Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 722;

Chapter 670;

Like a defeated rooster, Li Yu followed his master out of Mrs. Liu's courtyard. Knowing that the patriarch was in a bad mood, several first-class maids in Mrs. Liu's courtyard held their breaths to send the patriarch out without daring to speak loudly. Get angry.

After leaving Mrs. Liu's mansion, Li Yu looked at the Shangguan patriarch unwillingly;

"Master, do you think you can get thousands of people if you go to the Zou family name?"

The Shangguan patriarch shook his head and his attitude seemed very firm;

"I don't think so. According to common sense, those with the Zou family name should be more afraid of being kicked out of the clan, so the old man deduces that the two chief stewards and the head of the Zou family are not in the clan, so it is useless for you to go. If you really want to gather the people of this guard, there should be no other way but to use your patriarch token."

"Okay, master, let's go back to the mansion."

The two kept discussing all the way, but they still didn't come up with a plan when they reached the gate of the mansion.

"On other matters, the disciple can issue the patriarch's order, but this matter has been misunderstood by the clansmen. If the disciple issues the patriarch's order again, the clan's hearts will be chilled, so the disciple cannot act domineeringly in this matter. Master, what do you say?"

"A child can be taught. Whether it is a family, a clan or the people of the world, the human heart is the most important thing. Since ancient times, what our small family has grasped is the human heart. If the heart is broken, it will not be far from perishing, so this matter is really not applicable. The patriarch Ling Qiang came here, and the reason why the teacher accompanied you to intercede is to let you wake up and understand, instead of being persuaded by others."

"The disciple understands the master, so let's use procrastination first. Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor is using my second wife to perfuse other five surnames and seven Wangs. Your Majesty should also know that this is not an easy task."

"Well, it's okay to procrastinate, but there must be a limit. If the emperor is not in a hurry to clean up the family of the five surnames and Qiwang for the time being, then he can procrastinate forever. I have to give an explanation, my son, have you thought of a countermeasure?"

"Master, do you think it is feasible to gather the four ladies and other clansmen to form a guard in the future?"

As soon as Li Yu proposed it, he was directly rejected by the patriarch of Shangguan on the spot;

"Inappropriate! You have let go of the rumors and said that you have recently asked those people to enter your second household registration. Those people have been avoiding the new court for several years. They must be looking forward to finally no longer hiding. In the end, you sold the family again. It is inevitable." If you want to damage your reputation, I think you should find another way, but fortunately, there are not many people in this guard, so they can always be gathered."

"Oh, I know Master, let's talk about it later. Fortunately, the court didn't order me how much time to give me. It didn't say whether it's this year or next year. It shouldn't be a problem to fool around for a few years."

"Ah."

Li Yu looked at the mountains of armor, bows and arrows piled up at the gate of the mansion, and turned to command the clansmen beside him;
"Go to the Lin family's forbidden army to pass on my patriarch's order. The day after tomorrow is the day of the underworld, and the heavenly punishment is sitting in the palace. It is also the time when the heavenly punishment for the underworld is fierce. It is the best time to send troops. There are [-] troops in total. Call them the forbidden army. The Lin family began to prepare."

"only!"

The servant promised to run away quickly, and went to the Lin's house on the east side of Zhuangzi.

Li Yu turned his head and went back to the front yard of the mansion, the second steward Li Yi came up to report;
"My lord, all our blacksmiths are here, and they are still in the two side courtyards to the west."

"Oh, then go see everyone."

"It's Mr. Lang."

Entering the blacksmith yard, more than 300 blacksmiths sat and squatted, and all of them were happy to see the owner come in. The blacksmiths have not worked for several months. When they heard the call from the owner, they all came very actively.

"Meet my lord."

"Hello, sir."

"Lang Jun Wanfu."

"Okay, okay, everyone is free."

Li Yu greeted the blacksmiths with a smile, and sighed in his heart, how time flies, when he first came here two years ago, the first time he summoned blacksmiths to make iron pots is vivid in his memory, and there were only dozens of blacksmiths at that time Today, there are nearly four hundred masters in Li's second house, not to mention the apprentices of these people.

It has been two years, the people are still these people, the courtyard is still these two courtyards, everything has not changed, the only thing that has changed is that I have integrated into this society, I have integrated into this huge family, and my title has also been raised to the level that an ordinary person can never live in. Dare to imagine the point.

"Lang Jun, what kind of buddy do you have?"

"Don't worry, sir, no matter what kind of work we can do."

"Yeah, okay, I have always been very relieved when you work. By the way, why don't you see Zhang Laoshi, the chief steward? Is the chief steward in charge of others?"

Li Yu looked around for the capable man who made his first iron pot.

"Here, sir, the villain is here."

The crowd parted, and the honest Zhang Laoshi walked out of the inner room with his two sons!
Zhang Laoshi, who has been in charge for nearly two years, although he is still very down-to-earth, his temperament has changed completely from before. When the three of them came out, all the blacksmiths in the yard respectfully separated from each other. Let your own big steward do the work.

Zhang Laoshi also walked over calmly and steadily to greet the Patriarch, doing it meticulously;
"Greetings to my lord, my lord is blessed and safe."

Li Yu smiled and stretched out his right hand;

"The big manager is free of courtesy."

"Thank you sir."

"Lang Jun summoned, there must be a major entrustment, please give the order."

Li Yu was very satisfied with Zhang Laoshi, who was mature and prudent and didn't gossip much;
"That's right. The imperial court has allowed us to build the two armors we made earlier, and the bow and arrow we made ourselves. We can start working from today. Can you hurry up and let me know when I'm ready?" I can take my clansmen to catch gazelles on the prairie."

"Success, don't worry, sir. If we cultivate all the land of the imperial court by ourselves, we really don't have enough labor to work, and we certainly can't keep up with what you can use. Fortunately, we didn't use our own clansmen, and we have enough manpower to support it." Now, I don't know how much armor your lord needs? How many bows and arrows?"

"The imperial court didn't say the specific number, but the documents of the three provinces and six ministries state that there is a system of one guard. Let's take advantage of it. Let's go with the current configuration of sixteen guards. Thirteen thousand, each with a pair of armor and a pair of bows and arrows. How about Chief Steward Zhang, this time it depends on your ability, Chief Steward, I will take the troops to the Henan Road, and it will probably take a few months to come back, can it be done in three months?"

Zhang Laoshi didn't answer the conversation immediately, but walked back and forth in the yard frowning, and from time to time, he watched all the more than 300 skilled craftsmen under his command. Li Yu was not in a hurry, and just stepped aside.

Manager Zhang casually talked to his craftsmen while he was swaying and thinking about the problem;

"Liu Laoba, I remember that your eldest son and third son can be regarded as master craftsmen."

The old man who was questioned was so happy that he quickly bent down and responded respectfully;

"If you go back to the chief steward, the two cubs were able to work on their own last fall, but you have no time to arrange the final test, chief steward, so you have no luck...so you can't come into the yard today."

"Well, I see. I'll call the two of them over this afternoon, and the old man will test it himself."

"Yes, yes, that... I am the chief steward, my second child's skills are actually passable..."

Zhang Laoshi, who was about to talk to the subordinate next to him, immediately turned his head and responded quickly;

"No! Your second child doesn't have to worry about work, and it will be about the same in another three to five years. It is still far away from leaving the teacher to work alone. Let him continue to be the second knife.

Also, you know the old man's temper, if your second child doesn't worry about it like before, the old man won't care about the century-old friendship between the two families.

He has already been whipped three times. The old man has always kept him in view of the friendship between our two families, so you have to know what you want, old man. "

Liu Laoba, who wanted to take this opportunity to support his second son, swallowed and spit to dispel the idea. He knew that the chief manager in front of him was the only one to say anything about the work, and the patriarch would not refute him. Liu Laoba hurriedly accompanied him with a smile on his face;
"Yes yes yes, the villain will keep the words of the big manager in mind, teach him well, and discipline him strictly. If he dares to make mistakes again, I will beat him to death!"

Zhang Laoshi continued to walk back and forth while thinking about things in his heart.

"Liang Gousheng."

Zhang Laoshi is thinking about the problem while recalling the nephews and apprentices of his subordinates, so it is a random roll call system. As soon as the roll roll is here, a little old man in the crowd rushes out. Don’t worry, you can’t do it. Today’s posture is obvious. Many people set the ranks, including five sons and two nephews!
"I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, please give orders to the big steward."

"Call your eldest and fourth child over in the afternoon."

"Thank you for taking care of the chief steward, and I would like to report to the chief steward. For the past two months, thanks to your favor, the second child has been working in the blacksmith's shop in Chang'an City. Although there is no wages, the craftsmanship is really unambiguous. Blacksmith Wang It has been said that the second child is considered an expert, and the villain knows the relationship between you and Blacksmith Wang, the chief steward, so I dare not speak half a lie, please investigate the chief steward."

"Well, I believe you. You've never told a lie, and your second child is really hardworking. Last year, he was about the same. It's been another four or five months. Thinking about it, he's almost done."

"Yes, yes, it is absolutely true to answer the words of the chief steward."

Zhang Laoshi turned his head and instructed his eldest son who was holding a brush and book beside him;

"Remember his second child too."

"It's Aye."

Zhang Laoshi looked at the craftsmen in the yard and calmly arranged them;

"Okay, everyone who I called will go home to arrange meals, and will show up in this yard on time with all the nephews and apprentices who can become teachers from each family.

You also know that the old man has always been strict with his orders, and those who exceed this point, no matter how powerful they are, don't want him, do you hear clearly? "

Hundreds of craftsmen in the yard agreed immediately;
"Listen clearly, Chief Manager."

Li Yu hated fat people with big bellies to make gestures on stage the most, turning around those who know how to do things and directing them, and being messy everywhere, making things messy if they couldn't figure it out!
So from the time when Zhang honestly thought about the problem, Li Yu hid in a corner with Tanchun and said nothing. Li Yu has fully absorbed the experience and lessons of his previous life, and made the best use of it. Yes, Li Yu took the lead in obeying this point, and has always set a good example!

For professional matters, Li Yu never interrupted, so the work efficiency of Li's second room was very high. All the big managers kept their promises and orders were strict, which made it much more convenient for them to do things.

Unknowingly, the blacksmiths in the yard had almost left, only Zhang Laoshi and eight other old men, and nine old men gathered together to discuss carefully, and squatted down to make gestures with branches. Li Yu knew that this was the case. In calculating the total number of people, and production efficiency.

Sure enough, the nine old men finally finished their discussion, and Zhang Laoshi brought eight second-in-charge officers to Li Yu to salute;
"Neglecting the Patriarch, I am terrified!"

"It doesn't matter! This is not a crime, let alone a mistake. How did the chief steward calculate?"

"If you go back to Mr. Lang, if the apprentices who come to accept the review in the afternoon can be successfully trained, you can successfully complete Mr. Lang's plan within three months, but these craftsmen are not enough, and two or three thousand people with winks and hardships are needed to come and work. Apprentices We just take care of the clean work, and those who have left the teacher will personally check the finale, otherwise they will not be able to complete Lang Jun's explanation on time."

Li Yu nodded very satisfied;

"I will arrange enough manpower for you here. I will give you an order in a short while and hand it over to Mrs. Liu, the number one steward of the inner house. Don't worry about Mrs. Liu's errands, she will never delay anything on your side."

"Xie Langjun supports, and there is another request. The two yards here are only suitable for the final finishing work. Other work needs to be arranged separately. Fang Caichen discussed it with the other eight stewards. I think the big yard for making cement is the best. Appropriate, there is enough stock there at present, resting for three months will not delay the construction of other Zhuangzi, please enlighten me! Give support, I will wait to repair the iron stove and prepare furniture and other expenses."

"can."

"Thank you for your support."

"Well, what else does the chief steward need? Even if I ask, I also know that the time is too short, the requirements are too high, and the amount is too large. It must be different from the past! So I can accept it if I pay more."

"Lang Jun is wise, I only have one last thing to bother you."

"It's okay to be in charge, but it's okay to say."

"Yes, after discussing with you, I feel that time is tight, and the lunch should not be delayed for too long, so I want to say..."

Of course Li Yu could understand, Zhang Laoshi was embarrassed to say this, so he waved his hand generously;

"I know what you're going to say, don't talk about one meal, I agree with three meals a day."

"Lang Jun is wise."

The nine stewards bent down to salute together. What could be more gratifying than meeting such a wise master?
"I also have something to tell you."

"Yes, sir, just give orders, and I will listen to you."

"Well, you must remember that no matter how anxious you are, no matter whether you do it well or not, craftsmen should not work for more than five hours a day."

"This……"

Li Yu turned around and left with his personal maid, explaining as he walked;
"The people of the clan don't have the idea of ​​playing tricks. They know that the clan is in a hurry to use it. They must all work hard. They are all honest. If you don't ask, there is no problem with the armor being done well, but a few will die from exhaustion. human life.

Even if you can't die from exhaustion, it's a hard job, and the root cause of your injury is not a good thing after all. They are all my clansmen, so I have to feel sorry for them. "

Li Yu who walked to the entrance of the yard turned around again;
"Craftsmen are human beings, and you have to love them too."

The nine stewards responded with tears in their eyes;

"Respect the order of the master."
