Xiaoqing and Xiaohong were sent out, and they also had to supervise the work.
Li Zhao was extremely busy. There were so many people today, and many villagers' mothers-in-law would come out to help.
Harvesting grain has always been a major event, and sacrificial activities are held in some places.
Li Zhao omitted it completely. He didn't want to waste time. It was the safest way to put the food into his own pocket.
Construction workshop.
Carpenter Long looked extremely serious. Although they got money to show off, they still work here in a very low-key manner.
Today, the prince has given them work instructions, which is to build a good threshing machine.
"Everyone, cheer up. The prince has entrusted us with such an important task. We cannot let him down."
Carpenter Long has already taken the lead and started working.
"Boss, don't worry, we won't be lazy!"
"that is!"
"Come on, come on, move quickly!"
At first, they all did their own work, but at Li Zhao's request, each person only made part of the parts. In this way, the assembly line process was born.
This can speed up work efficiency. When a component is practiced and practiced, the speed will be faster, and subsequent assembly will be arranged by people who understand the drawings.
Li Zhao took over 37,625 acres of quarter-field land from the Du family, which was tantamount to killing the Du family.
In this era, Tian is life, how could the Du family not fight for Li Zhao?
Therefore, threshing machines must be fast and there must be many.
Otherwise, there is no way to harvest the grain from these more than 30,000 acres of land in a short time.
People in the construction workshop were very anxious. They knew that they would have to work overtime in the next few days to build what the prince needed.
Just as they were in full swing building the threshing machine, Li Zhao walked in.
Carpenter Long didn't even notice it. He didn't notice it until Li Zhao walked up to him.
"Your Majesty!" Carpenter Long was covered in sawdust. He didn't understand what Li Zhao was doing here at this time.
“How many can we make today?”
Carpenter Long carefully thought about it in his mind and said, "We should be able to make thirty!"
Because of the limitations of the small number of people, this is the limit of what they can do.
Li Zhao frowned and said, "Too few!"
Long Carpenter smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to make more, but there are only so many people now, and it can't be faster."
Just when Li Zhao and Long Carpenter were distressed, Wu Diao Si ran in quickly and said with joy on his face: "Your Highness, someone is here again."
"Are there people here?" Li Zhao looked at Wu Diao Temple in confusion, and the latter pointed outside and said, "They are all here to help cut the rice and the craftsmen."
Hearing this, Li Zhao was overjoyed and rushed out quickly.
There was a large group of people outside Prince You's Mansion. The leader looked at Li Zhao timidly and stepped forward in a timid manner. Just as he was about to speak, he didn't expect that Li Zhao came over more enthusiastically than them.
"Are you all here to help harvest the rice?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Come here to register. When you finish work today, remember to bring your registration card to collect your money!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Everyone just followed Li Zhao's instructions in a daze.
Li Zhao's eyes fell on the nearly a hundred men, and asked with fiery eyes: "Are you here to apply for a job?"
The age of these more than 100 people varies greatly, some have gray beards, and some are still very young.
Li Zhao is not afraid of spending money at all, but is afraid of not having enough skilled workers.
In this era, although everyone can endure hardships and stand hard work, doing technical work really requires talent, and it takes a long time to become a master.
They value talent and character, and they will never replace quality with inferior quality, and nothing like Mr. Nan Guo will happen.
"Dare I ask... is King You here?"
They didn't recognize King You either, they just knew that finding someone with the highest status would definitely work at a time like this.
Li Zhao was tanned and didn't look noble at all. It's no wonder these people didn't recognize him.
"I am!"
"Ah?" The old man didn't believe it, and looked at Li Zhao with the others.
They have met many noble and elderly people, all of them are very arrogant and noble. The man in front of them has a bright smile, and does not have the cold and arrogant attitude that would repel people thousands of miles away. It seems that he has nothing to do with the prince.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Li Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly shouted into the construction workshop: "Carpenter Long, come out!"
Long Carpenter, covered in sawdust all over his body, ran out quickly: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"
"Do you believe it now?" Li Zhao looked at the old man and others and said, "This is Carpenter Long from Longmen Village, and he is also the manager of the construction workshop. If you want to work here, go and register."
"Carpenter Long and I are both real people. If you have outstanding craftsmanship and ability, Carpenter Long will report it and let you lead the team alone. Whoever does better will get more rewards and wages. Just like him, now The steward who leads the team can earn twelve cents a day, while the others only have ten cents."
"Can you understand?"
The old man and others nodded. This is the same rule in this industry. Those who are capable will do different jobs, and the treatment will naturally be different.
"Then you go and register!" Li Zhao said with a smile, feeling very good. He looked at Carpenter Long and said, "If they all join, can we make some today?"
"Yes!" Carpenter Long was even more excited than Li Zhao.
"Good job!"
"Yes!" Long Carpenter was full of energy. He watched Li Zhao leave, then turned to the old man and others and said, "Come on, come on, come in with me."
…
early morning.
The dew was heavy.
But today's Longyang Township is particularly different. On the field ridges, there are green grass and patches of wild flowers. On the fields and ridges, patches of golden yellow are seen. The breeze blows like waves surging.
There were already people standing around the field ridge, and even the children ran out.
After all, Li Zhong couldn't rest, even though he was still injured.
"where is the guy?"
"I'm coming!"
Li Zhong pointed to the rice in the field and said, "Don't waste it, pick it up. Do you know?"
"yes!"
"Where's the bullock cart? Isn't it here yet?" Li Zhong asked again.
He was heartbroken.
"It still needs a little time."
"What do you do for food?" Li Zhong scolded: "Didn't the construction workshop make preparations in advance?"
The servant was about to cry when he was scolded: "Uncle Zhong, don't you know? Now the long carpenters in the construction workshop are going crazy, and their carpenters can't be busy at all."
“What about the borrowed bullock cart?”
"still on the way!"
Li Zhong sighed. Even though he had prepared well before, it was still not enough when it came time to use it.
Just like now, all threshing machines need to be transported out one by one, and then the rice can be harvested in the field while separating the rice and rice ears.
"I'm coming!"
Thirty thousand acres of farmland is really no joke. This is simply not enough for an oxcart.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Li Zhong urged anxiously.
Many people know that the prince has created a new tool, and the people below cannot keep the secret.
This morning, everyone knew the new term "threshing machine", but no one believed it was an artifact. Many people were waiting to see the prince's joke.
Li Zhong is the old butler of the palace. He cares about the face of the palace. Even if the thing the prince builds is a piece of shit, he still has to treat it well and show it off.
