Chapter 13: Nine Turns of the Exquisite Tower

According to Xiao Ming's plan, that is, to use the way of capital restructuring, that is, through equity distribution, let the business giant Richanglong acquire Gu's Refinery, and then Richanglong will integrate resources and invest to help Gu's Refinery expand rapidly.

This is part of an asset financing and business plan, Xiao Ming does this, it is a piece of cake, after all, is it his profession, but he is a little worried, how to persuade Gu Shouzhen to accept it is a difficult problem.

In ancient times, craftsmen looked at their own family heirloom industry more important than their own lives, that is killed will not be sold, some people have lived from it for generations, and the craft is also passed from father to son, and it is impossible to reach the concept of future generations, and Xiao Ming is not too sure whether he can persuade Gu Shouzhen.

Sure enough, Gu Shouzhen couldn't understand what "equity" was at all, and it was very strange why Xiao Ming wanted to sell his refinery, Xiao Ming struggled to convince him that he was not selling the refinery but developing it.

At this time, Xiao Ming realized that his thinking could not still stay in the modern society with developed science and technology information, and now that he has come to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the least thinking mode should adapt to this ancient society as quickly as possible, you can be eight or nine hundred years ahead of the concept, but you can't ignore the impact of this super-era concept on the ancients, you must let yourself adapt to the current society, and let the people around you slowly adapt to you.

"It seems that you can't take too big a step, otherwise you will really pull the egg!" Xiao Ming thought.

It is imperative to make a trip to the future, but what excuse should you find? If you can use An Daoquan's relationship, it is good, but the key is that An Daoquan can't be contacted at all at this time, Xiao Ming feels that things are more cumbersome and a little difficult to eat.

Let's take things step by step, Xiao Ming thinks about taking steps first, with this large order from the government, maybe the refinery will immediately enter a stage of rapid development.

……

In the next few days, Xiao Ming and Gu Shouzhen were very busy, the land and shops along the street have been bought, many things have to be taken care of, first of all, recruiting people is a problem, the society of craftsmen in the Song Dynasty was low, it was not at all the arrangement of Shinong industry and commerce, due to the development of industry and commerce, the status of merchants gradually rose, and soon formed two opposing classes: workers and merchants, businessmen have money to gain power, workers can only be exploited, craftsmen rely on craftsmanship to eat, but they are afraid of being robbed of their jobs, so most of them are relatively conservative, and can not form a unity" working class".

The general craftsman's workshop recruits people in the form of apprentices, and signs a deed of sale with the apprentice's family, and the children of the general poor family will not sell to others as apprentices unless they have to, it is really the same as slaves!

There are several little apprentices in Gu Shouzhen's refining workshop, all of whom are sold to the background, Gu Shouzhen is still very kind, rarely beats and scolds, and sometimes gives some change to spend, but the little apprentice does not work for five years, and is not qualified to learn technology at all, isn't there a saying, taught the apprentice, starved to death the master, the world is like this, there is no way, I hope to quickly change Gu Shouzhen's concept, it is also Xiao Ming's job to do.

The problem of personnel can be used to increase the salary and wages to attract satisfaction, and the management and accounting room in Xiao Ming's plan need to be selected by him personally.

Yang Zhen sent the contract to the government to buy the sealed letter the next day, in addition to 1,500 crossbows, he also ordered a batch of knives, guns, weapons and armor and helmets, and the payment was specially allocated 5,000 taels in advance, and a large cart was pulled in exchange for iron money, and the finished products in the refinery warehouse were immediately loaded and pulled away, Yang Zhen wanted to seize the time to train a group of skilled personnel to come out, and the remaining crossbows and bows promised to be delivered within three months.

Sent Yang Zhen away, and the rest began to be busy again, Gu Shouzhen was worried that he would not be able to deliver on time within three months, and he would not come out of the shed, Xiao Ming gave him an idea, the bow arm and arrow of the crossbow arrow can be produced in the refinery, but the other parts are wood, can you contract it to someone else to do, the carpenter in Hangzhou Mansion has, according to the drawings, directly batch it to do, and when the time comes, take the finished parts to settle the payment, which saves a lot of trouble.

Gu Shouzhen is overjoyed, it's really a good way, his brain is not enough, or is Brother Xiao really talented, just think of a way, you can easily solve the problem.

After being busy for a while, Xiao Ming looked at the refinery, everything was already on track, the batch production of crossbow arms in the refinery could basically be produced in flowing water, and the carpenter work contracted out also continued to be delivered, and at the same time, the newly purchased shop was also included in the refinery's shed, and Gu Shouzhen had already begun to place the refining furnace on the new land, so he was relieved.

There was something that had been pressed on his heart for a long time, he had to go, and after a day, Xiao Ming left his residence alone and walked to the southern suburbs alone.

……

Turtle Mountain in the southern suburbs of Hangzhou, Xiao Ming turned around for a long time and didn't find the original Ciyun Temple, so he had no choice but to find someone to inquire.

The neighborhood is also sparsely populated, it is easy to find a brick kiln built by a private person, the brick kiln here is very small, the bricks used to fire belong to the bricks, which are used to build tombs, at this time civil buildings have not used bricks and stones on a large scale, but to build tombs to use good bricks.

Xiao Ming found an old potter and asked him where the Tsz Yun Temple was, and the old man looked at him with very strange eyes.

"This big official, I guess it's not a local, right?" Looking at Xiao Ming's clothes, the old potter is still more respectful.

"There is no place for Ciyun Temple here, but there are a few Buddhist scripture halls, and down the hillside in front, there is a Cihui Zhishan scripture hall, which is the place where Master Jihui of Lingyin Temple preached, I don't know if it is the place where the big officials are looking for."

It's the Prayer Hall again! Xiao Ming's heart tightened, not long after the previous incident of Shanming Jingtang, although he made a windfall, but after all, it was still a bit thrilling to think about.

In fact, Buddhism in the Song Dynasty was developed, there were many famous temples and Buddhist temples in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and many monks had special places for preaching, that is, the scripture hall, and there were many believers who donated money to build, and invited the great monks to come to preach the scriptures.

Regardless of whether it is or not, if you don't find Ciyun Temple, you can't give up, if you can't find those regimental training villagers who caught themselves at the beginning, they should remember where they were arrested.

After thanking the old potter, Xiao Ming strolled in the direction he pointed, and after walking up the hillside, Xiao Ming looked down, and sure enough, there were a group of buildings and courtyards, and there were roads to connect with them, which should be the Cihui Zhishan Jingtang.

……

Xiao Ming is very nervous now, his palms are full of sweat, everything is going well, just like a few months ago, Xiao Ming found the small door from memory, and some dilapidated houses around him are the same as before he was arrested.

As always, the porch, the courtyard, the wings, the black house, and even the statue of the god Vajra as always.

Xiao Ming swallowed and spit, looking at the stairs down the black hole, which was the entrance of the upside-down Nine Turns Linglong Pagoda, whether it would pass through and return to the real society, Xiao Ming himself could not be sure.

Gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, Xiao Ming walked down......

Why is it suddenly soft under your feet? I've already walked up a flight of stairs, and there's no response! Xiao Ming couldn't help but go up and back to the staircase.

"Do you have to plant your body to cross it?" Xiao Ming pondered, "Go back or fall and get injured?" That's a problem! ”

"TMD is out of the way", Xiao Ming hugged his head to protect himself, and planted his head under the stairs......

He didn't feel the body collision and pain, Xiao Ming felt as if his whole body had hit a leather cushion, and he was bounced back, and he didn't fall down when he bounced back, as if he had fallen into someone's arms.

Xiao Ming looked back, an old monk turned his back to the door, looking at him with a smile, the light outside the door passed through the edge of the monk's robe, what a golden Arhat!

"Amitabha! The donor seems to be very confused? The old monk spoke.

"Yes...... yes, how do you know who you are? Xiao Ming was shocked.

"Hehe, the old man's name is Jiming, the donor, please come with the old man, all your doubts, the old man can solve them"

This sounds suspicious, but Xiao Ming can't help it, so he agreed, followed the old monk to the backyard, walked through the hall and passed through the scripture hall, at the door of a meditation room across the courtyard, the old monk stopped and motioned for Xiao Ming to go in, Xiao Ming looked at the old monk suspiciously, but felt that there was no need to harm him, how kind this face was, it should be fine, Xiao Ming pushed the door into the meditation room.

The meditation room is a quiet room.

A burnt of incense

A bed

Alone

Now this person is looking at Xiao Ming with a smile, Xiao Ming is also looking at him, wearing a wide monk's robe, long hair and shawl, sitting cross-legged on the futon, medium age, non-monk and non-Taoist look unfathomable!

"Who the hell are you?"

"People like you! …… Do you smoke? The man pulled out a box of big red hawks.

Xiao Ming waved his hand, but his mind hadn't reacted yet, "I don't smoke, master's surname?" ”

The man smiled, lit one himself, used a lighter, took a deep breath and said, "It's a pity that there are only two boxes left, and no matter how much you save it, it's almost gone!" ”

Xiao Ming's whole body suddenly shook, and he stared at each other with wide eyes.

"When did you get here?"

"In 2015, I've been here for five years, where are you?"

"In 2012, I just came here for a few months!"

……

Xiao Ming's head was like a thunderous sound, this matter was too shocking, the other party was obviously the same as himself, he was also a traverser, looking at the friendly face of the other party, as if he had seen a relative, Xiao Ming's eyes were red, and tears were dripping.

For the two people who are both traversers, the intimacy covers up all the strangeness, and there is no difficulty in communication between the two sides, Xiao Ming can't figure out why the other party came here in the future in 2015, but he is in 2012, is it a parallel space in different time and space? And the other party has been here for five years, but he has met in the same era as himself! This may not only be a coincidence.......

Ding Jianpeng, 32 years old, 27 years old five years ago, a native of Dalian, work unit: Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics and Environmental Planning, national civil servant, more detailed personal information, the two also revealed to each other, for example, Ding Jianpeng graduated from Nanjing University with a major in chemical and artificial materials, but later was admitted to the national civil servant, fortunately, he has a wide range of hobbies, although the major is not right, but finally the job is stable, this time when he was inspecting the work in Ciyun Temple, he suddenly crossed, and it was also through the upside-down nine-turn Linglong Pagoda, It seems that there is a time vortex there for sure.

"Did you notice that staircase would pop people out?" Xiao Ming asked.

Ding Jianpeng nodded, "I've been studying this, why I can wear it but can't wear it back, I've been stuck here for five years, but I can't find any way to go back." ”

Ding Jianpeng talked about this very distressed, for five years, in the strange ancient world, he didn't know what he should do, hesitant, helpless, angry, fearful, confused...... He had experienced all the emotions, but he insisted on staying by the side of the time vortex, insisting on studying it, and he believed that he would eventually find the answer.

"Why did you fall down the stairs of the Nine Turns Exquisite Tower?" Ding Jianpeng asked.

"Well, don't mention it... I must have been blown in by someone else's kiln when they burned it. "What a pitiful self-esteem I have!" Xiao Ming thought that of course he couldn't tell Ding Jianpeng that he was so frightened by the idol that he fell down the stairs.

"What! Have you also experienced a frying kiln? Is this true?! Ding Jianpeng was shocked.

"That's right!" ……
