Korea, Tamluo, Zhoucheng, Nanshan Township.
Therefore, Lu Wenming, who had figured this out, immediately asked someone to go to the infantry yamen to intercede, hoping to get his wanton bastard back from the reserve army, and then give him a hearty meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots. Let him know that there is still an old father in the family! However, the outcome of the matter was beyond this man's expectation. Not only did his son fail to be rescued from the reserve army, but the person who came to intercede with him was scolded back by General Fan Jing and Fan Qian, the commander of the infantry yamen. !
Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. You, Lu Wenming, are not the only ones in Chiyang who have sons. Others also have sons, husbands, and family members who serve in the army. How can I give him to you just because you are ignorant and unfit to join the army? Send it back! You must know that Chiyang's military regulations clearly stipulate that no one may prevent his or her immediate relatives from joining the army for any reason. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished with a fifty-fifty rod and be fined in a mine for one year. If those who join the army regret it halfway, If you no longer want to be a soldier, the punishment will be more severe. You can choose between ropes, steel knives, or lead bullets! 33
The key is that Lu Wenming himself doesn't want to be beaten, nor does he want to go to the mines to dig coal. At the same time, he doesn't want his heir to be hung on a wooden frame by the sergeants, or taken to the countryside for target practice! Therefore, Mr. Lu, who was very aware of current affairs, went to Nanshan Township with thirty guan borrowed from Tamluo Bank to open his first building materials workshop in his life. As for the troublemaking bastard, he was not going to be a battlefield. Qiu Ba's big-headed soldier? Then let him go. This bastard suffered a loss outside and was beaten. He will naturally come back to inherit the family business and become a wealthy workshop owner! Of course, Mr. Lu is a duplicitous master. In order for his son to have an easier life in the army and be transferred to the regular flag army as soon as possible, this guy asked someone to send this little brat two copper coins so that he could train in the army. In addition, I invite my superiors and colleagues to have a few drinks to get closer to each other for a while and clear unnecessary obstacles for future promotions!
As for himself, he took his family and thirty yellow copper coins to the new settlement of Nanshan Township, which was still in a state of desolation and was under construction, and began to overcome all obstacles and rebuild the family business! In order to save the little capital they had during the start-up stage, apart from the cave dwellings for firing bricks and tiles that were built by specialized craftsmen, Mr. Lu Wenming and Mr. Lu did everything else with their entire family, doing it themselves! He and the eldest son of the family are responsible for heavy physical work such as chopping firewood, transporting materials, and carrying finished products, while his wife and daughter are responsible for making bricks and tiles, and boiling water for cooking!
For more than a month, the family worked hard from dawn to dusk, and finally got their first income after more than a month! Immediately afterwards, the second and third incomes came into the bag continuously! So far, the hard-working Mr. Lu and his family have not only paid off half of the debt, but also have a surplus of five copper coins! Most people may be very satisfied to earn so much money in such a short period of time. The next step is to buy land, build a house, take in a few concubines, and then close the door and enjoy life! But who is Lu Wenming? This guy can start a business with nothing but a pair of hands in another world and create a huge family business. How can he be deceived by the petty profit in front of him?
Not only did this guy not let the small achievements in front of him dampen his fighting spirit, he was able to enjoy the results from now on! On the contrary, after attending a private school for several years and working in the business world for half his life, after returning part of his capital, he used his building materials workshop as a guarantee and applied for another loan from Tamna Bank. To expand production! In order to improve production efficiency and thereby increase the output of building materials, this man not only recruited four aboriginal men and four aboriginal women to serve as workshop workers, but also spent a huge sum of money to purchase a hydraulic mill from the state government workshop. Grind clay for brick making!
With the help of this big guy, the clay crushing and grinding process, which originally took a lot of effort and time, can be greatly simplified. At the same time, more manpower can be freed up to make bricks and dry them, thereby increasing the number of bricks on a large scale. The output of bricks and tiles, and the existence of this big guy can also introduce cement production technology to Lujia Workshop in the future, providing tools for crushing and grinding limestone and clay when producing cement! Therefore, it is the right time for Mr. Lu Wenming and Mr. Lu to buy a hydraulic mill! Because, in order to promote water-powered tools and animal-powered tools to improve the production efficiency of all walks of life, Zhouya Gongfang not only sells the machines at a 50% discount, but also enjoys installment payment! At this time, Mr. Lu had five copper coins in his hand, which was just enough to pay for the down payment of the hydraulic mill!
So, after holding a family meeting, the Lu Family Workshop spent a huge amount of money to place the water-powered mill next to a small river with a relatively abundant water volume! And today is a great day for the officials from the state government office to bring craftsmen to help the Lu family workshop assemble and test the hydraulic mill!
"The auspicious time has come, turn on the water and turn on the machine!"
Looking at the people watching the excitement on the inner and outer three floors, the workshop clerk looked up at the sky and realized that it was already late, so he immediately ordered the accompanying craftsmen to open the gate of the canal! The next moment, the icy-cold river water surged through the slope and onto the water wheel! Next, the water flow pushes the waterwheel paddles, transmitting a steady stream of power to the water turbine through the rotating shaft, which begins to cause the wooden mortar vertebrae to continuously hit the mortar body to work! One, two, three times, the large pieces of clay placed at the bottom of the wooden mortar were quickly beaten into a ball by the heavy mortar vertebrae. Then, with quick eyes and quick hands, the workers moved the old wooden mortar and pushed a new one into a ball. The wooden mortar was rotated under the mortar vertebrae, allowing the mortar vertebrae to continue working! This process is like a western cowboy constantly turning the wheel of his revolver to load bullets! So, soon, with noisy sounds, the Lu family's hydraulic mill began to produce qualified mud all the time! The kind of qualified clay that a master craftsman in a workshop can make into bricks!
"What a great achievement! With the help of such gods in the future, our Lujia Workshop will not be able to overpower other colleagues and become a building materials giant in one state and two counties in Tamluo! Mr. Luo, thank you so much today !”
Looking at the water wheel pushing the mortar vertebrae to continuously hit the mortar body, continuously producing the clay required for production, Lu Wenming's figure has regained a bit of roundness. Mr. Lu immediately stood next to the young official named Luo who kept bowing and bowing. At the same time, the money bag in his sleeve slipped silently into the sleeve pocket of the young official named Luo through the handover action of pulling and loosening!
"Mr. Lu, you are very polite. These are what young people should do. If there is any problem with the machine in the future, Master Lu can send his servants to come to us to repair it..."
After weighing the weight of the money bag, the smile on Luo's face became even brighter! As the official in charge of this matter, he and his craftsmen will receive a corresponding subsidy from the above for every piece of hydraulic machinery installed. The money Mr. Lu Wenming and Lu presented at this moment is obviously his extra income. This How could he, a small official in a workshop, not be inexplicably excited about it! You know, in the yamen, his monthly salary is only two taels of silver. Now he can get half a month's salary for one business trip! No wonder everyone is rushing to go out on business. It turns out the root cause is here! Thinking of this, the clerk's originally arrogant tone softened, and he even expressed his thanks profusely, and asked Lu Wenming to send someone to them to repair it if his machine broke down! That expression is as respectful as you want, and as flattering as you want!
"In that case, thank you Lord Luo for your support!"
On this side, the satisfied young official named Luo and his entourage were sent away. Over there, Lu Wenming invited the chief, household head, elders and other big shots in Nanshan Township to come over and cut the ribbon for the opening of his workshop! As the saying goes, "County officials are not as good as current officials." Although Li Zheng, household heads, and elders are just unqualified township officials, it is much more useful to have a good relationship with them than to go to the county government or even the state government to look for backers randomly! After all, the future development of the workshop will still need their care. If they really annoy them, they can make their own workshop miserable in a matter of minutes! After figuring this out, Lu Wenming not only treated them to a sumptuous meal, but also gave them two taels of silver as a tribute afterwards! In return, the village chief, who was a big boss, not only wrote "Model of the Township" in big characters on this guy with a splash of ink, asking him to take it home as a treasure of the town, he also made an exception and allocated two strong people. Show the door to his workshop! No one else has this kind of treatment!
In Nanshan Township, there are quite a number of newly emerged small workshop owners like Lu Wenming! They borrowed start-up funds from Tamna Bank, and then set out as a family to open their own private workshop. After getting the first pot of gold, they recruited more workers and purchased more advanced machines to increase the workshop's production capacity. In the end, these People with smart ideas can be one step ahead of others, complete the primitive accumulation of capital, and become rich people that everyone envies!
And the next step to becoming a rich man is to become a powerful man! After Chiyang completely occupied Jeju Island, in order to supervise the township officials with real power, such as Li Zheng, household heads, elders, etc., he set up a consultation office in the administrative unit at the township level, which was composed of thirteen people who were highly respected or had outstanding abilities. Composed of senior citizens, retired soldiers, shop owners, and small landowners, they can oppose the wrong decisions of township officials in the process of participating in politics! Therefore, the status of a councilor has become a symbol of glory!
The next goal of Mr. Lu Wenming and Mr. Lu is to win a council member of the Nanshan Township Council Dangdang! Currently, the Thirteen-person Council already has nine members, and Mr. Lu Wenming and Lu are now preparing to hit the tenth spot! Once he is appointed as a council member, the Lu Family Building Materials Workshop will surely become more prosperous! But becoming a councilor is not an easy thing. Mr. Lu, who is highly respected and respected, doesn't want to think about it. Only with this outstanding ability can he make a fuss!
Some people died, but not completely...
