After finding a house, Ye Qingshan also said that there was no need to worry about the Minister of War, he would handle the matters over there, so Ye Laosan began to prepare some renovations to the yard.
He went back to the carpentry workshop and brought with him several people who had already agreed to come to the capital to work with him, including Wang Ge.
When a few people arrived at the courtyard in the capital, they looked around and had a basic idea in their minds.
This courtyard has three entrances in total. Although the main house has only three rooms, there are side rooms on both sides.
There are also two side rooms on the east and west sides in the second and third courtyards.
The most important thing is that the first yard is spacious, which is suitable for making furniture.
But before opening, we still need to renovate this place first.
As Ye Lao San led his men around the yard, he said, "I think it would be enough for all of us to live in the third courtyard.
"The east and west wing rooms in the second entrance are used as warehouses to store wood.
"You can put up a few tables in the main room. It's perfect for carving or making small exquisite things.
"The first entrance is spacious. Let's build a platform and a canopy. We'll make furniture here. Do you have any suggestions?"
These were the rough ideas that Ye Lao San had in mind when he first came to see the yard. When he mentioned them now, everyone else thought they were quite appropriate and had no objections.
Wang Ge said directly: "Third brother, your idea is very good, let's do it!
"We're all experienced, so there's no need to hire anyone for this little bit of yard work. We can get it done quickly."
It would be best if we didn't have to spend money to hire someone to do it, but Ye Lao San hesitated and said, "But I have something on hand recently that I might need to spend some time thinking about. This yard..."
Wang Ge immediately understood his unspoken intention and said directly, "Third brother, you should be busy with your own things. We can handle these things here."
"Yeah, Third Brother, even if you're alright, you don't need to do this little job!"
"That's right. This is something we're all familiar with. Just focus on your work and come back for inspection."
Several other people also echoed Wang Ge's words.
Needless to say, Wang Ge has been wholeheartedly following Ye Lao San's lead ever since he was brought here by Ye Lao San to make building blocks and made a lot of money.
Before the other people came, they had often heard Wang Ge talking about it, and they had long known that Ye Lao San was now the new boss with the same investment as the old boss.
It is naturally impossible for everyone to get along like before.
There is no reason to let the boss do these trivial tasks.
Ye Lao San was full of apologies, and kept explaining: "It was mainly because Master Liu, the construction supervisor, gave me a blueprint and asked me to help him figure it out, so it really is...
He was unable to make the transition to the new role for a while, thinking that they were all brothers who worked together normally, and it was inappropriate to drag them here to work while he himself did not come, so he felt sincerely sorry.
But when other people heard it, it couldn't help but feel that it sounded a bit like showing off.
After all, they had no idea that Ye Lao San had already helped Master Liu, the director of the construction department.
So a few people looked at each other and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
We didn't say anything, so why do you have to drag the Chief of Construction into this and put pressure on us?
Are you trying to show off your friendship with the people in charge of the construction?
Some people even think that Ye Laosan is just bragging.
What is the Jiangzuojian? It is the place where things are made for the emperor. The people in it are the best craftsmen selected from all over the country. Why would they ask you for help with something they can't make?
Seeing the other people's expressions change slightly, Ye Laosan thought they were worried that they would have nothing to do after the business opened.
He hurriedly added, "Don't worry about the business after the opening. My fourth son's wedding is coming soon, and we need to buy a full set of new furniture for the house.
"So after we open, we'll focus on this business first, and I'll find ways to attract other businesses later."
Wang Ge immediately understood the identities of the other people. After all, who would have thought that Ye Laosan, who came from a woodworking workshop in the county town, would be related to the Chief of Construction.
So he quickly helped out, saying, "Master Liu is looking for you again? It seems like he wants you to help him finish that wood carving. He must be impressed by you!"
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and deliberately said to the others, "You don't know yet, do you? Our third brother is too low-key and never likes to brag about how capable he is.
"When we were called to the capital by the Qin Mansion to help with some work, Third Brother met Master Liu, the Chief of Construction, by chance.
"At that time, I was loaned out to the Chief Architect to help with wood carving, so I had to work with a group of the Chief Architect's apprentices every day.
"What kind of place is the General's Office? Even their apprenticeship is beyond our reach.
"I have nothing to talk about with him. I'm almost suffocating every day. I'm looking forward to my third brother coming back soon!"
When the other people heard this, the complaints and thoughts in their hearts instantly disappeared.
Anyone who is noticed by the master who oversees the construction is definitely not an ordinary person!
No wonder the boss came to Beijing to open a woodworking workshop and wanted to cooperate with Ye Lao San. It turns out there is such a reason!
The way several people looked at Ye Lao San was different from before.
Such a capable person, yet he is so friendly and has no airs, which is really awe-inspiring.
Wang Ge came to his senses as he was talking, and couldn't help asking, "Third brother, what did Master Liu ask you to make this time?"
"It's also a wood carving, but it's very complicated. They tried many times but failed. I happened to meet him when I came to rent a house that day. He gave me a drawing and asked me to help him come up with a plan."
Wang Ge touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Third brother, if you can make this, wouldn't our woodworking workshop's reputation spread all over the place?
"By then, there'll be no need for us to advertise and solicit customers. Customers will flock to us and form long queues at the door!"
The other people immediately came to their senses.
Isn’t it!
If Ye Lao San can figure out something that even the master craftsman can't make, how could his reputation and fame be better than this!
All of them immediately stared at Ye Lao San with burning eyes.
"Third brother, our business here depends on you."
"Third brother, you will be fine. We believe in you."
"Third brother, don't worry and go ahead. We will absolutely clean up according to your suggestions. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
"Third brother..."
Now all the carpenters, old and young, followed Wang Ge and started calling him Third Brother.
Ye Laosan instantly felt the pressure coming like a mountain.
