When he was just a newcomer, Chen Liang couldn't make any requests. Mao Geng gave him a very generous treatment. In addition to his monthly salary of 40 stalemates, he also gave him a 3% dividend equity. Judging from the development momentum of the West China Contract Team, Chen Liang's annual income will not be less than 2,000 stalemates.

There is nothing else, but Chen Liang felt that the font size of the "Contractor Team" was too rustic and hoped to change the font size. Mao Geng laughed in his heart. It turned out that Chen Liang was still a little unhappy about being called the general contractor. That's nothing, so change the font size.

Chen Liang felt that at least the word "creation" should be reflected in the font size. Chen Liang cited the book "Creation Framework" published during the Xining period as evidence that the font size should be changed to "Western China Construction Team". However, Mao Geng believed that the scope of "creation" is too wide. For example, the newly completed water wheel winch can also be regarded as "creation". Building a house belongs to the construction industry in the future, and at least one word "construction". In addition, if you want to change it, just change a novel font size. Mao Geng thought that the "companies" in later generations are everywhere, but it was the first in the Song Dynasty. Anyway, Chen Liang is famous for his arrogant behavior. Even if he creates a novel font size, people in the world will definitely be surprised.

Thinking of this, Mao Geng put forward his own name change plan:

"Brother Tongfu, I think it's better to call it 'Xihua Construction Company'. The word "company" is the fair "public", and "sili" is Siko, Sima's "sili". Brother Tongfu, what do you think?"

Chen Liang slapped the table and shouted:

"Okay! Brother Yisheng is worthy of being Yisheng. In addition to being knowledgeable and memorable, he can also learn and apply it. It is rare to think of the word "company"! Confucius said, "The public is the wealth of several people and the officials are the one who operates." Zhuangzi said, "The way to accumulate defects is high, combine small and large, merge and become public is called a company." Although Brother Yu also knows the origin of these two places of the "company", he never thinks of using it as a font. The best name is, it is it!"

Mao Geng was a little amused and cried for a moment, thinking that I know nothing, you, Chen Liang, are really knowledgeable and memorable. He suddenly found two authoritative etymology about "company" in his mind, which can be as good as the later generations of Drama (Baidu). He just transferred the commercial name of the future generations to the Song Dynasty. He originally thought it was a scorpion shit - the only one, but he suddenly verified that this was an old concept from more than a thousand years ago. Cough cough! How could this be worthy of human feelings!

But everyone likes to listen to good words. Mao Geng felt that at least the word "broad news" was not an exaggeration to him. In the Song Dynasty, who else could be more knowledgeable than him?

Since Chen Liang used the sages of the saint as annotation, "Xiang Hua Construction Company" does not have to be shy, but can instead make this font size openly. So, while chatting and laughing, the "Xiang Hua Contract Team" with a low level was suddenly upgraded to "Xiang Hua Construction Company", and the famous scholar Chen Liang was honored as the first director. Of course, Mao Geng was also above the director.

The latest personnel appointment was notified to Qujiadong as soon as possible. Xiang Yixuan participated in the trial sailing ceremony the day before yesterday. He was very proud of the famous famous Chen Liang who came to the scene to cut the ribbon. Xiang Yixuan was full of admiration like Chen Liang's fans in the audience - "Jelly". But suddenly this gentleman was appointed as the director by Mao Geng. What's going on with this director? However, when he agreed that the management power would be handed over to Mao Geng, Qujiadong was not convenient to argue.

Mao Geng led Chen Liang to Baixi and immediately brought Qujiadong congratulations to Yixuan as the representative of Qujiadong. Chen Liang did not take Qujiadong seriously at all. To put it bluntly, Qujiadong was just a smuggling bandit nest that could not be on the surface. Thanks to robbing Mao Geng as a military advisor, Qujiadong has its current reputation.

Now everyone in Qujiadong is grateful to Mao Geng because Mao Geng brought them wealth. Qu Yaolong made up the bill, and Qujiadong has earned more than 22,000 chunks of money so far, which is definitely unimaginable in previous years.

According to Xiang Yixuan, the new famous scholar Chen Liang was willing to condescend to be the leader of the former bandit, which was worthy of Qujiadong. Although this lord cannot be said to be a call for the wind and rain in the Song Dynasty, based on his name, I am afraid that the West China contract team - now called "West China Construction Company", Qu Yaolong is a little unaccustomed to it - can really achieve Lin'an in one fell swoop. Maybe in the future, the whole Song Dynasty will have a popular house built by "West China". Qu Yaolong weighed it and thought that this was not bad. Anyway, Mao Geng had a clear account and the money he earned was still much more than Qujiadong. It is said that Chen Liang's share was also taken out by Mao Geng from his own share.

Qu Jiadong's attitude towards Chen Liang was actually very enthusiastic, which Mao Geng had never expected. Qu Jiadong sent Chen Liang a maid, and it was said that he was planning to find a beautiful concubine for Chen Liang. Xiang Yixuan also came to invite Mao Geng to consult:

"Mr. Mao, Chen Liang is a famous scholar. Since he is willing to be the director of the West China Construction Company, our Qujiadong must also make a statement. Chen Liang is alone and at this age, Qu's family means that he wants to buy a beautiful concubine for Chen Liang, but he doesn't know what kind of woman Mr. Chen Liang likes, so I came to ask Mr. Mao and ask Mr. Mao to take a detailed look!"

When Mao Geng arrived in the Song Dynasty, he realized that concubines could be traded at will. There are temporary and formal professions. The ones given to Chen Liang by Qu Jiadong should be a contract-based concubine. Anyway, Chen Liang, the director, was at most two years and did not need to give a lifelong concubine. If you want to buy a slightly handsome concubine, it would probably take at least a few thousand chunks. Qu Jiadong could not have such a trick. Mao Geng was not very interested in such things that were similar to pimping, so he said perfunctorily:

"Well, as long as a woman with such a three-point appearance is sent to Chen Liang, you don't need to ask me about this."

What else does an old cow have to do when eating young grass? Mao Geng muttered so much in his heart.

Xiang Yixuan originally wanted to see what Mao Geng had about this. If Mao Geng thought it was bad and thought Qu Jiadong wanted to win over Chen Liang privately, it would be a mistake.

Chen Liang loved the wine and the beautiful women. When he heard that he could still enjoy the special treatment of Qu Jiadong as the director, he was naturally happy.

Considering that the construction business is in a stage of rapid development, Chen Liangxin took office and the first thing he did was to formulate a development plan. According to the current development momentum, almost all the male men in Qujiadong have been mobilized. Those who burn bricks and those who build houses must develop, and the next step is to recruit people from the outside.

However, Qujiadong is obviously a little resistant to recruiting people, and Qujiadong's worries are not unreasonable. Once outsiders are recruited, Qujiadong's people may become supporting roles, which is difficult for Qujiadong people to accept.

But Qujiadong also admitted that just because of the few people in Qujiadong, if they build a few more houses at the same time, they would be unable to do so.

Chen Liang was originally ambitious and wanted to become bigger and stronger, but he was not here to stay for Qu Jiadong. He was very unhappy at the moment and claimed that if he could not recruit people, Chen Liang would not be interested in becoming the director of the "Xiang Hua Construction Company".

The two sides were a little stale for a while, and Mao Geng couldn't figure out why Qu Jiadong refused to give in this regard. Mao Geng thought, this is not about rebellion, but only rebellion requires the purity of the team. What's wrong with Qu Jiadong! He was also a little unhappy.

However, Mao Geng was not worried. After all, the people in Qujiadong couldn't make a fuss and would eventually compromise. It would be better to just leave them alone.

Mao Geng pulled Chen Liang to get to know everything about him, thinking that if Qu Jiadong ultimately refused to compromise, it would be that Qu Jiadong had violated the original agreement and could start a new job. If Chen Liang wanted to be a construction contractor, he would not have to hang himself on the tree of Qu Jiadong.

Mao Geng first took Chen Liang to visit the workshop where tiles were made in Qujiadong. Now this workshop has also started to use hydraulic brick presses. In Mao Geng's eyes, the hydraulic brick presses that are not even semi-automatic, still shocked Chen Liang. What opened Chen Liang's eyes the most was the kiln built upwards in the open air. A kiln was loading a kiln. Chen Liang looked carefully and asked a lot, and Mao Geng explained one by one.

The other two kilns were burning. From the gap between bricks, you could see that it was burning red inside. A flame was spewing out of the gap slightly wider. Chen Liang was curious and leaned forward. The flame suddenly rushed over, almost burning Chen Liang's proud beard. Chen Liang smiled mockly, and didn't care.

Mao Geng talked about the taboo issue of the red bricks. In order to make a county tax revenue, County Magistrate Xu turned a blind eye, and did not interfere with the excuse of Yao people's customs. However, in Xinhua and Anhua, where Yao people had only been painted into cement gray or painted with a layer of lime, which undoubtedly increased the cost of building a house. It was not a blessing for the people of the Song Dynasty. Chen Liang smiled and then boasted that there was no need to worry about this matter. Such a small matter could be lifted by just a little operation. After hearing this, Mao Geng was skeptical, and for Chen Liang, he could only believe what he said with reservations.

After seeing the brick-burning workshop, I came to the Youxi base, where there are crucible steelmaking and a newly opened tiling workshop. In addition, the glass workshop is also ready to be built here.

Mao Geng briefly introduced the crucible steelmaking method, and only said that the steel refined using this method is much better than other steels in the Song Dynasty. Chen Liang just felt novel and had no idea about how to make crucible steelmaking method. Mao Geng just smiled and didn't explain it any more.

Mao Geng wants Chen Liang to focus on visiting the tiles making workshop, where two types of cement tiles are being made here.

What Chen Liang saw first was a square cement tiles with curved surface grooves. This kind of tiles is three or four times larger than common roof tiles. Mao Geng introduced:

"Brother Tongfu, this kind of tiles is made of cement and does not need to be fired, but only needs to be reversed."

This square cement tiles are a simplified version of the colored cement tiles from later generations. Because they cannot be pressed for the time being, their structure has been modified to a shape suitable for manual casting. In the workshop, a row of bottom molds are lined up, and the cement mortar is poured into the bottom mold, and the excess cement mortar is scraped off with a wooden scraper with two arches. The casting of a piece of cement tiles is declared complete.

Mao Geng continues to introduce:

"This kind of tiles can also be made into high-end tiles. If bamboo fiber is mixed in it, it will have better strength and it will be difficult to break even if it falls. I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to use it. Brother Tongfu, who do you think can afford it if it makes high-end tiles?"

Chen Liang blurted out:

"Haha, the first thing Brother Yu thought of was that Jiaxuan could afford it. By the way, Han Zhaizhou and Han family could afford it. Think about it again, there are so many things to afford it! It's obvious what the roof covered is superior."

When Mao Geng heard this, he lifted Xin Qiji out casually. It seemed that the relationship was indeed unusual. Legend has it that Xin Qiji is very good at doing business and should be a good deal. Mao Geng led Chen Liang to the display of the model of cement tiles, where a small inclined surface that simulates the roof was built. A cement tiles about four feet square were covered on the inclined surface of bamboo. Mao Geng lifted up a piece and said:

"Brother Tongfu, come and see, here is a sample of the matte cover. However, a small piece on the left and above is covered by two other tiles. If you cover it like this, you will not leak water. The second is very beautiful. Take a look and see, can this look behold your magical eyes?"

When Chen Liang saw that the effect of the cover seemed flattering and beautiful than the old-fashioned tile, he said:

"You can ask Jiaxuan to replace many of his houses with this kind of tiles. When others see that Jiaxuan uses this kind of tiles, they will definitely follow the trend."

Mao Geng thought to himself, if you keep silent, Xin Jiaxuan, you feel very good about yourself!

Mao Geng just said:

"Brother Tongfu, come and take a look here again, it's not too late to comment."

On the other side is a workshop for making fiber cement tiles. Several people are making large tiles four feet long and one and a half feet wide. Mao Geng introduced:

"This kind of tiles is cheaper than the square tiles on the other side, and it is very quick to build. Most people in the Song Dynasty can afford this large-format tiles by then."

This fiber cement tiles were inspired by Yang Zhe and others. On that day, Yang Zhe used cement to make up for leaks on the thatched roof. The next day, Mao Geng had an idea and suddenly remembered the asbestos cement tiles invented by a Chinese farmer in later generations. They are a legend in the history of building materials. Asbestos cement tiles were cheap tiles widely used in rural areas in the 1900s and were still used in the 21st century. In any case, this kind of tiles is at least much better than thatched roof.

Asbestos was not found in this era, but bamboo fibers that were fumigated can replace asbestos. So Mao Geng immediately arranged a trial production, using a water pestle to crush the bamboo into long short fibers, soak it with lime, and then fumigate it. The bamboo fibers can be used to make tiles. You can't say that the tensile strength of bamboo fibers is extremely high, and the cement tiles made of bamboo fibers are actually very good, which made Mao Geng overjoyed.

In order to make it affordable for all the people of the Song Dynasty, Mao Geng test reduced the amount of cement to the limit, used a lot of sand and stone to replace cement, and added lime and gypsum. Finally, he found a cheap formula. Of course, the cheapest cement tiles can only be used for their own use. First, it is used to replace the thatched roof of the base, which is considered to be a test and inspection.

Mao Geng thought, not knowing how Chen Liang viewed such cheap big tiles. This man with a high vision did not know if he would look down on such cheap tiles.

Chen Liang looked at it, touched it again, felt the effect of the boulevard-mounted cover model, and squinted his eyes and said:

"This kind of tiles is good, very good! I think Lu Fangweng should be the first to use this kind of tiles. Lu Fangweng is not well-off. Jiaxuan tried to help him several times and asked him to build a few decent houses, but his old master refused to accept it. Now, I will build a few tiles for Lu Fangweng. For Lu Fangweng, he will neither make money nor pay for it. He will never be so pedantic that he refuses even this!"

After hearing Chen Liang's words, Mao Geng stood there on the spot for a while and said for a long time:

"I agree with Brother Gao Yi, Tongfu, but I really don't know if Lu Fangweng can accept your kindness."

Chen Liang sighed and said with a sigh:

"Actually, Brother Yu is not as good as Brother Yi Sheng. Brother Yu can only say it on his lips now, and Yi Sheng is really considering the people of the world. Du Fu's poem says, "How can you get thousands of houses in the vast building, and the poor people in the world be happy!", Peach and plum blossoms do not speak, and you will make your own path. Yi Sheng's realm is called high! I, Chen Liang, also has a dream from now on. If you can build tens of millions of houses for the people of the world in your lifetime, and let millions of people hide from the rain and cold, this life is enough!"
