Chapter 59: The Pit

At Tian Wenliang's house, there was no banquet atmosphere at the dinner party, and the people who invited the banquet had already left. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now the host of this banquet was very worried, worried that the last words left by Jian Chen would cause some people within the guild to waver.

He is the last person who wants to do this, but others are not him, and he does not have so many internal rights.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, Jian Chen is extremely ambitious, and he is a person who sells his reputation and reputation. Don't look at what he says, but if anyone really believes him, they will definitely chew your bones for you. Although he is young, he is bloodthirsty and devours flesh. ”

As a businessman, he knew that such dry talk of character was meaningless, at least for these people here, so he added.

"This kid's idea is good, but his appetite is too big, and everyone is not familiar with him, and this person is aggressive when he comes up, think about it, if he really does what he said, he is so forced now, what will happen in the future?"

"What if we get the technology? Is it possible to kick him out with one kick, let's do what kind of monopoly he said, how much can we earn in a year? I am a trustworthy man, at least I will not be as greedy as him, but will only take my share, so that you can also get a little more? ”

Several people nodded, agreeing with Tian Wenliang's statement, they didn't like Jian Chen either. It has nothing to do with character and aggressiveness, it's just that Jian Chen's appetite is too big and he wants to eat too much, and they will never agree.

There are a few slightly smaller workshops, which have different ideas, and now they can't share much meat in the guild, but are squeezed by others, they are the ones who want to cooperate with Chen Jian the most, but at this time, these words cannot be spoken.

Tian Wenliang knew the thoughts of these people, and at this time, he could only avoid all conflicts of interest in order to prevent this glass guild from collapsing from the inside.

Relying on threats, affection and the like may not be reliable, so Tian Wenliang discussed with everyone overnight to come up with a future distribution of benefits, and repeatedly promised to ensure the interests of some small workshops.

At dawn, everything was based on the premise that Chen Jian handed over the technology, and formulated a future distribution plan, and the bottom line was that the technology was invested in the shares according to the value of 20,000 silver coins, of course, it had to force the workshop to not be able to do it.

"Brother Tian, he is young and vigorous, will he be forced by us to go to other counties in a hurry in the future?"

"The guilds of other counties are all saints? He left Min County and died even more miserably, with no foundation and no relatives and friends, why? Let him know that he won't be able to do this glass workshop without cooperating with us, and then woo him, and then he will grow up. ”

"Then let's start with alkali?"

"Yes. Collect money and buy all the alkali in the entire Min County, I have already said hello to the people in the rest of the industry, they can use the alkali or take it from us at the original price, and they all understand. I also said to Shi Ming, the commercial officer, on the grounds that the incident happened suddenly, he sent a ship to the north to transport the northern alkali, and there was a delay on the way, and there should be no problem for two or three months. Besides, this is not hoarding, as long as we stabilize the price and don't be too greedy to rise, as long as we ensure the use of the rest of the industry, it's fine. ”

After these men had discussed, they discussed the matter of collecting money, and then they ran from place to place, and by the way suspended the production of their own workshops.

They didn't criticize the hired workers too harshly, but on the contrary, they invited them to a good meal, and talked about the current situation, saying only that if this charity trading company continued to do this, I was afraid that everyone would not have food in the future. It's just that they have been hired for so long, and there are those apprentices, even if they don't start work for the time being, they won't fire these people, and they will always have to be raised for two months.

The employees felt sorry for the suffering of the workshop owner one by one, and suddenly felt that this was a good person, and one by one vowed to stand with the workshop and never live up to this affection.

Many people scolded angrily: "What a bullshit charity trading company, this is going to smash our jobs!" ”

…………

Chen Jian stayed in Mincheng for a few days, chatting with many employees in a trading company in the evening, telling stories and telling lies about the win-win cooperation between employees and workshop owners, and by the way, set up a support fund.

All Mincheng employees who are temporarily unemployed, sick, and unable to survive can come here to apply for a little money to live, without interest, as long as they are returned later. The amount of money that can be borrowed each time is small, but it is life-saving money for those hired workers, and many employees are grateful after the word spreads.

The number of people who go to trading houses at night is increasing, some to borrow money, some to work in the trading company, some to listen to stories and think about the future, and some to learn to read and count or some craftsman's skills.

Hu Lin also introduced Chen Jian to a few young people, idealists from decent families, and Chen Jian quickly became friends with them, five or six people got together to chat and discuss for a few days, set up a club like entertainment, set down many internal rules and discussion methods that seemed to be somewhat democratic, stipulated the system of introducing people to guide them to join, and began to fantasize about what the real ideal society would look like, and discuss the most terrible things such as equality, fairness and freedom.

Eventually, the name of the "Amendment and Reform Club" was settled, and the group of people did not know what the amendment was for, but at least the club had its own program: not to use extreme violence, to expand the scope of voting rights, to fight for a minimum death compensation, to fight for symbolic unemployment compensation, to levy an income tax and to stipulate that income tax should be paid on incomes above 2,000 silver coins, to raise the minimum wage, to crack down on speculators, and to limit the maximum land limit. It is hoped that public land and wasteland will be sold at a low price on the basis of the land that a family can buy, and that gangsters' guilds or cooperatives will be allowed to form joint bargaining ......

It is clear that this club is aimed at individual craftsmen and hired workers, and that some policies support handicrafts and commerce, and that there is a literacy and material base as a guarantee, and that it is time for this middle and lower class to make their voices heard.

In fact, Chen Jian's main purpose is to pick up the gun and money bag in the future when his real surname is Zhao, and slap the mouth of this group of people hard for a while to make them understand: This is useless, you have to use other methods.

It was still early before the mutiny, and at this time I had to discuss some interesting and interesting issues with these people. For example, why does the legislative power belong to the council and the executive power belongs to the government, this person who grew up under the Xia State system thinks that it is a matter of course, and thinks about the meaning behind it; For example, what is the difference between the Xia Kingdom and those hereditary Hou Bo States at the beginning, and whether people's bloodline has anything to do with their rights; Is justice and equality the same or not, etc.

In fact, many people have begun to discuss it, especially during the previous unification war, which was the basis and pillar of public opinion here, so over the years, more and more people have begun to ponder these things that seem ridiculous to some people.

He worked normally during the day, gathered at night to discuss, and sometimes Hu Lin would write down the discussion on paper or mail it to the capital.

Jian Chen liked this kind of discussion, so he stayed in Mincheng for a few more days, and as a result, he encountered a good thing.

A businessman from a neighboring province came to the charity trading house and claimed that he was optimistic about the new glass, and wanted to order a batch of 5,000 pieces, and asked for a glass transport rack for two months.

Chen Jian pondered that this was a good thing, so he agreed to this request, adding some money to claim that this carpentry workshop was not his own. The other party was a cheerful person, agreed to Chen Jian's request, paid a deposit of 10,000 silver coins, and the two went to the magistrate to sign the contract.

The contract stipulates that if Chen Jian breaches the contract, he will pay liquidated damages ten times the deposit, and if the other party does not accept Chen Jian's glass at that time, he will compensate Chen Jian for the loss of the original price, and there is a local businessman as a guarantee, Chen Jian is not worried.

Not long after this good thing, Hu Lin told Chen Jian a bad news, and now Mincheng can't buy gray soda.

"Isn't there a certain amount of stock in the commercial officer?"

Hu Lin smiled bitterly: "You can't see it yet, this is someone who is in trouble, and the bottom of the kettle is taking a salary." You are now going to the commercial officer, and the other party has 10,000 excuses to respond to you. Now what? ”

"It's okay, there's no hurry. Go to the commercial officer to apply first, even if you don't use this process, you still have to go. ”

"And then?"

"Then sell when it's time to sell, don't worry, if someone comes to order, they pretend that they don't have a lot of stock for the time being. Only sell and no longer accept large orders. ”

"But you've already signed an order for 5,000 yuan. I think this person is clearly with Tian Wenliang and those people, ready to trap us. ”

Chen Jian was not in a hurry, and told Hu Lin not to worry, just let him raise the purchase price appropriately to see if he could buy it, and after giving an acceptable floor price for purchase, Chen Jian would go back to Nan'an.

Before leaving, he said a word to Hu Lin with a smile.

"Brother Zhu, soon you will know what a privatized chemical plant in Nan'an County is."

Regardless of the confused Hulin, he returned to Nan'an after saying goodbye.

The ash soda accumulated before was enough for a period of time, and looking at the busy employees in the factory, Chen Jian did not let them stop production.

I can't help but say that the other party's methods are vicious, and if you don't have your own chemical workshop, I'm afraid you will really be killed and submitted, but those people don't know that there is actually a way in the world to get alkali without burning plant ashes.

The previously scheduled large clay pot has been fired, and Chen Jian decided to take this opportunity to expand the production of sulfate soda ash workshop.

With the experience gained in the previous months, and the sodium silicate fired with glass and caustic soda, the sealing is much better than the previous test equipment.

All kinds of soil methods, clay, pottery pipes, manual handling and other means are all used, and the sulfuric acid has changed from the original non-continuous production to the continuous production of three incinerators, and the prepared sulfuric acid is used as an adsorbent, and there is no problem.

The method of soil slag removal is not ineffective, sulfuric acid is not nitric acid, and the efficiency of acid gas absorption is very high.

As for soda ash, the most primitive Lubland method is used, and the acid co-heating carbon powder lime is calcined and then filtered. With the expansion of production, it is impossible to use all the hydrogen chloride waste gas produced by the co-heating of concentrated sulfuric acid and salt, and it can only be discharged from the pipeline for the time being, which is extremely polluting.
