Chapter 471: A step across the ages

"For me, your kneeling and qiē before have passed. If you still don't understand this, then I say this, the world is very big, and you can't earn enough money alone. Only when more people join in, everyone makes the cake bigger, and then divides the cake, so that more money can be made. ”

"Don't you understand the cake? Hey, this, a kind of Taixi's pasta, almost like this, the Shen family and the Zhang family, if there is no factor from me, it is more likely that they will lose in the competition, and this is their own infighting. You might as well join hands and go together to earn the money of foreign devils. I plan to set up a Chinese silk weaving association, unite, unify the pricing power, in the future, this silk, we say what price to sell, then what price. Not only silk has to do this, but everything that is unique to the country has to do this. Silk, porcelain, rhubarb, tea, these things must not only be unified, but also have to prevent foreign devils from stealing our craftsmanship. ……。 ”

Zhou Xiuying in the fog left, Chen Xie watched her leave with a smile, and returned to the study, where a resentful Ye Xianyun came out, looking at Chen Xie with a sad gaze and said, "What, are you in love with her?" A woman in her thirties, she is old, and you are not a picky eater. ”

When a woman commits two crimes, there are two main ways to deal with it, one is to avoid it, and the other is to suppress it. Chen Xie decided to avoid it at first, and changed the subject: "How is the installation of the machine?" This new machine, in addition to being a little more noisy and noisy, is much more efficient than the water conservancy loom. ”

"I'm a year younger than her!" Ye Xianyun was unmoved. looked at Chen Xie with a dead gaze, and he didn't let go without explaining it. Chen Xie looked at her helplessly and said, "You just don't clean up." "I have had a lot of contact, although Ye Xianyun knows that this thing is a bad star on the battlefield, in fact, he is still a very gentle person in private, especially his acquaintances.

"Then you're going to clean me up!" Ye Xianyun was not intimidated, but raised his chin slightly and proudly provoked. Chen Xie stretched out his hand, picked her up and walked inside, and suddenly was attacked like this, Ye Xianyun was stunned at first. Then his face was flushed. Biting his lip and not speaking, when he was pressed on the desk and lifted his skirt, he was confused.

The husband of the Zhang family is a rabbit, and Ye Xianyun has not had the experience of being a woman a few times. When the raw ones are squeezed out. There is a pain of cracking. He looked back at him complainingly and said, "It hurts!" "The pleading has an effect, and the action is not so violent.

Under the strong sense of humiliation brought by this posture, he gradually entered the state. The feeling of flying through the clouds was fatal, and Champa shoved it into his mouth and let out a whimper. Soon the woman was like a noodle in the water, tossing and turning casually, and when she stepped into the far end, it was dark in front of her eyes and she was in shock.

The new factory was selected outside the city of Suzhou, and the movement of the steam engine was too big. Although no one dares to say anything about disturbing the people, it is too lacking in morality. Chen Xie disdained it, and said that the land outside the city was cheap, so people bought a suitable piece of land outside the city, and after cleaning and leveling, a huge factory area was established.

The factory is right on the river, and a cement road connects the factory to a small wharf. Taking the waterway and transporting goods out was the most economical means in this era. When Chen Xie's carriage went out of the city and came to the factory, it was being tested at the last moment, and the sound of the roaring steam engine plus the sound of the loom and the silk reeling machine was really a very terrible thing in the factory.

Putting on earmuffs, Chen Xie walked around the workshop, and the female workers in factory uniforms were being trained, looking at Chen Xie with curious eyes. Other people's weaving uses domestic slaves, but this factory is different, binding both parties in the form of a contract. Female workers only need to work four hours a day, earn a silver dollar a month, and have four days off. At this price, it is really an absolute conscience price in this era. How many people can't eat, and this factory still manages two meals.

The only drawback is that the distance to work is a bit far, and most of the female workers choose to live in dormitories.

It's really not that Chen Xie is poor and generous, and the current salary can't be cheaper. The disadvantage of this is that it attracts hatred and causes a lot of trouble. The advantage is that the cohesion of the workers is strong, and no one wants to leave the factory. Trouble this thing, to put it mildly, even if you ask for food on the street, you will be in trouble. The ability to deal with trouble is the right thing to do.

Under the gaze of the female workers, Chen Xie finally finished inspecting the workshop, and went to the canteen to have a look, Cui Xin, this guy, has been accompanying Chen Xie, carefully introducing this and that. In the past few years, Cui Xin has been quite a rule, and his daughter-in-law is married to a daughter of a small local family. did not rely on the power in his hands to among female workers, which Chen Xie was very satisfied with.

The construction of the factory is completely different from the atmosphere of this era. The noise in the workshop is a small thing, the key is that the environment is very humid, and women who work in this environment for a long time are prone to rheumatism. Therefore, when building the factory, it was repeatedly required to be ventilated. Of course, things are very perfect, otherwise they are some kind of black-hearted capitalists.

The female workers' dormitory is a two-story tube building, and Chen Xie didn't go in, but just stood outside to take a look. This is where women live, and it's not easy to go in and look around. Looking at the distance between the dormitory and the workshop, Chen Xie was still very satisfied and patted Cui Xin's shoulder and said, "When you married your daughter-in-law, I didn't come, and the congratulatory gift didn't arrive, you didn't blame me, right?" ”

Cui Xin bared his teeth and grinned: "How can you blame the master?" If it's not the master, the slave's life will be gone. ”

Chen Xie said lightly: "Actually, I didn't recognize you as a house slave from the beginning, and I didn't have a contract document. I just want to see what I can do for you in an environment without constraints. Now it seems that you are doing a good job. From today onwards, you have a five-percent stake in this factory. Do a good job, and as the big treasurer of this company, you are going to enter the Advisory Bureau. I can't tell you now, but it won't take long for you to understand. ”

Cui Xin showed a hint of panic, bowed his head and said, "I don't want any shares, I want to be a slave to the master." ”

Chen Xie ....... Forget it, this product belongs to the cheap skin, Chen Xie was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said lightly: "Do as I say." ”

Chen Xie knows very well how much the impact of the new equipment and new technology will have on this era. This is also the reason why the cotton cloth produced in Suzhou can sweep the entire Ming Dynasty. The small-scale peasant economy has no resistance to industrial production. Their resistance is to cause sabotage, make trouble, and prevent their families from doing things. If it were an ordinary person, this factory would not be able to open at all. But Chen Xie is not an ordinary person, and after operating in Suzhou all these years, it is not an exaggeration to look like an iron bucket in the officialdom.

There are some things, knowing that they are worse for ordinary people, but Chen Xie has to do it. Compassion, in many cases, can only do bad things. Chen Xie came to Suzhou for this new factory, a new enterprise powered by a steam engine. What does this step signify, Chen Xie knows very well in his heart. In order to protect the factory, Chen Xie even brought 200 cavalry, but anyone who came to make trouble was resolutely suppressed violently.

The reason is very simple, those who don't follow me are waiting to be kicked out of this historical stage. As for impeachment or something, Chen Xie won't take it to heart at all. Even if Chongzhen is not the emperor anymore, if he changes to an emperor, Chen Xie's army is not vegetarian.

When the spring in the south of the Yangtze River was warm, the battle situation in the southwest swept like a cold wind. Because of the stupid command of Shao Chunjie, the governor of Sichuan, Zhang Ling and Qin Liangyu were defeated successively, and Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai entered Sichuan. The situation has changed, in fact, in terms of the overall picture, not much has changed. It can only be said that the inertia of history played a role. Without Li Zicheng's restraint on the officers and soldiers, Zhang Xianzhong had to run to Sichuan. The reason is very simple, there are enemies all around, the combination of the Qin army and the Guanning army in Shaanxi cannot be provoked, and the Dengzhou battalion in Henan cannot be provoked. The newly formed officers and soldiers of Huguang, as well as the cooperation of the Dengzhou battalion, are even more unprovoked. I had to run to Sichuan to catch up with a governor who didn't know much about war, and I was lucky enough to get my life done.

But as Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, the combination of Ding Qirui and Fu Zonglong, who were severely reprimanded by the holy decree, immediately went crazy. One took He Renlong and Liu Guoneng, the other took Hu Dawei and Li Guoqi, and borrowed four Jiazi battalions from Lin Ya, who was sitting in Xiangyang, one went to Hanzhong to kill him, and the other went to Yunyang to kill him.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai entered Sichuan, and it was difficult to come out. Under Chongzhen's stern reprimand, under the strict supervision of the new governor Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting sat in Hanzhong and blocked the exit of Sichuan. Since then, in the Central Plains, there has been no large-scale bands of thieves. With the acceleration of the migration of the Dengzhou camp in Henan and Huguang, the effect of relief has also come out. Zhang Xianzhong, who entered Sichuan, could only wait for the officers and soldiers to slowly mobilize and slowly encircle and suppress him. Basically, there is no way out, unless he runs to Yunnan, it seems that Yunnan is that place, the terrain is even worse, and his cavalry is in the mountains in the south, and it is difficult to have room to play.

After the opening of the Suzhou Textile Factory, Chen Xie, who secretly witnessed it, completed his trip to Suzhou. On the eve of leaving, Ye Xianyun, who was blooming with passion, no matter what she wanted, her mature and full body was still like a girl, trying to grasp a trace of her own emotions. Although he was destined to only be in the shadows, Ye Xianyun was like a moth to a fire.

The city of Nanjing is still so tall, the only change is the city walls that have fallen into disrepair, and they look more and more old.

The carriage passed through the city gate and slowly passed through the streets, and no one knew that Chen Xie was coming. This kind of thing is a private interview with Weifu, and Chen Xie is not interested in it at all. No matter what era it is, although the people like to see this kind of work, the effect is actually very average. What is really useful is the system and the law. (To be continued......)
