Chapter III Private Owners

What is the standard for a happy family? Or, what is the standard for a happy family in the Tang Dynasty?

The people who ask different questions have different answers. Since Wei Chi and Xie Jiu are now from the Tang Dynasty, that is, they are the ancients. It is not good to walk alone, and it is not in line with the doctrine of the mean of Chinese people. Although early birds eat insects, early insects are also eaten by birds.

Wei Chi and Xie Jiu, two time traveling young people with no foundation, are too outstanding. Those ancient wealthy families can easily kill you without even asking for excuses. You can't look down on the ancients just because they are time travelers. You must put your mindset and position them.

Early in the morning, the beautiful Xie Jiu, who was hung with an orange alarm sign by Wei Chi, opened the door to take the clinic. Sun Simiao and Sun Yao King also came over. They were very responsible and came over to teach medical skills early in the morning. Wei Chi wanted to sit down and listen, but it didn't work. His Majesty Li Er sent someone to ask, saying that it was the tea garden in Nanshan, and it was the tea picking period, so that he could take over early. In short, he asked him to teach new tea making methods as soon as possible so that His Majesty Li Er could drink this spring's new tea.

People have already said so clearly that Wei Chi could only immediately turn into a diligent little bee and fly to the Nanshan Tea Garden. By the way, it was really hard to sit in an ancient carriage. After taking a trip, the bones have gone through the test.

After getting off the carriage for an hour and a half, Wei Chi was still in the rushing rush of the tiger's body. Look at Zhang Dahu's children's shoes and riding a horse. While looking around, he was so heroic and so cool. The little fire that was jealous in a certain man was so bold: "Big Tiger!"

"Here, Master!"

"Help me."

Zhang Dahu rushed over and held Wei Chi, who was shocked by the tiger's body, and smiled with a simple face, so that the little fire in Wei Chi's heart gradually faded. So, bullying honest people is not a skill.

The manager of Nanshan Royal Tea Garden was an old man named Bai. When he saw Wei Chi, he bowed his hand in his mind, and his nostrils grew to the sky, and his face was as stinky as possible.

Yes, he was originally a major manager of the Royal Tea Garden, but who knew that His Majesty Li Er had been demoted from a royal employee to a private owner's foreman. This level dropped too quickly for a while. He was old and couldn't adapt.

However, it is one thing for Mr. Bai to understand that Wei Chi can understand, and whether to accept it is another thing. Anyway, we are here for technological innovation. Anyway, Nanshan Tea Garden will be our Wei Mansion in the future. You proud old man, do whatever you should do. Bai Huo is so old that he can't even see the situation, and Wei Chi doesn't expect him to have much ability.

In addition to the arrogant old man Bai, there was also a young official from Shaofu Temple who was waiting for the handover procedures. The young man was more aware of the current affairs and was polite in his work. He was not arrogant at all. He handed over all the land deeds and other procedures to Wei Chi.

Wei Chi is a semi-illiterate person who is in modern times. At first, he didn't know what Shaofu Temple is for. After asking for a long time, he realized that Shaofu Temple manages the economy, and they are all in charge of mines, salt ponds, tea gardens, etc. Of course, most of the income from these things is considered the royal private income.

When handling the procedures, the housekeeper Cheng must be present. At least he is born and raised in the Tang Dynasty and is more reliable than Wei Chi, a semi-illiterate young man who travels through time.

After completing the procedures, Wei Chi asked the outstanding young official of Shaofu Temple with a smile: "Sir, after completing the procedures, Nanshan Tea Garden belongs to my Weifu?"

"Yes, Lord Wei, the emperor's kindness is great. In the future, this Nanshan tea garden will be your Wei Mansion." There was indescribable envy in the tone of the young official. Although this Nanshan tea garden is not big, it is not small. There are several tea mountains, not to mention that it was given by the royal family. Just this kind of honor and favor is enviable enough.

"I have the right to deal with everything in the tea garden, including personnel and craftsmen?"

“Everything here is yours now and you can handle it at will.”

"Very good, thank you Lord Fang for your advice."

"It should be, it should be. Before coming, Your Majesty had instructed the officials to do their best to answer all the questions of Lord Wei."

Wei Chi smiled and said a few more polite words, making this little official surnamed Fang almost laughed into a flower, and then presented a small bag of Wei Chi's special tea, and then sent away the proud young official.

After seeing off, all the craftsmen and managers held a meeting. The first thing Wei Chi announced was to let Old Man Bai leave. Wei Chi said: "This Bai Manager has managed the royal tea garden for so many years. He has worked hard and made great contributions and respected him. However, this tea garden will be from the Wei Mansion in the future. Our temple is small and we can't tolerate the gods. Please ask Bai Manager to make a plan for another person. Uncle Cheng, give him ten coins of money and ask him to clean up the people."

"Yes, Master."

After sending the old man Bai away, Wei Chi looked at the people who were obviously intimidated by his dissuasion and said, "The rest of you, whoever you want to leave can leave. From now on, this place will not be a royal tea garden. Everyone who wants to leave will give you ten-cent money, treat everyone equally and will never retaliate."

In addition to the old man Bai who had just been driven away as the chief manager, there are four managers and hundreds of craftsmen. According to modern standards, a medium-sized private tea factory can be established. Nowadays, craftsmen have no autonomy and belong to the property of Nanshan Tea Garden. As long as the craftsmen are still there and the managers are in charge, Wei Chi doesn’t care.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that no one left again, Wei Chi put down the teacup and said, "Since you have no intention of leaving, I will think you are willing to stay. Since you stay, you must abide by my rules. Uncle Cheng, tell everyone about the rules of our Wei Mansion."

Considering the issue of confidentiality, Wei Chi set the rules relatively strictly, referring to the confidentiality regulations that I have seen online before, labor laws and other situations, basically all of which may be considered. Anyway, when Uncle Cheng saw this regulations, he was very shocked. Qiqi Ai Ai reminded Wei Chi: "Young Master, this is just a tea garden."

Wei Chi said with confidence: "It's the rule of the tea garden. Uncle Cheng, we must have a sense of confidentiality. Technology is the primary productive force, and technology represents money! We are not strong enough and do not compete with the big tea garden. We are taking the high-quality and high-end route! Do you understand?"

Uncle Cheng was very straightforward: "I don't understand, young master!"

Wei Chi fell off the soft chair with a "bang", and Xie Jiu, who was beside him, sprayed a mouthful of warm water, which made Wei Chi start another activity of "Popularization of Modern Common Words in the Tang Dynasty" and "Economic Common Sense Lecture", which made Uncle Cheng understand.

The next step is simpler. After Wei Chi brewed the tea he made for the craftsmen to taste, he had absolute authority in technology. Basically, they listened to whatever Wei Chi said. Of course, Wei Chi Tongshoe is a good comrade who knows a very humble spirit and is very clear about the essence of his layman.

Wei Chi did not pretend to be a guide, but instead asked in detail about the current production process, and then improved it based on what he knew, striving to start mass production as soon as possible.
