Chapter 481: Old Hu, You Can Take Control of This Matter!
Latest website:
The next morning, we were in the west mountains of Peiping.
The new headquarters of the Royal Bureau of Manufactures.
Zhu Gaoxu put his hands behind his back and took the steps of a master, Shi Shiran climbed up the Western Mountain.
However, he found a lot of coal on the mountain and suddenly felt a little surprised.
"Old Hu, why are there so many coals on this Xishan Mountain? Why did you transport them here from Yingtian?"
Hu Yuancheng: "???"
What?
Transporting coal?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
Who was stupid enough to transport coal from Yingtian to Shuntian?
"Ahem, Your Majesty, as far as I know, this is the coal needed to build the new city. However, construction has not started yet, so it is all temporarily piled up in the West Mountain. Therefore, the West Mountain is also called the 'Coal Mountain'..."
Zhu Gaoxu: "???"
Meishan?
Is this Coal Mountain?
The place where the God of War of Meishan hangs himself on the southeast branch?
Damn it, I just don’t know if the crooked-neck tree is still there...
Even Zhu Gaoxu did not expect that the randomly selected location of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau would be the place where the God of War of Meishan would hang himself on the southeastern branch a hundred years later.
Zhu Gaoxu felt dumbfounded when he thought of this.
It was really God's will, and he chose this place with just one stroke.
In the Ming Dynasty, from the time Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang, started with a bowl, to Emperor Chongzhen, who hanged himself on Meishan Mountain and ended with a rope, the country only lasted 276 years.
But because of his unexpected arrival, the tragedy of ending with a rope will definitely never happen again.
At least now this west mountain has become the location of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, and it is not a problem to turn it into a war fortress.
It can be regarded as leaving a way out for those unscrupulous descendants of Lao Zhu's family in the future!
Then Zhu Gaoxu, led by Hu Yuancheng, inspected the new residence.
I have to say that compared to the urban wells in Beijing, the biggest advantage of Xishan is that it is a large place and it is quiet enough!
The living standards of the craftsmen of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau have been improved by several levels, especially those of the master craftsmen, whose monthly salary is comparable to that of real imperial officials.
For this man, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
As the saying goes, "when you are full and warm, you will think about lust." If the problem of food and clothing is solved and there is still money in hand, people will inevitably become bad.
Previously in the imperial capital of Nanjing, some generals and masters of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau often went to Qinhuai, which was ten miles away, to live happily. This also created a bad atmosphere in the bureau.
This matter is not easy for Director Hu Yuancheng to handle. After all, he has not made any mistakes. He is just imitating those literati to drink wine and buy abalone.
After all, it was still a private matter, and it was not easy for Hu Yuancheng to manage it.
But if we ignore it and continue like this, the hard and simple fighting spirit of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau will be all lost!
Just when Hu Yuancheng had a headache, His Highness the King of Han successfully persuaded His Majesty the Emperor to move the entire Royal Manufacturing Bureau to Peking!
Now this deserted and desolate Western Mountain has become the new foothold of the Manufacturing Bureau, which is actually a good thing!
Zhu Gaoxu took out a plan from his arms and handed it to Hu Yuancheng.
He had learned simple sketching in his previous life, so it was not difficult to draw such plans.
"Old Hu, although the conditions are a little difficult, I have prepared the building materials for the new factory for you. You can build it yourself brick by brick."
"In addition, in addition to the smelting factory, manufacturing workshop, and craftsmen's dormitories, a school must be built to impart scientific knowledge and cultivate technical talents. All craftsmen's children must go to school when they reach the age of enlightenment, without exception!"
"This Xishan will become a holy place in the hearts of craftsmen all over the world in the future. When the Ming Trade Union is completed, talents can be continuously supplied to Xishan through the trade union. At that time, I will discuss with His Majesty the Emperor and confer a group of great craftsmen. When the master becomes an official, the future of the craftsmen can be determined."
Hu Yuancheng took the plan as if it were a treasure, his eyes a little red.
Liu Bian and Song Zhong had tears streaming down their faces, and they knelt down on the ground with a large group of craftsmen.
"Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I can't repay you for it!"
Both of them still remember what kind of life they, the craftsmen, lived more than a year ago.
Not to mention marrying a wife and visiting brothels. More than a year ago, they didn't even have enough to eat. They were as poor as beggars. They were numb and despairing of the world.
However, everything changed because of the arrival of His Highness the King of Han.
All the corrupt officials who exploited and oppressed them were investigated and punished, and all the wages that had been withheld before were released.
Later, the War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau merged and were reorganized into the Royal Manufacturing Bureau Bureau 1 and Bureau 2. As a result, the craftsmen gained a special identity-Royal Craftsmen!
Wearing the work clothes of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau and walking on the street, you will receive respect and courtesy from everyone.
Especially those older girls and younger daughters-in-law who were not shy about ogling him. Their direct and fiery eyes made everyone tremble...
The lives of the craftsmen have undergone earth-shaking changes, and I and others are already very satisfied.
However, His Highness the King of Han was not satisfied. He also wanted to allow craftsmen to have a way to become officials in the court just like literati!
This is something that is simply impossible to happen, and something that those civilized officials cannot accept!
Therefore, even if Liu Bian and Song Zhong knew about it, they just thought His Highness the King of Han was joking and never took it seriously.
But no one expected that His Highness the King of Han was not just joking, he had really worked hard for this matter!
Create a holy land in Xishan!
Form the Ming Dynasty Trade Union!
Thus forming a path to becoming an official similar to the imperial examination for literati!
If this road is really understood, all the craftsmen in the world can do it by relying on the opportunities in their hands. UU Reading www.uukanshu. ｅt There is really a chance to become an official, and to be on an equal footing with the literati officials who were in awe and fear in the past!
"Your Majesty, on behalf of all the craftsmen in the world, I would like to thank you for your kindness!"
Hu Yuancheng also sighed inexplicably. He was about to kneel to the ground as soon as he finished speaking, but was held firmly by Zhu Gaoxu.
"Okay, you two get up too."
"I once said that industry is the foundation of a strong country, and you are our Ming Dynasty's most precious technological wealth!"
"Don't worry, there are still good days to come. Cheer up, build your new base, and build our Ming Dynasty!"
The words made the craftsmen burst into tears.
Zhu Gaoxu hated to see such a scene, so he pulled Hu Yuancheng aside.
Hu Yuancheng was confused by his action, but he saw Prince Han take something out of his arms and wrap it tightly with a brocade handkerchief, as if it was some precious treasure.
"Old Hu, besides the Royal Manufacturing Bureau matter, there is another big thing."
"The new capital construction project is now mainly divided into two major parts. One is the finishing work of the West Palace and the construction of the city wall. Guo Zihui, the minister of the Ministry of Education, is responsible for this."
"The second one is the construction of the Forbidden City in Peking. His Majesty the Emperor has entrusted this task to me. In order to successfully complete the task, I decided to use this thing to build it. What do you think, Lao Hu?"
Hu Yuancheng was a little puzzled when he heard this. He took it and took a look, and then he froze on the spot.
What?
Use this to repair?
Repair your uncle!
This is colored glaze, worth thousands of gold!
Where can I find so much colored glaze for you?
"Your Majesty, this matter...I can't control it!"
"Old Hu, you can control this matter, I believe in you!"
"It's possible that you have a high... probability!"
"sensible!"
