Chapter 534: Unexpected Gain

Wang Xiangling did hurriedly enter the palace after receiving the promotion order. He did not show his loyalty for thanking him, but knew that the Minister of Works at this critical moment was a hot potato. The military workshops in Shanghai and Tianjin were all included in the Ministry of Works, and the bannermen entered the military workshops in Tianjin. Not only did they have many things, but they were also in a hot situation. How dare he be negligent?

After receiving the imperial edict, he and his colleagues had a few words, then turned down the banquet and rushed into the palace to see the crown prince. He was both happy and worried along the way. The Minister of Personnel was promoted from the second rank to the first rank of Shangshu, which was a real super-transfer. From the second rank to the first rank was a huge threshold, and most officials could not break this threshold in their entire lives.

There are many second-rank officials in the capital, such as the governor of the local government. Chapter 534: Unexpected harvest of inspectors, governors, governors of the grain transport, governors of the river transport, and local governors who have not been given the title of Shangshu. However, there are only a few positions for first-rank officials, and the competition is fierce, it is conceivable that he is already seventy-two years old this year. It is enough to be able to be promoted to first-rank officials in his lifetime.

What worried him was that this promotion was that he became an important figure in the 14th Party, which was tantamount to pushing him to the forefront. Although the crown prince is at its peak now, he is a little sharp. Kangxi is now recovering well. Once he recovers, the battle for imperial power is inevitable. Kangxi has become a high spring and autumn, and it is unlikely that he will depose the crown prince again. At that time, the suppression may be the members of the 14th Party.

Furthermore, after all the military workshops were included in the Ministry of Works, although the power of the Ministry of Works increased greatly, the affairs would inevitably be busier, and it was impossible to expect the Secretary of Man Du to share his worries. As soon as he took office, he was facing such a big stall. I was really worried that this old bone could be supported. The Crown Prince has always been far-sighted. Even if he stuffed the bannermen into the workshop, it would be impossible to stop there. There should be subsequent actions, and he could not miss the Crown Prince.

After entering Yuqing Palace, Wang Xiangling rushed to Yinzhen for a few steps and knelt down and bowed to Yinzhen Chapter 534, and said, "My minister, Wang Xiangling, kowtowed to the crown prince." After the ceremony, he kowtowed respectfully and said, "The crown prince knows the kindness of the encounter. Even if he is crushed to pieces, he cannot repay him. He can only do his best to do his best to live up to the crown prince's kindness."

Yinzhen looked at Wang Xiangling quietly. He was famous for his poetry when he was young and wrote continuously throughout his life. He was a famous poet in the Qing Dynasty. He was a writer, but he was cautious and peaceful in his behavior and was older. He was not suitable to serve as the Minister of Works at this time. However, he was honest in his official position, did not hold on to talent, nor did he take credit for himself. He was good at promoting talents and rewarding the progress of the country. This is a great advantage.

After pondering slightly, Yinzhen said calmly: "Shi Zhuan doesn't have to be polite, get up, sit down and talk."

After Wang Xiangling thanked him, he sat down with his body and waited for him to settle down. Yinzhen said, "In the next few months, the Ministry of Works will definitely make you busy. Look at you in good spirits, but you can't be too tired. I don't have many people on hand, so I don't want you to be tired.

The military workshop is related to the logistics supply of the navy and the new guard army, and also to the livelihood of the bannermen. When you take office, you must be the first task. In the future, the entire Ministry of Works must persist and regard it as the first task for a long time.

The military workshop was not only included in the Ministry of Works of the Court, but it was not conservative and followed the official handicraft workshops, so that the bannermen could enter the military workshops, not only to solve the livelihood of the bannermen, but also to explore and innovate the official workshops and explore a mature workshop management system to achieve the goal of leading private workshops."

Speaking of this, Yinzhen deliberately paused, picked up the teacup and sipped a few sips of tea slowly. The bannermen entered the workshop and would inevitably play an immeasurable role in the future development of the Qing Dynasty. The bannermen not only had a special identity, but also had a high educational popularity rate, strong organizational discipline, and a strong sense of responsibility. It is still very feasible to train them into the first batch of industrial workers in the Qing Dynasty.

After entering the military workshop, the bannermen can try to implement a new management model and develop and introduce European advanced technologies in large quantities. Some of their own knowledge can also be gradually instilled into them. They have strong funds and can introduce new technologies in a timely manner. In addition, the mature management model will not worry about attracting talents, nor will they lag behind the development of Europe.

After hearing Yinzhen's last words, Wang Xiangling was shocked. He never expected that the prince's inspire the bannermen to enter the military workshop was the purpose of this! How to innovate the official workshop? Is there a problem with the existing management? It has not been managed like this for so many years, but no mistakes have been made.

After a brief pause, Yinzhen continued: "The existing official workshops are chaotic and rigid in management, and cannot be applied to military workshops at all, because military workshops not only require quality, but also pursue output, which requires the enthusiasm of workshop craftsmen to be greatly improved. As the saying goes, the world is bustling for profit and the world is bustling for profit. Silver and money are the most direct and effective ways to stimulate their enthusiasm.

The types of work, working hours, product quality, quantity, consumption of raw materials, and the defective rate of all of them must be linked to their wages, that is, paying for pieces according to work.

In addition, craftsmen must be divided into grades, and wages must be linked to grades, just like the grades and salaries of officials, to inspire their ambitions, because military workshops require skilled craftsmen for a long time. Cultivating a skilled craftsman not only takes time, but also requires a lot of raw materials. The way of temporarily hiring a casual worker is not suitable for military workshops."

After pondering for a moment, Yinzhen continued: "Brief people enter the workshop and are all apprentices for three months. The wages are calculated as one tael of silver. After passing the qualification, the wages are calculated as two taels of silver per month. Based on this as the base, the most advanced craftsmen are allowed to get twelve taels per month. If the apprentice still cannot pass the qualification for half a year, we will resolutely dismiss. We will not raise waste.

The rating of craftsmen must have a strict system and must be made public, and must be evaluated publicly. There are no ugly phenomena such as private delegation, transactions, and favors, in order to avoid damaging the enthusiasm of all craftsmen.

The military workshop produces all military ordnance, and they need to work harder in management. In addition, although the bannermen have many worries, they are not easy to manage. Therefore, they must have a detailed management system. Those who do not obey management and even the highest-level craftsmen will be fired.

When you first come into contact with a military workshop, you lack understanding. You can go to Tianjin to learn more and ask for opinions widely. You must not only solicit opinions from the workshop managers, supervisors, and masters, but also widely solicit opinions from craftsmen. For craftsmen with good performance, this palace will give them the reward for raising their priests at that time."

"Read the craftsmen?" Wang Xiangling couldn't help but ask in surprise. He held back the high salary in front of him, but he couldn't help but hear that he could not help but hear that he could not.

"What's wrong? Craftsmen are also unavoidable talents in the Qing Dynasty." Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "All systems formulated must be announced in the military workshop, and craftsmen must be organized to study and write the rewards for licensing. Military workshops must attract outstanding talents from the country with generous treatment and exceptional rewards. This system must be published in the Beijing News."

Wang Xiangling was stunned when he heard this. What would this military workshop develop in the future with such a large work by the crown prince? At this time, he did not dare to think too much, and quickly memorized the key points that Yinzhen had just said with sincerity.

After a pause, Yinzhen continued: "Man Du, the Minister of Works, was a member of the Huang Banner, who was transferred from the Zuodu Censor. He was cautious and would not share your worries or restraints. You just let go and do nothing. Whether it is a military workshop or a Ministry of Works, you must focus on discovering talents and promoting talents. Don't be afraid of being promoted. The entire navy is now promoted exceptionally, and it is not bad for the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Works has a lot of affairs and is messy. You are old and have limited energy. You should pay special attention to your body. If you can let go, please let the people below do it. Now, first make a clue about the General’s Workshop, and then slowly learn from the success of the Military Workshop.”

Wang Xiangling hurriedly bowed and said, "I respect the Crown Prince Jun Order." He raised his body and hesitated a little, then asked, "Crown Prince, is the expenses of the military workshop included in the Ministry of Works, or will it be additional expenses?"

"If the name is not right, the words are not right, so it will be included in the Ministry of Works." Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said, "However, don't mix with the original accounts of the Ministry of Works. Find capable and trustworthy people to manage them specifically. The amount of income and expenditure of the military workshop is huge, the accounts must be ** and must be kept confidential."

When Wang Xiangling heard that he had to keep it secret, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Should the prince still set up a private account? This matter is too much, so he dared not ask too much, so he hurriedly bowed to agree.

When Wang Xiangling bowed and withdrew, Yinzhen got up and moved for a while, and then slowly walked up in the hall. The bannermen entering the military workshop will trigger a series of chain reactions. The first thing that is affected is the social status of craftsmen. They will no longer be despised and despised. The military workshop attaches importance to craftsmen, especially high salaries and the promotion of flag-bearing citizenship, will surely turn more and more idle people who have no way out into craftsmen.

Furthermore, the miscellaneous studies, mathematics and Western learning, which are closely related to craftsmen, will also flourish. Nowadays, people are prosperous and literary style is prosperous. It is undoubtedly becoming more and more difficult to pass the imperial examination and enter the officialdom. Once every three years, tens of thousands of people can pass the imperial examination, and only more than 300 people can pass the imperial examination. On the contrary, the ranks of juren are increasing year by year, and many people are still born in the child throughout their lives.

The court now attaches importance to agriculture and craftsmen. Not only does it raise their social status, but it also has generous treatment. It will inevitably attract some scholars to study miscellaneous studies, mathematics and Western learning, in order to be able to make a name for themselves in agriculture and handicrafts. In a bad way, it is much better than teaching children in private schools. In this way, the newly built Western learning in various places will inevitably be very popular and there is no need to worry about being treated coldly.

These benefits and influences are really beyond Yinzhen's expectations and are considered unexpected gains. (To be continued)
