Chapter 57 The Laiyang Zhang family framed and massacred the people

Chapter 056

The iron needs to be struck while it is hot, and the same is true for vertical cold casting to produce seamless steel pipes. As long as there are no problems in the first well, there will be no problems after the mold is completely preheated by the molten steel.

After the production of steel pipes in the first well was completed, these craftsmen set up the molds as quickly as possible, and before the molten steel in the blast furnace was completely discharged, production started again in the second well.

After the production of steel pipes in the four wells, there is no chance at all. The high-manganese molten steel in the blast furnace has been exhausted. It will take the day after tomorrow to make another furnace of steel.

As the blast furnace began to be successfully put into operation, the production of armed equipment of Cheng Shijie's Ordnance Bureau, Armored Crossbow Bureau, and Guns and Artillery Bureau was completely revitalized, and it was no longer possible for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

"Master Guards, should we build another blast furnace?"

"One house is not enough!"

Cheng Shijie pointed to the blast furnace and said: "At least ten!"

"But we don't have that many craftsmen!"

"Then recruit refugees!"

"The price of food has risen now. One stone of food now costs seven coins!"

Cheng Shijie smiled lightly and said: "We will not be short of money. These two iron mines are like golden chickens that can lay eggs!"

Now a blast furnace can produce about 150,000 kilograms of steel a month. According to the current iron price, that is an output value of 15,000 taels of silver.

In addition, there are furniture factories, carriage factories, briquettes factories, stove factories, textile factories, quilt factories, and agricultural tool factories. As long as domestic demand is met, profits can be made. Cheng Shijie, who owns iron ore, can completely cut prices to seize Shandong's market.

Iron market.

A big businessman like Gu Shizhang could exchange iron for food. Although wars broke out frequently in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the south was relatively quiet because the impact of the Little Glacier weather was limited.

"Papa..."

A new day begins with the beating of Zhang Huairen from Sanshan Mountain.

The beatings during this period finally made Zhang Huairen become honest. As expected, Zhang Huairen was just pretending to be a tough guy. His toughness only meant that the beating was not harsh enough.

Just when Cheng Shijie used Zhang Huairen to stretch his body and whipped him dozens of times, he went to have breakfast.

The backyard of Ning Haijun's garrison mansion now has a larger population. In addition to the two adopted daughters Cheng Jingjing and Cheng Anning, as well as the two adopted sons Cheng Shi and Cheng Hu, plus Chen Guodong, Jin Qiaoer and Xueer, naturally there are also

Thanks to Yang Yunniang who refused to leave.

At first, Cheng Shijie really wanted Yang Yunniang to leave. After all, it was no big deal to have a charlatan by his side.

However, the problem is that as soon as this matter is mentioned, Yang Yuniang will jump into the river with Jiaxin in her arms, although it is not sure whether Yang Yuniang will actually commit suicide. Later, Cheng Shijie discovers that Yang Yuniang is actually literate, but Cheng Shijie has no one to help him.

He just made do with letting Yang Yuniang manage his internal accounts. She never expected that Yang Yuniang was very keen on numbers. In just three days, she found more than a dozen problems in dozens of account books, some of which were caused by the accountant trying to steal Cheng Shijie's money.

, and some are due to work negligence.

In this way, Cheng Shijie kept Yang Yunniang.

Anyway, Cheng Shijie positioned Yang Yunniang as the accountant. Even Jin Qiaoer, who was roughly literate in Braille and knew some simple calculations, became Cheng Shijie's accountant, and Jin Qiaoer became Yang Yuniang's assistant. And Xueer became the new cook, Cheng Shijie.

Pay them a salary.

Yang Yuniang received ten taels of silver per month, Jin Qiaoer received five taels of silver per month, Chen Guodong, the bodyguard, received the same five taels of silver, and Xueer, the cook, and his four adopted children each received two taels of silver per month.

"Father, please have a meal!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Cheng Jingjing and said, "Jingjing, call An Ning over too!"

Not long after, Cheng Jingjing and Cheng Anning came hand in hand.

"Meet my adoptive father!"

When Cheng Jingjing and Cheng Anning were adopted by Cheng Shijie, they were both skinny and skinny, but as their nutrition kept up, they both gained a lot of weight.

Especially An Ning, who is prone to obesity, and now she has developed a double chin.

Cheng Shijie said: "Sit down and let's eat together!"

"this……"

"We are a family!"

Cheng Shijie mused: "I'm going to discuss something with you two today!"

"Please give me your foster father's orders!"

Cheng Anning and Cheng Jingjing stood up.

"Don't be nervous, it doesn't have to be so formal!"

Cheng Shijie said: "You are not very old!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Anning looked at Cheng Jingjing beside her, and she puffed up her chest with pride.

Cheng Jingjing lowered his head with some humiliation.

"I can!"

Cheng Shijie said: "You still have a long life in the future. If you are illiterate and ignorant, you will suffer a lot in the future, so I want you to go to school!"

Cheng Jingjing was a little confused: "Women can also study!"

"OK!"

"What's the use of studying for a woman? She can't take part in the imperial examinations or become an official!"

"Is the goal of studying just to become an official?"

Cheng Shijie said seriously: "If you think this way, you will fall behind. Reading and studying is first of all to increase your knowledge!"

"But, where are we going to study?"

"This house is very big, so let's open a girls' school in the backyard!"

Cheng Shijie muttered: "Let Yun Niang teach you how to read and write first. In the future, my adoptive father will look for a literate gentleman!"

Bandits like to rob the female relatives of wealthy families, perhaps to satisfy the indescribable sense of accomplishment. Among the women rescued from Zhensanshan, three of them came from official families, and one of them was the daughter of an official in Qingzhou Prefecture. It's just a pity.

The woman was rescued and wrote a letter to her family. After receiving the letter, she became depressed and hanged herself while others were not paying attention.

At present, Ning Haijun is conducting a large-scale suppression of bandits and can rescue some educated women.

"I am willing to follow the arrangements of my adoptive father!"

Cheng Shijie found Yang Yuniang again and discussed with her about opening a girls' school.

But Cheng Shijie didn't notice that Cheng Anning was somewhat disappointed.

After Cheng Shijie left, Yang Yuniang sighed: "You two... are really awesome!"

"Don't talk about me, you are not the same!"

Cheng Anning lowered his head, feeling a little guilty.

Yang Yunniang looked at Cheng Jingjing and said, "Jingjing, go and call Qiao'er and Xue'er over!"

As Qiaoer and Xueer arrived, Yang Yuniang coughed and said, "I called you here today to tell me something."

In Cheng Shijie's backyard, Yang Yuniang unknowingly became the boss. Not to mention Zhou Yandong mistakenly thought that Yang Yuniang was Cheng Shijie's wife and concubine, even Jin Qiaoer and Xueer also caused such a misunderstanding.

Yang Yunniang is so deceptive. She holds Jiaxin in her arms, is luxuriously dressed, has extraordinary aura, and her aura is even more powerful.

Although the misunderstanding has now been resolved, Cheng Shijie asked Yang Yunniang to serve as the accountant and Jin Qiaoer as his assistant to follow her arrangements.

"My boss's family business is getting bigger and bigger, but my boss..."

Yang Yuniang smiled bitterly and said: "Aren't we women looking for a good husband in this life? With the identity and status of the boss, there is no hope for you to become step wives. Being a concubine is also a fortune. Once the mother is as valuable as the son in the future,

The opportunity is before you!"

Cheng Jingjing said timidly: "But the foster father..."

"It's not a close relationship, so what's the problem? You also crawled out of the dead and came to the Cheng family. What kind of life did you live? Do you still want to go back to the past?"

"Absolutely not!"

"That's right, it's up to you whether you can seize this wealth!"

Cheng Shijie didn't know that several women were thinking about him.

"Congratulations, Lord Guard, we won a big victory!"

"oh!"

When Cheng Shijie saw the victory report, he saw that it read: "Kill Lin Jingzong's subordinates and kill Lin Jingzong and below, a total of 463 levels."

Cheng Shijie looked at Shen Mingyu and said, "Where are the prisoners?"

"No... no prisoners. This battle was too tragic. Nineteen of the brothers were wounded and two died, so..."

Cheng Shijie naturally knew what was going on. In the past, he did deliberately not leave any rewards for prisoners, because he was only a member of a thousand households, and it was already very difficult to feed more than 14,000 people in a thousand households. There was no

The method takes into account the life and death of the bandits.

Although some bandits are good citizens who were held hostage, the problem is that whether these good people were coerced or voluntary, they committed a crime when they killed someone. It cannot be said that those who were forced can be released without charge.

"In the past, I was negligent in guarding and did not set a reward for the prisoners. I immediately informed the entire army that if the bandits surrendered, they needed to be screened. The nearby people were summoned on the spot to identify the perpetrators. After the screening, as long as they committed a trick and massacred the people
