Chapter 16 Yangjia Shoe Factory

Time passed by between Yang Meng and Cen Yuying's answers. Yang Meng had a general idea of ​​his career, and Zhang Coach also made a pair of shoes that were beyond his eye.

Yang Meng tried it on and it felt pretty good. Although he looked a little ugly, he was still comfortable to wear.

"Zhang Coach, how much money can you and the copper smith make in a month?"

Since Zhang Pijiang and his friends have the skills, it is better to use it. It is also good to open a shoe factory. If you make such military boots, you will not have to worry about having no sales and make pocket money.

"It's hard to say. When you have too much work, you can earn three or five taels a month. When you have not much work, you can earn half a month of meals. Sometimes copper smiths are not as good as me. There are many people in Kunming City who do their work."

Seeing that the third grandfather of the Yang family was happy, Zhang Coach also let go and whispered to Yang Meng's question.

"Then follow me and I will give you five taels a month. Would you like?"

Whether this shoe factory can be opened or not doesn’t matter to Yang Meng. His focus is on his profession. Opening this shoe factory is nothing more than making himself feel more comfortable.

Yang Meng thought it well, but Zhang Coach was a little unwilling to do so. The reputation of the third grandfather of the Yang family was so scary. If you follow him, you might be beaten to death one day. But five taels of silver a month was also a big temptation, so Zhang Coach was a little undecided.

"Don't you want to work for the Yang family in Kunming?"

I didn't expect that I couldn't play around in Kunming, and no one dared to ask for money. This was not a good thing. I happened to use the opening of a shoe factory to gain my reputation in Kunming.

"Do work for Mr. Yang Fo, do it even if you don't give money!"

This cobbler's words are a bit annoying. He does nothing but pays for anything. His reputation is so bad?

Zhang Pijiang also has no scheming. With such a huge reputation in Kunming, Mr. Yang is doing big business at home. Can he treat himself badly? Following Mr. Yang, ordinary Kunming bullies do not dare to provoke him, and the money he earns is all his own.

"The money will not be less. You can summon a few more cobblers and copper smiths, one or two, and ten or eight, and if you can gather together, you can go to the Yang Family Wuzhuang to find Lao Ding, and he will arrange it for you."

Ding Baojun, who was beside him, nodded, it was true that the dashing king was scary, but Mr. Ding of the Yang family said that he could count it in Kunming. When Zhang Coach got great benefits, he naturally smiled happily.

"Don't be happy first. Make the third master's shoes better. When you go to Yangjia Wuzhuang, take them to the third master. If you can't do it well, don't think of any good things."

Ding Baojun felt that Yang Meng was suffering from hiring a group of cobblers and copper smiths for five taels a month, but this man was suffering from the first time he did a serious business.

"Yuying, you can record the process of making shoes and leave the technical work to these masters. You can hire some apprentice workers to do other rough work, so you can make shoes faster."

Cen Yuying, the Yiliang clerk, has temporarily become Yang Meng's housekeeper. Whether this little boy will kill him or not. After seeing the old clerk of Yiliang, Yang Meng can only make a decision. It is not a good thing to be too suspicious.

It would be a pity if Cen Yuying really wanted to follow him, killing him with one knife. The most important thing is that he has no foundation now. As an indigenous person, Cen Yuying still has considerable use, even if he wants to kill him, he has to wait until he squeezed out his oil and water.

Cen Yuying was not disgusted with Yang Meng's instructions. He could get a pair of strange-shaped boots in just a few words, which was somewhat inconsistent with the name of Daibawang.

Cen Yuying also heard about Yang Meng's enlightenment, and he also wanted to see what great things could be like for this enlightenment person. Although he delayed the exam this year with Yang Meng, Cen Yuying felt that relying on the Yang family's big tree is definitely a shortcut.

Yang Meng thought about it in the yard, and the shoe factory also needed a tailor, so he simply hired a few of the best tailors in Kunming City and got them into the shoe factory together so that he would not have to spend time.

With all the staff, Lao Ding has solved the problem of raw materials. The next step is to choose the factory site. This site is a big deal. The purpose of building this shoe factory is to hide his drug manufacturing factory. Wuzhuang is definitely not a good place. As for where it is built, Yang Meng needs to go and inspect it himself.

"Uncle Ding, you can place these people in Wuzhuang first. It's okay if you don't want to live at home in Wuzhuang. First, give them two months of wages as a settlement fee. When the shoe factory is built, they have to go to work on time."

Yang Meng's words made Ding Baojun confused. He was a shoe factory and worked, but he didn't understand what his third master meant.

"San Master, do you want them to work?"

Two months' wages are not a small amount for these craftsmen. They don't work without working, and they can't argue wherever they go.

"No need to do it now. You are free and rich. Do you know people who are familiar with Kunming's terrain? Find it for me, it will be useful!"

The location selection of a drug manufacturing factory must be secretive and conducive to defense. It will definitely take a lot of time to find it. If you find someone familiar with Kunming geography, the problem of location selection will be much simpler.

"This is easy to deal with. Just ask the county magistrate to help. There is nothing more familiar with Kunming's geography than them."

Ding Baojun felt that this was not a matter, so he could easily solve the problem by looking for a few clerks.

"If you can't find someone from the government, it's better to be your own. I want to build a secret shoe factory."

When Yang Meng heard this, he became very angry. He asked the court to choose a site for his drug manufacturing workshop. Isn’t this a problem? He can’t let the old man at home know about using opium to make drugs. His team is not useful. It’s easy to say but difficult to do!

"San Ye, there is an unemployed old clerk in Kunming. He followed his former governor Wu Qijun. At that time, Governor Wu went to many places in Yunnan to compile the "A Brief Map of Mines in Southern Yunnan". This old clerk made great efforts in it, and this person should be available."

Why can't Cen Yuying separate himself from the old clerk? It's very useful to say it from the left and right. What exactly does this kid want to do?

"Yu Ying! Why are you quarreling with this old clerk? Didn't you come to Yunnan to study?"

This question really needs to be asked clearly, otherwise it would be difficult to determine Cen Yuying's purpose.

"Students are studying to be officials. If they want to be good officials of the Qing Dynasty, having poetry and books is just one of them. The most important thing is to serve the government. The old clerks from all over the country are the best teachers. When students are idle on weekdays, they spend most of their time on these old clerks."

There is no need to hide these things, so Cen Yuying answered truthfully.

"Not bad! Yuying, you are very good. Whose name is this old clerk? What is the family background? Can it be used?"

If it is true as Cen Yuying said, then this kid is really useful. It seems that what he said is probably true. If this is true, this kid will be unable to kill easily.

"This old clerk is named Jiang Shuxian. He is not very successful. He is over fifty years old this year. His family is not well off. He just relies on dozens of acres of thin fields at home to make ends meet. If the price given by the Third Master is right, there should be no problem with Jiang Shuxian."

Cen Yuying not only learned things from these old clerks, but also understood their family background clearly. If he came to Yunnan to become an official, this kid would be limitless!

"Uncle Ding, give me five hundred silver dollars! Yu Ying, give you these silver dollars, you can do whatever you want. These five hundred silver dollars are at your disposal. The rest is yours. As a result, I only have one, and Jiang Shu has contributed to the Yang family for half his life. Of course, these are just set money, and I will pay his salary in the future."

After Yang Meng's salary was expressed, Cen Yuying was also a little confused. He wanted Jiang Shu to work hard first with 500 silver dollars. Is it a little less?

"San Ye, how do you understand the word "salary"? The students don't understand very well."

"It's just how much money you pay in a month, what do you call it?"

"Monthly salary!"

Now Cen Yuying understood that the 500 silver dollars were just the silver liang he asked Jiang Shu to come out first, and the Yang family would pay it after the monthly salary, so the 500 silver dollars were basically his own.

"The Yang family will pay his monthly salary after that, and the same is true for yours. You can set a price yourself, as long as it is not outrageous."

Yang Meng is not sure about the income of the Yang family, but my son Yang Shiqin donated hundreds of thousands of silver a year, and his income is definitely several times or even dozens of times this amount. Money should not be a problem for the Yang family.

"Then the student will do it now! Don't worry, this matter is almost certain."

With Yang Meng's promise, Cen Yuying also had the motivation. After staying in the Yang family for a few years, he would have the foundation for becoming an official in the future. Whether or not the Yang family supports it is not too big.

After leaving Cen Yuying, Ding Baojun couldn't help it anymore. The boy named Cen was very scheming and was not a good thing. He still wanted to persuade the third master. Most of these things were ungrateful, so he had to be careful!

"Third Master, Cen Yuying is too erect and is not a suitable human being. If you can, don't use it, you won't use it. I'm afraid he will disobey the Lord in the future!"

Lao Ding’s concerns are not overwhelming. It is true that Cen Yuying is easy to use. He can reuse him in the past two days. He is indeed very capable, but the more capable a person is, the more difficult it is to control him. Yang Meng also understands this very well.

"It's okay! This kid still has oil and water. When it's squeezed out, it's not too late to kill him if he doesn't match up."

After hearing Yang Meng's words, Ding Baojun was relieved. The master's methods were good.

The shoes were made of eyebrows and the choice of the factory site was also given. It was no more interesting to stay in Kunming City. The whole Kunming City was a little disliked, and Yang Meng didn't want to stay too long, not to mention that the injuries on the back of his head had not yet healed, so he should go back to Wuzhuang first and think about the drug manufacturing factory.

The three people who went out shopping also came back. They did not spend half of the silver dollars in full leather bags.

"Didn't you let you go out to buy things? You didn't spend a penny. What did you buy? Take it out and I'll take it."

Who are these people? You won’t spend money even if you give them money, it’s so worrying.

"Third Master, Miss Tang has nothing to buy, and we brothers and sisters have nothing to buy. After a walk around, we came back."

"Useless things, you can do whatever you want, you can't even spend a lot of money, and you can kill a person who can't go back to Wuzhuang with me!"

Ma Qinghu is too real for his own team, and Cen Yuying is too smart. If he can correct it, things will be beautiful.

If you don’t buy things, don’t buy them! Your own business is already in sight, your career is the foundation, and going back to prepare for building a factory is a big deal.
