Chapter 149: Cheng Si who was calculated
The person who bought the bricks saw that Master Cheng had made up his mind, and sighed helplessly, this was a channel he had finally found, because the other party's bricks and stones were sold cheaply, and he could still steal some oil and water from them, and the result was ......
Compared with this Master Cheng's goods, the red bricks of Yunxi Technology are said to be how much is how much, and there is no room for bargaining at all. Do you want to go to Yunxi Village again to see if you can find a small workshop owner like this Master Cheng?
Unlike the direct abandonment of the person who bought the bricks, Fang Mu felt that he had grasped hope. He cautiously followed the other man, hesitating as to speak.
Master Cheng suddenly stopped, which made Fang Mu, who was in a state of thought, almost hit him.
Master Cheng looked at the stalker with an ugly face: "Brother, please say it directly, following Cheng like this, I am panicked." ”
Fang Mu's face turned red instantly: "Huh? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master Cheng, I'm Fu Fangmu, the master of building a house in Brick Kiln Village, I have admired Master Cheng's name for a long time, I want to visit but I'm afraid of being presumptuous, this ......"
Master Cheng was stunned, he thought that the other party was following him and wanted to buy red bricks, he had encountered a lot of this kind of thing these days, but he didn't expect this guy to come from the brick kiln village.
Of course, he had heard of the name of the brick kiln village, and the three wooden houses next to the cloth clothes salt well were built by the master master of the brick kiln village, and the level of the brick kiln village in terms of building houses was absolutely not said.
There is a very fine division of the craftsman's level, and the skills that can be called master masters must be super exquisite. Although he knows a little bit of brick-burning skills, compared with the other party, he must be far behind.
For capable masters, Master Cheng thinks about it and respects him very much: "It turned out to be Master Fang, and I have admired him for a long time!" I don't know what to do with me? ”
Fang Mu really didn't know how to speak, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth: "Master Cheng, I am very keen on the way of building a house, and I heard that Master Cheng has a deep knowledge in this area, so I have the courage to ask you for advice." ”
"Proficient?" Master Cheng smiled bitterly, "Master Fang, I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person, in this half bottle of water, except for burning red bricks, you don't understand anything else." And this ability to burn bricks will also be stolen and learned, and it will not be able to ascend to the hall of elegance. ”
******
It turned out that Master Cheng was Cheng Si, and he gathered the villagers of Yunxi Village to try to get out of Qian Yu's control, but he didn't expect Qian Yu to be very courageous, first unconditionally improving the food of the villagers, and then distributing wages and bonuses one after another, plus the support of the old village chief, so that his plan to pull people was stillborn.
Later, he simply opened a kiln at the entrance of the village with a few irons, and attracted customers who came to Yunxi to buy bricks at a low price, and the business gradually improved, and he made a lot of money from it.
He thought that because of his blatant digging of the wall, Qian Yu would definitely fight back with the old village chief, and he was ready to fight a price war with the other party.
As a result, Qian Yu not only did not target him, but also took the initiative to help him pull orders. The reason is that the other party no longer looks down on the retail industry within 100 yuan, and now specializes in wholesale. He asked that the wholesale price of Qian Yu's red bricks was more expensive than his retail sales, and he didn't know how he sold them.
Compared with Qian Yu's fairness and generosity, Cheng Si seems to be small-bellied, so that several of his irons look at him strangely.
Fortunately, Cheng Si himself is righteous, and the dividends he gets from selling bricks are evenly distributed, and he, as the leader, never tries to score more points because he is more tired.
Therefore, the small circle he worked so hard to get is quite harmonious.
Just when Cheng Si thought that his living state would not change much for a long time in the future, something happened. It's not that there is a problem with the bricks he burns, in this regard, he is much more dedicated than Qian Yu, the shopkeeper.
The problem is Qian Yu's Yunxi Technology. It is said that this guy sold the cement and those poisonous salts to a knife guard at a very high price, and then when the villagers of Yunxi Technology received the wages, they found that they received ten times more than the budget, yes, ten times!
The irons under his command immediately couldn't sit still, that's ten times the money!
Originally, although the brothers who worked with Cheng Si were tired, they took more money than Yunxi Technology, and everyone was quite harmonious overall. But now it's different, doing the same amount of work, but people get ten times more wages, what does this mean? It means that people work for a month, almost top you for a year!
At the beginning, these people were able to be pulled over by Cheng Si, just to make more money. Now that you don't have this advantage, naturally someone wants to leave, and the trend of leaving is getting stronger and stronger, and in the end he is the only one left.
Cheng Si is really out of luck now, if Qian Yu only gives those villagers a one-percent salary increase, he wants to think of a way, maybe he can still suppress this matter, but now it is ten times ...... Ten times the salary! He wanted to change jobs himself.
So the brick kiln that had just been built and barely burned was immediately shut down, and Cheng Si stayed at home for a few days, seeing that he was sitting on a mountain empty, he was already planning to go back to Datong Mansion to continue to work for the original master's family.
To his surprise, the next day, two officials from Qingfeng County came to him, saying that they had been recommended by Qian Yu and asked him to be in charge of the reinforcement of Qingfeng County.
Cheng Si's first reaction was disbelief, the reinforcement of the city wall in Qingfeng County was a rare good errand. Not only is the food good, the wages are also generous, and the person in charge still has oil and water to fish, which is much better than burning bricks by himself.
This can't be Qian Yu's conspiracy, right? He immediately asked the old village chief about it. Although he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the old village chief about digging people privately, he was a junior, with a lower posture and generous gifts, and the old man should not deliberately make things difficult.
The old village chief's heart was broader than he imagined, and he was indeed calculated by Qian Yu in this matter. Because the work of reinforcing the city wall is evenly distributed to each village in Qingfeng County, that is to say, each village must be outsourced.
In other villages, this is a good thing to grab to break the scalp, but when it comes to Yunxi, no one wants to go.
Think about it, with Qian Yu's salary for everyone, no matter how bad it is, it is much better than strengthening the city wall, although Qian Yu guarantees that the salary and bonus will be paid, but no one goes.
Everyone is not stupid, I went, what should I do if my current position is gone? Especially those who burn cement and dig poisonous salt, don't you see those brick-burning guys looking at themselves every day? They have the highest prize money right now.
Cheng Si smiled bitterly. If he told the people of other villages that he was able to preside over the reinforcement of the city wall because he was wearing small shoes, I am afraid no one would believe it!

Fang Mu looked at Cheng Si strangely, this Master Cheng, why did he start to wander as soon as he said two words? His fingers shook in front of the other party's eyes, and he whispered in his mouth: "Master Cheng? Master Cheng? ”
Cheng Si came back to his senses at this time, after the blow of this incident, he felt as if he was ten years old, and he lost his previous passion for doing things, looking at Fang Mu, he shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't teach you how to fire red bricks." ”
Fang Mu was not discouraged by Cheng Si's refusal at all, because he could hear Cheng Si's words clearly, and the other party said that his secret recipe was stolen, and since it was stolen, he was confident.
Finding out the ten pieces of money from his arms, Fang Mu said with a smile: "Fang Mou is not coveting Master Cheng's secret recipe, but wants to exchange brick-making experience with you." The red bricks burned by Master Cheng are good, and the green bricks in our brick kiln village are also good. If Master Cheng agrees, how about your hard work? ”
