Section 518 Iron and Steel Industry (2)
Everyone has different political opinions, but they have the same ambition in making money, and if the government runs it, no one can get any benefits!
It is not said that the prime ministers are selfish, the main thing is that the current state finances are good, and if the state has no money to collect, then it will be a second matter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
No matter how shrewd Ren Tianhou is, she can't stand the complicity of Wei Xi and the four prime ministers, so she nodded and agreed to what everyone did together.
In this way, everyone divides labor, Guo is to be the prime minister in charge of the (household) department, and he will organize the joint stock of all forces, think about the future days, it will make him troubled and sweet, after all, there will be a lot of people who ask him, I hope that Lao Guo will be determined, don't eat sugar-coated shells or fall into the beauty scheme.
Wei Xi is responsible for organizing technology, site selection, talents, etc., this job is just right for him to do, and no one can grab it.
The prime ministers secretly admired: Wei Xi really deserves to be a general, and he laid out early, when he chose the Ministry of Industry when he elected officials, you must know that the Ministry of Rites and Rites in the six ministries is noble (sacrifice, imperial examination!). The officials of the Ministry of Shangshu are in charge of the world, and the officials can be called heavenly officials; The household department is rich, everyone is pleased, and the criminal department is judicial, and everyone is in awe; The military department was dispatched, which was very majestic; The Ministry of Industry ranks the last, but also the most bitter, such as the Ministry of Industry officials have the technology to often travel, send workers and acceptance, all the north and south have to go, the conditions on the construction site are often not good, hunger and thirst are indispensable, feeding mosquitoes is a common thing.
There will be oil and water in the project, but the risk is also large, the crows of the Yushitai like to stare at the officials of the Ministry of Industry the most, because there is often evidence (ill-gotten gains), impeachment is the most powerful, and the power of the Ministry of Industry is also weak, unlike the officials of other ministries, all of them are bullish and coaxing, and it is difficult to provoke.
But Wei Xi chose the Ministry of Industry, and now he has the upper hand, and it is certain that the best mines will definitely fall into his hands.
They were really right, in Wei Xi's rare memory, he remembered that the iron ore mines outside Guanwai (Shanhaiguan) and Saiwai (Inner Mongolia) were the best, but the local political situation was unstable, so there was only one better.
Hubei Daye!
Daye iron ore mining has a long history, since the Three Kingdoms Wu Huangwu five years (AD 226) mining to the present (AD 682) has a history of hundreds of years, Wu Emperor Sun Quan made a sword here, Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang minted money here, in another parallel space in 1890 (Guangxu 16 years) Huguang Governor Zhang Zhidong set up steel, the introduction of Western advanced technology, equipment and talents, built China's first large-scale open-pit iron mine mined by machines, became the raw material base of Hanyang Iron Works.
Large open-pit iron mine! It sounds lofty, Wei Xi sent his most loyal dog-legged Gongbu Langzhong Cui Qianxun to take charge of the mine, he received the royal order to occupy the territory, and the place must be given, and if you don't give it, you have to give it!
Regardless of the other stock prices, the capital here is Wei Xi out of one million, Princess Taiping out of one million, Wu Zetian out of 1.2 million runs, Princess Qianjin out of 800,000 runs, and others made up one million pieces (Yang Chengxian, Cheng Boxi, Fan Wuxian, Jing Dongling's family, Jiang Zhi, Wei family, Guo family (to be lifted), Shi Wanchao, Wang Xiaojie, and the army public each made 100,000 yuan)
A total of five million guan of silver (copper or gold) is a huge investment for Datang, and if there is no foreign war, at least more than three million guan money will not be available!
There is money, land occupation, the key is talent!
Although the Liangzhou Tang family provided a full set of techniques, and everyone in the circle had a share and could copy freely, self-study by reading materials was a different category from someone to guide them.
Definitely, the Tang family in Liangzhou gave priority to helping Wei Xi, look, in the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, the two chief stewards from the Tang family called "Uncle" when they kowtowed to Wei Xi! ”
Wei Xi called Gao Junke, a member of the Ministry of Works, to communicate with the Tang family's chief steward, and Gao Junke saw the technologies of soil coking, coke ironmaking, steel frying, hydraulic crushing of iron ore and coal mass, wind power air supply, alloy steel, mineral processing, and agglomeration, and his eyes suddenly lit up
This Gao Jun is not well-known in history, he is not a professional and is not a noble child, so he has been in the position of a foreigner for many years, but Wei Xi knows that he is an excellent smelting authority in the Tang Dynasty!
He is not only good at casting iron, making copper and steel, but also good at organizing production, and is an all-round talent.
Therefore, he understands those smelting methods at a glance, such as drinking cold drinks on dog days, and when a monkey encounters a peach, he looks straight over regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.
After a while, he bowed his hand to the Tang family and said, "It's really smart, admire!" ”
"I hired you as the chief manager of Daye Mine at three times the salary of your current position, what do you think?" Wei Xi was not polite at all.
"Da Sikong (the elegant name of the Ministry of Works) is called, dare to disobey his orders!" Gao Jun can give up.
The current official is not as good as the current management, if you don't eat the toast, you will eat the penalty wine!
Within a few days, more than a dozen officials in the Ministry of Industry went to work, and all of them went to Wei Xi's Daye Mine!
They are good at smelting, construction, and management, and they are rare talents in that era, Wei Xi hired them with three to two times their salary, and stated that there will be salary increases and bonuses in the future!
What's even harder is that there is a promise that after the mine affairs are on the right track, they can return to the dynasty and be promoted!
Wei Xi said that it can be done, and then give them analysis and analysis: You are waiting for the queen of heaven in the court, and you are also working for the queen of heaven in the mine, and the stock price of the queen of heaven in this mine is the most. (That being said, Wei Xi didn't recognize it after going out, and the name of the queen of heaven on the shareholder table would not appear, hanging on her daughter's name)
There are still benefits in the world, and the dignified officials, clerks, and employees are willing or threatened to lure, and they have slipped away to work for private individuals.
As a result, there was a shortage of officials in the Ministry of Industry for a while, and this Ministry of Industry was a skilled worker, not a civilian worker, and it was not something that could be made up if you wanted to make up for it!
It's super ugly to eat, how can the imperial historians let him run amok, it seems that his skin is itchy, he wrote an anti-poem last time and let him go, this time the evidence is conclusive, it's really unreasonable not to impeach him!
So a bunch of bullets flew to Wei Xi, impeaching him for private use of public weapons, and using his position to threaten and intimidate officials of the Ministry of Industry to work privately.
This guy slyly prevaricates with "you love me", and pretends to say that they suddenly want to change their working environment, what can I do?
The disposition of the imperial court is that from now on, officials of the Ministry of Industry are not allowed to resign and work in private places!
What about those who resigned before?
Oh, I don't blame the past, I can't punish you without teaching!
Obvious favoritism, the imperial historians naturally did not follow, and then on the bullet seal, but found that the backyard was on fire.
I was surprised to hear that a low-level imperial historian named Ye Suqing in the Imperial History Observatory also joined Daye Mine, and it is said that he went to be the manager of the accounts!
dug the corner of the wall and dug up the Yushi Terrace, Wei Xi is also bold!
"Wei Xi, you are so bold, you actually provoked the head of our Yushitai, let me tell you, you are in trouble, if we don't remove you from power, we won't be this official!" Zhuang Jingzhi said fiercely to Wei Xi outside the palace gate after retreating.
"Lao Zhuang, no wonder you are always unsuccessful, do you know why?"
"You are so stupid, the most daring people in the court must be those of us who are soldiers, and you still say that we are so bold!" Wei Xi said lightly.
Abruptly, he said to Zhuang Jingzhi: "It's almost the New Year, if you have time, go to the Taoist temple to give one or two!" ”
"Huh?"
"You buzz in my ears like a fly all day long, when I am a Buddha without fire? I could have stretched out my hand to shoot you to death, there are ways to concoct you, I can make you drink water, hide and seek, sleep wrong, wash your face, and cover the quilt...... You're going to die so much that you don't have anything to say, but luckily, there's a Taoist who says he can't let you die! ”
"You!" Zhuang Jingzhiyuan's eyes widened.
"It's my good brother Xuanqing Dao Chief, who said that I am too lucky, and someone must come and stab me from time to time to help me vent some anger, which is a long-term plan. Not only you, but also other people (referring to the people who had a grudge with him before), I let them all go, so you can do it yourself! ”
After saying that, Wei Xi walked away, so angry that Zhuang Jingzhi's face turned red, and he went back to ponder the sentence, preparing to play the bullet again.
He pinched with Wei Xi, causing a group of melon-eating friends in the court to hold a bench and prepare to watch the excitement, but he didn't expect that the court would have a lot of happy events.
First, the Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge was closed!
The second is that Lubu in the Western Regions reported victory, Wei Xi's cheap old uncle Wei Zhiqi broke the Western Turks, beheaded the chieftain Ashina Duzhi, and cut down 50,000 rebellious foreigners!
