The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 52 Civil Safety Brought by China Heavy Industries

Zhang Quan, Xu Ning, Xiao Jiu.

A person who is closest to me, a talent that I have found to be valuable for cultivation, and a seedling with the spirit of special research that I value.

No one should be underestimated, because everyone has unlimited possibilities.

Zhu Gaochi picked up some fish meat with his chopsticks, and it tasted good, so he picked up another chopstick.

Four people gathered around a table, except for Zhu Gaochi, the other two were timid. Under the influence of the two, Xiao Jiu became nervous even though she was not nervous at first.

"Has the engineering team gone well recently?" Zhu Gaochi asked casually.

Although Xu Ning was still eating, he was careful with every bite. Sure enough, when he heard the nobleman's question, he immediately replied clearly.

"Two experienced foremen were invited to lead the team, and the wages were high. Many of them were experienced workers, so there was no problem with the work."

Xiao Jiu didn't care about this topic, and ate quietly.When Zhang Quan heard the mention of the engineering team, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

He belongs to the eldest son, and the more powerful the eldest son is, the higher the boat will be with him.

"On the contrary, the owners of several mines are not satisfied with the warranty." Xu Ning asked the question with a smile.

There will be problems in doing things, and there will be problems if there are no problems, but the problems should not be too serious, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction.

The steam engine and the engineering team are in a cooperative relationship, but they don't do the engineering team's business. There is some relationship but not much, so it is most appropriate to bring it up.

Since he was taken in by his old club at the age of 12, in addition to doing odd jobs in the cabinet, his old club also taught him business books such as "Family Fortune".

Although Xu Ning is still young, his old club often praises him no matter how he observes his words, how he treats people, or how he speaks when he sees people, or even his initiative in doing things.

His old club often said that he would have a great future, but Xu Ning was very confused and didn't know where his future was.To bury the words of his old club in his heart, work hard, and accumulate business experience, Xu Ning is ambitious.

At least surpass the old club, for example, in a prosperous place, have a big shop of your own, and then a house.

Xu Ning tried his best to appear relaxed in front of the nobles to prove his talent. Since he has this opportunity, he will not miss it.

"A 20-year warranty, isn't it enough? It can't be guaranteed for a lifetime." Zhu Gaochi wondered after hearing the words.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "The owners outside only hear about the warranty, but they don't know enough about the meaning of the warranty."

The warranty is 20 years, just to prove that the steam engine can be used for 20 years.Whether it can be used for 20 years, who can guarantee it.

At least the materials used are sufficient, but the parts will definitely break.

"Warranty is not a replacement. If it is a replacement part, who would make a loss-making business." Zhu Gaochi didn't feel embarrassed.

"That's true." Xu Ning didn't refute, and smiled all over his face: "This business is the only one. When it's time to be tough, you still have to be tough. The more tough you are, the more others rush to buy."

Zhu Gaochi nodded approvingly. Xu Ning is a firm-minded person who can stand alone.

"Don't patronize the engineering team's projects, you should communicate more with Xiaojiu and learn more about the railway." Zhu Gaochi seriously explained the focus of Xu Ning's future career.

Xu Ning looked at Xiaojiu who raised his head blankly when he heard his name, envied him in his heart, and said with admiration: "In the future, I will bother Master Xiaojiu more. If there is anything wrong, Master Xiaojiu bluntly said tell each other."

"No." Xiao Jiu waved her hands repeatedly.

The people who sit again are not as important as Xiao Jiu, even if it is Zhang Quan, Zhu Gaochi is very satisfied with Xu Ning's attitude.

The booth of the engineering team has been spread out, and the team has also begun to run in, after all, it is necessary to do business.

The purpose of establishing an engineering team is not to compete with other foremen.He has more work here, and less work for other foremen.

What you have to do is increment, not stock.It's a bit too bullying in my own capacity to stare at the stock and compete with the people for profit.

Whoever snatches the job and can snatch the Yan Palace will be impeached sooner or later.

Zhu Gaochi left the factory, and when he went back, he was told by Yan Wang Zhu Di not to mention it, Xiao Jiu went to fiddle with his blueprints again, Xu Ning followed him to have a look, and suggested why not go to the engineering team and ask the foremen.

"The problem that I came up with may be different from the problem in reality. The foremen are familiar with this line of work and may be able to provide more ideas."

Xiao Jiu felt that what Xu Ning said made sense, so the two left the factory together. Although they had just met, under Xu Ning's guidance, the topics between the two gradually increased.

In the evening, when the red sunset glowed in the west, the handyman who specialized in timekeeping in the factory rang the gong at the gate.

"Bang bang bang."

The sound of the gong spread throughout the small factory, and even the public house of the engineering team next door could be heard.

Soon.

There are more and more people, and they all go in one direction, that is, to have a full dinner when they get off work.

Northeast Tai Village in Daxing was ruled by iron smelters, but the official kilns had been out of business for a long time. The craftsmen served for two months every year, and the craftsmen made their own living for the rest of the month.

Official kiln wages are not much, but artisans who take care of food and drink are also a place to go. Not every craftsman can be as capable as Wansan.

The country is prosperous and the people are safe. Many craftsmen are doing well with their craftsmanship. More craftsmen are recruited by their employers as long-term workers, but there are also many craftsmen who are still living a miserable life.

These craftsmen traveled around to do part-time jobs, or went to the countryside to repair and repair for the common people to earn some food.

Now that there are factories run by nobles, they not only recruit capable craftsmen, but also absorb many craftsmen who are not skilled enough.

Even a first-class craftsman is paid one tael of silver per month.

Moreover, the eight-level system is what these craftsmen value, not only can they make money, but they can also improve their skills.

China Heavy Industry has only been a few months old, but it has unknowingly changed the lives of people in Dongbeitai Village.

"Crash."

The popularity of briquettes has made hot water a simple living commodity.

Several workers from other places, at the door of the workers' homes, quickly washed their hands and feet with hot water, and the local workers were full of enthusiasm.

It's not that he is hospitable, but that he has money to take.

Because the dormitory of the factory is still under construction, local people can go home to live after work, but outsiders need resettlement.

So the deacons came up with a way to encourage local workers to provide housing for non-local workers, and subsidized three silver coins a month.

This person was the closest to the factory, and his mother-in-law waited for the out-of-town workers to go to sleep before she went out to get some air. Seeing the houses in the distance that had already begun to erect beams, the woman couldn't help sighing.

"The head of the house, I guess the money can be used for two months. It's a pity. It would be great if the house in your factory can be repaired more slowly."

The local worker scolded amusedly. "You look into the money hole, and you don't even look at what's going on next door."

At the top of the moon, the Northeast Tai Village is very quiet.

under the same sky.

There is peace here, but chaos elsewhere.
