The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 76 Iron Spirit
"Murder can be controlled for a while, but not for the rest of your life." Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.

Ge Cheng smiled and said, "It's enough for a while."

Yao Guangxiao didn't continue to argue, and it didn't make much sense to argue with Ge Cheng about Ying Tianfu's next crisis.

Both of them looked at King Yan.

"When the father was young, he broke out from the slaughter and naturally used thunderous tactics. However, in recent years, he has been lenient in everything, and he has always prioritized intimidation of corrupt officials, followed by severe punishment."

Zhu Di spoke halfway, but didn't say the rest.

Yao Guangxiao is not afraid to speak.

"The civil servants and military generals left by the sage for the prince can be said to be all over the court, especially the military generals, led by Sapphire, with outstanding military exploits that no one can match.

"They don't even look down on King Qin, King Jin, and King Yan. They only recognize the prince. This was a good thing for the court in the past."

"But when the crown prince passes away suddenly, who can hold back these people? Does King Yan have confidence? Not to mention, Lan Yu has hurt King Yan several times."

The emperor appointed his sons as border vassals, not only to deal with the remnants of the Yuan court, but also to suppress Wu Xun.

Although the idea is correct, but today, with the strength of this group of people in the military and their past military exploits.

Who can they serve besides the prince?
If they rebel, who can stop them?
Zhu Di shook his head. Although he paid for it himself, he didn't dare to boast that he could defeat them.

"Jiang Xian came out of the mountain again, which means that the saint has murderous intentions. Who is this murderous intention aimed at? Ge Changshi, do you want to guess who it will be aimed at?"

Yao Guangxiao laughed.

Ge Cheng kept silent.

There are signs in many things, a smart person can understand everything, but in his capacity, it is not as convenient as Yao Guangxiao.

There are some things he can say, but he can't say it himself.

"It definitely won't be aimed at the vassal king. King Qin has lost power and even his personal guards have been taken away. King Jin returned last year with a disheartened face and no success. The prestige in the army has been greatly lost."

"Among the most powerful princes, only King Yan performed well, but he can't stand alone. So at this time, the prince is not in any danger, and he should not voluntarily give up his military power. Presumably the saint is not willing to see it."

Yao Guangxiao made a thorough analysis of the affairs of the court, Ge Cheng was speechless, and couldn't help admiring him.

Compared with the previous few running in secret, this person's talent is far stronger than them, no wonder King Yan trusts this person more and more.

Zhu Di nodded calmly, as a response to Yao Guangxiao.

But I feel embarrassed in my heart.

Could it be that the boss's mind, as intelligent as Yao Guangxiao's, also saw this?Doesn't that compare him as a father?

Fortunately, the boss dissuaded him a bit, made him hesitate, and didn't make a decision immediately, otherwise, after he informed Beiping Dusi, even if he listened to Yao Guangxiao's words today, there would be no room for turning around.

Yao Guangxiao and Ge Cheng left King Yan's place, Yao Guangxiao stopped, and Ge Cheng turned his head curiously.

"I have heard about the eldest son's name for a long time, but I have never met him. I heard that the eldest son is building a new factory and recruiting people to the guard. Is Ge Changshi interested in going with the poor monk to visit?"

Hearing Yao Guangxiao's invitation, Ge Cheng hesitated for a while, and nodded hesitantly.

He didn't want to go there.

If he doesn't see it, it means he doesn't know it, and if he doesn't know it, he doesn't have to say it.

The two rode on horseback.

"Northeast Terrace Village is different from other villages. It is a place where craftsmen gather spontaneously. There are not many surnames and the clan is not prosperous."

On the way, passing the village all the way, Ge Cheng took the initiative to introduce.

"Oh." Yao Guangxiao heard it for the first time, his eyes were full of interest.

"Originally there was an Iron House here, a guild of craftsmen, but it was not very famous. With the decline of the ironworks, it became more and more empty."

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao inquired: "It's similar to the women's society in Tang and Song Dynasties, but it's a pity that it disappeared for a hundred years. I don't know if our dynasty will rise."

"Master has traveled far and wide, and has traveled all over several provinces. Haven't you seen him before?"

"No."

"Since this is the case, there shouldn't be any."

"Our dynasty has only been established for more than [-] years, and there will naturally be ones in the future, just like the shantangs in Tang and Song Dynasties. In many places, big families and clans paid for the establishment."

"The ancients said that one knows etiquette when granaries are solid, and one knows honor and disgrace when one has enough food and clothing. Our court gradually prospered under the governance of the sages, and it is natural for us to restore China."

"Private schools have begun to emerge in many places," the two respected the words of the current Holy Majesty very much.

"In front is Dongbeitai Village."

Unknowingly, the two rode their horses and walked slowly for half a day, Ge Cheng pointed to the front.

Yao Guangxiao raised his head, it was really different.

The eyes were gray and black.

After getting closer, there are even more wood slag, coal ash and iron slag everywhere, piled up like a mountain, and waterwheels of all sizes are scattered all over the river.

Half of the ten houses have kilns built in front of the gates, and the wooden sheds and thatched sheds are like one, and the sound of jingling can be heard endlessly.

"I don't know why, but after entering here, the poor monk felt a surge of strength in his heart, and felt that there was great energy in this place."

"Haha." Ge Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"Did the poor monk say something wrong?"

"The master is not wrong, the eldest son has explained it."

"Ask Ge Changshi to clarify."

"The eldest son calls it the power of industry."

"industry?"

Yao Guangxiao lowered his head and chewed the word carefully.

"China Heavy Industry Steam Engine Factory", "China Heavy Industry Coke Refining Plant", "China Heavy Industry Railway Engineering Department", "China Heavy Industry Engineering Department"

The four large golden signboards hung high, under the sunlight, they were unusually glaring, and Yao Guangxiao couldn't help squinting his eyes.

On the south side of the river is the China Heavy Industry Steam Engine Factory, with two large chimneys taller than a number, seven or eight huge houses, and construction sites around it.

On the north side of the river is the China Heavy Industry coke refinery. The difference is that many wooden frames are built in many small houses here.

Some houses are being demolished, and some walls have been pulled down, raising a lot of dust.

Not only here.

A lot of places in the distance have also become construction sites, with brand new houses, houses with only missing beams, and foundations being laid.

"How many people are needed? No wonder there are not enough people." Yao Guangxiao was amazed.

He has seen many workshops, like the silk workshop in Yingtianfu, the combined number of people is many times that of here, but it is indeed the first time he has seen a factory like this.

"It's no wonder King Yan loves the Eldest Young Master. Just because of the business established by the Eldest Young Master, it doesn't matter where it is placed."

After a long time in the future, Ge Cheng was also shocked by the earth-shaking changes here.

"Spirit of Steel."

He thought of what the eldest son had said.

Originally, he thought he was an iron smelter, but he always felt that he was not. What did the eldest son mean.

"My lord, my lord."

"Hi Zuo"

……

Six men formed a circle, each holding a thick hemp rope in both hands, and pulling a huge and heavy stone plate in the middle.

In the center of the circle of more than a dozen people, there is an old man wearing a felt hat directing.

Whenever he issued that peculiar emphasis, every word has its nodes, and it hits people's hearts accurately, giving people a burst of strength.

And people will use inexplicable language to respond to him.

A dozen or so stone plates were lifted into the air by inertia, and the ropes kept them from flying around, so they slammed heavily on the ground, making the ground compact.

"I'm so tired of ramming and committing crimes"

"Hi Zuo"

"Crack." There was a sound of the stone plate falling to the ground.

……

Ge Cheng and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other, their blood boiled with excitement, and they both felt embarrassed.
