Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 173 Competing for Recommendation (2 in 1)

The third day of the first month.

The whole family gathered in the porcelain house. Zhu Chuanwen had asked Xianer to bring good food and wine. Yesterday, Tan Yongqing's family came to pay New Year's greetings. Tan Gui is now a workshop leader of Hanyao Flour Factory. In Zhu Chunshan's Under the training, the work is done well, and the monthly salary is 8 silver dollars, which makes the Tan family very happy.

With the boss Zhu Chuanwen as his backer, Zhu Chunshan is also implying that Tan Gui, as long as he works hard, this position can still be promoted, but he has to rely on the name of Zhu Chuanwen's uncle to make trouble in the factory. Maybe he will become an ordinary worker.Tan Gui didn't take it seriously at first, but recently I heard that even Zhu Chunshan was dismissed for a week and his salary was deducted for a week.

It's also the division of duties, they are all farmers, and they are all simple and honest, there are not so many problems, and it is easy to use training and training.

The current Tan Gui can be regarded as an active member in the literacy class. No matter what the Tan family said, they are too generous, and they can still get the money for their children's enlightenment.

Porcelain House·Small Garden
"Little San, make me a sculpture too." This was Zhu Chuanwu's bluffing voice.

Since Zhu Chuanwu came back, the four little ones Xia Yuqing, Xia Yushu, Zhu Chuanwu, and Zhu Chuanjie have gathered together again. Now counting Zhu Xiaowan, they can be called five little ones. Running and playing in the porcelain house all day is considered quiet A china house adds a bit of fun.

"Second brother, this sculpture is not something you can do if you want to do it." Zhu Chuanjie picked up Fan Er at this time, and this brat obviously didn't want to do it, so he found an excuse.

"Hey! I'm putting on airs with your second brother." Zhu Chuanwu rolled up his sleeves, planning to give his younger brother some flair.

"Chuanjie, you can do it for the second brother!" Xia Yushu said good things for Chuanwu.

This made Chuanwu, who was about to make Zhu Chuanjie succumb, stop, and looked at the two of them teasingly.

Immediately, he poked Xia Yuqing with his elbow, Xia Yuqing looked helpless, what could he do, just like this, the two children's thoughts were clearly written on his face, anyone could see it.

Lang rides a bamboo horse to get around the bed to get green plums.

Living together in Changqian, the two little ones have no doubts.

It’s also a good story, isn’t it, Zhu Chuanwen is also waiting, and Xia Yuanzhang also said about this matter, wait for another two years, when the two children are 18, this matter will be officially settled, and this surveillance matter Zhu Chuanwen and Xia Yuanzhang have already arranged Gave it to Xia Yuqing.

No one could tell that Xia Yuqing's bushy eyebrows and big eyes were a good material for being a spy.

Anyway, Zhu Chuanjie and Xia Yushu didn't notice it.

When Zhu Chuanjie heard the words, he hesitated for a second, and then thought that he was ordering his second brother, and now the fight is completely invincible, even with Xia Yuqing's help, so he has earned himself being able to command Zhu Chuanwu.

Immediately, he said: "Second brother, look, you prepare the materials, and I will make them for you."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Chuanwu's lively mind moved, it seemed that Xia Yushu's words were really useful, it seemed that in the future, he would have a better relationship with Xia Yushu, and no matter what, he had to let the little girl stand by him more.

"Chuanjie, I have discovered your weakness." Zhu Chuanwu secretly felt refreshed, "Let's go to Xiaowan and prepare materials with my second brother." As he spoke, he picked up the 13-year-old girl and started to build a building in the small garden. I walked to the small shack where Zhu Chuanjie's sculpture materials were piled up.

Let's not mention the fun of the 5 little ones.

The Porcelain House welcomed all the New Year greetings. The arrival of Xia Yuanzhang, father and son, and Gu Ansheng added a new flavor of the year.

"Boss, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" Xia Yuanzhang clasped his fists and waved his hands as soon as he entered the door, saying auspicious words.

"Boss, all wishes come true!" Gu Ansheng said the same.

"Master Xia, please come in quickly. You, Lao Gu, too." Zhu Chuanwen greeted everyone at the door.

At the dinner table, Zhu Kaishan and his son accompanied him. After drinking for three rounds and eating delicious dishes, it was inevitable that they chatted about work.

"Boss, have you read the Beiyang Official Daily?" Gu Ansheng took out a January newspaper.

"What's the matter?" Bingcheng is far away. The January newspaper from Jinmen arrived in Bingcheng, and it was a little late. As the year approached, Zhu Chuanwen was busy calculating last year's income, so he didn't bother to read it.

"So, my boss, you have a bright eye..." Gu Ansheng flattered him as he said that.

"Okay, don't do this with me." Zhu Chuanwen smiled and interrupted Lao Gu's next words. Lao Gu is good at everything, but his mouth is always restless. Gu Ansheng blended into Xia Yuanzhang, The circle of Zhu Chunshan and the others is also simple, just relying on praise, whoever catches the praise, I have to say that Lao Gu is a bit socially aggressive.

Gu Ansheng didn't care, he couldn't get rid of this problem, and Zhu Chuanwen would interrupt him from time to time.

Zhu Chuanwen took over Lao Gu's newspaper. It turned out that from January 1907, the Qing government officially ordered the abolition of foot binding.

"Uncle Chunshan, look, it's a good thing I found out about this early." Zhu Chunshan accompanied Zhu Kaishan and Mr. Xia to drink, and also took the newspaper when he heard the words, maybe his face was red because of the wine .

Zhu Chunshan offended Zhu Chuanwen, there are all kinds of versions in the flour mill, some miscalculations were punished, some embezzled public funds, and so on.

But even Xia Yuanzhang and Gu Ansheng didn't know what it was, and Zhu Chunshan didn't say anything about it. It was the reinstatement of officials that calmed down the turmoil. It also reminded the old brothers of Yaozishan in the flour mill that it broke out again. Without enthusiasm for work, it can be regarded as a wrong thing.

"Okay, that's a good thing!" Zhu Chunshan praised the edict.

"Lao Gu, Uncle Chun Shan agreed. I think this matter should be published in our "Workers' Weekly". Don't forget to make it into vernacular." Regarding government orders, Zhu Chuanwen is not a pedantic person. We support what is right and oppose what is wrong. It is not so difficult to choose, but Zhu Chuanwen has the right to publish the government orders of the Qing government.

"Good boss, I'll let Qiao Hongguo take care of it." Gu Ansheng took a piece of beef and put it in his own mouth as he spoke, the matter was settled.

"Have you found the person in charge of the steel mill?" Zhu Chuanwen asked Gu Ansheng again, he also caught a piece of beef, and the few people chatted while eating and drinking.

"Not yet, Xu Shou, do you know?" Gu Ansheng put the newspaper at hand, and took it away when he planned to leave.

"Tell me." Zhu Chuanwen really didn't know this person.

"This is a strange person. In the Qing Dynasty, there are also people whose papers can be published in "Nature." Gu Ansheng smacked his mouth and began to talk...

Xu Shou, named Shengyuan, named Xuecun, was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu. If he is called by foreigners as a scientist, he is the first No.1 paper in Chinese history to be included in "Nature" until his death in 1884. There are 13 books on chemistry and technology compiled and translated. It has been more than 20 years before. It can be regarded as a banner in the scientific circle of the Qing Dynasty.

"So powerful." Zhu Chuanwen said with some surprise, "Nature" is now a top academic journal under the leadership of the UK, and the emergence of this journal is based on this positioning.In many scientific research fields, many of the most important and cutting-edge research results are published in "Nature" in the form of short messages.So Zhu Chuanwen couldn't help being amazed.

"It's not enough." Gu Ansheng said.

Xu Shou and another Qing scientist, Hua Hengfang, went to Anqing Nei Ordnance Institute to manufacture China's first steam engine.At the same time design and manufacture of ships.After Zeng Guofan's death, Li Hongzhang and other bureaucrats rushed to invite him to preside over their own enterprises, but Xu Shou declined politely. He was determined to devote all his energy to translating books and disseminating scientific and technological knowledge. to go.

Later, he founded Shanghai Gezhi Academy with Hua Hengfang and others, mainly displaying scientific instruments, holding scientific exhibitions, giving scientific lectures, discussing scientific knowledge, and popularizing science. It can be regarded as a scientific activity center at this time.

"Lao Gu, what do you mean, you are sure to invite me..." Zhu Chuanwen tentatively asked, Lao Gu started, this person is naturally related to Xu Shou, or has a relationship with this Shanghai Gezhi Academy.

"Well, he's Mr. Xu's student. His name is Qu Zhengqian. He used to study at Shanghai Gezhi Academy, and later studied gunpowder with Mr. Xu's son Xu Jianyin." Gu Ansheng said.

Gunpowder, this major is a bit wrong, Zhu Chuanwen thought to himself, and the expression on his face was seen by Gu Ansheng.

"Boss, Qu Zhenggan has been working in Sheng Xuanhuai's Hanyang Iron Works ever since Xu Jianyin's accident happened, but he can't understand Sheng Xuanhuai's large-scale introduction of relatives and old friends, and the company's selfishness and fraud. This year after year, it cannot make ends meet. I am the editor-in-chief of "Su Bao" I went back to my hometown in those two years, and was invited by a fellow student to be a teacher." Gu Ansheng said with some regret.

He and Qu Zhenggan were from the same township, so he knew what this person was capable of. Originally, he asked Zhu Chuanwen for permission. Today, Zhu Chuanwen happened to ask, so he simply talked about it.

"Hey, Sheng Xuanhuai." Zhu Chuanwen didn't have a good opinion of this representative of Westernization in the late Qing Dynasty. "Did this Qu Zhenggan agree to come?" Zhu Chuanwen asked with emotion.

"I don't know if I would like to come, but just to mention it, I have already written a letter." Gu Ansheng was a little embarrassed to see Zhu Chuanwen's question was so urgent. In the letter he sent, Zhu Chuanwen was written in a large space What Lao Gu said in Japan, Lao Gu believes that anyone with blood will definitely come back after seeing these things, but he really dare not guarantee it with Zhu Chuanwen, there is an exception to everything, isn't it?

"Then can Mr. Xu's son come?" Zhu Chuanwen asked. He just heard that something happened, so he didn't ask in detail. Zhu Chuanwen thought that such a mature scientist would be the best to use.

"I can't come anymore. In the year of Xin Chou (1901), the factory exploded and died. The Qu Zhenggan I'm talking about was also depressed for a long time before he went to Hanyang Iron Works at the invitation of his classmates." Gu Ansheng said.

"It's a pity~" Zhu Chuanwen also felt sorry for Mr. Xu Shou's son.

In fact, he didn't know that Xu Shou's son, named Xu Jianyin, was the first scientist who died in a scientific research position in modern China. If he was alive, he would be an old man by now, nearly 60 years old.

Moreover, since Xu Shou, the Xu family has been favored by the Westernization faction, and it is not a good thing to come here. Back then, they died in order to research smokeless gunpowder that would not be stuck by foreigners. Fortunately, the smokeless gunpowder was successfully developed, but in During production, misfortune happened.In recognition of Xu Jianyin's achievements, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of the two lakes at the time, asked the Qing court to give him a gift according to the example of the death of the admiral of the military camp. , It can be regarded as the same holiday with the country.

Now Zhu Chuanwen can only wait for Gu An to be promoted to this fellow countryman, who has work experience in Hanyang Iron Works, so Hanyao Steel Works is no problem.

Why do you say that? Recently, Zhu Chuanwen and Gu Ansheng collected the steel output of the Qing Dynasty. Only the Hanyang Iron Works accounted for more than 90% of the Qing Dynasty's annual steel production, reaching 100 to [-] tons, which is now Japan. The kind of [-]-ton steelmaking furnace that people are chasing after.

Therefore, Zhu Chuanwen is also looking forward to it now, hoping that this Qu Zhenggan can come.

There was a brief silence at the dinner table. There was too much information just now, and it took a while to digest.

"666 Ah!"

"Five leaders!"

On the other side of the dining table, brothers Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Chunshan were punching and drinking with Mr. Xia, it was very lively.

Zhu Chunshan is not stupid, but in business matters, Zhu Chuanwen can do whatever Zhu Chuanwen says. He rarely uses his own brain, so he drinks with his elder brother.

Mr. Xia was very happy at this time, Zhu Yanwang of Sanjiangkou was a junior in front of him, so comfortable!He could really brag with the old folks from Sanjiangkou.

Several people stared at them and punched for a while, Xia Yuanzhang said slowly at this time: "Boss, from what you two said, I also have two friends in Dalian." But he kept listening to the conversation between the two.

He has also heard about the establishment of a steel factory, and he also knows that Zhu Chuanwen now has coal mines and iron mines, and the equipment for the steelmaking plant is also complete. According to the restaurant, the materials are all ready, only a cook is missing.

Originally, Xia Yuanzhang thought that Zhu Chuanwen had taken care of everything, so he didn't inquire about it. There were also many things about the flour mill and the cigarette factory, so he couldn't take care of them.

"Tell me, shopkeeper Xia." The relationship between Zhu Chuanwen and Xia Yuanzhang is really unclear. Xia Yuanzhang's seniority is sometimes old and sometimes young, which is very uncomfortable, but no matter what, this is the first person who followed Zhu Chuanwen, and Zhu Chuanwen is also the most Rest assured that one of the few people.

"I recommend this person. They are a pair of brothers. The elder brother is Zhou Fu. He used to work as a fitter in the Lushun Shipyard Bureau. The younger brother is Zhou Gui. He is in the business of carriage parts. During the military disaster in Dalian, he also entrusted his master's blessing. I went to the countryside to escape without any injuries. Recently, Hanyao’s flour business expanded to Dalian, and I got news of the two brothers. They said they were going to open an iron factory.” Xia Yuanzhang said.

When Zhu Chuanwen heard this, it was okay. They planned to open an iron smelting plant, which showed that they were sure about the iron smelting business. Although the difference between steel and iron was a bit large, Zhu Chuanwen also planned to start the smelting of pig iron.

　Thank you for the information provided by the horizontal book friend, the greasy refill from a 30-year-old man, I will write it well ~ thank you!
