Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 438
Xie Shuying really wanted to perform well. Naturally, her goal was not to make a lot of money, she just wanted to see her ability.

If it is really possible this time, she can do this job well.

Then she will either borrow money to start a business, or disguise herself as a man for scientific research.

Anyway, she doesn't want to spend her life in a dull way, she wants to make her life extra interesting.

Seeing that he couldn't convince his sister, Xie Cong thought about it, and felt that even if Li Yun rectified the manufacturing bureau, he should be messing with those big shots, and wouldn't care about a supervisor who kept records.

Thinking of this, Xie Cong felt relieved, and then he asked some questions about working hours and salary.

Xie Shuying remembered this aspect very clearly, and then she spoke up.

After a while, Xie Shuying went back to her room and took out a package. She put the package on the table, and after opening it was full of precious money.

There are more than 2 yuan.

This is Xie Shuying who went out to wear women's clothing a few days ago, and was spotted by a dandy disciple. This person was willing to give Xie Shuying a gift of [-] yuan, and he wanted to marry Xie Shuying.

Xie Shuying originally refused to agree, but this person put down the money and left.

He thought that Xie Shuying was a girl, and it would be inconvenient to hold [-] yuan, so he could find Xie Shuying and marry him back home.

But I didn't want Xie Shuying to practice martial arts since she was a child, and quickly disappeared into the crowd with [-] yuan on her shoulders.

This dude couldn't find Xie Shuying either.

She was entertaining guests at Qianhe Tower yesterday, and even delivered a letter to the dandy.

"This is money I borrowed from a friend. Brother, if you want to use it, you can take it at any time."

"What kind of friend would lend you so much money? Does he have thoughts about you?"

Xie Cong immediately felt that this matter was not simple.

Xie Shuying smiled, "He does have thoughts about me, but it's not important. We are short of money now, so we need it for emergencies first. When I have money, I will pay him back the principal with interest."

Xie Cong glanced at his sister and shook his head helplessly.

He wanted to refuse, but the words came to his lips, but he still didn't say it.

He ate and slept well in the East Palace, but Xie Shuying was not so happy outside.

Since she was a child, she was well-clothed and well-fed. Although her life was much frugal after her family broke up, she still had a lot of expenses to spend.

In particular, she likes to read books. Without money, there is no way to buy and borrow books.

So after they came to Chang'an, the money became less and less.

Now even if Xie Shuying is forced to return it, it's meaningless, it's better to keep it for yourself, and return it to others when you make money later.

Xie Cong actually didn't realize that since their brother and sister left Chen County and came to Chang'an, their demands on themselves were much lower.

In the past, they would never have done such a thing.

But now, the bottom line of the two siblings is getting lower and lower.

After experiencing various things, the two brothers and sisters have long since lost their previous ambitions.

This is what it means to be poor and short-sighted.

……

Today's weather is very good, the breeze is blowing, and there is a little grass smell in the air.

After the sun had fully risen, Li Yun came to the Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and met the two Shaofu supervisors who made the first and second bureaus.

Fan Yang is tall, thin and has dark circles under his eyes. His eyes are always squinted habitually, so he should be short-sighted.

Lu Chengzhi looked much fatter, shorter and darker than Fan Yang.

If Fan Yang looked like a scholar, then Lu Chengzhi looked like a shopkeeper in the countryside. He lived a good life, but he was also exposed to the sun and was a little dark.

In general, Lu Chengzhi looked more energetic than Fan Yang.

Li Yun glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "You two, I will go to the Manufacturing Bureau to check later, you don't want to reveal my identity."

"You don't have to be nervous, I won't find fault on purpose."

Fan Yang and Lu Chengzhi hurriedly said they didn't dare.

Li Yun paused, and then said: "Is the Manufacturing Bureau busy recently?"

Fan Yang nodded, and continued: "His Royal Highness, the Manufacturing Bureau has been very busy recently, because the Tang Dynasty is preparing for a war with the Turks, and the Ministry of War requires us to prepare [-] swords within three months."

"Oh I see."

Li Yun asked, just to ask, to see what the manufacturing bureau has been doing recently.

After getting the news, he didn't say much, and then let the two of them go down.

Fan Yang and Lu Chengzhi looked at each other, and then left together.

After leaving the small courtyard, Fan Yang said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, what do you think His Highness has come here this time?"

His voice was very low, as if he wanted to ask Lu Chengzhi for advice.

But after speaking, he immediately turned his eyes away, with an appearance of listening attentively, but in fact there was disdain in his eyes.

Fan Yang is the Shaofu Supervisor of the First Bureau of Manufacturing Bureau, and Lu Chengzhi is the Shaofu Supervisor of the Second Bureau of Manufacturing Bureau.

The two are actually in a competitive relationship, and their philosophy of doing things is also very different.

Both Fan Yang and Lu Chengzhi are under pressure to increase production. Fan Yang's solution is to let craftsmen work longer hours, seven or eight hours a day.

And Lu Chengzhi's method is to recruit more people, regardless of whether this person can do things or complete tasks, he will recruit them.

Generally speaking, Lu Chengzhi's method can increase production more, and more weapons and equipment are finished every month.

But after all, there are a lot of idlers waiting, and it is not very reliable to make the second game. They are fast, but the quality is not good enough.

The manufacturing bureau is a bit slower, but because they are all old craftsmen, the quality is still guaranteed.

The two have different styles, so naturally no one looks down on the other.

At this time, Fan Yang's inquiry was just a casual question, and he didn't really want to get any useful opinions from Lu Chengzhi.

Lu Chengzhi smiled, and then said: "Who knows, but His Highness must really hate people who are ineffective."

One round of the manufacturing bureau is not doing things well. They work too slowly and the output is not good.

Fan Yang glared at Lu Chengzhi, then raised his foot and walked away quickly.

He also knew the problem of making a bureau, but he didn't like Lu Chengzhi's way, and there are so many craftsmen in Chang'an.

Ordinary craftsmen are not happy to work in the Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry.

Because their tasks are heavy and stressful, and they don’t earn enough. If these craftsmen hadn’t worked for the imperial court for generations and had already left their nicknames in the Ministry of Industry, they would not be willing to work in the Ministry of Industry at all.

Therefore, even if Fan Yang wanted to increase production, it would be more difficult under the premise of quality assurance.

Lu Chengzhi looked at Fan Yang's leaving back, rolled his eyes, and then sighed. He also knew the problem of creating the second round.

Compared to Fan Yang, he was also worried, the quality of weapons in the second round of manufacturing was much worse.

If he also asked like Fan Yang, then they would not be able to increase production, and in that case, he would have no advantage at all.
