"Stop the coke gas oven, stop it soon."
"Go, get all these raw materials and add them to the furnace in cold order."
"Don't stop, keep turning. Oh, what have you done all this? It seems like you haven't had enough to eat. Let me do it."
"You are a bunch of idiots. I have taught you so many times that the ingredients should be added evenly and not poured in all at once."
"Well, we can't blame them for being careless. They don't have high salaries to receive. They work the same way whether they work well or bad. How is it like us? We in Beiping City distribute according to work, more work, more gain. Who doesn't work hard to study skills? , whoever does not work hard to do a good job will be disrespectful to Mr. Wan and the wages he pays."
These technicians talked to each other, and at the same time they also took over many important tasks and began to be very busy. But Emperor Jianwen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, saw that they were so arrogant and rude, and he knew this without even thinking about it. He is a "trickster" from Beiping City.
And the clothes these "diao people" wear are different from those in the Ming Dynasty. Dark blue pants are made of cotton, with gray cotton jackets on top, dark shirts, a safety helmet on their hair, and feet. Wearing cowhide boots, in short, they look very unconventional, and they are much more energetic than the Ming Dynasty craftsmen who wore short brown boots.
These "tricksters" not only look energetic, but are also nimble with their hands and feet. Five people can work as hard as a dozen people. They can do tricks with various tools in their hands, and they also spank while working. While chatting, the emperor and officials present were regarded as nothing.
"It looks like it's almost done, Lao Wu, take samples for analysis." The leader of the old technicians gave the order, and the young technician called Lao Wu responded and neatly took a spoonful of molten iron and poured it steadily. Once it was in a mold, after it cooled down, I just tapped it with my fingers, wiped my hands, and said, "It's barely passed, brothers, let's call it a day!"
"Haha, we can make a furnace of scrap iron. Who in the future will dare to say that we earn money for nothing." Another technician rolled his eyes at the craftsmen around him and was very proud. As a technician, he usually talks to People were shouting and drinking, and eight out of ten craftsmen didn't like him, and they often gossiped about him behind his back.
"Come on, you kid knows how to blow. What's so great about shaping a furnace of scrap iron? I heard that Master Liu who led us was able to shape manganese steel. He even received a special award from Mr. Wan. The bonus alone is a thousand silver dollars. , and patent commissions." Another technician said, "Whenever we can make special steel, we will be successful."
"What's so difficult about manganese steel? As long as you mix manganese-containing soft tin ore with iron ore, you can successfully smelt it. The difficulty lies in the ratio. If the manganese content is low, the resulting low-manganese steel will be as brittle as glass." , it must meet a certain content to be a hard and tough special steel." Another technician said.
"Don't talk about those useless things, just call it a day and go back to drink. In this damn place, it doesn't matter what you want, except that the aged Erhong is better than the one we have in Beiping City." The experienced technician shook his head and asked his companions to Keep your mouth shut and don't leak out key technologies.
"That is, we have everything we need in Beiping City. We have good food, clothing, and housing. When we are off work, we can take the train to go around. It is very comfortable. As soon as we come to Jinling City, we are like entering a big prison. We can only You can't go anywhere in this factory, and there's no bathhouse, so you can't even take a hot bath after a busy day." Another technician complained.
"The fourth son is right. I will return to Beiping City after this trip. Even if they move Jinshan to me in the future, I will not come here to suffer this pain."
"No, I live in a shabby house, eat pig food, see black faces, and feel full of anger every day."
The five technicians talked to each other, and their final complaints reached the ears of Emperor Jianwen and a group of ministers. It sounded so harsh. Emperor Jianwen's face was dark, as if a storm was brewing, while the officials of the Ministry of Industry were also surprised. Realizing his interest, he immediately stepped aside to check the quality of the newly baked iron bars.
Not to mention, after these five technicians poured it out, the quality of the molten iron in the furnace was indeed much better, with less impurity elements such as sulfur and phosphorus. The quality of the pig iron produced was better than the iron bars produced by small workshops, but it was better than that of Peiping. The pig iron produced in the city was still not as good as the pig iron produced in the city, but this was an explanation for the officials of the Ministry of Works of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, this is new pig iron, please take a look at it." Du Ze, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, presented the pig iron with some excitement. Emperor Jianwen took a look at it and found that it did look much better than before, and his gloomy expression suddenly changed. After getting better, he asked: "Can it be used to cast cannons?"
After spending so much money and so much effort, Emperor Jianwen would not use the iron to build any railways. Instead, he would use it to cast cannons and guns and equip them to the Ming army to enhance the army's combat effectiveness. The Peiping army battled it out.
"The quality is high and can be used to cast cannons. As long as the cannon bore is made thicker, there will be no worries about the bore exploding," Du Ze said.
"Okay, pour it all out and make it into a cannon. I want to see for myself how powerful it is." A rare smile appeared on Emperor Jianwen's face.
However, when the five technicians who were stopped by the Jin Yiwei from leaving in front of the factory heard Emperor Jianwen's order, their faces showed a sneer, and they thought to themselves: Our Peking Army has already used steel cannons, and the Ming Dynasty only now When I think about using iron cannons, I am not even a little behind. Moreover, there is no new gunpowder as a propellant. Iron cannons are far behind in terms of range and flexibility, and they are just for decoration.
As soon as the emperor gave the order, the craftsmen below naturally started to work, first removing the slag in the furnace. Then dozens of prepared cannon molds were pulled to the blast furnace, and buckets of molten iron were poured into it. Soon, the blast furnace The molten iron inside was finished. The five mechanics still looked at it with disapproval and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, those five technicians have unique skills and should be rewarded heavily to win over them." Fang Xiaoru was also present and reminded Emperor Jianwen in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianwen turned to look at the five technicians. His face was gloomy at first, but then he slowly calmed down and said to the eunuch beside him: "Call those five technicians to come forward. I will reward you heavily."
The eunuch took his life and left, and came back not long after, and "brought" the five mechanics. However, those five mechanics were followed by more than a dozen royal guards. Obviously, they were not invited. And those five The craftsmen stood like pillars in front of Emperor Jianwen without kneeling down to salute.
"Don't kneel down and kowtow before you come to the throne." The accompanying eunuch shouted angrily.
"We are citizens of Bac Parallel Province. According to the Basic Law of Bac Parallel Province, we have the right to personal rights and freedom. We kneel to heaven and kneel to our ancestors, but we do not need to kneel to anyone." The veteran technician who led the leader said with a serious look on his face, neither humble nor arrogant: " At the same time, as foreign affairs personnel assigned to the Ming Dynasty, we have diplomatic immunity, and you have no right to ask us to kneel down. If you dare to violate our legal rights, the Peking Army will definitely seek justice for us."
"The Holy One is the Son of Heaven, the Heaven..." The accompanying eunuch wanted to say more, but was stopped by Fang Xiaoru, and Emperor Jianwen's face was even more ugly, because these five people who had the right to speak out and keep silent about the law, let him Recalling the tragic experience in Beiping City a few years ago, he was intimidated by such a group of people.
"The five master technicians have unique skills, and our government also values talents. If these five are willing to stay, they will be put to great use in our government." Fang Xiaoru said with a sincere face.
"Stop, stop, stop." The veteran technician waved his hands repeatedly and said: "We are citizens of Beipingxing Province and enjoy unlimited rights. If we are not good citizens, why should we come here and wait for others? Our brains are not burned out. There is no need to reuse it. If so, don’t mention it, otherwise we won’t be blamed for leaving early.”
"You think we are fools if you want to sell us out just by saying "important words". If Mr. Wan hadn't come forward in person and asked us to come here to support your construction, we wouldn't be willing to come to this ghost place and suffer this cowardice."
Another technician glanced at the guards behind him and sneered: "Mr. Wan wanted to see us, and he came to invite us politely, but you just talked with knives. What do you think we are? Prisoners or hostages? You openly violated this rule?" We will definitely file a lawsuit regarding the Foreign Affairs Immunity Regulations and ask for justice."
Seeing that these five mechanics were so disrespectful, Fang Xiaoru's face turned from sunny to gloomy. Emperor Jianwen and other officials also had gloomy faces. This was a sign of the coming storm. However, the five mechanics were not afraid at all and turned around. He was about to leave, but the dozen or so imperial guards wanted to stop him.
"You dare to detain us, which is a blatant violation of the peace treaty. The Peiping Army will definitely seek justice for us. If you want to provoke a war, just touch us." The experienced mechanic glanced at the dozen or so Jin Yiwei. , and added: "In view of your unilateral breach of contract, we now have the right to request a return to Peking."
The five technicians immediately broke up with each other, and Emperor Jianwen was about to get furious. Fortunately, Qi Tai, who was on the side, quickly thought and came out to talk to Ni Ni: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is just a misunderstanding. Your Majesty invited five of you here to reward you heavily." Five, five of you have made great contributions to the establishment of the iron smelting plant in our country, and you should be rewarded. It's just that the servants didn't understand the Holy Spirit's clear intention, which caused a misunderstanding."
As soon as Qi Tai said these words, the officials from the Ministry of Industry present also came to their senses and realized that if the iron smelting plant wanted to produce normally, it would still need these five technicians, so they hurriedly agreed: "Yes, this is just a misunderstanding. It was a misunderstanding, please don’t take offense, five of you.”
All the officials said so, but Emperor Jianwen was furious and wanted to pull down and kill these five guys who didn't give him face. However, before he could give the order, Fang Xiaoru grabbed his sleeve and shook his head. Signaling him not to move lightly, Emperor Jianwen suddenly regained his rationality: It would be easy to kill these five people, but the consequences would be disastrous.
"We don't care whether this is a misunderstanding or not, we demand to return to Peiping now. The iron smelting plant has been established and we have fulfilled our stipulated obligations. You have no right to stop us." The leader of the veteran technicians still insisted on leaving.
"This, this..." Du Ze, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, became anxious and said hurriedly: "The iron smelting plant has just been established and is not yet in normal production. Five people are still needed to provide guidance."
"We will not stay here anymore. If you want technicians, you can apply to Mr. Wan again. Since you are so mean and imprison the technicians like prisoners, I believe Mr. Wan will not send any more technicians. You can take care of yourself." The five technicians handed over their hands and turned around to leave. The guards wanted to stop them, but they glared at them and hurriedly made way for them.
"Rebellion, rebellion, a group of lawless villains with no king and father!" Looking at the backs of the five people turning away, Emperor Jianwen finally jumped up.
However, he was still angry. He really couldn't do anything to these five mechanics, because Wan Lei was known as a calf protector. If he used these five mechanics at this time, the craziest ones waiting for the Ming Dynasty would be the Peking Army. revenge.
