Datang all-rounder

Chapter 110

Wang Ke saw that he was very free these days, and planned to take advantage of this time to go around the shops and kilns he had set up.

Although someone is in charge, it is not a problem if I don't show up for a long time. After a long time, I am afraid that those workers have thoughts in their hearts. If I show up from time to time, it can also make the workers feel at ease when they do things!
When Wang Ke talked to his three wives, everyone clamored to go together.Dongyue knows every place and has seen it. Nanping and Lanling are different. I have only heard of many places, but I have never really seen them. I must be very happy to be able to go now.

Wang Ke took them around the city first. In fact, the city was just a furniture store and a restaurant. It didn't take long to see these two places.The next place to go is Zhuangzili, where there are many things Wang Ke played.

Along the way, the three women never stopped talking, Nanping and Lanling asked questions, and Dongyue answered them.Wang Ke was driving the car, watching the three girls talking non-stop, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.It's been a long time since he's been so comfortable, there are more or less things in every day that prevent him from completely relaxing.

Today, Wang Ke made a good idea. After seeing all the places, he took the three daughters to play on the mountain behind Zhuangzi. The weather is fine now, so it would be a waste not to come out to play.When he came out just now, Wang Ke had already secretly put a large bag of food in the trunk of the car, both raw and cooked, and also prepared various seasonings. I went home after having fun.

Of course, Wang Ke did all this without telling the three daughters, and he wanted to give them a big surprise.

When he came to the village, Uncle Wang, the housekeeper of the village, got the news and immediately came to greet him. The young master hadn't come for a long time, and when he came, he brought the princess along.

Uncle Wang felt extremely excited in his heart. In his opinion, his young master is really powerful. It would be great to marry a princess in other people's family. His own young master, if he doesn't marry, he won't marry. This marriage is two, this is true have the ability.

After seeing the princess, Uncle Wang patted his chest and said to Wang Ke: "Master, what is the reason for coming today? If you have something to do, you can just order the young master, and the old man will do it. The old man should be at ease when he does things!"

Wang Ke said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I'm here today to see how our workshops are doing, and to see how the cotton we planted looks like now. It's nothing, Wang Ke If uncle has anything to do, he will go and help you, so there is no need to follow."

Uncle Wang saw that Wang Ke and the others were fine, so he didn't say anything, and after saluting, he was busy with his work.

Wang Ke and his party walked around, stopping wherever they went and talking to the people present, asking how life is going now, after all, they are all from their own village, Wang Ke is still very concerned about their lives, he knows , these people live well, and they will be more considerate to his boss.

Walking all the way in Zhuangzi, Wang Ke is still satisfied with the situation in Zhuangzi. Today he also made a temporary decision. The people in Zhuangzi didn't know that he was going to come, so he believed that what he saw was definitely not deliberately arranged by Uncle Wang. From the conversation with the people in the village and the houses they live in, it can be seen that the Wang family's Zhuangzi is doing relatively well now. It may not be said that every family is rich, but there is no one who is poor and cannot afford to eat.

When he came to the furniture workshop, Wang Ke found that it was not the same as when he was at the beginning of the day.At the beginning there were only a few carpenters who could only make a few pieces of furniture. Looking at this yard now, there are more than 30 to [-] carpenters working there at the same time.Carpenter Yang walked around in the crowd without stopping, and kept yelling. It can be seen that he is now the manager of the furniture workshop.

Dongyue pulled Wang Ke's clothes in surprise, and asked, "Master, when did our furniture workshop get so big?"

Wang Ke said with a smile on his face: "I don't know either. If I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't even know it has such a large scale now!"

Hearing someone talking, Carpenter Yang turned his head. Seeing that Wang Ke was coming, he greeted him with a smile on his face, saluted Wang Ke and the three daughters, and said, "I don't know if the young master and the three young wives are here, the younger Go out to meet him, please don't blame the young master and young mistresses."

Wang Ke smiled and shook his hand and said, "It's okay, we just passed by to have a look."

After Wang Ke said that, he walked into the yard. Carpenter Yang rubbed his hands and said, "Master, it's messy inside. Don't get your and young mistress's clothes dirty. It's better not to go in, just look at the door."

Hearing what Carpenter Yang said, Wang Ke stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said to the three women who were following him to go in, "Don't go in, just wait for me to go in and have a look."

The three women stopped obediently, and Nan Ping said softly: "General, be careful, don't get caught by those logs."

Wang Ke nodded and walked in accompanied by Carpenter Yang.

Wang Ke pointed to the workers who were working and asked, "Why are there so many people now, and when were they recruited?"

Carpenter Yang replied respectfully: "Isn't this because more and more people are buying furniture? Uncle Zhang asked us to make some low-end furniture. In this way, there will be insufficient manpower. The younger one told Steward Wang, I just decided to add some people one after another, and now there are 39 carpenters here, but there will be more in a few days."

After Wang Ke heard about it, he said, "You have to make arrangements for those who come, and don't let them say that Zhuangzi has treated them badly."

Carpenter Yang said with a smile: "Young Master, don't worry, who doesn't want to come to work in our village now, our Zhuangzi is very famous now, everyone knows that our Zhuangzi eats well, works well and earns money, so we can drive down in a year Much better than growing crops."

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, he said quickly: "You should pay attention to this matter. Farming is still the first priority. There is no food, no matter how much money you earn, it is useless."

Carpenter Yang said disapprovingly: "If you have money in your hand, just go and buy it. What are you afraid of? You can't buy anything with money."

When Wang Ke heard this, he was both happy and worried. He was happy because these people already had the idea of ​​buying food and wine with money, which would promote the circulation of commodities and be an incentive for businessmen; Well, it is because people are afraid that if people think like this, then no one will be willing to farm again. After a long time, good land will be barren, and then the cart before the horse.In this era, the food production is not high. If some land is left barren, it will be a great sin.

Wang Ke didn't say anything to Carpenter Yang. He understood, but he wouldn't understand if he told them. He had to figure out what to do about this matter.After turning around, Wang Ke and Carpenter Yang talked about the precautions, and then left with the three girls.

After leaving Zhuangzi, Wang Ke and his entourage came to several kiln entrances. Before seeing the kiln workers, they first saw the construction team he had formed moving materials.

Wang Ke stepped forward and asked, "Who are you building a house for now? I don't think I've heard that you have stopped."

Chen Shijiang turned his head to see Wang Ke, and hurriedly stood up to salute and said, "So it's the young master. How can we stop now, since the young master's wedding, people have come to look for him every day, and now the time is arranged until next year."

Wang Ke felt a little strange now. At the beginning, this stone craftsman Chen came to him and asked him to draw construction drawings, but it had been a long time since he came here. Why is he still doing this?

Wang Ke couldn't help asking.

Chen Shijiang scratched his head embarrassingly and said: "Isn't this done too much? The younger one also imitated the young master's drawings and drew a few times, and now he can barely handle it. In addition, the young master is also busy, so he didn't come to look for it again." Master."

Wang Ke was a little curious, and said repeatedly: "Is there any painting on your body now? Take a look!"

Chen Shijiang took out a stack of paper from his body and handed it to Wang Ke. Wang Ke opened it and saw that it was really well drawn.

After Wang Ke read them one by one, he handed them back and said seriously: "Not bad! But you must pay attention to it. If there are places where you can't hold it firmly, don't force it. Building a house, especially a house like ours, has a little If you are careless, big things will happen. Building a house is a long-term plan, and quality is the most important thing. Don't be careless!"

Chen Shijiang also replied solemnly: "Young master, don't worry, I will remember everything you said, even if we don't make money, we won't do those immoral things and disgrace our palace!"

Wang Ke patted Chen Shijiang on the shoulder and said, "You're right. You can't do unconscionable things just because you want to make money. That's not what we do. We just do the best we can. Keep busy, let me see first." Look around. If you want to ask me anything, just come to me at any time, don't have any worries."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ke turned to the side. He still remembered that after seeing these places, he would take his three wives to play in the mountains.

Wang Ke didn't intend to take a closer look at the brick kiln. Anyway, it is the building materials that are being fired now. Wang Ke feels that as long as it is done according to the craftsmanship, there will be no problem, so what he thinks is, look at the brick kiln. Look at those kiln workers and leave.

Walking into the room where the kiln workers rested, several kiln workers rushed forward when they saw Wang Ke coming, and said to Wang Ke: "Young Master, the younger ones said that they would take some time to invite the Young Master, and the Young Master is here today." , exactly."

Wang Ke asked puzzledly, "Why, what's the problem?"

The kiln workers hurriedly said: "It's not that there is a problem, it's just that we have some ideas and would like to ask the young master for advice."

After talking, he handed some crumpled paper to Wang Ke. Wang Ke took a look and found that when they were firing these building materials, there were some special things, and each time they needed a small amount. , firing alone is really wasteful, so they thought about summarizing all these materials and unifying the sizes, so that they can produce a batch at a time in the future, and take them away when they want them, and they don’t need to When the time comes, it will be burned now, not only saving fuel, but also saving time.

Wang Ke glanced at these people in surprise. He was already impressed by what these kiln workers did. This is completely the standard for later generations.

The kiln workers didn't know that Wang Ke was amazed for them, and murmured, "Young master, do you think this will work?"

"Is it okay? Don't say that word, it's okay!" Wang Ke said loudly: "You have a good idea, and you will do it in the future. Only if you think you can do it, you can do it yourself. If there is a problem, it's okay."

Several kiln workers did not expect such a big reaction from Wang Ke, and they immediately became happy. Wang Ke said some words of encouragement to them, turned around, and walked to the mouth of the kiln where the porcelain was fired.

Turning around the kiln entrance, Wang Ke didn't see any shadows of the kiln workers. Wang Ke was very surprised, and didn't know where these kiln workers went.

When he was at his wit's end and wanted to leave, he saw a few kiln workers running back panting.
