Big happy event? Yinzhen glanced at Yinxiang's back. What happy event was worth Zhenwu's good mood? Could it be that the navy that conquered Europe won the battle? If this were to happen, it would be a great joy for the brothers who had entrusted themselves to Africa. He unknowingly quickened his pace.
When the eunuch who was the leader on duty at the door saw Yinzhen, he hurriedly stepped forward and made a Qian'er gesture: "My slave, Gao Jin, pays your respects to Prince Rao."
Gao Jin? Yinzhen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Look at how tight the eyes are, so you came up?"
"Back to Prince Rao, my servant has been on duty in Changchun Garden, and the prince is naturally fascinated by it." Gao Jin stood up and said respectfully: "The emperor has an order. Prince Rao does not need to hand over a sign, but can go directly to the palace to see you."
Yinzhen nodded slightly and took out a banknote. When Gao Jin saw it, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Prince Rao, the emperor's rules are very strict. The slaves dare not accept rewards. I hope Prince Rao will be considerate to the slaves." We are in trouble." After saying that, he kowtowed.
Yinzhen glanced at him in surprise, and then looked around. Except for a few of them, no one came in. It didn't seem like he was cheating. He really didn't expect that he hadn't returned to the capital in just a few months. Have the rules become so strict? It seems that the fourteenth old man has begun to clean up the rules in the palace.
That being the case, he didn't say anything more, nodded, and walked through the gate without stepping to the ground, laughing secretly all the way. The old fourteen had lost his energy, he was rectifying everything, and setting rules everywhere, but he didn't know how long it would last. ?
In the front hall, Zhenwu walked slowly in the hall with his hands behind his back. The European navy established its power in one battle and occupied Tangure Port. It was an excellent start, and it was also very beneficial to the capture of South Africa and West Africa. Controlling By controlling South Africa and West Africa, it is equivalent to controlling the routes from Europe to the East. It is equivalent to controlling the slave trade in Africa. It not only curbs the economic development of Europe, but also curbs the pace of European expansion to the East. In addition, the fourth child is in Europe. The disruption will inevitably greatly delay the development of Europe.
This will not only benefit the enfeoffment of South America, but also benefit the Qing Dynasty¡¯s foreign trade. It can completely reverse the current completely passive situation. The Qing Dynasty will not only be able to make huge profits from the slave trade, but also gain access to African gold.
He was lost in thought when Bao Fuquan came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Rao is meeting you outside."
Zhenwu stopped and said, "Let him in." After saying that, he turned back to the Imperial Case and sat down.
??Yinyu came in steadily, kowtowed neatly and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty's blessing."
Zhenwu smiled slightly and said: "Without courtesy, I will give you a seat." After he thanked him and sat down, he continued: "Brother Ninth has returned to the capital all the way. Is the post road from Yaojin to the capital still easy to walk?"
"Go back to the emperor." Yinzhen bowed slightly and said: "The post road has been widened a lot. The wide part is enough for six horses to run abreast, and the narrow part can also be used for four horses to run abreast. It is also much smoother." At this point, he suddenly understood that originally The Fourteenth had long had the idea of ??building a large workshop in the capital, which was why he was willing to spend a lot of material and financial resources to repair the Beijing-Tianjin Post Road. He was worried that the Post Road was too narrow and restricted the flow of goods in Beijing and Tianjin. The Fourteenth, Everything is really thoughtful and meticulous.
Zhenwu nodded with satisfaction. With the establishment of the Jingshi Workshop, the logistics volume of this post road will increase dramatically. When the rubber wheel is invented, the transportation capacity of the land post road will be greatly improved. If the road can be paved with asphalt, The effect would be even better, but he didn't know if there was any asphalt that could be used to refine oil. He didn't dare to hope for it now. It was really time to start in the Middle East and the Caspian Sea, so that there might be asphalt.
Soon, he put his thoughts back, and after pondering for a while, he asked: "How is the situation in Qi Ru's military workshop?"
Qi's entry into the army workshop was a major event that Zhenwu took the initiative against after he ascended the throne. Naturally, Yinzhen knew the importance of this matter and expected that Zhenwu would definitely interfere with it. He had already made adequate preparations. Then he bowed and said: "Back to the Emperor, I will follow the Emperor's will and try out military control in the military workshop. At the same time, we will implement equal pay for equal work and unify the assessment and promotion standards for bannermen and civilians.
Once these measures were implemented, the changes in the flag were immediate, and the atmosphere improved greatly, and the chaos
The situation of underachievement, lack of qualifications, neglect and slackness was immediately wiped out. The entry of civilian craftsmen was also greatly affected, and the atmosphere of the entire Zizhu Forest was changed.
In the second assessment held in June, Chen Guang invited civilians to supervise the craftsmen. Only more than 340 unqualified flags were brushed off, and all of them were returned to the capital. This move had a huge impact on the flags. Today, the flags are There is no longer any sense of superiority in Zizhulin. Not only is his academic style strong, but he also gets along very harmoniously with the people. "
"Are there any complaints?" Zhenwu asked.
"This." Yinzhen paused for a moment, and then said truthfully: "When I return to the emperor, there will naturally be some complaints, but most of them are in the workshop when Qi Rui gets together to drink in private.But no one dared to say a word. "
Zhenwu nodded slightly. Qi Rui has been aloof for decades. In this society, everyone is at the same level as civilians. After entering the military workshop, he suddenly gets the same treatment as civilians without complaining. What a hell. After a moment of thought, He said: "The quality of the firearms, ammunition, clothing, etc. produced by the military workshop is directly related to the victory or defeat of the war, and is related to the life and death of the soldiers. There must be no slack or negligence.
Firearms were actually popular in the Qing Ming Dynasty. Why were soldiers in the Qing Ming Dynasty unwilling to use firearms? Although there were some disadvantages in the power of the firearms, the more important issue was the quality of the firearms. The phenomenon of explosive chambers was common in firearms produced in the Qing Ming Dynasty. Soldiers suffered severe injuries, so they were afraid of firearms. This was the main reason why soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were reluctant to use firearms. Nowadays, firearms are more powerful, and if they explode, the damage will be more severe. Therefore, the quality of firearms must be guaranteed.
How to improve the quality and production of firearms? In addition to the necessary supervisory reward and punishment system, it is also necessary to improve the enthusiasm of craftsmen, equal pay for equal work, and the same promotion assessment standards, that is, fairness, is the best way. This is the same as running an army. Treatment is not equal, and rewards and punishments are unfair. , will inevitably lead to inner imbalance, which will greatly restrict the enthusiasm, consciousness and creativity of the craftsmen.
Nowadays, large-scale workshops have just emerged. There are many valuable improvements and areas that need improvement. These must be discovered and completed by skilled craftsmen. Even the smallest improvements will bring huge profits. You don¡¯t want to do this. Negligence, we must encourage craftsmen to dare to improve the process, and reward them with official positions, money, and promotions. Don't be stingy.
For Qiliu, we must give more guidance and work in workshops, not only to solve Qirui's livelihood problems, but also to consolidate the rule of the Qing Dynasty and consolidate Qirui's own rights and interests. The power of firearms has now far exceeded that of bows and arrows. If Qi Ru cannot control the manufacture of firearms, what will be the consequences for the children of the Eight Banners?
Management cannot just stop at supervision and clear rewards and punishments. You must always pay attention to understand the thoughts of the craftsmen. If they have any dissatisfaction or complaints, solve them in a timely manner. This is the same as a landlord using long-term workers. The landlord treats the long-term workers well. Only long-term workers will work harder and consider everything for their employers. It is not easy to cultivate a skilled craftsman. I implement the craftsman promotion system to retain craftsmen and stimulate the enthusiasm of craftsmen to the maximum extent.
Finally, we must be good at promoting talents. Regardless of the banner or the people, those who have skills must be promoted well. Use them like tools and use their strengths. Especially talents in management, you must not only be good at discovering, but also It is necessary to consciously cultivate more and more workshops in the Qing Dynasty. There is a considerable shortage of talents in this field. Those who are not competent in management must be resolutely replaced. Poor management will cause immeasurable losses. "
Seeing Zhenwu Jing's homely and verbose instructions, Yinzhen memorized them carefully while secretly chuckling to himself. It seemed that Zhenwu had high expectations for him, and he was afraid that he would also take care of the entire capital workshop. Zhenwu stopped talking, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty Chun Chun's teachings, I will definitely keep them in mind."
Zhenwu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then continued: "There are a lot of Eight Banners stationed in the capital, and the capital banners have even more. It is impossible to transfer them all to Yaojin, Shanghai. I want to build a large-scale workshop in the capital to completely solve the problem of flags." When it comes to livelihood issues, in addition to military workshops, civilian workshops must also be vigorously developed. Watch, watch, glass, furniture, tobacco, mirrors, ready-made clothing, printing, toothbrushes, etc. You can investigate more. French missionaries have been invited to make watches and glass. You contact some French craftsmen to find a suitable place. Of course, to avoid incurring criticism, just use it as a military workshop for the time being."
"I would like to respect the emperor's holy edict." Yinzhen hurriedly bowed and said.
After pondering for a while, Zhenwu warned again: "Clocks, ready-made clothes, printing, etc. can be located in the outer city. All other workshops with sewage, smoke, and loud noise should be located outside the city and must be in the capital." Downwind, downstream of the river, you first lead the craftsmen to survey the land. You might as well recruit vigorously in the capital, including supervisors, gentry, common people and even missionaries, to create some movement."
Make some noise? This is asking him to publicize the construction of a workshop in the capital with great fanfare. Why is this? Propaganda or another purpose? Yinzhen did not dare to think too much and hurriedly bowed and responded: "I obey the order."
"As for the money." Zhenwu paused for a moment and then said: "Bago just negotiated a big deal with the Japanese country. I asked him to urge the Japanese country to pay as soon as possible. I will help you advance the two hundred thousand taels."
An advance payment of two hundred thousand taels? Is this money going to be spent from the profits of the military workshop? Are these fourteen workshops in the capital planning to get nothing? Yinzhen could not help but secretly complain. With so many workshops, it was not enough to just put up shelves. Although the Japanese arms trade was sold at a low price, the quantity was limited after all, and the profit was only three to four hundred thousand silver. What could be saved? thing?
Seeing Yinzhen¡¯s sad face, he remained silent for a long time, Zhenwu couldn't help but chuckled and said: "It is said that Ninth Brother is good at dancing. This kind of thing shouldn't be difficult for Ninth Brother, right?
