Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 177
Arriving at the office of Nanjianhe Steel Plant, Yang Jinshui was introducing some people and things in the steel plant to Mr. Chen, who had just arrived to replace him, and was doing the handover work conscientiously.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yang Jinshui looked up and saw Wang Daoqiu coming. He stood up with a smile, raised his hands and saluted: "Oh! Congratulations, congratulations, the Grand Tutor has been granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister at such a young age. He is one of the best in history. !”

"Hey, Eunuch Yang is too polite, it's all about the emperor's kindness!"

Yang Jinshui's words were very polite. With an outsider like Eunuch Chen around, it was difficult for Wang Daoqiu to reveal his relationship with Yang Jinshui's brother with a different surname.So he followed the fixed pattern of officialdom interactions and acted politely with Yang Jinshui and Eunuch Chen.

After finishing the conversation, Wang Daoqiu said to Yang Jinshui: "Hey Eunuch Yang, I haven't been to the steel factory for a long time. Why don't you take me to the steel plant? By the way, Eunuch Chen, if you have If you are free, you can come with us!"

Wang Daoqiu didn't mention Eunuch Chen at first, but later said that Eunuch Chen could follow him if he was free.As soon as he heard Wang Daoqiu's words, he was a member of society who had wandered out of Eunuch Chen's palace. He immediately understood that Wang Daoqiu had something to say to Yang Jinshui and did not want him to follow him.So as soon as Wang Daoqiu finished speaking, Eunuch Chen quickly took the initiative to say that he was new to the work in the steel plant and still had a lot to learn, so he couldn't accompany the Taifu. I'm sorry.

Eunuch Chen came up, and Yang Jinshui and Wang Daoqiu pretended to invite him a few more words to give him face on the scene, and then they left the office of the steel plant.

When they came to an open place outside, they were surrounded by the noise of machinery working in the steel factory. It was impossible for outsiders to hear what they were talking about unless they were around them.

Yang Jinshui raised his hand and thanked Wang Daoqiu: "Brother Wang Xian, thank you, thank you. My adoptive father has told me. This time, brother Xian, you recommended to the emperor that I go to Jeju to build a steel plant. Thank you, brother Xian, this is a rescue." I'm sorry, this Nanjian River is surrounded by mountains, and only the Yongding River leads to the outside. Working as an errand here is almost like going to jail."

"If I hadn't thought that if I didn't work hard here for a few years, I would be able to arrange a good job when I returned to the palace, I would have stopped doing it a long time ago. Now, brother Lai Xian will help. Jeju, Jeju next to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal! Not only is the sky there Emperor Gao is far away, and no one cares about it. It is still a world of flowers. Well, now I, Yang Jinshui, will finally leave this mountain valley. Thank you, thank you dear brother. I will send my thoughts to my house as a brother when I return."

My heart, how can Yang Jinshui still express my heart when he stays in this ravine?This made Wang Daoqiu think of a possibility, so Wang Daoqiu looked around first. After seeing no one within ten meters, he came to Yang Jinshui and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yang, are you in this ravine?" You can think of anything in the ditch! You are really not an ordinary person!"

Wang Daoqiu's words were very cryptic, but with Yang Jinshui's old world, how could he not understand what Wang Daoqiu was talking about?However, when it came to making money, Yang Jinshui also heard what his adoptive father Lu Fang said about Wang Daoqiu's dirty tricks.When it comes to making money, Yang Jinshui believes that Wang Daoqiu is a fellow-minded person.

So facing Wang Daoqiu's teasing, Yang Jinshui said without any embarrassment: "Hey, brother Xian, if others ask about this kind of thing, I, Yang Jinshui, will kill me and refuse to admit it. But brother Xian, you are one of our own." , Brother, I won’t hide it from you. As the saying goes, relying on the mountain to live on the mountain or the sea to live on the sea, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Take this steel plant as an example, there is a lot of oil and water to be harvested. For example, the daily life of these thousands of workers Food expenses, such as the safety money of the shipowners who transported ore from Xuanfu, such as discussing with the charcoal farm to charge more for the monthly coke."

"Of course, the bulk of this is still in the smelted steel. Our furnaces, small furnaces can smelt hundreds of thousands of kilograms of iron in one furnace, and large furnaces can smelt millions of kilograms of iron in one furnace. The amount of iron smelted every day is Tens of millions of kilograms. And the iron content of the iron ore used varies. It is normal to refine 1000 million kilograms of iron ore to produce 600 million kilograms of iron or 620 million kilograms of iron. So like this For one thing, the iron smelted every month will be several million catties more or less, who knows?"

Understand, understand, Wang Daoqiu understood what Yang Jinshui said.Moreover, Wang Daoqiu also believed that not only Yang Jinshui, but also those who had some power in the steel factory, such as the furnace chiefs, guards commanders, and captains.They must be like Yang Jinshui in ordinary times, stealing steel, iron and coke in the steel factory.

After all, most people in this world are greedy and cannot withstand the temptation of money.And in this environment, even if you can really treat money like dirt, everyone around you does the same. If you don't do this, what will those people around you think?At that time, they will definitely think that everyone is greedy but you are not. Do you plan to report it? Do you want to take everyone's heads to change your future?
To put it bluntly, it is human nature.

So at this moment, Wang Daoqiu is not a moral gentleman in this kind of matter, just talk about those fake nonsense.He said to Yang Jinshui very calmly: "To be honest with you, brother, I have discussed with nobles in Beijing a few days ago to prepare for joint mining in Shandong. We can also take advantage of Shandong's proximity to the sea and its proximity to Japan and North Korea. , set up an ocean-going fleet, and transport my good things from Daming to the feudal states to sell."

"A few days ago, those nobles came forward to discuss this matter with your adoptive father Lu Gonggong on behalf of the emperor. The emperor handed over the Dengzhou Navy to our control. From now on, the Dengzhou Navy will be under our control. They are still patrol watermen of the imperial court, but in fact they are an ocean-going fleet. Starting from the year after next, we will have to hand over 300 million taels of silver to the palace every year, regardless of profit or loss."

"Now those nobles are all using their connections to look for shipbuilding craftsmen and the best shade-dried giant trees. I am going to wait for my little brother and me to pay my birthday to the emperor, then go to Dengzhou to select the site for the shipyard and draw up a new type of ocean-going warship. After drawings of the drawings, they sent the craftsmen and wood to Dengzhou to start building the ship. If nothing else happens, our ocean-going fleet will set sail next spring to make money. So brother, you must be quick when you go to Jeju this time. Build the iron factory there. From now on, I will collect all your iron at the market price of fifteen cents, and then transport it to Japan and Korea for sale."

Damn it!Taking the dirty goods acquired through corruption and selling them abroad is not a channel for selling dirty goods without anyone noticing, right?Moreover, what Wang Daoqiu promised was the retail price on the market, which made Yang Jinshui very happy.At this moment, Yang Jinshui felt that his financial future was bright.He held Wang Daoqiu's hand and thanked him repeatedly, and promised to give Wang Daoqiu a [-]% kickback.Interest, interest is always the strongest relationship. Wang Daoqiu gave Yang Jinshui a channel to sell dirt without anyone noticing, and the relationship between the two people immediately became closer than that of biological brothers.Wang Daoqiu also took advantage of the situation and asked Yang Jinshui to sell Jue Chang'an [-] large steel pots, [-] waist knives, and [-] steel arrowheads.Yang Jinshui also immediately said that when it gets dark in the middle of the night, he will immediately send people to load the things on the ship and transport them out overnight.

He established a profound friendship with Yang Jinshui, and then Wang Daoqiu took Yang Jinshui to introduce Jue Changan to him.

Because they had to load goods at night, Wang Daoqiu, Jue Changan and his party stayed at Nanjian River for dinner today.

Dinner was a small outdoor barbecue proposed by Wang Daoqiu, and Yang Jinshui also brought out several jars of fine wine from his collection and spices for barbecue meat.

There are delicious wine and meat in the outdoor barbecue, and the roughness of men. Everyone is not hypocritical, drinking in big bowls and eating meat in big mouthfuls.Jue Changan and the others were also present and danced a Jurchen dance, and Wang Daoqiu was also infected by the unrestrained atmosphere. He took off his robe on the spot and showed off the Mike's moonwalk to these sixteenth-century natives.What made everyone laugh "haha", they left the stage one after another and asked Wang Daoqiu to teach them this dance.

They ate, drank, sang and danced as they pleased.After being tired from playing, Jue Changan, who was slightly drunk, looked at the red Nanjian River Steel Factory area in the night. He had mixed feelings. He put his arm on Wang Daoqiu's shoulder and praised the Ming Dynasty for its advancement and the Han people. Smart, eyes full of admiration.

Just like those documentaries later, it said that we had just opened the door to the country, and a group of study groups went abroad to see the industrial civilization of the West. After they came back, they sighed: Compared with others, we are the same as the primitive society.

So now looking at Jue Changan's admiration for the Ming Dynasty, Wang Daoqiu began to despise the fools of later generations.He also said that that person has established a complete industrial system. What kind of bullshit complete industrial system has that person established?

You must know that until the 90s, the foreign trade of a certain big country has been mainly exporting agricultural products and primary mineral products, and importing industrial products, including imported socks and clothing, light industrial products with little technical content.

A complete industrial system, what kind of bullshit is this, a complete industrial system?An industrial system that cannot even produce a pair of qualified socks and clothes!An industrial system that requires farmers to starve every year to support them!Compared with the West, even they themselves admit that the level is that of the industrial system of primitive society!

With such an industrial system, which country has tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land area?As long as he is willing to pay one percent of that person's price, he cannot build that low-level so-called complete industrial system.You must know that for a normal person, it is not difficult to learn something, but it is difficult to master it.

Therefore, as long as a medium-sized country is willing to spend money, it can build an industrial system that is at the level of that era in a big country.But why don't people build such a so-called complete industrial system?Because people are not idiots, they know that the low-level so-called industrial system, to put it bluntly, turns the country's manpower and material resources into piles of uncompetitive industrial waste.It's a waste, it's a crime, it's telling the world that you are the stupid emperor in the emperor's new clothes.

Thinking of those idiots and their pig-like IQs, Wang Daoqiu also felt inferior to his bloodline.But in the blink of an eye, Wang Daoqiu felt better when he saw Jue Changan and his heartfelt admiration for the Han nation.At least no one in the world would say that the Han nation is an inferior nation.At least the Han nation is now a being that the whole world looks up to, and is well deserved to be the most outstanding nation in the world.

Enjoying the vanity that Jue Chang'an brought to him, Wang Daoqiu, under the influence of alcohol, quietly proposed to Jue Chang'an on the spot that the two of them secretly become Anda.

Wang Daoqiu is now one of the core leaders of the richest and most powerful empire in the world, while Jue Changan is now just a "guarantor."The identities of the two were so different, but Wang Daoqiu could take the initiative to ask for sworn sworn sworn friendship. This moved Jue Changan to tears.

However, the northern wolf tribe has a bold and bold temperament and does not have as many small thoughts as the Han people.Therefore, Wang Daoqiu proposed a sworn sworn alliance. Although Jue Changan was flattered, he didn't think too much about it, and he wasn't too nervous about it.He immediately pulled Wang Daoqiu to the top of the mountain next to him. Then Wang Daoqiu and Jue Changan knelt on the top of the mountain, facing the vast starry sky and made a promise to the sky that they would live and die together in this life.
