After the rain, the sky in Bianjing is blue, and a cool breeze blows, making the early summer cool. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info//q Β5. /

The construction of the North State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute in Bianjing City has been completed, and Han Qi's 10,000 new troops are divided into 100 teams of 100 sentry posts to guard the safety of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute.

There are bursts of trumpets in the workshops in the second district of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, and countless workshops roar and sound, and the sound of iron, stone opening, and coolies gather together, which is a song of labor.

The steelmaking workshop near Bianshui was an unplanned product, so Zhao Lei allocated an additional 100,000 taels of silver to let the engineering team build a long section of the fence and enclose the entire steelmaking workshop into the second district of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute.

The temperature in Bianjing after the rain is about 256 degrees, but the originally cool weather is not as good as the steelmaking workshop.

In the wide steelmaking workshop, there are at least hundreds of strong laborers, wearing shorts around their lower bodies, wearing their upper bodies, sweating like rain in the workshop to add coal, move iron, and be busy back and forth.

The steelmaking furnace is burning hot, coupled with the closed environment, so that there is a high temperature of at least 40 degrees in the steelmaking workshop, and the workers in the entire workshop are sweating and struggling on the front line of steelmaking.

"It's time for the fire, open the furnace!"

As the older foreman shouted hoarsely, several workers began to pull up the seals of the furnace, and with a burst of high temperature, fiery iron juice poured out of the furnace and slowly began to solidify.

"Another furnace of good steel is baked, and the salary of ten cents per person is in hand, the brothers have remembered it, and don't receive less wages at night!" The older foreman looked at the solidified iron juice and said to the workers around him with a happy face, causing the workers to calculate excitedly and laugh heartily.

"That's it! Transporting ore, ready for the next furnace! The old foreman laughed and said to the dozens of sturdy workers in his spare time,

"Master! There is no iron ore left. At this time, a worker outside the steel mill suddenly ran in and said to the elderly foreman with a sad face.

"What! How so. There is no ore left, what are we going to eat! The older foreman suddenly burst into a thunderous voice.

In order to improve the work efficiency of the workshop workers, Zhao Lei adopted the calculation method of low salary and high reward, and the ordinary workers in the steel mill have a fixed monthly salary of 100 Wen, which is much lower than the salary of 500 Wen in the general workshop, but the bonus paid by Zhao Lei to these workers is very considerable, and the steel mill can produce 10 furnaces of steel every day, as long as you are willing to work, there must be 100 Wen wages every day. At least three taels of silver a month, five or six times higher than the wages of other workshops, this bonus system has greatly improved the work efficiency of the workers in the steel mill, but what worries these people has arisen, the supply of ore in the imperial court has not been able to keep up with their steelmaking.

"Just now I asked a few officials outside, the next team to deliver ore will be in three days, which means that we can't start work in these three days." The worker who walked in outside said to the older foreman with a sad face.

"No! I have to go to the adults and say, if I don't go to work for three days, how much salary will be delayed! Remembering that he had earned 300 clerks in three days, the old housekeeper was so distressed that he said to himself.

The old steward called the adult. It was not Zhao Lei, the envoy of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but Pang Bai, a staff member sent by Zhao Lei to manage all the workshops in the second district. Today's Pang Bai has finally come out, managing hundreds of workshops and tens of thousands of workers at once, although he is still Zhao Lei's staff, but he is hanging on the post of the eight products of the imperial court.

In the study room of the most secret research institute of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, Zhao Lei is complaining to Su Xun, and the reason for the complaint is very simple, Zhao Lei's eldest son Zhao Feng is about to be five years old, and he should be blessed by the official family. However, Fan Zhongyan's new policy came as promised, and as soon as the edict of reform was overshadowed, the eldest son of Zhao Mansion immediately became the first batch of victims, and the angry Tian Lan scolded Fan Zhongyan in Zhao Lei's ears every day. By the way, he complained that Zhao Lei was careless in making friends.

"Huh! Mrs. Sister-in-law is also worried about the future of her children, but it is really redundant, although Feng'er is less than five years old. But the smart talent has been a little bit of a two, as long as you work hard, you don't have to worry about the Jinshi background, plus the adults in the officialdom are like morning and evening to worship the prime minister, a real official position is not worried, why complain so much! Su Xun heard Zhao Lei's complaint and replied with a smile.

"Smart, who in the Zhao Mansion doesn't know, that kid in your family is really smart! deceived my three boys and one daughter, and followed your boys everywhere every day. Zhao Lei glanced at Su Xun and said with some jealousy.

"You say Shi'er, the child is too naughty, even if he is a little smart, it is difficult to be elegant." Su Xun was modest on his lips, but his face betrayed the pride in his heart for his son.

If Su Shi is clever, it is difficult to be elegant! In thousands of years of Chinese history, I really can't find a few smart people, how can this guy's life be so good, look at the children of the old Su family, don't talk about the brothers of the Su family, Su Xiaomei is only one and a half years old, and her mouth has sweetly coaxed away many good things from Zhao's mansion, the sons of her own family, naughty and angry, the most annoying like dancing knives and guns, and when he was a child, he was carved out of a mold, which is really infuriating! Zhao Lei looked at the triumphant Su Xun and thought unbalancedly in his heart.

"My lord! A huge person from the second district sent an official document. Just when Zhao Lei's heart was unbalanced, a scribe walked in and said respectfully to Zhao Lei.

At this time, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute has been militarized, and the soldiers in the barracks in the first district can still go home, and when they go to the workshop in the second district, they have to make a report when they go out, and the craftsmen and officials in the research institute still have officials

The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute was split again, otherwise there would be no chance to go out, and the workshop area is large enough, and the various life shops such as bazaars, wine shops, and bathhouses can basically be said to be small towns, and the people who live in it can be completely self-sufficient even if they don't go out, and Pomber has no qualifications to enter the research institute at all, so he can only send the things in the workshop to the research institute in an official situation.

"The official letter sent by Pomber, it seems that something must have happened in the workshop." Su Xun heard that Pang Bai sent an official document and immediately said to Zhao Lei.

At this time, Zhao Lei was watching the official document, and after reading it, he handed the official document to Su Xun with a wry smile and said: "It's not a big deal, we underestimated the steelmaking capacity of the steel mill, and now the supply of iron ore can no longer keep up." ”

"Oh my God! It produces 300,000 catties of steel a month, an average of 10,000 catties of steel per day, and a steelmaking workshop has such a large output. No wonder the iron ore can't keep up! Su Xun looked at the official document and exclaimed.

"Yes! The annual output of steel in the entire Great Song Dynasty is only 300,000 catties, and the steelmaking mill can complete the task of the imperial court in one month, and it is normal for the iron ore to keep up, but the steelmaking plant is now lacking in iron ore, and it is not a way to be idle, it seems that we have to find a way to get some iron ore from other places. Zhao Lei frowned at this time and said to Su Xun.

"What can you think of, the amount of iron ore mined by the imperial court every year is limited, in addition to the distribution of the Bianjing Military Arsenal, but also the allocation of various states for the construction of agricultural tools and civil iron, the people of the Great Song Dynasty are hundreds of millions. The civilian use of iron is more than the military, if the iron ore supplied to the states is moved, once the spring plowing and autumn harvest are delayed, it is a big crime! Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei with a wry smile and explained.

Su Xun is right, after a hundred years of recuperation in the Northern Song Dynasty, the population has reached the peak of the feudal era, but other supporting technologies have not kept up, just like mining technology, the annual iron ore output of the Great Song Dynasty is limited, and it has to be supplied to the imperial court ordnance. The imperial court used iron yamen, and the states and counties of the Great Song Dynasty and other places. Coupled with the population base of the Great Song Dynasty and the amount of iron used, the supply of iron ore has always been insufficient, and the ordnance institute has been the priority supply, the emergence of the steel mill has made the iron ore supply insufficient, if the iron ore in other places is moved, the impact must be great, the only way is to increase the amount of mining, but this kind of thing involves too many local things, many government projects in the imperial court are under construction, and there is simply not so much labor. If labor is forcibly apportioned to the people, Zhao Lei will definitely bear a lot of infamy, and this problem is not easy to solve.

"If you delay for three days, you will delay for three days! Let the workers of the steel mill go to other workshops to help. The iron ore accumulated some time ago is now depleted, and I estimate that it will be delayed for at least ten days a month in the future, that is. The steel mill's steel output will be reduced from 300,000 to 200,000, but it will be enough to support the construction of all the equipment of the Ordnance Institute. After listening to Su Xun's words, Zhao Lei could only smile helplessly after pondering.

"Your Excellency can make a recital to the imperial court, explaining the situation of the steel mill, the output of the steel mill is also a political achievement, as long as you say it publicly, the matter of the iron mine will let the court find a way to solve the local dialect, and the steel mill will definitely let the adult add a heavy stroke in the political trial, why not!" Su Xun reminded Zhao Lei again at this time.

"Wait a while! You also know, recently I hid in the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Yuan, the people in the imperial court are crazy, and so many officials are in the shadow of opposing the reform, I don't know what they did at the beginning, if they opposed it at the beginning, the new deal will not make trouble, won't there be nothing! Really, I also hid here, my senior brother Wang Su was even more miserable, and went directly to Huashan Taoist Temple. Zhao Lei said to Su Xun with some schadenfreude.

"Fan Zhongyan, they have been having a hard time lately! I heard that there is going to be a scientific examination, and all the children of officials who are blinded will be gathered together for the examination, and all those who cannot pass will be withdrawn from their official positions, which is a very serious matter! As long as you haven't participated in the scientific examination, all the places have to take the exam, Kou Zhun's youngest son is fifty years old this year, and foreign governors need to come back for the exam, what's the matter! Is it! Su Xun also began to look at Fan Zhongyan's behavior of overturning a boatload of people with a rod at this time, and complained about those old people.

"So the hundred officials are now rebounding so violently, except for the few important ministers in the court, almost everyone is in line to oppose the Mengyin exam, but they are against the Mengyin exam, not the Mengyin, there is something to be bored here, Fan Zhongyan is estimated to be playing what tricks to advance and retreat, and so those opposing officials have gathered, but suddenly announced that the age of the Mengyin examination is under thirty years old, which can definitely disperse the anger of the opposing officials, and the Mengyin examination is justified, this trick is good, Fan Zhongyan is more and more cunning, I don't know who is supporting the move, clever! Zhao Lei smiled and said to Su Xun.

"Humph! Brilliant! The more Ming Ming, the more he offends people, and when the hundred officials react, after being tricked by Fan Zhongyan, they will be more resentful of Fan Zhongyan and others, and there are more people who will fall into the well when the new deal fails, don't look at getting through a difficult situation now, for the countless enemies under the tree in the future, the gains outweigh the losses! Su Xun sneered and refuted Zhao Lei's opinion and said.

"Isn't this exactly what we want to see, the more people the New Deal offends, the sooner it will end, and the Great Song Dynasty will not hurt its vitality." Zhao Lei looked at Su Xun with a strange look and said with a smile.

Fan Zhongyan's trick won't be you! Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei and thought with a chill in his heart.
