Chapter 112 Building a Brick Kiln and Li Zhi's Flattery
"Let's go..." After Li You looked at the cement powder, he was about to go back.
However, just as Li You turned around.
Suddenly a man came over and said, "Young Master, do you need someone to burn bricks..."
Li You stopped, turned around and looked at the man with a smile and asked, "You can burn bricks... Can you briefly talk about how you burn bricks?"
"As for orders..." the man bowed and said, "The kiln where the villain burned bricks is called the Horseshoe Kiln. The kiln is about one meter high and is as big as three and a half rooms.
Because it looks like a horseshoe, people call it a horseshoe kiln. The kiln has a low technical content, but the production process is easy to master. Because this type of kiln is greatly affected by the climate, it is difficult to produce in the rainy season in winter and summer. Generally, the working time is divided into two phases each year. The first phase starts from April to June and July, and after the rainy season, production is then in October.
The location for burning the bricks is above the cave. The dried bricks are carried by force workers in piles, loaded into the kiln from above the kiln, and then sealed. The fuel for burning the kiln is basically made of coal. When burning the bricks, the temperature in the bricks is quite high, about thousands of degrees, and it takes several days (four to ten days), which depends on the weather and the conditions of the kiln. After the bricks are burned, it must be cooled for three to five days.
Burning 30,000 to 40,000 bricks in a kiln at a time.
However, now everyone uses wood to build houses, so the utilization rate of bricks is not very high. Each kiln uses 60 workers, 40 workers who load bricks and take bricks, and four firemen who burn fire.
These are all things that villains burn bricks...!"
Li You looked at the man with a smile and said, "What's your name..."
"The villain's name is Zhao Dezhu..." Zhao Dezhu showed a happy expression.
At this time, Li You nodded and said, "It's great Zhao Dezhu. From now on, you will be my manager of burning bricks. Now it's time to go, so you can immediately bring someone to build a brick kiln for me and start burning bricks.
If you want someone, I will give him money, I will give him money, build more brick kilns and burn more bricks...!"
"Yes, young master... the villain must do his best to do his best to do things for the young master...!" Zhao Dezhu knelt down suddenly.
Looking at Zhao Dezhu kneeling in front of him, Li You said slightly: "Don't live in the workers' area anymore. You are already in charge of the business. Let's move to the management area today...!"
"The management area...!" Zhao Dezhu was excited.
Because you should know that the working area has three or four households living in one building, and the management area has one building, which is much more spacious than the working area.
"Young master, there is no need to worry about it. I can still live in the workers' area...!" Zhao Dezhu answered with a little gratitude.
Li You laughed, then helped Zhao Dezhu up and said, "I know your thoughts. Even if I don't give you anything, you will work hard for me..."
"Well... well... the young master gave me a job and saved my mother and my child. Even if he died for the young master immediately, Zhao Dezhu would not hesitate...!"
After Zhao Dezhu finished speaking, Li You shouted in surprise: "Ah...I remember you. Wasn't you the first Zhuzi to ask me a question at the east side of the city that day...?"
"Young Master still remembers me?" Zhao Dezhu was also very happy.
"Haha... Of course I remember... Zhuzi, do it well, I know your loyalty, but if you give me loyalty, I will give you something so that others will help me like you after seeing it.
So don’t refuse, just go to the management area and help me build the brick kiln as soon as possible, and then burn the bricks.
As long as you burn the bricks... I, Li You, will not treat you badly."
"I wish to die for the young master..." Zhao Dezhu knelt down again.
"Haha..." Li You smiled and helped Zhao Dezhu up again. Li You was still very satisfied with Zhao Dezhu's performance.
....................................
It was about afternoon... the bronze bell that was being worked on by Li You rang.
Li You sat on his three-story wooden building, looking at the crowd below, with a smile on his lips.
"It's time to eat..." Xiao Yan walked up with a tray, which contained mutton, celery, and a large bowl of pork bone soup.
"Have you eaten..." Li You looked at Xiao Yan and asked.
"I have to go down to help get food. There are more people coming back from the cafeteria later. I must be worthy of the 100-yuan stale money you gave...!" Xiao Yan smiled sweetly.
"That night, you must have a Leaf Show..."
"I understand..." Xiao Yan put down the tray, then left with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll let Baoer come and get it..."
"Know...!"
The sunset is setting and the sunset is the most colorful time in Chang'an City in the day. The dim red is covered with the sky, and the white clouds dot it, like a dusk ink painting. The houses look particularly dazzling and brilliant against the colorful clouds.
The wild geese line up in pairs in the sky, the river water is long and the autumn grass is yellow, and the sound of the piano is sad on the grassland. The wild geese are flying south and flying over the reed marsh. Where is the vast sky? In my heart is my hometown in the north.
In the evening, rows of wild geese are flying across the sky. The weather is getting warmer, and wild geese are flying back to their hometown in their hearts.
"Teacher...Teacher...!"
Suddenly, Xiao Baoer's voice sounded downstairs, and Li You replied in a daze: "I haven't finished eating yet. You are here to collect the tray. Isn't it too early...!"
When Xiao Baoer heard Li You's words, he smiled.
Following Li You, he heard Li Zhi's proud voice: "Fifth brother, it's me here..."
"So it's Zhinu coming... I thought it was Baoer who came to collect my tray... Why... Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let Baoer get you a meal...!"
"Hehe...!" Li Zhi smiled and came to Li You and said, "I won't eat any more food. I'm here to tell Brother Wu for a good news."
"What good news?" Li You took a sip of the soup and looked at Li Zhi and asked.
"With my unremitting efforts, I have been saying good things about Brother Wu in my father's ear. Especially today, I told my father that Brother Wu's soap and soap are not profitable, and also said how many refugees I recruited, and how to feed meat every day clearly.
Finally, my father knew the heart of the fifth brother and officially asked me to inform me to attend the family gathering held by my father every day after tomorrow. How about the fifth brother... My ninth brother should live up to his entrustedness... So you promised to give my clairvoyance to me, you can give it to me...!"
Li You brought some monoculars to the last time and was played with by Xiao Baoer once. Later, Li Zhi found out about it for some reason. This guy immediately targeted him.
Li You asked Li Zhi to help him go to the palace to see his mother's mother more, and then asked Li Zhi to help him talk more good things around Li Shimin. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi really helped him say some good things.
You should know that Li Shimin's family gatherings are basically all the children whom Li Shimin favored, especially the legitimate son and the legitimate daughter. This time, he was able to let him go there with him, which really made Li You a little flattered.
However, suddenly, Li You looked at Li Zhi in surprise and asked, "No... Zhinu... How did you know that fifth brother, my soap and soap are not profitable..."
"Clam..." Li You's words stunned Li Zhi, and then he laughed.
