Yi Zhizu turned to look at Tang Degui, Xiao Mingliang, and Wang Xiaoqi, and said: "These foreign technicians came to Guangzhou to make money, as long as the rewards and punishments are clear, they are easy to manage." After a pause, he continued: "Foreign technicians are very serious about their work, and their work attitude is very rigorous, and they can even be said to be rigid, which is the advantage.

The rewards and punishments are clear, not only for foreign technicians, but also for you, your wages are not immutable, once a year assessment, good processing money, bad reduced wages. Then he instructed: "Director Tang, your factory department drafts a factory management assessment system and sends it for review." As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, they're all gone, and everyone is busy." ”

Out of the workshop, Yi Zhizhi advised: "During this time, the forging workshop is the focus, but the work of other workshops can not slow down the progress, once the forging workshop completes the mechanized operation, the production speed is not comparable to other workshops, the silk reeling machine is urgent, your attention to the production progress of each workshop, good coordination." ”

Tang Degui also said step by step: "I understand." ”

"Hmm." Yi Zhishu nodded, walked a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "The factory is bigger, there are more workers, and there are a lot of foreign technicians, so we have to build a security department - that is, the factory protection team, the number of people is tentatively set at one hundred, and additional recruits are recruited. ”

Tang Degui listened to it, the factory only has five or six hundred workers, and the factory protection team needs 100 people? He hesitated, "Is a hundred more people?" How is the salary calculated? ”

"The factory protection team needs to be trained, and it can't be trained in a while." Yi Zhizhi said: "The scale of the factory will continue to expand, and everything must be considered in the long run. Wages. Tentatively, two ocean buns are scheduled to eat and live in January. Priority is given to family members, who are given placements, as are new apprentices recruited by the factory. ”

Coming out of the machine factory, Yi Zhishu did not return to the Yuanqi General Account, but went straight to the newspaper office at the east end of Mashacang Street, Wei Sanwei brought back the printing equipment and technicians, and the research and development of Yuanqi Bank's banknotes should also be put on the agenda.

The sedan chair fell off the sedan chair outside the gate of the newspaper hall, and it was easy to get out of the sedan chair with a waist of contentment. When I looked up, I saw Pan Shiming walking out in a hurry, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Zecheng is going out?" ”

Pan Shiming arched his hand and smiled: "I was about to go to the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi, but you came by yourself." ”

"But I haven't seen Brother Zecheng for a while." Yi Zhishu smiled and arched his hand, "Something important?" ”

"Let's go inside." Pan Shiming said sideways and stretched out his hand to give in: "Big shopkeeper, please." ”

The two slowly walked all the way into the courtyard, and Pan Shiming said: "The big shopkeeper can pay attention to the movements of the imperial court during this time. ”

Yi Zhixiang really didn't pay attention to Di Bao during this time, and immediately asked, "Something happened again?" ”

"It's still a non-smoking thing." Pan Shiming said: "Huang Jue, the Qing of Honglu Temple, wrote "Please Strictly Prohibit Leakage to Cultivate the Ability of the Country", and the emperor expressed his views on the governors of various provinces, and now there are two factions - the strict prohibition faction and the relaxation prohibition faction. ”

Yi Zhishu was very surprised, on the cusp of this storm, and the governor insisted on relaxing the ban. Was this head kicked by a donkey or caught in the door? He couldn't help but interrupt the conversation and said, "And the superintendent is on the book to relax the ban?" ”

"This relaxation is not the other's relaxation." Pan Shiming said with a smile: "The Relaxation Prohibition faction is led by Mu Zhang'a, the chief military minister, Qi Shan, the governor of Zhili, Xu Naiji, the secretary of Taichang Temple, and others, but they are not against the strict prohibition of crows. Slice. Rather, it is against the crows that will be sucking. The filmmaker is sentenced to death.

Qi Shanshang said that opium has been prevalent in the country for decades, throughout the eighteen provinces, and there are many smokers, including loyal and good descendants, hairpins, and scholars, farmers, and businessmen, most of whom are the people who keep to themselves, and the holy dynasty is lenient and does not punish harshly according to the law.

Crows are strictly forbidden. film, should be the first to strictly prohibit Haikou, to police its source, the second to increase the crime of selling and opening the museum, in order to curb its flow, and then punish the smoker, in order to warn him to indulge. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The strict prohibition faction is headed by Huang Juezi, the Qing of Honglu Temple, and Lin Zexu, the governor of Huguang. ”

Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "Is the number of people in the Strict Prohibition Sect and the Relaxation Prohibition Sect comparable?" ”

"The contrast is huge." Pan Shiming said: "There are a total of 29 governors in various provinces, nine people are strictly prohibited, and 20 people are strictly prohibited. ”

The two talked all the way into Pan Shiming's office, and after letting the seat pour tea, Pan Shiming said: "Twenty people are sent to relax the ban, and they all have the upper hand, all of them advocate the first strict ban on Haikou, and the spearhead is directed at Guangzhou, it seems that there will inevitably be a storm in Guangzhou." ”

After a slight groan, Yi Zhizhi said: "The emperor will eventually support the Forbidden Sect." ”

"Will the emperor support the Forbidden Faction?" Pan Shiming was surprised and said: "The Relaxation Prohibition Faction is not only numerous, but also led by Mu Zhang'a, the chief minister of military aircraft, and Qi Shan, the governor of Zhili, this seems unlikely, right?" ”

"You can't be wrong." Yi Zhishu said in a firm tone: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been strictly forbidden to crows. Piece, for more than ten years, crow. The piece is more and more prohibited, and this prohibition will inevitably not be gentle, besides, crow. The film is so flooded that it has to be severely punished, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve results. ”

This statement is indeed reasonable, Pan Shiming pondered for a moment, and said: "The strict prohibition faction does not seem to advocate the prohibition of strict Haikou. ”

Yi Zhizu sneered and said, "Guangzhou is a crow. If nothing else, Guangzhou will bear the brunt, the emperor will inevitably send a messenger to Guangzhou to ban smoking, then Brother Cheng should prepare in advance, once the imperial court has made a decision, "Xiguan Weekly" should be a series of reports. The harm of the piece, the attitude is clear to support the imperial court strictly forbids crows. Slice. ”

Pan Shiming nodded, and sighed lightly after a while: "Sucking crows. The filmmaker is guilty of a capital crime, this is really a great prison for Xingputian! ”

"Brother Cheng doesn't need to sigh." Yi Zhizhi said: "Isn't there still a year to go, if the imperial court can really strictly implement this article, many people can quit it, and there will be no universal prison." ”

Pan Shiming nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

"Brother Cheng, don't worry about the sky, the sky can't fall." Yi Zhizu smiled and quipped, and then said: "I have paid attention to the "Xiguan Weekly", the Western experience is quite extensive, but there is one aspect that is not involved, the law!" In particular, the law of the state -- international law, Brother Cheng might as well inquire to see if there are any foreign businessmen in Guangzhou and Macao who are familiar with the law. ”

And international law? Pan Shiming paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "Well, although Xiguan Weekly is a Chinese newspaper, foreign businessmen also like it, and the number of subscriptions in Macao is not small. (To be continued.) )
