The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 404 Missing People
"What, Xun'er? No, no, no." Yu Chigong shook his head like a rattle, and said:
"You said it all, the steam airport needs to be watched all the time. What does she look like when she shows up in public every day?"

Chen Jingke had expected this a long time ago, and said to Cheng Yaojin, "Uncle Cheng, it's your turn now."

Cheng Yaojin pointed at him and clicked again, and after a long while, he said: "You have also learned badly, you dare to plot against me."

Chen Jingke said aggrievedly: "When did I plot against you? Think about it carefully. Did I say anything? Didn't you say it all?"

"Bah." Cheng Yaojin spread his hands and said, "I don't care, what do you love?"

Chen Jingke really had no choice but to say to Qin Qiong, "Uncle Qin, now it's your turn to uphold justice."

I thought he would refuse, but when he heard this, he nodded and said: "I also think Mrs. Xue is a good candidate."

Yuchi Gong frowned, and said: "Shu Bao, why are you fooling around with him?"

After being recognized, Chen Jingke's voice became louder, and he said: "Uncle Yuchi is an old tradition. What kind of women can't show their faces. Does Tang Dynasty have such a rule?"

"Princess Pingyang Zhao can command the army as a daughter, and she will be buried with military ceremonies after she dies. What's wrong with letting sister-in-law Xue come out to manage the steam airport?"

"Before she managed the restaurant business quite well, and the eight restaurants were managed in an orderly manner without any mistakes."

Yu Chigong said proudly: "Naturally, I personally chose this grandson-in-law, she is both talented and virtuous."

Chen Jingke said while the iron was hot: "Yes, she has this ability, what are you afraid of. Besides, brother Xunyu is not in the capital when he goes out to lead troops, and the child will be taken care of by a nanny when he grows up. Isn't it boring to keep her at home?"

"It's better to find something for her to do, so as not to stay at home for a long time and cause conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Yu Chigong was a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant.

Qin Qiong on the side took it seriously and said: "Jing Ke's words are insightful, and I am a little moved by what I said."

"How about letting Yue'er go with Mrs. Xue? The sister-in-law can also take care of her."

Yu Chigong muttered: "The co-authors are all women from our family showing their faces."

Qin Qiong was not happy anymore, and said: "What do you call a woman from your family? When Yue'er marries into our family, she is a member of our Qin family. Don't be shameless."

Yu Chigong also said angrily: "Bah, no matter who she marries into, it's my Yu Chigong's bloodline. Why, you have the ability to cut off the bloodline."

Qin Qiong said speechlessly: "Old idiot, there's so much nonsense. Just one word, do you agree with this matter or not?"

Yuchi Gong said angrily: "I agree, whoever disagrees is the grandson."

What Chen Jingke saw was a joy, and it was done.

Not only did they ask Xue Xun to come over, but they also abducted Yu Chiyue along the way.

Although Yu Chiyue did not show a particularly strong ability in management due to his age.However, the granddaughter of the Duke of Guo has not received a bad education since she was a child, and the most basic principles are reasonable.

Going to the factory to help Xue Xun watch together, he can always play his role.

The point is, with her in Yuchi Gong, there is no need to worry about Xue Xun's problems.

After all, with his granddaughter accompanying him, the possibility of problems is too small.

Now that the matter was settled, he was afraid that Yu Chigong would return, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.

Going back to Zixiao Temple, he told Wu Shu what happened just now, and said proudly: "How, this real person played all three old foxes, it's amazing."

Wu Shu covered his mouth and laughed.

Chen Jingke said angrily: "Why, is it so difficult to praise Ben Zhenren for being great?"

Wu Shu laughed louder, and after a while he said: "Yes, yes, my real person is really powerful, he was played around by three old foxes."

Chen Jingke was very proud at the beginning, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt wrong. She used 'quiet' instead of 'handle'.

The difference of one word, the meaning can be completely opposite.

He said unconvinced: "No, tell me clearly, why are they playing tricks on me?"

Wu Shu managed to stop laughing, and said, "They don't know how important Gephysics is? They don't know what the steam engine represents?"

"The restaurant business seems to them to be a small business, and it is a training for a few juniors to take care of it."

"Steam Airport is such an important factory, they will rest assured that they will not interfere? They want to squeeze people in more than anyone else, but they are afraid that you will be unhappy, so they don't act."

"Now you take the initiative to go to them to discuss this matter, wouldn't you fulfill their wish?"

Chen Jingke shook his head and said, "No, isn't Mrs. Xue and Sister Yue'er going to manage the steam airport in the end?"

Wu Shu said affirmatively: "Just wait, they will definitely arrange several capable stewards for Sister Xun and Sister Yue'er."

"Nominally, the two of them are in charge of everything, but actually everything is done by the steward."

Hearing this, Chen Jingke didn't understand. He jumped angrily and said, "Three old things, dare to plot against this real person. I won't shed a tear when they die."

"Haha..." Wu Shu laughed again, his real person was so much fun.

Chen Jingke wasn't really angry, and it wasn't that he had nothing to be angry about because of digging a hole. He returned to normal after a few words of complaint.

"If they have a suitable candidate, they can just recommend it to me. How can I refuse?"

Wu Shu shook his head and explained: "For such a big matter, do you think they really trust those in charge?"

"Let's not talk about being in charge, even the children of the concubine are not trustworthy at this time. Uncle Yuchi has two adult concubine sons. Do you see him mentioning this?"

"The only adult son of the Qin family is Boss Qin. If he wants to pursue an official career, he can't get involved in the steam workshop."

"Yuchi's family only has Yuchi Baolin as a direct son, but there are three direct grandchildren, but two of them can't be reused."

"The three sons of the Cheng family, the eldest son can't interfere in this matter even if he is in an official career; the second son of Cheng can't get away while he is working in the academy, and the third son of Cheng is too young to come out to do things."

"What's more, Cheng's second child is already the head of the academy. It's a good thing that his family can't take over. The stewards of the steam airport can only come from the Qin family and Yuchi's family."

"In this case, letting Sister Xun take charge of the steam airport is the best choice. She is smart and insightful, and has experience in managing restaurants."

"Sister Yue'er came out on behalf of the Qin family, but she is still young, and she mostly stays with Sister Xun to avoid her embarrassment and to avoid spreading gossip."

"The most important thing is that you have a good relationship with them. It will be convenient to communicate with you in the future, so as not to affect the relationship of the four families for unnecessary reasons."

"And Sister Xun and Sister Yue'er don't need to do everything themselves, and hand over the work to the stewards below. They only need to manage these stewards well."

Chen Jingke was dumbfounded, and said: "Is it necessary for a broken steam engine factory to be so complicated? Their mental activities are enough to write a book."

But Wu Shu said: "Getting along with people is the most difficult thing, especially the alliance of different forces is even more difficult."

"If you are not careful, any small matter may become a fatal flaw. It is necessary for them to be so cautious."

At the same time, she also added in her heart, after all, not everyone has the ability to turn the table to start another game at any time like you.

Hearing this, Chen Jingke sighed, and said, "Maybe I'm too naive, I always think the problem is too simple."

Wu Shu was trying to comfort him.

But he suddenly held her hand and said gratefully: "So I am very glad that I can meet Master and you. Without your help, I dare not imagine what I would be like now."

Wu Shu also held his hand instead, and said emotionally: "I am also very grateful to the heavens for allowing me to meet you."

……

Sure enough, as Wu Shu said, when Xue Xun and Yu Chiyue came to the factory, they brought a whole team with them.

All are the most elite confidantes of the three companies, which shows how much they attach importance to the steam engine factory.

But fortunately, these people are very clear about who is talking, and they are very respectful to Chen Jingke.

Xue Xun and Yu Chiyue naturally took his meaning first: "We don't know much about steam engines, just tell us what you need to do, and we will do everything you say."

Chen Jingke was not polite either, and said, "There are two things to do now. The first is to recruit people, to recruit a group of stable and reliable workers."

"I will send people to provide them with the most basic training, teach them literacy, learn basic mathematics, and master the use of various tools."

"The second is to import raw materials. The steam engine needs a lot of iron and copper. You have to find a way to buy them."

"Remember, don't raise the price of iron too high, otherwise it will not benefit us or the common people."

Xue Xun said: "It's easy to handle, I can order the people below to do it right away... It's just that we don't know how to build a steam engine, and a master craftsman is needed to direct it."

Chen Jingke said: "You just need to take care of the logistics support, and I will find someone to take care of the production."

"You don't have to worry about sales, our factory hasn't been built yet, and the orders have already been scheduled for ten years."

This is not an exaggeration at all. When they learned that they were going to build a steam engine factory, many people came to order.

This thing is really easy to use.

Afterwards, Xue Xun and Yu Chiyue began to arrange their stewards to divide into three batches and get busy.

A batch went to purchase various living materials to provide logistical support for everyone.

A group went to recruit workers.

A batch to purchase copper and iron and other required materials.

Chen Jingke was not idle either, and called all the stewards of the various workshops to the academy for a meeting.

"The purpose of calling everyone here today is to formulate unified factory management rules to avoid management chaos."

As he spoke, he took out a thick stack and distributed it to everyone, saying: "This is the template I made, you can take a look."

Everyone took it and flipped through it. Some people frowned after reading the beginning, and couldn't help it anymore after turning a few pages.

Zhang Yongye said: "Chen Zhenzhen, this condition is too generous, right? You work eight hours a day, and you have to pay three times the salary for overtime. You can control your food and housing, work for five days and rest for two days."

"If you are injured, you have to pay for the treatment at the factory...We are not looking for someone to work here, we are looking for a father."

Others also said: "Yes, yes, this is so generous, I want to go to work."

Chen Jingke looked at the excited crowd and said, "Do you think the conditions are too good? Some people say that he wants to go to work?"

"How about this, who here wants to work in the factory, I will pay you double the salary, would you like to go?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to borrow this word.

"What? Don't you think the factory's salary is high now?"

Jiao Chengze whispered, "Our identities are not comparable to those coolies."

Chen Jingke frowned, and said displeasedly: "What is your identity? Do you want to take out the household registration book and see if your household registration book is the same as other people's?"

"It is written in our Taoist classics that everyone is equal...there may be differences in identity, but they are equal in personality."

"You are also the head of the Taoist side, and the research on classics is so poor, how can you teach and manage the people below?"

Jiao Chengze's face was ugly, and he was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to refute.

Chen Jingke glanced around the crowd and said, "I know you all think the same as him, and I don't want to talk to you about any big reasons."

"Let's put the reality on the table... The factories we are going to build now are all new. We need to introduce brand new equipment and tools..."

"The previous way of working is not suitable for this place... What is needed here are skilled craftsmen..."

"Such craftsmen are treasures everywhere. You don't want to treat them better and keep them. Aren't you afraid that someone else will pay a high price to poach them away in the future?"

Many people still showed expressions of disapproval. They didn't believe the new factory or the skilled craftsmen at all.

To put it bluntly, they don't even know what the mode of operation of a modern industrial factory is.

Chen Jingke naturally understood this, so he said, "Okay, I'll show you a few things."

After speaking, he took everyone to see the heating boiler factory, pointed to the whole set of equipment and said, "This thing, can craftsmen without skills make it? Don't talk about making it, can they operate it?"

He took them to the workshop of the academy and saw a group of students who were making steel looms.

The situation here is more complicated. There is only a thick stack of blueprints, and they are confused.

All kinds of measuring tools are complete, many of which have never been seen, let alone used.

They saw with their own eyes that a very delicate part was scrapped and remade with an error of only one tenth of a millimeter.

Such strict requirements really frightened them.

Xue Xun was also surprised and said, "Have your requirements always been so strict?"

Cheng Huailiang walked over and said, "You have all seen how powerful the steam engine is, and any problems with its parts will be magnified."

"At that time, the machine will be scrapped, or it will cause a major accident, or even death...so the standard has to be set higher."

"The same is true for your new factories. As far as I know, most of them will use brand new steam engine equipment..."

"Even if the old method is used at the beginning, the new equipment will gradually be used later..."

"If a group of qualified skilled workers cannot be trained, it may be difficult to even start work."
