Iron Age

Liu Ziguang's class went very smoothly. The students were the accountants of the big factory, so they knew a little bit about it. Several senior staff members secretly praised this double-entry bookkeeping method as a pioneer, and it was extremely ingenious and leak-proof.It seems that this Liu Dai manager really has two brushes, and he is indeed a talent promoted by the eldest lady.The young apprentices also studied together. The young man named Ding Libin has a strong comprehension ability and memory.So Liu Ziguang appointed him as a follower, serving tea, transcribing materials, and managing the group of apprentices. It was like an assistant and a secretary. The young man was also very proud to be the follower of the previous manager, and worked very hard.

The eldest lady was slightly surprised that Liu Ziguang quickly settled Ren Dafeng, but she was more satisfied with the rapid promotion of the double-entry bookkeeping method. She took Liu Ziguang to visit from ore mining, to smelting, coking, steelmaking, casting, and forging tools. , weapons, sales, transportation and other operational links, when visiting the weapon assembly workshop, Liu Ziguang suddenly remembered that the middle school textbook talked about the capitalist exploitation method Taylor system, so he showed it off:

Select the skilled worker with the highest output, record the time and efficiency of each process, analyze every detail, remove redundant actions, formulate the most efficient labor method, and use this to determine the standard of output quota. different pay scales.

The eldest lady stopped after hearing this, and took a serious look at Liu Ziguang. This young man's proposals are always so beyond people's imagination, and they are so simple and easy to operate. Just changing some methods and systems can greatly increase the efficiency. It's worth trying.

"Mr. Liu, write me a detailed report later. In addition, you can remove the name of your accountant manager. The next step is to check the accounts. The production side will also rely on the husband in the future. The business is busy, and the husband has worked hard. Yes, from now on, you will receive a manager-level double salary, and you can freely enter and exit all production workshops."

Liu Ziguang hurriedly thanked him. "The subordinates will definitely do their best to repay the eldest lady's love."

Liu Ziguang has been imitating the half-literate speech of the ancients, and he didn't notice that when he said the word "love", the young lady's pink face flushed a little.

A few guards were wandering around casually behind them. Wudang Song Shaoxia, who voluntarily came to protect the eldest lady, fixed his eyes on the two of them, as if he was about to spew fire.

The Taylor system proposed by Liu Ziguang was the first to be tried in the weapon assembly workshop. Although the total wages increased, the number of products doubled.The eldest lady is very happy and wants to reward Liu Ziguang heavily.

When the eldest lady followed the patrol to the excavation team, all the slave workers saw Liu Ziguang coming, hit the ground with the tools in their hands, and shouted "952795279527". Liu Ziguang's deeds have spread to the slave workers and fighters Ears became idols in their hearts. Looking at the eager eyes of these former brothers, Liu Ziguang was moved, and secretly vowed that when he had great power in the future, he would definitely improve their living conditions and liberate these slaves.

In the secret room of the accountant, Premier Ding was having a secret conversation with a person.

"Missy appointed Liu Ziguang to thoroughly check the accounts. Ku Yin even installed someone as the head of the treasury. The omen is not good. Could it be that she has become suspicious?"

Prime Minister Ding was a little worried.

"That Liu Ziguang, isn't he a guard who was born as a slave laborer? Why did he run so fast? Could it be that he has some background, no matter who he is sent from, as long as he is the wing of the eldest lady, it will affect our plan, so we must find a way to get rid of it. " said the mysterious man.

"It's not easy. If something happens to him, I will definitely be suspected. Besides, this kid has a lot of skill, so it's not easy to kill him." Prime Minister Ding obviously has no knowledge in the art of killing people.

"You can't kill, you won't use other methods, don't forget your old man's good tricks... besides, the people above have already spoken, so we can't wait any longer. Take advantage of the factory owner's retreat and create an opportunity to complete your master's plan." Explain." The mysterious man grinned.

Late at night, in the inner house, in a wing room, after strenuous exercise on the bed, the two cuddled each other contentedly, "When you become a son-in-law in the future, you must treat him well." His face was pressed against Song Qingfeng's chest.

"Don't worry, my lord is willing to let you make the bed and fold the quilt. The position of the second young mistress is indispensable to you. However, the eldest lady has gotten very close to that thief and slave worker recently, in case the eldest lady loses her mind..."

"No, that Liu was born as a slave laborer after all, how can he get a hair of yours, son."

"I'm still worried, that slave laborer has a lot of ideas, and the eldest lady has already been dazzled."

As Song Qingfeng spoke, he teased Dongxiang's sensitivity.

"Then what do you say, I will listen to you..." Dong Xiangjiao panted.

Song Qingfeng turned over and held Dongxiang down, "Dongxiang, you are so kind..."

The New Year is coming, and the factory is full of lights and festoons. The goods for the New Year have already been arranged. Pigs, sheep, cattle, chickens, ducks, and fish are piled up in the kitchen. The servants set up a big pot to fry all kinds of pasta. They also received new clothes, fine noodles, steamed buns and meat to fill their stomachs.The only regret is that no one set off firecrackers.

On New Year's Eve, I still have to go to work as usual, but I should be so busy that I feel distracted and thinking about the upcoming long holiday.

Recently, Ding Pengyuan has shown great concern for Liu Ziguang, just like a kind elder caring for a promising nephew. Only a few people can enter the treasury to check, and every time they enter the treasury, more than two people must supervise each other. Liu Ziguang is fortunate to be the One of the important people who can get the key to the vault.

Liu Ziguang was the only one in the dormitory room. Recently, the eldest lady gave him a lot of clothes. He picked out a blue satin gown and was considering whether to wear it.Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and when it opened, it turned out to be Dongxiang, the eldest lady's maid.

This girl has never given herself a good face, as if she owes her something, why come here at this time?

"Mr. Liu, miss, please go to the side hall of the main hall to have a talk in advance. She will wait for you there in a moment. I have something to tell you about the banquet." Dongxiang said with a cold face and left.

Oh, it should be to prepare the lines for tonight's general banquet. Every year, the New Year's banquet must commend and promote many people.The eldest lady may be afraid that her words will not be rigorous enough to make a joke, so she specially explained it in advance.Missy is still considerate.Liu Ziguang sighed, just wear this blue silk shirt.

In the main hall, a large number of servants were busy arranging tables, chairs and meals, but there was no one in the side hall for the rest of the family members. Liu Ziguang walked excitedly, pushed the door in, glanced around, wondering, why is there no one?Suddenly a pair of warm and slippery arms embraced his neck from behind, Liu Ziguang was startled, pulled his arms and pulled him to the front, and suddenly found that the owner of these jade arms was Dongxiang!Dongxiang's pink ermine coat has been thrown aside, and the apricot satin jacket has also been torn open, her arms are exposed, and the silk ribbons are scattered, revealing the bright red belly wrapped inside.He was still reaching out to pull Liu Ziguang's belt.

Dongxiang shouted: "Come on, help!" The sharp high-pitched voice pierced the dusk.A group of servants and women swarmed over from the main hall, which was close at hand, and blocked the door of the side room. They were surprised to find that the nearest celebrity, Liu Ziguang, and the lady's maid, Dongxiang, were entangled in disheveled clothes. Seeing everyone, Dongxiang curled up in a corner, her hair was disheveled, and the rouge and gouache on her face were messed up by tears. She covered her chest with her coat, and pointed at Liu Ziguang, weeping uncontrollably.Everyone understood at once, and surrounded Liu Ziguang with all hands and feet.

Liu Ziguang didn't resist, and if he resisted again, he would be convicted of this crime. Now he can only count on the eldest lady to see clearly.Such an old-fashioned trick was also used against him. According to the shrewdness of the eldest lady, she should be able to find out the black hands behind the scenes.

After a while, the eldest lady heard the news and came to the scene, and the guests who came one after another also came to the main hall, and the door of the side room was tightly surrounded.Now even if the charges are cleared, there will be no shame left, Liu Ziguang is very depressed.

The eldest lady asked Dongxiang with a cold face what happened?Dongxiang sobbed and said that she was cleaning the tables and chairs in the side room when Liu Ziguang came in suddenly and made a provocative statement, saying that he would soon make a fortune, that he would enter the iron factory, marry the young lady as his wife, and take Dongxiang as his concubine in the future. She is contemptuous of her, but luckily everyone came in time, otherwise she would have lost her innocence and would no longer have the face to live on.

"Miss, please make the decision for me!" Dongxiang cried hoarsely.

"What's going on?" the eldest lady asked Liu Ziguang.

"This is clearly framed. It was Dongxiang who asked me to wait in the side room, saying that the eldest lady had something to say, but as soon as she entered the room, Dongxiang undressed herself and rushed over." Liu Ziguang explained.

There was a lot of discussion around, expressing their disbelief that a well-behaved girl like Dongxiang would do such an unbearable thing, it must be Liu Ziguang who got carried away and tried to insult Dongxiang in vain, and now he is still berating her, it is really hateful!To actually say such nonsense that he wants to marry the eldest lady is really an unforgivable crime!

Seeing that the crowd was excited and the dinner party was about to begin, the eldest lady ordered a few maids to help Dongxiang back to her room.Liu Ziguang also stopped attending the banquet for the time being, and went back to the dormitory to wait for investigation.

The dinner party started, and the main hall was full of mid-level and high-level officials of the iron factory, as well as some meritorious workers, technicians, and guards.Dazzling dishes were brought up like flowing water, and the jars of fine wine opened the mud seal, exuding an intoxicating mellow aroma.All the guests waited for the eldest lady to give a speech, and they exchanged glasses, and you came and went, drinking happily.

Near midnight, the children outside threw a large number of bamboo sticks into the fire, and there was a crackling sound. The sound of firecrackers is really the sound of firecrackers, and the whole hall is immersed in a festive atmosphere.

A man dressed as a guard hurried to the hall and whispered a few words in the ear of Ding Pengyuan, the chief accountant. Ding Pengyuan's face was greatly moved, and he hurriedly got up and walked to the lady in charge, and reported in a low voice: "Miss, the treasury was stolen, and all the banknotes are stolen. And part of the gold bricks disappeared!"

Rao is the young miss who has a strong psychological quality, and the wine glass was almost thrown out of her hand. That is millions of taels of silver. If the working capital is lost, the factory will stop running immediately, which has a lot to do with it!

The eldest lady stabilized her mind and asked what was going on. Ding Pengyuan said that when the guards were patrolling just now, they found the vault was wide open and someone moved it into the air. It is said that Liu Ziguang was the one who inspected the vault last.

The eldest lady immediately asked her servants to call Hu Xianjue, the captain of the inner house guard, over.After looking for someone for a long time, I didn't see Captain Hu at the banquet.

Just as he was wondering, Hu Xianjue came in from the outside in the same hurry, walked up to the eldest lady and reported in a low voice: "Dongxiang has been killed, and the suspect Liu Ziguang has disappeared!"
