The tour guide in the kiln area is very experienced for travelers who faint suddenly. Because the Ming people, who lived in the rhythm of the medieval countryside, were prone to problems as soon as they came into contact with various industrial shocks at first glance. In fact, after the immigrants who recruited workers entered the steel mill workshop for the first time, many of them were so frightened that they peed their pants, went limp, and passed out.

So when he saw that Master Bu was unconscious, the tour guide hurriedly beckoned everyone to carry the master out of the workshop and put him in the shade outside the door. In the next step, the tour guide first stretched out two fingers to probe the old man's neck, and after finding that the pulse was normal, he raised the old man's chin slightly to keep the airway open.

Then it didn't take long for the old man to wake up by himself with a long sigh of "uh". Opening his eyes and looking at the circle of faces around his head, Master Bu shook his head, and then slowly sat up with his support.

"It's the old man's illness." After saying this sentence in a hoarse voice, Master Bu stretched out his arms and said to Chang Sui, "Help me go back." ”

A good end of an industrial journey ended in a hurry.

The carriage immediately sent the old man back to the hotel. On the way back, the old man didn't say a word, and when he arrived at the hotel, he instructed his subordinates: go to the counter to book a ticket and go back to Fujian. Then early the next morning, Fang Tangjing bid farewell to Master Bu and his party at Chihkan Wharf.

After watching the boat go away, Fang Tangjing, who was standing by the Taijiang River and gently shaking the folding fan, finally shook his head helplessly. In fact, Master Bu's every move, including a series of psychological changes after he arrived here, and why there was such a change, Fang Tangjing was very clear.

As a staff member and talent of the gentlemen's family, Fang Tangjing has seen too many "hardcore gentry" like Master Bu.

In the late Ming Dynasty, although morality was declining and the world was no longer in the world, a large number of scholars began to talk about money and property, but there were still many gentlemen who adhered to the way of Confucius and Mencius and acted in a square and old-fashioned style, and Master Bu was a typical one.

Therefore, Master Bu has been unaccustomed to all kinds of things in this place all the way, and Fang Tangjing can understand it. Even the reason why Master Bu fell yesterday, Fang Tangjing could guess that it was nothing more than seeing that the Cao family had money, food, armament and strong men, and was frightened.

But understanding is understanding, and that's true of everything else. Putting aside the little contempt in his heart, he Tang Jing is not qualified to control Master Bu to go crazy with a show. Now that the master is leaving, he can't stop him, so he has to send it off. It's best to go, he still has something to do, time is very urgent!

As the saying goes, rice raises white people, and this situation is very obvious in the industrial tour of the kiln area.

Whether it is a farmer from Muna, a shrewd businessman, or a stubborn gentleman like Master Bu, in short, the traveler found that as long as these Ming people visited the kiln area, they would definitely have all kinds of stress reactions.

These after-the-fact reactions, like Master Bu, have become more stubborn and more "anti-Cao", but more Ming people have been shocked by the power of industrialization, so they have become more inclined to cross forces, willing to obey, willing to communicate, hoping to get a piece of the pie in this industrial power.

Therefore, the public has always vigorously supported the industrial tourism project in the kiln area, and this kind of real shock, the transformation effect of the Ming people, far exceeds the incendiary effect of words and language.

As for people like Master Bu telling the truth, the rulers of the empire didn't take them to heart at all. It is inevitable that every social change will create trendsetters, and it will also produce the old and the young. Master Bu's energy is far from the point where he is worried about crossing the crowd.

Let's put it this way: if Chongzhen and his ministers are going to visit the kiln area tomorrow, then the crossing will not only warmly welcome the guests, but also send the emperor back to the court after the emperor's visit, and will never play yin.

A few years have passed, and now is not the time for this group of people to land on Dayuan Island with trepidation.

Just like the American imperialism in the 70s, which was the most powerful in the world, the Crossing Empire, which already had all-round economic, political, technological and military superiority in this plane, is now full of self-confidence and is not afraid of the prying eyes and hostility of the natives.

No matter what means the natives use, even if Chongzhen and Jiannu join forces to kill a million troops tomorrow, these will all be strangled and crushed in front of battleships, giant cannons, breech n, fertilizer and electronic night vision devices.

So Master Bu left, gently, without taking a single cloud. The bustling Chihkan Wharf is still crowded, and the roaring kiln area is still spitting out huge amounts of wealth, and no one cares what kind of conspiracy and unwillingness Master Bu took away.

As for Comrade Fang Tangjing, who is not the first talent, relying on intelligence and chic appearance to mix with society, he still has a lot of things to do that the owner has explained. So he won't go back to Fujian this time, and when everything is done, he will board a passenger ship to Hangzhou and sail directly to his hometown.

After sending the old man away, Fang Tangjing turned around and went to the kiln area with the little servant.

Unlike Master Bu, Fang Tangjing is just a mediocre talent, he didn't feel much imperial grace in the first half of his life, and he didn't enjoy any rights Xiucai is like participating in the public service, he looks like a human being, but the core is very soft, and he is actually not a member of the ruling class.

Therefore, Fang Tangjing made no secret of his interest in the big workshop. He has no historical baggage, he loves these subtle machines, he can feel the huge power behind these machines that can change society, and most importantly, he not only does not reject this power, but also wants to benefit from it.

In addition, even if it is only for the needs of work, it is his job to accept new things, and his staff needs to keep abreast of all kinds of new information in society, so that they can provide advice and suggestions when the owner needs it.

So in the next few days, Fang Tangjing soaked in the kiln area.

Not only did he visit all the factories where visitors were allowed to enter, but he also took every opportunity to consult with the tour guide to try to figure out how the machines worked.

Fang Tangjing, who is only thirty years old, still has a very strong comprehension ability. Under the introduction of the tour guide, he now understands at least some general concepts: all machines are divided into two parts, and the part that emits black smoke is the "body", which is the output, just like the rest of the mule and horse is the "use", responsible for the specific operation, just like the carriage.

Not only that, Fang Tangjing also roughly calculated the output of some factories in the kiln area. The results are, of course, staggering: the monthly output of any part is calculated in thousands or tens of thousands, and even an ordinary wheel kiln produces hundreds of thousands of bricks per month, which is more than the output of all the brick kilns near Hangzhou combined.

The more he looked deeper, the more optimistic Fang Tangjing became about Cao's potential, which in turn led him to understand the place more deeply. So it wasn't until a week later that Fang Tangjing ended his investigation of the kiln area.

During the two days of rest in the hotel, Fang Tangjing picked up his pen and ink and recorded in detail the survey results, data, and personal views of the Dayuan society during this time. This is very important information, and I will discuss and analyze it in detail with the owner when I go back.

After the rest was over, Fang Tangjing, who already had a bottom in his heart, began his last job as a senior officer: to make head-on contact with the General's Mansion.

The way to contact is very simple, as mentioned above: Fang Tangjing only needs to walk into the government affairs hall of the Chihkan District Government, and then find the key customer window.

So he did the same.

The process was smooth. Putting aside the official visa that followed Master Bu, Fang Tangjing himself also represents a gentleman's family in Hangzhou.

So when he came to the window to report his door and handed over his master's post, he was soon invited to the meeting and put tea in front of him.

The receptionists, a man and a woman in a cardigan, were very enthusiastic, and they not only took out some investment promotion documents printed by the Chihkan District Government, but also explained the terms on the documents to Fang Tangjing one by one, so that the guests could understand new words such as "light industry".

Generally speaking, there is no threshold for the current investment promotion activities of the crossing country. That is to say, as long as the guests who come have money to invest, then the crossers do not care about the political attributes of the other party: even if the opponent is a reactionary gentleman like Master Bu.

This kind of investment promotion idea was only reversed at the beginning of the year at the conference, and before that, due to the lack of confidence on the plate, the Ministry of Commerce did not dare to open up investment channels to the gentry.

Nowadays it is different: as long as the old men dare to invest, the traversal dares to sell them shops, residences, fields and commodity agency rights. If you keep entangled like this, when the showdown is on, will the master turn his face or not?

If you turn your face, all the previous investments and businesses will be gone, if you don't turn over, it's nothing more than sorry Chongzhen, sir, you decide for yourself

Fang Tangjing didn't have any worries about this, in fact, he knew very well what his master was. Although it is the same year as Master Bu, unlike Master Bu, who has adhered to the way of Confucius all his life, his own master's favorite in his life is Brother Kong Fang, so in the face of interests, how the master will choose, Fang can guess with his heels.

Fang Tangjing then soaked in the government affairs hall for two more days.

During this period, he thoroughly understood the investment promotion policy of the district government in detail, and with the help of the clerk, Fang Tangjing also tried to select several investment channels suitable for his own family.

These investment routes are all about light industry, and they need to be operated at two ends: one side invests in shops and residences in Chikan, and the other is an agent or direct investment workshop in Hangzhou.

At this point, Fang Tangjing's matters for coming to the master this time will be completed. The rest of the action needs him to return to Hangzhou to discuss and study with the master, and then decide what project to invest in.

Fang Xiucai, who had done everything, finally bought a ferry ticket after Master Bubu, and early in the morning, he and the two came to Chihkan Wharf.

Gently shaking the folding fan, Fang Tangjing stood on the dock, and finally reluctantly looked at this land that brought infinite hope in his heart: "I will come in the second half of the year, and then I will buy a set of three bedrooms and one living room!" Fang Tangjing thought silently.

However, as the saying goes: no book is made without coincidence.

Just when Fang Xiucai was about to turn around and board the trestle bridge, he saw a person walking by Shi Shiran from the side of the street.

Fang Xiucai, who was taken aback, threw down the Gucci buckskin suitcase in his hand, ran quickly, separated the passers-by, rushed to the man's side and shouted: "Bah! Wu Na crutch, you committed a crime today, don't try to run again! ”11
