"Remember to rest at night, you don't have to be so tired."

Liang Xiao's concerned advice only made everyone temporarily stop the work at hand.

"We want to repay Master Hou and save more money for the family by the way!"

The response of the workers made Liang Xiao cry and laugh: "But such work really hurts the body, rest when you should rest, just like chopping wood, you sharpen the knife first to cut, the efficiency is far better than directly using a blunt knife." ”

They are still honest and do not deny that they are trying to make more money.

It is not impossible to have such a system of commission in ancient times.

However, with the blessing of modern operation concepts, it can undoubtedly greatly enhance the enthusiasm of workers.

It is true that the new weapons need to be speeded up, and they cannot only rely on the Beijing Ordnance Superintendent.

Moreover, some new weapons and processes need to be repeatedly studied and improved.

The point is that both the fire and fuel at night can provide lighting, giving the workers the convenience of "working the night shift".

Fortunately, there are a lot of these workers, and there is no problem at all with shifts.

Liang Xiao watched the workers pour out a pot of boiler slag, thoughtful.

He was pondering what he knew about steelmaking.

For example, steel filling method, blast furnace ironmaking.

But these crafts are either limited by ancient conditions, or ...... He's not entirely proficient.

In this way, it needs to be improved slowly.

Pu Yuan was in charge of crafting weapons, but this was an ancestral craft, and the imperial court would not ask him to contribute unless it was necessary.

Of course, even if they contribute, others may not be able to learn it, and forging also pays attention to various details.

Liang Xiao went to see Pu Yuan again.

At this time, Pu Yuan was resting with his eldest son, and when he saw Liang Xiao coming, Huo Ran got up and was excited.

"The forging process provided by Hou Ye is quite similar to the craftsmanship of the humble ancestors......"

Liang Xiao's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

Pu Yuan took the weapon he had forged and put it on the table.

Liang Xiao looked closely and found that there were patterns on it.

"Patterned steel?" Liang Xiao exclaimed.

"This is just one of the crafts, the kind provided by Hou Ye, and the humble position is also trying, maybe you can benefit a lot!"

Liang Xiao looked forward to it: "The threat of Beihu is close at hand, how long will it take to fight well?" ”

Pu Yuan pinched his fingers and said, "If it's fast, it's one and a half months, and if it's slow, it's three months." But this is mass production, if it is precision forging, it will take longer, after all, Hou Ye should also know the ...... of '100 steel'"

Liang Xiao nodded happily: "The Ordnance Supervisor will send a batch first, with the bow and crossbow, it will not be a problem to defend the city!" Mr. Pu has to work harder, when will Yanzhou sit back and relax and rely on you. ”

Pu Yuan was flattered, patted his chest and promised: "I will be loyal and wise!" ”

Liang Xiao said again: "But we still have to pay attention to rest, and we can't overwork, otherwise it will affect the follow-up efficiency, I believe Mr. Pu understands the truth better than me." ”

Pu Yuan nodded, and also said, "In comparison, I'm more worried about Master Hou!" ”

Liang Xiao was stunned: "Why are you worried about me?" ”

"We have all heard that Master Hou angered those students of Yanzhou Academy because of the soaring price of rice before, and then ...... Today, a rice merchant has cut himself in the Hou Ye's house. Pu Yuan smiled bitterly.

Liang Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, they can't make big waves." ”

Pu Yuan was relieved and went back to work.

Liang Xiao was relieved, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Even the craftsmen in the depths of the ordnance prison knew about it, which showed that this matter had caused a storm in the city.

But that's what he needs!

Completely different from Liang Xiao's leisure, the students of Yanzhou Academy have been filled with righteous indignation all night.

"Mr. Duguyan doesn't donate to our academy on weekdays, right? Moreover, he also tried his best to provide food and clothing for some students in our academy, such a good person, but he was forced to death by Liang Xiao!! ”

"What's more, death is great, and Mr. Duguyan has never done anything to disregard people's lives! Liang Xiao is a demon who eats people and doesn't spit out bones! ”

Duguchen sat aside, covering his eyes, choking up and secretly happy in his heart.

The effect has been achieved!

The poor students standing at the door looked depressed.

That Dugu Yan sent some money to the academy on weekdays, and did provide food and clothing for individual academy students.

But the problem is that those students who receive the supply are originally rich in clothes and food.

They are really poor, Duguyan doesn't even look at them.

And now they are being coerced by the scholars to give Dugu Yan a head.

"The Marquis of Lanling is indeed a little ruthless......" The poor students were depressed.

No matter what the situation is, Duguyan did crash into the Taishou Mansion, and the impact of this matter was bad.

What's more, these families have been controlling public opinion for a long time, and with a little guidance, they can incite public opinion.

Yanzhou is the world of the family!

The Dongye clan chose to be silent, which is already the best support for Liang Xiao!

However, the eldest lady of the Higashino clan is the most angry now......

When Higashino Song heard the news, he was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

He received the news that Higashino Luoyue appeared in the academy, but the person was no longer there at this time.

And Duguyan's death really shook the entire Yanzhou Academy.

Over the years, Dugu Yan has provided a total of two thousand taels of silver worth of material support to the academy.

As the dean, he really couldn't afford not to deal with the matter.

"Duguchen ......"

The annoyed Dongye Song glanced at Dugu Yan, who was wiping his tears, and was resentful in his heart.

He vaguely felt that Duguyan was just crying a mouse.

Duguyan has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, and his family is rich, how can he easily commit suicide?

But Higashino Song can only suspect that this kind of thing is just risking the condemnation of the world, and the scholars who are angry are afraid that they will unite on the spot and force him to step down.

"The Higashino clan can't be left alone...... "Higashino wanted to cry without tears.

Those big families are no longer something that the Dongye clan can afford to offend.

Liang Xiao, they don't want to offend either.

Moreover, recently Liang Xiao gave them a special "benefit" in private.

Quyuan plow!

Originally, Liang Xiao had 2 million acres of farmland, and 70% of the farmland harvest was given to tenant farmers, which also shocked Yanzhou.

The tenant farmers of the Higashino clan harvested fifty and a half of their own harvest, and the rest was handed over to the Higashino clan.

This is such a ratio, which makes the tenant farmers very satisfied, after all, the other big families all charge fifty or sixty percent of the rent.

Liang Xiao gave seventy percent at once, which will undoubtedly hit the interests of the Dongye clan.

But Liang Xiao recommended the Quyuan plow to the Dongye clan, which was really easy to use, and also greatly improved the efficiency of ploughing cattle and manpower!

The Dongye clan made a rough calculation of an account today, and the profit was seventy percent, and with Qu Yuanli and Liang Xiao's commitment to build water conservancy in the future, the Dongye clan could still earn more than before.

In addition, by winning the favor of the tenant farmers, the Higashino clan can also win a good reputation, which is a long-term plan.

Therefore, the Dongye clan did not have much resistance to Liang Xiao's concession of tenant farmers, and even planned to follow the concession of seventy percent.

No, the scholars of the academy began to make a fuss about this matter again.

"I heard that Liang Xiao took the landlord's land at a low price, not to mention, but also maliciously bought tenant farmers, attacked the interests of other landlords, and tried in vain to encircle the entire land in Yanzhou!"

"Give seventy percent to the farmers, and those grains can be converted into money! All the silver of the white flowers is given to these cattle and horses, and they create evil! ”
