The front hall of Li Mansion.
"Xuan'er, if the business of Zuixianlou is not good, why do you care so much? Our family is not short of money. You must know that you are a baron now, how can you engage in cooking."
After shopkeeper Liu left, Li Jingmo looked at his son who was snoring for breakfast and couldn't help but say.
He had some difficulty understanding his son's behavior. In his eyes, although the profit-making effect of Zuixianlou was good, it was far less noble than the status of the baron. As a baron, his son had to study cooking. Li Dad thinks this is beneath the dignity of a lord.
Li Zexuan swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile: "Hey, Dad, do you still look down on the cook?"
Li Jingmo shook his head and said: "That's not true. When your father and I were young, we were traffickers and pawns. We had done everything. How could we look down on others? My father was worried that you would be impeached and said that you didn't care about officials. Decent.”
Li Zexuan curled his lips and said disdainfully:
"Whoever loves impeachment, let him impeach me. I don't believe that His Majesty would punish me for such a trivial matter. Besides, those who impeach me should have the ability not to eat anything from our Qiqi Pavilion for the rest of their lives!"
Li Jingmo shook his head helplessly and could only follow his son's wishes.
… …..
After breakfast, Li Zexuan came to Qiquge Workshop.
In the workshop, everyone was busy. And there are obviously many more craftsmen here than when Li Zexuan came last time.
"Uncle Fu, how many can Quyuanli produce in a day now?"
Li Zexuan asked Uncle Fu to be found.
"Master, I have recruited fifty-two new craftsmen. Now our workshop's production capacity has more than doubled compared to before. Now we can make three hundred bent-shaft plows a day."
Uncle Fu's face is now rosy, and you can't see the old age in him at all, but you can feel the high fighting spirit in him.
Li Zexuan smiled and nodded: "Well, that's right, Uncle Fu. If you encounter skilled craftsmen in the future, feel free to recruit as many as you want. Our family has a lot of money anyway, so you don't have to worry."
At present, Qiquge's products are in short supply. Li Zexuan really wants to continue to expand the scale of the workshop, but he doesn't know any craftsmen, so he can only ask Uncle Fu to hurry up and recruit people.
He has a calm temperament like Uncle Fu, and his lips twitched when he heard this. This was the first time he encountered such a rich and willful boss.
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Fu, I handed over the drawings of Quyuan Li to the imperial court yesterday, and the imperial court will vigorously produce it. In this case, the pressure on our workshop will be much less, and you can free up some people to continue production. It’s a scooter.”
Li Zexuan patted his head and almost forgot about this.
Uncle Fu was only slightly surprised when he heard this, and nodded in understanding.
After he heard about the pricing of Quyuli before, he knew that Li Zexuan had no intention of making money on Quyuli, and he felt a little relieved. As for Li Zexuan handing over the drawings of Qu Yuan Li to the imperial court, it was natural in Forbes' view, because only with the power of a country can Qu Yuan Li be popularized as soon as possible.
"Well, I will allocate some people tomorrow to specialize in the production of scooters."
"Well, Uncle Fu said before that our workshop can already produce roller bearings, so you should seize the time to use roller bearings on scooters and launch the second generation of scooters as soon as possible.
Because our previous scooters may not last long and will be imitated by others. By the way, on the basis of scooters, you are producing a batch of skateboards without handrails in the front. This is quite suitable for young people to play. "
Li Zexuan thought for a while and then ordered.
Uncle Fu was speechless. Although the boss in front of him was very talented in mechanics, why did he always want to play around? But he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod in agreement.
"Uncle Fu, the workshop has some time recently. Please help me build a carriage. The carriage will use the newly developed roller bearings in our workshop. I also brought the blueprints to you today."
Li Zexuan excitedly took out the drawing of a luxury car he drew last night.
The prototype of this luxury carriage was taken from the luxurious diamond carriage that Australia spent a huge amount of money to build for Queen Elizabeth II when she attended the opening ceremony of Parliament.
In the previous life, this carriage was also called the Golden Carriage. It was designed by Jim and took 50 of the best craftsmen 10 years to build it.
Of course, Li Zexuan abandoned the nouveau riche-like gold appearance, and used dark red with low-key connotation for the exterior of the car.
For safety reasons, there is an iron plate sandwich inside the carriage. The original golden carriage chassis has 6 hydraulic shock absorbers. At the current industrial level, it is still impossible to install. Li Zexuan could only add some springs to the chassis for shock absorption, and the wheel axles Of course, roller bearings are used.
The internal structure of the carriage includes a sofa, a table, a very small bathroom, and a water storage room. It can be said that although it is small, it has all the internal organs.
What Li Zexuan had in mind was indeed beautiful, but it made Uncle Fu miserable. In his entire life, Uncle Fu has never seen so many novel things.
"Master, what are these circles?"
Fu Bo asked, pointing to the spring in the drawing.
Li Zexuan took one look and explained:
"This is called a spring. It is made of wire drawn in circles. A large number of springs can be added to the chassis of the carriage to reduce vibrations in the carriage."
(Metal springs have existed for a long time in the Bronze Age. The inventor of springs in the strict sense should be the British scientist Hooke. There have been no remains of metal springs in ancient my country, so let’s just assume there are none.)
After Li Zexuan nudged it for a while, Uncle Fu understood it. He smacked his lips and sighed: "Master, your idea is really clever. What is this?"
"This is a sofa. We can also make it separately and sell it as furniture in the future. The sofa is made of leather wrapped with springs and some soft fillings. It is placed on the carriage and is mainly used for shock absorption. After all, I have a lot of data in the Tang Dynasty. The local roads are not easy to walk on, and the shock absorption of the carriage chassis alone is not enough."
Li Zexuan explained the composition and function of the sofa to Uncle Forbes.
Uncle Fu's eyes widened and he looked at Li Zexuan with a strange expression. He resented that iron could not become steel. His boss had so much talent and learning, but he didn't use it on the right path. He always found ways to enjoy himself in different ways. People are amazed.
Uncle Fu was thinking that if the man in front of him was his son, he would have to give him a good beating.
Li Zexuan felt a little nervous when he was stared at. He coughed quickly and said, "Ahem, Uncle Fu, can the workshop make this carriage?"
Uncle Fu calmed down, thought for a while and replied: "It should be possible, but it will take some time, probably ten days."
Li Zexuan said happily: "That's all Uncle Fu. It doesn't matter if it takes longer. Let the craftsmen accumulate some experience in building this kind of carriage. When the speed increases, our Qiquge will also sell this carriage."
Uncle Fu could only nod in agreement. With such a master, what else could he say.
