiling.

"Don't be happy yet, make the third master's shoes better, and when you go to Yangjia Wuzhuang, bring them to the third master, don't think about any good things if you don't do it well."

For Yang Meng to hire a group of leathermen and coppersmiths at a price of five taels a month, Ding Baojun felt that he was at a loss, but this master was doing his right thing for the first time, so he would suffer a loss!

"Yuying, you record their shoe-making process, hand over the technical work to these masters, and hire some apprentices to do other rough work, so that the speed of shoes will be faster."

Cen Yuying, the scribe of Yiliang, has also temporarily become Yang Meng's housekeeper, whether this little cub is killed or not, and after seeing the old scribe of Yiliang, Yang Meng can make a decision, and it is not a good thing to be too suspicious.

In case this Cen Yuying really wants to follow him, it would be a pity to slaughter him with a knife, the most important thing is that he has no foundation now, Cen Yuying, as a native, still has a lot of use, even if he wants to kill him, he will wait until he squeezes out his oil and water.

Cen Yuying has no objection to Yang Meng's orders, a pair of strange-shaped boots, this third master can get it out in a few words, which is a little inconsistent with the name of the dumb overlord.

Cen Yuying also heard about Yang Meng's enlightenment, and he also wanted to see what could be so powerful about this enlightened person, although he followed Yang Meng to delay this year's exam, Cen Yuying felt that leaning on the big tree of the Yang family was definitely a shortcut.

Yang Meng thought about it in the yard, the shoe factory also needs tailors, so he simply recruited a few of the best tailors in Kunming City and got them into the shoe factory together, so that he didn't have to work hard.

The manpower is complete, the raw materials are solved by Lao Ding, and the next thing is to choose the factory site, this site selection is a big deal, the purpose of building this shoe factory is also to cover up his own drug factory, Wuzhuang is by no means a good place, as for where to build, this needs to be investigated by Yang Meng personally.

"Uncle Ding, these people should be settled in Wuzhuang first, if you don't want to go to Wuzhuang to live at home, you can give them two months' salary as a settling-in allowance, and when the shoe factory is built, they must go to work on time."

Yang Meng's words confused Ding Baojun, this is a shoe factory and a worker, but he didn't understand what his third master meant.

"Third master, but do you want them to work?"

Two months' wages are not a small amount for these craftsmen, and if they don't work with money, they can't say where they go.

"You don't have to do it first, you have money when you are idle, do you know someone who is familiar with the terrain of Kunming? Find it for me, it works! ”

The location of the drug factory must be secret and conducive to defense, and it must take a lot of time to find it, and if you find someone who is familiar with the geography of Kunming, the problem of site selection will be much simpler.

"This is easy to do, just let the county clerk come to help, for the geography of Kunming, there is no one more familiar than them."

Ding Baojun felt that this was not a problem, and if he found a few scribes, this matter would be easily solved.

"I can't find someone from the government, it's better to be my own people, I want to build a secret shoe factory."

As soon as he heard this, Yang Meng's head became bigger, and he asked someone from the imperial court to choose a site for his drug factory, isn't this nothing to do? I can't let the old man at home know about the use of opium to make drugs, and my own team can't be of great use, it's easy to say, but hard to do!

"Third master, there is an old scribe in Kunming, who followed the former governor Wu Qijun, when the governor Wu went to many places in Yunnan in order to compile the "Southern Yunnan Mine Map", this old scribe made great efforts in it, this person should be available."

Cen Yuying, this kid, how can he be inseparable from the old scribe? This one on the left and one on the right, it's quite useful to say it, what the hell does this kid want to do?

"Yuying! Why did you get involved with this old scribe, didn't you come to Yunnan to study? ”

This question really has to be asked clearly, otherwise it will be difficult to determine the purpose of this Cen Yuying.

"Students do learning in order to be officials, want to be good officials in the Qing Dynasty, having poetry and books in their stomachs is only one of them, the most important thing is to be a means of government, and the old scribes in various places are the best teachers, and when students are idle on weekdays, most of them spend their time on these old scribes."

There is no need to hide these things, Cen Yuying will answer truthfully.

"Not bad! Yuying, you are very good, who is the surname of this old scribe? What is the family situation? Does it work? ”

If it is really as Cen Yuying said, then this kid is really useful, it seems that eighty percent of what he said is true, if this is the case, this kid can't be killed easily.

"This old scribe's name is Jiang Shuxian, he is not very ambitious, he is more than fifty years old this year, his family background is not very good, he barely survives on dozens of acres of thin fields at home, if the price given by the third master is right, Jiang Shuxian should have no problem there."

This Cen Yuying not only learned things from these old scribes, but also knew their family backgrounds clearly, if he came to Yunnan as an official, this kid was unlimited!

"Uncle Ding, give me five hundred silver dollars! Yuying, these silver dollars are given to you, you can do whatever you want, these five hundred silver dollars are at your disposal, spend more and spend less, and the rest is yours, as a result, I only need one, that is, this Jiang Shu has contributed to the Yang family for half his life, of course, these are just fixed money, and I will pay his salary in the future. ”

When Yang Meng's salary came out, Cen Yuying was also a little puzzled, five hundred silver dollars wanted Jiang Shu to die first, was it a little less.

"Third master, what do you mean by the word salary? Students don't get it very well. ”

"How much is it a month, what do you call it?"

"Moon!"

Now Cen Yuying understood that the five hundred silver dollars were just the silver taels that he asked Jiang Shu to go out of the mountain first, and the Yang family came out after the moon, so the five hundred silver dollars were basically his own.

"His monthly salary will be paid by the Yang family in the future, and yours is the same, you set your own price, as long as it is not outrageous."

Yang Meng's income is not clear to Yang Meng, but Lao Tzu Yang Shiqin donates hundreds of thousands of silver a year, and his income is definitely several times or even more than ten times this amount, and money should not be a problem for the Yang family.

"Then the student will do it now! The third master can rest assured, this matter is nine out of ten. ”

With Yang Meng's promise, Cen Yuying's motivation is also there, just after a few years in the Yang family, then he will have the foundation to become an official in the future, and whether there is support from the Yang family or not, the problem is not too big.

Cen Yuying left, but Ding Baojun couldn't bear it, this kid surnamed Cen is very scheming, it's not a good thing, he still has to persuade the third master, such things are mostly white-eyed wolves, so I have to guard against it!

"Third master, this Cen Yuying's heart is too lively, he is not a suitable manpower, he can't use it, I'm afraid he will rebel against the Lord in the future!"

Lao Ding's worries are not groundless, this Cen Yuying is easy to use, he can reuse him in these two days, his ability is indeed not small, but the more capable people are, the more difficult it is to control, this Yang Meng also understands very well in his heart.

"It doesn't matter! This kid still has oil and water, and when he squeezes it clean, if it doesn't fit, it's not too late to kill it. ”

After listening to Yang Meng's words, Ding Baojun was also relieved, this master's methods are good.

The shoes made eyebrows, the choice of the factory site, and the eyebrows, it is not interesting to stay in Kunming City, the whole Kunming City is a little unkind to see himself, Yang Meng does not want to stay longer, not to mention that the injury in the back of his head has not healed, it is better to go back to Wuzhuang first, and then ponder the matter of the drug factory.

The three people who went shopping also came back, how did they go and how they came back, and the bag full of silver dollars didn't spend half of it.

"Didn't you go out and buy something? I haven't spent a penny of money, so what do you all buy, take it out and I'll take a look. ”

Who are these people? I won't spend money if I give it, it's really sad.

"Third master, Miss Tang has nothing to buy, and our brothers and sisters don't have anything to buy, so they came back after a turn."

"Useless thing, you can do whatever you want, you won't even spend a penny, and kill a fart person, follow me back to Wuzhuang!"

's own team, Ma Qinghu is too real, and Cen Yuying is too smart, if it can be neutralized, things will be beautiful.

If you don't buy something, don't buy it! Your own affairs have been recognized, your own career is the foundation of everything, and it is a big deal to go back and prepare to build a factory.
