Chapter 26: The Foresight of the Teacher

After Liu Guisan's apprenticeship was completed, Ma Hanshan summoned the three disciples to speak... It's about arranging work.

Don't think it's good to be a master, although it seems to have a lot of face, but it's really tiring. Because, these three disciples are all craftsmen, except for Chen Bonong who can read and write, Li Xunshui and Liu Guisan are people who can't even write their names well.

Therefore, Ma Hanshan's first step is to let these two goods recognize words first, and to quickly recognize words, this is really a headache, take them as apprentices, is to let them help make money, but now they have to eliminate illiteracy, a little bit of their own feeling of being in the hands of themselves, asking for hardships.

"Listen, there are so many things that I think about every day as a teacher, I don't have time to teach you like Mr. Private School, and you can't study like that. I teach while I work, and you need to work and learn at the same time. ”

"The first thing you have to do is to be literate, but you can't learn a few words every day in a night class like other people, you have to be three times ten times faster than them to read. Let's put it this way, within a month, you must finish learning the thousand-character text and the three-character scripture, and you don't need to understand what it says, it doesn't mean anything, you just know the words on it. ”

In the era when Mahanshan came, there were tens of thousands of Chinese characters, and there were two or three thousand commonly used and second-commonly used. Therefore, Ma Hanshan thinks that first let them quickly know a thousand to two thousand words, so that they can understand what he said.

"Owner of the village, I'm afraid it's difficult." Qi Nanyue, who was sitting on the side, said.

The thousand-character text and the three-character scripture are "teaching materials" for one or two years.

"I don't care if it's hard or easy, if I can't finish it in a month, then get out, there are no fools under the science gate." Ma Hanshan took out a booklet with "Enlightenment Mathematics" written on it from the cabinet and said, "This is a book of enlightenment mathematics that I compiled, which was originally learned by five-year-old children. ”

"Mr. Qi, you can take it and copy one copy first, and then take it and print hundreds of copies and come back." Education is very important, and Mahanshan is an ultra-long-term investment.

"Ahh Mathematics? Is it arithmetic? Don't use "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"? Qi Nanyue took the booklet and said.

"Learn this first, this is the most basic, and easy to understand, people who know how to read, it will take a few days to understand." Ma Hanshan handed over a thinner booklet and said, "The current weights and measures are too chaotic and unreasonable, this is my compilation of Modern Weights and Measures, which contains newly prescribed weights and measures, as well as conversion methods with the current ones. You also copy a copy and then take it and print hundreds of copies back, the rulers, scales, measuring instruments, etc., I have asked people to make standard parts, and when the standard parts come out, produce a batch. ”

Ma Hanshan is really bullish, he thinks that the current weights and measures are not easy to use, so he directly moved the decimal system weights and measures from his previous life, and he wants to copy a set of rulers, measuring tools, and weighing instruments from another world. So the production of a batch, because, he believes, soon someone will buy it.

The new products launched by the tile tank village are all best-selling products, and if you want to do business with the tile tank village to buy and sell the products of the tile tank village, you have to know this set of weights and measures, they do not have a set of weights and measures of the tile tank village how to figure it out?

"Owner of the village, isn't it ......?" Qi Nanyue now feels tired to death, his account is now simply an all-round manager, let him do everything.

"I know, you have a lot of things to do, but they don't understand. So, you have to quickly find a few helpers and bring out a few people, won't it be easy for you? Of course, Ma Hanshan knows that Qi Nanyue has too many things to take care of, but there is no way, he is educated in the village.

"Yes......." Qi Nanyue had no choice but to respond with a bitter face.

"Haha, those who can work hard, Director Qi, thank you for your hard work." Ma Hanshan patted Qi Nanyue's shoulder and said with a smile.

There are too many things in the village, Ma Hanshan has arranged things for a few years in just a few months, can he not be busy? However, although everyone was tired, everyone was in good spirits.

The future depicted by the owner of the village is too beautiful, can you not be spiritual? The most important thing is that the lives of these people have indeed undergone earth-shaking changes, so everyone believes in the words of the eldest child's village owner, and everyone is immersed in hard work.

"Listen up, from now on, you not only have a heavy study task, but also a very heavy work, don't think that you don't have to do it with the hat of a factory director and dean, and the name of a disciple of the owner of the village, on the contrary, you have to do more." Ma Hanshan glanced at the three "old" disciples and said.

"Yes, teacher, the teacher just orders, we will do our best." Li Xunshui said with his chest straight.

"Well, in addition to the study task just arranged, turbid water, you have to brew me 10,000 catties of wine within a month, pay attention, it's a drunken fairy-like wine, not the wine you brewed before. I have prepared the food for you. Show your true skills and brew the most productive and strong sake lees. Attention, you just need to get the lees out and how to turn it into a drunken immortal, I'll tell you when the time comes. "Ma Hanshan is in such a hurry because there is no money in the village, and he has to make money, otherwise so many people working will go hungry.

"Yes, teacher......." Li Zhuoshui said.

"Teacher, what am I doing?" Chen Bonong also wanted to receive some tasks.

"Yes, Teacher." Chen Bonong nodded and said.

"Well, you two, you have to find someone to form a team, you can't be the commander of the light pole, write a letter, and call all those capable people over." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.

Hmph, how can the director of the factory be so good, can I help you prepare to use you?

Seeing that the senior brother and the second senior brother were alive, Liu Guisan was a little anxious, and looked at the master of the horse village with a pair of old eyes.

"Liu San, you are now the director of the forging and casting factory, not a family-style iron shop, you must have a long-term vision, you must have the courage of a leader, I tell you, the forging and casting factory will have hundreds or even thousands of people in the future. Therefore, during this time, in addition to literacy, you continue to build what has been arranged for you, that is, to teach apprentices, find apprentices, find people, we are seriously short of people. "The lack of people and money is already the most troublesome thing in Mahanshan.

This master actually changed the names of his old disciples, and his name was Liu Guisan, and he directly became Liu San.

Qi Nanyue's face became more and more bitter, he still had to find people, he had to increase people, he had no money, no food.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and he has no money, so it's not easy for him to be a director.

The summer grain is enough to eat for a while, but now the village spends money like flowing water every day, and the money has no way out.

Ma Hanshan called the three disciples to work, then glanced at Qi Nanyue, who had a face like a bitter gourd, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi, you don't have to worry, I guess, tonight or tomorrow, someone will send money." ”

"What do you mean?" Qi Nanyue was surprised, does the owner of the village still know how to divination? Have the ability to know the past and the future?

"Hehe, you forgot, today is the last day of the agreement with Shen Wuwan, I guess he doesn't want to lose this face, he will arrive tonight no matter what." Ma Hanshan said calmly.

"That's right, why hasn't he arrived yet?" Qi Nanyue nodded and said.

"Maybe, something happened, otherwise, he should have arrived in a batch more than ten days ago." Ma Hanshan stood up and walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back, and finally stood by the window and said, "If the Ruyi Warehouse can't deliver all the goods on time, then their strength will be questionable." However, no matter what, Mr. Qi, you have to find some more powerful merchants. The new wine is about to be launched, but it can't be enjoyed exclusively by Shen Wuwan's family. ”

"I understand, just now the owner of the village said that someone sent money, which means that he wants the shopkeeper Shen to take the advance payment?" Qi Nanyue said.

"Hehe, how much can I make in advance, I want him to take the money into the shares." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.

"Stake?" Qi Nanyue is blindsided again, the owner of the village, you have too many ideas, you can't keep up.

"Yes, take a stake." Ma Hanshan turned around and said, "How much does this set of 100-pound steamers cost in total now?" ”

"Ten taels, mainly the cost of man-hours, the copper pipe is difficult to build, and the teeth of the interface are all hand-carved." The so-called interface tooth is the thread, there are nails and rivets in this world, but there are no screws, and the threads are all seen by Qi Nanyue for the first time.

"Alas, when I have time, I have to find a way to make a machine to tap or sleeve the thread, a screw is an industrial revolution." Ma Hanshan sighed to himself.

Indeed, for this world, a screw and a nut can solve a lot of problems. For this era of zero industry, the significance is undoubtedly like an industrial revolution.

"What did you say, master?" Qi Nanyue asked.

"Oh, nothing. A 100-kilogram steamer costs ten taels of silver, and a pot material can steam 30 kilograms of wine, and the pot takes two hours, and five or six pots can be steamed a day, that is to say, a pot produces more than 100 catties of wine every day? Mr. Qi, go back and build a few sets of 100-pound steamers, and let them build a few sets of 200-pound materials, the goal is to produce 50,000 catties of wine per month, you calculate how many sets of equipment you need. The other fifty pounds of material and twenty pounds of material each help me make a set. Ma Hanshan was calculating in his heart how much money each set of steamers could make every day, and at the same time instructed Qi Nanyue to continue to build steamers.

"Okay." What are you doing with the twenty-pound steamer, Qi Nanyue doesn't want to ask why, because Ma Hanshan's brain is turning too fast, if he asks everything, he can't finish asking.

Tuk Tuk!

Ma Hanshan was just about to tell Qi Nanyue that he was going to use the distillery to raise two million taels, when Ah Niu knocked on the door and came in to report that the secret whistle had sent back news, and a convoy of dozens of cars had come outside.

"Dozens of cars? Haha, Boss Shen has arrived. Mr. Qi, you and Ah Niu should take a trip, go to Xiaoliang Bay to greet Boss Shen, hurry over, let him see our security capabilities, and ...... quickly. Ma Hanshan laughed and said.

Xiaoliang Mountain is two miles away, the mountain beam that tripped Liu Mazi's horse's hooves. Walking from the mountain is the old road, in order to facilitate transportation, Mahanshan let people open a new road around Xiaoliang Mountain, and Mahanshan named this section of the road Xiaoliangwan. Although it takes two or three miles more to take Xiaoliang Bay, it is much more convenient to drive.
