Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 170 Infrastructure Talents
Dian Zhengnan said: "My brother loves cleanliness the most. If you buy a [-]-mouth tank, it must be used for bathing the soldiers, so as not to get lice on your body, and distract yourself from scratching it when you are fighting."

"Nonsense, I don't need so many big tanks to take a bath," Xie Zhen said.

Chai Lindao: "If you are not in charge, you don't know that rice is expensive. Every day when you open your eyes, thousands of people and thousands of animals are waiting to eat. This is all money. We have the official salt approval from the prefect of Su, and we can be serious. Operating official salt. Don’t look at the fact that a catty of salt costs 23 ten cents per catty in retail, but actually it’s five cents per catty when it’s shipped from the salt farm. , sauerkraut, etc. can be produced and manufactured. Firstly, our own industries have many construction sites, and military factories and mines all need a lot of pickles, and secondly, we can take them out and sell them, and the profit is not low.”

Ten thousand pickle jars, pickling pickles together, what a magnificent scene.

Chailin ordered a large vat, and took the two of them to the red brick field not far away, where red bricks are specially fired. Red bricks are fired at a lower temperature and are not as durable as blue bricks, but the price is lower than that of blue bricks.In fact, blue bricks are not used at all in the construction of general houses. The blue bricks that Chailin chose in the early stage were used to build factories. Now red bricks can be used to build houses.

The boss is also surnamed Tao, called Tao Zongxing.I am a middle-aged man who is almost 40 years old. The scale of this kiln factory is not bad. It covers an area of ​​more than ten acres. It is estimated that there can be five or six people.

Lao Tao drank two more glasses at noon today, and dozed off while sitting in front of the wheat straw in the brick factory.

The sound of horseshoes awakened Tao Zongxing, and Chai Lin got off his horse outside the brick yard, and came over and said, "Is this Old Tao Uncle? I am from Chaijiazhuang."

Chailin and his cavalry team often patrolled the vicinity, killing wolves, wild boars, bears and other wild animals that harmed the place.Bandits and even petty thefts are gone, and the lives of ordinary people are much better than before.

Tao Zongxing said: "Oh, isn't this the owner of Chai Zhuang? You can just call me Lao Tao. If you haven't eaten, I will arrange. Let's cook mutton?"

Chai Lin said: "Old Tao, you are not welcome. In the spring, we will build houses, and we will use a lot of red bricks and blue tiles. I want to come to you to buy some." People have a habit of building houses these days. If you want to use red tiles, you need blue tiles to build a house with red bricks.

"I don't know how many houses Chaizhuang mainly builds and how many red bricks are needed." Tao Zongxing asked.

Chai Lin made some calculations. It takes hundreds of houses to build a fixed barracks in the township barracks, hundreds of houses for thousands of people in iron mines and quarries by the sea, and dormitories and primary schools in Chaijiazhuang. It's too messy to add up.

"It's about [-] houses, and there will be more in the second half of the year." Chailin said.

Tao Zongxing had just taken a sip of tea, and almost choked to death when he heard Chai Lin say that there were [-] houses.Red bricks are worthless, five yuan for a penny, but [-] houses need a lot of bricks.

Tao Zongxing shook his head, and quickly said: "Master Chai, this is a small brick factory, with six or seven people in total. Even if you work overtime a year, you can only build red bricks with hundreds of houses."

Chailin took a few red bricks and inspected them carefully. There is no need to say how strong these bricks are. They are made of clay and are very strong. If a street performer of hard qigong uses these red bricks, he will definitely break his hand and break his bones.

"Old Tao, you are humble. Now that the recruiting flag is erected, there are people who can eat food. As long as there are orders, are you afraid that you will not be able to recruit people? You can hire a hundred or eighty people without leaving the village. I value the quality of your bricks." Alright, I will entrust this matter to you." Chailin said.

Chai Lin took a large ingot of 50 taels of silver from Dianzhengnan and handed it to Tao Zongxing.

Tao Zongxing's head was buzzing, and he didn't sell enough 50 taels of money this year.

"The owner is this?" Tao Zongxing asked.

"This is the deposit. Chaijiazhuang will build two schools. The foundations have been laid, and construction will start in the spring. You can send dozens of cars of red bricks tomorrow, and sign a contract with Li Yun, the shopkeeper of my village. As long as you are old Tao guarantees the quality. The 50 taels of silver is my deposit for you, and the goods will be settled in batches, and you will never be in arrears." Chailin said.

Tao Zongxing's happy heart beat faster, thumping, feeling like it would jump out at any moment.Even with the bricks for tens of thousands of houses, even if the profit is kept to a minimum, he can earn hundreds of taels of silver a year, so he is the richest man in Taojiazhuang.

Tao Zongxing said: "No problem, no problem. Don't worry, Mr. Chai, I will check all the bricks before shipment, and there will never be any unqualified bricks."

"That's good. We haven't known each other for a year or two. I'm still relieved of your bricks." Chailin said.

Tao Zongxing said: "Master Chai, you need to build so many houses on your estate, do you need a foreman who supervises the construction of the houses to lead the team?"

There are quite a lot of masons, and not many can take the lead. Chen Heng from Chaijiazhuang is one of them, but with so many projects, one Chen Heng can't handle it.

"Old Tao, do you have any good talents to recommend? As long as you have the level and real ability, the treatment in Chaijiazhuang is nothing to say. If you want money, you can have money, you can have a house, and you don't have to worry about children going to school." Chailin asked.

Tao Zongxing smiled and said: "I know this situation naturally. There are several soldiers in the village, and everyone has a donkey. There is nothing to say about this treatment. The person I want to introduce is called Tao Zongwang, who is my younger brother. A few days ago I went to Gwangju to build a courtyard for a rich family in [-], and I married him in the local area. I heard that it was not satisfactory these years, and I want him to bring his wife back."

Gwangju is far away, which is the current Xinyang area.Chai Lin was very surprised. He didn't expect that the famous Tao Zongwang turned out to be his neighbor village, but he just married into Gwangju.This Tao Zongwang is incredible, not to mention his infinite martial arts strength, he is proficient in all kinds of houses and city wall construction, he can be regarded as an infrastructure madman, such a person is a proper talent.I think Tao Zongwang should still be working in Gwangju at this time, and he hasn't gone to Huangmen Mountain to fall grass yet.

Chai Lin said: "That's great. Why don't you write a letter, Lao Tao, and I'll send someone to send it to Brother Zongwang. If he comes, I'll arrange a supervisory position for him. He'll still be in his old job, supervising production." houses."

Tao Zongxing said: "My younger brother has a stubborn temper. If he is bluntly told to let him come back, he may not be willing. Master Chai needs to attract him with something unusual."

Chai Lin said: "That's no problem, but do you know what brother Zongwang likes? What is he more curious about?"

"It should be said that although my brother can also use gunwheel knives, his favorite is civil engineering. He is more interested in construction tools such as shovels and hoes." Tao Zongxing said.

Chai Lin patted his thigh and said, "What am I supposed to be? There are shovels, hoes, and picks made of fine steel in my estate."

Tao Zongxing was very happy. He immediately went to the brick yard, found a pen and paper, and wrote a letter, inviting his younger brother to come back to work. Chaijiazhuang is building a lot of construction, building many workshops, houses, etc., and it is in need of talents like him.

Tao Zongxing said: "Send this letter together with the new tools in Guizhuang to my brother through the post shop. I believe he will definitely come back."

Chai Lin was very happy to receive the letter and said: "Old Tao, don't worry, leave it to me. I will arrange someone to handle this matter, and strive to reunite your brothers as soon as possible."

This can be regarded as an unexpected harvest today, all the shopkeepers in the village are busy with their own affairs, and it is impossible for Chai Lin to be a shopkeeper without leaving his hands.

　It's the end of the month, and friends who have monthly tickets can help me out by dropping a few, but there are too few tickets.
