Chapter 72 Coke Refinery
It is difficult for ordinary people to convince Zhu Di, and Zhu Di cannot be willing to take risks to support at such a sensitive time.
Zhu Gaochi didn't feel that his wrist could hide from Zhu Di.
The ancients have already reached the pinnacle of human nature.
But who made himself his eldest son and his heir, this is his greatest advantage.
The steam engine factory is a technical factory, and it must be dominated by craftsmen, and the steam engine is the mother of industry, because the steam engine is not just a machine.
In the hands of craftsmen, in order to become the driving force of all walks of life, it is necessary to continuously improve and innovate for a long time, so it is necessary to have a more generous environment.
But the new plant is different.
The coke refinery of China Heavy Industry will be Zhu Gaochi's second plant.
If you don't decide to find a craftsman.
The household registration system of the Ming Dynasty allowed craftsmen from all walks of life to be registered in the government, and it was not difficult for officials to recommend several powerful craftsmen as Zhu Gaochi.
Just like the previous Wansan, it was recommended by the official office of the Iron Smelting Institute.
Unlike when he first started his business, now that Zhu Gaochi is famous, the officials know that the eldest prince is more and more valued by King Yan, and they dare not be contemptuous.
And the good reputation of the little nobleman in Beiping Mansion is getting higher and higher in the hearts of the people, and people are not afraid of him.
Even because of the patent law and the spread of the eighth-level third-class craftsman system, many craftsmen are looking forward to becoming the next Wansan.
Zhang Dehui, Xu Ning, Zhou Shifeng, and officials of the Iron Smelting Institute gathered in a conference room for a meeting.
Su Guan led several officials, led by the clerk, into the Zhonghua Heavy Factory, and on the door of a room, a piece of iron sheet for the conference room was nailed.
"Conference room." Su Guan subconsciously read it again, and looked at his colleagues and smiled. "Since the eldest prince is so serious, we can't let him down."
"As it should be."
The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the eldest prince had always been convenient for iron smelting, so Su Guan was naturally willing to help the eldest prince.
No matter what new things the eldest prince has next, as long as it is not too difficult to smelt iron, Su Guan will not refuse.
After everyone entered the conference room, they looked at each other curiously.
A long solid wood table with a dazzling polished light, corresponding to the position of each chair, has already placed porcelain cups.
"Ambassador Su and everyone appreciate the light, making the China Heavy Factory shine." Zhu Gaochi smiled brightly.
"The eldest prince is called, and we will not dare to resign."
"You may be seated."
"Someone, tea."
The seats were simple and clear, with Zhu Gaochi and the people of China Heavy Industry sitting on the left, and the people from the Iron Smelting Institute sitting on the right.
Two men entered, one of whom had only half a palm and two fingers left in his left hand, and the other was limping, each pouring tea from the teacup on the table.
Su Guan showed an inquiring look, Zhu Gaochi nodded, Su Guan immediately gave a thumbs up, everything was self-evident.
Zhu Gaochi cleared his throat and went straight to the point.
"I invite you to come today because we want to open a new factory, and only Daxing has the best location around Beiping, and only Northeast Tai Village is the best place to look at Daxing."
"Our two families are really a family, many workers have served in the iron smelting institute before, the family does not speak two words, we want the iron smelting institute to share a large piece of land to China Heavy Industry."
Hearing that the eldest prince was going to divide the land again, a look of embarrassment appeared on everyone's faces.
On the way to Su Guan, he thought about it, what does the eldest prince need to smelt.
All of the iron smelting, China Heavy Industries has it.
China Heavy Industry has a good salary, drought and flood to ensure income, and many outstanding craftsmen took the initiative to go to China Heavy Industry.
Does it have any impact on iron smelting? Of course.
However, according to Su Guan's news, the imperial court has already begun to discuss whether to completely ban the official railway, and in the future, only the civil railway will be taxed in kind.
This new news made Su Guan sigh greatly.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, the official railway inherited the previous dynasty, and the sage let go of the civil railway. It has only been more than 20 years, and the official railway has been completely defeated in front of the people's railway, and there is no one in ten.
But he really didn't guard against the people at all, and let the iron heavy weapon be controlled by the people, Su Guan, who was more than forty years old, experienced two dynasties, and some couldn't keep up with the development of the Ming Dynasty.
The civil railway is definitely superior to the official railway, and the facts are in front of you, but the imperial court's move can be described as indescribable.
Su Guan didn't want to continue to think about the difference between the past and the present, and his energy was already focused on his future.
I have to jump out of the iron smelting station as soon as possible before the court makes a decision, otherwise when the dust settles in the court, I am afraid that there will be no chance at all, and I can only stop at the iron smelting station in my later years.
Really.
Su Guan's prediction was right, Zhu Gaochi was going to ask for the land next, and it seems that the eldest prince also learned the news of the imperial court, so he made such a move.
However, this matter was really wrong in Su Guan's prediction.
Zhu Gaochi is really not as well-informed as Su Guan in the imperial court, and Zhu Di knows many things, but he will not tell Zhu Gaochi everything.
However, he knew that the Ming Dynasty would soon completely abolish the official iron, which prompted the iron smelting industry of the Ming Dynasty to reach the peak of history, which was unparalleled in the world.
Until the Qing Dynasty, under various government decrees, this provision must have been banned.
As a result, the development of the iron-smelting industry fell, not only inferior to the Ming Dynasty, but also the scale of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, in Zhu Gaochi's opinion, the best geographical location occupied by iron smelting really belongs to occupying the pit and not, so it is better to give it to Zhu Gaochi.
Moreover, the iron smelting station will become an empty shell in the future, so there is no need to waste too much effort to maintain it.
"It's easy to say." Su Guan suddenly relented, the people in the iron smelting station were shocked, and Shangguan was too shameless.
In order to pat the nobles' sycophants, he didn't even pay attention to the court system, aren't he afraid that the imperial history will be impeached after he knows about it.
The nobles are not afraid of impeachment, can you Su Guan afford the consequences?
"Envoy Su's help, let's keep it in mind." Zhu Gaochi appreciated.
Although he has no real power, he has his own Lao Tzu.
There is also a long history of the palace, if that day comes, the iron smelting institute will completely decline, and he can open his mouth, which can be regarded as a return to Su Guan.
is just such a thing that in the eyes of outsiders, it is really a fantasy, and it is easy and simple to implement.
There was no bubble at all, and the factory building of the Iron Smelting Institute was handed over to the China Heavy Factory, and only the official office was retained.
"Xu Ning, the transformation of the factory is entrusted to you, you have to do it quickly and steadily." Zhu Gaochi knew that Xu Ning would have difficulties.
But if there is no difficulty, how can he show his ability? Why did he hand over the engineering team to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning happily agreed, and promised: "I will not disappoint the eldest prince." ”
"We never doubt your promise." Zhu Gaochi was not as tall as Xu Ning, so he reached out and patted Xu Ning's back.
"Work hard, work hard, work hard." gave three sentences of expectation.
The engineering team is recruited.
Three major projects, several small projects, and the construction of four improvised railroad tracks, half of which were projects of China Heavy Industries, and a lot of the money earned was scattered.
