When Haifeng saw Yinzhen's expression, he knew that the master was probably negligent. He also turned his mind quickly and said with a hurried smile, "Master, I only heard him mention this issue today." Seeing that Yinzhen was not angry, he said boldly: "Even so, it is better for craftsmen to select the most suitable iron material for casting cannons from them, find out the supply land, and then specialize in the iron material from which place it will save the trouble of refining."

Yinzhen slowly shook his head. He built an ironworks not just to cast cannons. Steel is the foundation of modern industrial development. His original intention of building an ironworks was to gather a group of experienced craftsmen and work together to promote steelmaking technology.[.]

Looking at Gu Mingkai, he asked curiously, "Have you studied iron smelting before?"

Gu Mingkai's face turned red and he said shyly: "No, I went to Shanghai to help manage the iron smelting plant. I only found books on this aspect, and I often asked the old craftsmen who smelting iron."

Yinzhen immediately reacted, "You mean, the craftsmen have also reported that the location of the ironworks is incorrect?"

"Yes, they first reported it to me. I checked a lot of information about this. Large-scale iron smelting must be made with a hydraulic blower, otherwise the temperature will not meet the requirements."

Yinzhen was not afraid of making a fool of himself at this time. If he didn't have good iron, he wouldn't have good cannons, so he threw his face to his grandma's house. "Let's go, let's go to the iron smelting plant together and listen to the opinions of those old craftsmen."

After a live symposium, Yinzhen made a decision on the spot and appointed Gu Mingkai as the general manager of the ironworks. Several old craftsmen also promoted them to be foremen. The new ironworks were inspected by him and several foremen, and each of them was rewarded with ten taels of silver.

Once he returned to Liuchunyuan, Yinzhen summoned all his subordinates and officials, carried out a profound self-examination, and avoided self-criticism, so as not to scare them. Then he mobilized them to go deep into every factory and construction site to discuss with the old craftsmen more and see what else needs to be improved? He also announced that those who put forward reasonable improvement opinions and were adopted would be rewarded with salary increase, reuse, and other rewards. At the same time, Gu Mingkai was regarded as a typical example, and promoted it extensively, encouraging all the children of famous families who came to Shanghai to learn his pragmatic spirit.

In fact, there is no need for Yinzhen to deliberately promote it. The relocation of Gu Mingkai and the Iron Smelting Plant was rumored at all construction sites within half a day. While everyone envied Gu Mingkai, they also began to look for it with a scrutiny perspective, seeing that there were still unreasonable areas. This opportunity was fleeting and others took the lead. The wages and treatment were a big difference.

With the publicity of Yinzhen's reward system, the entire Honggang launched a vigorous picking campaign, which made Yinzhen screen and discuss various suggestions from his subordinates and old craftsmen in various industries every night.

Although he was a little tired, Yinzhen still insisted on replying to every suggestion he made. Naturally, he would reward him. If he did not use it, he would have to write a reason in writing. This is respect and affirmation of them, and it is also an invisible encouragement. Moreover, this practice can bring them closer to the craftsmen. However, this made the scholars and teachers suffer and stayed up until midnight every day.

Yinzhen's approach greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of a group of craftsmen. The famous families who came to see Yinzhen doing good decisively and acting decisively, and they were all determined to appoint and promote personnel. They also calmed down and did their work with their hearts. Yinzhen did not take any extra care of them. They assigned responsibilities based on their respective strengths, and had good practice and thoughtful thinking. Once they found out, they would be promoted. If they were talented, they would not know whether they were talented.

The more than 200 royal family members who were temporarily stationed in Liuchun Garden originally thought that they had ended their hard days when they arrived in Shanghai, but they soon discovered that the hard days had just begun, and the training from Beijing to Shanghai was completely a pediatrician compared to now.

Yinzhen now divided them into four squadrons and twenty-one squadrons. The squadron leader and squad leader were all the top performers. The daily training plan for them was to get up at four o'clock (6 o'clock), then run for ten miles in the morning, eat breakfast, and then train for queues, swim training, rest for an hour, swim and queue training, eat dinner, and then missionaries teach English and go to bed at 9 o'clock. That night was unhappy, and another emergency gathering came in the middle of the night.

What's even more disgusting is that Yinzhen stipulated that the last five teams were in the last five days, responsible for cleaning, flushing toilets, and washing urine buckets for a month. The last three teams were collectively fired from the navy, and the last squadrons were trained for five days, with 30% more training.

From childhood to adulthood, these second-generation ancestors were served by several maids and servants. They were typical clothes and food, and they had never done these rough tasks? When they thought of going to brush other teams of urine buckets and toilets, their hair was standing up all over. When they returned to the capital, could they still raise their heads in front of others?

The teams immediately started their life-long training with the slogan "Don't brush the urine bucket, don't wash the hair toilet". The team and the squadron's sense of honor were unprecedentedly high. After a day of training, their bones all over their bodies seemed to be dispersed, but they had to learn birds singing. People often fell asleep while learning, so the consequences can certainly be imagined.

They can no longer describe Yinzhen in words now, and they don’t know which foreigner he learned these weird team fucks. They force them to practice every day, and they revolve around them if they have any problems. If they are a little dissatisfied, they will be physically punished and they will not care about family affection at all. No matter what kind of camp you are, they will all treat them as if they are. In the first few days, they still complained, and in the few days they will be numb.

Yinzhen was busy in Shanghai. On the first day of the fifth month, Kangxi took the crown prince Yinreng, the fourth son, Prince Heshuoyong, Yinzhen, the seventh son, the county prince Yinyou, the eighth son, the eighth son, the emperor's twelfth son, the prince Yinlu, the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, and the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, and the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, and the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, and the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelfth son, the emperor's twelf

However, the Jiangnan officialdom, which had been calm for half a year, was recurring. On the seventh day of May, last year, he was ordered to go to Jiangnan to investigate the former governor of Jiangsu Yisigong and the Minister of Revenue Zhang Penghong, who was the governor of Yu Jun's corruption case, submitted a memorial: Yisigong, the former governor of Jiangsu, extorted and consumed money and grain, and accepted bribes from subordinate officials. He should be hanged (hanged, but temporarily imprisoned, and left to be tried next autumn or court trial before making a judgment). The governor of Yu Jun lived in the same city, but did not issue impeachment and planned to be dismissed.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, Zhang Pengcheng submitted another memorial: When Yi Sigong was appointed as the governor of Jiangsu, he and the governor Yu Zhun had lost 461,000 taels of silver. He had already repaid more than 297,000 taels, and he still owed more than 164,000 taels. The money was strictly recovered within a specified period of time.

The Ministry of Justice responded to Zhang Penghong’s two memorials and agreed.

On May 19th, he was promoted to the Henan Censor Jin Shiyang and was appointed as the Jiangsu governor, and Chen Pengnian was still the governor of Suzhou.

As the news arrived, the news of the entire Jiangnan officialdom became nervous again.
