Beiyang new warlord

To be honest, this system is quite advanced. The guild itself is semi-official and composed of many practitioners. The internal coordination of the guild can not only avoid excessive competition among peers, but also help train newcomers and eliminate those Unqualified people so as not to affect the entire industry.

Still take Watt who improved the steam engine as an example. He wanted to open a watch shop at the beginning, but he only had one year's apprenticeship experience. The London Hammer Guild rejected his request to open a shop because the qualification to open a watch shop required seven years of apprenticeship.

Watt was forced to go to London for further studies, where he encountered the biggest opportunity in his life, the steam engine.

The reason why I took those big businessmen to the Xishan Pyrite Mine was because Mao Jue planned to set up the headquarters and production site of the steam engine guild here. The beautiful Xishan was unlucky, and a large forest at the foot of the mountain was cut down. It was clean, leaving only a protective forest on the hillside to prevent water and soil erosion. In the evil feudal era, Mao Jue, a shameless warlord, gave orders and gathered thousands of households to do labor labor. People followed to build factories, and the tactics of crowds of people are vividly reflected here. Some of the reinforced concrete Dongjiang River is full of bricks, and people line up like a long queue. In less than ten days, the two-story factory and the three-story office, Feed the smell with fresh cement, and they all stood upright.

Dongjiang's industrialization process is really fast. In Mao Jue's hands, workshops along the river and in the water appeared only five or six years ago. In a blink of an eye, they have progressed to the stage of factories separated from the river.

The rail mine car was pulled directly into the factory building. The iron-rich ore dug up from the Xishan Iron Mine just got off the car, and was thrown into the huge stone mortar piled up with stones. Mao Jue's steam engine whistled Then, the big hammer was driven to smash down, and the finely crushed ore was transported to the stone roller driven by the rotating arm of the steam engine to be crushed.

Finally, manpower was used. The old iron smelting master took his apprentices to pick out the large pieces of slag that did not contain iron, and then sifted it vigorously in the water like panning for gold. The iron was heavy, and the sand was light. The fines are washed out, and the rest is concentrate powder.

Thick black smoke came out of the big chimney of the factory. These ore powders were loaded into trolleys again, pushed into the boiler, and iron ore tempering began. The tempered molten iron was then carburized, and then returned to the furnace. Hours later, after frying and carburizing the steel, those gray iron slags have turned into hot molten steel.

A big hook was used to hook the bottom of the steelmaking furnace. Amidst the sound of workers chanting, the molten steel poured down with astonishing heat. It was Mao Jue's contribution. Instead of using a mud mill, he used a brush. The iron grinding tool with good isolation layer was poured with uniform molten steel to make the grinding tool blazing, and it was left there to cool for several hours, and the new cylinder, which was still a little red, suddenly appeared.

But this is not over yet, the cylinder was hooked again with a hook, and amidst the chanting of the workers, the cylinder was thrown into the tank filled with oil with a bang, and the whole tank was scalded with fire. However, under the cooling effect of the oil, the cylinder was tempered again.

Dongjiang's Hongyi cannons are all cast in this way. It is estimated that the internal pressure of dozens of tons of this thing is not a problem.

However, Mao Jue was still a little dissatisfied when inspecting the factory. Although he had never been to a mine, he also knew that there was something called a washing machine, and it was a waste of time for workers to push carts back and forth. Like the factory assembly line of the later generations, the conveyor belt is manufactured, and the selected concentrate powder is directly brought into the boiler room by the conveyor belt, and the efficiency can be increased several times.

But these are still in Mao Jue's mind. Except for one steam engine for pulling ore in the mine, he only built three steam engines with the model in this month, and even the blower for blowing air into the boiler can only be done manually. , more than a dozen people were sweating profusely to step on it, let alone these.

Seeing the shiny cylinder lifted out of the oil amidst the cheers of the workers, Mao Jue could only shake his head helplessly.

If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let's do it step by step!

As she was thinking about it, Adelena, who owed Mao Jue several times, looked like a good baby. She walked into the factory with small steps like a female secretary of later generations, and her voice was soft and tickling. Mao Jue bowed lightly.

"Master! Those merchants are here, waiting for you!"

"okay, I get it!"

In this charming smile, Mao Jue put away his thoughts, turned and walked out, but just took two steps, he suddenly turned around with a smile.

"I've signed the contract today, master, I will have the time, and I should pay back what I owe tonight!"

Suddenly, the smile froze on her face. Seeing Mao Jue turned around and walked forward again, Adelaine squeezed her eyes angrily.

The office on the other end, where the management of the gold mine will work in the future, is planned to be very spacious, but the time is too urgent, and the interior decoration has not been done. There is only a bare rough room with a The meeting tables are made of wood and made temporarily, no different from a work shed. If it weren't for the exquisite wine in glass bottles in the middle of the table, it would be hard to guess that the people sitting here are all wealthy bosses.

Regardless of the gold mine or the steam engine, they are all promising business opportunities. The God of Wealth, who is rolling in gold and silver, has more people coming this time, more than 30 surnames, and more than 70 businessmen, big and small, kowtow anxiously He waited with his fingers, and in this anxiety, the door opened with a creak, and immediately, Cao Dashang and the others stood up excitedly.

"Meet the general!"

"Okay, in business talk business, there are no generals today, and the one here is Mao Da Shang!"

Fan Er, the future president, walked in with his secretary Adelaine. Mao Jue nodded arrogantly and reservedly. After waving everyone to sit down, he immediately tilted his head at Adelaina. Secretary Na carried a huge tube on her back. Following his instructions, she opened the tube on the table with a bang, pushed it over, and made it out of two sheets of sheepskin. The contract book filled with dense words unfolded immediately.

On the top is a few ink characters written in official script.

Manifesto of the Steam Engine Guild

This thing Mao Jue, Song Xiance and the big businessmen below have spent a lot of effort, from technical secrecy to craftsman training, apprentice assessment, and then to the newcomer membership system, there are dozens of rules, large and small. For the first time, the Ming Dynasty In an industry that has been thoroughly regulated, the first few major businessmen and major shareholders are directly involved in the designation, and the latter small shareholders are reading it for the first time. They all stood up and read carefully from beginning to end. During the period, people kept raising their hands. Mao Jue didn't have any airs about asking questions, and answered them in detail.

The problem lasted for less than half an hour, and the last businessman sat back satisfied. Everyone was very satisfied. First of all, this guild was not a one-sided decision. It was jointly decided by several major shareholders and Mao Jue. When it comes to major business events, it is clearly stipulated that the general meeting of shareholders must be held. This is simply unimaginable in this era of power where the feudal government arbitrarily slaughtered businessmen.

On the other hand, it's pretty fair to share it! Mao Jue is the founder and protector of this contract. No one has any objections to his half, and the rest is divided into quarterly dividends, which is also fair and reasonable.

Seeing that the place became quiet again, Mao Jue also stood up comfortably holding his pen and ink.

"Do you have any objections? If not, let's go!"

Of course, there will be no more! Among the eager smiles of Cao Dashang, Mao Jue was the first to mention his name, stamped his seal, and then passed the pen down, inscribed each name below, one by one The red seals were densely covered, and the ink was dried by the window. Then, Adelena re-rolled the sheepskin roll, and locked it in the meeting room solemnly. in the safe.

Several hostesses filed in and poured wine for everyone. Mao Jue held the glass himself, imitating the plot in the movie and holding the goblet high.

"Gentlemen, cheers to a better tomorrow!"

In the crisp sound of ping-pong, a huge storm swept across the Dongjiang River and even affected the direction of Ming Dynasty for the next few hundred years. The new eye of the typhoon took shape.

Chapter 345. Frenzy

"General Xiao Mao, please forgive me! Just give up some shares! One percent, one percent is fine!"

It's really called men and women who can't take care of the defense, good guy, the effort to go to Fuyin to clean up the manor, two big deals just went wrong, gold mine, steam engine, both are worth more than thousands of acres of Zhuangzi, A pair of charming big eyes were red, and in Adelaena's murderous eyes, the girl Luo Ning grabbed Mao Jue's arm, pleading sadly.

It's a pity that there are no fathers and sons in the mall, and gold mines don't matter. From later generations, Mao Jue knows how profitable this steam engine is. He shakes his head like a rattle.

"No, no, the transfer of shares must go through the shareholders' meeting, and the general will not count. Otherwise, you can go to Cao Jixiang to discuss it!"

"Hmph, stingy!"

Don't look at the fact that the shareholders' meeting is written in the regulations, Mao Jue's prestige can make Cao Dashang and the others nod, and it is also a matter of one sentence. Luo Ning is angry when he is shirked by such an excuse The little mouths pouted.

The relationship between women is so complicated, she is not happy, but Adelaina is very happy, she even forgot how she was bullied by Mao Jue last night, and stood in front of her with a smile.

"Miss Luo, my general is busy with business. If you are free, can I invite you?"

After grinding Mao Jue all morning, he still didn't let go. The furious Luo Ning finally gave up and yelled, gnashing his teeth.

"The concubine wants to place an order, no matter how much money! I want to order fifty units first!"

"I'm not in charge of this! It's still Cao Jixiang who manages the business now! How about that, Nana, use my carriage to send Shopkeeper Luo to Shopkeeper Cao and place an order!"

"Thank you General!"

Sitting in Mao Jue's carriage was tantamount to using Mao Jue's name, and finally turned his anger into joy. This clingy female shopkeeper was sent away, and she was afraid that she would not be able to snatch it. Holding her skirt, the girl rolled around Climbing down the three-story small building of the yamen.

Watching her leave, Mao Jue couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, and opened the lid on the table with a bang. Inside was a golden color with purple light, and a full kilogram of purple gold was carefully forged into I bought all kinds of jewelry, earrings, and necklaces. Even if Mao Jue’s family had many girls, it would probably be enough for them to share a share. Holding a string inlaid with gems, I fiddled with the forehead gold ornaments worn by maids in the Tang Dynasty. Mao Jue She closed the lid in joy, and immediately waved her hand to Adelena who was sending people out.

"Slip!"

Just kidding! The core interest issue, even if Luo Ning is naked and lying on his bed, it should not be allowed, or not. The reason why Mao Jue is willing to distribute the benefits to Cao Jixiang and more than 70 people is because they are registered in Dongjiang, and their worth And the industry is also placed in Dongjiang, and Mao Jue has a stake in the stakes, and both will suffer, and both will prosper!

Don't look at the good relationship between Luo Ning and Mao Jue, this girl is from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is as smart as a ghost, she cheated him the first time she did business.Moreover, there is no patent protection these days. When she bought a steam engine, Mao Jue promised [-]% that she would imitate it, and then sell it to Jiangnan. This thing is an artifact for Mao Jue to maintain his advantage over the Jiangnan family. I don't want to see a group of landlords, Michong, who also has a steam engine, robbing him for money and the right to speak.

So don't look at the one who is going in Mao Jue's carriage. It is also 20% possible for Cao Dashang and Captain Liu, who have already discussed, to arrange her order for ten or twenty years later.

I don't want to be rubbed on by this girl with red eyes and cuteness again, the promised purple gold jewelry is clamped into her arm, and she pulls Adelena, Mao Jue is smearing oil on the soles of her feet, and slips away!

It was like running for one's life and bouncing on board the boat, holding on to his chest while Yang Niu and Ying Ji pouted again, Mao Jue was paralyzed on the sofa by the comfortable Uncle Ge.

"Finally going home!"

Unfortunately, God was destined not to let him rest. He took out an official document from the table, and Adelaine handed it over with a smirk on her face.
