Chapter 749
"Okay, if there is really a treasure, I hope you can save your brother."
Chen Xuanhua has made a decision.
Still can't get rid of family affection.
Since this is the case, Li De would not say much.
He mobilized the most trusted Hu Ben Guard around him to help her. Whether it is really successful depends on the result.
Xiao Mei wasn't saying anything.
"You have done enough for Chen Shubao, don't worry. Let Chen Xuanhua choose whatever she wants."
Li De really doesn't care about treasures, he doesn't fantasize about unrealistic things.
Chen Xuanhua took two hundred Hu Ben's guards away, but Xiao Mei did not follow him. Surprisingly, she was in the city guard's house for a period of time and was with Li De.
Li De didn't feel strange. Xiao Mei had figured it out and there was nothing to tie her up. After all, Chen Xuanhua was not her own sister.
Her kindness was also exhausted.
Now that I am not living with a mask, I am much more lively.
Xiao Mei, who has a peerless face, surrounded Li De in the city guarding the house every day, was so envious of others.
Xiao Mei's identity is no longer a secret. Everyone in Youzhou knows that Xiao Mei not only has a peerless appearance but also has an official position in the vanguard.
The Chief Commander directly under the lieutenant, and there are many gossips about it. Who would have thought that the lieutenant under Li De was all women and all became Li De's wife.
There are many people who envy, jealous and hate them.
"Mei'er, your tea art is getting more and more exquisite."
"Just like it, my husband."
Li De was a little uncomfortable with Xiao Mei's name. He believed that it would take a few days to get used to, but he also wanted to say that I really couldn't drink it anymore.
I have been drinking tea every day for several days, and I have never stopped. Should I come to work or show my tea art? It should be to torture him, it is so terrifying.
"Ahem."
Li De suddenly realized that there were too many women around him, which was not very good. How could Xiao Mei’s tea art and Zhang Chuchen’s jealous jar not move?
"Husband, I made some pastries today, you must like it."
The pastries made by Zhang Chuchen are all menus provided by Li De, but they are not bad. They can eat them even if they have enough water.
"That's the best. I have something to do now. I'll eat when I'm hungry. There's no hurry."
Li De found an excuse and rushed to the workshop immediately after leaving the door.
He decided to work in the workshop.
It seems like a trivial matter to solve the problem of the women around you, but it is not.
In this era, men with some identities have no three wives and four concubines in their families. If they want to live a harmonious life, they must make some efforts.
Men in the world will inevitably have the same troubles as him, and even when they are upset, they will never get tired of it.
"Grandmaster, I'll ask someone to arrange which project to inspect today."
Li De usually inspects the workshop, and the workshop has been divided into project teams. The craftsmen have mastered the skills, both high and low, and their own fields of expertise.
When allocating projects, they are allocated according to personal opinions.
Li De just wanted to find a place to think about things today, but he really didn't want to patrol the work, especially the production workshop. He didn't want to go in without some concentration and preparation.
"You go and do it, I'll take a walk by myself."
The workshop manager did not continue to ask questions and leave.
Li De walked slowly between workshops, not really going to workplaces to watch the craftsmen work, but chose to stroll outside the factory.
Youzhou Workshop is like a huge machine, working constantly, and all kinds of craftsmen can find their value here.
The quietest place is the department responsible for R&D, and their main job is to plan and design.
His target is also there, the most mysterious place in Youzhou Workshop.
Naturally, no one dared to intercept Li De when he was in and out. If someone else had changed, he might have been arrested if he couldn't even see the first factory door.
"Now that steam engines are used, many craftsmen can free up their hands to do other things, so there is no need to lay off employees."
"Don't be so excited, okay? This is a proposal."
"The steam engine application has freed up a large number of workers, and you have seen it. The production of workshops has always been full. What is the purpose of their shifts a few days? The wages are not that much unless the workshop expands. If the layoffs are made, they may be better than the current situation."
"You are right, but what should I do if the technology mastered in the workshop is done? If you let them go out, aren't you afraid of people with ulterior motives who are digging for their work at a high price?"
"This definitely won't work."
What is the worker's matter, the contradiction between productivity and steam engine?
Li De heard something and walked straight into the room.
Everyone almost got angry when they heard the movement. How could anyone break in the important part of the meeting? When they looked up, they saw that it was their chief governor and they lost their temper.
But their anger just now still did not dissipate.
"Don't delay your work."
Li De was very casual, just not wanting to put pressure on them. The people here were not his commanders but the senior craftsmen in the workshop.
They are responsible for many and complicated things, such as project discussion and planning, good benefits for workshop workers, technical transformation and upgrading, etc.
They are also responsible for layoffs.
The ideas in the workshop are highly independent, and Li De is the final reviewer, so they don’t have to worry about what they want to say.
With Li De in their place, they naturally couldn't let go.
"Grandman, the workshop has many craftsmen vacated due to the application of steam equipment, so we are discussing how to arrange them."
"Oh, what are you thinking of a good idea?"
Li De just heard it, and now he is asking questions knowingly, which means that he will not make the final decision and need their explanation.
With room for negotiation, the craftsmen are not polite. They have long been used to Li De's working style.
"Workshop craftsmen have mastered too many techniques, and laying off is a huge loss. If you can consider expanding the workshop or assigning craftsmen to work in other workshops."
Li De listened silently. It was not a solution to assign craftsmen to other workshops. Does the woodworking workshop need a blacksmith? It is OK to expand the workshop, but the problem is that after the expansion, you have to bear the expenditure on expansion.
It is definitely not something that hundreds of thousands of coins can be solved.
Workshops still need to pay attention to profits. Too much investment will cause burdens. At present, there has been a lot of investment in the workshop to popularize steam engines.
"It is easier to lay off employees. There is definitely no problem for craftsmen to work in merchant shops. Isn't it good to be straightforward?"
The problem is simple whether to lay off employees or not.
"Okay, I'll answer you this question. I already know the situation of the workshop. After the steam equipment is fully popular, the vacant craftsmen will arrange for them to work in the dock."
The craftsmen's attitude immediately became eased, and they also hoped that the craftsmen could have a good way out.
