Chapter 10 Bricks are also a business

Chapter 10

Cheng Chusi heard that Qin Huaidao could burn 50,000 bricks in a kiln, so he was so shocked that he wanted to go and see it now.

"I can't see anything when I go to see it now? It's raining heavily! The brick factory either seals the kiln or is still filling it. You can't see anything. Besides, the roads are muddy and it's not easy to walk. It's not too late to see it when the sky clears up!" Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Chusi with a smile, not in a hurry.

"Well, that's fine, it's really impossible to spend so much money?" Cheng Chusi saw that it was raining heavily outside, and gave up the idea of ​​going over to see it now. He couldn't help but sit down, pick up the tea cup, and saw that tea leaves were placed inside.

"Hmm? What's going on with the servant? He actually fooled people?" Cheng Chusi was unhappy. Tea was not cooked like this. It requires a lot of things to be added, such as bean flour, salt, etc.

"Brother Cheng, let's talk about it!" Qin Huaidao said, and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Can you drink?" Cheng Chusi looked at Qin Huai with some doubts.

"Of course!" Qin Huaidao nodded confidently. Seeing that he was like this, Cheng Chusi also picked him up and took a sip.

"Well, it's quite fresh, hiss, there's a fragrance of tea!" Cheng Chusi said again and pursed his lips: "No, this is a good way to drink it, that, how to make tea leaves? I think these leaves are very complete, different from the previous tea leaves!"

"Well, I made it myself, my brother likes it. Take some back and taste it!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile, and took a sip himself.

"If you want it, add some water to this!" Cheng Chusi said as he gave the teacup to the maid next to him, then turned to look at Qin Huaidao and asked, "It really doesn't cost much money?"

Qin Huaidao heard this, smiled and put down the teacup, then shook his head and said, "Brother, the Qin Mansion will not only say tens of thousands of guan, but it will be difficult to get it even if it is a few thousand guan. Don't you think about the people who spread rumors outside?"

"That's right, but I'm talking about Boping. If there are really many blue bricks, this is a business. You have to know that many people who want to buy blue bricks need to queue up.

And you can get 50,000 bricks at a time, and at the current price, it is only 15 or jin of money. With so many brick kilns, you can still be able to get the kiln once every half a month. In this way, you will have a few hundred jin of money in a month, which is very good!" Cheng Chusi thought of this and said carefully at Qin Huaidao.

"Well, I didn't plan to make a lot of money with this before, so I just thought, just forget it after finishing my farm. But now, since you said that, I really have to make up for it!" Qin Huaidao was sitting there and thinking about it at this moment.

"I think it's OK, why can't it be? They will definitely be happy to give wages to those merchants. It would be nice to earn 50 guan a month if it's not good!" Cheng Chusi leaned back and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, let's do it. Others spend three bricks per cent, and my family spend five bricks per cent, and the amount is too large. I believe there is still a business. It costs about 10 guan in a kiln. I have 10 kilns, which will not be less than 200 guan a month? Hiss, is it a little more? It will be jealous!" Qin Huaidao thought for a moment, turned his head and said to Cheng Chusi.

"No, I tell you, there are very few people who make blue bricks. Except for the Ministry of Works, ordinary people cannot do it at all. Moreover, the Ministry of Works is not happy to do this. They have taken too long to buy them, so we have to queue up, and they don't supply enough for the government!

Of course, the profit of 200 yuan a month may not be enough. If it is too much, it is better to reduce it. For example, if you spend ten bricks per penny, I think it is OK.

After deducting the wages, I guess it would be good to have seventy or eighty stags in a month. And if you spend 10 bricks per cent, I believe that many wealthy families in Chang'an City will buy them, and even in our mansion, they will buy them. I will calculate it. By the way, how many bricks and tiles are needed for a house on your side?" Cheng Chusi enthusiastically helped Qin Huaidao calculate.

He also hopes that Qin Huaidao can make some money. In recent years, the Qin Mansion has indeed suffered a lot and has no industry.

"Well, a house costs about 50,000 bricks!" Qin Huaidao thought about it and said to Cheng Chusi.

"That's the capital of 10 guan?" Cheng Chusi asked as he looked at Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao nodded.

"Well, that's not expensive, it's very cheap! Even ordinary people will buy it if they save enough money!" Cheng Chusi slapped his thigh and said.

"Really?" Qin Huaidao asked in a little uncertainty.

"Really, that's it! At that time, our village will also buy some blue bricks and build a house!" Cheng Chusi nodded affirmatively. A house worth 10 kilns is really not expensive for Cheng Mansion.

But he wouldn't buy so many blue bricks to build for the merchants. After all, the Cheng Mansion has 1,300 households, which is twice as fast as the Qin Mansion. If he really wants to build it, the money for bricks alone will be more than ten thousand yuan.

"Brother Cheng, don't buy it. In this way, you pay the wages and I will burn it here. Just pull it over. There are many villages in your house, and I guess all of them will be built, and it won't exceed 1,000 guan!" Qin Huaidao said, not wanting to make money from Cheng's mansion at all.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao are three of them as close as brothers. If there is something wrong with their own house, both of them will stand up as soon as possible. How can they make their money?

"Be serious, my brother is going to build it. Let me tell you, the mansion is worried about building a house now. You should say earth rammed, the roof is covered with thatch, and it won't take a few years to deal with it. If it is snowy, the roof will collapse!

After going back and forth, the rammed houses would be broken in a few years! The blue brick houses would be solid. If you say that, I will really build all the blue brick houses!" Cheng Chusi looked at Qin Huaidao very moved and asked.

"Okay, then you call Mr. Chi Baolin, let's build our three families together. I'll just build more than ten or twenty kilns. Just take out the wages! It won't cost much!" Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Chusi with a smile.

"Then it's decided. Not to mention 1,000 guan, 2,000 guan must be built. If it is built, how much trouble will be saved? Otherwise, it will snow every year and save disasters every year!" Cheng Chusi said as he patted his thigh and made up his mind.

"It's done, that's it. When the sky clears, we'll go there together. I'll make some kilns!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile. He was also happy to be able to help their mansion. Finally, he could repay some favors.

Three days later, the sky cleared, Qin Huaidao, Yuchi Baolin, and Cheng Chusi rode out of the city, and first arrived at Xia Qinzhuang.

At this time, there were already more than ten houses here, with green tiles on them, and some people from the village moved in.

Otherwise, living in the warehouse would be too crowded, but it has not been allocated yet. Once it is allocated, they will need to move out.

"Young Master is here!"

"Hello, Master!"

"Young Master, please slow down, the road is slippery!"

Those dealers and women who were working, when they saw Qin Huaidao and the others coming, they greeted each other enthusiastically, and some even came down to salute Qin Huaidao.

"Okay, okay, work first, just be polite!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile to the people, while Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baoqi were amazed in their hearts.

Because there are dozens of houses under construction here, both men and women go up to work.

Some are mixing white things and sand, some are carrying the mixed sand in wooden buckets, some are building walls, some are building tiles on the roof, and even those small children are mixing bricks!

"So many blue bricks!" They saw that the blue bricks had been stacked in front of the foundations that had not yet been built!

Both of them have believed what Qin Huaidao said now, otherwise they would not have been able to get so many blue bricks.

"Boping, what is the use of this thing?" Cheng Chusi said, pointing at the limes and asked at Qin Huaidao.

"Oh, this is lime, it is to glue those bricks, so that the walls are stronger, much stronger than the yellow mud in the past!" Qin Huaidao immediately explained that there was no such thing as the Tang Dynasty.

"Oh, isn't it expensive?" Yuchi Baolin heard it and asked with concern.

"It's not expensive, I'm also burning it myself!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"Okay, I really didn't expect that Boping, you have such a high attainment in studying things, which is amazing!" When Yuchi Baolin heard this, she couldn't help but exclaim.

Then Qin Huaidao took them to the brick factory, and there was a kiln to open today.

And it has been opened and people have not yet entered. Cheng Chusi and the others saw that a large number of brick embryos had been piled up on the brick embryos. They were shocked, even at the speed of brick embryos being made.

They didn't expect that the brick embryo could be made so quickly.

After the brick kiln in Kaifeng could be entered, Cheng Chusi and the others went in and looked at it. They found that there were dense blue bricks inside. Now the farmers were carrying the blue bricks out and dragging them to the village with a cart. Many children were here to help.

"Boping, build a brick kiln, we have to bear the workers' wages, and I have to build such a thing too!" After reading it, Yuchi Baolin also said to Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, building, it won't cost much money at this speed. If it's built, there will be no need to worry so much when it snows heavily in winter!" Cheng Chusi nodded and said. Now they completely believed Qin Huaidao. Everything is placed here, and they can't believe it.

A few days later, Qin Huaidao once again directed the merchants to build a new brick kiln, and the two mansions also sent a large number of merchants to the brick factory and started making brick embryos!

Qin Huaidao didn't care about these things, but returned to the mansion and continued to read his books. When he had time, he would write the dictionary. Now Qin Jiao and Qin Shandao can use pinyin well and know a lot of words. They would occasionally come to read the dictionary written by Qin Huaidao.
