"In later generations, I have two days off every week and eight days off a month. Now I have ten days off and only three days off a month. I'm such a stinky capitalist."

For the first time, the fatigue level only increased, but it did not affect the work efficiency. As long as this pattern continues, completing the task will no longer be a dream. Whenever I think of what he has paid and the craftsmen,

In return, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Even when he returned to the small house in the town hall and lay on the bed, Chen Kai once thought that if industrialization really spreads in China, his historical position will be as a representative of capitalists who squeezes the surplus value of the working class.

He is also a pioneer in advocating the workers' welfare movement.

"None of this matters. As long as we can embark on this path, the hundred years of humiliation will be completely overwritten. Of course, we must first find a way to solve the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Only by solving the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will everything really be possible.

!”

What Chen Kai is responsible for is not a simple government-run enterprise, but a real arsenal. Every weapon produced here can be used to equip a soldier, which may cause one or even more damage to the Qing army. There are

The truth is that a drop of water penetrates a stone, and a rope cuts a tree. If the Qing army dies one more person, the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of the Ming army. If one more Manchu true barbarian can be killed, the foundation of the Manchu Qing's rule will be shaken.

Chen Kai believes that everything he does is not only a work task, but also a career and the foundation for the future!

With the success on the second day of May, in the next few days, the craftsmen also began to adapt to the new working mode. The daily quota of 18 spears has been steadily completed, and it is not impossible to advance to a higher level, but Chen Kai

But he is not in a hurry, at least until there are new exchange resources, he does not intend to further squeeze these craftsmen.

Since April 28th, when Chen Kai took over the arms workshop, until today - May 10th, 168 long guns and several pointed wooden guns have been produced. The production capacity of the arms workshop has been greatly increased.

Chen Kai also received praise from Zheng Chenggong. However, Zheng Chenggong was either training soldiers and horses or patrolling various places every day, while Chen Kai worked "from nine to five". Although they lived in the same town hall, they rarely interacted with each other.

Not much.

The deadline of one and a half months has not yet come, and the task is far from being completed. Chen Kai is still the same as before, but the ridicule on the second day of May and before that day has turned into a joke.

Today is the first official day off. There is no sound of blacksmithing and sawing in the weapons workshop. The craftsmen whose workload has increased are naturally enjoying the rare rest time. There are only handymen here.

In accordance with Chen Kai's request, under the supervision of the supervisors, the accumulated water caused by the rain in the previous two days was cleared.

"Joining the army, my brother told me yesterday that the case of You Eryi has been decided..."

You Er was arrested on April 28. For several days, at first he stubbornly refused to plead guilty, even when the grain merchant testified in person. But just yesterday, he was probably really struggling.

He wanted to die, so he confessed to the crime. Zheng Chenggong's punishment was very simple, that is, he was executed, and his property was confiscated. As for his wife and children, he was sentenced to one month of hard labor in the army.

Mostly to take care of Hong Xu.

Chen Kai leaves early every day and returns late every day, traveling between the small house in the town hall and the weapons workshop. He has little contact with unrelated people on weekdays. However, as 18 spears entered the arsenal in consecutive days, the exchanges between

He met various officials and generals during the trip, some of whom he talked to a little more. As for what Ke Chenmei said, he had already received the news last night. At this moment, he was pretending not to know, and he was just accepting it.

This is nothing more than the goodwill of the Ke brothers.

"Guo surnamed hates evil, and people like You Er are destined to die. Before that, he held on, probably because he was still hoping that someone could save his life, or maybe I, Chen Kai, blew up. Guo surnamed

I will continue to rely on him to spur the craftsmen."

"That's also that guy's wishful thinking. I don't know whether Mr. Guo's temperament will be like this. How can he fight an uncertain battle even if he is a talented person who joins the army?"

Among the management of the weapons workshop, Ke Chenmei is considered the closest person to Chen Kai. Not to mention that the Ke brothers are the ones he deliberately befriended, even in terms of character and ability, the guard captain is also the best among them.

But because of his identity, he was destined not to follow him for too long. He was afraid that Zheng Chenggong would put these brothers to great use in the army in the next two years.

"I originally intended to recommend you to the Lord of the Nation after the production of this batch of weapons. I just stayed here for a while in the general's palace, but I don't plan to do so for the time being."

Ke Chenmei had heard Chen Kai's recommendation before. Now that he heard Chen Kai's words, Ke Chenmei was a little puzzled. However, in these short ten days, Chen Kai must have said something.

He is also quite friendly to their brothers. Now that he said this, he has obviously seen some clues and is about to use this to inform their brothers.

"In my opinion, Mr. Guo Xing attaches great importance to your brother. Although he is still a soldier in charge of military affairs at the moment, this position is not commensurate with his talents. Sooner or later, he will be of great use." Chen Kai said this.

He had talked about it with Ke Chenmei before, and Ke Chenmei also conveyed it to his brother, but the old talk was mentioned again here, obviously for the sake of later talk.

"Guo Xingye now has six towns of soldiers and horses under his command, but the total strength is only one regular barracks. It is really not worthy of Guo Xingye's talent and courage. Army expansion is inevitable. I guess it won't be long before that day. At most

In the first half of next year, your brother will be sent to the army to lead troops."

Chen Kai did not say clearly when he would recommend the recommendation, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he had to wait until the day when Ke Chenshu was re-employed. As for the Ke family brothers, it is best to be brothers when fighting tigers, and father and son soldiers in battle.

If the two of them can be together, they will have a better environment and foundation, and they will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Thank you for joining the army for my brother's humble position."

"There is no need for this. If I guess wrong, I would be the wisest brother to blame me."

It is well known in the workshop that Chen Kai values ​​Ke Chenmei. Secondly, there is Mouse Xuzi who has recently "reformed". Chen Kai has been discussing matters with this accountant more and more often. As a whole, the weapon

It was normal for the three non-illiterates in the workshop to have a common language, but in the eyes of Wang Fugui, who was always flattering Chen Kai, it was extremely uncomfortable.

"Isn't it true that even an official likes to be flattered? Could it be that I've photographed a horse's leg?"

At this moment, he was supervising the handymen to drain away the accumulated water and pave the potholes with furnace ash and slag, but these were the things that were on his mind. In fact, everyone has different thoughts, and Wang Fugui's thoughts are understandable.

At least, he was still trying hard to make progress in the weapons workshop headed by Chen Kai, instead of having other thoughts.

"This matter must not end like this."

"That's it. It's time to show that guy a little bit of shame, so that no one dares to poop or urinate on our heads in the future..."

"I object. If nothing else happens, the troops will be sent out next month. We can't cause trouble for the country. What's more, with the country's current situation, our group's current situation is really not suitable for any more internal strife.

"

"Oh? Jian Chu, you are usually silent, but this time the two brothers with the same surname have no regard for their friendship. You, the one named Lin, is protecting the scholar, which is really interesting."

Having said this, the man unexpectedly changed the subject and turned to the two brothers he named Chen: "But, in my opinion, what Jian Chu said is not unreasonable. In the final analysis, these

It’s all about personal loyalty, and it’s really not worth ruining the important matter of the country. We brothers didn’t follow the order of the Grand Master to surrender the Tatars. We didn’t do it to follow the country and kill the Tatars, and together with the generals who would dominate the sea

If the career continues, the scholar's talents will be regarded as Guo Xing's help in the future. Besides, Jiu Feng is not doing anything, so why should we be like this."

"Jiu Feng has a good temper..."

"It's true that Jiu Feng has a good temper, but when it comes to his ability to see people and things, I'm afraid none of us can compare to him. I guess he has figured it out a long time ago. Now, rather than avoiding suspicion, it's better to say

It’s because he didn’t plan anything at all, but we are still struggling with the face-related matters.”
