Datang Nongwang

Chapter 474 Workshop Expansion
Li Chongyuan no longer explained.

As far as the thing in his hand was concerned, it was just a sudden thought of his.

There are so many shops, no matter what, you can't just sell a single thing, right?

Moreover.

The thing he is making at this time is also a kind of daily chemical product, toothbrush.

If Li Chongyuan didn't know how to make soap, maybe there would be more soap.

It can be said that Li Chongyuan knows nothing about chemicals.

At this time, it is not easy to remind him of a toothbrush.

In this era.

Generally, salt water or tea is used to rinse the mouth, and there is nothing to clean the mouth at all.

This is considered to be a family with a little money, so they dare to use it like this.

Really want to replace it with ordinary peasants and people.

If you swallow your saliva casually, it will be regarded as gargling.

of course.

There is also the method of chewing charcoal to clean teeth.

As for the morning chewing tooth wood, it will not appear until the late Tang Dynasty.

It is said.

To chew tooth wood in the morning, a small section of willow branch is used, soaked in water overnight, and then chewed into strips the next morning, so that it is easy to clean the teeth.

The appearance of the toothbrush should be regarded as the earliest in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is recorded in Wen Ge's "Trivial Records" in the Northern Song Dynasty that it is called a toothbrush, and this toothbrush is just a toothbrush.

As for the real thing.

It is estimated that none of them survived, and the only ones preserved are from the Ming Dynasty.

And Li Chongyuan at this time.

The toothbrush I made is based on what I think and the documentaries I have watched.

It is similar to the toothbrush that appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

A piece of bamboo, plus some wild boar bristles.

After all, the bristles of wild boars are quite hard, so the first thing Li Chongyuan thought of was the bristles of wild boars.

Li Chongyuan made it carefully.

But Li Chongzhen moved two chairs over and placed them beside Li Chongyuan, invited Li Yuan to sit down, gathered around Li Chongyuan, and looked at the gadgets made by Li Chongyuan.

brush.

There is also in the present.

of course.

This brush is not a modern brush, but it is used for horses and other things.

Seeing that the thing was about to take shape, Li Yuan focused his eyes, "Yuan'er, this object of yours is so novel and small, even if it's not a horse brush, it looks like a brush made for small things like rabbits."

"Cousin, what the hell are you? Why do I look weird? The brush doesn't look like a brush, so it looks weird." Li Chongzhen was also very curious.

but.

Li Chongyuan still didn't answer, busy with the things in his hands.

Almost done.

A quarter of an hour later.

Things are finally made.

The bamboo pieces were also polished smooth, and it looked like that.

After holding such a simple toothbrush in his hand, Li Chongyuan suddenly felt like he was thinking about his previous life.

Touching the bristles with fingers, although it is a bit prickly, it is also soft.

Li Chongyuan really couldn't think of anything else that could replace bristles.

Li Chongyuan put the thing to his mouth and tried it.

Immediately.

Li Yuan opened his eyes and exclaimed: "Yuan'er, the things you made are not for cleaning teeth, are they? Very good, Yuan'er, hurry up, show uncle."

After Li Chongyuan tried this, Li Yuan already guessed what it was.

"Uncle, you have a sharp eye, you can tell what I'm making at a glance." Li Chongyuan carefully handed over the toothbrush, making a flattering sound.

Li Yuan took the toothbrush, looked at it for a long time, patted his thigh, and was very happy, "Okay, okay, this thing is very good, from now on, I will use this thing called a toothbrush to rinse my mouth, hahahaha."

Li Yuan was so excited that he immediately asked Jin's servant to bring salt water.

Li Chongyuan wanted to stop it.

Seeing that Li Yuan was in a good mood at this moment, he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.

The bristles of wild boars, Li Chongyuan just washed them casually, they were not sterilized by high temperature at all, let alone soaked in lime.

but.

Li Chongyuan washed it several times.

It's hard to say whether it's clean or not, but I think it's not a big problem.

After Li Yuan tried it, he couldn't put it down, "Yuan'er, make more. If this one breaks, I can replace it."

"Uncle, you are too impatient. I made this thing, and I originally wanted to mass-produce it. What you have is just a test product." Speaking of this, Li Yuan cast a look over, and immediately let Li Chongyuan felt sad, "Uncle, you can't blame me for this, you are eager to try it. But uncle, don't worry about it being useless, this thing will be mass-produced in the workshop in the future, regardless of the process or style, It will be better than this, and then I will get some for my uncle."

"Okay, okay, then what are you doing standing there, hurry up." Li Yuan was in a hurry.

When Li Yuan was in a hurry, Li Chongyuan could only laugh helplessly, and took the curious Li Chongzhen, got into the carriage and ran towards the workshop.

on the carriage.

Li Chongzhen was also anxious.

Since Li Chongzhen came to Lizhuang.

Every morning, I started to practice with Li Chongyuan, although I didn't lose weight, but my mental head improved a lot. Compared with his mental head when he first came to Lizhuang, he was not a little bit better.

And the hands also increased a little strength.

This is not.

Li Chong was really anxious about the toothbrush, so he grabbed Li Chongyuan's arm with both hands, "Cousin, I want to become a shareholder of the toothbrush, and I want to join it."

"Add a ball, this thing is very simple to make, and you can know how to make it at a glance. If you invest in shares, you can only make a quick fortune. Are you so poor that you can't get rid of the pot now?" Li Chongyuan pulled out and was caught by Li Chongzhen Grabbing the aching arm, he threw a blank stare at it.

but.

Li Chongzhen still insisted, "Cousin, fast money is fast money, as long as we make several million, tens of millions of toothbrushes, and then sell them collectively, we can definitely make a lot of money."

Li Chongyuan listened.

I also think it should be so.

after all.

As for the toothbrush, as long as someone who understands it can understand how to make it at a glance.

As long as this thing is on the market, there will inevitably be countless shops selling it.

Li Chongzhen's words reminded him of Li Chongyuan.

originally.

Li Chongyuan thought that those shops in Chang'an only sold one item of shampoo, which was really boring, so he thought about making a toothbrush.

First, the problem of cleaning teeth by oneself is solved.

Second, it can also add a kind of revenue to the store.

Thirdly, it can also benefit the public.

after all.

Daily necessities, they are gone when they are used up.

The toothbrush made by Li Chongyuan was never used.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan's idea at the beginning was to keep the water flowing.

But what Li Chongzhen said was true.

It makes sense to make a quick buck.

"That's what you said, then make a few million and sell it." After thinking everything through, Li Chongyuan nodded and said.

When Li Chongzhen heard that Li Chongyuan only talked about production, but didn't mention his shareholding, he became anxious again, "Cousin, you have to take me with you on this matter, you can't leave me behind."

"Okay, okay, it's just a toothbrush, and it's not a big deal. I'll take you with me. I'll take a look at how to operate it when I get back to the workshop. As for the other things, I'll do a careful calculation after I go back. Take a moment." Li Chongyuan said impatiently.

As soon as the words are over.

Li Chongyuan took out his notebook and began to write and draw.

There are too many things to remember.

It can only be recorded in the notebook.

As for the things that have been completed, Li Chongyuan will draw a line on them, which can be regarded as the end.

As for the unfinished.

Li Chongyuan will always mark something later.

For example, a key symbol, or an arrow symbol or something.

But the things written and drawn in Li Chongyuan's notebook made Li Chongzhen, who poked his head to watch, really couldn't understand, let alone what was written in the notebook in Li Chongyuan's hand.

Too many symbols.

There are too many simplified characters.

even.

Li Chongyuan also habitually uses some letters to replace some things, or some things.

Among them, there is pinyin.

Li Chongyuan did so.

Of course, I was afraid that I would accidentally lose the notebook, and then outsiders would pick it up and find out what I wrote.

Simultaneously.

He was also guarding against his little sister.

Just Wan'er's temper.

That's a lot of curiosity.

From time to time, I always think about stealing Li Chongyuan's notebook and take a look to see what is written in it.

Arrived at the workshop.

Li Chongzhen is like a curious baby, digging in here and in there.

But Li Chongyuan brought Xiang Qi to the west wall of the workshop, "Xiang Qi, you can ask Yao Kong to go to the county government and buy this land."

"Xiao Langjun, why do you buy land? This land has long been deserted, and it is useless to buy it." Xiang Qi didn't know why.

Li Chongyuan pointed to the west side of the workshop, then pointed to the north side, "Buy everything from here to there. I want to expand the site of the workshop. Also, you can find someone to dig the pond on the east side." Go deeper and dig wider, and the water consumption will increase a lot.”

Xiang Qiyi Workshop needs to be expanded.

Immediately excited.

The workshop is not small at this time.

But Xiang Qi is really dissatisfied with the shampoo whose monthly output is less than [-] bamboo tubes.

There is a saying.

Who doesn't want to earn money.

Not to mention Xiang Qi.

The old lady had already spoken out.

As long as Xiang Qi can manage the workshop well, the reward will never be less.

Since the establishment of the workshop and the opening of the Qingsi Pavilion.

Xiang Qi was often praised by the old lady, and the old lady even generously rewarded Xiang Qi with [-] pennies.

As long as the workshop expands.

The output of shampoo must be increased.

Thinking of this, Xiang Qi couldn't help being excited.

"Xiao Langjun, don't worry, I will ask Yao Kong to go to the county office in a while to buy this piece of land. By the way, Xiao Langjun, the workshop has expanded, is it going to recruit workers?" Xiang Qi replied. asked later.

Li Chongyuan looked at Xiang Qi and smiled, "That's natural, but you have to be strict about the direction of recruitment. This is our profit-making base in recent years, and we can't make any mistakes. If the recruiting personnel If you have doubts, you can go back to your home and ask Auntie, I think Auntie will definitely have a solution."

"Okay, Mr. Xiao Lang." Xiang Qi nodded.

personnel.

This is a big problem.

Although recruitment is simple, it is not so simple to ensure that the recruited workers belong to their own people.

As far as Li Chongyuan knows.

The workers in the current workshop are all our own people.

The own people are almost used up, and when the workshop expands, the people recruited will naturally be impossible to be our own people.

The Xiang family is not big, but it is not small either.

Even if it is more to the family.

But you can't put all of them in the workshop.

If this was the case, Li Chongyuan would be really embarrassed.

Think about it.

Li Chongyuan also felt that it was time for him to cultivate some of his own people.

lack of people.

So short of people.

And what is missing is their own people.

It's not that Li Chongyuan doesn't believe in Xiang's family.

But when there are many people, and they belong to the same surname, this potential hidden danger has to make Li Chongyuan worry that some accidents will happen.

past life.

Li Chongyuan heard from his cousins.

It is said that when they entered certain factories to work, there were three aunts and six wives of the boss in those factories, and as soon as these three aunts and six wives entered the factory, they did their best to make a good factory into a mess.

It will be settled at the end of the year.

Not to mention no profit, and even the wages of the workers cannot be paid.

visible.

This is a huge hidden danger.

afterwards.

Li Chongyuan took out a few blueprints that he had drawn and handed them to Xiang Qi, "The above are the things that I need to produce in large quantities. The drawings include the necessary materials, length, width, and size processes, etc. You can buy things based on these and store them first." .After the expansion of the workshop is completed, the things on the drawings have to be made."

"Xiao Langjun, what is this? Why use the bristles of wild boars?" Xiang Qi looked at the drawing, and then at the words on the drawing, he was really confused.

Li Chongyuan just smiled, without explaining, "Don't worry about what this is, you can send people around to buy things first, and after I have calculated everything, I will let you know what it is."

After this day.

The workshop began to expand.

And Wang Ting in Chang'an City also received news from Li Chongyuan.

"Pig bristles? What are they used for? He wants so many bristles, does he have any big moves?" Wang Ting was also at a loss when he read the letter.

The royal court at this time.

It can be said to be very happy.

Why?

The reason is the letter from Jinyang.

Said in the letter.

If Wang Ting can handle this debt matter well, he will resume his qualification to compete for the head of the Wang family, and even stated that he can continue to manage the affairs in Shandong area, or stay in Chang'an, etc.

and.

After he settled the debt, he even wrote a letter and went to Jinyang.

Based on the current time, the letter is estimated to have arrived in Jinyang.

future.

Wang Ting became more and more optimistic.

Wang Ji, who was standing on the side, also knew the content of the letter, "Mr. Lang, according to my understanding of Li Chongyuan, he bought a large number of pig bristles, so he must have made some moves. I guess, Li Chongyuan wanted to come up with something. something."

"It seems so. Since I am already on the same boat as him, I will send out a message to buy bristles in large quantities." Wang Ting nodded.

After Wang Ji got the words, he didn't say much else, and left to send a message.
