Baojiabing brought Huang Zhong's family to the edge of a settlement: "Look, I'm here. All the people living in this settlement are from the Iron Factory."

Baojiabing shouted, and a big-footed woman came out. Baojiabing shouted: "Sister-in-law Tang family, this is a newly arrived iron factory worker who can repair the armor, so he sent it to Tangtou."

Before the woman could speak, Huang Zhong shouted first: "Tang family, I recognize me, I am Huang Zhong."

"It turned out to be Brother Huang. I told me yesterday that when would the brothers in the military weapon surveillance come here before? I didn't expect Brother Huang to arrive today."

Baojiabing said: "You know each other, that's great. Please find a document to fill out these technical test forms. I won't delay my brother." He and the sister-in-law of the Tang family were polite and turned around and left.

The sister-in-law of the Tang family said, "Come on, let's settle down with you first. How many levels of work will they assign to you?"

"Second level. I said I could get a cousin."

"After the official's assessment, the factory will apply for it, and don't worry about it. You are a second-level technician, so your family of three can live in two rooms. These two young men have been with you for many years. Have you become a teacher?"

The eldest apprentice was about to speak, when Huang Zhong glared at him and said to Tang's sister-in-law: "They are still young."

"I haven't gotten out of the army? That's a pity. I can only be considered an apprentice. Four people have a room, and I have to share it with others. If I get out of the army, I can be a laborer. If I pass the technical assessment, I will be a technician like Brother Huang. I have a room for one person."

As he was talking, the sister-in-law of the Tang family led Huang Zhong to a room: "Your family will live in this room and the next room. Wash it first and rest. When my family comes back, we will have dinner together tonight."

Huang Zhong stopped her: "Sister-in-law of the Tang family, how do you calculate the room fee?"

"The house is free. As long as you work in the factory, you can live as long as you need to."

"Then do I want to buy a house?"

"Brother Huang, just joke. If you are a single family, aren't you afraid of being washed by the thief?"

The sister-in-law of the Tang family took two apprentices elsewhere. Huang Zhong pushed open the door and found that the room was very simple, with a big bed, a table, and four stools. The room was very dark, with only a hole that was one foot square.

Huang Zhong walked to the front of the hole and looked at it: "This is a hole, the brick wall is very thick, and ordinary crossbows cannot be shot in at all, let alone bows and arrows. But the view angle of shooting outward is too small."

He thought for a while: "No wonder the roof of this house is made like a city wall, and arrows can be shot on the roof."

"After all, it's not as tall and solid as the city walls." Huang Zhong's wife said.

"You don't understand that these circle-like settlements are built together. To break this settlement, the four surrounding settlements can attack the enemy's backs."

"Yes, I don't understand. You've been a robber like Master."

"What are you talking nonsense? I am doing the way for heaven. Besides, I will be recruited and the court will not pursue it."

Huang Zhong was originally a soldier during the Liangshan Uprising and had a set of armor repair skills. After Song Jiang recruited him, he was sent to the military weapon surveillance for this set of income and worked under Tang Long, Chenggou. Tang Long was the husband of the Tang family's eldest sister-in-law and was best at making weapons. Because the iron was burned by the fire, he was covered in scars. He was known as the "money leopard".

At the end of Shen Shi, Tang Long came back and invited Huang Zhong's family to have dinner. The young men were eating their own things. Tang Long and Huang Zhong sat alone and sold some sour wine. Huang Zhong asked Tang Long about the situation here.

Tang Long said: "Don't worry, brother. This is the responsibility system of the workshop director. I am not talented, so I also got a third-level technician. From the ninth grade, I can live a safe life with my brother's skills and brother's care."

"That's good, what is the workshop director's responsibility system."

"Hebei, the production of a thing is called a workshop. For example, if you want to go with your brother, it is the A Machinery Workshop."

"Specially produces weapons and armor?"

"That's true. Each workshop is divided into several production teams, and the brothers are in charge of the armor production team, as well as the iron arrow production team, the gun tip production team, etc.."

"How to be responsible?"

"Each production team leader has tasks every month and is only responsible for tasks. In addition to the basic salary, if you want to get monthly bonuses, you need to exceed the task. Although everyone has bonuses, whoever has more or less will be determined by the workshop director and production team leader."

"In order to exceed the task, the production team leader can reward and punish subordinates, but he cannot hurt people, nor can he cause death. Killing and injuring people will be punished."

"Brother, it's not targeting you," Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Even if you don't hurt someone and kill someone, you have to mess with someone, but there are ways to do it. If you offend the production captain, it will be uncomfortable."

"After all, the production team leader is also a sesame official, so it will be hard for Shangguan to be bad." Tang Long smiled proudly, "But the quarrel is too unreasonable, ordinary workers can go to the workshop director and larger officials, such as the factory supervisor, to appeal. They can also ask to be transferred to another workshop, such as your old man who originally made weapons and switched to making agricultural tools."

"What's going on with the technician's grade?" Huang Zhong finally remembered that there was a second-level technician's grade protecting him.

"Here, technicians are treated as officials. Second-level technicians, after passing the technical examination, are awarded the deputy lieutenant of Jinyong and can serve as the production team leader." Tang Long was not very clear about the significance of the rank, so he explained according to his own understanding.

"What rank is Deputy Chief Jinyong?"

"No grade, but you have good skills, and you may be able to get promoted to the ninth grade in a while."

"How many levels are there in total?"

"I don't know how many levels I have. The highest will be the chief technician of the department, and it seems that there are seventh grades."

"Wouldn't that be at level 20 or 30? With your and my skills, how can I be at level 2 or level 3?"

"Old brother, don't worry. It is said that we will use machines in the future. We will have to retrain. When the new training is passed, we will open the machine. Then at least one step up, and we will upgrade from the ninth grade to the ninth grade, and cross two levels at once."

Huang Zhong thought to himself that he would quickly reach the ninth level, and then he would jump to the ninth level after starting the machine later. If he lifted it from the non-grade, he would have to reach the ninth level.

But he didn't say this. Instead, he said, "My two apprentices are following me, brother, you should take more care of them. They are ignorant and just teach them a lesson."

"Where are you talking about, they are both laborers, and they are all gangs and arranged in the group. But there are other people in the group, so you have to treat them equally, otherwise it will be difficult for brothers to do it if they are complained."

"There are other people? Then do they become masters? I don't know if they have any understanding. I don't want it."

"It's not a good place to become a master here, but I have any unique skills that I can offer to the workshop. If I get recognized, it's possible to raise my brother a higher level on the spot."

"Let's talk about this, then I don't want outsiders, just a few of us masters and apprentices."

"The tasks in each group require ten people to complete. You three masters and apprentices will take off everyone's back. And I remember my brother's unique skill is to hit an armor piece with eight hammers, but the same group will also give me a master who is the best fit for embellishment."

Huang Zhong lowered his head and drank for a while and said: "Can I not go to the workshop? I will buy a shop by myself, make furniture and agricultural tools. If the government charges it, I will also make weapons."

Tang Long was silent for a while before saying, "Brother, you insisted on doing this, and no one stopped you, but think about it, where did you buy a shop? Tanggu City is full of wine, sex and wealth, and it is not appropriate to put a shop next to it. The farm tools here are purchased by the farmers' associations. They must be the farmers' associations for workshops. Even if you have more than ten pieces a month, one more is not more, and one less is not less, who will you sell to?"

"Not to mention weapons, they are not allowed to be built privately."

"Why not in Bianliang?"

"Brother, that's not the case. In fact, we do more here and get more. We don't have to take on business, pay taxes, and live in a house for free. We can really save money, and it's not less than Bianliang. Sometimes, our brothers go to Tanggu to drink."

"I don't think it's worth it if I don't do it for myself."

"Brother, is the Jin thief still in Hebei? Is it worthwhile to catch our daughter by the Jin thief?"

"Oh, let's get up and see, tomorrow's rating, brother, you have to help me. I'd have known that I would have gone to Jiangnan."

"Shukang, this arrangement is inappropriate, why not lead people to Jiangnan?" Zhang Shuo was in a capital hall and asked Hu Yangeng privately.

"Tianguan, those who are willing to go to Jiangnan have followed the emperor to the south."

"This is not a reason. There are food and wastelands in Jiangnan. There are also bustling places like Yangzhou, Jiangning and Hangzhou, which are better than a port on the Bohai Sea."

"Do you know that you can pick up the persimmons and squeeze them. The golden thieves will soon go to Jiangnan. At that time, all the food, grass and goods in Jiangnan will be returned to the Jin thieves."

"You mean, the Jin thieves will ignore Bianliang and go straight to Jiangnan."

"The last one will make this judgment."

"Why?"

Of course, Hu Yangeng cannot say that because the history of another time and space is like this. After Wanyan Wushu searched mountains and picked up seas, Jiangnan "eats each other". However, he now has the reputation of fighting more than ten Jin soldiers, and making military judgments is enough to convince the public.

"The heavenly official, the Jin thieves are greedy and cunning. The Jin thieves in Bianliang fought more than ten battles with the last generals in Hebei, but they did not get any advantage. The emperor was in Jiangnan, and the Jin thieves already knew about it. The wealth of Jiangnan is also well-known in the world. If the Jin thieves attacked Bianliang, they would only consume their troops."

Hu Yangeng's tone accelerated: "If the Jin thieves go south, they can capture the emperor and coerce our soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, they can plunder the wealth and goods of the south of the Yangtze River, and they can cut off the food and grass from Bianliang and the north. This matter will kill three goals in one fell swoop, and the Jin thieves will definitely go south."
