Chapter 45: Workshop Order and Workshop Cheng (Seeking Follow-up)
The morning after saying goodbye to Gong Sui, Liu He summoned Dai Zong, Xie Lang, and Li Anding in the Changyi Palace.
Liu He called the three of them together because the things they were doing happened to be connected with the engineer who was preparing.
In order to give a backbone to this complicated matter, Liu He plans to appoint a person who is in the middle.
The three have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
Dai Zong's prestige is the highest and the most capable, and today he will go to the Gongguan and Ma Yanshou to bargain and buy the slaves that the Gongguan has even out. But he is also the chief of the guard of Changyi Palace, and I am afraid that he will not be able to catch it in time.
Xie Lang has been in charge of wood smelting in the past two years, and he is most familiar with the process and details of wood manufacturing. But it's also a matter of energy, and after focusing on skills, time is bound to be insufficient.
Liu He thought about it again and again, the most suitable person should be Li Anding, he has been busy recruiting craftsmen these days, and he already has some eyebrows, and there are not too many things at hand that will take up too much time.
Seeing Dai Zong and the three of them walk in from outside the Changyi Hall and salute him, Liu He had already made a decision in his heart.
"A few days ago, the widow said that he wanted to build a workshop belonging to the palace, and now this matter has some eyebrows, in order to make this workshop can be built as soon as possible, the widow wants to assign a position."
"No."
"The order of this workshop is served by Li Anding, you have to be responsible for the daily affairs of the entire workshop, if you are short of people and money, go to Yu Wuwu and Dai Zong to help you turnover."
"Yui!"
"The workshop also has the position of Fang Cheng as the deputy of Fang Ling, Xie Lang has been dealing with wood metallurgy for the past two years, so you will be the Fang Cheng."
After Liu He finished speaking, Xie Lang's body shook slightly, and his face was obviously a little puzzled, but in the end he still said a "no" in hesitation.
Liu He naturally knew Xie Lang's reluctant thoughts.
In terms of rank, Xie Lang's 200 stones are higher than Li Anding's 100 stones.
In terms of ability, Xie Lang has a clearer understanding of woodworking and lacquer metallurgy.
Taken together, Xie Lang's order seems to be more reasonable.
So Xie Lang is puzzled, that's a normal thing.
"The widow puts the fang order above the fang cheng because it is not a trivial matter to establish a workshop, and there are many things that need to be worked and planned, and it will be more convenient to communicate with the outside world in the name of the owner of a workshop."
"But in this workshop, the real pass is still Fang Cheng and a group of craftsmen, only when Fang Cheng takes care of those trivial chores, Fang Cheng can really put all his efforts into the process."
"If this workshop wants to be built, it is indispensable to do the general order, and naturally there is no shortage of the workshop to do the craft."
"The widow hopes that the workshop in our palace can one day surpass the workshop in the country, and to do this, the two must work together to live up to the widow's expectations."
After Liu He finished speaking, he looked at Xie Lang, and his words not only determined Fang Cheng's status, but also placed high hopes on Xie Lang himself.
"Yes, Xie Langzhong, the subordinates will do their best to do the chores in the workshop, and they will definitely not let the trivial matters of eating, drinking, and Lazar disturb you." Li Anding was naturally keenly aware of a strange atmosphere, and immediately put down his body and patted his chest to assure Xie Lang.
After all, these four people in the Changyi Hall are all young men, and the oldest Dai Zong is only in his early twenties, which is the age when he is the most indifferent to fame and fortune.
So after Liu He and Li Anding put up the "steps", Xie Lang was a little ashamed.
Xie Lang's face was a little red and hot because of embarrassment, and he didn't say anything a few times, and only after a while did he say hesitantly: "It's the subordinate who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, ashamed and ashamed, and the subordinate knows what to do." ”
Liu He was very satisfied with everyone's frankness.
"Everyone doesn't need to be ashamed and unhappy, as long as they can walk all the way together, it is naturally a good thing."
"No."
"The workshop covers a lot of land, and it needs a very large place, I'm afraid I can't find such a piece of land in this Changyi City, so put it in the Qingliang Mansion in the west of the city, and the Qingliang Mansion will be used as the government office of the workshop in the future, and the hundreds of acres of land around it will also be allocated to you for use."
Liu He waved his hand very arrogantly, and sent out one of his palaces in the summer in three or two sentences.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, that is the palace built by the first king, used as a workshop, and allowed the people in cloth to come and go at will, I am afraid that it will hinder the view, and I am afraid that the people will say that you are ......"
Dai Zong didn't finish his words, but the meaning was actually very clear.
The palace is a forbidden place in the royal palace, and the people who will work in this workshop in the future are the lowest-ranking craftsmen.
"Are you afraid that the people of the country will call me crazy and arrogant?"
The three people in the hall did not dare to answer, but only lowered their heads slightly.
"Hahaha, I'm a rebellious person, and I don't care about the eyes of this world."
"Do your best to do your best, and make more of your ware, so that few people believe that the people of this kingdom will remember our good."
"No." Naturally, the three of them had no more extra words.
"It's not too early, Dai Zong and Li Anding should set off now, let's go to the Gongguan together, bargain with that Ma Yanshou, and try to buy more slaves from them, whether old or young, male or female, the more the merrier."
"How much can Your Highness give us?"
Dai Zong was smart and knew that he would roughly set the price with Liu He first, so as not to complain in the end.
"The price of the worker must be higher than the price of the market, and the widow allows you to increase the market price by one percent."
"What if Ma Yanshou doesn't agree?"
Dai Zong's worries are not unreasonable, although Ma Yanshou promised happily yesterday, it is estimated that the preciousness of craftsmen has been discovered at this moment.
He doesn't necessarily dare not sell. But maybe the price will be sky-high.
Liu He sneered and said: "Then it depends on the ability of the two of you, coercion and temptation, try to spend a small amount of money to do big things, after all, the money of the widow is also the hard-earned money of the people of Changyi country." ”
"Yui!"
When Dai Zong and Li Anding were about to leave, Liu He suddenly remembered someone and stopped them again.
"On the street near the West Gate in Beicheng, there is a carpentry workshop, the owner's surname is Meng, do you know?"
Mr. Dai thought about it for a moment and said, "Is it the one His Highness visited that day?" ”
"That's right, the craftsmanship of this Meng family is good, and there are four fathers and sons, all of whom can do carpentry, I want to hire them all in the workshop."
"Since they have their own business, I'm afraid they won't necessarily be willing, right?"
Li Anding has been busy recruiting craftsmen recently, and all he can recruit are bankrupt craftsmen or craftsmen who walk the streets and alleys in the village.
People like this who have their own business are not easy to convince.
"Under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man."
"When you come back from Gongguan, let me bring this Meng Ban here, and the widow will find a way to convince him."
"Yui!"
Dai Zong and Li Anding left in a hurry, and only Xie Lang was left in the hall.
Liu He took out a roll of bamboo slips from several cases and handed it to Xie Lang.
"You read it first, and when you're done, the widow will discuss it with you."
"No."
