The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 85 Zhu Gaochi's hidden danger
Zhu Di always felt that he had overlooked something.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

The boss ran away, as if he was convinced by him?That's not right, he kept talking non-stop, what the hell did he say?

It sounds like a set of principles, but when you think about it carefully, it is not a fart.

But I think again, there is always something interesting in it.

"Princess, do you think the boss wants to marry a wife?"

"Are your father and son reasonable?"

Xu said dissatisfied.

"Boss, he's becoming less and less honest. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." Zhu Di rubbed his chin.

"I used to complain about my boss's honest personality, and I was so frightened that my boss trembled when he saw you. God is sorry, your boss has changed, but you still complain. Being your son is the most difficult thing in the world."

Zhu Di nodded, "That's natural."

"Boss will be in trouble soon."

Xu's hand stopped, and she put Ruyi on the kang table. Zhu Di turned his head and showed a dissatisfied look.

Xu stared.

The two were childhood sweethearts, fell in love with each other before they got engaged, and were well matched, had the same educational background, and their cognition was at the same level.

Zhu Di knew his wife was really angry, so he smiled cautiously.

"Boss has recruited so many strong men, and many of them have to serve corvee. In the past, the chief secretary turned a blind eye to it. Now that the 1 taels of silver are passed on, the chief secretary can no longer turn a blind eye."

"Can the boss ask for the 1 taels of silver back?"

"A woman's view."

Zhu Di sneered, and immediately explained, "Even if there is no such 1 taels of silver, at the speed of the boss's employment, we will have to face this problem sooner or later."

Concubine Yan had just been ridiculed by Zhu Di, so she naturally fought back.

"You father and son, the father is not like a father, and the son is not like a son. How can there be a father waiting to see his son's jokes? Why don't you mention him?"

Zhu Di shook his head.

He likes to communicate with his wife like this, which makes him feel warm instead.

However, the wife has also restrained herself a lot. When she was a young lady, she dared to play tricks on herself, and she had to coax her.

After many years of husband and wife, both of them have begun to face each other in the most comfortable posture.

"Let's say a word, and the boss can refute ten sentences. If he is capable, let's see if he has the ability to resolve this matter."

Just as Mrs. Xu was about to speak, Zhu Di waved his hand, with a serious face, and changed his face when he said that he would change his face. "This matter is just like what Ge Changshi said. It's really hard for us to come forward."

"Ever since Yao Guangxiao told the boss that this year's timing is just right, the boss has no doubts about it. He used to make small troubles, but now he does whatever he wants without caring about the situation."

"Is Yao Guangxiao wrong? It has too much to do with us, and we can't make up our minds. If it weren't for the boss's hard work and hard work in the factory, we would have stopped him long ago."

"If you think we don't care about the boss, you've wronged us."

Although Mrs. Xu has many ideas, she is very measured and knows when and what not to say.

After hearing what her husband said, she could only let go of the boss's affairs.

"Chief Secretary."

Xu sighed lightly.

Zhu Di also had a straight face.

The previous vassal palaces not only had high salaries, but also had greater power.

At that time, the long history was not called a long history, but called Wang Xiang, a senior official of the second rank, and three sets of yamen in the king's mansion, not only managing military power, but also local affairs were controlled by the feudal prince's mansion.

The head of the third local division, Brain, has to visit the feudal king every month and report to the feudal king about the affairs of the yamen.

King Qin had a good reputation when he was in Yingtian Mansion, but why did the quarrel with the officials become more and more violent after he arrived in Shanxi?

Because things are different.

The prime minister of the second rank has become the long history of the fifth rank. Most of the royal government offices were banned and replaced by the rise of the local third division.

The power of the vassal king was divided by the three divisions, and they were devoured every year.

Compared with King Yan's double means of winning and confrontation, King Qin was more fierce, and even whipped officials who disobeyed him in public.

In the end, everyone knew that he was completely defeated.

Although King Yan's methods are more sophisticated than King Qin's, but in Beiping Mansion, the momentum of King Yan's Mansion is not as good as before.

The officials did not dare to offend the King of Yan unless necessary, but like the senior officials, they dared to fight against the King of Yan when it was time to insist. If the officials really made things difficult for the boss, Mrs. Xu would not be surprised at all.

father-in-law.

Over the years, the power of the vassal king has been reduced.

"I'm afraid that the boss is unprepared. If he stumbles, he attaches great importance to the industry and will not retreat easily. What should we do?"

Knowing a son is like a mother, Xu has seen the recent changes of the boss, and knows how much the boss cares.

Zhu Di stroked his chin and said cruelly.

"Then we have to teach him a lesson. Don't think that he can do whatever he wants. If we ignore his second uncle's lessons learned, we have to reconsider the boss's ability."

It is said that nobles are like wolves.

Zhu Di didn't think so, the civil servants who took the imperial examination every three years were called Rulang.

The power of the civil servants is getting bigger and bigger, and the conflict with the nobles is getting deeper and deeper. If the boss said just now, there is no right or wrong between the two, but a struggle for rights.

How to preserve his own rights in a situation where civil servants are getting more and more rights, Zhu Di struggled.

The second brother couldn't hold his breath, and the end was clear.

If you can't deal with the civil servants, then the boss's ability is just a mediocrity on paper, and putting too much hope on him will only backfire.

"He has dealt with the chief secretary's matter this time, so we will support him vigorously as Yao Guangxiao said, as compensation for him."

"If he can't deal with it, we can come forward to clean up the mess, otherwise we will get out of the way at the beginning, and the matter will lose room for maneuver."

"Okay, you're right." Xu gave in.

……

Early the next morning.

Zhu Gaochi went to "work" as usual.

Wan San saw the eldest son from afar, and quietly hid in a corner.

Now he is not only hiding from the eldest son, but also hiding from Xiao Jiu.

He would never accept the 1 taels of silver. He was still hesitating whether to accept the 5000 taels that were originally agreed upon.

Xiao Jiu made a fuss, he was too ignorant, the child had a stubborn tendon in the back of his neck, and when he became stubborn, he couldn't change it after many beatings, and finally brought himself a big trouble.

Wang Ben was wearing work clothes. Since he came to the coke refinery, the smile on his face has gradually decreased, so that his face is serious every day.

The initial number of workers in the coke refinery will be controlled at 500, and will be expanded to 1000 in the next stage.

According to the little prince, the coke refinery should produce the cheapest coke, so that all the iron smelting workshops in Beiping, and even countless blacksmith shops in the local area, will all use coke instead.

If this goal is achieved, let alone 1000 people, it will not be enough to double or triple it.Moreover, it will expand to surrounding counties in the future, and Wang Ben is already speechless.

"Why are you here?"

"You too?"

Wan San and Wang Ben looked at each other.

"Are you hiding from the eldest son?"

"You too?"

Wansan was surprised.

Hiding from the little prince by himself, everyone knows his difficulties, why did Wang Ben hide?
"What's your problem?"

Wang Ben was smashed, and it was Wansan, he confessed honestly.

Seeing that Wang Ben was overly anxious, Wan San took the initiative to comfort him.

Does this new craftsman have real skills?Wansan thinks there is.

"Fujian and Guangdong have a large scale of iron smelting. In the most concentrated town, there are tens of thousands of blacksmiths. Not to mention the population of Beiping, there are 600 million people in Shandong next door."

Wansan looked around and said quietly: "This dynasty loves Tibetans, brother, you should know that there must be more than 600 million people in Shandong."

Wang Ben showed an ugly smile and said, "The south can do this, but the north can't."

Hearing Wang Ben's words, Wan San's face darkened.

This topic is too heavy and involves too many things. He is unwilling to continue, so he asked: "Since you took the initiative to stay, you naturally have ideas. Why are you here?"

"Ugh."

Wang Ben sighed.

It is precisely because he knows too much that he is in a dilemma, not knowing where to start in order to meet the needs of the nobleman.

If it were a normal workshop, he would have already started.

But if it is based on the scale of 1000 people, it will have to satisfy the entire Beiping in the future, and even supply the output to surrounding counties.

The coke refinery encountered more problems than he expected, and many craftsmen were stumped. It really wasn't that some people were not skilled enough.

Of course, in Wang Ben's eyes, these people are still inferior to him, but even he feels embarrassed. Isn't it natural that these people are helpless.

"Don't think too much, I think you are too afraid of failure and the responsibility of the noble, so you are in a dilemma and unable to start."

"Aren't you afraid?
Wang Ben asked subconsciously, then came to his senses and smiled, "You are really not afraid. If you ask me, buddy, you don't feel at ease hiding your 1 taels of silver at home."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Tell me something that has no shadow."

Seeing that Wan San was angry, Wang Ben immediately shut up.

Wan San also felt embarrassed, and in a hurry, he spoke a little more emphatically, but when he saw Wang Ben, he had a flash of inspiration.

Hiding the little nobleman by himself is still not an option.

"The steam engine has failed a few times, and I'm really not afraid." She smiled awkwardly for a while, and added: "You are still not familiar with the eldest son. If you get in touch with him more, you will naturally stop worrying."

Wang Ben's ugly face finally looked better.

Yes.

The gentleman is indeed reasonable.

Doesn't the matter of 1 taels of silver explain the nobleman's character? ,

Is it possible that I am too cautious?Scared myself so much.What should be borne, should be borne.

Everyone said that the nobleman is good, and Wang Ben's face regained a little confidence.

"Go, I'll take you to find the eldest son."

"what?"

"I know you must have some embarrassing things, but you don't dare to make the decision. Are you still afraid if I go with you?" Wan San urged: "The little prince came to the factory, and you saw it too."

"Not too good." Wang Ben was moved.

"Let's go." Wan San stepped forward to pull him, but Wang Ben half pushed and half agreed.

The two came to the document room.

"Please sit down."

The clerk Ma Wangxuan was very polite, knowing the importance of the matter, he immediately went to explain it to the two of them.

"Please come in." Zhu Gaochi put down his pen and stopped sorting out his thoughts about the coal industry in Beiping.
