Chapter 148: Beiping Machinery Bureau

The core brake of the flintlock pistol is not too difficult, and in less than a stick of incense, it is basically completed.

Zhu Shun took the micrometer and started from the first craftsman's table, measured the core brakes they made one by one, and rated them according to the standard of grading.

The error is 0.4mm for the primary fitter, 0.2mm for the intermediate fitter, and 0.1mm for the senior fitter.

Zhu Shun measured all the core brakes, and the results were very satisfactory to him, most of this batch of craftsmen reached the standard of intermediate fitters, and even a few people reached the standard of senior fitters, far exceeding Zhu Shun's expectations.

Zhu Shun asked these craftsmen to put down the tools in their hands, regather in front of him, and said the purpose of calling them over: "The official called you over today to give you a chance to make money. ”

"Tomorrow, the Beijing Normal University will issue you a fitter certificate, which is five dollars a month for those who meet the standard of junior fitters, eight dollars of silver per month for intermediate fitters, and one or two silver per month for senior fitters."

"As long as you enter the Machinery Bureau, the Machinery Bureau will cover all the daily rations."

Hearing the last sentence, the craftsmen immediately boiled, the current years and months of work are just to have something to eat, Zhu Shun wrapped their rations, not to mention, and gave so much silver every month.

Such a good thing can not be found anywhere, these craftsmen almost regard Zhu Shun as a living bodhisattva who saves suffering.

"Head, how can I get into the Mechanics Bureau?"

"Yes, yes, how can Ambassador Zhu and us enter the Machinery Bureau."

"Head, I was a craftsman under you back then, and we are our own people."

Zhu Shun looked at the craftsmen who were asking and said the reason why they were treated so well: "Let's talk about the ugly things ahead, if you want to enter the Machinery Bureau, you must first become a member of the Zhu family." ”

Hearing the word Jiading, all the craftsmen stopped talking, and Zhu Shun asked them to sign a deed of sale and become servants of the Zhu family.

That's the most statusless lowly family, except for the common people who really can't live these years, who would be willing to be a lowly servant for others, how to face the ancestors after they die.

Zhu Shun knew that it might be difficult for them to accept this condition for a while, but if they didn't accept it, they had to accept it, the thing created by the Machinery Bureau was a steam engine, which belonged to the high-end manufacturing industry.

Zhu Shun must firmly control the high-end manufacturing industry, if he does not turn the fitters of the Machinery Bureau into servants of the Zhu family, in case he is poached by the Donglin Party and set up his own door, it is very likely to imitate the steam engine.

In order to leave them some time to think about this matter, Zhu Shun left the new factory and went to Jingshi.

I am going to let my two good brothers, Xing'an Bo Gongzi and Xin Ning Bo Gongzi, invite some people to come over to watch the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Machinery Bureau.

Chen Qu is one of the younger craftsmen in this group, and he is also one of the few senior fitters, and he is also the head of Zhu Shun's lineage.

Chen Qu was able to become a senior fitter at a young age, talent is one thing, and the most important thing is that he came out to work when he was a teenager.

His parents died when he was ten years old, and there are five younger siblings to support at home, the eldest brother is the father, and Chen Qu, as the eldest in the family, must shoulder the burden of the family.

Chen Qu is more able to endure hardships, and some uncles and elders of the clan often help them, barely pulling up several younger brothers and sisters.

The second brother is sixteen years old this year, and he is about to reach the age of marrying a wife.

But with the situation of Chen Qu's family, it is not easy to support several younger brothers and sisters, where is there any spare money for the second brother to marry.

The eldest sister is also fourteen years old this year, and when the eldest sister gets married, Chen Qu still wants to buy some thick dowry for the eldest sister, he doesn't want the eldest sister to be looked down upon by her mother's family after she marries.

Chen Qu usually seems honest and doesn't like to talk, but he is a very backbone person, although his family is very poor, but as an eldest brother, he can't let people look down on his younger brothers and sisters.

Chen Qu is not young, and he also has a woman he likes, who is not very beautiful, but she is a gentle woman who grew up with childhood sweethearts, and she has been waiting for him.

If he signed this deed of sale and became a servant of the Zhu family, Chen Qu would not be able to be with that gentle woman in his life.

After all, no one wants to marry their daughter to a servant, or a servant of a petty official family of Jiupin.

Just when all the craftsmen couldn't pay attention, Chen Qu suddenly stood up and walked in front of Zhu Yu, the head of the factory: "Zhu Zhangchang, count me in." ”

With Chen Qu taking the lead, more than a dozen craftsmen came out and decided to sign this deed of sale, and Zhu Yu, the head of the factory, nodded, and asked them to go to the wing built by the Machinery Bureau to choose a room.

Zhu Yu, the head of the factory, took the other craftsmen who did not sign the deed of sale and returned to Wang Gong's Bureau, according to the instructions of the eldest brother, until the thirty fitters were recruited.

Among them, there are 12 junior fitters, 12 intermediate fitters and 6 senior fitters.

A senior fitter with two intermediate fitters and two junior fitters, in groups of five, was divided into six groups.

With Zhu Shun's current status, he is not qualified to invite a large number of imperial relatives and nobles to visit the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but fortunately, he has two good brothers, and these two good brothers came out after spending half a month in prison.

But he was grounded by his father, and he couldn't go anywhere, so he could only stay at home.

The prince of Yongchang, the prince of Baoguo, and even the son of a prince's family in the past, Xing'an Bo Xin Ningbo did not let his son go out.

Zhu Shun, a small ambassador of Jiupin, said that he had something important to find two little uncles, Xing'an Bo Xin Ningbo thought about a cup of tea, and decided to let his son go to see Zhu Shun.

It's not because of anything else, it's mainly that the deeds of the ten Daming steam engines have already spread, and Xing'an Boxin Ningbo specially sent someone over to take a look.

According to the confidant housekeeper, these two uncles thought of the true role of the Daming steam engine, so they thought that their son would find a way to buy a Daming steam engine.

With the help of Xing'an Bo Gongzi Xin Ning Bo Gongzi to build bridges, many noble children soon gathered at the door of the Machinery Bureau, as well as some royal relatives.

The ribbon-cutting steps such as setting off firecrackers, cutting red cloth strips, and pulling cloth strips really made the eyes of these noble children and royal relatives shine, but their minds were not on this.

What they really care about is whether the Beiping Machinery Bureau can sell them a few steam engines and turn the abandoned mine at home into treasure.

Zhu Shun handed the red cloth pulled off to Zhu Yu, the head of the factory standing next to him, and said a sentence they had been looking forward to for a long time: "In addition to participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Beiping Machinery Bureau, there is another important reason. ”

"The Beiping Machinery Bureau decided to sell the Daming steam engine, and if you want to buy the Daming steam engine, you can now go to Xing'an Bo Gongzi Xin Ning Bo Gongzi to ask for a place."
