Chapter 45: The Villain

"Yikes... Master Huang, I can't see that you are so eloquent..."The surrounding officials laughed and joked as they scrambled to see the new money.

Huang Lao's appearance in the council hall is definitely taciturn. But at this moment, when he returned to his own territory, he was completely replaced by a different person. I saw that he was cooperating with both hands to handle the copper coins, and his movements were as skillful as flying. On the mouth, he retorted without delay, "Do a line, say a line." How to help the chief manager govern the place, then I don't understand, and I don't dare to interject. But how to teach the disciples and find them jobs. You adults may not know much better than Huang. There is a way that jade is not cut, and the baby's life is too comfortable, but it is not easy to grow. This is the reason why the older generation of craftsmen always like to give their children to others to teach. When a father treats his son, he can't be ruthless. Give it to outsiders, and if you should pick up a sledgehammer, you will pick a sledgehammer, and if you should carry an iron ingot, you will carry an iron ingot..."

As he spoke, there was already a whole stack of processed copper coins beside him, all of them clean and shining, and the golden light was dazzling. And Jiao Yu commanded the two craftsmen and other craftsmen, and they also punched and pressed several rounds one after another, so that the entire tray was filled with yellow Huaxia Tongbao, which looked colorful.

This efficiency will definitely be able to throw off the past method of casting with molds for thousands of miles. Although all the officials were laymen, they were also overjoyed. At this time, there is only one set of machines running in the whole workshop, if in the future, as Huang Lao Crooked said, more than ten sets of machines will be opened at the same time, I am afraid that within half an hour, tens of thousands of copper coins will be created.

Give enough craftsmen three shifts, and make more than 200,000 pieces of money a day, that year? At this rate, as long as the copper material can keep up, I am afraid it will not take too long, and under the rule of the entire Huaiyang Governor's Office, Huaxia Tongbao will have to become popular. And with the continuous increase of Huai'an's military-controlled territory and the circulation of Huaxia Tongbao, the status of money-making workshops may also rise. Until then

Immediately, someone's mind began to spin rapidly. He was thinking about how he could bring money-making workshops under his jurisdiction. Unexpectedly, before everyone could think of a reason, Zhu Chongjiu had already made a decision first, "Yes, you three did a good job..."Throwing the copper coin in his hand back into the tray, he laughed and said, "Hurry up and make persistent efforts to install more machines." In the future, Zhang Song will be in charge of the affairs of the mint. The Household Bureau and the Industrial Bureau each sent a competent person to assist. In the future, if we need to expand the scale, we will consider reassigning other people..."

"Thank you for your trust, Weichen will not be dishonored..."Zhang Song, the director of the Internal Affairs Department, was waiting for this sentence, and immediately bent down and said in a choked voice.

"Yes..."Mr. Su and Huang Laowei also bowed their hands, expressing their willingness to do their best to support Zhang Song.

Now, everyone looked at Zhang Song's gaze, which was a little complicated. In particular, the old master Lu Luzeng has always advocated that the Ming monarch must be 'pro-virtuous ministers, far from villains'. And Zhu Chongjiu's recent actions are obviously the opposite, how can he be happy?

was depressed, but saw Zhu Chongjiu walking to the master master Jiao Yu, leaning over the latter's ear and shouting: "The noise is so loud, is there a problem with the gear coordination?" ”

"Yes, it's not all..."Jiao Yu transferred the work in his hand to the craftsman beside him, and then shouted in the same high voice, "The second lander is like you proposed at the beginning, instead of directly using water hammer, it has a few transitions in the middle. For each lane, several gears are used. The more gears there are, the louder the sound is. In addition, there are still problems with the gears we have made, and there are still problems with each other. It takes more than ten days to get quieter. ”

"Didn't you try to use the new ruler?" Zhu Chongjiu put his hands on his mouth, and there was not the slightest grace and bearing that he should have as an emperor.

"It's all new rulers, but it still doesn't work. I've drawn hundreds of drawings alone, and I don't know why. When it came to technical issues, Jiao Yu also became a complete madman. Facing Zhu Chongjiu, dancing with his hands, foaming at the stars. Weichen thought that if it really didn't work, the second forging machine would be directly stamped with a water hammer. Although it is easy to hurt people, it is easy to solve problems if something goes wrong. It's not like this machine, you go around and around, and if something goes wrong, you have to look for it for a long time!"

"You can do it, but if you can use new technology, you can use new technology. Even if there are many problems, they can be improved little by little... Don't give up on the road of innovation, as the head of the Great Craftsman Academy, you have to have the courage to eat the first bite of crab..."Zhu Chongjiu was full of words that everyone didn't understand, and continued to quarrel with Jiao Yu.

Influenced by the soul of Zhu Dapeng in another time and space, he is very keen on scientific and technological innovation. I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with discussing issues with Jiao Yu as an equal, and I didn't feel that the surrounding environment was too noisy. The whole person is immersed in the role of that little engineering otaku in another time and space, and before I know it, I forget where I am now.

Wechen understood. Don't you see that now the entire Great Craftsman Academy and Hundred Workshops are all using our new measurement standards in Huaiyang? But this matter is in a hurry, there must be a process, and you can't become a fat man in one breath..."If Jiao Yu is placed in the future life, he is also a technical maniac, and he has no dignity in his eyes at the moment, and continues to spit at Zhu Chongjiu's face.

"If I change some gears to belts"

"How is it possible, do you know how to do it, lord? Belt transmission is the most susceptible to slippage, and the output is not stable. And the embossing on the money cake must have a continuous momentum. In case of a stop in the middle, the whole set of cakes will have to re-melt the cast copper plates. ”

"Put more oil on the gears, or simply wrap the gears in a box and soak them directly in the oil..."

"Oh my God, how much oil does that take. Lord, you are a real loser... But, hey, maybe this trick will work."

The two talked happily, and in front of everyone, they discussed how to improve the money making machine. Inside his mouth, a lot of fresh names bubbled out. From the ruler of the sky to the ruler of the earth, from the money, two to the gram, the temperature talks about the time, and then from the belt transmission to the gear lubrication, I don't care about the thunderous noise of the two machines next to me. (Note 1)

The more Lu Lu looked at the neighborhood, the more anxious he became, and the more he looked at it, the more depressed he became. rubbed his head with his hand and sighed**: "No, no, the old man is old, and he can't stand the roar of this machine." Go out first to breathe, Su Changshi, please confess to the chief manager for the old man for a while. ”

"Don't be upset, the chief manager is serious when he starts to do things..."Su Mingzhe glanced at Zhu Chongjiu, who was devoting himself to the great cause of improving the forging machine, and his eyes showed a little doting, "Master go slowly, I don't like to listen to the sound of this machine, so I just go out with you to breathe..."

After that, he walked slowly to the courtyard with his golden cane.

The two most powerful old guys dared to find an excuse to escape, and the other officials were not so bold. I could only continue to endure the piercing roar of the machine, holding the copper coin that Huang Lao had polished crookedly in his hand, and playing and playing.

Only Zhang Song, the head of the Internal Affairs Department, finally got a beautiful job as he wished, and he was satisfied. didn't feel the sound of Ji Qì irritated at all, but deliberately leaned over, staring at Huang Cancan's copper coins falling into the tray one by one, as if he was counting the wealth that was about to be put into the warehouse for himself.

"Master Zhang, but be careful..."Someone really couldn't get used to Zhang Song's villainous appearance, so he leaned into his ear and ridiculed loudly, "Since ancient times, the matter of coinage has been full of risks. Director Zhang used to be responsible for staring at others every day, don't be targeted one day..."

With such mean words, how could Zhang Song not hear the malice? However, he changed his previous temperament, waved his hand, and responded with a smile: "Thank you Brother Li for reminding me, Zhang naturally knows the stakes." But our coinage here is not as good as before. The size of each copper plate is fixed, and how much cake can be rolled out of it is also fixed. As long as you count how many copper plates come in every day, and how many copper coins should be sent out, it will naturally be clear. As for the remaining leftovers, there are also special people who are responsible for collecting them and re-melting them to make copper plates. In the future, no matter which one succeeds Zhang, it may not be easy to reach out indiscriminately..."

The words can be described as well-founded and well-founded, with clear layers. The instigator was immediately dumbfounded. However, Zhang Song didn't know how to accept it when he saw it, turned his head, and gently bowed his hand to other colleagues who were very plain and didn't like him, "Zhang knows what you're worried about?" It's just that Zhang's previous official reputation was not very good, and he was afraid that Zhang wouldn't be able to control himself. But Zhang is also a serious imperial examination background, and like you, he reads all the articles of sages. How can you not know the word shame in your heart? But in the past, there was no way to be an official of the Great Yuan Dynasty. If you are not greedy or take it, you may not even be able to stand firm on your heels. Brother Berwyn, do you say yes or no? ”

"That, that's not wrong..."Liu Bowen didn't expect Zhang Song to find him, so he was caught off guard, so he could only respond with a smile. In the past, as Zhang Song said, he refused to go along with others, so he was ostracized by his colleagues wherever he went. There is no choice but to hang up the crown and leave, so he has a clean reputation.

"But our boss is different..."Zhang Song's voice raised again, as if he was slapping Zhu Chongjiu's ass with all his might, "As long as you have the ability and are willing to work hard, you won't have to worry about getting ahead." And the salary is sufficient, and there are still a lot of job dividends to be paid at the end of the year. Zhang is stupid, so he will be greedy for the fire consumption of making money, instead of assisting the chief manager to dominate the world, in order to make a name behind him..."
