The Craftsmen Alliance that Li Chengqi was in now was very fast. The craftsmen's clothes were already very beautiful.
However, compared to the Li Family Zhuangzi's clothes, they were much worse. Although they were both made of canvas, the craftsmen's clothes were finer and more comfortable to wear.
Moreover, the sleeves of the craftsmen's clothes were much longer and could be rolled up and buckled.
After rolling up and buckling, the sleeves became shorter.
When the sleeves were long, it was to prevent something from splashing and hurting the wrists. When rolled up, it was to prevent something from rolling up the sleeves.
Then, he would adjust it himself.
"There will be some meat stewing in the pot when we eat later. I will try my best to get more meat for you." Li Chengqi was closer to the craftsmen of Zhuangzi.
"No need. We have a carriage coming over with six craftsmen. There are casseroles in the carriage. When it's time to eat, we will sneak in and eat." The craftsmen pointed in a direction.
Li Chengqi looked over. Sure enough, there was a four-wheeled carriage parked there. There was also someone waiting beside the carriage. It was the coachman.
"Where are the others?" Li Chengqi looked around. There was no one.
"Above. Above is the most important. Dongzhu is afraid that some craftsmen will think that they know how to do it. If they don't do it well, there will be an accident."
The craftsmen pointed up again. He looked down on the other craftsmen in front of him as if they were at the top of the food chain.
It wasn't that he looked down on skills, but he looked down on discipline. It was a mess.
A group of people who didn't cooperate well and shouted back and forth. Some people were clearly in the wrong but still wanted to take the blame.
There was no such problem in Zhuangzi, not in Zhuangzi. Everyone would assign tasks before starting work.
Who was in charge of which area, who was the commander, and who was the deputy commander.
If there was a problem with the commander, the deputy commander would correct or record it. As long as there was no danger, the other craftsmen had to follow the commander's instructions.
If there was danger, they could directly avoid it.
Later, there would be other people to investigate. Otherwise, even if they were wronged, they had to do it and then report it to the higher-ups.
In the beginning, there were many special situations. Now, there were basically no problems. Everyone cooperated smoothly and performed their own duties.
Then, he looked down on them. You can't do it. You lack teamwork.
Li Chengqi looked up. Sure enough, the craftsmen of Zhuangzi were in the key positions above.
He was relieved. He never had the thought of comparing the craftsmen of the Alliance with the craftsmen of Li Family Zhuangzi.
"I'll join you guys for dinner later."
Li Chengqi wanted to get more minced meat for himself during the meal, but when he saw the car, he changed his mind.
His current identity was that of an inspector of the Alliance. Other than the confidants in charge of the Alliance, no one else knew his identity.
He did not need to be close to the people, nor did he need to share weal and woe with the craftsmen.
The blacksmith nodded vigorously, indicating that there was no problem.
"What kind of casserole did you bring today?" Li Chengqi knew that Zhuangzi and the other craftsmen were around. After relaxing, he started to crave for the casserole.
"It's the same. Chicken stewed with mushrooms and Monkey's Head mushrooms. The six of us discussed among ourselves and told the kitchen, and the kitchen specially made it for us. White rice.
There's also tofu mixed with scallions, eggplant with garlic, cucumber strips with garlic, and some dog meat mixed with coriander. "
The Blacksmith replied, gulping as he spoke.
"Brother Yi, didn't you say that you don't like eating dog meat? A dead dog? "Li Chengqi was puzzled.
"We don't eat dogs that died of old age or accidentally. This is a dog from the Zhang family's village. It bit its owner. Dongzhu checked it and said it was not sick. Ah, it was sick. It was a class disease, so it was strangled to death. We brought it back to eat."
The Blacksmith explained the situation.
"What is a class disease?" Li Chengqi heard of this disease for the first time.
"Dongzhu said that dogs are animals with classes, just like wolves. The difference is that dogs have a long sense of identity with humans, for example, for a lifetime.
When they feel that you are stronger than them, they will always listen to you. Even if you beat them to death, they will not dare to resist.
But when they feel that they should be above you, they will bite you to make you listen to them.
Dongzhu said that all dogs that bite their owners must be dealt with; and those that are obedient should not be beaten all the time. It's meaningless. "
The Blacksmith explained to Li Chengqi about dog rearing, which he learned from Zhuangzi.
"Alas!" Li Chengqi did not know what to say.
Of course, he was not feeling sorry for the dogs. He just felt that the gap between him and Brother Yi was too big.
He had been learning all the time, but he found that he needed to learn more and more.
"Don't worry, the dogs in Zhuangzi don't bite their owners. Dongzhu has a way to train them. They are very obedient." The Blacksmith thought that this relative of the Emperor cared about the dogs.
Then, Li Chengqi became even more depressed.
"Okay, put the bamboo tube down and connect it firmly. Align the tenons and grooves." The Blacksmith of Zhuangzi shouted.
It was the first time that the other Blacksmiths encountered such a fun thing. They were at a loss.
Bamboo tubes of similar thickness were put down one by one. They had a tenon structure, and a little twine was added to stabilize the tube.
"Fix the support and attach the main body of the pressure well." The Blacksmith shouted again.
The glued tube was connected, and the support below was stabilized.
The others assembled the components of the pressure well, added water, and led the water out of the well.
"Done, done. The small hole is a success." One of the Blacksmiths cheered.
The other Alliance Blacksmiths jumped up and down. They were witnessing history.
With such a thick hole, they could drill all the way down and there was a well.
They knew what this meant. It was more than ten times faster than the well they dug, and there was no danger of it collapsing.
If they drilled on the ground, the bottom would be damaged. At worst, they could just find a new place and they would be fine.
The Blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Village smiled, but they soon calmed down.
It was normal for the technology provided by Dongzhu to reach such a level.
"The one who gets Li Yi will get the world." Li Chengqi muttered inexplicably. Then, he shook his head and laughed self-mockingly. "If I were the emperor, I would be too busy."
Li Chengqi admitted that he was not cut out to be the emperor.
His third brother was indeed better than him. At least he knew how to use people.
Previously, his third brother was also very anxious. How would he deal with the situation if he became the emperor?
Therefore, he used Yao Chong, a veteran, to watch and learn at the same time. He was biased towards Yao Chong.
The day he learned was the day Yao Chong would be crippled.
Unfortunately, Brother Yi came out. Yao Chong's status would be lowered, but the time he would be crippled would be prolonged.
Li Chengqi understood this very well. He felt that Yao Chong should thank his Brother Yi.
"Go and buy some cooked food. It's not far from Xi City. Let's eat it."
Li Chengqi did not want to think too much. He decided to let the Alliance's Blacksmiths who participated in the drilling have a good meal.
Then, he turned around and entered the car with the six Blacksmiths. He did not want to eat cooked food bought from Xi City. There was a casserole in the car.
Just as he entered the car, another car that looked different drove over.
"The rented car is not comfortable." Zhang Shuo complained in the car.
"Drilling a well. Good ability." Yao Chong did not care about comfort. He had already sent someone to investigate and obtained a result. Now, he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Lu Huaishen lifted the curtain and looked at it. He shook his head. "It's really a pressure well. They are able to extract water. Li Yi, you are really a heaven-defying genius."
"I know." Zhang Shuo spoke again. "King Song is not lying. He is going to the Shu Lands to drill a salt well."
"Drilling a well, drilling a salt well. Good. What a good plan. We are going to use it now." Yao Chong smiled. He was convinced. He was really convinced!
"Is he trying to deceive everyone?" Lu Huaishen had another idea.
