Chapter 40 Do You Know What Reform Through Labor Is? (Second Update)

Zhang Yibei, Wu Laoliu and others stood at the gate of No. 0 workshop, feeling a little nervous.

Since they had dinner with Zhou Shu last time, they have never seen Zhou Shu again.

When they returned to Workshop No. 97 that day, they were reprimanded by Master Xiao, and then they were assigned to different workshops and lived their normal lives before.

In addition to working every day, I just work, and I don't have time to inquire about Zhou Shu's situation.

To this day, the principal sent someone to send them directly to No. 0 workshop, and even brought their tattered belongings over. There was no explanation during the whole process.

"Brother Zhang, what do you think happened?"

Wu Laoliu whispered.

The No. 0 workshop in front of me looks solid and clean, not dirty like other workshops at all.

In the eyes of everyone, this place is more like the residence of a wealthy family, rather than a workshop for blacksmithing.

That spacious door, no one dared to push the door first.

"I don't know either."

Zhang Yibei was also a little flustered. Although he had relatively old qualifications in the Casting Division, he had only been an apprentice in the Casting Army for a long time.

Knowledge in other aspects is no better than that of other apprentices who forged soldiers.

"Brother Zhou said last time that he wanted us to go to Workshop Zero—"

Wu Laoliu muttered.

"Old Six! Call Master Zhou!"

Zhang Yibei reprimanded in a low voice.

Suddenly, the door opened with a creak, and Zhou Shu's figure appeared inside the door.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Wu, you are here."

Seeing everyone, Zhou Shu showed a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I was dealing with something just now, and I didn't notice that you came, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

"Everyone, come in, this is Workshop Zero, and it will be your home in the future."

"Master Zhou, have we really transferred to Workshop Zero?"

Zhang Yibei asked a little nervously.

"Brother Zhang, didn't I say that? Don't be so polite."

Zhou Shu said, and then explained, "Of course it is true. Your contracts have all been transferred to No. 0 Workshop. From now on, you are the apprentices of No. 0 Workshop."

"That would be great!"

Zhang Yibei smiled heartily.

Although he works the same everywhere, he feels that he can learn more by following Zhou Shu.

Even if he is an apprentice of casting soldiers, can't he have some extravagant hopes in his heart?

"Let's talk about the old days in the future. Now everyone, come with me first. I will show you the place where you work and your respective residences."

Zhou Shu said with a smile, "There is another reason why you are so eager to call everyone here, that is, No. 0 Workshop has received an order from the imperial court, and only one batch of weapons will be delivered in a month, so there is no time for everyone to repair it. Get familiar with the environment. After that, we will start working immediately.”

"No problem, we listen to your master."

Zhang Yibei spoke first, and the rest of the people also responded.

Following Zhou Shu through the gate, everyone was a little stunned as soon as they entered the gate.

Inside the gate, there is a wide square, more than 30 steps long and wide, square and square, the ground is paved with neat bluestones, and around the square, there are thick wooden stakes erected, which are used for military inspections.

Beyond the square is a large room that no one has ever seen before!

That room is so big, even the main hall of the imperial palace, is it nothing more than that?

Everyone secretly said in their hearts that more than 30 of them would appear empty in that room.

In that huge room, smelting furnaces are neatly arranged one after another. Each smelting furnace does not occupy too much space, but it is enough for one person to perform.

Zhang Yibei and others once experienced joint casting of soldiers with Zhou Shu. When they saw this scene, they understood in their hearts that this is the place for everyone to build soldiers together.

"This is the place where everyone forges soldiers. I call it the factory building."

Zhou Shu said with a smile, "Everyone come with me, the accommodation is at the back."

Lead the crowd through a door and come to the second entrance.

The entrance is still a big yard with flowers and plants planted inside, which is fresh and fresh.

There are two-story buildings on three sides of the courtyard, and that building is also different from what Zhang Yibei and others have seen.

Seeing the blue bricks and green tiles, Zhang Yibei and the others felt a little cramped, for fear that they would get dirty.

"This is where you will live in the future." Zhou Shu said, "Every house has the same specifications, and everyone has it."

He opened a door casually, "It's not too big inside, but it should be enough for a family of three."

Zhou Shu called Zhang Yibei and others to come in and take a look.

Zhang Yibei, Wu Laoliu and the others hesitated for a while before a few of them bravely walked in.

As soon as you enter the door, you will find a spacious and bright main room, then two bedrooms, and a room dedicated to bathing.

This is totally a mansion.

Zhang Yibei said in a trembling voice, "Boss Zhou, is this place really for us to live in?"

He has been an apprentice in the Casting Army Division Workshop for more than 20 years, working hard, and his only thought is to buy a house of his own in the capital one day.

The house in front of him was his dream.

Although he knew it belonged to the workshop, he was already satisfied to be able to live here.

Compared with the pigsty-like residence before, this place is heaven.

"Naturally it is true."

Zhou Shu nodded and said, "Not only can you live here, but you can also move in if you have family members. However, some things in the Casting Division are secrets after all. If family members live in, you should pay attention."

Needless to say, the Casting Division has always had this rule. The family members of the casting apprentices can also live in the workshop, but they have to accept the management of the workshop.

It is the dilapidated residences of other workshops, where many apprentices and their families live in them, not to mention the environment in front of them.

"This house, as long as you are still in the Casting Division Workshop, you can live here forever." Zhou Shu said with a smile, "If you have family members coming over, if you want, you can also help with cleaning and cooking. There is also wages to receive.”

"Can I let my mother-in-law come over?"

A young soldier-casting apprentice said loudly.

"sure."

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "The sound insulation of this house is okay, but don't delay your work because of this."

Everyone roared with laughter.

Instead of being embarrassed, the young man was in high spirits.

"No, I'm in good health!"

Zhou Shu snorted, his master is still a single dog, these guys really have no eyesight!

"Okay, Brother Zhang, please count the number of people and give me a list. Then, as for the house, each person will have one set according to the number. You can figure out the layout of the room, and I won't care about it."

"I only have one request, and that is to pay attention to personal hygiene! There is a place to take a shower in the room. After finishing work every day, you must take a shower when you get home, and you have to defecate. If anyone dares to defecate anywhere, don't blame me for not being sympathetic." !"

"Don't worry, boss. If anyone dares to be careless, I, Lao Zhang, will be the first to kick their balls!"

Zhang Yibei said loudly, whoever dares to destroy such a clean and tidy residence will be their enemy!

The rest of the people also shouted loudly, they are now full of expectations for the future life!

They used to eat and live in a small work shed, but now they can have such an independent residence, how can they not cherish it?

"The back yard is where I live. It's fine, so don't go in casually."

Zhou Shu added.

Naturally, everyone has no problem with this point, and they couldn't just enter the residence of the principal.

Just when everyone was discussing about house allocation, Xiao Zongshui, Li Hongyuan and others had already arrived at Workshop No. 0.

When they saw the large factory building of No. 0 Workshop, everyone was really surprised.

They were even more shocked when they saw the residence of the soldier casting apprentices.

It's fine to put the smelting furnace together. Is it necessary to give such a luxurious residence to the soldiers' apprentices?

"Isn't it a waste to let the apprentices of the Forgemen live in such a nice place?"

One of the chiefs muttered in a low voice, "They just need a place to sleep. The Casting Division invited them to work, not to enjoy themselves!"

Although the principal's voice was low, Zhou Shu could still hear it clearly.

The rest of the principals also looked in agreement, Zhou Shu sneered in his heart, he really had the same virtue as the capitalist in his previous life, I made plans for the young man late at night, but the young man was sleeping!

These guys can't wait for the apprentices to work for them without eating, drinking or sleeping.

OK, let you have a taste of it too.

Learn about labor reform?

"Masters, everyone already knows about this mission, so I won't say more."

Zhou Shu said, "The time is tight and the task is heavy. We need everyone to work together to complete this mission."

"If you have any questions, it's best to ask them now."

"If everyone pushes back and forth during the task, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship of my colleagues!"

Zhou Shu's voice turned cold, and his eyes became very sharp, staring at Xiao Zongshui and others.

Xiao Zongshui and the others felt a little nervous, as if they were facing some important person.

"Since everyone is fine, if someone later dares to pick something up and delay the progress of the mission, then General Meng will blame you, so don't blame me for not speaking up for you."

"I can talk about friendship with you, military law, but I won't talk about friendship with you!"

All the principals trembled in their hearts, military law is merciless, if it really comes to that point, none of them can bear that responsibility.

"Don't worry, Master Zhou, I will definitely cooperate with you."

Xiao Zongshui and others cupped their hands in unison.

"Very well, I know that everyone is a sensible person."

Zhou Shu laughed, showing his white teeth, "After the matter is completed, I will definitely report everyone's credit to the general."

For some reason, Xiao Zongshui and the others felt a little scared when they saw Zhou Shu's smile.

"Now let me assign the work that everyone is responsible for." Zhou Shu looked at Xiao Zongshui and the others, and continued, "I hope that everyone will temporarily forget their status as the principal, do things well, and be a new person..."
