Chapter 305 What is a universal size?

Everyone around him looked at him.

Zi'an raised his eyebrows.

"You understand this?"

"How could a merchant not know how to calculate the value of goods?"

Some of the more irritated saintesses didn't want to stand there any longer.

She instinctively grinned at Zi'an.

"That guy's all muscle and brains—!"

Li Mosi was lost in thought and didn't have time to anticipate what was happening.

Let's have a discussion, but let's speak politely.

He ignored Hagi Saint and turned to Zi Mo.

"You understand?"

"I know a little bit."

Zi Mo paused for a moment, then nodded after quickly thinking it over in his mind.

"Master, these woolen fabrics are roughly the correct size."

"A whole bolt of cloth is enough to make a complete winter outfit for two adults and a child, including a coat, trousers, an overcoat, and a cape."

Ziyi and Zian were thinking, and Li Mosi nodded gently.

Zi Mo paused, then spoke faster.

"After cutting, the leftover scraps can be used to make gloves and hats for three people. If all of them are used to make children's sizes, one bolt of cloth can make twelve sets. Goblins are about the same size as children."

Apart from Hagi Saint, whose mouth was being held by Li Mosi, the others around him nodded.

Zi Mo raised his hand and pointed to the leather on the car.

"These leathers have already undergone preliminary processing. We're not considering any embellishments; we're just making the simplest leather boots. A complete adult cowhide can make eight pairs of adult shoes, or fourteen pairs of children's shoes. Sheepskin would yield about half that."

"Once you've determined a few universal sizes, you can simply cut the leather and sew it together according to those sizes, which will be very fast."

Zi'an and Ziyi exchanged a glance.

They never even considered how much stuff these resources could produce!

Zi Mo was able to give such precise numbers...

Moreover, the expression on his face was quite calm...

clap clap-

Amidst the murmurs of the people, Zi'an heard footsteps approaching rapidly.

Zi'an turned his head to look.

It's Farol.

Farol had just finished distributing the children who needed care to different families on the east and west estates and was only now returning.

As he approached, Zi'an quickly waved.

"Farol".

"What is it?"

Under Farol's questioning gaze, Zian roughly repeated what Zimo had said.

Then she asked.

"Can the tailors and leatherworkers on the estate make what I just mentioned?"

Farol frowned.

"Universal sizes? What are those? Don't you have to measure the length of each item when making clothes and shoes? How can you make them without taking measurements?"

Do the people here speak so directly?

Zi Mo glanced at Farol, then looked at Li Mosi.

Having spent so much time together, Farol was already very open with Li Moss and the others.

He and the people here all know that the new lord only cares about whether they can do their job well.

Li Moss reflected on the current situation of the Stern Territory.

The tailors here are still using the most primitive method of tailoring, focusing on one-on-one service, which is extremely inefficient.

They have absolutely no concept of average size.

However, the fact that Zi Mo could say this shows that things are completely different in the city.

Perhaps he comes from a larger city?

Li Mosi didn't understand.

The original owner had no idea what the more distant places looked like.

"It's alright, they don't need to understand."

Zi Mo shook his head.

"I remember what all the standard sizes look like. Just have them cut them according to the pattern I drew."

"As long as there's a pattern, they can just cut it according to it."

This is just like how our late master tied strips of cloth to a tree and then ordered his people to cut it down; there would never be any problems.

Farol didn't quite understand, so he looked at Li Moss instead.

Surely our late teacher wouldn't leave them unable to understand, would he?

Li Mosi nodded in agreement.

"Okay, we'll do it your way. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

It's a good thing that disciples are willing to take the initiative to showcase their talents.

But he'll be returning to his tribe soon, and then he won't be able to look after the human territory.

Even after following him for so long, Zi Yi still encounters random troublemakers, resulting in a series of unfortunate events.

He was also unsure about Zi Mo's competence.

He chose to ask one more question.

"Yes, Master."

Zi Mo turned his head and looked at the group of people who were craning their necks to look.

"I might not need that many people."

"Um?"

Why?

Zi'an and Ziyi expressed their doubts.

But Zi Mo was not interrupted by the two of them.

"Tailors and leatherworkers might hire a few villagers as helpers to move things. They're not suited for delicate work, and the craftsmen wouldn't let them touch it either."

Zi Yi immediately shook his head.

"No, we can get them to cooperate."

My late teacher just said that yesterday!

Zi'an nodded beside him.

what?

Zi Mo looked at Li Mosi with a puzzled expression.

Cooperate?

How to cooperate?

When Li Mosi saw Zi Mo's expression, she immediately realized what was going on.

Zi Mo was only accepted as a disciple last night and had no idea about the plan he had discussed with Zi Yi and Zi An yesterday afternoon.

He thought for a moment, then spoke.

Have you ever seen flowing water in a river?

Zi Mo nodded.

Ziyi and Zian nodded in agreement.

My late teacher told them the general method yesterday, but he didn't explain the specifics.

"The water flows continuously from high to low, and each section is connected."

Li Mosi raised her hand and made a wave shape in mid-air.

"The same applies to making clothes and shoes. If you want to be efficient, don't let one craftsman do it from start to finish."

He looked at the mountain of leather and fabric.

"Taking measurements and drawing lines is one step; cutting leather and fabric is another; punching holes and sewing is yet another. All the work can be broken down into steps."

Li Mosi withdrew her hand and looked into Zi Mo's eyes.

"The craftsmen only do the most delicate work, such as drawing the lines and finishing the edges. The rest of the rough work is all left to the people."

"Their main task is to teach the people how to do it, and then make sure the people have done it correctly."

Oh!

Farol suddenly realized.

That's about the same difficulty as mending clothes at home!

Seeing that the three disciples were still confused, Farol seemed to understand, and Li Mosi chose to compare them using past experiences.

"Normally, when building houses or structures like heated brick beds, aren't the craftsmen supposed to do it by hand? But when we were building these houses and heated brick beds, did they actually do a lot of work themselves?"

He didn't need to say anything more.

The three disciples had already started shaking their heads.

Aside from the stonemason having to do the bricklaying himself, the craftsmen and their eldest sons mostly acted as supervisors.

After shaking their heads twice, Zi'an and Ziyi raised their eyebrows and immediately understood the difference in efficiency.

Zi Mo's eyes widened.

Is that how it is?

"Mmm!"

Feeling the vibration in her hand, Li Mosi looked at Hagi Saint.

The saintess had a strong desire for communication.

Is this craftsman serious?

Let those people take on the work of craftsmen?

This is digging up the roots!

"Hiss~"

Zi Mo also thought of this and suddenly gasped.

"My late master..."

Upon hearing him speak, Li Mosi, Ziyi, and Zian looked over again.

Zi Mo continued, somewhat hesitantly.

"That's probably difficult."

"Craftsmen value their skills more than their lives; apprentices have to endure more than ten years before they can even touch the real techniques. Breaking up the work and subcontracting it out is like smashing their rice bowl and giving it to the peasants. They won't do it."

"Um."

Farol nodded slightly.

Seeing Li Mosi and the others looking over, he immediately spoke.

"However, I believe they will obey any orders given by adults."

Li Mo pondered.

The system in this world is indeed still medieval.

If it were in the manor, that would be one thing.

Given the limited number of people and the small market, it's normal for artisan families to pass down their skills from generation to generation.

But Zi Mo is clearly a city dweller.

The technical barriers of the guilds have emerged.

However, Li Mosi did not intend to discuss this.

Seeing that Farol had pledged his loyalty, he spoke directly.

"Go and summon all the tailors, leatherworkers, and other craftsmen."

"it is good."

Farol didn't dare to delay and immediately ran into the crowd.

Soon, dozens of craftsmen and their eldest sons were led to Li Mosi and his companions.

They rubbed their hands together, looking at Li Mosi and the others with some nervousness.

Li Mosi got straight to the point.
