Chapter 45 Piece-Based Charges
"I don't understand." Li Shi was very honest.
"Then why don't you continue to ask?" Qu Xin asked again.
Li Shi whispered: "I opened my mouth and asked, because I was worried that I was fooled by Liu Yaren, so I became a foolish master. As a result, we spent money to become a disciple. Now that I know that the master has something in my stomach, I should treat him with an attitude towards his teacher. In the future, we have more opportunities to ask, why should Liu Yaren take advantage of it?"
Qu Xin looked back at Lu Yun and found Lu Yun's obedience. He nodded: "The Master said, 'Know it's true, but not why it'. Always, the master only told his disciples how to do it, but did not tell them why it did it. Now this master not only 'knows the truth', but also 'knows why it'. What's even better is that he is willing to tell his disciples clearly... Now that we have not yet become a disciple, he has explained so much in detail, and the money to become a disciple is worth it."
After a moment of pause, Qu Xin sighed again: "The Master said, 'If three people walk, there must be my teacher'. I usually claim to be a good student of poetry and books. I haven't figured out this truth yet, but you two have figured it out. It seems that among the three of us, I should learn the most."
When Liu Yaren saw the three apprentices, he showed an attitude of driving him away. Shi Chuan on the opposite side seemed to have any kind of apprentices. As long as he could work, he didn't care about his apprentices' IQ... He quickly bowed: "Dalang, even if this matter is done, I will do other things for you. I will say goodbye first."
As soon as Liu Yaren left, Lu Qu and Li and the other three knelt on the ground and kowtowed, solemnly passing the ceremony of apprenticeship. When faced with it, Chuan seemed to not know the meaning of these etiquettes. He frowned and impatiently urged the three of them to get up quickly, and then opened his mouth to ask about the specifications and sizes of contemporary bricks and stones.
After asking the specifications of the bricks and stones, Shi Chuan put a row of formulas on the ground, gave a rough quantity casually, and then told the three of them to go to purchase.
Qu Xin looked at the formula of Shi Chuan and found that there were many symbols that he didn't understand. He raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask in his heart like a cat claw, but Shi Chuan didn't give him a chance: "Since you two brothers have porcelain kilns and blacksmith shops, I'll just entrust you two to supervise this matter. I'll draw two patterns and ask your two kiln factories and blacksmith shops to help make the kiln factories and blacksmith shops in your homes.
If your brothers are willing to sell these things to the outside according to the drawings I have drawn in the future, and I will charge a design fee of 200 yuan for each item of goods produced. Of these 200 yuan, one hundred yuan will be left for you three brothers. If you set up a craftsman team in the future, this money will allow you to buy tools..."
Shi Chuan smiled proudly while giving instructions: Okay, I originally planned to buy out the design drawings to the two manufacturers, but you forced me to charge a patent fee according to the pieces. The one who supervises the piece count is your own brothers. I see how you hide it.
Hearing that there was such a benefit, the three of them quickly examined the drawings in their hands - they couldn't understand them.
"The Master said: Knowing it is to know it... Master, what is the drawing on this picture?"
"Qu Er, your house is a porcelain kiln, this one is a porcelain toilet. You are wondering about this 'U'-shaped tube, which is to block the odor. Some of the water used to flush the toilet is always left in this 'U'-shaped tank, and the residual water blocks the odor... How to install the tube, this is the ability to eat."
Li Shi took the drawings assigned to him and asked: "The drawings given to me by the master seem to be a small charcoal furnace?"
Shizhang pointed his hand at the girl who was doing needlework under the horse shed: "That's right, this is a small charcoal furnace, made of cast iron, and you can also use several iron rings to make parts and assemble them as a whole. There is only one large kitchen in our yard, and it is inconvenient for girls to burn some small stoves. This small charcoal furnace can be used as soon as it is placed under the corridor, and it can be used. It can be boiled some water or something at any time. Although this thing is small, it seems that it is indispensable for ordinary people and the technology is not complicated. I will call your brother back and I will tell him how to make it."
Seeing that the two were still in a daze, Lu Yun stepped forward and kicked them down: "Master is the ability to make a life for you. You two are not young anymore. The brother clearly wants to separate from you. Now there is a master who will lead your brother to the yamen to make a red contract. If you have this contract in your hand in the future, you are not afraid of not having the money to marry a wife."
Qu Xin and Li Shi suddenly realized it, thanked the master quickly, and took the drawings to run home.
The so-called red deed is a contract that is protected by law after being stamped with a large red seal of the government and pays a contract tax to the government.
Shi Chuan asked them to set up a "tap" of 200 yuan per product. Half of the fees were left to the three brothers. It seemed that they were collecting money from their brothers in their own name, and supported the two brothers in disguise to get married and start a business. The two brothers who originally didn't know how to ask for money from their brothers now have money to spend while sitting there, and they were eager to turn around and quickly negotiate the matter.
Shi Chuan finally explained: "You find a kind of graphite for me. It's black, like a stone. I want to use graphite powder as a pen..."
After a while of nagging, Shi Chuan showed his own knowledge. The third apprentice ran out of the yard excitedly. When he walked to the alley, Li Shi suddenly said: "How to install the toilet drawings in my second brother is a matter of quality. I looked at the drawings in my hand. It seems that they are burning a special charcoal. The master always keeps his hands on being a human being. Brothers, do you think we are rich, are we responsible for installing toilets or opening a place to make special charcoal for this special charcoal furnace?"
Qu Xin twisted a few sparse beards on his chin and replied in contemplatively: "I think the master is very handsome. He told us the ingredients of the plaster as soon as he met. Maybe the master didn't think about hiding these things at all, but this special thing might have special effects."
After saying that, Qu Xin asked the boss Lu Yun: "Brother, what do you say?"
Lu Yun walked down his head and then replied for a long time: "When he entered the door, the master was not picky about us at all. We have not yet become a disciple. What kind of master answered casually - In my opinion, these skills are nothing in the eyes of the master. Maybe the master didn't want to use these skills to make a living, so he didn't care.
Not to mention anything else, just the plaster recipe, why do you need to add various ingredients to it? The master said it very well. With this recipe alone, the houses built by our three brothers will not need to be laid or leaky in the future. I don’t know how much time it can be saved. With this ability, I think the Linhai area is afraid that the house we built will be used - every year during the typhoon season, I don’t know how many tiles will be destroyed and how much time will be spent to repair them afterwards. If there are ways to solve the problem of tiles once and for all, who in the world would not want to live in such a house?
Speaking of this, I would rather the master be a good person. Just now, after Liu Yaren heard the recipe, our business was booming. He wanted to leak the secret recipe to others casually. That was a bad thing."
When Qu Xin heard this, he turned around and scolded Li Shi: "It's all your fault. It's not good to kowtow and become a disciple. Liu Yaren is still present. You ask, you don't know the importance of it at all. What should I do now?"
