Chapter 120: Boss takes office

The winter chill that has not yet faded made Li Min shrink back involuntarily when he went out in the morning, and then Cui Yingying followed Li Min out. She was wearing a maroon one-piece dress today and put on some light makeup, looking a little solemn. Since then, Li Yin has been busy, but Cui Yingying is uncomfortable. She is not a quiet woman. This was understood from the first time Li Yin saw her. He restrained himself a little, but the nature of the country is easy to change, so Li Yin thought twice and decided to let her take over the business of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, while he was mainly responsible for things that were more strategic to Yizhou, such as research institutes, farms, Foreign development, military training and other things.

"Your Highness, how do I dress?" Taking over the business of Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, Cui Yingying naturally wanted to meet the person in charge of Yizhou Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, and Li Yin was going to take her to the Nanhe Workshop base.

Li Yin turned her head and glanced at her, Cui Yingying immediately stood still and put on a majestic look.

The golden brilliance of the morning sun sprinkled on her fair face, like a layer of light floating, Cui Yingying's lips were tightly pursed, her eyes were cold and stern, standing there really had an air of arrogance, and this air was only seen in Concubine Yang and Concubine Yang. Empress Changsun has seen it before, it is a kind of self-confidence exuding from the bottom of her bones.

"Not bad, she looks good." Li Yin praised, Cui Yingying immediately showed a smug smile, Li Yin shook her head, after all, this girl is still young, and she needs to practice for a few more years to reach the level of Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun .

Li Yin rode Red Boy and accompanied Cui Yingying's carriage to Nanhe Workshop. After Tong Nian left Yizhou, he left a person here. This person was Wei Zimo, who was in charge of the transfer of goods and the production of the workshop. Regarding this Wei Zimo, Su Morer handed over all the information about him to Li Yin when he came here years ago. He had a relationship with Tong Nian, and Tong Nian saw that he was very talented in management, so he sent him to Yizhou.

For the problem that many people in the Yizhou small group are related to relatives, Li Min is also quite helpless. This problem has not been changed throughout the ages. Even modern enterprises are mostly family-owned enterprises, and even some government departments are no exception. Compared with outsiders, they are more willing to trust their own people. Even if this person has no talent, what they want is to hold the power tightly in their own hands. This problem was even more prominent in the feudal society of the Tang Dynasty, which is why this The reason why the gentry became so popular in the era.

As for this problem, Li Yin can only hold a tolerant attitude at present, and he does not avoid relatives when he chooses talents. As long as the person he chooses has no problems and is worthy of use, he doesn't care about it. Moreover, Cui Shao wrote a letter a few days ago, saying He wanted some children of the Cui family to come to Yizhou, and hoped that Li Yin could provide them with opportunities to practice. Li Yin replied and agreed to this matter. Now the Cui family and Li Yin are grasshoppers on the same rope. Shao naturally understood this point. If Li Yin was unlucky, the Cui family would also be unlucky. He had no choice but to fully support Li Yin, just like the eldest grandson family supported Li Shimin back then. He was the most active in the changes, because he understood that after he became Li Shimin's eldest brother-in-law, the fate of the eldest grandson's family was tied to Li Shimin's.

Cui Shao has learned from the past and the present, why doesn't he understand this point, since ancient times, most of the princes died violently, and few survived gloriously, even those who survived were mediocre and incompetent, father and son killed each other, brothers killed each other, this is the way the emperor's home is not What he can do is to fight for a living space for Li Yin.

When the two arrived at the workshop, Li Yin took Cui Yingying to familiarize herself with the base of the workshop, including explaining to her in detail what the goods made in each workshop were. Cui Yingying listened very carefully and saw some modern equipment I kept looking around.

In the current workshop, the paper mill has already started to produce paper, but in addition to newsprint, it also produces other types of paper for sale, such as the famous hard yellow paper of the Tang Dynasty.

The production of perfume is also in progress. This time, Li Yin has separated all the winemaking and perfume. The alcohol used for perfume is the special perfume alcohol he bought from Hyundai. Anyway, the amount of alcohol used to make perfume is not large, and it is better to wait until the brewery start.

Going further in is the kiln factory. Of course, Li Yin's kiln factory is not for the production of ceramics, but for the preparation of firing cement. At the same time, it can also produce sintered bricks, which has many uses.

Turning around, the two walked to the office area. The workshop base here is the same as Chang'an's plan. The factory building, living area, and office area are all available. The craftsmen here are provided by the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. On the way, Li Yin asked Yang Li, "How are the craftsmen and slaves doing now? No one is passive and sabotage?"

The construction of the workshop base was fast and well done. Li Yin promoted Yang Li to be the No. 2 figure in the workshop after Wei Zimo, which made him grateful to Li Yin and said: "Your Highness, they are all actively working hard. How dare you be lazy! In the past, they didn’t have enough to eat or wear, and they were looked down upon all day long. Now they are full of food, warmly dressed, have a clean place to live, and receive a monthly salary. Such a good thing used to be They dare not even think about it.”

Wei Zimo said: "Guard Yang is right, I have never seen craftsmen work so hard!"

The four of them arrived at the office area after talking. There is a brick-wood mixed building with upper and lower floors. There are no complicated and exquisite shapes, only simple lines.

Entering Wei Zimo's office room, Li Yin said to the two, "From now on, you will report to the princess about the chores in the workshop, and explain to her what the princess doesn't understand."

The two bowed and said yes.

Cui Yingying looked at the two of them, and said with a smile, "It will be hard for you two in the future."

Yang Li and Wei Zimo said: "This is what a lowly slave should do."

Li Yin stood aside and did not speak, while Cui Yingying began to inquire about the situation of some workshops. There are three fires for a new official to take office, and one must be burned. Li Yin witnessed with his own eyes what it means to give a bite of candy and then give him a slap.

However, Cui Yingying's reprimanding of Yang Li and Wei Zimo's problems can be regarded as well-founded, such as the hygiene and cleanliness of the workshop, many places where people can see filth, and although the craftsmen and slaves are very motivated, they have no rules at all, which is too much random.

After hearing this, Li Yin thought to himself that women are more careful and can see some places that men can't see. The lady boss is indeed the lady boss.

After Li Yin and Cui Yingying left, Yang Li and Wei Zimo looked at each other and smiled wryly. Li Yin had a lot of affairs on weekdays, and his management of them was relatively loose. When the princess took office, their life would be difficult.
