Wang Xiangling did rush into the palace as soon as he received the promotion order, not to show his loyalty for gratitude, but to know that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu at this point is a hot potato, the military workshops in Shanghai and Tianjin are all included in the name of the Ministry of Industry, and the banner people enter the military workshops in Tianjin, not only have a lot of affairs, but also burn his eyebrows, how dare he have the slightest neglect?

After receiving the edict, he and a group of colleagues in a few words of false entertainment, then pushed down the banquet, rushed into the palace to see the crown prince, along the way, he was happy and worried, the official servant is from the second grade, from the first grade of the Shangshu is a real over-migration, from the second grade to the first grade is a huge threshold, the vast majority of officials can not break through this threshold in their lifetime.

There are a lot of second-grade officials in Beijing, and there are many local second-grade officials such as political envoys, envoys, governors, governors, governors of Caoyun, governors of river transportation, and local governors who do not have the title of Shangshu, but there are only a few positions in the first rank, and the competition is fierce, it is conceivable that he is already seventy and two this year, and it is enough to be promoted to a first-class member in his lifetime.

And what worries him is this promotion, he has become a pivotal figure in the 14th Party, which is tantamount to pushing him to the cusp, although the crown prince is now in full swing, but it is a little sharp, Kangxi is now recovering well, once he recovers, this battle for imperial power is inevitable, Kangxi Spring and Autumn is high, and the possibility of abolishing the prince is not big, at that time, it may be them who will be suppressed by the members of the 14th Party.

In addition, after all the military workshops were incorporated into the Ministry of Industry, although the power of the Ministry of Industry has increased greatly, but the affairs will inevitably be busier, and it is impossible to expect that Man Shangshu will share his worries, as soon as he takes office, he will face such a big stall, and he is really worried that this old bone will not be able to survive, the crown prince has always acted with foresight, and it is impossible to stop there if he stuffs the banner man into the military workshop. There should be follow-up actions, and he can't mistake the crown prince's affairs.

Entering Yuqing Palace, Wang Xiangling hurriedly took a few steps and knelt down to Yinzhen, and said, "Weichen Wang Xiangling knocked to see the crown prince." "Finished. He kowtowed respectfully and said: "The crown prince knows the grace of the encounter, even if the minister is broken, he will not be able to repay it, only to work diligently to live up to the crown prince's grace." ”

Yinzhen quietly glanced at Wang Xiangling, who was famous for poetry when he was young, and continued to write throughout his life, and can be called a famous poet of the Qing Dynasty. Literary scholar, but he is cautious and peaceful, and he is too old to be suitable for the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry at this time, but he is honest and honest, and he is not proud of his talents, nor is he proud of his achievements. It is a great advantage to be good at promoting talents and rewarding backwards.

Moaned slightly. Yinzhen said calmly: "You don't have to be formal, get up, sit down and talk." ”

After Wang Xiangling thanked him, he sat down diagonally, and after he sat down, Yinzhen said: "In the next few months, the Ministry of Industry will inevitably make you busy, and you are still in good spirits, but you can't be too tired." I don't have a lot of people on hand, so I don't want you to get tired.

The military workshop is related to the logistics supply of the Navy and the Janissary New Army, as well as the livelihood of the banner people. In the future, the entire Ministry of Industry must also persevere, and regard it as a top priority in the long run.

The military workshop is not only to solve the livelihood of the flag people, but also to explore and innovate the government-run workshop, and to explore and innovate the government-run workshop and explore a set of mature workshop management system to achieve the purpose of leading the private workshop. ”

Speaking of this, Yinzhen paused deliberately, picked up the teacup and slowly took a few sips of tea, the banner people marched into the workshop to play an immeasurable role in the future development of the Qing Dynasty, the flag people not only have a special identity, the popularity of education is also high, the organization and discipline are strong, and there is a strong sense of responsibility, and they are trained into the first batch of industrial workers in the Qing Dynasty, it is still very feasible. …,

After the banner people enter the military workshop, they can try to implement a new management model, develop and introduce a large number of advanced European technology, and some of their own knowledge can also be gradually instilled in them, have abundant funds, and can introduce new technologies in a timely manner, coupled with a mature management model, they will not worry about attracting talents, and it is impossible to lag behind the development of Europe.

Listening to Yinzhen's last sentence, Wang Xiangling's heart couldn't help but be shocked, he never thought that behind the crown prince's encouragement of the banner people to join the army workshop, it turned out to be this purpose! How can government-run workshops be innovated? Is there something wrong with the existing management? It's not been managed like this for so many years, but I haven't seen any mistakes.

After a slight pause, Yinzhen continued: "The existing government-run workshop management is chaotic, the model is rigid, and it cannot be applied to the military workshop at all, because the military workshop not only requires quality, but also pursues output, which requires that the enthusiasm of the workshop craftsmen must be greatly improved.

The type of work, the working time, the quality and quantity of the products, the consumption of raw materials, the rate of defective products, etc., must be linked to their wages, that is, they are paid according to their work.

In addition, it is necessary to divide craftsmen into grades, and their wages are linked to their ranks, just like the grades and salaries of officials, so as to motivate their self-motivation, because military workshops have long needed skilled craftsmen, and training a skilled craftsman not only takes time, but also consumes a lot of raw materials. ”

After a little hesitation, Yinzhen continued: "When the flag people enter the workshop, they will first be apprentices for three months, and the wages will be calculated according to one tael of silver, and after passing the qualifications, the wages will be calculated according to two taels of silver in one month, and the base will be increased upwards, and the most senior craftsmen are allowed to scoop up to twelve taels in January." If the apprentice is still unable to pass for half a year, he will be resolutely dismissed, and we will not raise waste.

There must be a strict system for the rating of craftsmen, it must be made public, and it must be publicly evaluated, and ugly phenomena such as private giving and receiving, buying and selling, and giving favors are not allowed, so as not to discourage the enthusiasm of all craftsmen.

The military workshop produces ordnance, and it is necessary to make more efforts in management, and furthermore, although the banner people have many worries, it is not easy to manage, so it is necessary to have a detailed management system, and those who do not obey the management, no matter how high-level craftsmen, are all dismissed.

If you are in contact with the military workshop for the first time and lack understanding, you can go to Tianjin to learn about it and solicit opinions extensively, not only to solicit the opinions of the workshop managers, supervisors, and craftsmen, but also to solicit the opinions of craftsmen. ”

"Raise the artisan's membership?" Wang Xiangling couldn't help but ask in surprise, he couldn't hold back the high salary in front of him, but he couldn't hold back when he heard about the elevation.

"Why not? Craftsmen are also indispensable talents in the Qing Dynasty. Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "All the systems formulated must be announced in the military workshop, and the craftsmen should be organized to study, and the rewards for raising their status should also be written. ”

Wang Xiangling listened to it for a while, the crown prince is such a big hand, what will this military workshop develop into in the future? At this time, he didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly memorized these points that Yinzhen had just said.

After a pause, Yinzhen continued: "The Ministry of Industry's Manshang Book is full of inlays. Yellow. The flag man, transferred from the left capital imperial history, is cautious, will not share worries for you, and will not hinder, you just let go of it, no need to scruple. Whether it is a military workshop or a ministry of industry, you must focus on discovering and promoting talents, and don't be afraid of exceptional promotions. ..., the Ministry of Industry has a lot of affairs, and it is messy, you are old, your energy is limited, you should pay special attention to your body, you can let go of the people below to do it, at the moment, first the general workshop to sort out the clue, the original workshop of the Ministry of Industry and then slowly learn from the success of the military workshop. ”

Wang Xiangling hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen respects the crown prince's order. Raising his body and hesitating slightly, he asked, "Prince, is the expenditure of the military workshop included in the Ministry of Industry, or is it a separate expense?" ”

"If the name is not right, it will not be good, and it will be included in the Ministry of Industry." Yinzhen groaned slightly, and then said: "However, don't mix with the original accounts of the Ministry of Industry, find a competent and trustworthy person to manage it, the income and expenditure of the military workshop are huge, and the accounts must be independent and need to be kept secret." ”

Hearing that it was going to be kept secret, Wang Xiangling couldn't help but feel nervous, does the prince still want to set up a private account? This matter is too important, he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly bowed down to accept it.

*

When Wang Xiangling bowed and withdrew, Yinzhen got up and moved a little, and then slowly paced up in the hall, the flag people into the army workshop, will trigger a series of chain reactions, the first thing affected is the social status of the craftsmen, they will no longer be despised by others, the military workshop attaches importance to craftsmen, especially high salaries and carrying into the flag, will make more and more idlers who have no way out turn into craftsmen.

Furthermore, miscellaneous studies, arithmetic and Western studies that are closely related to craftsmen will also flourish, now people are thriving, the style of writing is prosperous, and it is undoubtedly more and more difficult to pass the imperial examination, once every three years, tens of thousands of people take the examination, and there are only more than 300 people who can enter the jinshi, on the contrary, the team of lifting people is increasing year by year, and many people are still a child in their lives.

The imperial court now attaches great importance to agriculture and craftsmen, not only to elevate their social status, but also to have favorable treatment, which will inevitably attract some scholars to turn to miscellaneous, arithmetic and Western studies, in order to get ahead in agriculture and handicrafts.

These benefits and influences are really a bit unexpected by Yinzhen, and they can be regarded as unexpected gains. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
