Chapter 97: Reward and Punishment

This kind of small money is indeed nothing to Hu Changan now.

I'm afraid that the money he earns in a day now is more than what these craftsmen make in a month combined.

What's more, if the efficiency of the Ministry of Industry and Craft's workshop can be improved, then the money will still be turned into a reward and returned to Hu Changan's pocket.

Xue Xiang looked at Hu Changan's disapproving look, and could only sigh that Qian Duo was willful.

Under Hu Changan's instigation, these workers even forgot the hatred of being overturned, rolled up their sleeves one by one, and went to work as soon as they were ready.

But at this time, a sound stopped the footsteps of the group of workers.

It was the boss of this group of workers, Wang Qiang, who spoke.

"Hu Shilang, can you guarantee that as long as we work, you will give money?"

"Anyone can talk big, but not everyone can pay for real money."

To say that this Wang Qiang is also a person with some appeal.

He has been the child king of the village since he was a child, and when he grows up, he dominates the party and becomes a well-known gangster in the village.

Originally, with Wang Qiang's iron-smelting level, it was basically impossible to be selected into the Ministry of Industry.

But who told him to have a rather generous father, after a bribe, plus his ancestors have been blacksmiths for generations, Wang Qiang was chosen in such a daze.

Of course, after being chosen, it is impossible to do business.

came to the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Qiang immediately gave full play to his true character as a gangster, and pulled up many people to be lazy and slippery together.

It can be said that most of the unhealthy tendencies in the blacksmith workshop of the Ministry of Industry were brought out by him.

When the other craftsmen heard Wang Qiang's words, they immediately hesitated.

That's right, these officials are the best at talking, if he doesn't fulfill his promise, what should he do?

At that moment, there was a group of people who lowered their rolled up sleeves.

Seeing this, Wang Qiang pursued the victory and made persistent efforts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the above knows that our Iron Weapons Department can only produce sixty knives per month, but if everyone works hard, then won't the above know our true level?"

"At that time, the task of each month will not be as simple as sixty knives!"

"You have to be a visionary! Don't be fooled by this new hairy boy! ”

Suddenly, more people retracted from their tentative steps.

When Hu Changan saw this, he was about to laugh angrily.

This man is gone.

Obviously, his brain is quite good, why don't he do the right thing and put his mind on the crooked way?

Hu Changan said with a straight face: "Everyone, you came to the Ministry of Industry after layers of selection across the country, and now you are lying here eating and waiting to die, don't you feel blushing?!" ”

"I, Hu Changan, promise with an official position, as long as you are willing to work hard, the benefits will be indispensable."

"If you continue to be lazy like this, then what awaits you must be a thunder punishment!"

"I'm also an official of the imperial court, and I still have the right to suggest you on this little thing!"

"Either you work obediently now and get the money happily, or what awaits you is a severe punishment!"

Under the grace and power, some people were shaken.

There are even some people who bow their heads in shame.

Yes, they all went through a strict selection and defeated many colleagues before they were selected by the Ministry of Industry!

At that time, the oath to make the country rich and strong was still in my ears.

Look at them now? One by one, they can only be lazy to play mahjong, and they are not as good as the walking dead!

Thinking of this, they were moved.

Many workers walked out from behind the overturned mahjong table with their heads down, rolled up their sleeves and joined the ranks of the work.

In a few moments, a flame broke out in one of the extinguished furnaces.

However, there are still many people gathered around Wang Qiang to carry out the discooperation to the end.

Hehe, anyway, the Ministry of Industry can't fire them.

It's not that they don't work, they're just a little lazy, what can these officials do with them?

Looking at these craftsmen who did not enter the oil and salt, Hu Changan's eyes were sharp.

Hu Changan shouted at Steward Jiang: "Steward Jiang, please go get paper and pens, and write down the names of these craftsmen who refuse to work!" ”

"Yes!" When Steward Jiang heard this, he hurriedly trotted all the way away.

The craftsmen who were standing couldn't help but take a breath when they heard this.

Hey, this new waiter from the Ministry of Works, play really!

At the moment, two more craftsmen joined the work.

However, several people led by Wang Qiang still resolutely disobeyed.

They don't believe that this new kid can do anything to cure them old scoundrels.

After a while, Steward Jiang took the banknotes according to his words and wrote down the names of these people in turn.

Seeing that the name was written, Hu Changan waved his sleeves and left the ironware workshop.

And those old fritters also re-set up the mahjong table and continued to play mahjong.

Xue Xiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, looked at Hu Changan's move, and his heart was both surprised and worried.

Happily, Hu Changan is a practical person!

Hu Changan came to the Ministry of Industry, maybe he can really bring a different look to the Ministry of Industry!

What worries Hu Changan is that he will offend His Majesty by writing this time.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang cares about the people the most.

In the face of corrupt officials, Zhu Yuanzhang showed no mercy.

But in the face of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang always raised the board high and put it down gently.

Xue Xiang did not report this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang has never wanted to care about such trivial matters.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, as long as the weapons and equipment of the defenders in Yingtian City are sufficient, it will not be a big problem.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded Xue Xiang a few words at that time, telling him not to report nonsense.

On the way, Xue Xiang was worried and told Hu Changan about his worries.

But Hu Changan did not panic at all.

jokes, Zhu Yuanzhang can't listen to it, isn't there still a prince Zhu Biao.

Now Hu Changan is still one of the prince's staff, and he has to go to the East Palace on time every afternoon to report.

Hu Changan believes that Zhu Biao can make a decision on this little thing.

......

In the afternoon, Hu Changan specially went to the prince's mansion early.

Coincidentally, Zhu Biao was in the East Palace.

Seeing Hu Changan; came, Zhu Biao hurriedly and enthusiastically introduced Hu Changan to the East Palace.

This is a strange man who even my father is full of praise!

As the crown prince, he can't snub Hu Changan.

After a while, the tea arrived.

Hu Changan took a sip of tea and said slowly to Zhu Biao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister went to the Ministry of Industry today and found a big problem. ”

"The workers in those government-run workshops are not active at all!"

"The minister thinks that only with rewards and punishments can these craftsmen work seriously."

"The minister wants to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a handwritten letter, so that the minister can justifiably reward and punish the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry."
