He is from the end of the world

In just one day's work, several rows of small trees were planted in the back of Lu's courtyard.

These men were quick and quick in their work, and Lu Ciyu specially hired honest and honest people with no bad intentions. In the end, they had planted all the trees but hadn't brought them down from the mountain yet.

Every tree here is personally selected by Lin Rong on the mountain.

Li Zheng and a group of men from Yuanjia Village followed behind him, and the men from Yuanjia Village would dig out whichever tree Lin Rong chose.The roots are wrapped with soil and put aside, and after a certain amount is collected, they are moved down the mountain.

Wherever he walked to the tree, the people of that family would look at him with worry and anticipation. When the finger pointed in the direction of their own tree, the hearts of these villagers were lifted.

One of his thoughts can decide the likes and sorrows of these people... Lin Rong seemed to understand what Lu Ciyu said.

Although Lu Ciyu and Lu Guixi handed over the horses to them, the mountain road was far and uneven, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth.

When the people in Lu's mansion planted all the trees they had accumulated, Lu Guixi looked at the sky and estimated the time.There was still some time before the next batch of trees were brought down, so he suggested that they sit and rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, these men became embarrassed instead, and they got together and made a total calculation, so half of them went up the mountain to help move the tree.

What a bunch of honest and honest people.For them, with Lu Ciyu's high wages, they would feel uneasy when they sat down and rested for a while, and they were eager to scramble for work, lest Lu Ciyu would suffer a disadvantage.

A group of men did what they said they would do, and left as soon as they said it, while the rest dug out the pits for planting trees in advance.Lu Guixi leaned against the door and looked at the backs of the group of people going up the mountain with emotion.

Lu Ciyu's ability to recognize people is second only to his family's Yan'er, and all of them are capable.

Thanks to the hard work of these people, Lu Ciyu only went out with Lin Chi for a day, and when he came back, he was almost taken aback by the changed Lu family.

"It's really hard for them." Lu Ciyu sighed.

"Let's add more food to them tomorrow." Lu Ciyu had already added the salary to the upper limit, and it would not be appropriate to raise it any further.For these men, it is a great happiness to bring back some meaty dishes to their families every day.

"it is good."

------

At dawn the next day, Lu Ciyu took Lin Chi to find Li Zheng.

His reason for coming is very simple, the hill behind the village, and a large open space beside the village.

The mountain is the one behind the Lu Mansion, and most of it is barren, not to mention there are many large rocks on the mountain.The road into the mountain was blocked by people, and few people usually come there.Lu Ciyu originally planned to buy another mountain that he went hunting when he first came to this village, but after discussing with Lin Chi, he temporarily suppressed this idea and chose the current one.

He bought the mountain to plant something on a large area. Although the mountain is a bit barren, it can be used by hiring some people to organize and plan it.

If you buy that big one, do you want to close the mountain?

If the mountain is not closed... don't mention their house, the villagers will go up to the mountain to hunt and gather herbs when there is nothing to do in summer, and sometimes they can dig up some good things to supplement their income if they are lucky. What should I do where I get out.

People are curious, no matter what the reason is, Lu Ciyu is not willing to let others go in casually.

To a certain extent, his sense of territory is quite strong, and what he grows is not precious, and he can't pull up the power grid for protection.

But if the mountain is closed... Usually, this mountain has been allowed to enter and exit for hundreds of years, and Lu Ciyu cut off a source of income for the villagers for no reason, which may cause dissatisfaction in most of the village.Even Li Zheng couldn't guarantee that the other party would stand by him.

The other party was Lizheng in the village first, and the uncle he and Lin Chi had recognized second.

Li Zheng looked at him in confusion: "I already knew about the fact that you wanted to buy the mountain, but why would you buy the land?"

Lu Ciyu poured him a glass of water: "I plan to build a few courtyards. I had this plan in mind when I built the Lu Mansion before, but I don't have enough money."

"No, now that I have finally saved up, I thought of taking the opportunity to buy a mountain and buy it together."

"Didn't I say, your yard is not small, isn't there still three vacant rooms?"

Lu Ciyu smiled: "It's not small, but this winter I thought of some ways to make money. After a rough estimate, it will take a lot of space to implement it all, and the three yards are far from enough."

"Doesn't processing and drying take up space?"

Li Zheng frowned.

"Can't you estimate the approximate size?"

Lu Ciyu shook his head: "Don't talk about other ways, you know that the reason why I bought these fruit trees is to use the fruits to make some dried fruits and other things. Just cutting the fruits into slices and drying them requires a lot of water."

"It's also the first time I've done this. Right now, I'm not sure how many fruits these trees can bear, and how thin a fruit should be cut. There is a lot of room for manipulation in these details,"

Li Zheng stroked his beard.

The place Lu Ciyu wanted was not far from the side of the village, and it took about a stick of incense to get there.

That large piece of land has been empty since I remembered it, and it is connected with the flat land where the village is located. Compared with the area where the village is located, it is exactly symmetrical, and its area is comparable to a quarter of the land. Yangning Village is so big.

Due to soil problems, the open land could not be reclaimed into farming land, otherwise it would have been robbed by people.The village has been emptying it there, so it's better to sell it to him than just leave it there, but...

After selling to him, there is really no big room around the village.

In fact... it is not impossible to rent it to Lu Ciyu?

Lu Ciyu guessed what he was going to say by looking at his expression, before he could say anything, he continued: "I intend to build this land into a factory."

"Factory?" It was the first time Li Zhengchang had heard such a term at such a big age.

Lu Ciyu nodded and waved to Lin Chi, who then took out a stack of papers from his pocket.

Lu Ciyu unfolded the drawing and put it in front of Lizheng's eyes. Lizheng lowered his head and saw a large plan on the paper.

This is the second time he saw this way of drawing pictures, the first time he took a look when Lin Rong was in charge of supervising the construction of Lu Ciyu's house.

He deserves to be an upright person for so many years, and he is much smarter than Lin Rong. Lin Rong's guy Lu Ciyu told him back and forth several times before he understood how to look at it.

His father's kindness has been inherited, but his father's cleverness has not been retained.

In fact, the word factory mainly refers to a large factory of industrial machinery. Lu Ciyu's usage is a bit wrong, but anyway, no one in this world knows what the word really means. It doesn't matter how he made it up to add meaning to the word. One can refute.

"Uncle can be understood as a factory for workers."

"Look, this is the entrance to the factory." He pointed to a corner on the drawing. "Each box on the map in this chapter is a circled house."

Li was looking at the densely packed drawings and frowned: "There are quite a lot of houses."

"But there are not many subdivisions."

"Look, there is a circle with a vertical bar (①) inside. The rooms with these marks are the main places for processing, so the area of ​​these rooms is much larger than other rooms. Then there are A 2...cough house with a distorted one is a semi-finished product of secondary processing. After the things are finished, they will be sent here for the second step...".

"...the rooms in the last circle are used for packaging alone."

"Ah, packaging is to pack the finished product with something."

"For example, if we go to the town to buy soy sauce and vinegar, it will cost ten cents less to bring the jar with us than to buy a whole jar from there. This is what we do here."

"With good packaging, the price of our products will increase a lot."

Li Zheng was confused, but he was very sure of one thing.

Lu Ciyu obviously prepared a lot of time for this matter, and this time he came with the determination to succeed.

Just talking about the distribution of the use of each room in these drawings is definitely not something that can be thought of in a day or two. Every corner of the open space has been fully utilized, leaving no room for it.Just like what Lu Ciyu said, this is to subdivide everyone's labor and maximize it to the extreme. How much manpower and material resources will be saved and how much money can be saved by building an assembly line... Even if he, an old man, thinks about it Thinking about it will make your blood boil.

This dynasty is still stuck in the business model of small farmers and small households who only do their own things. The processing method of the assembly line is only available at the artisans raised in the palace and large merchants. It is unprecedented for small farmers like them. It's a wonderful idea.

the most important is……

"After the factory is built, there will be a lot of labor gaps. Naturally, I can recruit people from our own village first. At that time, everyone in the village can come to help during the slack season, and the payment can be made daily or monthly. , and can even be settled according to the hour, we can directly sign the document."

"Lin Chi and I are both from this village. You and everyone don't have to worry about us cheating you or anything. This is a guaranteed profit."

"Now you understand why I don't want to rent the land. After all, I have to build a lot of things on it. If the village suddenly takes back this land... I have to find another place to move, and I will still do it if I delay things. It has had a huge impact on my business."

On the inside, he was still hesitant, but his heart was already leaning to his side.

Lu Ciyu's wages to the villagers have always been generous, even if it is a man's [-] Wen a day, [-] Wen in ten days, and [-] days...

His heart was pounding.

"This fact is too important. I can't make a plan by myself. I need to discuss it with several other clan elders."

Lu Ciyu nodded: "It should."

"But I'm going to take the county exam in a while, and I hope Uncle Lizheng can give me the result sooner."

"If I build a house after I come back from the scientific examination... this year's business may not be done in time."

It will be May when he comes back. With Lu Ciyu's handwriting, I am afraid that the factory will not be fooled. It is estimated that it will take half a month to build.

It's better to let him build the factory building during the slack season, so that he can make more money before the busy farming period. If there is no one to spare in the busy farming village, wouldn't this year's delay be in vain?

After a year's time difference, how much less money should the village earn.

When I arrived here, I was trying to understand the reason, and I was more anxious than Lu Ciyu.

"I see, I will go find a few clan elders in a while."

This is something that benefits the whole village, no matter whether it is the elders of the Lin family, the elders of the Li family or anyone else, they will not object.

"These drawings...".

"I'll put it here with you first." Lu Ciyu's face was full of joy. "It's okay to tell them my plan, I must explain my previous thoughts clearly, as long as I can persuade a few clan elders to agree."

Li Zheng nodded: "Don't worry."

After Lu Ciyu finished talking, he took Lin Chi out.Although there was a smile on the corner of his lips, he instinctively told Lin Chi that he still had something on his mind, and Mr. Lu was not as happy as he looked on the outside.

The two walked for a long time, and Lin Chi didn't speak until there was no one around the Lu residence not far away: "Why is Mr. Lu unhappy?"

Lu Ciyu looked at him in surprise: "I didn't expect to be discovered by you."

"Sure enough, my daughter-in-law understands me... Tell me, are you wondering what my husband and I are thinking all day long?" Mr. Lu began to be serious again.

Lin Chi grabbed the hand that was pinching his cheek: "Don't make trouble."

"why?"

"I'm worried".Lu Ciyu sighed, and then she took off the disguise of her appearance and frowned slightly.

"I'm worried when Uncle Lizheng will give me an accurate answer."

"When did the title deed come into my hands, and when can I really relax."
