Chapter 445: Revisiting Hantong
After the Cheng family was ready to get involved.
Lu Heng didn't write either, after a simple wash, and after changing his clothes.
took Cheng Chumo and came to the outskirts of Chang'an non-stop.
This time, Lu Heng actually came not long ago.
That was the home of a vegetable farmer named Han Tong on the outskirts of Chang'an.
This vegetable farmer named Han Tong was originally because after the college was built.
Directly send the vegetables produced in his own vegetable garden every day to the college for unified sales.
So it not only improved the economy, but also freed up manpower.
I was originally going to go to Chang'an City to do odd jobs to build a house for my eldest son and marry a daughter-in-law.
Finally, by chance, the patent office opened.
simply went to Lu Heng's brick kiln to learn secretly for a few days.
He built a brick kiln and began to burn bricks to build a new house for his son.
As a result, after Lu Heng learned about it, he made a special trip to the door to instruct him without saying anything.
He also asked his students to come and teach them how to build a brick house.
It can be said that except for the students built by Lu Heng.
In the matter of burning bricks to build a house, this person was the first person in Datang to eat crabs.
At this time, more than three months have passed since the last time Lu Heng came.
So when Lu Heng looked at the row of newly dug brick kilns in front of him.
and those newly built brick houses, I can't help but feel some emotion in my heart.
No matter what era it is, the yearning for a better life.
It is indeed the subjective initiative of the person who is stimulated.
It's only been more than two months, and this Hantong was the humble little kiln at the beginning.
It's already expanded to this scale.
And when Lu Heng found Hantong in the brick kiln.
He was also inspecting a batch of brick embryos with his son with a few workers.
"This batch should be fine, and tomorrow the kiln will be opened and sent in to burn and try it."
After Hantong completed the inspection, he told himself:
"You've already learned how to burn bricks."
"But the key to this is not to be sloppy."
"It's like last time, when I put unqualified bricks into the kiln to burn."
"In the future, you should go back to the field and grow vegetables."
looked at the son who was taught by himself, although he didn't speak, but his face was obviously a little unconvinced.
Han Tong said earnestly: "You, you, this burning bricks is the same as planting vegetables!" ”
"When you plant vegetables, you can't save the effort of watering and catching insects."
"Isn't it the same with this brick burning? If you get some crooked bricks out. ”
"How should someone else build that house after they buy it back?"
When Lu Heng heard Han Tong's words, he couldn't help but glance at this vegetable farmer.
Although when he said this, he was only out of his own simple humanity.
He did not regard the quality of his products as the lifeline of his brick factory.
It's just that as long as his humanity hasn't been extinguished for a day.
Then this brick kiln will definitely be able to flourish day by day.
"Uncle Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, your brick kiln was built fast enough!"
Hearing Lu Heng's words, Han Tong turned his head and recognized Lu Heng at a glance.
He was a little excited and asked, "Master Horse?" Why are you here again today? ”
"What's the matter? Do you welcome me? Lu Heng asked jokingly.
Han Tong hurriedly waved his hand again and again, "Master Horse, where are you talking about this, you are my benefactor, how could I not welcome you?" ”
After Han Tong finished speaking, he hurriedly pushed his son beside him and said:
"Hurry up, hurry up, go and move a stool for the horse master."
At this time, the people around Han Tong heard Lu Heng's identity.
couldn't help but look at Lu Heng.
Although they live just outside Chang'an City.
There is only one city wall away from those dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City.
But there are really few people who have seen these dignitaries.
Not to mention such a face-to-face close encounter.
Lu Heng had already walked to Han Tong's side at this time, and he didn't dislike that he was covered in mud.
Directly pulled his sleeve and said:
"Okay, okay, don't move, I won't sit, I'm just here to see how your brick kiln is doing."
As soon as he said this, Han Tong immediately became excited, pointed to the three newly opened brick kilns around him and said to Lu Heng:
"Thanks to the kindness and guidance of Master Poma, we have now built three new kilns."
"After a while, I plan to build two more!"
Lu Heng asked Han Tong to take him to see these newly built brick kilns.
Compared to the first one built by Hantong, these new brick kilns are much larger.
Although it is not as good as what Lu Heng built for the college.
But together, the scale is not small.
After checking it, Lu Heng asked Han Daodao: "These brick kilns were built by you at your own expense?" ”
Han Tong scratched his head, "Where did I get so much capital, this was all built by us in partnership." ”
"Oh? Built in partnership? How many people are together? ”
watched Lu Heng talk to this vegetable farmer in detail.
Cheng Chumo on the side couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Those high-ranking and powerful people above the court have always been difficult to ask for a smile in front of Lu Heng.
Once he is disdainful, it is easy to be scolded by Lu Heng in front of him.
But it's just against these mud legs that no one can look down on.
Lu Heng seemed to be a different person.
Not only has his attitude been gentle, but the smile on his face has never stopped.
And under the infection of Lu Heng's smile, Han Tong was obviously not so nervous.
Directly snapped his fingers and said to Lu Heng: "I, my uncle, and my wife and brother are ......, anyway, there are a total of twelve, in addition to a few relatives of my family and my mother-in-law's family, there are also a few neighbors nearby." ”
Lu Heng nodded and admonished him:
"Then since you are a partnership, the account must be calculated clearly, and there must be no contradictions."
Han Tong also said with deep understanding: "What Master Ma said is that now we all divide the account every time we sell a kiln brick. ”
"If you have time to work, you will receive a salary, and if you don't have time, you can only share the kiln money."
Regarding the account sharing method mentioned by Han Tong, Lu Heng did not comment on anything.
Although this is indeed very cumbersome, it is very unfavorable to the further development of the brick factory.
On the other hand, if you divide the account directly every time, you will not accumulate any contradictions.
It can only be said that there are pros and cons.
After asking about ownership, Lu Heng asked about the current recruitment and fuel for the brick kiln.
After learning that there is basically no shortage of workers in Hantong now, because the wages are paid daily, the villagers of several nearby villages are willing to come here to earn cash as long as they have leisure.
As for the fuel problem, Hantong is indeed in some trouble now.
In the past, when there was only a small brick kiln, he and his family could go and cut down some of his own trees and burn them.
But now with the scale.
Just burning wood is already a bit unsustainable.
So Han Tong is already planning to buy some coal and stone from Lu Heng's kiln to try.
It's just that there are a lot of problems in front of Hantong now.
Not to mention that coal has not been used on a large scale today.
Basically, except for Lu Heng's kiln, it is difficult to buy it anywhere else.
And even if he could buy it, Hancom was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to afford the price.
