Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 21 Horseshoes

"Well, I know Uncle, don't worry, the boy will not let you down."

Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything, patted Zhao Han on the shoulder, and then walked into the workshop.

Walking into the workshop, all the craftsmen are working hard, and they are very serious. No one notices him when he comes in. This makes Cheng Yaojin feel incredible. He has never noticed that they work so hard before. He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Han. , suddenly understood.

Zhao Han was very satisfied to see these craftsmen working so hard. These will be his own people in the future, and he doesn't want lazy people.

Standing at the door, Cheng Yaojin was very embarrassed. He had been here for a while, why no one had noticed him yet, but he felt that these craftsmen were different from before, and felt that they were working very fast now?Only a quarter of an hour later, they finished a table.

"Cough cough, stop."

When the craftsmen heard someone talking, they all turned their heads to see who was talking. When they turned their heads, they saw their master and uncle coming to the workshop together. Everyone stopped what they were doing. At this time, Goudan ran over from behind and said: The little one has seen the master and the uncle, what orders does the master and the uncle have when they come to the workshop?

"Let's not talk about what you are asked to do, let me ask you, why does the old man feel that you are working much faster today than before? Is there any trick?"

Just as Goudan was about to speak, Zhao Han preemptively said: Uncle, let me tell you, this is called the assembly line method. They are separated, let’s take this Taishi chair as an example, I asked the master to make the frame of the Taishi chair, and the master did the fine work, and the apprentices did the assembly, and the apprentices could do the simple work if they couldn’t do the fine work. The master will not be so tired.

"Well, yes, it does save a lot of time. I said that it feels much faster than before. This method can be used in other places, and our salt workshop will do the same in the future."

"Not only can this be done in the workshop, but also in other places. The court is the way. The ministers divide the work. Otherwise, there will be civil servants and generals. It's just that no one thinks about workmanship. To put it bluntly, the status of craftsmen is too low, so no one Work hard on this."

"Okay, let's stop here for the gossip. The blacksmith stays, and everyone else goes back to rest. From now on, you will follow Xiaohan. Let me tell you, whoever dares to speak sloppily, be careful of your family and your own life, you know Well?"

"Yes, I got it, master. Don't worry, master. Uncle treats us so well. If we don't know how to be grateful, we will really be worse than animals."

"Okay, all you know is fine, let's go, go back and rest, and go to the housekeeper tomorrow to get two hundred Wen each."

"Thank you sir"

After everyone left, only Cheng Yaojin, Zhao Han, and a few blacksmiths remained in the workshop.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Zhao Han, which meant that the next step was up to you.

"Come here, I'll give you a blueprint, and now you can build it according to the blueprint."

The blacksmith stepped forward and took the blueprint given by Zhao Han, without saying anything, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, just do what you are told, this is the consciousness of the servant, and turned around to light the fire and strike the iron.

The blacksmiths were all busy, and Cheng Yaojin and Zhao Han had nothing to do, so they just sat on the newly made Taishi chair and chatted.

"Xiaohan, the grand master chair you made is really good. When you send it to the palace tomorrow, you have to remember that in the Tang Dynasty, your majesty is the biggest. Don't fight against your majesty. As long as your majesty values ​​you, those ministers will only Shout out, don’t be afraid of them, you are still a mortal now, you have to learn the ways of the world in this society, don’t be too out of the ordinary, if you can hide your clumsiness, you can’t be strict, if you can’t help it, just take it out generously, eating alone will never be big development, you know?"

Zhao Han watched TV in his previous life and had a lot of experience. Zhao Han knew what Cheng Yaojin said, and he did the same thing, but listening to Cheng Yaojin's nagging, he felt that this taste was very good. This is family affection, right?I like it very much.

"Now that I know Uncle, the boy must remember what Uncle said. Don't worry, Uncle, the boy will not let you down, Zhao Han said with a smile."

"Well, it's fine if you know it. In the future, when you go to Xingyangzhuang, you will not be by my side. You will have to rely on yourself. Uncle knows that you are smart, but you must remember that horses sometimes stumble. Don't be careless. The three of you Although elder brother is older than you, he is not as good as you in terms of temperament and handling of affairs, but everyone in Chang'an knows his dandyism, no one dares to provoke them, this time I let them follow you back to Xingyangzhuang, no one dares to bully you."

"Okay, I got it, uncle. The three brothers are all good. Don't say that about the three brothers. The eldest brother has a stable temper. He will definitely be the leader of the Cheng family in the future. The second and third brothers are just for fun. He is a member of a tiger general, the tiger father has no dogs, hehe, as for the third brother, the third brother just wants to play now, he will be fine in the future, and will not suffer outside, and I have my uncle and three brothers to support me, who Dare to bully me?"

"Haha, you look good, but I value you the most, Xiaohan. You have a broad mind and know a lot. Our family will rely on you in the future, so that when your uncle and I leave in a hundred years, we will be safe."

"Uncle, you are sure to live a long life. Don't you say that good people don't live long, and evil will last thousands of years, haha"

"Stinky boy, are you looking for a beating? How dare you say that about your uncle and me? Who is the culprit? Tell the old man clearly."

"Haha, which one should I go to see how the blacksmith is doing? After talking, I ran away with a smile."

Cheng Yaojin sat on the teacher's chair, looked at Zhao Han with a smile, and thought that it's nice to be young.

Zhao Han walked up to the blacksmith, feeling like a big furnace room. The blacksmiths were shirtless and working hard on the iron. After a while, they made horseshoes, and then put them in cold water. After a while, they took them out of the cold water. The horseshoe let Zhao Han see if it was what Zhao Han wanted.

"Look, Uncle, we made this according to Uncle's drawings. If there is anything wrong, we can modify it."

"No, it's good, what you made is what I want, you make four, and then bring them over."

"Uncle, uncle, you should go out and sit for a while, it's too hot in here, we are afraid that you will suffer from heat stroke, uncle."

"Okay, you have worked hard."

Zhao Han came out with a horseshoe, walked to the door and saw Cheng Yaojin waiting at the door.

"Uncle, look, this is what I call a horseshoe. This is an iron piece. These are horse nails. Just nail the iron piece to the horse's hoof. The horse will never wear out when it runs. The horseshoe will wear out in the future." , as long as you change the horseshoes on time."

"Won't the horse hurt when the nails are driven into the horse's hoof?"

"Uncle, this horseshoe is like a human nail. If you pierce your nail with a nail, will it hurt, uncle?"

"Well, that's right, you'll know after a while, Xiaohan, if this is done, no one will dare to underestimate you in the future, but you must not be proud, you know? Don't be like those dudes Don't do business, work hard, your future will be no worse than my uncle's."
