Chapter 137

Regarding Zu Dashou's intentions, Li Hui is very clear.

Although she was born in the Korean clan, the task of the clan girl is to do this, when she was sent to the Zu Dashou Mansion, she was still an ignorant girl, no, it should be a girl.

Now, more than six years later, she has grown up. She was sent back and forth like a cargo, and it was absolutely impossible to say that she was not disgusted.

However, she did not have the power and opportunity to choose.

This is the sorrow and helplessness of small countries, their country must rely on the Ming Dynasty tightly in order to survive, if there is no Ming Dynasty, there will be no country for them.

As a clan girl, she must abandon all distractions.

"What should my daughter do when she goes to Golden State?"

Zu Dashou groaned: "You are the best in appearance among all my daughters, the best dancing skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, I want you to go to Jinzhou, your origin...... It's not a good match with Cheng Dashuai, but it's still good to be a concubine and a slave, with you by your side, Cheng Dashuai's military career will not be too boring. ”

Li Hui was slightly blessed: "My daughter takes her life!" ”

Li Hui is destined not to be as carefree as other singers in the ancestral mansion, there are many things she needs to pay attention to, as early as six months ago, she heard the name of Cheng Shijie.

At that time, Cheng Shijie fought with the Jiannu Azig tribe at the foot of Jinshi Mountain, and successfully captured more than 8,000 soldiers of the ancestral army from the Azig.

Later, these soldiers were ransomed by Zu Dashou with a lot of money, and they were extorted by Cheng Shijie for more than one million taels of silver.

Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi, occasionally when drinking, will discuss Cheng Shijie, at that time, Zu Dashou definitely did not have Cheng Shijie's good words in his mouth, in his mouth, Cheng Shijie was greedy, vulgar, despicable, shameless, and obscene......

In short, almost all the scolding words were used by Zu Dashou on Cheng Shijie, but after a short time, I never heard Zu Dashou scolding again, as long as we talked about Cheng Shijie, Zu Dashou's expression would be very serious, and his attitude was very religious.

Later, she learned that this was another big victory for Cheng Dashuai of the Ning Navy, beheading more than 4,000 Jiannu, Li Hui was no stranger to the ferocity of Jiannu, and Cheng Shijie was paid attention to by him.

She has learned a lot about Cheng Shijie's past, and the news in it is true or false.

"It is said that Cheng Shijie is the son of Cheng Yongxing, a thousand households guarding the Thousand Households of the Phoenix Mountain in Fuzhou of the Ming Dynasty......"

"It is said that Cheng Dashuai is seven feet tall (equivalent to two meters two)"

"It is said that Cheng Dashuai's arm strength is amazing, and he can hold a three-stone strong bow (pulling force of 360 catties)"

"It is said that Cheng Dashuai is strong in force, can wear three layers of iron armor, and swim across the sea without sinking!!"

"It is said that Cheng Dashuai is like a galloping wind, and he can catch up with fast horses on foot!"

"It is said that Cheng Dashuai is good at horse lances, and the lance is like a dragon, and he dies when he touches it, and he dies when he touches it......"

Zu Da lived to his adopted daughter Li Hui, and now Li Hui has changed her name to Zu Hui and has become the daughter of his younger brother Zu Dacheng. This time, Zu Hui went south to Jinzhou, and Zu Dashou's adopted son Zu Kefa accompanied him, and 300 elite cavalry of the Zujia army.

This cavalry is quite extravagantly equipped, each driving three war horses, these war horses are tall and sturdy Liaodong horses, in addition to Zu Hui, there are twelve young women with excellent appearance, twelve sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys.

More than 400 strong servants drove more than 200 carts, which were loaded with silk and silk, gold and silver, and these goods were nominally prepared for her niece Zu Hui.

As the head of the Jiangmen in Western Liaoning, Zu Dashou keenly felt that Cheng Shijie's rise was irreversible, at least before Cheng Shijie's holy family declined.

Cheng Shijie and Liaodong Jiangmen will rise again, and Cheng Shijie will replace Li Chengliang and become the head of Liaodong Jiangmen.

In this case, it is more correct to have a good relationship with Cheng Shijie than to suppress him.

Zu Dashou is also lamenting Cheng Shijie's opportunity, just like when he met Sun Chengzong, in a short period of time, with Sun Chengzong's support, he soared.

Now Cheng Shijie met the most trusted cabinet assistant Xu Guangqi in Chongzhen at present, a cabinet deputy assistant, a Denglai governor, and even the new governor of Liaodong can only hide in Ningyuan as an ostrich.

……

Gao Qiqian was full of joy and met his godson Wang Muzhi, because Wang Muzhi brought him back two treasures from southern Liaoning, and these two treasures were self-striking bells from the "West".

In fact, these are two antique clocks received by Cheng Shijie's scrap collection station, which are supposed to be antiques from the eighties and nineties, and the shells are made of brass.

Cheng Shijie actually brought this kind of thing to Gao Qiqian, and he was still a little worried, in fact, after checking the information, he found that this kind of Western-style clock, as early as the tenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1582), the Jesuit Luo Mingjian dedicated a large chiming bell with wheels to Chen Rui, the governor of Liangguang at that time, who "suddenly had a light in his eyes" and made an exception to allow Luo Mingjian to carry out missionary activities in the local area.

Matteo Ricci came to Beijing, to the Wanli Emperor into the two self-striking bells, one of which is a floor type, the height exceeds the roof of the inner hall, the Wanli Emperor was excited, ordered people to build a bell tower in the imperial garden, Fei Jin Qian Liang luxurious decoration, just to put this clock. Another self-striking bell is a tabletop type, and the Wanli Emperor is also very precious, and he listens to it in the bedroom in the morning and evening, just like listening to a music box, and the queen has to hide it.

After finding out the news, Cheng Shijie was relieved, so these brass shells were dismantled, and only the internal mechanical parts were retained, and in this way, these two sat clocks with the shells removed and more than 50 kilograms were divided into two by Cheng Shijie and moved to the Ming Dynasty.

Then, in order to increase the value of these two clocks, Cheng Shijie asked the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to use more than 600 catties of brass to manufacture the bases of two table clocks, one of which was made into the style of a welcoming pine, and the clock was installed on the cadre of the pine tree, and the other was used as a peacock open screen type.

More than 600 catties of brass, plus the craftsman's manual fee, almost more than 500 taels of silver, which is the most valuable thing Cheng Shijie gave to Gao Qiqian so far.

But the two grandfather clocks, in Gao Qi's eyes, are definitely priceless treasures, which are too expensive than giving him tens of thousands of taels of silver.

You know, this is the best treasure that can be reached by high diving.

After Cheng Shijie received these salt leads, he got the benefits, these salt leads to Cheng Shijie created a wealth of 3.6 million taels of silver, Cheng Shijie in addition to gifts, but also gave Gao Qiqian a letter back, in the letter very grateful Gao Qiqian for his support, for the sycophants who don't want money, Cheng Shijie slapped three or four thousand words in one breath.

This is what Cheng Shijie is best at, without excellent eloquence and extremely high emotional intelligence, he would not be able to stabilize that position at all.

If Hangang Group is compared to a small country, his position is equivalent to that of Jingzhao County, one of the most difficult positions, high and not high, low and not low.

In Cheng Shijie's letter to Gao Qiqian, he told Gao Qiqian that if it weren't for these salt leads, he would be in a hurry to jump into the sea, and his remaining military rations were less than 30,000 stones, according to more than 100,000 people in southern Liaoning, but they couldn't eat much time, and if there was no food, the soldiers of the Ning Navy would scold their mothers.

Now that these salts have been brought over, they can be regarded as solving the urgent needs of the Ning Navy.

Faced with these two exquisitely shaped table clocks, Gao Qiqian found that he didn't dare to enjoy them exclusively, so he thought about it and gave one of them to Emperor Chongzhen, and the other one was placed in his house near the Zhimen in the west of the city.

Emperor Chongzhen has actually been worried about Cheng Shijie, although Cheng Shijie raised military funds by himself, he started from scratch, using Sun Yuanhua's limited help to establish the Ning Navy, an army with strong combat effectiveness, without the support of the imperial court, is developing better and better.

For the emperor, this is not a good thing.

Until Gao Qi dived to Chongzhen to ask for salt introduction, what is salt introduction for Emperor Chongzhen? ? With a big wave, 800,000 salt leads to Ning Haijun.

"What did you say?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the beautifully packaged salt in front of him, and said in disbelief: "This salt can also cure diseases?" ”

"How dare the slave and maid deceive the emperor, even if the emperor lends the slave and maid ten guts, the slave and maid will not dare to deceive Your Majesty!"

Gao Qiqian pointed to the salt in front of him and said: "Just this kind of salt, General Cheng Shijie Cheng resold it to Huizhou merchants...... If it weren't for the salt being brought to southern Liaoning, General Cheng would have run out of food. ”

"Out of food?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately became anxious. At the beginning, the Guanning Army could be known as the bombing camp army, and often mutinied every three or five times, if the Ning Navy also ran out of food, Cheng Shijie would not be able to turn the tide even if he had the ability.

"Don't worry, the emperor, with these salt leads, General Cheng can buy grain from Huizhou merchants, there are hundreds of thousands of stone grain, General Cheng Da's department, can still hold on!"

Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ning Navy can be controlled with salt introduction, which is good, the Ning Navy must not get out of control.

But the problem is that it is not safe to have salt alone, and the safest thing is to strengthen the connection with Cheng Shijie.

But what if contacted?

If Emperor Chongzhen has a daughter, then marry a daughter and let Princess Cheng Shijie become the captain of the concubine, but the problem is that Emperor Chongzhen was born in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, he is fifteen years younger than Cheng Shijie, and the eldest daughter Princess Kunxing is only four years old, which is too young, if Princess Kunxing is fourteen years old, then you can marry first.

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, I don't have a daughter of the right age to marry, but I have a sister......

His father, Zhu Changluo, the Taichang Emperor who was the emperor for a month, was also a hard-working man, gave birth to seven sons, and died five of them, except for the eldest Zhu Youxiao and the fifth himself, the other brothers, the oldest lived to be eight years old.

Among them, Zhu Changluo also has ten daughters, the eldest Princess Huaishu, who lived to be eight years old, the second, third, and fourth all died young, the fifth Princess Ningde married Liu Youfu, the sixth sister Suiping Princess Zhu Weijing married Qi Zanyuan in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the seventh daughter Zhu Weiwan, the ninth daughter Zhu Weiyu, and the tenth daughter Zhu Weiyu also died.

Now there is only one sister who is unmarried, that is, Zhu Weiyuan, the eighth daughter of the emperor, but the problem is that her mother, Concubine Li Kang, Chongzhen doesn't like it very much......

This is a famous fierce woman throughout the ages, as Concubine Kang, but she dared to commit a crime and beat Queen Wang to death, that is, the biological mother of his eldest brother Zhu Youxiao.

Concubine Li Kang is the heroine of one of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, although Concubine Li Kang has the grace to take care of Emperor Chongzhen, but the problem is that this woman did not give Chongzhen any good fruit to eat.

Otherwise, Zhu Weiyuan, the eighth daughter of the emperor who was only one year younger than Emperor Chongzhen, should have married early, but Emperor Chongzhen pretended to be deaf and dumb and dragged his sister into an old girl......

But the problem is that now this girl has become a sweetheart......

……

Cheng Shijie didn't expect that Zu Dashou, who was far away in Jinzhou, sent him a niece, but Emperor Chongzhen found him a sister.

Cheng Shijie's biggest headache is that there are not enough people in his hands.

Shipbuilding is a very important technical work, whether it is ancient or modern, it is the embodiment of a country's industrial strength, even in ancient times, it seems to be relatively easy wooden sailing ships.

First of all, not all wood can be used for shipbuilding, which requires the best selection of countless woods, and after making complete sure that there is not a single insect eye, this wood can be smoked and dehydrated.

Unlike the wood used to make furniture, doors and windows, the wood needs to be completely devoid of moisture so that it will not deform, but the wood used for shipbuilding can neither be wet nor too dry, and if it is too dry, it will swell and sink when it is soaked in seawater.

If it's too wet, the wood will be dehydrated under the scorching sun at sea, and the entire hull structure will be destroyed, and too dry and wet will kill people. Only the most experienced craftsmen know what to do to keep the wood in the best condition and to ensure that the hull structure is stable and strong, which is why the old craftsmen are precious.

Cheng Shijie is an engineering student, he knows very well how difficult it is to train a senior technician, it is no exaggeration to say, it not only requires him to have a very high talent, but also requires him to pay unimaginable efforts, without decades of hard work and hard work, it is impossible for such a talent to appear.

In the environment of the Ming Dynasty, if such a talent really appeared in the family, it would not be a good thing for a family, because the status of craftsmen was too low and the income was too low.

Such talents could not appear in a family of eunuchs, nor in a scholarly family, nor in an elite family, because with their conditions and abilities, they could choose a job that was easier and more rewarding, such as a doctor, a lawyer, or a businessman or a politician, which was far better than being a dirty craftsman in a factory.

The problem is that a small number of high-income people, including doctors, lawyers, officials, and businessmen, cannot support a country, or a local government.

It's a pity that the Ming didn't give these valuable craftsmen the treatment they deserved, and neither did I.

But there is one country in distant Europe that has done it, and that country is Germany, and the German Employment Institute has published the results of a study on the lifetime salary of skilled workers in different occupations. The results of the study show that senior technicians in 29 occupations, including mechanical, paper, printing and media technology design, and 13 other occupations, earn more than 1.6 million euros in lifetime wages, which is higher than that of tourism, hotels and restaurants.

In fact, Hangang Group has also achieved this, at least the salary income of management positions at the section level, including below the section level, is far lower than the salary income of front-line workers and skilled workers. Take the senior technician as an example, this senior technician is almost equivalent to the original eight technicians, after restructuring, the technical level is from junior worker, intermediate worker, senior engineer and then technician, senior technician five levels.

The salary and bonus income of senior technicians of Hangang Group are much higher than that of Cheng Shijie, the deputy director of the office of the department-level organ, and even higher than the salary of Director Xu.

Cheng Shijie planned to implement the technical hierarchy of workers at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which would encourage craftsmen to work hard to study technology in order to break through the change and development of technology.

According to Hangang's internal management system, junior workers are relatively easy to obtain, after passing the probationary period for one year, they can participate in the junior worker skills test, which is divided into two parts: theory and practical operation, if the junior worker qualification is obtained, then the monthly salary will be increased by 180 yuan per month on the original basis, which is 2,160 yuan a year.

After obtaining the qualification of junior workers, the monthly salary will increase by 360 yuan on the basis of the junior workers, which is higher than the 540 yuan per month for ordinary workers in the same position, and 6,480 yuan a year.

Senior workers need to obtain intermediate qualifications for five years, or engaged in the project for more than eight years, graduates of this major or related majors to obtain intermediate vocational qualification certificates, continuously engaged in the profession for more than two years, no major discipline violations, you can register for the senior worker examination, the examination process is the same as that of junior workers.

As long as you become a senior worker, the salary will no longer increase by a few hundred or thousands of yuan, but take the salary coefficient, and the senior worker will enjoy a factor of 1.8 times. Both 1.8 times the average salary, can be corresponding to the management post, such as the squad leader only takes 1.2 times the average coefficient, the team leader enjoys 1.4 times, and the section leader enjoys 1.6 times.

The salary coefficient of 1.8 times is the same as that of the workshop director (department level), and when it comes to technicians and senior technicians, Cheng Shijie is not very clear, because he is only a senior worker, and after being transferred to a management position, he will lose the qualification to continue to take the technician examination.

To implement this skill level assessment, the difficulty in the late Ming Dynasty is actually very large, first of all, most of the craftsmen are illiterate at all, let them test the theory, it is almost impossible, many people can't even write their own names, some people are literate, and the theory test can be easily passed, but the problem is their technology......

Cheng Shijie had a headache about this problem, and handed it over directly to the management committee, and asked the management committee to face the entire southern Liaoning to hold a technical competition, select dozens of people from the winners of the technical competition, and formulate the technical level of the Ming Dynasty.

Cheng Shijie is ready to be on par with the new eight levels in the future, that is, eight levels, that is, apprentices, junior workers, intermediate workers, senior workers, technicians, senior technicians, special technicians, chief technicians, a total of eight levels, each level corresponds to a level of salary income, Cheng Shijie's plan, the income of the chief technician should be higher than or equal to the income of the general manager of the hundred general level.

He didn't have the time to deal with these things, because in the later life, he had a very important thing that he had to do in person, his uncle Jiang Wenhua and Qiao Shuyuan finally achieved a positive result and were going to get married.

Cheng Shijie's grandfather, Jiang Feng, didn't have the energy to deal with this matter.

Getting married is not an easy thing to do because two people don't agree on the same thing.

Jiang Wenhua thinks that marriage is a major event, and it is necessary to pay attention to it, at least to marry in a beautiful way, but Qiao Shuyuan thinks that she is a divorced woman. Qiao Shuyuan's husband abandoned her, and she sued for divorce and is currently single. Because of the appearance problem, he naturally did not want to embarrass Jiang Wenhua.

Besides, the two of them, one is disabled and the other is disfigured, and it is a joke to show up.

According to Qiao Shuyuan's meaning, it is two people to get the certificate, and then, the two families can have a meal together.

Cheng Shijie doesn't know who to listen to, but for Jiang Wenhua's wedding house, it was still bought by Cheng Shijie, and now Cheng Shijie is not like before, buying one house or two houses, for him, it is really not a thing.

What he bought for Jiang Wenhua's cheap uncle was an existing house in Times City, which was one of the few luxuriously renovated houses in Hanhai City, not a common rough house.

Cheng Shijie considered that Qiao Shuyuan already has a son and a daughter, and if the two have another child in the future, it will be three children, three bedrooms and two bedrooms, which will definitely not be enough to live in.

So, he bought a set of 155 square meters of four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, due to the recent delay in housing prices, the developer also gave away 19 square meters of window sills, in fact, this can also be converted into a sun room.

brought Jiang Wenhua and Qiao Shuyuan to see the house, and Xiang Hui and Cheng Jiayue also came over to see it. Looking at this spacious house, Xiang Hui's eyes showed a trace of envy.

But there are some things that cannot be envied.

As an abandoned baby, Jiang Wenhua was abandoned more than 20 years ago under the railway bridge on the Second Ring Road in Hanhai City, and was picked up by Gao Feng who was passing by.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wenhua's parents finally came over, but Jiang Wenhua didn't know, and the other party did not ask to recognize Jiang Wenhua, but offered compensation.

From the scrap collection station to handle two big business, now Cheng Shijie's scrap collection station has four supermarkets, long-term cooperation, people around most of the city, travel more than 20 kilometers to deliver scrap, is also very illustrative.

Especially when I bought this house, someone also said hello.

Cheng Shijie looked at Qiao Shuyuan and Jiang Wenhua and said, "Uncle, aunt, this house is a little unlucky, have you seen it?" There is a red word of happiness here! ”

Jiang Wenhua was a little curious: "This is new, a few days, right?" ”

"Yes, in a few days!"

Cheng Shijie explained: "This house, everyone is ready to get married, but on the day of the wedding, the bride and groom had a conflict at the wedding, and the new house broke up without entering, if you don't mind, this house can be bought, it's very cheap!" ”
