Chapter 57 Preparation for the second issue of the periodical

Slowly dissipated the appetite, felt that the digestion was almost over, and trotted all the way back to the Huimin Pharmacy, this small body is not good if you don't practice, you will fall down when you touch it, and you don't know that you think you are touching porcelain.

A good body starts with running, and then it should be almost the same as going back and forth to the glass factory every day.

Wrote a recruitment notice, first a hundred people to see the effect, 20 yuan per person, regardless of food, the daily consumption of strong labor is very high, if you manage the food, you don't know what it will be eaten.

As soon as the recruitment notice was posted, the well-wishers who knew how to read explained to others, where did it come from, I don't know, maybe it was simply warm-hearted.

Soon, a lot of people gathered in front of the recruitment notice, all of them were powerful, and they looked like good workers.

Zheng Xiong asked Wu Wei to preside over the recruitment, and he fished in the office, selecting the best of the best, and a steady stream of strong men rushed here when they heard the news.

However, it was not early, and Zheng Xiong didn't wait long, selected a hundred strong men, and led them to the large open space behind the printing house.

"Your task in the future is to lay a good foundation for me with nearly 1,000 acres of land belonging to the pharmacy, is there any problem?"

A hundred or so people, you look at me, I look at you, after all, there is still the courage to stand up.

"Back to my lord, what we have is this strength, and it is not ambiguous where to fight, but the small ones who are not familiar with this foundation are not familiar with it, so please show it to the adult."

Zheng Xiong did not answer, but asked.

"What's your name?"

"The little one is called Iron Bull."

"Very good, as the name suggests, you will be the foreman of these hundred or so people in the future, and you will be responsible for laying the foundation."

Very capricious, Tie Niu was also a little confused by this sudden appointment, but this is a good thing, the crowd on the side is full of envy, although the wages are the same now, but who doesn't like the right.

"Although the small one has not managed people, but the small one can try, but the small one still doesn't know how to lay the foundation, and I ask the adults to give me advice."

"It's just three steps to lay the foundation, listen up."

"First, to copy the flat line, is to use wooden poles, lines and other measuring tools to determine whether the terrain is at the same level."

"Second, excavate the foundation trench. It is to dig a certain height below the ground on the basis of determining the building of a house, and use it to build a foundation. ”

"Third, build the foundation. The method of this is to use a wooden rammer. It is a large stump cut into a cylinder or a square column hoop on the rope, and after being thrown high, it is allowed to fall freely to achieve the purpose of tamping. ”

Everyone seemed to understand whether they understood it or not, and some of the terms were also heard for the first time.

Seeing that a group of people all seem to know whether they know or not, the method that they finally came up with is in vain.

"That's it, this official will go to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow to find a master for you to bring, so let's be here today."

The next day, Zheng Xiong went to the Ministry of Industry first, explained his intention to the director, the director did not have a word, just a master, a trivial matter, Zheng Xiong thanked him, and trotted all the way back to the pharmacy.

In the afternoon, the craftsman came to the door, looked at the hundreds of people standing on the bare construction site, and was angry.

"What is the situation with you, what about the tools, do you want to dig out the foundation with your hands, this is a pastime for me."

The leading iron bull stood up in embarrassment.

"We don't know how to get that, so please ask the master to come over and let the master give me some pointers."

Snorted, no more words, Tie Niu didn't know what to say, after thinking about it, he still found Zheng Xiong.

Looking at the scene in front of him, a group of people stared at each other, Zheng Xiong was a little puzzled and asked.

"What's the matter, didn't I find a master for you, why don't you start work yet."

"My lord, this master said that we don't have any tools, and we are entertaining him. We didn't mean that, the main thing was that we didn't understand it, and we froze here for a while. ”

After asking Tie Niu, Zheng Xiong looked at the master he had invited from the Ministry of Industry.

"Is that so?"

In the face of Zheng Xiong, the master lost a little arrogance, even if he was an ordinary Jiupin official, he was not provoked by a craftsman, and he was assigned to come over without warning, and he didn't say anything about his income, so he vented his anger, but he didn't expect to summon Zheng Xiong, and hurriedly said respectfully.

"What this strong man said is right, the main thing is that the little one is in a bad mood, and he asks the adults to forgive him."

If you are in a bad mood, then you will be in a good mood, and you will not talk about money when you go to the Ministry of Industry to borrow someone, and the Ministry of Industry will not give it in vain.

"That's it, when I was in the Ministry of Industry, the official didn't make it clear, since you came to the pharmacy to help, it doesn't matter what kind of treatment you treat in the Ministry of Industry. From now on, with a salary of 30 yuan a day, I don't know if you are in a better mood. ”

When he saw Zheng Xiong, the old master didn't dare to say much, for fear of cleaning up for himself, and when he heard that he was still given a salary, he immediately smiled.

"I'm in a good mood, don't blame me."

"That's good, the official called you here, but I don't understand anything, I asked you to guide one or two, now that you are in a good mood, then give good guidance. Although the official is easy to talk to, if you don't do a good job, don't blame the official for asking you for trouble. ”

"Yes, sir."

Zheng Xiong turned his head and reprimanded Tie Niu again.

"In the future, think more about doing things yourself, let you be the leader, you have to think more, and if you can solve it, you can solve it yourself. Like today, if you don't have the tools, you can go home and get the tools to come over and push it, instead of freezing here. ”

"Yes, the little one understands."

Seeing that the two of them looked like they were wrong, Zheng Xiong nodded with satisfaction.

"If you lack anything, draw up a list for me, as long as it's reasonable, it's not a problem, do you hear?"

"I hear you."

Zheng Xiong patted his ass and left, Tie Niu saw that he was afraid that he would not be able to buy the tools today, so he learned and used them, so he asked everyone to go home and get the tools, and they started working.

In the afternoon, he took the list that needed to be purchased, Zheng Xiong signed it, and asked Wu Wei to take it to purchase.

On the third day, the tools arrived, and with the guidance of the master, the foundation was on the right track.

Zheng Xiong can finally pull out his hand.

The second issue of the journal can start printing, half a month of epidemic prevention, from the three-month issue I imagined that the three-month issue has already passed, and some time has passed in April, if it weren't for the idea of spending the money quickly, it would have started a long time ago.

Asked Wu Wei to call all the people who were resting in the pharmacy over, found the replies from the Huimin Pharmacy in various places in the warehouse, and slowly read it.

There are not many replies, and the pharmacies in various places are not mentioned in the county, and the pharmacies in some local state capitals have not been built, so there are not many of them. However, many pharmacies that have been built still give replies and are very interested in the form of periodicals, especially in the southern prefectures and counties, where the economy is more developed, and the establishment of pharmacies is very fast, and the replies are also very positive.

Zheng Xiong's vaccinia vaccination method should be written on the front page, this must be promoted, and now the effect has appeared, there is no doubt about it. Zhang Peng, a master surgeon, also contributed two articles on the possibility of surgical treatment of intestinal carbuncles, and attached the experience of this time.
