Seeing Liu Shi's dark eyes and the resentment on his face, Fang Jun was extremely excited.
They were all beaten like this. The poaching effect must have been obvious, which made the two people so angry that they didn't care about their dignity...
"Tell me, how many people have been poached?"
"..."
Liu Shi looked at Fang Jun's excited eyes and almost cursed...
Mother!
Are you so embarrassed?
But in the final analysis, the fear of Fang Jun in my heart was far greater than my anger, so at this moment, even though I was greeting the eighteenth generation ancestors of the Fang family, I could only say honestly: "The effect is pretty good, the armor was dug from the weapons prison to make it."
There are more than twenty old craftsmen, a few young masters, and more than a dozen craftsmen of various kinds. However, these people are all old people from two yamen. This time, they are coveting the favorable conditions offered by you, the chamberlain, so they drag the family with them.
All the parents are here, and their household registration has been transferred to our Ministry of War."
Craftsmen in the past dynasties were almost at the bottom of society, and their registered residences were in their respective yamen. Moreover, their families had been engaged in the same industry for generations, and they were not allowed to leave their registration for generations.
Of course, due to their low social status, most people will never become craftsmen unless they are desperate, which makes this class a very small minority. Even if dynasties change, it will not cause any trouble or harm to these craftsmen.
It's nothing more than changing the owner.
No one pays attention to them, but no one can live without them...
"Bang!" Fang Jun slammed the table excitedly and praised: "Great job!"
Those who are reborn naturally know that talent is the most important thing throughout the ages. No matter what you want to do, if you want to achieve results, the first priority is talent!
Never underestimate the ancient craftsmen. Although they did not have profound theoretical knowledge, they had been immersed in the same craft for generations and had already understood the principles. They may not be able to explain it clearly, but their skills were definitely not bad. In many cases, even the "experts" of later generations
, and often have to shout incredulously, and then...
"I didn't say anything, I will mark your merits!" Fang Jun stood up happily, walked to Liu Shi and patted his shoulder to show encouragement.
Liu Shi blinked and thought to himself, is there any point in just talking?
He rolled his eyes and said: "Xiaoguan is also a member of the Ministry of War. It is the duty of the subordinate to contribute to the development and growth of the Ministry of War... But speaking of it, the official is really wronged, and He Ruoming can't help it.
That’s all, after all, I’ve been my best friend for many years and I’ll admit it even after he hit me twice, but why should that old man Yu Wenjian do it? Especially when that old guy not only hit the lower official, but also repeatedly slandered the chamberlain... Those words were so unpleasant to hear, I’m sorry.
The officials wanted to give him a lesson on the spot, it was too much!"
Fang Jun looked at Liu Shi's angry face and said with a smile: "Why bother? After all, it's your fault for not poaching people. It's understandable if they hit you twice and scold you. I've always been very particular about '
You're a good person, but this is your fault, so let's endure this tone. If he scolds, he will scold, and if he beats, he will beat. Anyway, we only need people we can poach, so let's keep poaching!"
"..."
Liu Shi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood!
Why is it my fault? It was me who got beaten, but this fault is clearly yours!
This is equivalent to taking a beating for you. If you don't go out and beat Yu Wenjian hard for me, it's enough. "If he scolds him, let him scold him. If he hits him, let him beat him. People have to do it."
Keep digging”…
How conscientious are you?
Got eaten by a dog?!
What depresses Liu Si the most is the calmness shown by Fang Jun...why don't they call you a stick? When someone scolded the stick, why didn't he slap him back with a scream?
We just said something to you back then, and you threatened to beat us down...
Fang Jun didn't feel the sorrow and sorrow in Liu Shi's heart at all. He excitedly pulled Liu Shi's shoulders and walked out the door. As he walked, he said: "Let's go, let's take you to see the grand scene of our foundry.
Let me tell you, as long as you see that magnificent scene, your morale is guaranteed to be boosted. Even if I don't let you go and dig people around, you won't be able to stop! Just think about the disciples and grandsons of the Ministry of War in the next few hundred years.
They will remember and admire the efforts made by us pioneers to strengthen the Ministry of War, and you will feel that all the grievances you are suffering now are worth it!"
It’s worth a hammer!
Liu Shi was pulled and walked out involuntarily, her heart filled with tears.
What kind of evil did we do in our previous life, and you are sent to torture me with such a stick in this life...
When he got to the door, Fang Jun remembered Ji Shiju and waved to him: "You come too, I will take care of you later."
The Japanese are all fluent in Chinese, and although their speaking may be a bit awkward, there is no problem at all in writing.
Because the Japanese country only had the Japanese language and no writing, after Chinese characters were introduced to the Japanese country, they not only became the public use to record historical facts, but were also used by ordinary scholars to write books, and became the only official writing system in Japan at that time.
But it sounds completely different due to accent and other issues...
Ji Shiju was completely confused about what the two of them just said. His Chinese proficiency was not bad and he could understand books written in Chinese characters, but he had only a limited understanding of professional conversations. But at this moment, the phrase "take the wind and wash away the dust" was considered
Understood, I immediately stood up happily and followed with all my might.
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the elegance emanating from the bones are the most admired and envied by the Japanese, and he, an Eni, is certainly no exception. In fact, no matter what matters are related to the "Datang", they will be
The Japanese nation received endless welcome and praise.
The porcelain of the Tang Dynasty, the tea of the Tang Dynasty, the wine of the Tang Dynasty, the poetry of the Tang Dynasty... and even the mats, swords, and clothes of the Tang Dynasty... In the Japanese country, anything belonging to the Tang Dynasty could no longer be expressed by money.
, but represents a class.
Only nobles can enjoy everything from the Tang Dynasty. If you are just a simple businessman, no matter how rich you are, you will never be able to...
*****
Kunming Pool was originally built by the Western Han Dynasty for the purpose of attacking the Nanyue Kingdom and the Kunming Kingdom and training the navy.
Due to the large gap between the Qinling Mountains and the Weihe River, a lot of rainwater flows out from the depths of the Qinling Mountains during the rainy season every year. However, it is too close to the Weihe River and the gap is too large. Basically, it flows away and is wasted. This was used during the Han Dynasty.
Taking advantage of this natural water advantage, a lake was opened to store water on the spot, forming Kunming Pool. Later, Kunming Pool also played a role in supplying water sources for the capital, providing aquatic products to the palace and citizens, building gardens and palaces, irrigating farmland during droughts, and even stabilizing Guanzhong water transportation.
Functions of the water system.
On the north bank of Kunming Pool, there is a canal for flood discharge. The foundry bureau chose to locate here. With the help of abundant water power, it drives the waterwheel to provide the foundry bureau with the power required for blasting and forging.
On the north bank of Kunming Pond is a high hillock. A row of simple barracks are being built beside the ditch under the hillock. Hundreds of farmers are busy in an orderly manner. Fang Jun sees the door of a newly built barracks.
My servant Liu Tianyang...
As the son of Liu Laoshi, the top carpenter of the Fang family, Liu Tianyang can now be regarded as the most outstanding person among the servants of the Fang family!
Liu Tianyang, who is nearly 20 years old and has lost his youth, has embarked on a fast track in life since he began to organize people to "pan the kang" in Guanzhong. The "Fangjia Engineering Team" under him is getting more and more manpower.
In many years, the lowly work of "pan-kang" has long been abandoned. Now all the iron works of the Fang family are built by Liu Tianyang, who leads his own engineering team.
Just after completing the construction of the ironworks at Niuzhuji Nanshan Mine, Fang Jun was brought in to take charge of the construction of the Foundry Bureau...
Compared with the "Grass Team" who are building a temporary market across the entire Kunming Lake, the "Fangjia Construction Team" is the first-class engineering team in this era, and Liu Tianyang is the best contractor!
What's the point of building a house?
Building a blast furnace is a technical job!
However, Liu Shi obviously sneered at this. He didn't mind using the narrowest mind to criticize Fang Jun's intentions. He simply said that "the rich water should not flow to outsiders." He said that the foundry bureau's projects were not undertaken by those who built houses.
After all, it’s not just about putting this huge profit in your own pocket...
However, when he followed Fang Jun into the large barracks, Liu Shi was truly dumbfounded...
I saw a huge construction drawing on the wall facing the door. The drawing clearly marked the countless constructions that were about to begin within a three-mile radius of the water outlet. The densely packed name markings made Liu Shi look at it.
Dazzled!
The descendant of the Liu family in Hedong swallowed his saliva and said with dumbfounded eyes: "Master Fang... this is the Foundry Bureau? If it is built, how much will it cost and how many years will it take?"
Just looking at this drawing, it feels like it is no smaller than half of Chang'an City...
Mother!
How much money does Fang Jun have to make from this?!
Fang Junzheng looked at this picture with his hands behind his back, which represented the most magnificent and high-tech iron smelting center on earth in this era. He felt confident and heroic and ignored Liu Shi for a moment.
Liu Tianyang, who was standing aside with his hands tied, glanced at Liu Shi, then at Ji Shiju, and replied calmly: "The initial estimate is that it will cost 40 million copper coins, and it will take two years to complete it."
Liu Shi had only one thought in his mind at the moment -
