Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Man of Rank

By the time Yan Guang walked back to the factory, it was almost noon.

Seeing that Yan Guang was back, Wang Er and the others, who had been waiting at the gate, hurriedly greeted him.

"Boss? Nothing, right? ”

"It's okay..."Yan Guang smiled and shook his head. If you insist on saying it, it can only be said to be a good thing. ”

"A good thing?" Now it's not just Wang Er, even a few other people are a little curious.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, generally speaking, if you are called by the government, it is difficult for good things to happen, and the usual result can only be to break the wealth and avoid disasters.

"Of course it's a good thing." Saying that, Yan Guang repeated what Yu Zongtong had just said to himself with them.

"That's it..."It was indeed a good thing to hear it, and Wang Er and the others were also a lot more relieved when they arrived.

"By the way, did you continue after I left?"

"You were taken away by those officials, how can we still have the heart to work..."Wang Er smiled bitterly. But now that you're back safely, what about us now? ”

"Let's eat first." Yan Guang looked at his watch. "It's 11 o'clock, and we'll continue to work after dinner, and strive to install all the machines in these two days."

"Got it." Wang Er nodded.

In the prefect's yamen, Yu Zongtong took a sedan chair to the governor's palace after seeing Yan Guang.

After reporting all the things he and Yan Guang talked about to Zhao Erfeng, Zhao Erfeng nodded.

If it is really as he said, then it is nothing to apply for a seven-grade top for him to apply to the imperial court. By the way, what's the name of his company? ”

"Huasheng Company." Yu Zongtong hurriedly replied.

"Well, since this Huasheng company is currently the largest enterprise in Sichuan, and it is also under your rule, you must take care of it more in the future..."

Yu Zongtong naturally knew what this care meant, it was nothing more than not to let the people below fish too hard.

After returning to the yamen, Yu Zongtong summoned all the people under him, and then conveyed Zhao Erfeng's words.

After hearing about a very large factory recently set up in Chengdu, the people below originally wanted to go over to make a little profit, but now when they heard that it was actually the governor who spoke, they also dispelled a lot of thoughts.

These people don't think that Zhao Erfeng wants to cultivate a national enterprise, they just think that Yan Guang has fed Zhao Erfeng, so they will speak. It's pitiful, Yan Guang doesn't even know what Zhao Erfeng looks like.

But no matter what, Zhao Erfeng's move still eliminated some unnecessary troubles for Yan Guang.

In the factory, Yan Guang and the others returned to work after dinner, and all the machines were installed on the same day.

On the second day, just after dawning, Wang Er came to knock on the door again.

"Boss, someone from the government is here."

"Got it." Yan Guang stretched, then sat up from the bed. Now that he knew that he was here for an inspection this time, Yan Guang naturally wouldn't be worried about anything. "You take them to see the machine first, and I'll be there later."

"Understood." Wang Er nodded outside the door and left.

Although the people who came this time were mainly responsible for checking the value of those machines, Yan Guang still understood the reason that the king of Hades was easy to mess with imps, so after getting dressed, he carried some silver tickets in it.

It will be done later, even if he really gets a seven-grade, Yan Guang doesn't think he can scare anyone, this kind of official is the same as a bought official, it is worthless...

After walking into the factory, Yan Guang saw that the official messenger who came yesterday was taking a few people around to look at the installed machines, and Wang Er, who was accompanying them, hurriedly walked over after seeing Yan Guang come in.

"Boss."

"How's it going?"

"They have already seen the machines in the factory, and now they are looking at the installed ones."

Yan Guang nodded, and walked towards the people sent by the government.

"Everyone? What do you think? ”

"Hmm..." The few people who were watching around the machine saw Yan Guang coming, and they also knew that it was the main master, so they stood up straight one by one. The total value of these machines together is indeed more than 200,000 yuan, there is no doubt about it..."Several people next to him also nodded yes.

"In that case, then it's considered qualified?" A smile appeared on Yan Guang's face.

"It's nature." A middle-aged man in a horse coat at the head nodded, and then said to the errand officer on the side. "Now you can go and reply to the prefect."

Yan Guang hurriedly took out two silver tickets of fifty taels and sent them up, and the middle-aged man in the horse coat took it and looked at it, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What's so embarrassing about that," he said, but he still put away the silver ticket.

And those errand officers also received the silver tickets from Yan Guang, so they also showed a smile.

Although the prefect has conveyed the governor's meaning and asked them not to come to this factory to fish, but now it is not them who fish, but the boss Yan who took the initiative to give it, so...

If you don't accept it, isn't it a little too unfamiliar?

"Boss Yan, since these people have already said that there is no problem, then the villain will congratulate Boss Yan here first!" Although it is only a seven-grade product, and it is still false, it can't control the people of their prefect's yamen at all, but since they have received money, they don't mind saying something nice.

"Where, whereβ€”" Yan Guang waved his hand. In the future, Yan's factory will ask you to take care of it..."

After hearing this, the messenger said that I want to take care of it, and I still take good care of it, but since the governor and the prefect have already taken care of you, I can't take care of you even if I want to...

But anyway, I made a hundred taels today, and their brothers can get at least a few months' worth of money each, so they are in a pretty good mood.

After saying a few kind words, Yan Guang personally sent the people out of the factory.

Then, Yan Guang asked one of his accountants to go to the city and recruit a few translators who knew English for him.

Although the machine has been installed, the recruited workers need to be trained, but hundreds of people in the whole factory know both English and Chinese by themselves, and there is nothing to translate under the usual part-time job, if there is anything ...

Thinking that he had to act as an interpreter between those few foreign technicians and hundreds of people, Yan Guang felt a chill.

The accountant couldn't understand Yan Guang's feelings, but since the boss asked him to go to the provincial city to recruit an English translator, he would just recruit himself. After a few days of recruitment, I finally recruited three people who knew English.

At this time, the prefect's yamen also sent people down to let Yan Guang go over to receive the crown from the imperial court.

After walking to the prefect's yamen, Yan Guang, who came back in official uniforms, can be regarded as a high-ranking person in this era.
