Chapter 11 The Counselor

Li Xianzheng was engrossed in listening, and immediately replied after hearing the question: "Of course not!"

Xu Ren continued: "Yes, of course it is impossible to manage by relying on only a few people. Therefore, a new class has emerged in the world, and this is - scholars.

Those in charge of government orders and daily management are called scribes.

Those in charge of military combat, and everything related to combat, are called samurai.

Those who are responsible for making plans and part-time management are called counselors.

Those who are responsible for calculating good and bad luck, divination, medical treatment, etc. are called alchemists.

There are also some capable but not fixed-purpose ones, called diners.

Xu is the counselor.

And as a strategist, I must ensure that my strategy is adopted and applied. If a protagonist has correct suggestions but cannot adopt them, and has no respect for capable counselors, then Xu must find another job.

What does the young master think? "

Li Xian got up immediately, poured the tea himself, and held the teacup in front of Xu Ren, "Sir, I will leave all the strategies of the boy to the sir."

Xu Ren picked up the teacup and drank it down, "Okay."

Sitting down again, Li Xian began to show a different side of himself, much calmer: "Since Mr. chooses the boy, he must have observed it for a long time. Could you please comment on the boy?"

"Okay." Xu Ren did his part, "You in the past don't need to comment, but now you seem to have been woken up. I read your experiences these days.

First, being able to stay in the workshop for 108 days shows that you are calm, and you can lower your figure and get along with the craftsmen in harmony.

Second, with the appearance of colored lights, and what you said earlier, I think you have unlimited potential.

Third, your identity determines that your current development will be smooth; but it is also your identity that will make your future development a little bumpy. "

"Oh, there will be difficulties in development in the future? Does sir have a solution?"

Xu Ren smiled confidently: "Don't worry, there will be a chance in a short time. I will solve it for you then."

"Boy, I have something to ask my husband. The thing is, it won't take long, at most until next spring, the boy will be able to produce 10,000, or even 100,000 pieces of cloth a day, and the quality will reach that of the superior products of the same fabric on the market today. , and the price will only be the price of low-grade cloth.

So, I need more people, reliable people, but not too much. The only requirement is to work all year round, and I can give twice the salary in the market.

In addition, more raw materials are needed, a larger market is needed, and the impact caused by this must also be considered. How do you think it should be resolved? "

A blockbuster was dropped on Xu Ren's head. This is definitely not a small problem.

Xu Ren didn't ask Li Xian if he could really do it, or if he assumed a proposition for himself to solve, but thought about it seriously. This is a counselor, just solve the problem!

There was silence in the gazebo for a while, Xu Ren closed his eyes and was thinking, and after a while, a little sweat dripped down his head.

About half an hour passed, Xu Ren finally opened his tired eyes, "Master, Xu thinks it's okay to do this.

The first is the problem of manpower. It is entirely possible to go to the private sector to recruit weaving women. In this way, it not only solves the impact of a large amount of cloth on the folk, but also finds a good helper. These folk women are basically more reliable.

As for raw materials, it is entirely possible to purchase them at an appropriate high price, or to exchange cloth for raw materials to achieve a cooperative relationship between the two parties. This can also solve the sales problem of part of the cloth.

Finally, contact the dignitaries, contact more businessmen, and share the cake together. The young master's cloth output will inevitably increase in the future, and it is not enough to rely on his own sales. And if you want to expand the market, you must have friends.

If it is just a business connection, anyone can cooperate, and there is no question of position. The young master can contact everyone who can! "

After listening to Xu Ren's words, Li Xian burst out laughing, "Sir, you are so talented, you can come up with such a near-perfect solution in such a short period of time, and it is even more perfect than what the boy thought of. All three strategies are multi-purpose. .

Mr.'s annual fixed salary is 50 taels of gold. Other benefits, rewards, etc., are not included.

As for the reward for Mr.'s strategy this time, the boy will give Mr.... 100 taels, gold! "

"Thank you, Young Master, for your appreciation." Xu Ren finally showed a relaxed smile, knowing that he had really passed Li Xian's test. The previous tea just entered the threshold - don't look at Li Xian's nice words, but it's just nice, but now it is really reused.

"Sir, wait a moment, I'm going to say goodbye to my father, and I'll take you to the workshop."

"I, Xu Ren, swear to God that everything I saw here with the young master will be kept secret, and I will not mention a single word to outsiders."

Li Xian went to visit his father first, then Yang Zhong, and then took Xu Ren to the workshop. Along the way, Li Xian realized that this Xu Ren is also a talent, and he has already reached the middle stage of foundation establishment.

After arriving at the workshop, Xu Ren saw the loom spinning by himself, and the weavers chatting leisurely; he also saw the lively jade workshop, the enthusiastic iron workshop, and even the unprecedented mechanical workshop And the magic weapon workshop that is "not doing business properly"-almost everyone in the magic weapon workshop has done research.

In the next few days, Li Xian took Xu Ren around; Xu Ren was also trying to learn to accept the things and ideas here. Every day, Xu Ren left the laboratory in excitement.

Another ten days later, the research on the engine went further, from a height of three feet and a length of one foot to a height of one foot and a length of three feet, and the power was increased to two horsepower. The workshop was full of enthusiastic cheers. Although an engine of this size is far from meeting Li Xian's expectations, it already has considerable practical value.

The loom finally has the conditions for mass production. And the first machine tool with an engine was born.

The birth of machine tools means that the industry has a "hen".

But in the process of describing the formation, Li Xian actually realized something again. At the moment when the engine research was successful, his cultivation level increased to the seventh level of the Qi refining period.

It's just that the research has encountered a very critical problem now, that is-the formation here depends on jade; and jade is a natural material, and its texture is not fixed. As a result, the carving of each formation must be done by hand. In this way, the scale development is seriously restricted.

"Can the carving be done with a machine?" When Li Xian raised this question, he denied it.

If you want to carve the formation, you need your spiritual sense to perceive the lines and veins in the jade, and then draw the formation along the veins; in some places where the veins are broken or not smooth, you need to use real essence to repair them.

In short, such difficulties have caused the "mass production" of the engine to fall into a bottleneck.

"Can you take out the spiritual veins separately and make the wires for the spiritual veins?" This thought suddenly popped into Li Xian's mind.
