Chapter 19: Supporting Industries and New Beginnings
[Brothers, recommended tickets~~]
arranged for Wang Daosheng to go out to do errands, Lu Hong took the old servant Qin Fang out of the door and went straight to the yamen, Sun Wu, the head of the team at the yamen, saw Lu Hong, and hurriedly greeted him, "Master Lu, come so early, Lord Wu is checking the copywriting in the side courtyard, take you over?" ”。
"Sun Bantou, I'll go see Master Wu later, how should we do the things that are settled in the yamen!" This guy has seen him many times in the past few days, and he can be regarded as familiar, Lu Hong smiled, pulled this guy to the side and asked in a low voice...... He is still a blind streamer without a hukou, and there is no obstacle to wandering around Mengyin County, if he really goes out, it will be somewhat troublesome to walk outside.
Sun Wu had a flattering face, and responded with a smile: "Master Lu, Master Sun, who is in charge of household registration, is my own family, and I will take you there!" ”
"Then there's a labor leader!" Lu Hong smiled slightly, and stuffed two pieces of eagle ocean with his hand.
Sun Wu looked happy, quickly put it into his arms, led Lu Hong into the corner door of the central government, and after entering the wing room, a gray-haired little official looked like a person and Sun Wu muttered a few words, the little official nodded and asked Lu Hong's name, place of origin and other questions, and soon, a household registration license issued by the Mengyin Yamen arrived.
I took Wu Daxuan's Guan Wen as a temporary staff, and this identity is really not an official, but it is much more convenient to do things in this yamen...... However, this situation is true even in my own time, and the political shortcomings of thousands of years of feudalism in Greater China are obviously not something that can be controlled by individuals.
Out of the door, Lu Hong turned to the back office to find Wu Daxuan, and soon saw this in the quiet small attic of the side compartment, to talk about this diligence, Wu Daxuan estimated that he was ranked in seventy or eighty prefectures and counties in Shandong, and when he was said to be on the third pole, he had already started working in the yamen, looking like he was meditating, and there were a lot of official documents stacked in front of him.
In fact, the county magistrate in this era is definitely an idle position, the county lord has a long entourage, scribes, and staff, and he does these miscellaneous things, and the only thing that may require the county order to go out in person is only the local trial and judgment of cases, but in this era, how can there be so many big cases in the local area that have to be decided in the yamen...... If you have money and no reason, don't come in, this truth, the people can understand it very well, and the low-level officials can provide cheaper mediation services!
However, Wu Daxuan is obviously an alternative, this county magistrate who was released from a county and was born in a tiger class obviously expects to go further on the official road, and the discovery of Lu Hong obviously makes him even more confident in himself! And the issue he carefully considered just now was not a political matter, but a coal mine that had officially started!
"Nephew Lu Xian," Wu Daxuan pointed to an official document on the table, "Qian Yiduo just came before, saying that in order to build the coal preparation machine in a hurry, he needed to temporarily requisition Li Blacksmith and Liu Carpenter to help with it, which made me feel quite embarrassed. ”
"The foresight of the adults is also very admirable," Lu Hong immediately slapped his ass unashamedly, this problem, Lu Hong has already considered it, after all, as a traverser, the power of the industry comes from the machine, although the industrial machine of this level of collection is simple, but the shoddy production is definitely not good, he changed his words, "However, my lord, this is not a bad thing, but a great thing...... Didn't you notice that this is a different industry? ”
Wu Daxuan's idea is quite meticulous, Qian Yiduo wants to increase the scale of the mine, which monopolizes the only manufacturing capacity of the county, is undoubtedly the only way, and in fact, the super industrial system provides several machines for drawings, although the price is low, but the maintenance cycle of these simple machines in large-scale production is also very short, like the M1 concentrator, 30 days to carry out the maintenance of some wooden parts.
This special surname naturally determines the limited surname of these primary industrial scales, and it can almost be assumed that the continuous maintenance capacity ultimately determines the production capacity of the coal mine! And this principle also directly affects the scale of several other industries in Mengyin, after all, the underlying extractive industry is destined to fail to form a large industrial situation.
Wu Daxuan may not have thought that the industry of this coal mine could derive another industry, hearing Lu Hongyi say, pondered for a while, still has no experience, this guy's long face is somewhat unbearable, but he is still calm and pointed at Lu Hong, "Virtuous nephew, this is a good thing...... You can talk about it carefully, let the old man take a closer look! ”
"My lord, after our Mengyin industry is established, the demand for these machines will naturally increase greatly, but if this machine is used, it will definitely be broken, and if it is broken, it will naturally be repaired, which is a big injection industry...... This drawing was given by our yamen, and this industry will naturally be done by our yamen! Lu Hong explained step by step.
"That's a wonderful way! Virtuous nephew, how should this be done? Lao Wu immediately became interested, this industry is interlocking, it is really a good recipe for enriching the people, of course, his pocket must be rich first, however, he obviously didn't figure out how this industry should be built, after all, Li Blacksmith and Liu Carpenter are several generations of small business, so they don't force people to come over to work!
Lu Hong ridiculed this guy, pretended to ponder for a moment, patted the table lightly, and then turned his head sideways and said: "My lord, I have thought of a way to do this, but I have to go to Blacksmith Li and Carpenter Liu to finalize it first, let me finish it, and come back to you!" ”
Thinking in his heart that there was another injection of industry, Wu Daxuan was obviously in a good mood, he naturally knew that Lu Hong would not come to the door if he was fine, so he asked: "Nephew Lu Xian, is there something to find me today?" ”
These two sentences made Lu Hong feel a little satisfied, we didn't help you less, but we are here to collect interest today, "My lord, you have promised the property of Pan County Cheng and Chen Zhushu, I am thinking about going around the county to see if there are any minerals worth buying, otherwise, it will be difficult to do this rice cooking!" ”
"The virtuous nephew is really a pragmatic model, what is there that needs the help of the old man?" Hearing that Lu Hong wants to personally explore the minerals of Mengyin, this kind of work is definitely a thankless thing, before this Lu Xian's nephew came, his county master also knew that there was an abandoned coal mine in Wennan, as for other clay and Qilu granite, it was the first time I heard that Mengyin also had it, and if these industries were purchased, he would have two percent of the shares, so Wu Daxuan seemed very concerned!
"My lord, all you need is an announcement from the yamen, and I'll bring two more officials to help......"
"Oh...... This is naturally no problem, announce that I will immediately ask Master Chen to prepare for you, the officer, you find money to catch the head, and let him pick two more capable subordinates! ”
These two requirements are too simple to be honest, however, it is obvious that Lu Hong put it forward, and it was also carefully considered, under the banner of prospecting, he naturally did not go to explore any coal mines and granite, and the diamond veins in the middle of Mengshan Mountain were his real purpose, and in the name of the official family, it was obviously the best plan, as for whether to give Wu Daxuan a little benefit, it was not in the scope of consideration now, after all, what the output was, Lu Hong was honestly not sure.
Wu Daxuan is a virtuous nephew at this time, the one called is kind, to be honest, Lu Hong doesn't dare to trust anyone, including this guy, although the diamond industry is unheard of in China in this era, but there is no guarantee that this old Wu knows the value, so this industry must be secretly and effectively established!
And what Lu Hong is most worried about now is not actually the problem of the industry, but the problem of manpower, Wang Daosheng, Qi Kaiyuan and Chen Shuisheng, the three of them, basically meet their own requirements at present, as for the other manpower, it is really a big problem, fortunately, this matter has already been started, just wait for the results with peace of mind, of course, the means to control these workers, they still have a lot to try!
After walking around the city again, Lu Hong had two more servants behind him, but these two, one looked twenty years old but was stunned, and the other had puffy eyelids, and he was drunk everywhere he went, but he was an old drunkard, and he didn't spend much effort to get such two treasures.
Because I heard that I was going to enter the mountains, the fat man was also embarrassed, and the errand in the county town was willing to go to the countryside to stay, or the weather in this cold winter and wax moon, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to find it by himself, not to mention, this time it was not to go down to fight the autumn breeze and collect rent and taxes, and a lot of benefits could be taken at that time. Fortunately, he finally found these two treasures, and one person promised the benefit of an additional 2 taels of silver per person, which was done.
Lu Hong took them naturally not to go out of the city, but went straight to the carpenter Liu Dashi's shop, and the goods he ordered here were done first, and then he directly drafted a "Mengyin County Ya Machinery Maintenance Special License Agreement" on the spot, in fact, the content is very simple, Wu County ordered to purchase an industry called Mengyin Machinery Society, and later produced, sold, and repaired the industrial machines that Lu Hong went out here, all of which went through this Mengyin Machinery Society!
Of course, this is a win-win plan, since the big boss is Wu County, so, all the income of this machine club, the big boss Wu County Order will take half, since Wu County Order has taken the silver, it is a large umbrella, the Yamen is licensed, all the production, sales, and maintenance of industrial machinery must be monopolized by Liu Carpenter, and the price is naturally guided by the Yamen!
This is actually a local miniature version of the monopoly industry in later generations, Lu Hong did not hesitate to use it in Mengyin, and soon, he reached a consensus with Liu Carpenter and Li Blacksmith, and then, he quickly brought the two back to the county office, and said the results of the discussion to Wu Daxuan, this industry that he accounted for half of the shares out of thin air, immediately made this guy smile.
After coming out of the yamen, Lu Hong was very surprised to see a newspaper with vertical typesetting in the only small bookstore in Mengyin, which made him very surprised, and after spending 30 copper coins to buy it, he found out that it was actually a "Beijing Daily" printed by Yanjing Xinrong Newspaper on January 10, which was actually a popular folk newspaper in the Qing Dynasty, mainly to extract the content of the palace gate copy, edicts and chapters.
Although the "Beijing Daily" is a little worse and has expired for more than ten days, as a newspaper that can rarely be seen in this era, Lu Hong still read it very carefully, and as a result, one of the excerpts made him can't help but smash his glass.
