Chapter 056

Iron needs to be struck while it is hot, and the same is true for the production of seamless steel pipes by cold casting in shafts. As long as there is no problem with the first well, there will be no problem after the mold has been completely preheated by the molten steel.

When the production of the steel pipe in the first well was completed, these craftsmen used the fastest speed to set up the mold, and while the molten steel in the blast furnace was not finished, the second well began production again.

After the production of the four-well steel pipe, it is completely out of play, and the molten manganese steel in the blast furnace has been discharged, and if another furnace of steel is smelted, it will take the day after tomorrow.

With the successful commissioning of the blast furnace, the production of armed equipment of Cheng Shijie's Ordnance Bureau, Armagora Bureau, and Gun Bureau has been completely revitalized.

"Lord Garrison, shall we build another blast furnace?"

"One is enough!"

Cheng Shijie pointed to the blast furnace and said, "At least ten!" ”

"But we don't have that many craftsmen!"

"Then recruit the homeless!"

"The price of grain has risen now, and now it costs seven coins of silver for one stone of grain!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly and said, "We won't be short of silver." These two iron mines are golden chickens that can lay eggs! ”

Now a blast furnace can produce almost 150,000 catties of steel a month, and according to the current iron price, that is the output value of 15,000 taels of silver.

In addition, there are furniture factories, carriage factories, briquette factories, stove factories, textile factories, quilt factories, and farm tool factories, as long as they meet domestic demand, they can make profits, and Cheng Shijie, who owns iron ore, can completely use the way of smashing prices to seize the iron market in Shandong.

Guarding Gu Shizhang, such a big businessman, can completely exchange iron for food, although Daming has frequent wars in the north, the south is relatively quiet, because the impact of the weather of the Xiaoice River is limited.

"Bang Bang ......"

A new day begins with the beating of Zhang Huairen in Sanshan.

The beating during this period of time finally made Zhang Huairen honest. Sure enough, Zhang Huairen, a tough guy, just pretended to be, and his hardness just showed that the beating was not ruthless enough.

Just when Cheng Shijie used Zhang Huairen to move his body and whipped him dozens of times, he went to breakfast.

The backyard of Ning Haijun's garrison mansion is now more populous, in addition to the two righteous daughters of Cheng Jing and Cheng Anning, as well as the two righteous sons of Cheng Shi and Cheng Hu, plus Chen Guodong, Jin Qiaoer and Xue'er, naturally there is also Yang Yunniang, who does not leave.

At first, Cheng Shijie really wanted Yang Yunniang to go, after all, there was a charlatan by his side, what was the matter.

However, the problem is that as long as this matter is mentioned just now, Yang Yunniang will jump into the river with Jiaxin in her arms, although she is not sure whether Yang Yunniang will really commit suicide. Later, Cheng Shijie found that Yang Yunniang was literate, but Cheng Shijie was unavailable.

It's just that Yang Yunniang will manage his internal accounts, but she never thought that Yang Yunniang is quite sensitive to numbers, she found more than a dozen problems from dozens of account books in just three days, some of which were accounts of Cheng Shijie's money, and some were negligent in work.

In this way, Cheng Shijie left Yang Yunniang behind.

Anyway, Cheng Shijie's positioning for Yang Yunniang is Mr. Bookkeeper, and even Jin Qiaoer, who knows braille and simple calculations, has become Cheng Shijie's bookkeeper, and Jin Qiaoer has become Yang Yunniang's assistant. And Xue'er became the new chef, and Cheng Shijie paid them a salary.

Yang Yunniang is ten taels of silver per month, Jin Qiaoer is five taels per month, and Chen Guodong, the guard, also gives five taels of silver, and Xue'er, the cook and his four adopted children, each of them has two taels of silver a month.

"Father-in-law, please dine!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Cheng Jing Jing and said, "Be quiet, call An Ning over!" ”

Not long after, Cheng Jing and Cheng Anning came together.

"Meet my father!"

When Cheng Jingjing and Cheng Anning were adopted by Cheng Shijie, both of them were skinny, but as their nutrition kept up, they both grew a lot of meat.

Especially Anning, who is prone to obesity, and now she has eaten a double chin.

Cheng Shijie said: "Sit down, let's eat together!" ”

"This ......"

"We're family!"

Cheng Shijie groaned: "Discuss one thing with the two of you today!" ”

"Father-in-law, please!"

Cheng Anning and Cheng Jing got up.

"Don't be nervous, don't be so formal!"

Cheng Shijie said: "You are not very old! ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Anning looked at Cheng Jingjing beside her, and she puffed up her chest with some pride.

Cheng quietly lowered his head with some inferiority.

"I can!"

Cheng Shijie said: "You still have a long time in the future, you are illiterate, you don't know reason, and you will suffer a lot of losses in the future, so I want you to study!" ”

Cheng Jing was a little puzzled: "Women can also read!" ”

"Yes!"

"What's the use of a woman reading? You can't participate in the imperial examination, and you can't be an official! ”

"Is the goal of studying just to become an official?"

Cheng Shijie said seriously: "If you think like this, you will fall behind, reading and learning, the first thing is to increase your knowledge!" ”

"But where are we going to study?"

"This house is huge, so open a girls' school in the backyard!"

Cheng Shijie groaned: "Let Yun Niang teach you to read and write, and in the future, my father-in-law will go to find a literate gentleman!" ”

The bandits like to rob the female dependents of large families, perhaps to satisfy the indescribable sense of achievement, in the three women rescued from the town of Sanshan, there are three people from the official family, one of them is still the daughter of the Qingzhou Mansion magistrate, but it is a pity that the woman was rescued, wrote a letter to the family, after receiving the letter, she was depressed, and took advantage of the lack of attention of others, hanged.

At present, the Ning Navy is suppressing bandits on a large scale, and some educated women can be rescued.

"I wish to arrange it from my father-in-law!"

Cheng Shijie found Yang Yunniang again and discussed with her about opening a girls' school.

It's just that Cheng Shijie didn't notice that Cheng Anning was somewhat lost.

After Cheng Shijie left, Yang Yunniang sighed: "The two of you...... Awesome mallet! ”

"Don't talk about me, you're not the same!"

Cheng Anning lowered his head, a little weak.

Yang Yunniang looked at Cheng Jing and said, "Quiet, you go and call Qiao'er and Xue'er over!" ”

With the arrival of Qiao'er and Xue'er, Yang Yunniang coughed and said, "I called you here today to say one thing." ”

In Cheng Shijie's backyard, unconsciously, Yang Yunniang actually became the boss, not to mention that Zhou Yandong mistakenly thought that Yang Yunniang was Cheng Shijie's wife and concubine, and even Jin Qiaoer and Xue'er also caused such a misunderstanding.

Yang Yunniang is too deceptive, she is holding Jia Xin, she is richly dressed, her momentum is extraordinary, and her aura is even stronger.

Although this misunderstanding has now been resolved, Cheng Shijie asked Yang Yunniang to serve as the bookkeeper, and Jin Qiaoer as an assistant to obey her arrangement.

"The owner's family business is getting bigger and bigger, but the owner is ......"

Yang Yunniang smiled bitterly: "In our life, aren't we women looking for a good husband?" With the identity and status of the owner, there is no hope for you to be a stepfamily, you can be a concubine, and it is also a wealth, once the mother and son are expensive in the future, the opportunity is in front of you! ”

Cheng Jing said timidly: "But my father-in-law ......"

"It's not a kiss, so what's the matter. You also crawled out of the pile of dead people and came to Cheng's house, what kind of life are you living? Do you want to go back to the way things were? ”

"Absolutely not!"

"That's right, it's up to you whether you can grasp this wealth or not!"

Cheng Shijie didn't know that there were several women who were thinking about him.

"Congratulations to Lord Garrison, we have won a big battle!"

"Oh!"

Cheng Shijie saw the good news, only to see that it was written: "Destroy the Drill Forest Leopard Lin Jingzong's department, and behead Lin Jingzong's subordinates, a total of 463 levels." ”

Cheng Shijie looked at Shen Mingyu and said, "What about the captive?" ”

"I didn't ...... There were no prisoners, the battle was too bad, the brothers were wounded nineteen and two died, so ......"

Cheng Shijie naturally knew what was going on, in the past, he did deliberately not leave a reward for the prisoners, because he was only a thousand households, and it was already very difficult to feed more than 14,000 people in the thousand households, and there was no way to take care of the life and death of the bandits.

Although it is said that some of the bandits are good people who have been held hostage, the problem is that whether these good people are coerced or voluntarily, they kill people, they are guilty of crimes, and it cannot be said that those who are forced can be acquitted.

"In the past, the garrison was negligent, and the reward for the prisoners was not set, and the whole army was immediately informed, if the bandits surrendered, they needed to be screened, and the nearby people should be summoned on the spot to find out the bitter master, and after screening, as long as they committed the flower case and slaughtered the people, regardless of whether they surrendered voluntarily or not, they will be beheaded, and the prisoners who voluntarily surrender will be sent to the mine for labor reform!"

"Yes!"

"Where's the seized supplies!"

"It has been transported back, there is not much food, only 1,200 stones, the Drill Forest Leopard is a poor ghost, only less than 10,000 taels of silver have been seized, and fifty-three plundered women have been rescued!"

"Inform the whole army that our Ning Navy needs to be captured, and if one person is captured, he will be counted as a merit according to the beheading level, and he will be rewarded with fifteen acres of land!"

Cheng Shijie has more than 3 million acres of land reclamation authority, for the time being, the land is enough, only if it is rewarded, it belongs to the soldiers themselves, and they will take care of it with their hearts.

The 4,630 acres of land will be rewarded according to the method of rewarding for military exploits, and there will be two soldiers who have died in battle, each with 100 acres, and another Tuntian village can be established.

Cheng Shijie summarized the battle report and sent it to Dengzhou City.

"Good news, the Ning Navy exterminated the bandits, drilled the forest leopard, Lin Jingzong's department, and beheaded the four hundred and sixty-three levels!"

"Good news, the Ning Navy wiped out Xiao Li Guang and Li Kang's subordinates, beheaded three hundred and fifty-one people, captured five hundred and ninety-five people, and rescued one hundred and fifty-six robbed people!"

"Reported the victory, the Ning Navy exterminated the Cao Shang Fei Sun Tianhua Division, beheaded 405 people, captured 783 people, and captured a batch of materials!"

Just when Sun Yuanhua looked at the good news in front of him, he received a message from the porter: "Lord Futai, the Zhang family in Laiyang has replaced the paper!" ”

"Paper, what?"

"The Zhang family in Laiyang sued the Ning Navy for garrisoning and slaughtering the people."

Sun Yuanhua didn't believe in Cheng Shijie's massacre of the people at all, Qin Wu could be wiped out by Cheng Shijie with a few thousand guards, and the strength of Zhensanshan, Drill Forest Leopard, and Grass Flying was weaker.

What's more, if Cheng Shijie really slaughtered the good people and killed the good people, it would not be hundreds of beheadings, but thousands, or even tens of thousands.

Even if it is a good killing, it is also a killing of the homeless, so that the local government will not care, and no one cares about the life and death of the homeless, even if they are not killed, it is not easy for the homeless to live on the way to wander.

Sun Yuanhua frowned slightly: "When did this Cheng Shijie provoke the Zhang family?" ”

Xu Dacheng shook his head: "The student doesn't know, but there may be some misunderstanding!" ”

"It can't be fake, it can't be fake, the face of the Zhang family in Laiyang has to be given, so let Cheng Shijie be notified and let him come to Dengzhou City to explain to the Zhang family!"
