"Is there anything unspeakable about Lord Meng, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I will tell An Le Xiang truthfully and see if I can help you." Liu He asked.

"The villain has thanked the envoy for his kindness, but this has nothing to do with outsiders, our carpentry industry is not the same as farming, and there are many things to learn."

"Let's take the matter of looking at the pattern as an example, without more than ten years of hard work, you can't find the way at all."

"The two unsettling verticals in the villain's family have been in the industry for five years, and they haven't all passed the test in the matter of looking at the pattern, so I have to check it last."

"As for the skills in the hands of our carpentry craftsmen, they can't be learned overnight."

"The slaves we buy can only help us, and if we buy a few slaves, the cost is too high, and if we don't raise them for seven or eight years, we won't be able to help at all."

When Meng Ban said this, he waved his hand again and again, and said a few times that it was not cost-effective.

Liu He couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, it seemed that he had thought things simple.

Skilled masters like Meng Ban are reluctant to expand the scale of production, not only because they are afraid of technology leakage, nor because they are not without ambition, but because the carpentry work does have a technical threshold, so it is a very costly and risky thing to train qualified employees.

It seems that you have to think of ideas.

"If it's convenient, can you take me to see where you work?" Liu He looked at the backyard as he spoke.

"This ......" Meng Ban seemed to have some hesitation.

But I don't know if I was jealous because I thought of Liu He's identity, or if I saw that the other party was more kind, Meng Ban stomped his foot at the end, but he agreed.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and ask the ladies in the courtyard to avoid it first."

"It's natural, lest I run into them."

"No."

Meng Ban walked through the shop and ran to the back yard.

Then, Liu He heard Meng Ban scolding loudly, and there seemed to be a movement of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the yard.

The young man who was squatting on the ground looked in the direction of the courtyard, then at Liu He, and squeezed out a grimace.

It seems that this Meng Ban is also a big family member at home.

It didn't take long for Meng Ban, who had beads of sweat on his forehead, to run out again and respectfully said to Liu He: "Envoy, please come with me." ”

Liu He and Meng Ban came to the courtyard behind the shop one after another.

Perhaps because of the large population and the need to do business, this courtyard in Mengban is a two-in, two-out pattern, which is much larger than the average ordinary house.

The shop outside is actually the doorway of the gate, the front yard is the place where carpentry work is done, and the surrounding sheds are stacked with timber and some semi-finished parts.

The backyard behind it should be where Meng Ban's family lives.

Knowing the subtlety, other woodsmithing workshops are estimated to be in this pattern.

In the middle of the courtyard, there were two young men standing in a regular manner, twenty-four or five for the small one, and twenty-eight or nine for the larger one.

If you put it in a farmhouse, you can be in charge of it at this age.

But in the handicraft workshop, it is different, because it is a handicraft work, so experience and skill are more important, and strength is secondary, so Meng Ban, who is over fifty years old, still holds the power of the family.

It seems that the young people in this workshop are not easy to get ahead.

"What are you two still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and say hello to the envoy, are you still waiting for me to invite you to go, be careful that I smoke you!"

Meng Ban said that he was about to take off his shoes, and the frightened two young men hurriedly bowed down to say hello, and Meng Ban gave up.

"Get up, you don't need to be polite." Liu He frowned, he didn't dare to agree with Meng Ban's rough way of discipline.

"They are already adults, Meng Dongzhu shouldn't be able to beat and scold them so casually anymore, otherwise they will be in a nest for the rest of their lives, and you may regret it when the time comes."

Liu He originally just kindly reminded him, but he didn't expect this Meng Ban not only to appreciate it, but also to say confidently: "You think too highly of them, these two erectors are not yet in the age of standing, and even the hair on their mouths has not grown hard, and they are far from being the masters of the house, they ......"

Just when Meng Ban wanted to continue to belittle his two "indisputable" sons, he suddenly found that Liu Hezheng, who was farther away from the year of his establishment, looked at him coldly, realized that he had said the wrong thing, raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

"Look at my broken mouth, what kind of bastard words are you talking about, don't be surprised, you are a young talent, how can these two verticals compare with you?"

Liu He didn't want to pursue too much in this matter, so he naturally brought the topic to the Meng family brothers.

"What's your name?"

"The little one is called Meng Ri, and this is the villain's second brother called Meng Yue."

"Where's the one out there?"

"He is the third brother, called Meng Xing."

The sun, moon and stars, the three lights.

This Meng Ban has quite high expectations for his son.

In front of the Meng family brothers, there was a cocoon car that had been improved by Liu He, and it was already half completed, but it could be roughly seen what kind of farm tool it was.

"How did you make this car?"

"Pick a piece of wood that is about the size of each part, prepare the rivets to use, and assemble the parts as you go."

"Shouldn't it be about building all the parts first and then putting them together?"

"You don't need two people when assembling, and if you drive well, it will be slower."

"Listen to your father, you still can't fully understand the pattern?"

Meng Ri raised his eyes and looked at Meng Ban, who was standing not far away, and did not dare to speak.

"Master Meng, you go out and watch the business first, and I'll talk to your two sons alone."

"This ......" Meng Ban seemed to hesitate.

"Why, are you still afraid that I will steal your craftsmanship?" Liu He accentuated the tone of his speech, and looked at Meng Ban with some playfulness.

Although Liu He was only nineteen years old at this time, he was much taller than ordinary people because the food in the palace was sufficient.

In addition, he has seen and heard in two lifetimes, so it is easy for him to overwhelm others in momentum when he is serious.

And this Meng Ban was originally jealous of Liu He's identity as "Yicao", and after being reprimanded, the whole person's face turned white.

His little eyes glared at his son, and he slipped out.

Seeing Meng Ban leave, Meng Ri and Meng Yue's nervousness decreased a little, and the whole person relaxed.

"Tell me, can you read the pattern now?"

"I can understand it, but my father is still not satisfied with what we have made." Meng Ri smiled bitterly.

"I can also understand five or six." Meng Yue, who was even younger and more vigorous, also rushed to answer.

"And what do you think is the hardest part of this car to build?"

"The most difficult thing is, of course, the process of assembly, unlike other tools, the more complex the machine, the more careful you have to be when assembling, where is wrong, the whole machine is not easy to use."

Liu He noticed that they also used the word machine, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Then I'm going to ask you a question now, and you can answer me after you think clearly."

"No."
