With Du Qi's final verdict, the matter regarding Wang Guangyao would be settled and would not continue to spread. If Du Qi hadn't made his final verdict, the protest would have continued to spread in the cement plant and the investigation would have continued, causing the plant to be affected.
Tie Zheng actually heaved a sigh of relief.
Du Qi had already said that he wouldn't pursue the matter regarding Wang Guangyao and the others in front of him. Now that Du Qi had said this in front of everyone, Tie Zheng was completely relieved.
Du Qi continued, "The third point, which is also the main reason why I asked Tie Zheng to gather all of you here today. The cement plant now belongs to Xia Xia and has generated countless profits for Xia Xia. It is Xia Xia's economic pillar. For a pillar industry like the cement plant, the management of the plant must not only be able to lead people to create wealth, but also have the corresponding status. You have contributed a lot to Xia Xia, so the country will not treat you unfairly. "
Everyone's hearts were in their mouths when they heard this.
Status!
What status?
Everyone's curiosity was aroused by Du Qi. They listened attentively to Du Qi's words and looked forward to what Du Qi was going to say next.
Du Qi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "In the cement plant, from Tie Zheng as the head manager to the workshop managers below, as well as the office staff responsible for the maintenance of the cement plant, as well as the people in charge of the assembly line in the workshops, the management of the cement plant will correspond to Xia Xia's official rank."
"Initially, Tie Zheng's rank as the head manager will correspond to the rank of the assistant ministers of the six ministries."
"He will be a fourth-rank official rank."
"The management staff below him will correspond to the rest of the ranks. However, the specific rank correspondence will need to be discussed and drafted by the various ministries of the imperial court. Then, it will be promulgated and directly appointed. "
"This Prince is the one who told you this in advance. You have contributed to Xia Xia and worked hard for Xia Xia. Xia Xia will not forget you, and this Prince will not treat you unfairly. "
Du Qi continued, "Therefore, you will be equivalent to this rank in the future. Although you will not be an official, you will have the corresponding rank. This is the reward I give you. "
Wow!!!
The hall was suddenly filled with discussions.
The atmosphere was explosive.
Countless people were excited. They had earned money to support their families and live a good life, but in reality, many of them couldn't even compare to Li Zheng in the village. So much so that they had to be careful with just a single word from him.
Now that he was an official, even though he wasn't an official, he had the corresponding rank, so no one could bully him as they wished. Even if they did not receive a salary from the Imperial Court, even if they only had an official rank, this status was still incomparably important to them.
"Long live Emperor Xia Xia!"
The crowd cheered again.
"Xia live Xia Xia!"
…
Shouts and cheers echoed in the great hall. Everyone was extremely excited. Everyone was extremely excited. Because from today onwards, they would be different. This difference might not have much impact on their money, but it would have a huge impact on their mentality and confidence. It would make them more confident and emboldened.
Du Qi watched this scene quietly.
He didn't disturb them and didn't say anything. He let all the management of the cement factory vent their inner emotions and let everyone vent their inner excitement.
He could understand everyone's feelings.
After a long time, a long time!
All the cheering finally calmed down. Many people's eyes were wet at this time.
This was emotional.
Du Qi continued, "It seems that now that everyone has calmed down, I will say a few more words. I hope you remember that Xia Xia has never forgotten you. Xia Xia will not treat the meritorious officials unfairly. I hope you can work conscientiously and continue to make the cement factory bigger and stronger. At any time, the people of the cement factory can't be complacent. You can't be satisfied with the current situation. You must forge ahead and innovate. "
"Well, that's all for today."
"Meeting adjourned!"
Du Qi waved his sleeve and gave the order. Today, he spoke in front of all the managers of the cement factory. In fact, he was trying to unite the people and strengthen their cohesiveness. He wanted everyone to continue working hard and do things well. He wanted everyone not to be satisfied with their current achievements, but to be more innovative and constantly improve.
After Du Qi gave the order, the management staff stood up one by one. No one left but looked at Du Qi.
They wanted Du Qi to leave first.
Tie Zheng waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
"Let's go!"
Du Qi nodded and followed Tie Zheng out. When Du Qi walked out, the crowd applauded again. The applause was so fast that it became thunderous in a short time and echoed in the hall.
Du Qi didn't care about it anymore. After leaving the hall with Tie Zheng, Shangguan Yi, and the others, Tie Zheng saw that it was getting late. He proposed to hold a welcoming dinner for Du Qi in the factory's cafeteria.
Du Qi wasn't in a hurry. He proposed to take a look at the office first, then the workshop and the warehouse. Tie Zheng naturally agreed.
The sky was completely dark when the group walked around. Du Qi and the others were really hungry. But even at this time, the cement factory was still brightly lit and bustling with people coming and going.
Du Qi agreed to Tie Zheng's request and went straight to the cafeteria to solve Du Qi's problem first. It was already past mealtime, so the cafeteria was quiet and clean.
Du Qi arrived at the cafeteria just in time to learn about the food of the cement factory. He asked around and learned that the food of the cement factory required money. It was just that the price was much lower than the market price. One only needed to pay a small amount of money to eat the food.
Although it wasn't very sumptuous, at least one could eat until they were full.
That was enough.
Du Qi didn't ask for good food, nor did he ask for the cement factory to be kind. As long as they provided good food at a reasonable price, that would be enough. Because in this era, this was already a rather high-end configuration. It was almost impossible to raise it to the level of the modern era according to the standards of the modern era's employees' meals.
Du Qi's group's meal was prepared separately and was quite sumptuous. Du Qi didn't say anything. He called all the people accompanying him, including the soldiers, over to eat.
After the meal, Du Qi's group set off on their journey. After Du Qi left, Tie Zheng could finally relax, but his heart was filled with excitement. During the day, Du Qi had already said that his position as the head manager was equivalent to that of an assistant minister.
This was the existence of a fourth-rank official.
Above that was the position of a minister, which was a third-rank official. Tie Zheng didn't look up to this rank. He was already quite satisfied to have a position equivalent to that of an assistant minister.
