Chapter 409: Copy Artisan
"It's not that serious, either." Li Mu picked up a contract in front of him and showed it to everyone, saying, "Am anyone among you who are literate? Raise your hand and show it."
Most of the people who can work as craftsmen in this era are from poor backgrounds, and nine out of ten do not recognize words. Everyone looked at me, and I saw you. Finally, an old craftsman sitting in the corner raised his hand tremblingly. Li Mu signaled him to get up and asked, "Do you recognize words?"
"If you come back to the Marquis, the villain's grandfather has studied before, but when he reaches the villain's father's generation, the family will not work. The villain has studied with his grandfather for a few years, and it's okay to recognize words."
"Just recognize words." Li Mu handed the contract to Wei Yingluo next to him. Wei Yingluo walked over and handed the contract to the old craftsman.
"Please read it."
"Hey," the old craftsman responded, picked up the contract and looked closer and carefully. Fortunately, he really recognized most of the words, so he started to pronounce them from scratch.
This is a confidentiality contract, not long and the meaning is straightforward. The craftsmen understand it as soon as they hear it. The rough meaning is that the Marquis will teach them a technique of making rollers, but they must keep it confidential. They cannot tell anyone about the tricks, nor can they mention them to anyone, even their own sons. If the secret is leaked, it will violate the confidentiality contract of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Once it is violated, it will implicate the three tribes and the whole family will die.
The five words "The whole family is dead" are written brightly on the contract. The old craftsmen also read this way, which is much more direct than the literary wording and sentence making. No matter how low the craftsmen have, they know the meaning of these five words.
As Li Mu thought, someone showed a look of fear. Li Mu took the conversation and smiled and said, "It's not that you force everyone. Those who don't want to participate can withdraw now. I will never take revenge. What you did, what you will do in the future. How much wages you made, how much wages you made in the future, just pretend that this has not happened. But if you press your handprints, if you violate the contents of the contract in the future, don't blame me for being rude. You also know the reputation of Li Mu. When you annoy me, unless you are Your Majesty, otherwise... Humph."
When the craftsmen heard this hum, they subconsciously shivered. They did not doubt what Li Mu said at all, and they immediately hesitated. Li Mu did not urge him, but just signaled Wei Yingluo to distribute the contract, press those who were willing to press the handprints, and leave if they were unwilling to press the handprints, all based on their own voluntary.
The craftsman who had just spoken received the contract and pressed his handprints directly without any drag. Seeing that the others were hesitating, he said, "When the Marquis did not come to the Ministry of Works, I lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. My son could only continue to live a life worse than pigs and dogs like me. All generations of life are all this fate. It was the Marquis who gave me a house and made money. I didn't recognize words and didn't understand anything else. I only knew that without the Marquis, I would not be my day. My life was sold to him, and I would do whatever he asked me to do!"
These words really worked. The hesitant people no longer hesitated and pressed their handprints one after another, and no one left.
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and Wei Yingluo put away the contract.
"I will use facts to prove that everyone's choice is correct. However, at this moment, I will repeat it again. It's still too late to regret it now. When I teach you how to make bearings, it's too late to regret it. I don't mean to joke with you. If anyone leaks the secret, I will notice it. You, your wife, your children, your father-in-law, mother-in-law, nephew, nephew, your whole family, as long as you have something to do with you, will die. I will ask the Jinyiwei to dig a big hole and bury your whole family. Don't blame me for being ruthless at that time."
Now that things have come to this point, who can still retreat? The craftsmen shouted loudly: "Listen to the orders of the marquis, I will never regret it!"
"Okay!" Li Mu signaled Wei Yingluo to go out. After watching her close the door, he took out a stack of secret books from her arms and handed them to the craftsmen one by one. He told the craftsmen not to move, and he would pick them up together after he finished sending them.
"Now everyone can pick it up and read it. This is the secret technique for making bearings."
The craftsmen picked up the "secret book" as they said, and felt a blur before their eyes, which was a bit like they were drunk and drunk. They were confused for a moment, and when they woke up again, something became more in their minds.
At this time, Li Mu's voice came to his ears: "...This is the technology of making bearings. Do everyone understand?"
The craftsmen looked at Li Mu blankly and were about to ask, but suddenly they found that there was nothing to ask. The bearing production technology was already in their heads. There were a total of several steps and what should be paid attention to in each step, as if it was engraved in the head, just like eating and sleeping, and no one had to teach them to do things at all.
What happened, when did you learn it?
The craftsmen subconsciously became such a trance, but then a voice came out in their hearts: I was taught by the Marquis just now!
Oh, yes, it was taught by the Marquis.
The craftsmen responded loudly: "Marty, I understand everything."
"Very good! So before the New Year, I will try to make a batch of bearings first, and after the New Year, I will plan a new factory. Everyone's wages will rise to 500 cents a day, and as the profits increase, there will be more benefits. In short, I will not treat everyone badly."
The original wages of these craftsmen were 300 cents, and they increased by 200 cents at once, almost doubled. Who would be unhappy? They grinned. After thanking each other, they left the conference room one by one.
Li Mu let out a long sigh, called Wei Yingluo in, and said, "Let the next group come in."
Wei Yingluo nodded and went out to call the next group of craftsmen in.
...
After working hard for a day, Li Mu used all the "secrets" made by secret skills, and he also copied more than 100 craftsmen who could make system creations. These craftsmen became the main force of the factory after the New Year. Although they still could not be completely confidential, Li Mu had planned the next step. When a few leaks in the early stage, they would warn a hundred people when necessary. When leaking secrets in the middle stage, the factory won by volume. When the leaks in the later stage cannot be controlled, he will directly upgrade his technology. All of these craftsmen are primary skills. When the next batch, he will copy the intermediate skills and continue to maintain the leading technology.
