Chapter 67: Poor Second Ancestor

As soon as Hai Feng saw Yinzhen's expression, he knew that this master was probably negligent, and his mind turned quickly, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Master, the slave only heard him mention this issue today." Bayi Chinese~" Seeing that Yin Zhen was not annoyed, he boldly said: "Even so, it is better for the craftsmen to select the most suitable iron material for casting cannons, find out the supply place, and then import iron materials from that place in the future, and save the trouble of heavy refining." ”

Yinzhen shook his head slowly, he built an ironmaking plant not only for casting cannons, steel is the foundation of modern industrial development, and his original intention of building an ironmaking plant was to gather a group of experienced craftsmen and work together to promote steelmaking technology.

Glancing at Gu Mingkai, he asked curiously, "Have you studied ironmaking before?" ”

Gu Mingkai's face turned red, and he said shyly: "No, when I went to Shanghai to help take care of the ironworks, I only looked for books on this subject to read, and I often asked the old craftsmen of ironmaking." ”

Yin Zhen immediately reacted, "You mean, the ironworks are not in the right location, and those craftsmen have also reported it?" ”

"Yes, they first reported it to me, and I checked a lot of information for this, large-scale ironmaking must use hydraulic blowers, otherwise the temperature will not meet the requirements."

Yinzhen was not afraid of making a fool of himself at this time, he couldn't cast a good cannon without good iron, so he threw his face to his grandmother's house, "Let's go to the study pavilion, let's go to the ironworks together and listen to the opinions of those old craftsmen." ”

An on-site symposium was held, and Yinzhen made a decision on the spot, appointing Gu Mingkai as the chief manager of the ironworks, and several old craftsmen were also promoted to be foremen, and the location of the new ironworks was surveyed by him, the chief manager, and several foremen, and rewarded them with ten taels of silver each.

As soon as he returned to Liuchun Garden, Yinzhen gathered all his subordinates and officials and carried out a profound self-examination, so as not to avoid self-criticism, so as not to scare them, and then mobilized them to go deep into every factory and construction site, discuss more with the old craftsmen, and see what else needs to be improved? He also announced that those who put forward reasonable suggestions for improvement and were adopted would be given rewards such as salary increases, reuse, and allocation, and at the same time, Gu Mingkai would be used as a model to publicize and encourage all the children of famous families who came to Shanghai to learn from his pragmatic spirit.

In fact, there is no need for Yinzhen to deliberately publicize, Gu Mingkai and the relocation of the ironworks, in less than half a day, in all the construction sites are boiling, everyone is envious of Gu Mingkai at the same time, but also began to look for it with a scrutinizing eye, to see that there are still those unreasonable places, this opportunity is fleeting, by others to take the lead, the salary and treatment can be a big difference.

With the promotion of Yinzhen's reward system, the entire Honggang has launched a vigorous provocation campaign, and Yinzhen has to screen and discuss various suggestions with a group of subordinates and old craftsmen in various industries every night.

Although it is a little tired, Yinzhen still insists on replying to every suggestion put forward, and the use is naturally a reward, and if it is not adopted, it must also be written out of the reason, which is a respect and affirmation for them, and it is also an invisible encouragement, and this practice can also bring them closer to the relationship with the craftsmen, but this time, it will hurt those scribes and masters, and they have to stay up until midnight every day.

Yinzhen's practice, greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of a group of craftsmen, rushed to a group of famous families to see Yinzhen from the good flow, decisive, the appointment and promotion of personnel are meritocracy, but also have to sink down, work hard, and Yinzhen to them do not have the slightest treatment, according to their respective specialties to assign errands, there are good in practice, thinking hard, once found to give promotion, is not a talent, pull out of the slip to know.

The more than 200 children of the clan who were temporarily stationed in Liuchun Garden originally thought that when they arrived in Shanghai, this hard life would come to an end, but they soon found that this hard life had just begun, and the training from Beijing to Shanghai was completely pediatric compared to what it is now.

Yinzhen now divides them into four squadrons and twenty-one squadrons, and the squadron leader and squad leader are all served by the top performers, and their daily training plan is to get up at four o'clock, then run ten miles in the morning, eat breakfast, and then queue training, swim training, rest for an hour, swim and queue training, eat dinner, and then the missionaries teach English, go to bed at the same time, and that night is unhappy, and there is an emergency meeting in the middle of the night.

What's even more odious is that Yinzhen stipulates that the last five squadrons in five days are responsible for cleaning, flushing the hair toilet, and washing the urine bucket, and the last three squadrons in a row will be collectively expelled from the navy, and the training volume of the last squadron in five days will be increased by 30%.

This group of second ancestors has been waiting for a few maids and servants from childhood to adulthood, typical clothes to stretch out their hands, food to open their mouths, how have they ever done these rough jobs? The thought of going to brush the urine buckets and hair toilets of other squads made all the hairs stand on end, and when I return to Jingshi in the future, I can still hold my head up in front of people?

One by one, the squad landed on the slogan of 'no urine bucket, no washing the toilet', and began to play with life, and the sense of honor of the squad and squadron was unprecedentedly high.

They can't describe Yinzhen in words now, and they don't know which Yangyi he learned these weird team exercises, forcing them to practice every day, and they revolve around them when they have nothing to do, and if they are a little dissatisfied, they are corporal punishment, and they don't think about any family affection at all, and they don't care what camp you are, they all treat them as the same person, and in the first few days, they still have complaints, and after a few days, they are all numb.

Yinzhen was busy in Shanghai, and Kangxi took the crown prince Yinren, the fourth son of the emperor and the prince of Shuoyong Yinzhen, the seventh son of the emperor Doluo Chunjun Wang Yinyou, the eighth son of the emperor Dorobelle Yinxi, the twelfth son of the emperor Gushan Beizi Yinyu, the fifteenth son of the emperor Yinlu, and the sixteenth son of the emperor Yinlu to patrol the Xingsai.

On the seventh day of May, Zhang Pengxi, the head of the household department who was ordered to go to Jiangnan last year to investigate the corruption case of Yi Sigong, the former political envoy of Jiangsu, and Yu Zhu, the governor of Jiangsu, was on suspicion: Yi Sigong, the former political envoy of Jiangsu, was extorting money and spending money and accepting bribes from subordinate officials, so he should be hanged and imprisoned. The governor lived in the quasi-same city, but did not raise the issue of impeachment and planned to be dismissed.

On the ninth day of the first month of May, Zhang Pengxi went up again: When Yi Sigong was appointed as the political envoy of Jiangsu, he and the governor Yu Zhun had a deficit of 461,000 taels of treasury silver, and had already repaid more than 297,000 taels, and still owed more than 164,000 taels, and this money was strictly recovered within a time limit.

Regarding Zhang Pengxi's two slack, the Criminal Department replied and agreed.

On May 19, Jin Shiyang, the envoy of Henan Province, was the political envoy of Jiangsu, and Chen Pengnian was still the prefect of Suzhou.

With the arrival of Di Bao, the rumors of the entire Jiangnan officialdom suddenly became tense again.
