Chapter 6 Taking over the Workshop
Li Xian was a shocking hit. From the next day, a business called "Bright Stars" appeared. The decoration of the store was unique! Floor-to-ceiling glass windows, gorgeous lighting, and spacious, bright, atmospheric and noble decoration; but there were only a dozen items of goods, which were quite empty.
But these dozen items have caused competition. These things are not expensive, the cheapest ones are only a few taels of silver, and the most expensive ones are not more than one hundred taels. It’s just that there are too many people who want to buy them. For many nobles, of course, the more things that decorate the storefront are better.
For a time, this newly established Brilliant Star Trading Company became a vegetable market.
The person in charge of the management of the business is Li Youwei; as for Li Xian, he has taken over the entire workshop in full. In terms of business, Li Xian can perform well with just a few words - this ability makes Li Xian admire him. He is worthy of being the one who was in charge of the Li family workshop in the past, but his qualifications for cultivation are not very good.
What Li Xian has to do now is two things, one thing is to continue to develop the Jade Lantern Workshop; now the Jade Lantern Workshop has been officially named: Cai Lantern Workshop.
The second thing is to reorganize the entire Li Family Workshop. The success of the lantern workshop made the rest of the workshops red.
Song Gang, who forged the workshop, Liu Bin, who was from the wooden workshop, Tang Rong, a mid-stage foundation-building monk in the magic tool workshop, and He Lin, Aunt He from the textile workshop, all blocked Li Xian's door. Sun Ming proudly received his former "colleague".
Li Xian calmly received everyone, and when he saw everyone's anxious eyes, he became more and more calm. "Don't worry, seniors, since Li Xian took over this workshop, he must consider it for everyone. It's just that the kid's ability is limited, and many things need to be done step by step.
Now, I want to know the areas that all the seniors are good at.”
Song Gang was impatient at first, "What is good at? What I am best at is ironwork. In the entire Wuyang City, I dare say that it is firmly in the top three, and even the royal craftsmen may not be stronger than me."
"Yes, Xiaoxian, almost everyone here is the best in Wuyang City. You don't have to doubt our abilities." Aunt He Lin was also a little dissatisfied.
"Yes, yes." Tang Ronghe and Liu Bin also agreed.
Li Xian said intimately, it is a strong foundation, a big pie. But it seems that these people are also unruly masters. Although they are engaged in "lowly careers", they are also proud. Well, if you want to conquer these people, you must show off your skills!
Thinking of this, Li Xian first pointed at Song Gang, "Senior Song, the boy dared to ask a few questions.
How many reasons determine the quality of iron tools?”
"Hmph, a small problem, iron purity, quenching temperature, forging times, and forging uniformity, these are the four most important types!"
"Okay, can you have a proud work for me?"
"Yes! It's just hanging on the walls of the forging workshop, there are quite a few!"
Li Xian suddenly laughed, "Senior, I have seen the materials and steps for your steelmaking. I provide two methods here, senior, you can try it.
The first method is to make a lot of molten iron and start stirring until no bubbles appear and brown steam appears.
The second method is to add a little quicklime.”
"Add quicklime?" Song Gang laughed, "Can you still need to bleach? Haha..."
"Why don't you try it?"
"Okay, I'll try it." Song Gang said that he did it and left very openly.
Then Li Xian looked at the rest of the people, "Aunt He, how many pieces of cloth can you produce in the textile workshop at most a day?"
"If it is not counted in quality, you can woven up to 120 linens."
"Then is Aunt He able to produce 12,000 pieces of cloth a day?"
"That's impossible. Unless you use immortal methods, the Supreme Immortal will not use immortal methods to do these low-key karma." He Lin was already a little annoyed.
Li Xian smiled and turned to the carpenter Liu Bin, "Senior Liu, are you the looms made by you?"
"Yes. Why, does the young master have anything to give me?" Liu Bin's tone was a little sarcastic. Obviously, Li Xian's fingers made these "experts" very dissatisfied.
"I really need some advice!" Li Xian stood up unwillingly, "I have seen your loom, all of which are operated by personal operations. Why don't you enlarge the loom, let the special silk reels responsible for the silk reels, and the special spinning of the spinning of the yarn. Let the heavy movements of the pedals be independent, and let the middle-aged man be responsible?"
"Young Master, you said it simply, but if making such a loom is too expensive and it is easy to cause problems. You must not say that you use spells to solve it. Only the royal imperial edicts and some cloths for crowns are made of spell textiles, and the output is very low."
Li Xian smiled confidently, "Let's wait a moment and talk about it when Senior Song Gang comes back."
Li Xian sat back and began to close his eyes to rest; but he felt in his heart that there are magic and practice in this world, which makes many things simple, such as cutting jade, making some basic tools, such as general smelting and forging.
Sure enough, just one hour later, Song Gang knocked open the door, holding some swords and iron embryos in his hand, and had not had time to polish it.
After seeing Li Xian who was resting with his eyes closed, Song Gang smirked a few times, and finally put the iron embryo on the table in front of Li Xian, and then spoke embarrassedly, "The young master's method is really good, it's really good; the last time he borrowed the help of Tang Rong's magic weapon workshop, he was at the current level. That time he built a weapon for his guards in the Qi Refining Period."
Seeing that the most proud Song Gang had surrendered, everyone finally had a different look at Li Xian.
Li Xian opened his eyes and looked around, "Seniors, I don't know much, but I see a lot. How the workshop will develop in the future depends on your efforts. What I can provide is just a little idea.
Next, I will announce that the elites from various workshops will be drawn to set up research centers, which will be responsible for improving tools, production efficiency, products, etc.
In addition, all workshops are rectified by referring to the lantern workshop and a dividend mechanism is established.
But the ugly words are ahead. If anyone dares to be lazy, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I, Li Xian, have never killed anyone!"
Yes, Li Xian has killed anyone, but Li Xian in this world has really killed anyone.
Everyone nodded, and even Tang Rong, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, had to nod. Although he was considered a little master in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was still far behind the Li family.
"Senior Tang Rong, I want to learn the formations and methods of making magic tools from my seniors. Although I am only in the Qi Refining Stage, I think this does not prevent me from understanding the formations in advance, or even more advanced talismans, etc.."
"Extremely happy!" Tang Rong smiled happily. Look at Li Ming now, I don't know how many people have envied. Being a master once before the young master fully grows up is a big advantage.
Under Li Xian's control, the Li Family Workshop was officially renamed the "Bright Star" Workshop. Li Xian was responsible for the production part and Li Youwei was responsible for the sales part. After a few days of trouble, all structural forms were decided, and the workshop began to undergo tremendous changes; among them, Li Xian specially proposed the simple numbers and calculation methods that are common to the earth, which provided countless conveniences for the research of formations.
