The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 72 Coke Refinery

It is difficult for ordinary people to persuade Zhu Di, nor can Zhu Di be willing to take risks to support at such a sensitive time.

Zhu Gaochi didn't feel that his wrist could deceive Zhu Di.

The ancients had already reached the pinnacle of exploration in human nature.

But who would let him be his eldest son, his heir, this is his greatest advantage.

A steam engine factory is a technical factory, and it must be craftsmen. The steam engine is the mother of industry, because the steam engine is not just a machine.

In the hands of craftsmen, to become the driving force of all walks of life requires long-term continuous improvement and innovation, so there must be a more lenient environment.

But the new factory is different.

China Heavy Industry coke refinery will be Zhu Gaochi's second factory.

When in doubt, find a craftsman.

The household registration system of the Ming Dynasty allowed craftsmen from all walks of life to be registered by the government. As Zhu Gaochi, it was not difficult for officials to recommend a few powerful craftsmen.

Just like the previous Wansan, he was recommended by the official office of the Metallurgical Institute.

Unlike when he first started his business, now that Zhu Gaochi is well-known, the officials know that the eldest son is getting more and more attention from King Yan, so they dare not belittle him.

And the good reputation of the little nobleman in Beiping Mansion is getting higher and higher in the hearts of the people, and people are not afraid of him.

Even because of the patent law and the spread of the eight-level and third-class craftsman system, many craftsmen are looking forward to becoming the next Wansan.

Zhang Dehui, Xu Ning, Zhou Shifeng, and officials from the ironworks gathered in a conference room for a meeting.

Su Guan led several officials, led by the documents, into the Zhonghua Heavy Factory. On the door of a room, a piece of iron sheet of the conference room was nailed.

"Conference room." Su Guan read it subconsciously, and smiled with his colleagues. "Since the eldest son is so serious, we can't let him down."

"As it should be."

The bridal sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the eldest son always gave convenience to the iron smelter, so Su Guan was naturally willing to help the eldest son.

No matter what new things the eldest son has next, as long as it is not too embarrassing for the iron factory, Su Guan will not refuse.

After everyone entered the meeting room, they looked at him curiously.

A long solid wood table, polished brightly, corresponds to the position of each chair, and the porcelain cups have already been placed.

"Ambassador Su and all of you are honored to make Zhonghua Heavy Factory flourish." Zhu Gaochi smiled.

"The Eldest Young Master calls, I will not dare to say goodbye."

"Please sit down."

"Come here, serve tea."

The seats are simple and clear, Zhu Gaochi and the people from China Heavy Industry sit on the left, and the people from the Iron and Steel Institute sit on the right.

Two men came in, one of them had only half a palm and two fingers left on his left hand, and the other was limping, pouring tea into the teacups on the table.

Su Guan showed probing eyes, Zhu Gaochi nodded, Su Guan immediately gave a thumbs up, everything is self-evident.

Zhu Gaochi cleared his throat and got straight to the point.

"Everyone is invited to come here today because we want to open a new factory. Looking around Beiping, only Daxing has the best location, and looking around Daxing, only Dongbeitai Village is the best place."

"Our two families are actually one family. Many workers have served in the iron smelter before, and the family does not speak of two families. We want the iron smelter to give a large piece of land to China Heavy Industry."

Hearing that the eldest son was going to divide the land again, embarrassment appeared on the faces of everyone.

On the way here, Su Guan thought about it, what does the eldest son need the ironworks for?

China Heavy Industry has everything that Iron Smelter has.

China Heavy Industry paid generously and ensured harvest in droughts and floods. Many outstanding craftsmen took the initiative to go to China Heavy Industry.

Does it have any effect on iron smelting?Of course there is.

However, according to Su Guan's news, the imperial court has already begun to discuss whether to completely ban the official railway, and only pay taxes in kind from the civil railway.

This new news made Su Guan extremely sigh.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the official iron inherited the previous dynasty, and the saint let go of the civil iron.In just over twenty years, the official iron was completely defeated in front of the private iron, and there was no one out of ten.

But he really didn't guard against the people at all, and let the heavy iron be controlled in the hands of the people. Su Guan, who was in his forties, experienced two dynasties, and he couldn't keep up with the development of the Ming Dynasty.

The civilian railway is definitely better than the official railway, the facts are in front of you, but the court's move can be described as hard to say.

Su Guan didn't want to continue thinking about the difference between the past and the present, and had already focused on his own future.

I have to jump out of the ironworks earlier before the imperial court makes a decision, otherwise, when the court dust settles, I am afraid there will be no chance at all, and I will have to stop at the ironworks in my later years.

really.

Su Guan's prediction was correct, Zhu Gaochi's next step is to get land, it seems that the eldest son also got the news from the imperial court, so he made such a move.

But this matter was really Su Guan's prediction was wrong.

Zhu Gaochi is really not as well-informed as Su Guan in the court. Zhu Di knows many things, but he will not tell Zhu Gaochi everything.

But he knew that the Ming Dynasty would soon completely abolish the official iron, prompting the Ming Dynasty's iron smelting industry to reach the peak in history, unparalleled in the world.

Until the Qing Dynasty, under various decrees, this rule was inevitably banned.

As a result, the development of the iron smelting industry fell, not only inferior to the Ming Dynasty, but even the scale of the Song Dynasty could not catch up.

Therefore, in Zhu Gaochi's view, the best geographical location occupied by the iron smelter really belongs to occupying the latrine and not shitting, it is better to let him Zhu Gaochi.

Moreover, the ironworks will become an empty shell in the future, so there is no need to waste too much effort to maintain it.

"It's easy to talk about." Su Guan suddenly let go, and the people in the ironworks were shocked. Shangguan is too shameless.

In order to flatter the nobleman, even the imperial court system is ignored. Aren't you afraid that the imperial censor will be impeached if he finds out.

A nobleman is not afraid of impeachment, but you, Su Guan, can afford the consequences?

"Ambassador Su's help, we will remember it in our hearts." Zhu Gaochi appreciated it.

Although he has no real power, his own father does.

There is also a long history of the palace. If that day comes and the iron smelting factory is completely down, he can open his mouth, which can be regarded as paying back to Su Guan.

In the eyes of outsiders, such a thing, which is really a bit of a fantasy, was easily and simply implemented.

There was no bubble at all, and the factory building of the iron smelter was handed over to Zhonghua Heavy Factory, leaving only the official office.

"Xu Ning, let you renovate the factory, and you will do it quickly and steadily." Zhu Gaochi knew that Xu Ning would have difficulties.

But there are no difficulties, how to show his ability?Why did he hand over the engineering team to Xu Ning?

Xu Ning readily agreed, promising: "I will not let the young master down."

"We never doubt your promise." Zhu Gaochi was not taller than Xu Ning, so he reached out and patted Xu Ning's back.

"Work hard, work hard, and work hard." Three sentences of expectations were given.

The engineering team is hiring.

Three major projects, several small projects, and the construction of four simple railway tracks, half of which are projects of China Heavy Industry, and a lot of money earned is scattered.
