The Ming Dynasty did not revolutionize

Chapter 11 Rules and Regulations
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had a lot of things to deal with every day. Although Zhu Zhonglin loved his son Zhu Jianxuan very much, it was impossible for him to stay with him all the time.

So after Zhu Zhonglin finished visiting the laboratory, which also meant that after Zhu Jianxuan took over the laboratory, he took the queen back to the palace.

Of course, Zhu Zhonglin did not leave Zhu Jianxuan here alone, but left him with two personal eunuchs and a group of guards.

There were also personnel from the East Factory who were responsible for supervising and guiding the use of large boring machines, protecting Zhu Jianxuan and reporting the situation of the laboratory to Emperor Zhu Zhonglin at any time.

After watching his parents leave, Zhu Jianxuan immediately ordered everyone to go to the conference room for a meeting, including all the ordinary craftsmen who were working.

The layout of the laboratory's conference room is very similar to the various conference rooms in Zhu Jianxuan's previous life.

There is a long oval table in the middle, with two rows of simple armchairs on both sides for people attending the meeting to sit.

At the top is a larger armchair for the chief officer who presides over the meeting.

The eunuch who followed Zhu Jianxuan put two layers of thick cushions on the armchair and then helped Zhu Jianxuan sit on it.

Allow Zhu Jianxuan's head and shoulders to be above the table.

Otherwise, the top of the head would be exposed, and the scene of speaking like that would be a bit strange.

After the high-ranking craftsmen led by Song Wendao entered the room, they saluted Zhu Jianxuan one by one and sat on both sides of the conference table.

The craftsmen without rank came in and stood behind the craftsmen.

There were still a few chairs left in the conference room, but there were not enough for all the craftsmen to sit on, so none of the craftsmen came forward to sit down.

Zhu Jianxuan felt that this scene was very much a reflection of the distinct class divisions of the classical feudal empire era.

The key is that these people also think this is completely normal.

After everyone found a seat to sit or stand, they all carefully looked at Zhu Jianxuan who was sitting in the seat.

Everyone was very curious about what the little prince would say.

When they received the order and knew that they had to do odd jobs in a little prince's laboratory, they felt similar to Song Wendao.

They all subconsciously thought that the emperor was acting recklessly and asked them to play with the little prince.

It would be fine if he was the crown prince, but playing with ordinary little princes would not only be of no benefit, but might also affect his future development.

But after listening to the conversation between Song Wendao and Zhu Jianxuan on the spot, everyone knew that this time there was a serious research goal.

Although it is unbelievable, the little prince does not look like a child at all.

Everyone began to believe that they had met the legendary child prodigy, and also began to believe that child prodigies really existed in this world.

This experience alone has been something I can brag about to others for a long time.

The craftsmen, like Song Wendao, became more excited, and their previous resistance to the little prince also decreased.

They all now really want to know what the design plan will be like that will make Song Wendao applaud.

Now everyone subconsciously feels that work should be arranged immediately.

Zhu Jianxuan looked up and looked around the scene, then took out a few pieces of paper from his small bag.

After flipping through it briefly and confirming that the page number and content were correct, he handed it to the eunuch beside him:

“This is the management system of our laboratory. After it is read out on site, everyone is asked to make a copy.

"Memorize it within three days, and then take the test. Those who fail the test will not be allowed to enter the laboratory."

Everyone at the scene, regardless of rank or not, was stunned for a moment when they heard this order.

Of course, it was only for a moment.

It is indeed a bit unexpected, but it is also reasonable.

Although most laboratories are relatively chaotic, it is normal for the owner to set rules when a new laboratory is established.

Including Song Wendao, no one at the scene raised any doubts, and everyone agreed in unison:

"I obey your command..."

Zhu Jianxuan was not surprised by this reaction.

Even in modern companies, if the new head of a department is the son of the company's chairman, even if he proposes some special rules and regulations, most employees will not directly resist.

Most people will accept it silently. Even if someone feels that they can't stand it, they will usually resign or leave in another situation.

Not to mention that this is the era of feudal empire, and the person who did this is the old emperor's beloved youngest son.

The eunuchs began to read out the regulations one by one according to Zhu Jianxuan's request.

Song Wendao and everyone else had taken out their pencils and notebooks and began to take down what the eunuch read out.

Those who are sitting and have rank can write on the table, and those who are standing and have no rank can just write while standing.

Craftsmen usually use pencils to write and draw. Pencils are much more convenient than brushes, do not require ink, and can be used anytime and anywhere.

As the laboratory regulations were read out one by one, people occasionally showed puzzled expressions. There were many specific requirements and restrictions that they had never heard of.

The key point is that they have no idea what some of the things mentioned in the regulations are that they are required to use at work.

However, no one dared to ask, so they could only force themselves to memorize it with doubts.

Zhu Jianxuan also asked another eunuch to take out his stationery, and then he lay on the table and wrote his own things as usual.

After the eunuch finished reading the regulations, he placed them on the table as Zhu Jianxuan instructed.

Let the craftsmen and artisans check and complete their own records.

Everyone copied down the regulations in full one after another, and then forced themselves to memorize them silently at their respective seats.

Time slowly approached evening, Zhu Jianxuan looked at the time and announced:

"Okay, let's stop here for today. We will continue reciting after the court session tomorrow.

“By the way, everyone doesn’t need to come to the conference room tomorrow. The space here can’t accommodate everyone.

"But no one is allowed to wander around the lab. Everyone must stay in the lounge and memorize the rules."

Song Wendao and everyone else immediately stood up and responded:

"I obey my orders."

Zhu Jianxuan, accompanied by eunuchs and guards, returned to Kunning Palace in a reserved carriage.

For the next two days, after Zhu Jianxuan had breakfast with his mother every morning, he was immediately escorted to the laboratory by guards.

Zhu Jianxuan continues to write and draw the contents of his memory in the laboratory.

On the fourth day, I came to the laboratory again and called all the staff to the conference room again to start checking the extent to which everyone had memorized the regulations.

The whole process went very smoothly and all the craftsmen memorized all the regulations in full.

Only a few words were remembered incorrectly.

Zhu Jianxuan admired in his heart that these craftsmen worked much harder than the college students and technical workers in his previous life.

Of course, it may also be because the pressure on his boss, as a prince, is too great.

They are forced to put in their utmost effort to fulfill their requirements.

After Zhu Jianxuan finished the inspection, he encouraged her happily:

“Everyone has done a great job. After becoming familiar with these regulations, we can avoid a lot of trouble in future work.

“The key is to ensure your safety.

"Okay, craftsmen above the grade will stay here, and the others can go back and rest first."

All the ordinary craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had now passed the test, and they bowed together to say goodbye.

Zhu Jianxuan looked at the remaining craftsmen on site:

“I will start arranging the tasks now.

“First, please ask Mr. Song to be the general manager of our laboratory.

“When I am not in the lab, I am responsible for the organization of the lab’s scientific research tasks and the overall management of daily affairs.

"Engineer Song also served as the leader of the first team, leading the craftsmen who were familiar with steam engines.

“Disassemble the reciprocating steam engine schematic, draw assembly drawings for the experiment, and complete the reciprocating steam engine principle verification experiment.

“Those who are familiar with mold making and metal casting are assigned to the second group to make wooden and metal molds according to the needs of other groups.

“Those who are familiar with metal and tool processing are assigned to the third group, responsible for making protective masks for experiments.

“Those who are familiar with acids, bases and chemistry will be organized into the fourth group, temporarily assisting the work of groups one, two and three.

“Once the protective masks are completed, there will be a special task for you.

“These are design schematics, design sketches, and design goal statements, and are now officially handed over to Engineer Song for safekeeping.

"Engineer Song will distribute it to everyone, and we will discuss it together first.

“Everyone should understand that these design sketches are only for reference and are drawn up to achieve the design goals.

“If anyone has a better idea to achieve the goal, they can all propose it to improve the design sketch.

“Any doubts should be raised and discussed directly.

"You can either ask me directly or discuss with each other and solve any problems that may arise together."
