Chapter 154: The Beginning of Change

"Lord Lord, my efficiency is already very high, it is impossible to become faster, many things are not meticulous, and the people below can't do it at all. To improve efficiency, please forgive Ge Shiyang for not being able to do it. ”

Yang Meng, the lord of his own family, opened his mouth and finished the matter, but Ge Shiyang knew the difficulties in the Dao, an iron factory had been planned for almost two years, but in fact, the real time was only half a year.

It's not that the craftsmen below don't contribute, but they don't say how to contribute at all, and it's easy to improve efficiency, but it's difficult to do it in practice, and it's not Ge Shiyang's style of doing things that he can't do.

"My lord, I admire your heart, but you are really wrong to blame Golis! Do you know the truth? In order to do things for you, Golis lived an ascetic life, sleeping only four hours a day, and my nieces and I often heard Golis's dreams at night, and every time he talked about some things in the ironworks.

Your craftsmen, although they are highly skilled, do not have the idea of collaboration, each has a different way of doing things, and the results of Golith are also in front of you.

The craftsmen under your command, the iron factory that has not been built for more than a year, it only took half a year for the iron factory to have products. Although your craftsmen had done a lot of work before, without the help of Golis, the completion of the ironworks would have been greatly delayed.

Your lord, you have a big heart and a sharp vision, but you should not accuse Golis like this, he has devoted all his life to your career, and it is very unfair for you to treat Golis like this. ”

Most people with the same illness can understand each other's pain, and Ge Shiyang is conscientious and conscientious in Xishan. Not only did I not get the lord's approval. Instead, he was reprimanded. This provoked Tiffany, who lived an ascetic life with Ge Shiyang and was extremely depressed, to refute Yang Meng, the lord.

Everything Ge Shiyang did in Xishan, Tiffany was a first-hand witness, Tiffany didn't like Minghu Academy, and the place where she had two nieces was her paradise in Yunnan.

Since Ge Shiyang captured the strong men of his two daughters, Tiffany has been staying in the land of Xishan, and she can be regarded as Ge Shiyang's confidant!

"Huh! Am I wrong? Then I'll give Master Ge a good talk. ”

looked at Ge Shiyang, who was full of stubbornness. There was also Tiffany, who was complaining, Yang Meng turned over and dismounted, looking at Dianchi and slowly began to pick on Ge Shiyang.

"Master Ge, since you came to Yunnan, I have given you a lot of things, right? I have explained to you a great deal about the translation of books, the establishment of the new army, the training of the new army, the casting of artillery, the development of forts, the preparation of iron works, the improvement of mines, the increase of salt production, and so on, as well as the most important structure of science and education.

You didn't have much to do in translating books, but I put a lot of effort into the formation of the new army, and I did more to train the two mercenaries of the new army than you, casting artillery, developing forts, improving mines, and increasing the output of the salt industry. And the most important teaching, so far there is no harvest of a word.

And you came to Yunnan. The biggest thing I did was to prepare for the construction of the iron plant, which took more than half a year, is what I said true? ”

Yang Meng's slow speech put a lot of pressure on Ge Shiyang, a project is a big mountain, Ge Shiyang's stubborn face was full of helplessness, and his figure was a little aggrieved.

"What the lord said is very accurate, and now it seems that I did not do well."

This is Ge Shiyang's advantages, right is right, wrong is wrong, he doesn't want other people, and he will cover up if something goes wrong, which is also the key point for Yang Meng to reuse Ge Shiyang.

"It's not that you're not doing well, it's that you're not doing it right! With so many projects, you may not be able to complete them in your lifetime, so why should I leave these things to you?

Are you capable? That's not how I see it! Most of those missionaries in the Minghu Translation Library are on par with you, right? Why do you say that I use you and not them?

Loyalty! Preciseness! That's why I use you. ”

Yang Meng ignored these things in Yunnan before, the trade routes in Guangzhou, and the affairs in western Yunnan, which involved too much of his energy. His chief of staff, Cen Yuying, did not understand foreign affairs and could not command.

And Wei Wu of Minghu Academy understands a lot, but first, he has a dislike for Ge Shiyang, and second, this old traitor is secretly stumbling on himself, which delays the matter of Xishan.

Wei Wu's role in Minghu Academy has not yet been replaced, and Yunnan's foreign affairs are about to fall on Ge Shiyang's head, which is why Yang Meng beat him.

"Thank you, Lord Lord, for your appreciation, but what did I do wrong?"

It's a good thing that his lord values him, but Ge Shiyang still wants to know where he went wrong.

"You don't know how to use people! You won't use power either! You don't know how to enjoy it! ”

Yang Meng's words were simple and direct, but Ge Shiyang was still confused when he heard it, he didn't know the relationship between building a factory and power and enjoyment.

"My lord, I really don't have much skill in employing people, but what does power and enjoyment have to do with what I want to do?"

Breaking the casserole and asking in the end, Ge Shiyang also had a stubborn temper, and he had to see his mistakes in dealing with these things.

"If I were you, I would eat, drink and have fun in Xishan, watch my subordinates do things, and I would definitely be much more efficient than you.

The transport team, the mines, the charcoal factory, the iron factory, the steel factory, the copper factory, the cannon foundry, the ordnance factory, the battery research institute, the salt industry research institute, the mining research institute, I will assign all the things in Xishan, and these are the departments that I have roughly divided.

I will give them tasks for a week or a month to do a certain job, I don't care how they do it, I just look at the results of their work.

If they succeed, they will continue to arrange other jobs. If you fail, you have to find out the problem and solve it until you succeed, and I just watch them do things, if I understand, I will guide them, I don't understand and I won't care, I only look at the results.

Look at what you've done in West Hill? Do everything yourself, make yourself tired, but what have you done? An iron mill was built in half a year. If I sit in the West Mountain. The artillery factory and salt works may have been put into production.

Listened to these. Do you still think you're doing the right thing yourself? Master Ge! I handed over Xishan to you, giving you power, you can enjoy the fruits of power, but what have you done in the past six months?

Ironworks? If I bring in engineers from the Qiji Iron Works from Guangzhou, in two or three months, they will be able to build a bigger scale than the Xishan Iron Works, right? ”

After Yang Meng finished talking about these things, he looked at Ge Shiyang and then at Tiffany. Ge Shiyang was okay, with a guilty face, but Tiffany's expression made Yang Meng a little embarrassed.

The complexion is ruddy and the eyes are moist, this is not good! I just promised to stay in Xishan, which doesn't seem to be a good idea.

"Lord Lord, it turns out that you are so knowledgeable, Ge Shiyang really did something wrong, and I am not capable enough in Xishan's affairs. I want to go back to Minghu Translation Library and do what I can. ”

Yang Meng's words. said that Ge Shiyang's self-confidence has dropped greatly, it seems that he is really not suitable for this job, so let's go back to Minghu Translation Library!

"You're gone, who will lead the affairs of Xishan? Could it be me? Just follow the method I told you, think about how to do things in Xishan well, I will help you during this time, and in a few months, the biggest political enemy in my life will come to Yunnan, and I will have no time at that time. ”

Click on Ge Shiyang and it will become, this position in Xishan, only Ge Shiyang is the most suitable.

"I ......"

"The third child, the craftsmen have gathered, you can go over and take a look!"

Ge Shiyang still wants to resign! But he was interrupted by Pan Gui, and he didn't know what to do about the suspension of Xishan Iron Works, and he still had a bright smile on his face.

"Brother Gui, you personally go to Minghu Academy and tell Mr. Wei that he will select a group of students who are proficient in skills to come over, and he must get things done today. And let Mr. Wei, choose a master who is proficient in miscellaneous studies, and bring it to Xishan together, I will be useful.

Tell Mr. Wei that these people are going to study the art of cannon casting, and they must choose the best of the best in the selection of candidates, and they must not be discounted in the slightest. ”

Wei Wu, an old traitor, wants to contain himself in foreign affairs, it seems that Xishan is going to become a family of its own, otherwise Wei Wu will definitely do something. Whether it is for Yunnan or the Qing Dynasty, it is a good thing, and if he thinks about it, Wei Wu will fall into this pit.

"How many people to choose? Mr. Wei asked, and I had an answer. Is there only a selection of students? ”

Pan Gui has also made great progress in the past six months, although his eldest brother, although his body is a little thin, but his brain is not thin, but he has not taken the right path in the past!

"How many to choose, this matter is important, whether it is a student or a gentleman, as long as you are proficient in miscellaneous studies, you can get them all for me.

Brother Gui, there is one more thing, you have also done this scholar, isn't it time to go out and experience it? ”

Looking at Pan Gui, Yang Meng suddenly found that this was also a flaw in himself, if the second brother knew that he had married Lixiangyuan, would Lin Zexu know about it, and what could he think of?

"Experience? Didn't the one in my family let me follow you? Whether you are an official or a businessman in Yunnan, it is better to be by your side, if I leave, my old man will definitely be furious. ”

Pan Gui doesn't want Yang Meng to have a lot of autonomy, everything in the Pan family is Pan Shicheng's dictatorship.

"Go to the sea and do business with Western countries, I don't know if my father-in-law can agree to this, but it's a good place, you get a letter to ask first, and if you have time recently, you can learn foreign language with Master Ge!"

If Xishan wants to develop, it is inseparable from Western technology, whether it is Patrick father and son, or Yang Fuliang, they are not the best candidates. Patrick's father and son are outsiders, while Yang Fuliang is a bandit, and Pan Gui, the son of a commercial family, is the best candidate for maritime trade.

"Really? When I came back from Yiliang, I will do this immediately, and I will cross the seven seas! Whoever doesn't want to be a bastard! ”

Pan Guixing rushed away, Yang glanced at Ge Shiyang and Tiffany, Ge Shiyang is okay, the kung fu of these few words, the confidence has come back a lot, but that Tiffany, how do you look like a hungry wolf, staring at herself, troublesome!

"Let's go! Master Ge, let's go and treat it together, the craftsmen of Xishan, I will send silver, and you will read your name, this is to show your status in Xishan, cheer up.

Mrs. Tiffany's too! ”

Now it's the key to reviving Ge Shiyang's confidence, and Tiffany & Co. let it be! It's nothing more than something you love me, it's too artificial and not beautiful.

Yang Meng and Ge Shiyang walked in front, and Tiffany led Yang Meng's big black horse to follow, looking at the mighty and erudite back, she was deeply intoxicated.

After nearly two years of development, the West Valley has also become a small town-like existence, with a scale of two or three thousand people, these are just craftsmen, in order to keep secrets, their houses are placed near the West Mountain, a place with a good environment, so that Ge Shiyang, a missionary, can manage so many people at once, it is really Yang Meng's mistake.

After rewarding these craftsmen, he should also point to Master Ge, otherwise a lot of manpower and material resources will be wasted in the West Valley.

"Well done guys! In two years, Xishan Iron Works has grown from scratch, you are all heroes of the Yang family, you look at this iron factory, six million catties of pig iron a year, two million catties of wrought iron, this is your credit.

The Qing Dynasty opened the world for the first time, and the power of a factory can top the blacksmith of a province, don't you think you are very capable? This is a great thing that you big guys have done together! Very good! In the future, we must remember this Xishan Iron Works, and everyone will work together to break the gold!

When the thing is done, the Yang family will not treat you badly, one is counted as one, the reward of ten taels of silver for one person, and ten taels of gold for those who have merit, remember! As long as you do your best, the Yang family will also be wholeheartedly devoted to you. ”

Under the leadership of the Xishan swordsmen, regardless of China and the West, all the craftsmen are kneeling to thank them. Ten taels of silver is definitely a lot of money for craftsmen.

"For the Xishan Iron Works, everyone is tired, starting today, ten days off, the daughter-in-law who should marry the daughter-in-law, the family who should make the child go home and make the child, everyone here in Xishan is doing their best, and don't forget the good land of their own house!"

Yang Meng's words caused laughter from the audience, the third master of the Yang family is benevolent and righteous, and he is sympathetic to the Yang family! And Tiffany, who followed behind Yang Meng, was a mess to listen to, and under Ge Shiyang's explanation, she understood some Qing sayings with shyness.

"You are doing well, but Yunnan has suffered another disaster this year, and many people can't eat! When you go back, you're done with your work, and don't forget your peers!

It is said that peers are enemies, but not here in the third master, the big guys worked together to build the Xishan Iron Works, and in the future, the third master will also build Beishan, Nanshan, and Dongshan, and there are a lot of manpower needed.

After you go back, think about the famous peers in all parts of Yunnan, and the big guys should help each other and tide over the difficulties together during the famine. Yang Yang our craftsmen's mind, the world is not good, everyone must take the Xishan knife hand when they go out, and it is not wrong to be killed by gangsters on the road.

That's all the third master said, pack up the livelihood under his hands, and come up to receive the reward! (To be continued......)
