Chapter 374 Enamel Industry

Weiyang Palace!

Eunuch Huang brought an unfamiliar eunuch to Queen Ye Ci.

"Your servant Wu Zuosheng comes to see the Queen!"

"Are you the eunuch in charge who will be the supervisor?" Ye Ci asked curiously.

The eunuch in front of me is white and fat. He looks like a Maitreya Buddha and does not look like someone who will serve as a prisoner.

Wu Zuosheng glanced secretly, then hurriedly lowered his head.

He answered honestly: "Reporting to the Empress, I have been working as a prisoner since the 13th year of Yuankang. There is nothing that I don't know about when the prisoner goes up and down."

Ye Ci nodded, "So, you know how to smelt iron and how to stamp it..."

"Although I have never been involved in iron smelting, I have personally followed up on every step. I wonder what aspect your Majesty would like to know about?"

Wu Zuosheng was thinking that it was strange that the Queen was interested in iron smelting. This was something that only the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War were concerned about.

I wonder if the Queen understands the role of iron smelting.

Is it possible that something happened to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works? But even if something happened to these two yamen, His Majesty should be the one to intervene.

I couldn't figure it out, so I had to bury my head and wait for the next chapter.

Ye Ci chuckled softly, "Has the supervisor ever made such a thick iron sheet?"

Ye Ci twisted up three pieces of paper, thought for a moment, and added seven more.

Ten pieces of paper stacked together are almost the thickness of the enamel product in memory.

Her eyes signaled that Eunuch Huang knew the opportunity, handed the paper to Wu Zuosheng, and warned: "Look clearly, don't miss the Queen's important event. If you have it, you will have it, if you don't have it, you won't have it. Be careful with your nonsense."

Wu Zuosheng was startled and held the paper, such a thin piece of iron.

He considered it carefully and said, "I'd like to express my gratitude to you, the Queen, that such a thin patch can be made."

"Oh!" Ye Ci thought to himself that the iron smelting technology of this era is indeed not as backward as imagined, "How efficient is it? How long does it take to make a square iron sheet?"

"These two craftsmen take turns hammering. If they go quickly, it will take seven or eight days. If there are more people, they can work continuously at twelve o'clock a day, and the time can be shortened to two or three days."

too slow!

Ye Ci nodded understandingly.

At present, many technologies are still in the manual stage, and we have not yet thought of using external assistance, such as hydraulic power.

She said to Wu Zuosheng: "Have you ever thought about using hydraulic stamping? I order you to try hydraulic stamping after you return. All craftsmen can offer their opinions and suggestions.

No matter who you are or what your identity is, as long as you can solve the hydraulic stamping problem, you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.

From now on, all supervisors, regardless of their status, will be rewarded as long as they have a good idea and can implement it. I will set up an innovative account at the Royal Bank to reward all those who have contributed. You

As the chief steward who will serve as the prisoner, you also share in all the merits of the prisoner, and you will be rewarded when the time comes."

When Wu Zuosheng heard this, he was confused at first, and then overjoyed.

"Do you really mean what you said?"

"Insolent!" Eunuch Huang scolded from the side.

Ye Ci raised his hand to indicate to Eunuch Huang that there was no need for this.

"What I say is always true to my word, and I never break one's trust. I will give you five hundred taels first, which will be used as research funds for hydraulic stamping. If the money is not enough, you can just go to Mr. Huang to report the account, and give as much as you want.

.

If you need a new site, just ask. I hope to see hydraulic stamping as soon as possible, and to see iron sheets that can be produced in large quantities and quickly.

Don't underestimate these iron sheets, they will be of great use in the future. Whether you, Wu Zuosheng, can go one step further and honor your ancestors all depends on this thin sheet of iron."

Wu Zuosheng's breathing became a little faster.

He boldly looked at the Queen and said, "If you dare to disobey the Queen's orders, I will organize people to do this hydraulic stamping after I return."

Ye Ci warned: "Don't be harsh on the craftsmen below. Your future glory will depend on these craftsmen. I know your methods, but I hope you can treat those craftsmen well from now on."

They are all people who work hard, and at least eat one meal a day. If the money is not enough, you can come to Eunuch Huang to reimburse you. You'd better reimburse the money in real terms, and don't be greedy for the money I gave you.

Because, this palace will regularly arrange special personnel to check the accounts. As long as you can control your hands, I will give you the opportunity to make a fortune later, so that you can make a lot of money in an upright and dignified way. No one can accuse you of improper sources of money.

clean.

However, if you dare to reach out and demand the craftsmen's food and wages, you will completely lose the opportunity. Life or death is all in your mind, you can understand."

"If this slave dares to stretch out his hand, the sky will strike with thunder. Don't worry, my lady, I will control my hand."

Ye Ci smiled and said: "As long as you can control your own hands, I will guarantee that your income in one year will be higher than your current income.

You have heard and seen the people who followed me in those years, what they are worth and what they are doing now. Take Eunuch Huang as an example, he followed me to invest money in the Royal Bank, and he will be able to enjoy the gains in the future."

Wu Zuosheng actually already understood the stakes.

He kowtows to show his loyalty, "I understand! There is no one in the palace who doesn't envy Eunuch Huang. I also envy you very much. I am happy to be able to share the worries of the Queen and do things for the Queen, and I will never dare to do anything random to ruin the Queen."

Big deal!"

"That's great! Remember, you are not only doing things for me, but also for His Majesty. If there are no other questions, go down!"

"promise!"

Wu Zuosheng bowed and retreated, feeling excited in his heart.

Eunuch Huang asked for instructions: "Mother, do you want to arrange for someone to supervise the general supervisor? This Wu Zuosheng must have many tricks to work as the general supervisor for so many years."

Ye Ci lay down on the couch and said, "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Wu Zuosheng is a smart person at first glance. If such a person is useful, he must supervise, but he cannot supervise openly."

"The empress means to supervise secretly."

"You go ahead and make arrangements! You have to make him really feel afraid, so that he can do things better and better."

"The empress is wise!"

Eunuch Huang is already thinking about who to choose as the supervisor to supervise secretly. This kind of thing still needs to be done by internal personnel.

After some thought, I already have a few candidates in mind, just waiting to be screened one by one.

This time, Queen Yeats put the enamel industry on the agenda in a real sense.

Utilizing the skills and craftsmanship of the Shaofu General, I believe there will be results soon.

Once hydraulic stamping is successful, mass production will be possible. By then, the whole capital, and even the whole world, will be able to use cheap and durable enamel washbasins, enamel rice basins, and enamel spittoons...

This is an industry that truly benefits people's livelihood.

However, production and sales must be separated.

Sales cannot be left to the young master.

There are many people in the Shaofu, and there are many related households, and everyone is trying their best to make money.

If the sales were also placed in the Shaofu, I don't know how many times the price of enamel would be doubled, and how many connections would be made by them.

She had to choose someone to be the boss of the enamel industry.

She asked Eunuch Huang, "Has Ye Erlang returned to Beijing?"

"Replying to your Majesty, Ye Erlang has been back in Beijing for many days."

"Go and find out what's going on with the Ye family now? There's no need to make a big show of it, just do it quietly."

"Old slave understands!"
