Chapter 409: Copy Artisan
Officials were on holiday, students were on holiday, and even Li Shimin was on holiday, but Li Mu, or the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs, showed no sign of holiday.
The orders that should be completed can be stopped after holidays? There is no such rule. None of the workshops in all large and small near Chang'an City has been suspended. Because you suspend work, it means that the order will be taken away by others. Perhaps it is because of missing this order, which annoyed the customer and you will not have your share next time. The most terrible thing is not your own laziness, but the diligence of your opponent. As long as you are interested in doing business, no one dares to slack off.
Seeing that the affairs of the Interior Affairs Office were on track, Li Mu was also much more relaxed. He gradually consciously handed over the matter to Wei Yingluo to handle. From small things to big things, Li Mu taught her subtly how to do and how to deal with it. Facts proved that Li Mu's vision was not wrong. Wei Yingluo had a very strong learning ability. It turned out that Li Mu had to ask about everything personally, and now Wei Yingluo can handle half of it.
Li Mu also had more time to do other things. He was a person who couldn't rest, and there was one thing that was urgent.
Li Ying had already come to urge the bearing order many times, and according to the terms of the contract, he could no longer delay it. Just as Laba was on vacation, Li Mu took this opportunity to find a group of craftsmen he had observed long ago, gathered in the conference room of the Ministry of Works and closed the door.
Although the craftsmen have seen Li Mu many times, it is the first time they are in the same room. They are both grateful and afraid of Li Mu. Seeing that Li Mu is very serious, they dare not speak out even more.
"Do you all know, I'm asking you here today, what's wrong?"
The craftsmen looked at each other and shook their heads in a daze. The foreman who called them over just said that the Marquis summoned him and said nothing else. In fact, they didn't know that Li Mu's decision had not been discussed with anyone.
"Very good." Li Mu nodded with satisfaction when he saw the craftsmen's reaction. It seemed that the people under his command were still very abide by the rules and did not disappoint him.
"You are all the first craftsmen who followed me after I came to the Ministry of Works. Before I could gain power, you chose to believe me, and I did not treat you badly. You brought you houses and promoted you to become technicians. Now you can not only make a living, but also have some savings - I am right?"
The craftsmen answered in unison, and a technician whose seat was closest to Li Mu stood up excitedly and said, "The Marquis' kindness to us can't be repaid even in life. Before the Marquis came to the Ministry of Works, who would look down on us? Not to mention wages, work for others, and be scolded and beaten. Everything we have now is given by the Marquis, who dares to forget it?"
Li Mu raised his hand and pressed him down, signaled him to sit down, glanced at everyone, and said, "You think so too?"
"The marquis' kindness is unforgettable. Whoever is willing to be ruthless to the marquis will not die well!" The craftsmen swear, and Li Mu laughed and said, "You guys don't have to be so nervous, and you don't have to think too much - I'll come to you today, there are benefits for you. But is this benefit there are conditions, so some things have to be said before."
Everyone shouted excitedly: "The Marquis told me, we will do whatever we ask us to do. Our lives are all from the Marquis!"
"It's not that serious, either." Li Mu picked up a contract in front of him and showed it to everyone, saying, "Am anyone among you who are literate? Raise your hand and show it."
Most of the people who can work as craftsmen in this era are from poor backgrounds, and nine out of ten do not recognize words. Everyone looked at me, and I saw you. Finally, an old craftsman sitting in the corner raised his hand tremblingly. Li Mu signaled him to get up and asked, "Do you recognize words?"
"If you come back to the Marquis, the villain's grandfather has studied before, but when he reaches the villain's father's generation, the family will not work. The villain has studied with his grandfather for a few years, and it's okay to recognize words."
"Just recognize words." Li Mu handed the contract to Wei Yingluo next to him. Wei Yingluo walked over and handed the contract to the old craftsman.
"Please read it."
"Hey," the old craftsman responded, picked up the contract and looked closer and carefully. Fortunately, he really recognized most of the words, so he started to pronounce them from scratch.
This is a "Conflict of Conflict", which is not long and has a straightforward meaning. The craftsmen understand it as soon as they hear it. The rough meaning is that the Marquis will teach them a technique of making rollers, but they must keep it confidential. They cannot tell anyone about the tricks, nor can they mention them to anyone, even their own sons. If the secret is leaked, the confidentiality contract of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be violated. Once they violate it, they will implicate the three tribes and the whole family will die.
The five words "The whole family is dead" are written brightly on the contract. The old craftsmen also read this way, which is much more direct than the literary wording and sentence making. No matter how low the craftsmen have a lower level of cultural level, they know the meaning of these five words.
As Li Mu thought, someone showed a look of fear. Li Mu took the conversation and smiled and said, "It's not that you force everyone. Those who don't want to participate can withdraw now. I will never take revenge. What you did, what you will do in the future. How much wages you made, how much wages you made in the future, just pretend that this has not happened. But if you press your handprints, if you violate the contents of the contract in the future, don't blame me for being rude. You also know the reputation of Li Mu. When you annoy me, unless you are Your Majesty, otherwise... Humph."
When the craftsmen heard the "humph", they subconsciously trembled. They did not doubt what Li Mu said at all, and they immediately hesitated. Li Mu did not urge him, but just signaled Wei Yingluo to distribute the contract, press those who were willing to press the handprints, and leave if they were unwilling to press the handprints, all based on their own voluntary.
The craftsman who had just spoken received the contract and pressed his handprints directly without any drag. Seeing that the others were hesitating, he said, "When the Marquis did not come to the Ministry of Works, I lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. My son could only continue to live a life worse than pigs and dogs like me. All generations of life are all this fate. It was the Marquis who gave me a house and made me earn money. I didn't recognize words and didn't understand anything else. I only knew that without the Marquis, I would not be as good as me. My life was sold to him, and I would do whatever he asked me to do!"
These words really worked. The hesitant people no longer hesitated and pressed their handprints one after another, and no one left.
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and Wei Yingluo put away the contract.
"I will use facts to prove that everyone's choice is correct. However, at this moment, I will repeat it again. It's still too late to regret it now. When I teach you how to make bearings, it's too late to regret it. I don't mean to joke with you. If anyone leaks the secret, I will notice it. You, your wife, your children, your father-in-law, mother-in-law, nephew, nephew, your whole family, as long as you have something to do with you, will die. I will ask the Jinyiwei to dig a big hole and bury your whole family. Don't blame me for being ruthless at that time."
Now that things have come to this point, who can still retreat? The craftsmen shouted loudly: "Listen to the orders of the marquis, I will never regret it!"
"Okay!" Li Mu signaled Wei Yingluo to go out. After watching her close the door, he took out a stack of "secret books" from his arms and personally sent them to the craftsmen one by one. He told the craftsmen not to move, and he would pick them up together after he finished sending them.
"Now everyone can pick it up and read it. This is the secret technique for making bearings."
The craftsmen picked up the "secret book" as they said, and felt a blur before their eyes, which was a bit like they were drunk and drunk. They were confused for a moment, and when they woke up again, something became more in their minds.
At this time, Li Mu's voice came to his ears: "...This is the technology of making bearings. Do everyone understand?"
The craftsmen looked at Li Mu blankly and were about to ask, but suddenly they found that there was nothing to ask. The bearing production technology was already in their heads. There were a total of several steps and what should be paid attention to in each step, as if it was engraved in the head, just like eating and sleeping, and no one had to teach them to do things at all.
What happened, when did you learn it?
The craftsmen subconsciously became such a trance, but then a voice came out in their hearts: I was taught by the Marquis just now!
Oh, yes, it was taught by the Marquis.
The craftsmen responded loudly: "Marty, I understand everything."
"Very good! So before the New Year, I will try to make a batch of bearings first, and after the New Year, I will plan a new factory. Everyone's wages will rise to 500 cents a day, and as the profits increase, there will be more benefits. In short, I will not treat everyone badly."
The original wages of these craftsmen were 300 cents, and they increased by 200 cents at once, almost doubled. Who would be unhappy? They grinned. After thanking each other, they left the conference room one by one.
Li Mu let out a long sigh, called Wei Yingluo in, and said, "Let the next group come in."
Wei Yingluo nodded and went out to call the next group of craftsmen in.
...
After working hard for a day, Li Mu used all the "secret books" made by using the [Secret] skill. He also copied more than 100 craftsmen who could make system creations. These craftsmen became the main force of the factory after the New Year. Although they still could not be completely confidential, Li Mu had planned the next step. When a few leaks in the early stage, they would warn a hundred people when necessary. When leaking secrets in the middle stage, the factory won by volume. When the leaks in the later stage cannot be controlled, he will directly upgrade his technology. All of these craftsmen are primary skills. When the next batch, he will copy intermediate skills and continue to maintain the leading technology.
