Chapter 62 Master Xie's Cultivation (Second Change)

"My lord, everyone has arrived, if there is anything, please tell me!"

In the square in the front yard of Workshop Zero, Zhang Yibei, Wu Laoliu and others stood in line with their heads held high.

Their current vigor and spirit are very different from those a month ago.

Compared with the soldier casting apprentices in other workshops, they are now full of red faces.

It's no wonder that the soldier-casting apprentices in other workshops are busy from morning to night, and they are as tired as dogs every day. How good is their complexion?

As for Zhang Yibei and the others, this month, they only need to work eight hours a day, and even if they work, they also direct other apprentices to work. This sense of accomplishment is unmatched by other jobs.

Zhang Yibei and Wu Laoliu are very glad that they can know Zhou Shu and transfer to No. 0 Workshop.

These days are just for people to live, but before, they were animals!

So now they really respect Zhou Shu in their hearts, as long as Zhou Shu says a word, let them do whatever they want.

"You don't need to be so serious. There is nothing special about calling everyone together this time. It's just that our task this time is almost done. I want to chat with you."

Zhou Shu pressed his hands down and said with a smile.

"Before we get down to business, let's talk about it, how do you feel about staying in Workshop Zero for the past month? Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"

Zhang Yibei, Wu Laoliu and the others glanced at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak up.

"Brother Yibei, tell me first."

Seeing this, Zhou Shu smiled and nodded his name.

Zhang Yibei said with some panic, "Master, you can just call me by my name, don't let me down."

After finishing speaking, he calmed down and said, "After I came to No. 0 workshop, I realized that people can still live like this."

"My lord, I'm not flattering you, but I really think so. This month in Workshop Zero was the happiest time of my life."

"Here, I can eat and sleep enough, I can get off work every day, and I can have my own little nest. My wife and children are warm on the kang. Such a day, Zhang Yibei, I never dared to think about before."

"My lord, if you ask me if I have any dissatisfaction, I can definitely tell my lord, no!"

"In such a day, if someone still feels dissatisfied, then their conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

"Yes, my lord, we are very satisfied with our current life!" Wu Lao Liu and others also shouted loudly.

In a sense, the working people are the most simple. As long as they are given some meager benefits, they can be like cows and horses, and work hard without complaint.

Zhou Shu thinks that the current conditions of No. 0 workshop can only be regarded as mediocre, no matter the accommodation conditions or other treatment, there is no essential difference from the previous sweatshop.

Zhang Yibei and others feel good now, but in fact it is only because they had a bad life before.

"Our No. 0 workshop has just been completed, and the conditions are limited. At present, we can only achieve this. Even if everyone is dissatisfied, I have nothing to do for the time being."

Zhou Shu said with a smile.

The current site of No. 0 Workshop is so big. In order to build this place, Zhou Shu spent all the money on hand. If it wasn’t for the gift from Miziwen before, he still owes the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry a sum. What about foreign debt?

For now, he does not intend to further improve the treatment of Zhang Yibei and others.

However, the salary cannot be improved. In other respects, Zhou Shu has some ideas.

"This time I convene everyone, I also have good news to tell you." Zhou Shu continued.

"After discussing with Da Sikong, we have a clear plan for the future development of our No. 0 Workshop."

Zhang Yibei, Wu Laoliu and others looked at each other in dismay.

planning?

Does this have anything to do with them?

They are just apprentices who are working in the army. Isn't the planning of the workshop something that the masters should worry about?

Just tell them what to do, tell them what to do with the plan?

Zhou Shu shook his head. The thinking of these apprentices still needs to be reformed. Without a sense of ownership, how can they develop the enterprise, no, the workshop well?

Zhou Shu didn't want to put himself in a situation where he had to intervene in every detail, so it was necessary to cultivate a few capable assistants.

"Do you think that the planning of the workshop has nothing to do with you? Do you think that you only need to do your own thing well?"

Zhou Shu said.

Although Zhang Yibei and the others didn't speak, their expressions had already spoken clearly what was in their hearts.

Zhou Shu shook his head and continued, "No. The development plan of Zero Workshop is closely related to each of you."

"Let's put it this way, the development orientation of our No. 0 workshop is the foundation for you to settle down in the future. If you don't even know the development orientation of the workshop, then how can you control your own life?"

Take control of your own life?

Zhang Yibei, Wu Laoliu, etc. were at a loss. Could such high-end vocabulary be related to their rudeness?

They just need to know what to do, right?

Zhou Shu was a little helpless, and it was true that talking to the assembly line workers about the factory's development plan was a bit of nonsense.

"Well, you don't have to worry about it so much for the time being." Zhou Shu said, "The relationship between this matter and you is that the work you will do in the future will change."

"Actually, it's not right to say that it has changed. Let's put it this way, the work you will do in the future is somewhat similar to this month's work."

"My lord, what do you mean, what we want to do in the future, is to go to other workshops to direct their apprentices to make castings?"

"It's not appropriate to say command, another word, guide."

Zhou Shu said, "Yes, it's guidance."

"According to the agreement between me and Da Sikong, No. 0 Workshop will no longer undertake specific casting tasks. Our main task after No. 0 Workshop is to develop and improve standard weapons!"

"ah?"

When it comes to the common sense of casting soldiers, Zhang Yibei and others can understand it, and it is because they understand it that they are shocked.

"Is the Master Master going to drive us back to the original workshop?"

Zhang Yibei, Wu Laoliu and the others were all very nervous and authentic.

After experiencing the days in No. 0 workshop, it is really hard for them to accept them to return to the original workshop.

Among other things, it is the accommodation conditions of No. 0 workshop. Many of them have already brought their families in. If they are driven back to the original workshop, how will the family live?

"of course not."

Zhou Shu shook his head and said.

"But we only know how to forge iron, develop and improve standard weapons, we don't have that ability."

Zhang Yibei said.

They now have a clear understanding of themselves. They are quite good at casting ordinary standard weapons, but developing new standard weapons, or even simply improving the original standard weapons, has exceeded their capabilities.

"I can't learn slowly."

Zhou Shu said, "Besides, you won't, I will."

"At present, your task is very simple. After I develop a new standard weapon, I will teach you the casting method, and then you will go to other workshops and guide other apprentices to start casting."

This way is also the result of Zhou Shu's careful consideration.

The weapons that are developed must eventually be produced on a large scale, but Workshop No. 0 obviously does not have the manpower.

In this way, he had to find a foundry.

Of course, this is all an internal matter of the Casting Division. For Zhou Shu, it is just equivalent to giving a part of the performance to Brother Workshop.

He also discussed this point with Yin Wuyou, and Yin Wuyou didn't have any opinion on it.

For the big shots at the top, it doesn't matter how a thing is done, what matters is the result.

Zhang Yibei and others understood Zhou Shu's explanation.

In fact, just like what they did before, isn't that how they forged the Bailian Huanshou Saber and the Saber Saber?

"If that's the only way, we should be able to do it." Zhang Yibei and the others said, "No, we are desperately trying to complete the entrustment of the master!"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Zhou Shu shook his head, "It's just work."

"In order for everyone to work more efficiently in the future, I asked someone to find some martial arts exercises. Although we are only forging soldiers and don't need to fight with others, I don't need to say much about the importance of martial arts to forging soldiers."

"I don't ask everyone to become an advanced martial artist, but practicing martial arts and strengthening our bodies will also be of great benefit to our casting skills."

"Zhang Yibei, you are responsible for passing on these few martial arts exercises to everyone. Everyone chooses one to practice."

"This matter is very important. It is directly related to your future salary. You must pay attention to it, understand?"

"clear!"

Zhang Yibei carefully took a few books from Zhou Shu, and said solemnly.

His hands trembled slightly.

Martial arts are prosperous in Great Xia. On the surface, everyone has the opportunity to practice martial arts, but opportunities are different from opportunities.

Just like Zhang Yibei and others, in fact, they have practiced some introductory exercises before, but those exercises are the most crude and popular products, which can barely have the effect of strengthening the body. It is difficult.

Now that Zhou Shu even prepared the exercises for them, how could Zhang Yibei not be moved?

He didn't even need to look through it to be sure that the exercises Zhou Shu brought out must be much better than the ones they practiced before.

"Zhang Yibei, thank you, Master Chief, for your kindness in nurturing him!"

Zhang Yibei knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and shouted.

"Thanks for the kindness of the master's cultivation!"

Wu Laoliu and others also moved in unison, shouting in their mouths.

Some people even have tears in their eyes, maybe even if they have the skills, they will not have any future in the martial arts.

But they saw Zhou Shu's importance to them, and also saw the hope of life. At this moment, they felt that they would die for Zhou Shu without the slightest hesitation!

"Hey, it's so lively, why are you kneeling?"

Such a solemn scene was suddenly completely destroyed by a voice.

"Zhang Yibei, let's take everyone down. Let's choose the exercises and choose the one that suits you. If you don't understand something, you can ask me at any time."

Zhou Shu waved his hand, motioning for Zhang Yibei and the others to step back, then his eyes fell on the gate, "Why are you here?"
