"Master Zhang, we plan to carry out this strength test tonight. If it passes, then tomorrow morning this locomotive can be disassembled and assembled on the railway built by His Majesty!"
Not only Zhang Qixin was extremely excited, but even the craftsmen working under him were eager to try, regardless of the fatigue on their bodies.
"You have all been working continuously for a long time now. You must give me a rest tonight. These things can be done tomorrow. Your Majesty's requirements are not so high. There is still a long time before the inspection!"
Although he said this, Zhang Qixin has been working until now. Every day when he is sleepy, he takes a short nap and wakes up in less than half an hour to continue working.
"Sir, in fact, we have never felt that our lives are so important in our lives, and we have never felt that we can do such important things in this life and be appreciated by His Majesty!"
"Yes, we must not let down His Majesty's expectations of us. Even if we are exhausted to death, you cannot relax even a little bit!"
As craftsmen, they are at the bottom of society. Although craftsmen like them are ranked second to last, businessmen have a lot of money. They bribe officials and cooperate with high-ranking officials in various departments. Their status and identity have long been
I don’t know how many streets I have left ordinary craftsmen like them.
What's more, they can also use money to buy officials and bribe them.
Therefore, among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, craftsmen have become the lowest level of existence in this society.
Although their skills are good, they are only good and cannot reach the level of smelting masters. But even so, His Majesty still values them and brings them together to arrange for the Ministry of Works to carry out such a great, glorious and arduous task.
mission!
So it can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to and expects them!
"This is a task entrusted to us by His Majesty, and we should be proud of it!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, we see that you have less time to rest than us. You should be the one who deserves the most rest. You are the most critical person in this project. Without you, it will be difficult for us to continue, so
You should pay more attention to your body!”
Zhang Qixin shook his head,
"No, it's different, because I can rest at any time, but you can't!"
"Furthermore, as the person in charge of this project, Your Majesty has entrusted me with such an important matter, and I should fulfill this responsibility!"
Zhang Qixin was a guilty person, but he was not punished accordingly. Instead, he was reused by His Majesty!
What kind of benevolence and magnanimity is displayed by His Majesty to allow him, the eternal sinner who contradicted His Majesty and tried to create counterfeit coins to disrupt the Ming Dynasty, to get such an opportunity!
Therefore, he did not dare to relax, and was even more afraid of disappointing His Majesty!
Ever since he came to the Ministry of Industry and received His Majesty's attention, Zhang Qixin has been thinking about how to successfully complete the tasks assigned to him by His Majesty, and how to complete them smoothly and brilliantly!
But now, he wouldn't dare to slack off on such an important matter.
I'm afraid that due to my own reasons, His Majesty's grand plan will be delayed!
That's why he is like this, working non-stop day and night, and he can be called the strongest scroller in history.
When the craftsmen below saw their boss working so hard, they naturally did not dare to slack off and worked hard one after another.
"Master Zhang's sincerity can be learned from the Emperor and Heaven!"
"No, I just don't want to let down His Majesty!"
Zhang Qixin bowed his hands and said with emotion.
"The Emperor's kindness is so great that I, Zhang Qixin, can't repay it. I can only share it with His Majesty like this!"
At the same time, this is also the attitude of the entire Ministry of Industry at this moment!
They are all afraid that because of their negligence, they will delay the following great achievements, so they dare not stop for a moment.
What a group of people!
Zhu Gaoying listened with a mixture of love and hate.
I didn't remember how quickly I asked you to complete it, I just asked you to do it within the specified time limit.
And one by one, they are all imposing requirements on themselves. Those who don’t know better think that he, the emperor, is here to bully his employees!
"His Majesty?!"
At this time, someone who didn't know who noticed Zhu Gaoyan subconsciously shouted.
The other craftsmen seemed not to have heard and were still concentrating on their work. Even Zhang Qixin and the others, who had some free time, did not expect His Majesty to come at this time.
On the contrary, I thought that the person who said it was lamenting His Majesty's trust and attention to them!
"Yes, we cannot live up to His Majesty's expectations and trust in us!"
No, that’s not what I meant, His Majesty has come to you!
Zhu Gaoying made a shushing gesture to the person, indicating that he should keep quiet. Under this situation, Zhu Gaoying still felt that it was better not to disturb their work and enthusiasm!
Immediately, he gently patted Zhang Qixin's shoulder.
"Um?"
When Zhang Qixin turned around and saw Zhu Gaoying's face, he opened his eyes in surprise and wanted to kneel down to say goodbye, but Zhu Gaoying covered his mouth.
"I understand my love for you, but you should also take good care of your body!"
"The body is the capital of revolution. If you are exhausted, I will have no place to find a group of sincere and capable people like you!"
Before Zhu Gaoyan finished speaking, he saw Zhang Qixin's panda-like eyes shining with tears.
"It's unbecoming for a grown man to cry and cry. Men don't shed tears lightly!"
"After you have finished your work today, leave it all to me tomorrow and have a good rest. Whatever you want to eat or drink will be paid for by the palace. If I can't afford it, I will pay for it myself!"
"You must give people news tomorrow, otherwise, I will not assign you any more tasks!"
Zhu Gaoying was afraid that after these people finished studying steam engines and locomotives, they would exhaust themselves to death. He also counted on these people to research various firearms and artillery for him, and even generators and electric motors!
If we tire them out now, there will be nothing to play with later.
It's not that it's difficult to find this group of craftsmen, but it's almost impossible to find a foreman like Zhang Zhang Qixin who can brainwash the craftsmen and has outstanding abilities.
"When I come here today, I don't have to affect other people. In short, I see everything you are doing, and the entire Ming Dynasty is recorded. I and Ming Dynasty will never let you down."
