The affairs of Jinzhou, Zhu Gaochi entrusted to Jin Zhong, and Jin Zhong himself has a lot of affairs, and he is even more busy.

In October, the autumn harvest is over, there is no war outside, there is no internal turmoil, and this year is a good year in the north.

After all, with the progress of agricultural technology for thousands of years, today, as long as there is a stable environment, food production is not a problem, the people have full stomachs, there is nothing to do when it gets dark, and every family is closed.

The plan of 100 factories of China Heavy Industry is also being carried out step by step.

Paper mills, printing mills, ink factories, iron pipe factories, etc., many of which are factories born based on the needs of China Heavy Industry.

For example, China Heavy Industries has a huge amount of paper, so there is an application for the establishment of a paper mill.

A large number of records and account books in each workshop, etc., the demand for ink, all have ink factories, most of them are based on this principle.

Kerosene factories, lime factories, glass factories, brick factories are another demand.

The small ones may be a dozen or even a few people, the large ones are only a few dozen, and only a few have exceeded a hundred workers.

In the face of the increase in factories, things are complicated.

Zhu Gaochi can't play alone.

"Jingle bells."

A voice rang out from the office, and the closest place to the outer clerk's room was a young clerk, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

After hearing the bell, he quickly got up and knocked on the wooden door, until the sound of "please come in" came from inside, and he gently pushed the door and walked in.

"Little prince, what do you command?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded at the chair in front of the desk, "You sit first." ”

The young man was a little puzzled, hesitated, and finally sat down, bowing his head and not speaking, looking very cautious.

"Li Bosheng, it's been three months since you came to the clerical room." Zhu Gaochi put down his pen, looked up and saw the appearance of the young man, and said gently.

Li Bosheng is from Peng Chengwei.

There is no Pengcheng in Beiping, Pengchengwei is the guard station transferred from the south when Xu Da recovered the northern border, as the name suggests, you can know where it came from from the name, and has been stationed in Beiping Mansion for many years.

Li Bosheng's father is Peng Chengwei's Wei Si, and he himself is a housekeeper, and doing some chores in the Wei Institute can be regarded as a learning experience.

The more promising Sheren will be transferred to Yingtianfu, work and study in the imperial court, and have the opportunity to contact the saints.

The worst is to enter the provincial capital to learn to do chores, and the worst is to stay in their own guards.

Due to historical reasons, most of the people in Beiping are from the Yanshan system, and Peng Chengwei was brought to Beiping by Xu Da.

Xu Da is cautious and will not appoint private individuals, in other words, he is not private to the public, and he does not engage in the same way as a mountain, so Peng Chengwei and Xu Da do not have a close personal relationship.

Especially after Xu Da's death, Peng Chengwei's father didn't love his mother in Beiping, so Li Bo couldn't get promoted to the capital, the number of places was limited, and he had already been carved up.

As the control over the three guards of Yanshan and the two guards of Miyun was strengthened, Zhu Gaochi's attention began to shift to the rest of the guards.

One of his methods was to recruit talented shepherds from the rest of the guard into his clerical room.

Although the routine is old, it is easy to use, and it does play a great role.

Peng Chengwei, Tongzhou Wei and others are getting closer and closer to the palace, as if they have found a backer, especially the situation in the past two years, which has this demand.

"How do you feel about China Heavy Industries?" Zhu Gaochi's tone was gentle.

Li Bosheng didn't dare to despise the little prince with his age.

The little prince can argue with the prince and wrestle his wrists, as well as the talent of governance in Beiping, which is even more unbelievable, and the name of benevolence of the people has already had a layer of brilliance.

"China Heavy Industry is very large, and its influence in the private sector is no less than that of the government, and China Heavy Industry and military households are even more intertwined, which can be said to be an extraordinary political force in the northern parallel province."

Li Bosheng has been cultivated in the factory for three months, plus he is talented and has been cultivated since he was a child, so he naturally has a high vision, which is more appropriate.

Zhu Gaochi showed a satisfied smile, "Are you willing to join China Heavy Industries?" ”

Hearing this inquiry, Li Bosheng couldn't help but breathe more.

He is now working in China Heavy Industry, but the little prince still asks so, and the meaning contained in it makes him feel excited.

The more important it is, the more you have to calm down, thinking of his father's admonition since childhood, Li Bosheng tried to stay calm.

"Peng Chengwei is the prince's soldiers, and the little prince is also the lord, where the little prince asks his subordinates to go, his subordinates will go."

"Hahaha." Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing.

Wang Chen's theory is still very marketable.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the system of real power of the vassal kings was only implemented for more than 20 years, and because the time was too short, not many words were retained.

However, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, many vassal generals regarded the vassal king as their master.

It is necessary to know that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written during this period, and a lot of war, humanities, and social customs were borrowed from the early Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi restrained his smile and said seriously: "Let's go do a survey." ”

"Research?"

Li Bosheng was a little puzzled.

Zhu Gaochi explained: "As you said, China Heavy Industry has a large volume, and it has expanded rapidly this year. ”

"There are more factories, and they are also a little scattered."

"In order to promote the operation of the group and integrate the forces, we need to have a comprehensive understanding of each factory, not only from the report, but also from the person, who can go deep into it."

"Finally, through the understanding of each factory, a complete report can be obtained, so as to deeply optimize each factory, and finally form a joint force to achieve large-scale group production operations."

Li Bosheng understood a little, but he didn't seem to understand very much, his eyes were not very sure, and he didn't dare to make a guarantee.

Zhu Gaochi comforted: "New things, there are no old precedents to follow, everything has to be explored, we have confidence in you." ”

When Li Bosheng heard this, he no longer hesitated, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he cheered up and said, "May I ask the little prince, which factory to start with?" ”

"Start with the mines."

Zhu Gaochi said: "The current production mode of the mining area, the transportation and operation of the railway, and then the situation of the honeycomb coal industry in the state capitals. ”

"Then in the Miyun Iron Mine, the Iron Factory, the Steam Engine Factory, and gradually to the small factory below. The task is not small, you can find a few suitable people from the factory to help you. ”

Li Bosheng understood a little and did not continue to ask.

Where there are so many detailed methods for things, you always have to do it yourself, and the style of the military is unobstructed.

Li Bosheng was very decisive in finding a few people from the factory area.

The identity of the people can be exposed to culture, family education, military, and educational environment, and the better environment is inevitably easier to achieve than ordinary people.

Even in the late Ming Dynasty, many famous ministers were also from military households, such as Zhang Juzheng.

Several people were very interested, joined Li Bosheng's group, and started a comprehensive investigation of China Heavy Industry.

Five miles outside the city of Baoding, it is a simple railway.

"Click, click."

Two extra-long carriages, driven by four horses running in front, drove a carriage full of coal, the carriage was rectangular, several times longer than an ordinary two-wheeled carriage.

The front of the car was wide, and two coachmen sat on it, and there were two assistants at the back of the carriage to assist the master in driving the six horses and braking the railway carriage.

A person who lifts a hundred pounds of something will feel very difficult, but a car that can be pushed to release the handbrake can be easily pushed by weighing three thousand pounds.

In a traditional two-wheeled carriage, the horses need to share the weight, so the carrying capacity is about hundreds of catties.

The four-wheeled carriage, after many explorations, on the roads of Beiping, the carrying capacity of dirt roads is 1,200 catties.

On a rammed gravel road, the carrying capacity is four thousand catties, that is, two tons.

On the railway, the weakening of friction greatly saves the pulling force of the horse, so that a horse can pull a load weighing up to eight tons.

This two-car carriage carried 35 tons of coal, which was made into honeycomb coal by the honeycomb coal workshop, enough for about 40 families in the city for a year.

"Dangdangdang."

The gong on the carriage struck rapidly.

Unlike ordinary railway carriages, railway carriages that carry coal are difficult to brake because of their huge load capacity, so it is difficult to stop for a short time and cannot face sudden situations on the railway.

In order to warn passers-by who broke into the railway, it was replaced with a louder gong to remind people from afar.

The journey was smooth, and after the rails were changed to a figure-7 shape, they would no longer get stuck in the obstacles in the stones, which greatly strengthened the transportation safety of the railway carriages.

At the Baoding Fu Station, the powerful coachman began to gradually reduce the speed of the horse after two miles, and when the distance was one mile, the apprentices let their hands press down the handbrake of the carriage.

In this process, the driver has to control the horse to fit and brake, and it is easy to hurt the horse if the operation is not good.

From the coal yard in Xishan, Beiping, to Baoding Station, the total length is more than 300 miles, and it is also the end point of this carriage.

Through the sub-railway, the carriage stops in a vacant place.

The staff at the station accepted the list handed over by the driver and sent someone to check the weight.

Workers poke into the coal with a drill, in fact, the inspection is not careful, there are many loopholes, but the station is not afraid of drilling holes in the mining area.

Even if it is stamped, as long as it is found that something is wrong in the follow-up, a sentence can make the people in the mining area rush to solve the problem.

It is not because the station is stronger than the mining area, but because of the advantages brought by Party A.

In the future, whether to take the railway line, as long as it is inseparable from railway transportation, no mining area dares to drill the hole of the station.

Another railway wagon carrying coal has been parked here, and more than a dozen two-wheeled vehicles are queuing up to fetch coal.

Two-wheeled trailers are much lower than railroad carriages, and people stand on the carriages and use shovels to lift lumps of coal into the two-wheeled trailers from a high place.

As a piece of coal from a spade fell into the two-wheeled trailer, a thick lump of coal piled up on the ground.

After the two-wheeled trailer is shipped, the driver receives the list from the station, signs it, and can leave the station.

The station will settle according to the list and the honeycomb coal workshop, and then settle the coal money, and then settle through the list and the mining area.

"The biggest problem is the silver." The stationmaster of the station complained to Li Bosheng.
