In the Xishan Coal Mine, as soon as Deng Jian found the convoy of Emperor Hongzhi and his party, he excitedly shouted to Li Zhaotong, who was sitting not far away shaking his legs:

"Young Master, it's here! Here it comes! ”

Emperor Hongzhi inspected the Xishan Coal Mine, although it was a micro-service patrol, but the vast majority of the employees of the Xishan Coal Mine were homeless.

Who knows if there are any thieves from the White Lotus Sect hiding in here?!

Therefore, it is not necessary that Xiao Jing does not pay attention to safety issues.

As early as when Emperor Hongzhi decided to inspect the Xishan Coal Mine, Xiao Jing then sent someone to inform Li Zhaotong, and notified the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Mu Bin, and asked Mu Bin to lead the Jinyi Guard, follow Li Zhaotong, and come to the Xishan Coal Mine first to do a good job of security.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong rushed to the Xishan Coal Mine early in the morning.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't come.

This little expert in death, although his ability to die is first-class, he is also afraid of being beaten with a dragon stick, and he is afraid of seeing Emperor Hongzhi at this time.

Besides, he didn't want to be by Emperor Hongzhi's side, so he didn't have freedom, he had already let go of himself, borrowed some silver from Li Zhaotong, and went to hang out in the capital.

"What is it called a dog-like thing, shouting and screaming? Doesn't Master Ben have long eyes? Hurry up and retreat behind Young Master Ben and let Young Master Ben come! ”

Li Zhaotong got up, and at the same time kicked Deng Jian's ass ferociously, and then put on a respectful and expectant look, stretched his neck vigorously, and smirked like a licking dog.

……

"Your Majesty, please come here."

The visit process of the emperor and the ministers was discussed by Li Zhaotong and Mu Bin, after all, it was the center of the Ming Dynasty, and if something went wrong, it would be over.

Therefore, the Jinyi Guard was in full array, standing on the road of visiting and marching in five steps and one post in five steps, and ten steps and a sentry, not giving the thieves the slightest chance.

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car, he saw this scene, and he was a little unhappy, after all, he was on patrol in micro-service, but what he looked like now, where was the micro-service on patrol?

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

But he still didn't say anything, after all, safety comes first.

"Virtuous nephew, these homeless people work so hard, it won't be you who find someone to arrange a performance for me to see!"

After walking for a while, Emperor Hongzhi finally couldn't help but speak, because what he saw was that everyone was working hard step by step, and no one was lazy.

In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, this is obviously abnormal.

"Your Majesty, the conscience of heaven and earth, these people are really homeless people who are really working hard!"

Li Zhaotong swore an oath.

"Oh?"

Emperor Hongji's tone and expression were unbelieving.

Not only Emperor Hongzhi did not believe it, but also Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Yang Shousui, Bai Ang, and Xiao Jing who accompanied him.

"Your Majesty, Father, Your Excellency, in fact, not only are they really working hard, but, let me tell you the truth, they ...... Actually, I still don't like you to come to inspect it. ”

Li Zhaotong said boldly.

"How?"

Liu Jian was in a hurry, so he rushed to ask in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

"Back to Liu Gong's words, because Xishan Coal Industry adopts a piecework system, whoever does more will get more money, in addition, Xishan Coal Industry has good treatment, and the displaced people know how to be grateful, so they will work harder for Xishan Coal Industry."

"Piece rate?"

Yang Shousui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the secretary of Dali Temple, suddenly became curious.

"Well, the piecework system, this system is based on the number of qualified products produced and the pre-determined unit price of the piece, so as long as you want to make more money, you will not think about being lazy, but will work hard.

At the same time, just in case, Xishan Coal Industry has set a minimum target for everyone, if anyone can not complete the minimum index in the month under non-special circumstances, then get out, Xishan Coal Industry does not raise stealing and cheating, lazy people. ”

"What are the special cases?"

Yang Shousui felt that this piecework system was very advanced, especially suitable for craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, which was conducive to improving their work efficiency, so he was very interested in the piecework system and did not want to miss any knowledge points.

"It's sick leave, family leave for death, holiday and so on." Li Zhaotong answered all questions.

"This is a benevolent policy, which not only increases the subjective initiative of craftsmen, but also does not lack humanity." Yang Shousui said approvingly.

"Yes, benevolence is benevolence, but you have to have money! On average, a craftsman can earn more than one or two pieces of silver a month! ”

Li Dongyang answered not without distress, with self-deprecation and sarcasm in his tone.

"That's right!"

Emperor Hongzhi also calculated the wages of the craftsmen in the Xishan coal industry, and to be honest, he was also distressed.

"Virtuous nephew, you tell me the truth, you provide white rice and white noodles to the craftsmen like this, and you have meat every once in a while, and you have such a high salary, how much income can Xishan Coal Industry make in a year?"

The popularity of honeycomb coal made Emperor Hongzhi think that Xishan Coal Industry could make money, but there was a big difference between making money and making a lot of money.

Li Zhaotong boasted in front of him that he could bring him more than one million taels of silver a year.

He felt that Li Zhaotong couldn't do it.

"The little nephew was still a little apprehensive before, but seeing the hot sales of honeycomb coal and honeycomb coal stoves today, the little nephew can say with certainty that Xishan Coal Industry is very easy to earn millions of taels of silver a year, Your Majesty, just sit back and wait for the dividends!"

"!"

Before Emperor Hongzhi could speak, Li Dongyang became angry:

"Rebel, with such a big expense in Xishan Coal Industry, you still dare to boast that you can earn millions of taels of silver a year, do you think this silver will fall from the sky?

Do you still want to deceive the king?

Your Majesty, the child is unreasonable, and please don't blame it. ”

"Not guilty, I am forgiven."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand indifferently.

Not to mention that Xishan Coal Industry has helped him resettle more than 3,000 displaced people, and there will be more in the future, let's talk about his character.

This emperor, but even the family of his mother-killing enemy, Wan Guifei, can spare the benevolent monarch, he is not fond of killing.

However, he is easy to speak, but Li Zhaotong does not intend to appreciate it, in order to seek the future and give himself more life, he must stick to his own opinions and have confidence!

He defended aggrievedly:

"But Xishan Coal Industry can really make millions of taels of silver a year!

I eat white rice and white noodles for the craftsmen so that they can work better! As the saying goes, how can you have the strength to work if you don't have enough to eat! The more you eat, the more you can do!

I adopt the piecework system, but also to let them know that they work hard, because the more I work, the more I can earn!

I don't think about profits, I have calculated the expenses of Xishan Coal Industry in detail, and every batch of goods shipped by Xishan Coal Industry, the managers can calculate the approximate profits according to my guidance, and then make arrangements for the production of the next batch of goods.

Also, Xishan Coal Industry adopts an assembly-line production mode, everyone specializes in the same thing, as the so-called practice makes perfect, they specialize in one thing, then their efficiency will be higher and higher, and the products produced will be more and more, better and better!

The popularity of honeycomb coal, Your Majesty, father, and all the adults have seen it, honeycomb coal is not marketable at all, how can it not make millions of taels of silver in such a situation?

I've done the math, and unless there is a major accident, I can definitely make millions of taels of silver. ”

"Virtuous nephew!"

Although Yang Shousui still didn't believe that Xishan Coal Industry could make millions of taels of silver a year, he was very interested in what Li Zhaotong's words contained, especially the assembly-line production method, he was extremely interested.

Therefore, Yang Shou immediately asked what the assembly-line production method was all about.

Li Zhaotong did not hide it, he explained:

"It's easy! Before producing a product, think about the steps that need to be taken to make it, and then break these steps up and assign them to different people.

For example, this honeycomb coal has steps such as coal digging, dredging, coal washing, mixing, molding, drying, etc., and we in Xishan Coal Industry are to separate these steps, and then arrange some people for each step to let them do this.

Of course, the assembly line! It must not be cut off, otherwise it will not be called an assembly line.

In order to improve efficiency, the previous step should be followed by the next step, so the main sites of the two steps should be adjacent to each other, so that the time of handling can be saved, and manpower can also be saved. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Yang Shousui's eyes lit up, the piecework system looks like it costs a lot of money, but this assembly-line production method can save money!

Therefore, he immediately bowed to Emperor Hongzhi and begged:

"Your Majesty, please also agree to introduce the assembly-line production method into the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, so that the production efficiency of the workshop of the Ministry of Industry will definitely be improved!"

"Haha! Yang Aiqing, it's worth the trip! Are you still opposed to me coming to inspect the Xishan Coal Mine? ”

This Yang Shousui is a clear stream.

Qingliu, you know everything!

This guy, in the "Prison of the Two Capitals" large-scale series in the second year of Hongzhi, played the "starring role", at that time he was Ying Tianfu Yin, responsible for investigating the impeachment of the eunuch Jiang Cong by the imperial history Jiang Juan, and then he looked down on the eunuch Jiang Cong, and favored the imperial history Jiang Juan, and was impeached by Liu Ji, the "old man of the paper paste pavilion" who seized the opportunity, and was demoted to Guangxi to participate in politics.

However, this guy has good ability, and he has made the local society a lot more stable in Guangxi, and he has also won the hearts of the people, so in just a few years, he climbed to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and also served as the secretary of Dali Temple.

But the clear stream is a clear stream after all, the dog can't change the eating, the typical literati mentality, the emperor is not allowed this, that is not allowed, I like to sing the opposite.

Therefore, when Emperor Hongzhi said that he was going to inspect the Xishan Coal Mine, he knew that there were many displaced people in the Xishan Coal Mine, which was strongly opposed.

Emperor Hongzhi is also a little tempered, remembering this, now that Yang Shousui has gained a lot, of course he has to tease and sarcastically say a few words.

"Your Majesty! However, I would like to ask Your Majesty to agree to introduce an assembly-line production method. ”

"Let's talk about it later! The reform of the production mode of the Ministry of Industry is too much to be decided at will. ”

Emperor Hongzhi is sober, he knows that the assembly line production method is very good, but any system, after all, must be used well is really good, rashly reform the Ministry of Industry workshop, it is easy to mess up.

"Virtuous nephew, since the craftsmen dislike me and affect their work, then I don't go to see the workshop of the honeycomb coal stove, you manage it well, don't be under pressure, Xishan Coal Industry can resettle so many displaced people, it is already a great achievement.

Therefore, even if Xishan Coal Industry does not make money, I don't blame you, work hard, come on! ”

After all, Emperor Hongzhi only believed that Xishan Coal Industry could make more money than he expected, but he did not believe that Xishan Coal Industry could bring him more than one million taels of silver.

However, he likes Li Zhaotong more and more.

Because he feels that every time he meets Li Zhaotong, he can gain something, and today no, Yang Shousui has a lot of gains, so even if the existing workshops of the Ministry of Industry cannot reform the production mode in the future, the new workshop will definitely be usable.

Li Zhaotong, great talent!
