MTL - Enter the Room-Chapter 206
Chapter 206
Not long after Song Jiyun left, the first snow fell in Liang County.
Thin flakes of snow fell to the ground like catkins, and soon melted into water, soaking the rammed earth road leading to Mount Zhu.
Li Zixiu was reconciling accounts with the accountant, and when he heard bursts of laughter from the crowd passing by outside, he couldn't help being upset, and called the steward of the kiln: "What's going on outside?"
The steward glanced at him cautiously, and said, "It's the Song family kiln. They have a spring break."
Li Zixiu was surprised: "They have spring break so early? There is still more than a month before the Spring Festival?"
The steward said: "Since Boss Song left, the Song Family Kiln Factory was headed by Master Luo. People from the Royal Kiln Factory came to make trouble a few times. Master Luo simply gave the kiln masters, apprentices and kiln workers a holiday. After paying all the wages and dividends, each person can get a New Year gift."
According to the practice of the Jingdezhen Kiln Factory, when the wages are settled at the end of the year, one-fifth of the wages will be deducted, and the settlement will be clear when they start working in the next year.
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but said: "I heard that ordinary kiln workers are divided into dividends of four taels of silver, and the master chefs, big shopkeepers, and stewards are all divided into silver tickets. In addition to chicken, duck, fish, dried fruit refreshments, and even Everyone gave out a small jar of autumn oil balsamic vinegar, and you don’t need to buy anything when you take it back, you can directly make a table of reunion dinner.”
Can the people of Songjia Kiln Factory laugh and laugh?
Li Zixiu curled his lips when he heard this.
This must be Song Jiyun's idea again.
If he made so much money like Song Jiyun, he would be willing to give out a little bit of money in the palm of his hand, and everyone would send a New Year gift, and everyone would ask on the road to let everyone know how well he treats the kiln workers. How prosperous the kiln is.
But isn’t he poor?
He looked at the books.
This year only two-thirds of last year's profit, which is the worst year for business in more than ten years.
He tossed the ledger aside.
The steward saw him and went to refill Li Zixiu's cup of tea.
Li Zixiu held his teacup and thought: After all, Luo Zixing is not as good as Song Jiyun. It's still too early for the spring break.
Some time ago, the reason why Eunuch Wan was able to find trouble with the Royal Kiln Factory was because he was in good health, but since he heard that Song Jiyun had given up the market in Jingdezhen and went directly to Nanjing, Song Jiyun's already crooked mouth became even more crooked. Now, the speech is a little slurred, and the mouth is still drooling.
Like a stroke.
Eunuch Wan was frightened to death.
Although he is a member of the twenty-four yamen, he was also appointed by the imperial court, and the imperial court appointed an official. If he really had a stroke, this official would have made it to the top.
He was afraid of being known, so he didn't dare to invite doctors from Liang County, and he was also afraid that the doctors from Liang County didn't have the skills, so he quietly asked someone to invite a Taoist doctor from Longhu Mountain. The troubles of the kiln factory.
However, even if the Songjia Kiln Factory does not have a spring break, it will not be able to burn a few kilns, and without Song Jiyun, it is not known how much of the finished product will be, and whether it can burn bottle statues of the same height, it is better to have a holiday.
Li Zixiu took a sip of tea, frowned and told the steward: "Our kiln factory also has spring break in advance!"
Who is not happy to be able to go home early for the New Year.
The steward replied with a smile, waiting for Li Zixiu to continue to show.
Li Zixiu looked at the steward in surprise, and said, "What else is there?"
How will you calculate your salary this year? How to calculate the dividend? Everyone else in the Songjia Kiln factory got a New Year gift, will our kiln give it away?
These words rolled on the tip of the manager's tongue a few times, but seeing Li Zixiu's appearance, he didn't want to learn from the Songjia Kiln Factory at all, so he could only say: "It's nothing, just see if the boss has any other orders!"
Li Zixiu blushed instantly.
He understands what it means to be in charge.
But his business this year is not good.
He couldn't help scolding: "Except for the Songjia Kiln Factory, everyone's business is so bad this year. It's good to have wages. You still want to share dividends? Do you want me to give you a New Year's gift? Just dream!"
The steward left the account room with a face full of spittle.
Li Zixiu sighed, and threw a few orange peels into the brazier.
The fragrance of oranges soon floated in the accounting room.
Li Zixiu talked to the accountant: "These people are really full. They don't know that hungry men are hungry. Song Jiyun burned new blue and white porcelain. When she comes back from Nanjing, it will be the time when Jingdezhen will change the day. We burn old blue and white porcelain." Whether the kiln factory can survive is still a matter of debate. After paying all the wages, dividends, and festivals, what do they think?"
The accountant is an old accountant who has been with him for decades, and he is loyal. After getting along for so many years, he is not like a subordinate, but more like a friend.
He handed an orange to Li Zixiu, and said, "The situation is really so serious? Didn't Boss Song go to Nanjing? I heard people say that she may never do business in Jingdezhen again, and the new blue and white are only from their family." If it can be fired, can their family finish all the blue and white porcelain business?"
"It can't be finished." Li Zixiu peeled the orange and shook his head helplessly, "But think about it, those buyers of high-end porcelain, who would want to settle for the second best! In the future, in the high-end porcelain market, it is Their family is the only one. Even if we want to pick up some leftovers from her teeth, we must be able to pick them up!
"To be in the low-end market is to earn hard money, what is there to earn.
"After a long time, maybe I will be reduced to making porcelain billets for the Songjia Kiln Factory!
"There is no formula for new blue and white, and everything you say is false, and you can only be stepped on and used as a stepping stone for others!"
The accountant knew that what he said made sense, so he was silent for a long time.
Li Zixiu felt that the orange was sour in his mouth.
He murmured: "Song Youliang and I have been fighting for a lifetime, but he came ahead of me and gave birth to a good daughter. In the end, he suppressed me. Why didn't I think of marrying Song Jiyun back home as my wife?" Daughter-in-law?"
When Song Youliang was choosing a husband for Song Jiyun in the whole county, he even laughed at Song Youliang.
Now it seems that Song Youliang still has the foresight, and did not marry Song Jiyun in a perfunctory manner.
Otherwise, how could the Songjia Kiln Factory be where it is today!
He also taught Song Tao.
That is also a ruthless character.
But after all, it’s a woman’s family, and they do all kinds of dirty things, unlike Song Jiyun, who is open and close. If she wants to plot you, she will show it on the bright side. If you suffer, you have to admire her.
He has seen many people like Song Tao who started their careers by relying on small skills and had great success for a while.
In the end, it will only be the glorious few years.
But next year, everyone's life will definitely be difficult.
The new blue and white porcelain has become famous in Nanjing, and Song Jiyun has made it clear that he wants to fight with Eunuch Wan to the end. It must be a bloodbath, and it depends on who will overwhelm the other.
Li Zixiu couldn't help shivering when he thought about that scene.
I don’t know what other kilns think?
In case he had to stand in a team, who should he stand with?
This time it's not as good and muddy as before. Eunuch Wan will definitely not let go of his illness, and the methods will be more violent than usual. Song Jiyun is also a tigress. He offended Mr. Wan and the kiln factory cannot continue. He offended Song Jiyun...Song Jiyun also has a hundred kinds and a thousand kinds There is a way to prevent his kiln from opening.
He scolded a mother.
Thinking of Master Yan who has always been on good terms with Song Jiyun.
After thinking about it, he hesitated for a while, and finally took a jar of good Jinhua wine, and went to Master Yan's house in the snow.
