    Luo Zining planned to train a few management talents to manage the factory for him.

    The brick factory will continue to expand in the future, and the construction of the entire fief needs the bricks from the brick factory, and only Chen Er can't manage it at all.

    Textile factories will need to be more refined in the future. Some will spin wool to make woolen fabrics, some will spin fabrics, and some will specialize in clothing. This may require at least three separate factories.

    It just so happens that these twenty-five people are trained now, and they will take care of things for him in the future, and he can also spare time to do other things.

    Luo Zining not only wants to teach them how to manage the factory and the workers, but also wants to select a few of them to learn how to calculate accounts. Neither factory has an accountant, and most of the brick factory and textile factory are self-produced and sold.In the end, if you want to do business, you have to need an accountant.

    After the meeting, he gave them some questions to see who had the talent for calculating accounts, and taught him how to calculate accounts.

    He taught them for one morning every two days, and spent the rest of the time arranging for the workers to repair the palace.

    He first drew a top view of the original palace, and then called people from the brick factory who knew architecture to discuss how to improve it.

    The previous prince who lived here only came to escape the summer heat, so he didn’t make heating facilities, but the building was not bad, and the furniture inside was also made of good materials. At most, it was in disrepair, the roof leaked,When the wall cracked, it was repaired, and when it was crushed by snow, it was rebuilt.

    The most important thing is that every house must have a kang and a fire wall. Whether it is the yard of the servants or the yard of the owner's house, the heating facilities must be done well, so that no one will freeze to death.

    And last winter, the stove in the house should also be equipped, so that everyone doesn't have to run to the kitchen if they want to drink hot water in the house.

    When it was the turn of Luo Zining and the prince's room, Luo Zining originally wanted to build a big kang, but he went to the room to look around. The bed in the room was really beautiful.The entire golden nanmu tree was built by dozens of craftsmen in three years.

    If this bed is placed on the market, it is estimated that it can be sold for a sky-high price. He has never slept on such a good thing.

    What's more, when he sleeps on this bed, he feels like he is sleeping in a palace. If he gets a kang, he feels like a country love.

    The craftsmen who built the house said: "It's better to get a floor heating. For such a good house, get a kang, and you have to light a fire in the house to keep warm, and there will be dust everywhere. Not only will a layer of dust fall on the furniture and the ground every day.In the nose, the nose gets blocked, too."

    Luo Zining's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Do you still do floor heating?"

    He had heard of floor heating before traveling, but didn't he think that there was floor heating in ancient times?

    The craftsmen explained to him in detail how to make this floor heating, which is similar to burning a kang, except that this kang has become the floor of their house.

    Get something like a kang hole under the ground, build the furnace door outside, and burn the fire from the outside, the ground of the whole house will be warm, and the dust is not as easy to enter the house as the kang.

    Besides floor heating, they also planned to install a fire wall in the house, and install a stove that Luo Zining strongly requested.

    When Luo Zining saw the design drawings they drew, just listening to them, he felt that living in such a room was different from living in a sauna room?

    Moreover, after a rough estimate of the main house, Luo Zining felt that the size of the main house was about 200 square meters.

    Before he crossed over, their house was more than 200 square meters. His family had a large population. He also had two younger sisters. Each of the three children shared a room, and their parents shared a room.Praise his house is really big.

    But the main house of the Wangfu is different from his house. Although they are all over 200 square meters, everyone in their house has their own room, including the kitchen, living room, dining room, and cloakroom.The main house is just his and the prince's bedroom.

    There are special study rooms, living rooms, and kitchens in the yard.

    The kitchen he was talking about was not the kitchen they used to cook, but a separate small kitchen in the courtyard of the main house, which could be used to cook supper and snacks for the host family on weekdays.

    The previous layout of the main house was a bed, a dining table, a dressing table, a shower room, and beds for the maids.

    These have to be kept. Although he is not a woman, he still needs a dressing table. Now that he has become an ancient man, he has to comb his long hair every day, and Huo Lingzhi also has to comb his hair.

    Besides, the small room where the servant girl sleeps has to be reserved. He doesn't need a servant girl to serve him, but Huo Lingzhi's legs are inconvenient, so he has to be served by someone. He thinks that they are both men, and he feels uncomfortable letting the servant girl live in him. He can change it.The man lived in and took care of Huo Lingzhi washing, bathing, and getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.

    In addition to keeping these things, he also wants to install the study in the room. It’s too cold here in winter, and he can’t go out from the warm room in the cold winter and go across the yard to work in the special study., and then ran back against the wind and snow.

    He had already thought of the winter, the comfortable scene of him stepping on the warm floor with his bare feet and working on the sofa.

    Thinking of the sofa, he had to arrange for someone to make a set.

    He is still very interested in the matter of decorating his own room, especially if he has an idea, if he tells it to others, others will not dare to fool him and complete the work according to the requirements, saving trouble and worry.

    He drew a drawing combining the ancient and the modern. On the one hand, he wanted to keep the original layout, and on the other hand, he wanted to add a study room. In the study room, there should not only be a table, but also modern bookshelves, sofas, and even beanbags.

    He felt that it would be impossible for Chen Da to do carpentry work alone. He asked if anyone in the brick factory knew how to do carpentry, or if anyone was interested in carpentry, they all went to Chen Er to sign up.Form a carpentry team with Chen Da.

    The brick factory now has two departments, one is dedicated to the production and transportation of bricks, and the other is dedicated to building houses.

    Now he thinks it’s not enough to only have these two departments. Recently, many people come from other places to find jobs. They are much poorer than outside, but the cities outside are rich, but there are not so many job opportunities. There are manyPeople can barely make a living, but here, in addition to wages, three meals a day are also included.

    After the weather warmed up, a large number of workers wanted to come to the brick factory to find a way to survive. This month, the number increased by a hundred. The dormitory has not been built yet, and they said that it is okay, they can build a shack to sleep.

    After there were too many people, Luo Zining felt that it was a bit messy, and the division of labor had to be more detailed, for example, a transportation department had to be created to transport these bricks.

    Moreover, the old factory manager can't just let the old factory director come alone, so the supply can't be supplied, so he asked the old factory manager to quickly pick some people from his sons and nephews to burn bricks, or choose some people from the workers to be apprentices, Burn bricks with him.

    The old factory manager is also a person who wants to start. Now the brick factory is no longer theirs. Several sons and nephews have become the leadership of the brick factory, and they don’t have to work. They just need to direct the people under them to workYes, the factory is still similar to their factory.

    Moreover, the wages have been rising all the time. They have renovated their house and can eat enough for every meal. The happiest thing is that his youngest daughter-in-law has recently become pregnant. The princess said that their children will grow up in the future.When you grow up, as long as you have the ability, you can take over the class of your parents.

    This kind of good life depends entirely on the princess. His family members seem to work in the factory as before, but he knows in his heart that this factory is no longer theirs. They just work under the princess.Sooner or later, he has to hand it over, otherwise he will feel guilty.

    After the concubine spoke, he picked a few people who had seen him carefully as his apprentices. Those people he picked were not only good-natured, but he also took a fancy to the person whose parents had both died and had no brothers or sisters at home. Not only did heHe only regards these few people as his apprentices, and also as godsons.

    Luo Zining, a new employee, divided them into two groups. One group built dormitories, and the other group built a canteen.

    One canteen in the past was not enough to eat, and every day crowded many people had to squat at the door with their rice bowls to eat. He counted the number of people and said that two more canteens would be built, and a sign was hung on it, which said one canteenTwo canteens and three canteens.

    He even thought that the meals sold in several cafeterias were different, not only to make them full, but also to be interesting, otherwise living the same life every day would easily make people numb and lose their fighting spirit.

    The newly built canteen requires someone to cook. The previous canteen was used by the daughters-in-law of the old factory manager’s family. He asked the factory to count who has wives, older sisters and younger sisters, or who can work in their forties or fifties.Every old lady can sign up to cook in the cafeteria and get paid.

    And he also built a small kindergarten in the brick factory. It is said to be a kindergarten, but it is actually a small house. If you want to work in the canteen but are afraid that you will not have time to look after your children, you can temporarily put your children in this kindergarten and hire two moreAn older and more patient woman, who was also chosen from the workers' families, helped look after the children.

    At first, Luo Zining was afraid that no one would want his wife to work in the cafeteria. After all, going to the cafeteria is not only to cook, but also to cook for them. Ancient people were feudal, would it be acceptable for his wife or younger sister or even his mother to show his face?

    But didn’t expect that as long as there are wives in the family, they will sign up. They think that the cafeteria can cook three meals a day, and they don’t have to go out to expose themselves to the wind and sun, and they don’t have to work hard to move bricks. They can earn 150 yuan a month.It's not much easier than them. Cooking is not a dishonest thing. Whoever doesn't ask his wife to come over is a fool.

    One even brought his seventy-year-old mother, who was on crutches, and asked if she could cook too.

    When Luo Zining saw this person's old lady, he thought it was over ninety. When he asked about seventies, he was very surprised. Seventies sounded very old, but he remembered that before crossing, his neighbor's auntIn his seventies, he still rides a bicycle to pick up his granddaughter from school every day, and dances a two-hour square dance. He doesn't look old at all.

    But the hardships of life in ancient times made people in their seventies look like those in their nineties.

    He quickly refused, for fear that the old lady would die of exhaustion in the cafeteria by accident.

    Luo Zining took a look at the candidates for the canteen workers, and there were more than thirty people, ranging in age from teens to forties, and Luo Zining wanted them all.

    He was busy going in and out all day, and the time passed so quickly that he didn't notice it until one day he saw the trees in the yard growing green leaves, and he realized, is it almost summer?

    He also didn't think about asking Huo Lingzhi to go outing together, and went to farm in a hurry.

    He took the rice seedlings that had sprouted long ago to the field to plant rice seedlings.

    The two people Boss Cheng helped hire were a husband and wife, in their forties, who had been farming since they were sensible, but they had never grown rice. Luo Zining showed them how to transplant rice seedlings and how to take care of the rice.

    They learned quickly, and they were honest and responsible. Luo Zining even built a small house for them next to the rice field, let them live beside the field, and could help watch over it.

    The story of the princess planting rice spread, and even the workers in the brick factory and the winery heard about it. No one on their side had ever planted rice. They felt that it might not be possible, but they were afraid of the truth.If it fails, Luo Zining will be sad. It just so happens that this field is in the middle of the winery and brick factory. These workers pass by to help weeding and catching insects when they get off work. pray that the rice will be a success!Otherwise, the princess would be sad to death.

    When they saw the rice grow taller, they were also happy, but when they saw a seedling die, they were also sad.

    ...

    On the other hand, Boss Cheng took dozens of jars of wine to Lincheng before the winery started production.

    Boss Li waited eagerly for him, lying at the door every day waiting for Boss Cheng to come over. This morning he sat at the door and waited, wondering if Boss Cheng could come today?

    Xiao Er couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and wanted to say that since the sales of Qiongjiang wine went crazy, their boss has become a husband-wife stone, looking forward to Boss Cheng's arrival every day.

    Every time Boss Cheng came over, he would bring more than 20 jars of wine with him, but their city is big and there are many people. There are about 700,000 to 800,000 people in this city.It's gone.

    In the past, he was afraid that when Boss Cheng's winery opened and the production volume increased, they would not be the only wine sellers, but now that there is not enough wine to sell, he is reluctant to drink it even if he wants to drink it. He wishes that Boss Cheng's winery will open soonWhen he gets up, he can open his mouth and drink as he pleases.

    Today, he sat outside all morning. He was addicted to alcohol, and he was too hungry. He thought that Boss Cheng would not come, so he got up and walked inside. He heard Boss Cheng calling him from a distance: "Brother Li!"

    Boss Li almost cried when he heard this.

    He ran over quickly and greeted Boss Cheng in person, but kept his eyes on the wine jar in the car.

    "This time it's twenty altars again? When will your winery open?" Boss Li thought to himself that if the time had to wait too long, he would stay for a jar to drink by himself. No matter who came to ask, he would notSell.

    "Hurry up, I'll start driving after I go back this time, and I'll give you more next time." Boss Cheng's face was flushed with a smile, "The dry food we ate along the way is tasteless in our mouths, let's eat while we go in.explain."

    "Okay, okay." Boss Li dragged Xiaoer over, "Good wine and good food!"

    They were about to go upstairs to the box when someone ran over and asked him if the wine was for sale?He wants twenty altars.

    Boss Li quickly waved his hand: "Limited, maximum three jars per person, twenty jars in total, I can't sell all of them to you, don't think I don't know what you want to buy so many."

    The man was not angry, but said: "Three altars are three altars, hurry up and get me the goods."

    Boss Li talked to Boss Cheng, and then asked the shop assistant to go to the car to carry the goods for them.

    When they arrived at the private room on the second floor, Boss Cheng opened the window and looked down, and found that the twenty jugs of wine he brought were all sold out in the short time they went upstairs. This wine is indeed a hot item.He also felt relieved.

    "Brother Li, what happened to that man just now? What is he going to do?" Boss Cheng asked him.

    "He is a clerk in the restaurant in the west of the city. Not only him, but also several other restaurant shopkeepers want to buy all our wine and sell it at a high price, so I said it is limited."Liquor now sells for three hundred taels, which is ten times higher than Boss Cheng’s purchase ratio of thirty taels. He thought he was unscrupulous enough, but he didn’t expect people from other restaurants to buy for three hundred taels and sell for five or six hundred taels a jar.go.

    Boss Cheng patted his thigh, "What I want to tell you is similar to what happened."

    Boss Li was taken aback by the sound of his thigh slapping, "What, what's the matter?"

    Boss Cheng told him what Luo Zining had told him, and he brought the goods to Boss Li for storage, and then Boss Li wholesaled them out.

    When Boss Li heard this, he grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears, "That's great, but you can't bring much wine when you come here, I can eat it all by myself."

    Luo Zining has also thought about this problem before. After all, wine jars are easy to break, so we need to slow down and have more people guard the wine to prevent the wine jars from falling from the car and breaking, so we can't bring too many at a time.come out.

    So Luo Zining told Boss Cheng that it can be changed to wooden barrels, and one car can hold three or four barrels.

    "One barrel can hold ten altars. I will sell you 300 taels per barrel, and you will wholesale 350 taels per barrel. This price is set by us. You can't increase the price. After the opening of my winery, the output has increased.If you raise the price, it will be slow to sell, after all, I want to sell not only your city, but also all over the country, so this price is unreasonable, we don’t care if you want hundreds of cars for retail in the inn.”Boss Cheng said.

    Boss Li nodded quickly, "The production of this wine has increased, so the price must be lowered. I can't just think about making money for myself, suppressing the wine and not selling it to raise the price. Isn't that disregarding your life and death? I have long regarded you as aMy real brother, I definitely can’t do that kind of disrespectful thing, and it’s only 350 taels a barrel, I can still make a net profit of 50 taels, as if I’m lying down to make money, and I’ll have someone rebuild it in a whileA cellar, dedicated to wine."

    "Okay, then it's settled. I'm going to send you a hundred barrels of wine to test the water next time, and then I'll send you more." Boss Cheng chatted happily with him, and the two of them drank the whole dayaltar of wine.

    The two of them drank too much and slept for a day and a night. Since Boss Cheng delivered wine to Boss Li, when he came to Boss Li's place again, he was not only free of food, but also free of accommodation expenses.

    Boss Cheng refused him a few times, but he didn't take any money, and Boss Cheng didn't insist anymore. He just said that he wouldn't come here often, and he would go up to three times a year to let Boss Li take care of those who sold goods in his house.child.

    Boss Li readily agreed that he had long regarded Boss Cheng as his own, and Boss Cheng's people were his people.

    Boss Cheng went to buy everything he wanted to buy, but it was more difficult to find a doctor to work there. Most of the doctors here have their own medical clinics. Who can follow Boss Cheng there without leaving home?kind of poor place.

    Boss Cheng's offer may be very attractive, but Boss Cheng and the others are poor. They have money and have no place to spend it, and there is no good food or fun. It hurts to look at the money in their hands every day.

    Moreover, Boss Cheng also said that he would transfer his household registration. Who would transfer from a prosperous city to a city that doesn't shit?

    And those who are willing to go, most of them are quack doctors with little ability. It is troublesome to bring such people, and they will kill people if they can't be cured.

    Boss Li saw his difficulty, and after asking a question, he told him about his desire to find a doctor.

    I want to find four, and want to find the kind that can go with him to settle down there.

    "It's not easy to find, but I have someone to choose." Boss Li asked him to wait, and told Xiao Er to go out and find someone.

    After a while, Xiao Er found a middle-aged man who seemed very down and out.

    Behind the man was a little girl and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old man, and in his hand was the banner with the words Miaoshouhuichun written on it.

    No matter how you look at it, this looks like a quack doctor. Is this person really reliable?

    Boss Li took them to the private room, and gave a general introduction to the situation of the middle-aged doctor. He has two sons and a daughter. He originally opened a pharmacy at home, and he also sees doctors, and his medical skills are very good.

    It’s just that he’s down now. The reason for his downfall is that the eldest son went out to gamble behind his back. He lost everything in the family’s pharmacy and house..

    This incident pissed his grandma to death, his mother was also seriously ill and depressed, and the prodigal son didn't know where he went, it was said that he ran away to hide his debts.

    The middle-aged doctor stayed and set up a stall, but the youngest son and daughter went to see a doctor together, earning some money to pay back the money for the eldest son.

    But the eldest son owed usury, and the money was rolling in more and more, and the more he owed, the debt collectors often came to beat and scold the family, and they had no way to survive.

    Boss Li said that if Boss Cheng could take him away, letting him avoid those debt collectors would be considered a good deed.

    The middle-aged doctor's face was full of wind and frost, because he had been beaten many times by debt collectors, he was very timid, and he didn't dare to look at Boss Cheng.

    "We don't need a lot of wages, just let us have a safe place to live and have something to eat." The middle-aged doctor said.

    Boss Cheng thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll secretly take you out of the city, but I don't know if this matter will hurt Brother Li. After all, Brother Li brought them here, maybe someone saw him?"

    Boss Li smiled and said: "No one in this city dares to bully me yet. My second uncle is a teacher in the yamen, and I have been doing business in this city for so many years. No one in this city will give me a little bit of trouble. YouDon't worry, besides, even if someone dares to come and question me, I can still say that I was sick that day, and I asked him to come and see a doctor for me, and he left after seeing the doctor, who can be more serious?"

    Boss Cheng was relieved when he heard what he said, and said to the middle-aged doctor: "We are leaving today, you put on the clothes of our caravan, and hide in the carriage with your son and daughter, and go out of the city again."come out."

    Thank you very much for the middle-aged doctor, these days they eat and sleep in the open, and they are often beaten and kicked by the gangsters. His daughter was almost robbed and sold to that kind of place several times. He was almost forced to death. Now he has a way out.He wished he could go with Boss Cheng as soon as possible.

    And he wasn't afraid that Boss Cheng would sell him. After Boss Cheng's wine became popular in the city, even he knew that Boss Cheng opened a winery in Lincheng, so he could trust him.
