Chapter 274: Rainbow
Qin Xiqing stood up and saluted everyone, and everyone applauded, their eyes lit up, and they cheered. In fact, many people didn't know Qin Xiqing's identity, they only knew that this was Lord Fang's favor, but they didn't expect it to be such a rich person. As soon as he made a move, it was 30,000 taels of silver, which was really staggering. For these people, it doesn't matter who Qin Xiqing is, it doesn't matter who Fang Zi'an is, the important thing is that the 30,000 taels of silver are put in, which shows that everyone is following the right person and doing the right thing. Otherwise, how could others be willing to invest 30,000 taels of silver at once?
The matter of shareholding was actually proposed by Qin Xiqing. When Fang Zi'an discussed the establishment of a manufacturing bureau with everyone, he talked about the funding of construction and development. Fang Zi'an's money earned last year was basically spent, so he was a little hesitant when talking about this matter, and Qin Xiqing immediately took the initiative to buy shares, which can be regarded as solving Fang Zi'an's urgent need.
In fact, Qin Xiqing didn't come back for how much money he could make. She had actually learned that Fang Zi'an was already very strapped for money. At the beginning of the year, the shipload of Fanguo goods did make Fang Zian earn a lot of silver. But Fang Zi'an spends money without restraint, it is simply not spending money, but throwing money. Qin Xiqing secretly inquired from Qian Kang, Chunni and Lao Huang that Fang Zi'an had spent almost all the money he earned in the past half a year. The steam engine, as well as the previous expenses in the yamen, as well as the wages of dozens of people such as the old boss of Wantou Village and Wan Dahai, the expenses of the family, and Fang Zi'an himself did not seem to know how to be thrifty. Therefore, the silver continued to flow out, but there was not much income, and now there were less than 1,000 taels of silver left in the Fang family's account.
Qin Xiqing knew Fang Zi'an's temper, if he was to receive help, Fang Zi'an would not want it. bought a house for him, and Fang Zi'an seemed to have always been haunted. Qin Xiqing refused to hurt Fang Zi'an's self-esteem again. But this time, Qin Xiqing thought that it was just taking this opportunity to help him with money, so he proposed to buy shares. It's really a gesture in disguise, not a lot of money to earn.
"Thank you. It is a great honor for Fang Gongzi and the two old men and Brother Su to allow me to join the shares. Thirty thousand taels of silver is not a lot, but I think it would be an honor to be a part of it. If I can earn some money, I will be even happier. Although I have made money, I don't know anything about the things here, and I won't talk too much, so you can rest assured. Thank you again. Qin Xiqing said crisply.
Everyone nodded in approval, and Fang Zi was also very comfortable. He didn't know that this was Qin Xiqing's excuse to help him at a critical time, and not to embarrass himself. The longer he gets along with Qin Xiqing, the more Fang Zi'an loves Qin Xiqing to the bone. How can such a woman who knows the general situation and treats herself wholeheartedly not be liked. The 30,000 taels of silver were shared, which was really a timely rain.
"Thank you Miss Qin for trusting us, Zi'an can't guarantee it, but I dare to guarantee one thing, in the next few years, Miss Qin's silver will be doubled and earned, so that Miss Qin's trust in us will not be disappointed." Fang Zi'an said with a smile.
"It's better to do so, or I'll not say yes." Qin Xiqing said with a smile and sat down slowly.
Fang Zi'an laughed and turned his head to everyone and continued, "From today, our Lin'an Manufacturing Bureau has been established, and the main managers are Master Su, Liu Laotou, Wan Da Longtou and Qian Gongzi. In the future, Brother Su will be fully responsible for the manufacturing and improvement of the steam engine, and it will be named the Smelting Bureau, and Brother Su will be the smelter
The main thing about making the game. ”
Su Heng got up and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you Gongzi Fang." In the next will not, smelting and manufacturing is still successful. I will lead more than a dozen of my brothers to join the manufacturing bureau, devote themselves to research and manufacturing, and live up to the mission. ”
The crowd applauded and cheered loudly.
Fang Zi'an nodded with a smile and continued, "Wan Da Longtou is in charge of the affairs of sea ship trade, and is in charge of the 'Maritime Trade Bureau'. Liu Lao was in charge of repairing shipyards and building docks, shore houses, warehouses and other affairs. It is the head of the 'Construction Bureau'. Qian Kang, Qian Gongzi is responsible for the entry and exit of financial accounts and the purchase of goods and other logistics affairs, and is the head of the 'Logistics Bureau'. Everyone performs their duties and cooperates with each other, and I believe that our Lin'an Manufacturing Bureau will soon be prosperous. Maybe one day, we can open the manufacturing bureau all over the place, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Jiangning, Yangzhou and other places, it is possible. At that time, all of you here are veterans, and you will all have to take charge of your own responsibilities, so you should do more, learn more, think more, work together, and share honor and disgrace. ”
Everyone applauded loudly, and their hearts were full of anticipation inspired by Fang Zi'an's planning blueprint. These people were originally ordinary shipwrights and common craftsmen, and some of them even had nothing to do before, and their livelihood was difficult. Since Fang Zi'an began to whimsically get a boat to go to sea last year, they have been able to receive a fairly generous salary regardless of whether they have anything to do or not, and they are already grateful to Fang Zi'an. They know that Fang Zi'an seems to be unreliable, but in fact, he is still assertive in his actions, and he is very generous to the people below, and they all hope that such a proprietor will not fall, not only because of emotional factors, but also for their own livelihood. So but there is work, and these people are meticulous and do it well. Now they are happy to see such a situation, Fang Gongzi's planning blueprint is a great thing for every specific person here.
In the midst of the lively uproar, someone shouted, "What about you, Young Master Fang?" What are you doing? You seem to have forgotten about yourself. ”
"Me? I don't know anything, so I don't make a mess, and it's better not to come to me to do things. Fang Zi'an said with a smile.
"That's not possible, Fang Gongzi is modest, Fang Gongzi doesn't know anything, Fang Gongzi can do anything." The crowd shouted.
Old Liu shook his head and laughed loudly: "Young Master Fang? He's the owner. We all work for the owner, no food to find the owner, no clothes to find the owner, no money to find the owner, in short, he wants to be the shopkeeper can't be, everyone said yes? ”
"Yes, hahaha. You can't let Fang Gongzi be lazy. ”
The crowd shouted and laughed loudly.
Fang Zi'an laughed and said, "You can't spare me like this? As for me, I naturally won't be completely in charge. But as you know, I am an official of the imperial court, and I always have to give priority to official duties. In fact, there is no conflict between official and private affairs, I have to think of a promotion, the bigger my official is, the harder the backer of our Lin'an Manufacturing Bureau, this is a mutually reinforcing relationship. You should all know this. So, even if I'm not there, I'm actually contributing to the manufacturing bureau. ”
Everyone laughed and said, "That's right, we're just joking." ”
Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "That's it, these things will be discussed later, and the follow-up matters will be carried out soon." But that's all later. At this moment, we only do one thing, and that is to celebrate the success of today's steam engine on board and the test round
Full, this is one step closer to our dreams. Tomorrow's things will be done tomorrow, tonight we will only drink! Come, everyone will not return home if they are not drunk. ”
Fang Zi'an raised his wine glass, and everyone also raised their wine glasses under the cover of the bonfire in the night, and laughed loudly, "It's dry, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”
The next morning, the crowd was awakened by the thunder in the sky. The sky is cloudy and a heavy rain is coming.
But all this could not stop the further implementation of the trial plan. Today's plan is to sail into the Qiantang River for further sea trials. If all goes well, the boat will sail into the sea.
After carefully inspecting the machine and the boat, they lifted all the remaining charcoal into the cabin. Twenty men were carefully selected to accompany the ship for sea trial, and in addition, another repaired large ship will also accompany the sea trial in case of emergency.
Everything was ready, and everyone boarded the ship. Fang Zi'an originally wanted Qin Xiqing and Shen Ling'er to stay in Wantou Village and wait, but Qin Xiqing insisted on accompanying her, and she wanted to follow Fang Zi'an to experience this important moment in person.
At the end of the hour, a shower came, and the dense rain seemed to be the overturning of the heavenly river, and the rain was extremely violent. There was a white expanse between heaven and earth, and there was no one dozens of steps away.
But Fang Zi'an still gave the order to set sail, and a column of smoke came out of the huge chimney, and Wan Da Longtou wore a cloak and a hat nailed behind the rudder like nails, and held the helm handle tightly with both hands. In the cabin below, the steam engine was activated, and the roar of hopes and dreams resounded in the bay. The propeller began to rotate, and under the control of Wan Dahai, it first slowly drove out of the river at a slow speed, and then rushed into the wide and choppy surface of the Qiantang River without hesitation.
The command kept coming, and the speed of the propeller turned faster, first in second gear for a moment, then in third gear, and finally in fourth gear for maximum speed. In order to reduce consumption, the speed of the third gear was finally maintained, and the big boat rushed to the sea mouth like a fish swimming on the river in the rainy sky.
Half an hour later, the torrential rain stopped and the clouds cleared. At this moment, the Dream had already thrown the big ship driven by the rear boatmen far away and arrived at the open sea near the left side of Wanjia Village. On the open sea in front of you, the sky after the rainstorm is as blue as washing, a round of red sun hangs above the sea, and the seagulls fly on the sea surface after the rainstorm, the waves are slightly surging, and the scene is beautiful. Everyone was amazed by the joy and admiration of the sight.

Fang Zi'an was already standing on the deck, accompanying Qin Xiqing to look at the scene of the open sea in the distance, and his heart was excited.
"Zi'an, look, rainbow. It's magnificent. Qin Xiqing suddenly pointed to the sky above the sea in the distance and shouted loudly.
When everyone heard the sound, they saw that a huge rainbow stretched across the sky, colorful and magnificent. The crowd cheered loudly.
"The rainbow is a symbol of good fortune, and it is a sign that you will have good sailing. An omen from God. Qin Xiqing said with a smile.
Fang Zi'an stretched out his hand and grabbed her hand and smiled, "Borrow your auspicious words, maybe it's really an omen." ”
Shen Ling'er, who was standing on the other side, also had joy on her face, but she didn't say a word. Fang Zi'an stretched out his other hand to grab her soft palm, and the three of them stood side by side, looking at the rainbow spectacle in the sky in the distance.
The big ship spewed smoke, escorted by the flying seagulls, and sailed steadily in the direction of the rainbow.
