Chapter 10: The Death of a Woman Worker
Chapter 10: The Death of a Woman Worker
These people are all villagers, so you have to pay attention to fame.
Once the reputation of a certain cloth workshop is bad, it can't be done.
This is also the reason why Xu Shenchun tried his best to maintain his reputation.
That's the kind face to this woman.
This woman had a Jiangbei accent, and even a hint of Henan dialect in her voice, she looked flustered, and kowtowed again and again and said: "Master, I don't ask for anything, just let go of the child in my belly." ”
When Xu Shenchun heard this, he was even more angry in his heart.
If this thing gets out, it will be very bad.
And in the cloth workshop, except for him, men are forbidden to enter and exit, who is this man?
All kinds of thoughts in his heart turned like a marquee, but his face was more kind, and a few words made the woman relax her nerves, and then brought her to his duty room.
He didn't ask at all.
Instead, he made it on the Taishi chair and quietly looked at the official kiln tea bowl in his hand.
This is the official kiln boutique, it is said that it is only for the big inside, but there is a background color as white as jade, there is a rain over the sunny color, plain and elegant.
and all those who are outside shall be counted two pieces of silver.
At this moment, Xu Shenchun slammed the tea bowl in his hand on the ground, and there was a "snap", as if a lightning bolt had struck out of thin air in the room.
All those in charge shuddered.
"What I say, take it as the wind in my ears, what's going on, and whose child is it?" Xu Shenchun's tone was not heavy, but there was a kind of pressing pressure.
"Sir," said one of the stewards, kneeling on the ground, "I am obsessed." ”
Xu Shenchun said: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
The steward said, "I am in charge of transportation, and I will ------ -----."
Xu Shenchun waved his hand, and he didn't need to continue. Men and women, Xu Shenchun, a big man who is used to seeing the situation in the shopping mall, doesn't care at all.
Even if you think about it on your toes, you know what it is.
It's nothing more than that the woman feels that being in the cloth workshop is not a long-term solution and wants to jump out. And this steward has a little power in his hands, and he is treated as a dragon and phoenix among people.
After this steward killed people, he knew that something big had happened, and he remembered Xu Shenchun's three orders, and wanted to knock off the woman's stomach and press this thing down.
This woman didn't know the joints, and only thought that she could get benefits if she made a big fuss.
But he didn't think about the consequences at all.
Xu Shenchun said lightly: "Lao Cao, you are the old man in the family, I remember that you have a wife and children, and you also took two concubines, both of whom were selected by the cloth workshop, right?" ”
"I also said that I don't want anyone you really like, I don't want to let people come out first. What else do you have to say? ”
"I'm ----, I'm just playing." This old Cao was sweating profusely and said incoherently.
Xu Shenchun's eyes sank and said, "You just play with my words." ”
"Sir,----- me, no." For a while, Lao Cao didn't know what to say, so he could only kowtow and say: "Ask the lord to be gracious, ask the lord to be gracious." ”
Xu Shenchun said: "I, Xu, never joke with others. He said lightly: "Deal with it, together with that woman, since he takes such a fancy to this old Cao, let them be a couple in the underworld." ”
Lao Cao wanted to say something, but someone immediately covered Lao Cao's mouth, and then someone pulled him out.
For a moment, the whole room was silent, as if there was no living person.
Xu Shenchun leaned on the Taishi's chair and said: "This kind of thing is definitely not an exception, several grandmothers are old, let them go home to care for the elderly." From now on, a section between the gate and the second gate will be sealed, and the goods entering and leaving will be placed between the two gates, and the two doors will not be opened together. ”
"If something like this happens again, it's not a person who dies."
"Yes, sir." All the stewards spoke immediately as if they had been pardoned.
Xu Shenchun snorted slightly in his nose, which was completely different from the situation at the conference. It seems that two people died, one is still a corpse and two lives, and it has never been in Xu Shenchun's heart.
Xu Shenchun can do business to this point, and there is never a shortage of blood in his hands.
Today's events are not enough to cause waves in his heart, and they are just commonplace.
This matter is just an unexpected situation, and after Xu Shenchun dealt with it, he didn't take it to heart, because he had his own set of processes. He doesn't have to worry about it.
He was worried about something else.
He asked, "Can a steam engine work?" ”
Xu Shenchun was able to make his family's business so big in just a few years, and he was definitely not only talented in business.
His speculation on the politics of the Ming Dynasty is also first-class.
In the past few years, Zhu Qizhen has been promoting the steam engine intentionally or unintentionally.
With Beijing as the center, the steam engine has gradually become popular in various counties.
It is mostly used for irrigation.
However, Zhu Qizhen did not only want to use the steam engine for irrigation and transportation, but also intended to use the steam engine in the factory, so that the factory with steam power was closer to the real factory in Zhu Qizhen's heart.
It's just that this thing didn't go too well.
In the Shaofu system, it is not too smooth. Only a few places have changed the water hammer to a steam hammer.
Xu Shenchun volunteered to build a steam-powered textile factory in Songjiang.
Of course, this kind of factory is dozens of generations different from many textile factories in later generations. But it's a feat.
It's just that Xu Shenchun didn't want to make much money through this factory, but just to cater to the emperor's will.
"Sir." An old woman said: "This machine is too dangerous, there are already two girls involved in it, and it is too hot, in the factory, it is like half of a steamer, which can steam people to death." ”
"Isn't it?"
Xu Shenchun said coldly: "No, you can't do this well, let others do it, in short, you can't stop." ”
The reason why young people are reluctant to work in factories is because the factory assembly line can make people alienate into a part of the production line.
But I have to admit that the factory assembly line in our era is not hard at all.
And industrial production, which has just entered the age of steam, is really in dire straits.
The use of steam power will produce a large amount of waste heat, resulting in the temperature in the workshop, which has been above dozens of degrees. People who work in such a situation for a long time cannot continue for a long time.
As for the loud noise, the imperfect labor protection system, and so on, the factories of this era are not sweatshops at all, but cannibalistic factories.
Man does not exist as an operator in a factory, but as a wearing part in a factory.
Looking at the age of the workers who have just broken out in the British textile industry, few are over 30 years old, because most of the workers are dead words after working in the factory for several years or more than ten years.
Very few people can stay on the job for a long time.
The capitalists eat people's faces, and nothing has changed.
Does Xu Shenchun know these situations?
Of course I do.
As a self-made businessman, Xu Shenchun has absolutely clear control over the following situation.
It can be seen from the fact that he came to the cloth workshop to inspect and never went to the newly built steam workshop.
He is aware of the situation in this workshop.
It's just that he never cared about this, he didn't care before, and he didn't care after.
Business competition itself is an act that constantly breaks the bottom line, and there are a few really successful big businessmen who have installed the bottom line.
As long as he knew that this thing was done well, he was likely to get special attention from the emperor, and even wanted to repeat the Xian family's behavior.
Marry the royal family and make your son a colt.
In this way, the Xu family can become a family of relatives from a merchant family.
Although from the perspective of civil officials, relatives are extremely hateful, but for Xu Shenchun, it is a good thing to be able to keep all the properties of the Xu family in this way, and there is no need to even give those large and small officials a little bit of trouble.
He didn't know how many times he had thought about it, looking for a way to talk to His Majesty.
It's just that there doesn't seem to be any special hobbies today, and I don't even like women too much, and the only thing that leaks out is the love for the steam engine and the persistence in promoting the steam engine.
Xu Shenchun can only start from this point, and naturally no matter how much things happen, he will not give up.
