Chapter 6 Taking Over the Workshop
It can be said that Li Xian became a blockbuster. From the second day on, a business firm named "Bright Star" appeared, and the decoration of the store was different! Floor-to-ceiling glass windows, gorgeous colored lighting, and spacious, bright, and noble decoration; but there are only a dozen products, which are quite empty.
But it was these dozen or so items that caused the competition. The prices of these things are not expensive, the cheapest is only a few taels of silver, and the most expensive is no more than one hundred taels. It's just that there are just too many people wanting to buy. For many aristocrats, of course, the more such decorations, the better.
For a while, the newly established Brilliant Star Firm became a vegetable market.
Li Youwei is in charge of the management of the firm; as for Li Xian, he has taken over the entire workshop. In terms of business, Li Xian just mentioned a few words, and Li Youwei was able to perform exceptionally - this ability even Li Xian had to admire.
What Li Xian has to do now is two things, one thing is to continue to develop the Jasper Lantern Workshop; now the Jasper Lantern Workshop has been officially named: Lantern Workshop.
The second thing is to reorganize the entire Li family workshop. The success of the Lantern Workshop made the other workshops red-eyed.
Song Gang from the forging workshop, Liu Bin from the wood workshop, Tang Rong from the mid-stage foundation establishment from the magic tool workshop, and He Lin from the textile workshop, Aunt He Lin, all blocked the door of Li Xian's room. Sun Ming received his former "colleague" triumphantly.
Li Xian received everyone calmly, and seeing everyone's anxious eyes, he became more and more calm. "Seniors, don't worry. Since Li Xian has taken over this workshop, he must consider everyone. It's just that the boy's ability is limited, and many things need to be done step by step.
Now, the kid wants to know what the seniors are good at. "
Song Gang became impatient at first, "Is there anything I am good at or not good at? What I am best at is blacksmithing. In the whole Wuyang City, I dare say it is firmly in the top three. Even the royal craftsmen may not be stronger than me."
"Yes, Xiaoxian, everyone here is almost the best in Wuyang City, you don't have to doubt our ability." Aunt He Lin was also a little dissatisfied.
"Yes, yes." Tang Fusion and Liu Bin also agreed.
Li Xian secretly thought, what a solid foundation, what a big pie. But it seems that these people are also rebellious and unruly masters. Although each of them is engaged in "low business", they are also full of pride. Well, if you want to subdue these people, you have to show your hands!
Thinking of this, Li Xian pointed at Song Gang first, "Senior Song, dare you ask a few questions.
What are the factors that determine the quality of ironware? "
"Hmph, small problem, the purity of the iron, the quenching temperature, the number of times of forging, and the uniformity of forging, these are the four most important!"
"Okay, senior, do you have any proud works?"
"Yes! It's just hanging on the wall of the forging workshop, there are quite a few!"
Li Xian suddenly smiled, "Senior, I have seen your steelmaking materials and steps. I will provide two methods here, seniors can try.
The first method is to start stirring after refining a large amount of molten iron until no bubbles come out and brown steam appears.
The second method is to add a little quicklime. "
"Add quicklime?" Song Gang laughed, "Does it need to be bleached? Haha..."
"Senior, why don't you try it?"
"Okay, I'll try it." Song Gang did what he said, and left soon after.
Then Li Xian looked at the rest of the people, "Aunt He, how many pieces of cloth can the textile workshop produce at most in a day?"
"If you don't count the quality, you can weave up to 120 pieces of linen."
"Then is there a way for Aunt He to produce 12,000 bolts of cloth a day?"
"That's impossible. Unless you use the immortal method. But the immortal will not use the immortal method to do such lowly deeds." He Lin was already a little annoyed.
Li Xian smiled and turned to woodworker Liu Bin, "Senior Liu, are you the one who made the loom?"
"Yes. Why, do you have any advice, young master?" Liu Bin's tone was slightly mocking. Obviously, these "experts" are very dissatisfied with Li Xian's pointing fingers.
"I really need to teach you something!" Li Xian stood up without hesitation, "I have seen your looms, and they are all operated by individuals. Why don't you enlarge the loom and let the special person in charge of reeling silk Silk reeling, the special spinning that is responsible for spinning. Let the heavy action of the pedal be independent, and let the strong man take care of it?"
"Master, what you said is simple, but making such a loom is too expensive, and it is easy to cause problems. Master, you must not use magic to solve it. Only royal decrees and some cloth used for crowns are magic. Weaving, and the output is very, very low."
Li Xian smiled confidently, "Let's wait for a while until Senior Song Gang comes back."
Li Xian sat back again and began to close his eyes to rest his mind; but he was feeling in his heart that there are spells and practice in this world, which make many things easier. Such as cutting jade, such as making some basic tools, such as general smelting and forging.
Sure enough, only an hour later, Song Gang slammed open the door, holding some swords and iron embryos in his hands, which he hadn't had time to polish.
After seeing Li Xian with his eyes closed, Song Gang smirked a few times in embarrassment, and finally honestly put the iron embryo on the table in front of Li Xian, and then said awkwardly, "Master's method is really good, really good ;The last time I borrowed the help of Tang Rong Magical Artifact Workshop, I was able to reach the current level. That time I made weapons for my own guards during the Qi refining period."
Everyone saw that the most arrogant Song Gang was subdued, and finally looked at Li Xian with a different look.
Li Xian opened his eyes and looked around, "Seniors, I don't know much, but I have seen a lot. How the workshop will develop in the future depends on everyone's efforts. What I can provide is a little Just an idea.
Next, I announce that the elites from various workshops will be transferred to set up a research center, which will be responsible for improving tools, production efficiency, products, etc.
In addition, all workshops have been reorganized with reference to the lantern workshop, and a dividend mechanism has been established.
But the ugly words are up front, if anyone dares to be lazy, don't blame me for being cruel. It's not like I, Li Xian, haven't killed people before! "
Yes, Li Xian has killed people, the Li Xian in this world has really killed people.
Everyone nodded, even Tang Rong, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, had to nod. Although he was considered a small master in the foundation building period, he was still far behind the Li family.
"Senior Tang Rong, I want to systematically learn formations and how to make magic tools from seniors. Although I am only in the Qi refining period, I don't think this will prevent me from knowing formations in advance, or even more advanced talisman seals. wait."
"Extremely happy!" Tang Rong smiled happily. Look at the current Li Ming, I don't know how many people are envious; it's a great deal to be a master before the young master grows up.
Under Li Xian's control, Li's workshop was officially renamed "Bright Star" workshop, with Li Xian in charge of production and Li Youwei in charge of sales. After a few days of turmoil, all the structural forms were settled, and the workshop began to undergo tremendous changes; among them, Li Xian specially proposed simple numbers and calculation methods common to the earth, which provided countless conveniences for the study of formations.
And Li Xian also began to learn knowledge such as formations from Tang Rong, and jade carving skills from Sun Ming.
