Blacksmith shops are ready-made. There are a large number of blacksmith shops in Chang'an. The scales of these blacksmith shops are different. Some smaller ones may only have one master and a few apprentices, while the larger ones may have hundreds of apprentices. These apprentices are called apprentices. , but most of them actually do hard work, that is, swinging sledgehammers, the eighty-eighty-year-old type, used to forge iron blocks, or to refine steel through the steel frying method.
These blacksmith shops are responsible for all aspects of things, such as making kitchen knives, iron pots, swords, etc. If it is a special period, some blacksmith shops will also receive the task of forging armor pieces, but making armor is not the responsibility of the blacksmith shop. , they just need to forge armor plates.
Ordinary blacksmith shops are more often facing the common people.
So after Li Ke made the arrangements, he immediately let them open for business, and then the next day Li Ke asked the local snakes controlled by the government soldiers all over Chang'an City to start spreading the news to Chang'an City.
In an instant, this blacksmith shop called Zheng Ji Blacksmith Shop became popular!
In the past, the monthly salary of a blacksmith apprentice's hard work was only 120 Wen, which was probably a little better than that of a brick factory, because the coolies in the blacksmith shop were real coolies, and ordinary young people could not do it.
But now, Zheng Ji Blacksmith Shop has directly increased this salary to 5 times, which is 600 yuan a month! Not only food and accommodation are provided, but also clothes! It doesn’t matter where you live, but it doesn’t matter how much you eat, and the food you eat actually includes meat! ! One day off every five days! What kind of fairy workshop is this?
Moreover, this Zhengji Blacksmith Shop is the blacksmith shop owned by the Zheng family of Xingyang who killed 127 people last time! It looks like they have really changed it! His Highness the King of Shu is awesome! If it weren't for His Highness the King of Shu, how could these people give us ordinary people such high salaries? !
How could they see us mud-legged people? ! If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Shu, we might still be doing the hard work as before, and then earning just enough money to survive!
This time I heard that after the Zheng family surrendered, they would increase the salaries of all their blacksmith shops, brick factories, and other trading companies to five times! And it also provides various benefits! Five days, one day off, clothes distributed, and meat to eat!
Zheng Ji Blacksmith's recruitment notice spread throughout Chang'an City in just one day!
Not only did Zheng Ji announce this notice to the outside world, but he also openly asked his husband to write it and then posted it at the door of the blacksmith shop. The shopkeeper, Zheng Ji, greets those who want to come to work at the door every day.
"That's right, although I am just a small branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, I still have to respond to the call of my master and benefit the people. If possible, we will gradually extend this salary to the whole country!"
"Thank you for your support. We have made mistakes before, but we will correct them. Please give us a chance!"
"Of course, I guarantee that these salaries will remain unchanged for at least three years!"
"I have seen everyone's enthusiasm, but my shop is small and we can only recruit 20 apprentice craftsmen. Don't worry, all our craftsmen are paid!"
"My store here is small, but you should have seen that recently our other brick factories are recruiting workers with triple the salary, and they will gradually increase their salary!"
Zheng Ji, yes, his name is Zheng Ji. His Highness's words are deeply remembered in Zheng Ji's mind. Unless he is dead, he is a member of the Zheng family. The Zheng family may not admit it, but I am!
Everyone knows that an apprentice craftsman is a coolie craftsman, it just sounds better.
"Shameless kid!" Zheng You yelled angrily in his house. His study was now in a mess! But Zheng You naturally didn't dare to yell outside, he could only rage in his own house.
Zheng You represents the Zheng family in Xingyang. It seems that the Zheng family in Xingyang gave Li Ke two million coins, but the deadly feud between the two parties has been forged. Everyone knows this. But on the surface, everyone still maintains a good situation.
Therefore, some of Changsun Wuji's strategies must be followed by the Xingyang Zheng clan, because they must support Changsun Wuji no matter what. This is the policy set by the clan elders! Now the Zheng family in Xingyang has fast horses traveling between Chang'an and Luoyang every day. Although the Zheng family's fast horses are not as good as the imperial court's 600 and 800-mile express, they can still arrive in two days.
Raising these horses and knights is not a big problem for the Zheng family in Xingyang.
Although the method this time could not defeat Li Ke, it was still a step to consume Li Ke's funds, and it was also a step to win over other powerful families. But what they never expected was that Li Ke actually used such a shameless move. !
The Zheng family really couldn’t refute the question! The main reason is that the upper-level channels are blocked by Li Ke. They cannot target Li Ke through the upper-level channels. If it is just a commercial method... they can only admit it if they are disgusted!
But the key point now is that if Zheng Ji Blacksmith Shop is released, employees of all Zheng's subordinate businesses and workshops will ask if they also need a salary increase.
This... they are in a dilemma. If the price rises, they will not lose anything. But if the price does not rise, they will soon fall into riots, and these craftsmen will definitely be dissatisfied, whether it is the construction period or other issues. causing confusion.
The problem is not just a matter for one blacksmith shop. Even if Zheng You keeps up the salary at the blacksmith shop, it will also affect the blacksmith shops of other aristocratic families, and the other parties will have no choice but to follow suit. And Zheng You has to run over and say good things, otherwise it will be bad for both parties to have a gap in their hearts.
Disgusting, so disgusting! Fortunately, although they were disgusted, Li Ke's situation has not changed. His situation is similar to theirs. Although Li Ke has reputation, reputation cannot be used as food. People still have to eat, so they must He would still choose their Zheng family to work.
To be honest, Zheng You is really in trouble. This time, there are only two brick factories and quarries around Chang'an, the Zheng family, and the others are from other wealthy families. Why does Li Ke have to keep an eye on them, the Zheng family?
Can't you change someone else?
What Li Ke is doing now is that if you, Mrs. Zheng, hit me, I, Li Ke, will beat you. If others hit me, I will also beat you, Mrs. Zheng.
Li Ke used this method of fighting in groups and looking at one person to death. He was so proficient in it that he really thought that his fight was in vain.
Not only was Zheng family disgusted, Changsun Wuji was also disgusted, because the Changsun family's main business was iron ore. It can be said that almost all of the iron ore industry in Datang was related to the Changsun family. Naturally, there were also blacksmith shops. It's just that the Changsun family supplies pig iron or iron ore to the blacksmith shops of families like the Zheng family.
That's right, many of the blacksmith shops in the Tang Dynasty also serve the function of making iron. There are no overly professional iron smelting factories in the Tang Dynasty. Even the official ones are all about iron smelting and manufacturing.
Not to mention steelmaking. Steelmaking in this era is all done by frying steel, which is not suitable for assembly line operations, so it is all done by these craftsmen alone.
If Li Ke does this, the eldest son's family will also have a monthly salary increase! Because if there is no increase, except for the non-registered craftsmen of their eldest grandson's family, who are basically the masters of various blacksmith shops, all the remaining coolie craftsmen will run away.
Very few of these coolie craftsmen come from non-registered households, and most of them are from the surrounding people. Because you can hire them with money, and it is of course more reliable to train non-household servants who belong to your own family to become master masters, because they cannot run away.
The problem is that there are no coolie craftsmen. What is the difference between their blacksmith shop and a closed shop? !
