Chapter 72 Bringing Craftsmen to Transportation Issues

Gu Yanwu then said: "Hengbo, you explained it very well, I understand it all!"

Bo Jue also said: "Xiao Gu really explained it thoroughly and vividly. I have learned a lesson!"

"Praising me like that makes me proud!" Gu Heng couldn't help but joke.

"You have the ability to be proud, that's okay!" Gu Yanwu said with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Gu, what did you ask Brother Bo for before?" Gu Heng asked, remembering that Gu Yanwu came to see Bo Jue in the first place.

"It's nothing serious. I just asked Brother Zijue to help me sort out the goods I will take when I go south, and arrange for some craftsmen to be brought with me. Is everything ready?" Gu Yanwu said.

"It's necessary to bring goods. I'm just bringing craftsmen. What kind of craftsmen do you want to bring?" Gu Heng couldn't help but ask.

"There are a lot of them. You see, for products like cotton cloth and "Ruyi scarves" and "Ruyi pants", I have to bring a few skilled weavers. As for needlework women, I can just recruit them locally." Gu Yanwu said.

"Can't this be solved at the "Daotian" textile workshop?" Gu Hengdao.

"But things like spinning machines and looms, if you can bring a few craftsmen with you, on the one hand, if there are any problems on the road, they can be repaired anytime and anywhere."

"On the other hand, a batch of new spinning machines and looms can be temporarily manufactured at the business point. These spinning machines and looms can be used by oneself or sold to other local cotton merchants."

After listening to Gu Yanwu's words, Gu Heng couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

But then Gu Heng thought of something else and said: "You can bring craftsmen to spinning machines and looms, but you can't bring craftsmen to perfume and glass products!"

"Why?" Gu Yanwu didn't understand.

"Because it's useless if you bring the craftsmen who are responsible for making perfume and glass products. Each of these craftsmen only knows one process of their own, and they don't know the processes that are not their own. And Xiao Gu requires that all craftsmen cannot go there privately.

Learn other processes from other craftsmen." Bo Jue explained at the side.

"What if we bring one craftsman for each process?" Gu Yanwu asked again.

"It still doesn't work! Because the tools needed to make glass are all made by me according to Xiao Gu's design and the actual situation. No craftsman knows how to make these tools. If you want to make glass at a business location elsewhere, just

Do you have to take me there?" Bo Jue asked.

"But glass is fragile! Like smaller glass products, although I repeatedly told the people carrying them to handle them with care during the transportation process, they should not be thrown or beaten."

"Each small glass product is also packed in a wooden box, with a layer of cotton batting or cotton cloth on the bottom layer, and then the glass product is placed. If the glass product is easy to open, some light cotton batting or cotton cloth is also placed inside the glass product.

Light and solid. But..."

Gu Yanwu paused here and said regretfully: "But when the journey is a little further, there are still many small glass products that will be broken."

After listening to Gu Yanwu's words, Gu Heng couldn't help but wish that we could have thick cardboard and thick cartons here now! But considering the current situation, it seems that we can't produce cartons yet, so let's talk about it later!

But Gu Heng still suggested: "When using wooden boxes as outer packaging, the glass products should be wrapped in paper inside, and then a layer of cotton batting or crumpled old newspapers or cotton cloth should be placed on the bottom layer of the glass products."

"If the product is easy to open, be sure to put some cotton wool or newspapers inside and stuff it lightly. If there are multiple pieces, separate them with thick cotton cloth and try to tie them tightly with long cotton strips.

In the middle of the box, stuff the surrounding area with cotton wool, and then cover the upper layer with thick cotton cloth. After arriving at the destination for inspection, cover the lid, and then wrap it fully with long cotton strips. This should greatly reduce the occurrence of broken glass products.

.”

"What about the large glass products?" Gu Yanwu asked.

"If it is a large glass product, taking glass windows as an example, whether it is a small amount of transportation or a large amount of transportation, we must pay attention to the following points: First, we must cultivate a group of professional, careful and thoughtful people to be responsible for transporting glass.

This can ensure the safety of glass transportation to the greatest extent.”

"Second, before shipping, you must first ensure that multiple pieces of shaped glass are close together without leaving any gaps. You can consider wrapping them with thick quilts or other things similar to thick quilts, especially to prevent them from being transported during transportation.

wear and tear.”

"Thirdly, due to the size of some shaped glass, it needs to be fixed with a custom frame before transportation."

"But even after doing this, after being transported to the carriage, these glass windows are still easily broken due to uneven roads and stumbling on the road." Gu Yanwu pointed out practical problems that have not yet been solved.

"When you get on the carriage, in addition to the shaped glass fixed by the metal frame, you also need to use a special iron frame to transport it to the carriage, and you also need to use ropes to reinforce the outer layer."

After Gu Heng finished speaking, he drew a special iron bracket with a brush and showed it to Gu Yanwu. After Gu Yanwu understood it, he said that he would ask a blacksmith to make it when the time came.

"Finally, whether it is short-distance transportation or long-distance transportation, because the glass transported on the carriage is a piece of glass and is fragile, the driver must pay attention to it." Gu Heng then warned.

"Okay, I know how to do it. It's just that the glass transportation problem has been solved, but what about the perfume? It's also because many utensils are made by Bo Jue, so there's no point in bringing craftsmen there?" Gu Yanwu said.

"That's basically the case, but there is still a way for you to produce the same perfume as here in our Industrial Villa in various business locations." Gu Hengdao.

"Oh? How to do it? Tell me quickly, this can save a lot of costs." Gu Yanwu said excitedly after hearing this.

"Okay, let's just say, first of all, bring a large amount of essential oils to Brother Bo in the Industrial Villa. We also need to bring craftsmen who can use essential oils to make perfume."

"Then, after arriving at the business point, ask the craftsmen to pour the wine specially used for making perfume into the empty bottle, add an appropriate amount of essential oil, and stir evenly. Then add some distilled water, continue to stir evenly, and pour into the prepared perfume bottle

, it’s ready.”

Gu Heng thought for a while and then explained: "As for the wine specially used for making perfume, you can ask the craftsmen from the Bojue sect who specialize in preparing this kind of wine to get it as you go."

"In the end, you use our specific perfume bottles and perfume wooden boxes to package the perfume and sell it! For the perfume bottles and perfume wooden boxes, you can just bring the packaging patterns and samples and let the local porcelain workshops and carpenters make them.
