Chapter 55: The Tsundere Old Man.

"Your Highness, after a day of publicity, three thousand seven hundred and sixty people have signed the contract."

"There are many others who are willing, but they are still under consideration, and it is estimated that in the next few days, tens of thousands of people will soon be recruited."

Yue Wangfu, Zhu Gaoyu's study.

Zhang An, the son of Uncle Zhang, flipped through the notebook in his hand while quickly reporting the results of today's recruitment.

Zhu Gaoyu, who was lying on the desk and struggling to write, nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, the placement must be done well, and the management must also be strictly selected, once there is a problem and the hearts and minds are lost, the team will not be easy to bring."

"Yes, the villain will pay strict attention to this aspect."

Zhang An came last night.

Zhu Gaoyu originally thought that the other party was going to take over the work of the Guogong Mansion, and it would take at least a few days.

Zhang Yue's sister-in-law, who is also Zhang Fu's wife, learned that her brother-in-law was going to use someone, so she directly took over the affairs of the Guogong Mansion and asked Zhang An to rush over.

Zhu Gaoyu talked with him and thought it was very good, so he handed over the matter of the craftsman camp to Zhang An.

Zhang An is only in charge of logistics and personnel arrangement, and in terms of technology, there is the chief engineer of the craftsman battalion, and Lu Fei, who claims to be a descendant of Lu Ban, is in charge.

"Anything else?"

Zhu Gaoyu, who was writing the plan for the Great Ceremony of the Nations, saw that Zhang An, who had finished the report, had not left, and glanced at him suspiciously.

"The villain has gone to the Ministry of Industry." Zhang An was a little worried: "The people from the Ministry of Industry said that they really couldn't spare the manpower to build the craftsman camp, so let us wait for half a year." ”

"Playing the piano indiscriminately, waiting for half a year the daylily is cold, half a year... What else do I want them to do in half a year? Build a cemetery for me. ”

When he heard that he would have to wait for half a year, Zhu Gaoyu threw the brush on the ground with some anger.

"The villain is ineffective, please punish His Highness."

Zhang An was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"It's not your fault." Zhu Gaoyu waved his hand.

After waiting for the other party to get up, Zhu Gaoyu turned around the desk with his hands behind his back.

In terms of teachers and engineers, Lu Fei has already taken over.

The other party has written letters with all his might, inviting his like-minded friends to come over.

In terms of personnel training, Lu Fei and others are also compiling teaching materials.

The artisan camp uses assembly line work, except for confidential cutting-edge technical work, other items are processed, and the workers are responsible for fixed work, and the training is very fast.

Take, for example, the manufacture of flintlock pistols.

In addition to the barrel and spring, which require the help of engineers, other accessories can be manufactured in uniform size and handed over to ordinary workers.

With such a simple job, even if the workers don't know how to read, they can almost get to work after about a month of training.

However, everything went well, but there was a problem with the construction of the factory camp.

Without the factory camp, Zhu Gaoyu would not have been able to let the workers work in the open space.

Not to mention the rain and wind, just this hot day can kill people.

The construction site has been chosen, and now it is time to start construction.

However, there is no manpower on the Ministry of Industry, and there are no construction personnel, so this artisan battalion is still a fart.

"Hey, yes, why don't you look for them."

While thinking in circles, Zhu Gaoyu inadvertently skimmed the table, the requirements of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in terms of guns.

Today at the old man's place, the military generals who have seen the new weapons are itching.

As soon as I got off the court, a few old men from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies ran over and asked when they could receive the weapons.

Zhu Gaoyu couldn't cry or laugh, his factory camp had not yet been built, and the workers were still being recruited, so these old guys were in a hurry to ask for things.

Zhu Gaoyu talked for a long time before coaxing these old guys back.

"This first batch of weapons was created for you, although there is an idea of experimenting with you, but it is also to help you increase your strength. Now I need help, and it's a bit unreasonable for you to come and help. ”

Zhu Gaoyu looked at the official letter from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You immediately go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and tell those old men that if you want to get weapons as soon as possible, okay, let them send their soldiers to come and help us build a camp."

"I told them that if the camp can be built within a month, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed, I will give them an ivory flintlock pistol each when the goods are delivered."

Let the soldiers come and set up camps?

Zhang An was a little suspicious, those Qiu Ba, in addition to fighting, would they also build houses?

Besides, even if it will, without His Majesty's will, will those people dare to move?

Although he was a little uneasy, Zhu Gaoyu had already ordered, and Zhang An could only be ordered to retreat and go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to inform him.

As for whether the people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies dare to take this job, he doesn't know.

"Workers are illiterate after all, and they need to find some intellectuals."

Industrial development cannot rely only on illiterate ordinary workers, but middle and senior workers still need literate people.

Moreover, these middle and high-level personnel must also be monitored, otherwise once the secrets are leaked, it will be a huge loss to the imperial court and Zhu Gaoyu.

Therefore, the personnel of the imperial court can't ask for it, in addition to feeling that they are unreliable, there is no guarantee that they have no intention of leaking secrets in their daily lives.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Gaoyu gradually had a clue and thought of where to go to engage in this group of cultural people.

"Dong'er, tell the princess, don't cook my food tonight, I'll go to the palace."

Picking up the statute of the Great Ceremony of Nations, Zhu Gaoyu gave an order to Dong'er who was serving at any time next to him, and walked out of the palace quickly and headed for the palace.

"Yo, isn't this your little majesty, your old man is so busy, why do you have time to come here with my old man."

Zhu Gaoyu arrived at the palace just in time for dinner.

The old man, who was biting into the steamed bun and the onion barbecue, glanced at Zhu Gaoyu, who was sitting unceremoniously opposite and asked Jasper for porridge, and said in a strange way.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't care, put the statute of the Great Ceremony of All Nations on the old man's desk, took the porridge bowl handed over by Biyu, and snorted and made a big bowl of porridge.

How could he not hear the meaning of this old man's words, obviously blaming him for overstepping the level and transferring Jinyiwei.

Good fellow, even the title of Little Majesty came out, if it was a few days late, this old man didn't know what unpleasant things he would say?

Picking up a steamed bun and sandwiching a little barbecue, Zhu Gaoyu took a bite and said: "Isn't there something to beg you, and thank you for the new title given by the old man, I will hang up the flag when I go back." ”

"Eat honestly!"

Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more boundless, Queen Xu put down her chopsticks and glanced at the two.

The old man, who was almost not up in one breath by Zhu Gaoyu's words, was just about to get angry, but the daughter-in-law's glance made him hold back the dirty words that he was about to speak.

Snorted lightly and muttered, "You just get used to him!" I took two steamed buns, took the plate of onions and barbecued meat, and ran to the desk to read the notebook.

drank another bowl of porridge, picked up a barbecue bun, and peeled off the onions inside, Zhu Gaoyu came to the old man's side while eating.

"Dad, let's discuss something!"

The old man raised his eyelids, "Get out!" ”

"Alas!"

Zhu Gaoyu replied and replied, "You eat first, and then we will discuss it slowly after eating." ”

The old man's face darkened, and he picked up the bun and was about to smash it.

But as soon as he lifted it, he noticed the eyes of Empress Xu, snorted, stuffed the small half bun into his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "We are the emperor." ”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was deeply attracted by a sentence in the statute of the Great Ceremony of Nations in his hand, and couldn't help but read it out.

"The people of this prosperous world can speak, and the emperor and the doctor say that it is useless!"
