Wang Yue laughed happily after receiving Liu Yan's order. He was about to say goodbye and leave when he heard Liu Yan say: "Tomorrow, you can take someone to clear out the room next to the observation deck in the pier. I will be of use."
"yes!"
Early the next morning, Liu Yan came to the lookout. There was a rather small room here, which was originally empty. Now Wang Yue was leading people to clean it up, and they took out many tattered things that no one wanted.
Liu Yan didn't care about this at this time, but called Chen Xun and his wife over.
"Captain A, you called us?"
Liu Yan looked at the two of them smiling happily and asked, "I've received my rations back. Isn't life easier now?"
Chen Jiangshi said: "Thanks to Chang Jia, I can finally take a breath now. With Chang Jia, I can have enough to eat."
"What orders does Commander A have for us?"
Chen Xun asked again, and Liu Yan pointed to the room in front of him and said, "I requisitioned that room to use it as a soap workshop. Later, inform everyone in the pier that there is no mine." With permission, no one is allowed to enter that room.”
"yes."
"In the evening, take someone to move the soap bars in my house and place them in a cool place. Also find me a lock."
Chen Xun nodded and took note, and immediately went to call for help.
Then Liu Yan said to Chen Jiang: "After dinner today, I would like to ask a few trustworthy family members to come to my house together. I have something to ask you to do. Remember, it must be the trustworthy family members of Dunjun."
Chen Xun was one year younger than Liu Yan, only twenty-one, so Liu Yan directly called Chen Jiang his younger brother and sister. This made Chen Jiangshi feel flattered. At this time, he smiled and assured: "Don't worry, Chief Jia. Although the family members in the pier alienated me intentionally or unintentionally when Liu Dayu was here, they still know who I am as a person and have some feelings for me in private." In our dealings, I know who is trustworthy and who is treacherous. I will definitely take care of this matter, so Commander A can rest assured."
Liu Yan nodded, and after giving all the instructions, he went back to the house to wait for the results.
In the evening, Chen Xun had moved all the soap blanks to Liu Dayu's original room, and also found a new copper lock. Liu Yan checked it and was very satisfied, so he locked the door. Tie it up and tie it directly around your waist.
"Find a wooden board, write the words "soap workshop" and hang it here. Tell everyone in the pier that I have requisitioned this room. No one can enter except for your family and the reliable family members I have found."
Chen Xun nodded heavily and agreed.
Wang Yue also came over at this time. After being busy today, he naturally knew that Liu Yan was preparing to do something, so he came over to get some things to do.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yan said: "You should have heard that I can make something called soap. This room will be the soap workshop in the future. I will be busy here during this time. Look inside the pier Wang Xiaoqi will take charge of the matter."
"Yes, this is all within one's duties, so don't worry, Commander A."
Wang Yue was smiling all over his face. Although Liu Yan excluded him, he had arranged things after all and the situation was not too bad.
"Wang Xiaoqi's department will be responsible for the lookout during this period. Chen Xiaoqi, you and your people are always ready to follow orders and keep an eye on this area."
"yes."
While he was talking, Chen Jiang came over with five Dunjun family members, and Liu Yan asked Chen Xun and Wang Yue to go about their business.
"I've seen Captain A."
Liu Yan nodded, looked at the crowd, and saw that except for Chen Jiang, the five people were all family members of the Dunjun army assigned to Chen Xun, and one person was the family member of a Dunjun army under Liu Yan.
"Don't worry, Commander A. These are all people I have a good relationship with on weekdays, and they are all reliable."
Liu Yan nodded in approval, then unlocked and pushed open the door of the workshop, and then asked everyone to follow him into the house.
"Look, this is soap."
"Ah, is this soap? It's square and has some fragrance."
"I heard from my family that this is Zhang Jia's unique secret recipe. It is much better than saponin and is very valuable!"
Chen Jiangshi and several family members were discussing in low voices. Liu Yan could tell that several of them were very excited. They all praised the effectiveness of the soap and complimented him in different ways.
Liu Yan smiled and said: "From today on, the Chen family's siblings will be temporarily in charge of this soap workshop. I will divide the work for you soon and tell you the specific production methods."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. It was a great blessing that Liu Yan could hand over the soap making process to himself. Especially for Chen Jiangshi, he was responsible for such an important matter as the soap workshop. Chen Jiangshi's eyes suddenly turned red. This new appointment made Chen Jiangshi immediately devoted to Liu Yan.
"I have opened up the market for this soap. If you make money in the future, you will all be able to receive wages. I can guarantee that with the soap business, you will not only live a better life than other Dunjuns, but even live a better life than those in Wangjiazhuang. Most of the gentry are even better! But..."
Just when a few people were happy, Liu Yan changed the topic, and the smile on his face dropped, and said: "But you must remember one thing, this soap is my unique skill, Liu Yan, and I told you the production process today. I'm asking you to come here and help. If anyone dares to do some cheating things, or wants to secretly learn skills and go out to work alone, don't blame me for not making it clear in advance. I will turn against you when the time comes. No matter it is Who, I guarantee that she will completely disappear from this world quietly within three days!"
The Chen Jiang family members looked at Liu Yan with a straight face, and a chill suddenly came out of their hearts. They were so happy just now that they almost forgot that Liu Yan was the commander of this large dungeon, and controlled the control of everyone in the dungeon. The power of life and death.
Does Liu Dayu have any background? Still, there was no trouble. The Chen Jiang family members present believed that they did not have Liu Dayu's ability and background, so naturally they did not dare to become suspicious.
So the Chen Jiang family members all saluted to show their loyalty and made vows for a while. Liu Yancai nodded with satisfaction, and the smile returned to his face.
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about the ugly things, let's talk about the serious stuff now."
Liu Yan first called the four Dunjun soldiers under Chen Xun and asked them to guard the door. No one was allowed to approach the room. Even the four Dunjun soldiers at the door had to stand five steps away on guard and not get too close.
Then Liu Yancai brought Chen Jiang and others to the soap blanks. He first introduced everyone to the materials needed to make soap, as well as some of the utensils needed in the process.
"The materials needed to make soap are mainly plant ash and soybean oil. In addition, you also need some rosin. You don't need to worry about the soybean oil. I will go to Wangjiazhuang during this period and find an oil mill to supply it on a regular basis. From now on, someone will deliver it every month. The same goes for rosin. I will send someone to purchase it every month. What you need to be responsible for are two things, one is the burning of plant ash, and the other is the specific production process. "
After speaking, Liu Yan designated a group of three family members and said, "You are specifically responsible for collecting plant ashes. After the plant ashes are fired, they must be sieved with a basket. They must be fine and must not contain any impurities."
"Don't worry, Commander A, I will do my best."
"Yes, yes, we will do a good job."
Then Liu Yan pointed to a family member and said: "You are responsible for boiling the alkaline water..."
Liu Yan gave the family member details on the precautions for boiling alkaline water. However, Liu Yan did not tell everyone about adding soybean oil to mix and boil. This was a key step in making soap. Liu Yan decided to do it himself. If you do it yourself, you can't tell the specific ratio of 30 to 7. It's better to keep everything a secret.
Liu Yan considered that in the future, when the soap workshop grows bigger and he has cultivated some truly reliable confidants, it will not be too late to hand over these matters.
Then he said to the last family member: "You will be responsible for the drying, cutting and packaging of the soap blanks. It should be noted that after the soap is made, it is still just a blank. It needs to be left to dry in the shade for a month until all the water evaporates. Only then can we carry out cutting and packaging.”
"Brothers and sisters of the Chen family, in addition to being the boss, you must also be responsible for these things together with her."
Chen Jiangshi said: "Don't worry, Mr. A will grow up. We will do our best and we will never let Mr. A down."
"That's good."
Liu Yan then gave everyone detailed instructions from the beginning, and finally decided for everyone to go to the soap workshop at three quarters in the morning (around eight o'clock in the morning) and finish work at the end of the afternoon (around five o'clock in the afternoon).
"I will calculate your wages based on the monthly soap production and quality. As long as you work hard, I will never treat you badly."
As Liu Yan spoke, he felt that he was like a future company leader, drawing a pie for his employees, which was really funny.
Finally, Liu Yan asked the others to go back first and come to work on time tomorrow morning, but left Chen Jiang alone and said: "The Chen family brothers and sisters come over earlier every morning. They asked me to get the key and come to open the door. After finishing work in the afternoon, they will lock the door." OK, give me the key again, do you understand?"
Chen Jiangshi heard this and said hurriedly: "The key should be kept by the chief himself. The chief of labor comes to open and lock the door every day, so I don't dare to handle it."
Liu Yan was very satisfied when he heard this. At least Chen Jiang was a person who knew how to measure things and was not carried away by his status as a workshop leader.
"Brothers and sisters of the Chen family, don't think too much. I can trust you. Anyone else would naturally not be so reassured."
Chen Jiang was immediately excited when he heard this and said: "Okay! Since the commander has said it, I will do my best to handle it. I will definitely not let down the trust of the commander."
After handling the matters at the soap workshop, Liu Yan called Chen Xun back to the house and said: "The soap workshop ships out goods at the end of every month. At that time, you and your Dunjun will go to Wang's house once a month. The store will deliver the goods and deliver the soap for that month directly to the Hundred Household Office."
"Captain A, don't worry."
"Well. You have to remember that money and goods must be paid every month. I will discuss this matter with the supervisor in advance. You must also remember when delivering the goods. If you don't see the money, even if you are in charge The captain of the team came forward and wanted to bring me back the soap of the month."
When Chen Xun heard this, he smiled and said: "I remember, no goods will be given without money. It's not wrong."
After everything was arranged, Liu Yan thought that after this batch of soap was finally formed, he would have to go to the Baihu Government Office again, and at the same time find a reliable oil shop to supply the goods.
Just when Liu Yan was thinking about this, Wang Yue came to report with a strange look: "Chief A, Liu Dayu is leaving."
