Chapter 78 - 78. Resolute Killing

Tian Erya was so frightened that she trembled, she didn't dare to reach out for the knife.

"What? You want me to demonstrate how to cut people first? That's fine, I'll show you a sacrifice first!" Zhou Changkui picked up the knife and aimed at Boss Zhao's head to chop off.

Tian Erya hurriedly stood in front of Boss Zhao: "Master Zhou, we are now grasshoppers on the same line as you. We are sitting on the same boat. We have no way out, we can only complete the task. If you kill him alone, we will It lacks the support of Zhao Ji Scissors. Boss Zhao knows his mistake, please forgive him this time."

Zhou Changkui snorted: "Hurry up and report the cost price of the raw materials. You must start forging scissors as soon as possible. I want to see the progress. You'd better work hard. If you can't supply [-] scissors within half a month, I am ashamed to see Shengyan and jump directly into the river, and you bosses of the sword shop will be ransacked and executed by me first."

Boss Zhao and the others kowtowed again and again, until he turned around and left without seeing his figure, they breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies went limp, and they knelt down on the ground.

Tian Erya looked at them: "Everyone, in order to save time, we can only start with the raw materials in stock of each company. You write down a cost price, put it in an envelope, and give it to me together. I will hand it over to Wubei Yuan." Of course, if you want to be dishonest and report falsely high prices, Master Zhou will be in charge of checking the accounts. Closing the store is a trivial matter, everyone can figure it out!"

Zheng Zongde said: "We can cooperate with you as much as possible, but you have to know that our Long Shunhe's scissors have exclusive skills, which are different from theirs. How do you plan to let us all forge scissors step by step?"

"I have observed the scissors of each family, and I have a general understanding of each family's strengths. For the time being, I will divide the labor, and the Zhao family will be in charge of cutting wrought iron; The Xie family is responsible for the final polishing."

Boss Xie jumped up: "It's too unfair for you to divide like this. If you can share the raw materials with the first four of you, we will do some chores of sharpening scissors. I, Xie Ji, will also participate in the technical work in front."

Tian Er is a big girl, she didn't expect her first decision to be rejected.

Zheng Yuansheng whispered to Tian Erya: "They all want to make money on raw materials. If each family controls and manages the iron and fuel materials in the process of forging scissors, and the rest belongs to them, they will benefit. Ketu, you have to distribute evenly."

Tian Erya was overjoyed, and immediately processed his words to convey: "The raw materials are distributed according to the share of scissors purchased by the Armed Forces Institute, and each family manages them. The formed scissors are sent to the Zheng family for processing."

Zheng Zongde had an opinion: "Our Zhengjia's blacksmith yard is not open to the public. If the sword shops of each family keep sending scissors to our Zheng's house, it will easily disturb our order. I suggest that each of the four sword shops of the four houses sell the scissors The wrought iron bars and handles are forged, and the rivets are finished and sent to Zheng’s family, and we will do the final processing.”

Boss Wang sneered: "What are you talking about to disturb your family? I think you are afraid that we will learn the scissor-making skills of your Zheng family!"

"So what? Our Zheng family's scissors skills must not be seen by outsiders."

Tian Erya was very helpless: "It can't be placed in Zheng's house, where is the right place to do the final processing and inspection?"

The bosses ignored it.

Zheng Yuansheng reminded in a low voice: "You forgot what my third brother is doing?"

Tian Erya's eyes lit up: "I think we put all the work of forging scissors at the iron mine of the third young master of the Zheng family. It is remote and the blacksmithing does not affect others. We just worked hard for Mr. Zheng to clear it up for our third young master and get him to agree. Everyone use that place."

Boss Huaji nodded: "It's good to put iron ore in the iron mine and still keep the raw materials. Even if it's a big iron furnace, it's okay. So many blacksmiths can be placed. It just depends on whether the boss agrees or not?"

Zheng Zongde chuckled: "Don't worry, everyone, I, Zheng, am not a stingy person. In order to keep us all safe and sound, I am so willing to provide iron ore to forge scissors for everyone."

The place was finalized, and the work was arranged. Each family would make the arrangements. They left separately. Tian Erya followed slowly at the end, stuffing things in her head, involving disputes and conflicts of interests among the various families. Make her feel helpless.

Seeing that her eyes were out of focus, Zheng Yuansheng was walking in the opposite direction at the intersection in a daze, and quickly stopped her: "What are you going to do?"

Tian Erya came back to her senses, found that she had gone the wrong way, turned around and walked back: "Fourth young master, thank you today, it's fortunate that you gave me gestures in the audience, otherwise, I would definitely be in big trouble."

"You don't have to thank me. If I want to say thank you, I should also thank you. Without you, my father and brothers would not know what to do today! Also, you are really smart. Let me talk about strokes again. I'm afraid you won't Understand what I mean, I didn't expect that you not only understood, but also reacted much better than I imagined."

Tian Erya grinned a smile uglier than crying: "Fourth young master, you are really kind-hearted and good at complimenting others."

"I'm telling the truth." Zheng Yuansheng handed her a piece of crisp candy: "My heart is bitter, but if I eat something sweet, I will be happier."

"I don't feel bitter, I just feel that I am too stupid. If I don't do well, I may drag others down."

"Argh, don't think that way. If you don't do well, you won't drag others down, but they will drag you down. Without you, Mr. Zhou would definitely punish the bosses of the sword shop including my father severely."

Tian Erya couldn't help laughing: "You should be the only fourth young master who thinks this way. Those people want to tear me apart."

Zheng Yuansheng couldn't help smiling when he saw her dancing gestures: "The bosses of those sword shops also know it in their hearts, thank you very much, but when they mention money, their attention is attracted, but when they calm down, they will be glad that there will be money." You come out."

"Next time, I won't be in the first place. My ancestors said that shooting the first bird is the right thing to do. Today, when I am in the first place, bang! I caused a lot of trouble. I don't know how to end it."

Just as Zheng Yuansheng was about to comfort her, she slapped her head: "By the way, the most important thing now is to find a blacksmith. We need to gather all the blacksmiths in the surrounding area to save manpower. Hurry up and urge your father and sword The owner of the shop went to the countryside to recruit people.”

"Okay. I'll go right away."

Tian Erya stretched her waist: "When things come, you have to carry them. If you work every day, maybe you can really finish [-] scissors in half a month. Fight!"

Seeing her cheering up, Zheng Yuansheng laughed out loud.

"Don't just laugh! Hurry up and ask someone to search for it. The number of good blacksmiths is limited. It's best to find someone who is experienced, young and strong. If you arrive late, you will be snatched away by other merchants."

Zheng Yuansheng saw her recovering, smiled and ran away.

Tian Erya threw the halva into her mouth, and the sweet taste filled her mouth.

Even though Tian Erya had to be mentally prepared, she never expected that after getting started, there would be many things to do, and everything would still be a challenge.

She needed to keep track of how many iron stoves each household had, the blacksmith's salary, wrought iron and fuel consumption, and other dense numbers, which drove her to the brink of collapse. Fortunately, Zheng Yuansheng was by her side to keep accounts.

Seeing his son closely following Tian Erya, Zheng Zongde was dissatisfied: "The day of the scientific examination is coming, you must concentrate on studying, don't waste time here."

Zheng Yuansheng looked through the accounts: "Father, I am studying and I am confident that I will pass the exam. Don't worry about it."

"You have nothing to do with Tian Erya now. Why do you help her keep accounts and join her? How troublesome it is to let others misunderstand."

"Father, Tian Erya now forges scissors for five of our sword shops, and is busy day and night on imperial missions. It is not easy. By helping her, I am also helping our Zheng family."

Zheng Zongde had no choice but to watch Tian Erya gather the shopkeepers of my sword shop together, throw the submitted iron bars in front of them, and let them go back to process again, and then directly deduct the money and report it to the government for disposal.He felt that this country girl grew up too fast.She was submissive when she first came to Zheng's residence, but now she has a decisive look on her face.

When Tian Erya was busy and devastated, Old Man Tian came over with his son Tie Zhu.
