Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 583 Artisan Workshop
Xing Xing and Ding Chun are no strangers to patent fees.

They had already heard of it when they were at the Royal Manufacturing Office.It's a pity that the Royal Manufacturing Office did not implement it, so all they can get is the basic salary and the "reward" from the master.

Some masters are more generous and reward more.

But if the master is not generous and what you do is taboo, then not only will you be rewarded or not, but it may even kill you.

Fortunately, Xing Xing became so careful because his own brother committed a taboo when making things for a certain concubine.

This incident had a great impact on Xing Xing - he would rather do less than make mistakes.

As for Ding Chun, he is a person who desperately wants to get ahead, but has been unable to find a way out, so he has to stand up and take risks.

There is cleverness and ability, but there is no opportunity.

This time they will be sent out, and they will also be "squeezed out" by other people in the Royal Manufacturing Office.

It was fine without patent fees, but Xing Xing and Ding Chun found that not only did they not have professional fees, but they could not even compare with other people's "bonuses".

In the Royal Manufacturing Office, the "rewards" given over there are uncertain and depend on fate, while the "bonuses" here are clearly stipulated and posted on the wall. As long as you complete some tasks, you can receive them.

Maybe not as high as those masters' "rewards", but it is clearly stipulated that everyone can get it, and every thing is made and the score reaches the standard, you can get it.

The more Ding Chun looked at it, the more his heart moved: Why does he feel that this craftsman is better than himself?
As for the things designed by these craftsmen, to be honest, it's not that Ding Chun couldn't make them, it's just that he didn't think about them.

If let him come...

"I didn't expect them to be treated so well. Do you think it's true?" Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Ding Chun secretly poked Xing Xing's back, wanting him to give him some advice.

Xing Xing couldn't say it well either, and said, "I don't know."

He stared closely at the items exhibited in the exhibition hall of Yao's workshop, and vaguely discovered that many items that were popular in the capital and were scrambled for by the elites in the capital were actually made here? !

Although they look down on these gadgets, they think that what they are is not up to the table at all, not refined enough, and not high-end enough.

But the problem is, this thing is flattering.

Didn't see the little masters in the capital, many of them were bought into the palace by someone, and they were taken out for daily use?
In the palace, if a little master doesn't have such a few things in his hands, it is "losing his status".

While Ding Chun was thinking about the issue of remuneration, Xing Xing was thinking about these "little gadgets". He wanted to figure out what makes these things so attractive?

If he figured it out, then his trip was not in vain.

After he returns to the capital...

Xing Xing lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the things in front of him, thinking.

For several days, Xing Xing ran to the exhibition hall of Yao's workshop.

Ding Chun ran a few times, but he didn't want to go. He didn't know what Xing Xing wanted to do. Is it useful to stare at that thing all day?

"Why are you staring at this when you have nothing to do? Shouldn't we think about it, what should we do in the future?" Ding Chun took his arm and said, "Hey, tell me, is his treatment really so good? Didn't I chat with someone these days, and I heard several people say that the treatment here is good. Tell me, did the Yao family let them say that on purpose?"

"do not know."

"I'm a little worried. Tell me, if the Yao family let them say that on purpose, what does it mean? Do they want to keep us?"

"do not know."

"How come you don't know anything?"

Xing Xing glanced at him: "Then what do you think I should know? I'm just like you, I just came here, and you still talk to people, talk about this and that, I don't even have anyone to ask. Still listen to what you say, what do you say I say?"

"Uh..." Ding Chun choked.

Forget it, what is there to say about this wood?
Say it in vain.

Ding Chun didn't want to talk to Xing anymore, since that day, he didn't come to see him for a while.

Just when Xing Xing thought that Ding Chun had a new target, Ding Chun suddenly ran over excitedly.

"Master Xing."

Xing Xing was taken aback by Ding Chun's glowing eyes: "Why?"

"I've decided, I want to stay."

Xing Xing frowned, not knowing what Ding Chun was talking about.

Ding Chun leaned closer: "They are planning a big baby recently. It is said that if they succeed, they will get a big bonus... I helped them solve a small problem, and they want to bring me along. Just this one, I You can get that number.”

Ding Chun gestured.

Xing Xing widened his eyes.

"Hey! Don't you believe it? But it's true." Ding Chun told Xing Xing with bright eyes, this is just a bonus, but this thing was invented, it is really useful, and it may be more profitable than pigeon chess.

Because this thing is not a toy, it is something that the real people want to use, just like toilet paper.

"what?"

"Hey! I won't tell you."

Xing Xing: "..."

Don't tell me, what did you come to tell me?
Show off?
A few days later, Xing Xing knew the answer.

On that day, all the people in the workshop gathered, excitedly waiting for Master Hong Zhiyu to announce the answer.

Yu Hongzhi, the leader of the Yao family artisan workshop.

Not long after Ding Chun came here, he heard many people praise it, saying that the master is very capable, toilet paper, chess and cards, movable type printing... many things in the Yao family were invented and improved by him.

He is also the person with the highest income in the entire artisan workshop.

It is said that the patents and bonuses Master Yu has received now are enough for him to spend several lifetimes.

Even if he can't invent anything from now on, those patents and bonuses alone will allow him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

But Master Yu is a craftsman idiot, he knows how to toss these things all day long, if he really wants to stop working, he doesn't like it.Beside Master Yu, there is also a book editor named Feng Junlang, who was specially called by the master to serve as Master Yu's assistant.

Feng Junlang doesn't need to do anything else, he only needs to do one thing, and that is to "record" all the inventions of his master, and then compile them into a book.

They don't know about books, they only know that Feng Junlang compiled three kinds of books.

One is "Craftsman's Secret", which is only used to apply for patents and is not open to the public.It will not be opened to the outside world until many years later, when someone else's invention suppresses this person's invention, so that his technology does not need to be kept secret.

One is their internal "craftsman's book", which is only used for professional exchanges and is also not open to the outside world.Unlike the former, this "closed to the outside world" is limited to people outside the workshop.

But even the people in the craftsman signed a non-disclosure agreement, and they couldn't disclose it to the outside world without permission.

One is "Craftsmanship", which was developed externally, which tells the stories of craftsmen from ancient times to the present, and popularizes some "artisan common sense" by the way.

Because the latter does not involve any confidentiality, if the materials provided are published in newspapers or magazines, they can also get a part of the bonus, and there are still many craftsmen participating.

It's just that this money is easy to earn at the beginning, but it is not easy to earn later.Because the further you get to the back, those "common senses" are all said by the people in front, and besides, the content of "Carpenter's Book" will be involved.
