Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

Tong Ran: "If you have anything to say, just say it boldly."

Ke Yang put away the document, put it back on the table, then knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, you are far-sighted."

Tong Ran continued to tear the chicken for the little tiger to eat: "Don't flatter, just say what you think."

Ke Yang raised his head, but Tong Ran said: "This is my idea. Sir, reform the system, increase salary and other benefits, and cancel the inheritance system and lifetime system at the same time. The miners' sense of urgency and enthusiasm for work will greatly increase. As far as mining areas are concerned It's a good thing."

Tong Ran couldn't help but look at him more.The reform of the regulations in the mining area will definitely lead to some changes. Previously, Shang Jiang used Ke Yang and other people to stabilize people's hearts. They are familiar with these things, and now they just need to use them, so he called Ke Yang over.

Tong Ran: "That's for the mining area. Ordinary workers don't care about the mining area."

Ke Yang: "The workers will be good if the mining area is good. The mining area under Shang Jiang has an inheritance system and a lifetime system, but it is not good."

Tong Ran smiled. He originally wanted to call Lao You, because he could see that Lao You was quite prestigious among those people, but Lao You was old after all, and Tong Ran still wanted some young, strong, capable people. A talent who has followed him for a long time.This Ke Yang is so transparent, he really didn't let him down.

Ke Yang clasped his hands again and said: "But my lord, the abolition of the inheritance system is a major event, and the increase in salary alone may not be easy to appease the anger of the public."

"You want to seek more benefits for them?" Tong Ran said.

Ke Yang pursed his lips and did not speak, as if acquiescing.

Tong Ran: "If you want more benefits, you have to make achievements first. After you go back today, let the news out, and tell the supervisor that the adults have the idea of ​​laying off workers. Don't take it for granted, let alone arouse public anger, but hang on to it." raise their hearts."

Ke Yang: "My lord wants to...give everyone an extremely bad expectation, and then..."

Tong Ran didn't explain, but just said: "You just do as I tell you. I can tell you the truth. In my hands, Jin Hejian will definitely be better than ever, and those who work hard will be better than ever. get what they deserve.”

Ke Yang: "Yes, my lord, don't worry, Ke Yang will definitely complete the task entrusted by your lord."

Tong Ran smiled: "I didn't entrust you with anything, but a few gossips about the situation in the mining area made you realize something was wrong."

Ke Yang understood immediately.After Tong Ran waved his hand, Ke Yang left.

After going out, Ke Yang realized that his clothes were wet with sweat.

In fact, Tong Ran is not a terrible person, and his attitude towards them is much more friendly than Shang Jiang, but those people whom he ransacked all over his family before finally left a shadow on Ke Yang, which made him a lot more cautious when facing Tong Ran.

Inside the house, Tong Ran had torn the roast chicken down to a skeleton.He put down the chicken skeleton, wiped his hands, and wiped the paws and mouth of the little tiger.

After Ke Yang left that day, there were rumors that Tong Ran was about to lay off workers in the mining area.

Ke Yang did it smarter than Tong Ran expected. He probably found some helpers. The rumors were true, but no one could tell the exact source.In this way, everyone both believed and doubted, and nothing major happened, but the string in their minds was tightened after all.

Tong Ran looked at the document handed over by the officials above. After the rumors spread, the output of the mining area increased by [-]%, which was a surprise.

"It's better that I don't move the new rules, it's good." When Ke Yang came again, Tong Ran said casually.

"My lord, don't be joking." Ke Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This rumor can be useful for a while at most, but if it goes on for a long time, everyone won't take it seriously."

Tong Ran smiled: "Of course I know."

The next day, Tong Ran issued a document abolishing the lifelong employment system and inheritance system for workers in the mining area, causing an uproar in the entire mining area.However, before they could react, a new document arrived, and the miners hardly dared to look at it, thinking that the document would actually increase their wages.

Not everyone in the mining area can read and write, most of them don't. People who can read read the posted new regulations before reading them aloud.

"Six taels per month? Did you read it wrong?"

"Ke Yang's eyes are so good, you can't make a mistake! It's a whole lot more than before!"

"Ke Yang! What do you mean by double salary at the end of the year?"

"That is, two salaries will be issued in the month at the end of the year."

"Everyone posts? How can there be such a good thing!"

"What's the performance?"

"Yes, yes, and that..."

As soon as the new regulations came out, they were full of new terms. Ke Yang got Tong Ran's guidance in advance to explain them one by one.

All the workers in the mining area were overwhelmed by the rumors of layoffs, but now they heard the salary increase regulations, and they were all happy.As for the abolishment of the inheritance system and the lifetime system, although some people are dissatisfied, it is still more attractive to send the money in front of you. Coupled with Ke Yang's deliberate guidance, this reform did not arouse any negative emotions after all. passed.

The progress of Sang Le and Gu Lan was also very smooth. The villagers of Heishi Sixth Village originally resisted the relocation, and they didn't know what methods they used, but they gradually agreed.

There are a total of 520 households in Heishi Six Village, and now 490 households have agreed to the relocation plan, and the signed and pledged contracts were sent back to Jinhe Supervisor, and Tong Ran didn't even have time to read them.

"Holly." Tong Ran came out of the room and called in a low voice.

Dongqing stayed in the ear room, and trotted over when she heard the noise.

In the past few days, the little tiger has started to lethargy again. He sleeps until almost noon every day. After eating, he often falls asleep at Weishi, Shenshi, and Youshi.Tong Ran sent someone to invite a doctor, and the doctor said that the little tiger was fine, so Tong Ran had no choice but to let it sleep.

"Zizai will sleep until noon, and you will watch outside the door. Add an egg for lunch, but don't eat too much meat, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to sleep after saving food." Tong Ran instructed.

Dongqing leaned back and said, "The villain remembers, and will definitely take good care of Master Hu."

Tong Ran's mouth twitched, almost laughing.

This Dongqing is also a wonderful person, she gave the little tiger such a nickname within two days of her arrival.Every day he shouted in and out of the courtyard, Master Tiger, Master Tiger, and everyone in the government office heard it. Now many people call him Little Tiger.

The little tiger seems to understand, and will roar when he is happy, and he has the right to answer.

"Then you...just watch it." Tong Ran suppressed a smile and left.

He left the inspector's mansion and went directly to the mining area.

In the carriage Tong Ran was sitting in, he could see Ke Yang waiting for him outside the mining area from a distance.

"My lord." When Tong Ran got out of the car, Ke Yang came up to bow his hands and saluted, and said at the same time, "The inside is ready, and the furnace can be turned on when the lord comes."

Because the demolition of Heishi Six Village was handed over to Sang Le and Gu Lan, and the implementation of the new regulations in the mining area was also implemented smoothly because of Ke Yang's relationship, Tong Ran was free to draw a series of design drawings, one of which was already After it is done, it is the new blast furnace that will be used today.

This is a design made by Tong Ran with reference to the current technological level of modern blast furnaces and Dacheng. The inside is made of refractory bricks and the outside is made of iron. , to add oxygen to the blast furnace.

"The load of coal sent by Mr. Sang has been roasted into coke." Ke Yang led Tong Ran to the smelting workshop, and said at the same time.

Tong Ran nodded.In addition to designing a new type of blast furnace, Tong Ran also adjusted the way of smelting.

In traditional ironmaking, charcoal and iron ore are put into a furnace to burn, so that the carbon in the charcoal reacts with iron, and finally cast iron is obtained.Charcoal is burned from trees, and ironmaking requires a lot of charcoal, so the demand for wood is very large.

Longyou is short of water, and the vegetation is naturally not abundant. The pig iron production here is low, and the mineral deposits are not valued, which is inseparable from this.

Coal also contains carbon, but if it is directly used for ironmaking, there will be too many impurities, and the iron produced will be like scrap iron. Therefore, it must first be roasted with fire to make coke and then be smelted with iron ore.

After Sang Le arrived at Heishi Sixth Village, he followed Tong Ran's instructions to transport a carload of coal back.After the miners were stabilized, Tong Ran took Ke Yang and others to test the baking of coke.This job is not difficult, and now Ke Yang and the others are very proficient.

Tong Ran entered the smelting workshop, and he personally supervised the construction of the new blast furnace, which had already been built yesterday.A cart of coke and a cart of iron ore are also prepared at the side, and they can be baked in the oven when ordered by Tong Ran.

"My lord, the condition of the new furnace has been checked, and the raw materials are already in place. Just wait for your lord's order to start the furnace for iron smelting." Lao You saw Tong Ran and went forward to salute and report.He is an old man in the smelting workshop, and Tong Ran sent him to take charge of Xinlu.

"Open the furnace." Tong Ran said.

"Open the furnace!" Old You Lang repeated in a loud voice.

The workers have already seen the process, and now they are putting in raw materials in an orderly manner.

All the coke and iron ore were thrown into the furnace, and the fire was raging. The horse pulled up the turntable, and the oxygen supply fan began to rotate, just like the cattail fan used in the furnace. Get more prosperous.

In the inspector's mansion, it was past noon, Dongqing Kankan pushed open a crack in the door, and saw the tiger cub on the bed with its front paws crossed, its head resting on top of it, sleeping soundly, the quilt on its body was well covered, not messed up at all.

"Master Tiger's sleeping appearance is really good, but isn't he hungry?" Holly muttered, but even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to disturb the sleeping little tiger, so he could only guard the door obediently.

Above the main hall of the palace, the morning court has been going on for half a day, and the officials of His Royal Highness are still arguing endlessly, and Chu Jun's patience is almost worn out.

Since he decreed to grant Tong Ran the post of supervisor, some people in the court raised objections.The reason is nothing more than that Tong Ran is young and can't bear the responsibility.

At first Chu Jun stayed in the middle school and did not publish it, but after a few days, there were more and more such books. He picked one at random and replied: "I was enthroned at the age of 14, younger than Tong Ran. Aiqing is alluding to I can't bear the big responsibility?"

With such a big hat on, the voice of dissent suddenly became quieter.

But immediately afterwards, Tong Ran drastically rectified the administration of the Jinhe supervisor, killing a batch and expelling a batch, and the Jinhe supervisor made murderous memorials poured in again like snowflakes.

Chu Jun couldn't bear it this time, and directly launched an attack the next morning, saying that it was his order to kill Jin Hejian.The officials who were planning to impeach Tong Ran all died down. After all, the officials in the court and the central government did not speak out, and they didn't want to rush to become an enemy of the emperor.

After a few days of peace like this, the news of Tong Ran’s reform of the mining area and the large-scale demolition of Heishi Six Village spread to the capital again. The dissent that was suppressed by Chu Jun broke out in an instant. towards.

"Your Majesty, Inspector Tong is only sixteen years old. He is not only young but also from a humble background. He is really not worthy of a heavy responsibility." A veteran of the Ministry of Rites said. He knew how His Majesty hated this, so he wisely brought up Tong Ran's background. Let's talk about things, so His Majesty can't blame him with his enthronement.

Sure enough, Chu Jun was speechless for a moment.He was by Tong Ran's side every day, and knew that Tong Ran's temperament was far beyond that of an ordinary 16-year-old boy, but how would he explain it to these ministers?Tell them that his majestic king turns into a newly weaned tiger cub to follow Tong Ran every day?He is shameless!

Successfully resigned the senior official of the Ministry of Rites who was in the emperor's first army, and another minister of the household department stepped forward and said: "The inspector Tong moved more than [-] households in one go. The purpose is unknown. I fear that he will use his power for personal gain. Please investigate thoroughly. .”

Chu Jun, who was generalized by the old minister, was in a very bad mood, and he reprimanded with a cold face: "Tong Qing has come to fold the memorial, I know it all, you are not allowed to speak rashly."

The Hubu's face froze, and he didn't dare to say any more. He sneaked a glance at the old official who had just spoken, but the other party didn't look at him, making it clear that he refused to make a move.

Su Jin stood aside with his whisk folded, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered. Chu Jun received all the secret documents that Chu Jun received every day.There was no news from Fan Heng's side that he had entered the palace for a long time.

"Your Majesty," another voice came out, and the hall suddenly fell silent, because this time it was Fu Lin, the chief assistant of the court, who came out this time, "Master Tong's demolition involves more than [-] households in Jinhejian, a total of [-] households. There are more than a hundred people, it is really a waste of money for the people, and I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the country. For this reason, I am thinking about it. Since your Majesty knows its strategy, I kindly ask you to reveal one or two, so that you can rest assured that you are worried about the country and the people."

Chu Jun stood on the imperial steps, while Fu Lin prostrated himself on the ground respectfully, more courteous than most of the courtiers in the hall, but this kowtow made Chu Jun furious.

Recently, in order to deal with these objections, he spent more and more time in the palace, and Tong Ran even found a new servant for him, who didn't take him out at all, so that he didn't know Tong Ran's future plans at all.

Fu Lin's words hit his sore spot, not only Fu Lin, but Chu Jun also wanted to bring the culprit, Tong Ran, to beat him up so that he dared not lie to him again.

Fu Lin knelt down, and the other people in the hall did not dare to say any more, they all stood with lowered eyebrows and lowered hands.

Chu Jun still had a cold face, he didn't say anything, even Su Jin couldn't figure out what emotion he was feeling at the moment, all the officials were even more confused, so they had to stand obediently.

The stalemate above the hall lasted only a moment.

A gust of wind blew in, and Fu Lin, who was kneeling respectfully, suddenly raised his head, and other high-ranking ministers also raised their heads one after another, causing another commotion in His Highness.

The corners of Chu Jun's mouth twitched slightly, and his face suddenly brightened.

"Your Majesty." Fu Lin said, "In the northwest of the capital, there are people who have been promoted...to the lower rank of the earth."

Fu Lin said the last four words very solemnly.There are a total of [-] people above the Dacheng rank and above. Except for those who are in the palace today, the rest are all elders of major families, or high-ranking officials from various places and border generals. The perception is not wrong, it is the protagonist of today's debate - Tong Ran.
