Chapter 5 New Workshop
After hearing this, Zhou Man hurriedly relayed it, panicked, worried that this matter had something to do with him, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Char's eyes widened after hearing this, and he was a little flustered, and hurriedly explained.
This is a big crime, the items sold to the prince are highly poisonous, even if he Char is a foreigner, but it involves the royal family, and his life is difficult to protect.
Li Zhi saw that Char was frightened, and said with a smile, "Although this thing is highly poisonous, it is you who are poisoned, Char!" ”
Char looked confused, he was poisoned?
I don't know if you have gums that bleed easily, loose teeth, and emotional irritability, irritability, etc.?
Char was flustered, how did this highness in front of him know that since he had these symptoms, Char had never told anyone, and thought it was just a matter of adaptation, but he didn't expect to be poisoned? This scared Char terribly.
His Royal Highness the King of Letters! Help me~ I'm willing to give you all my savings, you should like money very much, I don't want to die, I don't want to die.. Char didn't expect that the things he had brought all the way from Europe with all his wealth would become his own talisman.
You can't die yet, you're only slightly poisoned now, but if you don't get treatment, you're not far from death. Slowly, your teeth will fall out, and then your mouth will erode, and then you will go deep into your internal organs and die. Li Zhi continued to be frightened.
After hearing the consequences, Char was already scared and cried, crying and calling Li Zhi to save him.
In the end, under Li Zhi's flickering, Char tearfully signed the deed of sale, and wept bitterly to thank Li Zhi for saving his life.
In fact, Char's situation is far less serious than Li Zhi said, of course, if it really reaches the late stage of mercury poisoning, it is true, but Char is just in contact with the mirror for a long time, resulting in slightly loose teeth, as for the mental and emotional aspects, it is a tiring journey, from Europe to Asia, and it will be uncomfortable to be a normal person.
Therefore, Li Zhi left Char with a fool, and Zhou Man acted as the translator for the two, and then ordered someone to put the mirror in the main hall and the mirror stored in Char at the post station outside the city into the warehouse for other use.
The hard-pressed Char could only watch the mirror where he had poured all his wealth into the treasury, his eyes red and swollen, and he didn't say a word, like a good family who was bullied.
Char's slight poisoning, Li Zhi naturally has a way to solve it, first send Char to live in a courtyard under the name of the palace, and then arrange special personnel to monitor, every day to send Li Zhi specially sent someone to boil a hodgepodge, nothing more than some high-protein food, such as buffalo milk, soy milk, etc., of course, a little Chinese medicine that does not affect the effect is also added, the purpose is to disturb the audio-visual, so that Char does not know what he is drinking.
The point is that Li Zhi also added a small amount of croton to the recipe, so that the toxins in Char's body can have an outlet after protein precipitation, but this can make Char miserable, and he basically spends his days in the thatched house.
In the remaining days, during Li Zhi's investigation, he felt that Zhou Man was quite upright, and he also sent someone to investigate that his family background was also very clean, so he boldly enabled it and arranged for Zhou Man to take over the affairs of Zhu Kai's hands, and Zhu Kai made other arrangements and sent him to do things.
Char recovered peacefully in the courtyard, and completely forgot those days in the thatched house.
Zhou Man is constantly learning, adapting to his identity, and running around coordinating affairs and getting familiar with his work.
After a while, a few days passed, during this period, Li Zhi sent people to the Ordnance Department of the cities of Suxi Province to bring his skilled craftsmen and their families back to Anxi City, and he visited the Ordnance Department of Anxi City, and found that it was dilapidated, all of them were degraded officials who were eating and waiting to die, and the craftsmen gathered to gamble with nothing to do, and the weapons in the treasury were covered with dust and rust, such an Ordnance Division was really disappointing, Li Zhi did not know if the Ordnance Division of other cities was also like this.
But there is still good news, the other six cities still recruited a lot of craftsmen, for these craftsmen Li Zhi does not want to waste talents, these are some well-made weapons. In the future, it will be used to develop new weapons, and it will certainly be of great use.
Li Zhi's time limit to Zhao Jiujiang has arrived, before he has time to go to the workshop, Zhao Jiujiang has rushed to report the good news, the workshop has been rebuilt, Li Zhi is very happy, although Li Zhi has been sending people to follow up the progress of the workshop in the past few days, but he was still excited to hear the completion of the project, and immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage and horses, and rushed to the workshop.
In the swaying of the carriage, I finally arrived at the workshop, and there was a large building in front of me, in sharp contrast to the courtyard with only a few thatched houses before, and now the walls were towering on all sides, with white walls and green tiles, and a little green smoke floating inside, and the faint sound of wrought iron beating.
Looking at the workshop in front of him, Li Zhi jumped out of the carriage impatiently, and walked into the workshop with Zhao Jiujiang and visited around.
After the new workshop, it covers a huge area, and three workshops were set up first, namely the porcelain workshop, the steelmaking workshop, and the ware making workshop, and then a new workshop was opened according to the demand. Each workshop is equipped with storage, batching, experiment, production, inspection and other departments. This new management model is Li Zhi's factory model for learning from modern society, which is also in the middle of the reconstruction workshop Li Zhi suddenly thought of and then ordered Zhao Jiujiang to build according to the requirements, so the area has increased several times than expected, when Zhao Jiujiang heard about this new system from Li Zhi, he was surprised again and again, and he was full of enthusiasm.
The structure of the porcelain-making workshop was moved by Li Zhi to the original team of craftsmen of the porcelain kiln, and the original site of the porcelain kiln, due to the abundance of clay resources, Li Zhi simply changed it into a raw material supply place for the porcelain workshop.
The area of the steelmaking workshop is the largest, one hundred furnaces of crucibles are neatly arranged, the spacing is clear, a furnace of crucibles can make fifty catties of molten steel at a time, and can be smelted up to two times a day, then the output of a furnace crucible a day is one hundred catties of molten steel, one hundred furnaces is ten thousand catties, and the output of five tons of steel a day is nothing, but in ancient times when the industrial level was backward, this is already a miracle.
There are more than 200 craftsmen in the steelmaking workshop alone, two craftsmen are responsible for a furnace, and then more than 30 craftsmen are responsible for casting, cooling, and demoulding the molten steel, and then storing the steel ingots in the warehouse for the craftsmen in the making workshop to use.
As for the tool-making workshop, it is divided into two functional areas, one is responsible for forging weapons, and the other is responsible for forging agricultural tools for sales according to market demand, so as to obtain funds.
Although the establishment of the three workshops takes up a lot of space, there is still space in the workshop.
Carefully visit the finished workshop, but also to understand each craftsman, Li Zhi is very satisfied, there is a sense of sophistication, these will be Li Zhi's industrial foundation based on the troubled times, although now even the prototype has not been built, but Li Zhi believes that with his unremitting efforts, the prosperity will eventually come.
After wandering around the workshop until the afternoon, Li Zhicai boarded the carriage and went home, and after a short delay after returning home, he issued the first decree to the domain.
