Early the next morning, Bi Laosan came with the craftsman who invented movable clay type. As soon as he entered, Zhang Sun Chong, Dugu Xiude, and Yuchi Huan came hand in hand. With them were nine craftsmen, three from each family.
personal.
Although Li Mu has reiterated the concept of making money together and sharing it together, the selfish concept deep in his bones will not disappear so easily. Who would be willing to succumb to others for such a big thing as learning the secret method of making salt. If all of them were learned by the eldest grandson family, the rest
People are still not allowed to lift their noses from generation to generation?
No one is willing to do this kind of thing. They don't dare to argue in front of Li Mu. The three companies of Datang Mining are a lesson learned from the past, and they are scolded. So the three companies combined, three in three, nine in one, and no one wanted to
Suffer.
Because of this, the three families arrived a little late. In Zhuluhou Mansion, there was no such thing as jumping in line. Since Bi Laosan came first, they had no choice but to wait.
The concierge Zhao Youcai received them. As the saying goes, the third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. Although Li Mu was not the prime minister, and Zhao Youcai was not a third-rank official, Zhao Youcai had tempered himself since he received Li Tai and gave Li Tai a bowl of noodle soup.
, no matter what kind of dignitaries you receive, you can do it without being disrespectful. This is actually a psychological effect. I have already received princes. No matter how noble you are, can you be more noble than the emperor's own son?
The three of them sat in the lobby. The weather in winter was getting colder day by day, but the lobby of Zhuluhou Mansion did not feel cold at all. As the inventor of the Pan Kang and the fire wall, of course Li Mu had to implement it in his own home first, which was just right.
He still had money and nowhere to spend it, so he renovated every room in Zhuluhou Mansion.
The world is really unfair. Li Mu was not short of money and wanted to spend money, but he did not spend a penny on the renovation project from beginning to end. The craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry regarded being able to work at Zhuluhou Mansion as a
For an honor, who will take his money, who dares to take his money? If he really takes it, won't he be scolded to death when he goes back? The Marquis gave us hard-working craftsmen a bowl of rice to eat while doing corvee labor
You can still make money when you are young, but you don’t want to repay, how dare you ask for the Marquis’ money, and still call yourself a human being?
When Li Mu heard Li Zhien talking about these things, he was pleased and distressed. He was pleased with the simplicity of the craftsmen and knew how to repay their kindness, but he was distressed that he had no place to spend his money. In his previous life, an expert once said that the most important thing in life is
The painful thing is that people die and money is not spent. In the foreseeable future, more and more money will inevitably be made. If you are unable to draw pictures and attract people to covet you, your life will lose motivation.
Not long after the three of them sat down, Dugu Jiu came over. His father came to the door. As a son, of course he had to come out to see him. But he was still wearing a mask. This mask was a new mask made for him by Li Mu.
It covers the entire face, only the mouth and nose, and looks like a mask. It is set in the system that the principle of changing the sound of the voice changer is to change the airflow exhaled by the mouth and nose, so such a half-face mask can also have the same effect.
effect.
Dugu Jiu, who had half of his face covered, had clear features and delicate features. He didn't have much of a masculine aura. Instead, he looked a bit like Wang Ou wearing a veil. Among the other two people present, Chang Sun Chong had seen Dugu Jiu, but he didn't.
I saw Dugu Jiu wearing half a mask. At first glance, I couldn't help but have some wild thoughts about the relationship between Li Mu and Dugu Jiu. Could it be that this guy has the power of Long Yang?
Although he thought so, Changsun Chong didn't think so. Long Yang's goodness and his habit of cutting sleeves were not derogatory terms in the minds of the ancients, but rather a relatively complimentary term. The goodness of sex has existed since ancient times.
Since the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, how many literati, poets, high-ranking officials and nobles have had this hobby. It has not affected the world's reputation for them at all. Instead, it has become a good story and shows their romantic status.
What Changsun Chong was thinking was that he didn't realize that an old guy like Dugu Xiude could actually spend such a huge amount of money, even giving away his own son in order to curry favor with Li Mu.
He was convinced of this. Li Mu's rage for Dugu Jiu yesterday was still fresh in his memory. If he was just an ordinary brother or bodyguard, could he have done this?
Changsun Chong thought secretly in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he nodded kindly to Dugujiu, showing that he and Dugujiu were familiar with each other. But his little thoughts were completely useless. Yuchi Huan had no idea at all.
He didn't even look at him. From the moment he entered the lobby, he sat upright like a sculpture, looking straight ahead, not caring about the things around him.
Dugu Xiude didn't know the dirty thoughts in Changsun Chong's heart, and he was a little complacent. When you tried your best to curry favor with Zhuluhou, I was calm and composed, and there was no need to worry at all, because my son is now in Zhuluhou's mansion. What's the matter?
What's the benefit? How can I be without my Dugu family? He even thought in his mind that if this continues, given time, the Dugu family will definitely rise to prominence again in the circle of Guanlong nobles, and even if it is not as good as the Changsun family, it will still be able to sit firmly in the second place.
No one dares to underestimate him.
To achieve this goal, we must count on Li Mu. The first thing to do is to show that he has a close relationship with Li Mu. Dugu Xiude rolled his eyes, winked at his son, and said: "Jiu'er, the Marquis is here now.
do what?"
"Go back to father, my eldest brother is inspecting the craftsmen brought by Bi Jianzheng."
Changsun Chong took over and said: "I know this. Yesterday when I was drinking tea with Lord Marquis in the world of heaven and earth, we met Bi Jianzheng, the printing supervisor. It is said that a craftsman invented the clay movable type. Not only was the printing clear, but it was also
More durable. The Marquis said that he would test it today and if what he said was true, he would reward the craftsman. Didn’t Uncle Dugu know that? Oh, yes, when we drank tea yesterday, I was the only one present and neither of you was there, haha..."
Yuchihuan glanced at Changsun Chong and said coolly: "I don't like tea."
Dugu Xiude smiled in return, but he cursed in his heart, showing off to you! Who doesn't know that you stick to others like a dog-skin plaster, so this tea is for you!
Dugu Xiude ignored Chairman Sun Chong and said to Dugu Jiu: "Jiu'er, dad is also very curious about this printing technology. Can you take dad to see it?"
"No!" Dugujiu vetoed it without thinking, saying: "Brother said that clay movable type is the patent of this craftsman, and his rights and interests must be protected. No one can read it except him. He asked me
I came here just to keep an eye on you, lest you get coveted and do things that would make it difficult for everyone to get off the stage."
Dugu Xiude's expression froze on his face. This was such a slap in the face. I dare you that my son is not here to greet his father, but to spy on his father! Dugu Xiude was extremely angry and said: "You rebellious son, what will happen to you?
Who is your father!"
Changsun Chong chuckled and said, "Uncle Shi, don't be angry. I think what my wise brother said is not wrong."
Dugujiu glanced over and said, "I'm not your good brother, I'm not close to you. Big brother said, you fat guy is very evil-minded."
This sentence made Changsun Chong speechless. He rubbed his nose in embarrassment and grinned: "Why do you say it so ugly..."
Just when the atmosphere was extremely awkward, Li Mu finally appeared. Bi Laosan and a young craftsman followed Li Mu. Li Mu's face was full of joy, and Bi Laosan and the young craftsman both looked a little excited.
"Everyone is here," Li Mu said hello, and everyone hurried to greet each other. Li Mu introduced both parties. Everyone was introduced in one sentence, but he introduced the young craftsman with emphasis.
"This person is the rising star of our Ministry of Industry, Bi Menting, Bi Jianzheng's nephew. The clay movable type he invented has been verified by me personally and its effect far exceeds all the current movable types. It is enough to meet the standards for patent application.
I have asked him just now and he is willing to sell the patent to the court. With this patent, he can jump from the apprenticeship of the Ministry of Works to the technician of the Ministry of Works and be directly promoted to the technician of the Ministry of Works. He will also get the property of an independent craftsman workshop.
Plus a one-time fee of one thousand guan to buy out the patent.”
After listening to Li Mu's words, everyone took a breath of air-conditioning. After listening to Li Mu's impassioned speech that day, they thought he was drawing a cake for them. Unexpectedly, he really did this. A piece of real estate, a thousand guan, and a
In this way, the fate of a humble craftsman changed. After him, the fate of his descendants and descendants all changed. And all of this was because of his movable clay type, a so-called 'patent'.
This is too valuable!
The craftsmen brought by Chang Sun Chong and others were instantly red-eyed, they saw hope!
Li Mu sent Bi Laosan and Bi Menting away, and asked them to go back to the Ministry of Industry to go through the formalities with the Patent Division. After the formalities were completed, the rewards would be cashed out. Zhao Youcai sent people out, and Li Mu looked at the remaining three families, his eyes
Yimi said: "What do you mean, each of your three families brought three people? I remember I just said yesterday that we must unite as one. What do you mean?"
Changsun Chong said quickly: "I definitely didn't deliberately go against your arrangement. It's a coincidence, what a coincidence!"
The other two people quickly agreed.
Li Mu smiled and said: "Okay, it's a coincidence, right? Everyone from the Changsun family will follow me."
Dugu Xiude and Yuchi Huan panicked and said, "Master Marquis, we have also brought people here, why do we only teach those from the eldest Sun family?"
Before Li Mu could speak, Changsun Chong said with a smile: "Master Hou's secret method, you can teach whoever you like. What, you are not convinced? If you are not convinced, you can go back. As Master Hou said, our company is one, and I, Changsun, have learned it."
Secret method, you can also share the money. If you work hard, you should work harder, if you suffer a loss, you will suffer a little. Our eldest grandson family will take care of it."
Yuchi Huan sneered: "Then why not let my Yuchi family take care of it? How about that?"
"No!" Dugu Xiude answered: "You two are both juniors. I, the elder, am here. How can I let you two take care of me? How can I explain to your father when I meet you in the future? Is it still a matter of suffering a loss?
Come to my Dugu family!"
"Uncle Shi, you are a bit..."
Seeing that the three of them were about to quarrel, Li Mu took a deep breath and shouted: "Shut up, everyone! Dujiao, come one by one, do you understand? You two are waiting. People from the Changsun family, come here!"
