Chapter 1010 Material Control North and South
Although Ge Hong didn't agree immediately, since Shen Zhezi had an idea, it was impossible to wait for him all the time.After seeing the high-end skills of those craftsmen, the preparations for the Engineering Academy were officially put on the agenda.

In fact, the preparatory work of the Academy of Engineering is almost the same. Needless to say, hard facilities such as venues. After the Huainan Army marched northward, there is no need to maintain too concentrated defenses around Shouchun, so a large number of garrison camps have been vacated. .

These fortresses have universal construction standards, and they can be used for any purpose with a little modification.The transfer of military industry to civilian use is also a kind of recycling and optimal allocation of resources.

As for the various theoretical knowledge used for teaching, Shen Zhezi has consciously collected and organized a large amount of first-hand materials in the past few years.The reason why Shen Zhezi wanted to present Newton's laws of mechanics was also because of the foreshadowing of these materials.

Although there are rich summaries of various production technologies, they are still incompatible with each other, lacking the kind of outline and consistent outline rules.The so-called scientific laws are high-level summaries derived from experience but higher than experience, with irreplaceable generality and universality.

A scientific law without foundational accumulation is just a castle in the air, no matter how correct it is, it has no meaning of existence.With the emergence of these laws, a large number of production technologies have a common principle basis, which will greatly save the popularization and integration of technologies, as well as the derivation of new technologies.

In addition to these, there is another problem that bothers Shen Zhezi, and that is the teaching staff.Although these craftsmen from the north are skilled, their value is more reflected in the production of high-end products, and there are clear barriers to the craftsmanship inherited from each other, and there is a lack of a talent who can not only summarize but also comprehensively.

Shen Zhezi really hopes to discover strong people like Zhang Heng or Ma Jun who are of extremely high quality, who can integrate and improve themselves, and have the courage to practice.

If such a talent really exists, even if Shen Zhezi does not know any technology, as long as he can provide certain conceptual guidance and hand it over to professional talents to realize it, he is confident that the world will undergo earth-shaking changes in a very short period of time. .

Of course, this is not a problem that hinders him. There are big ones and small ones. As long as the soil for the growth of talents can be created, there will be no such talents.

However, if those craftsmen are packaged and included in the experience teaching in this way, it can only be called Huainan Technical School, not the Engineering Academy, so further screening is needed.Whether the skill is high or not is secondary, the important thing is whether it meets the needs of teaching.

Although these craftsmen have a high level of skill, most of them don't even know how to read and are quick to speak. It is enough if they are only engaged in technology, but it is much worse if they want to preach and teach.

However, technical matters are still simple, and we still use technology to speak.So soon Shen Zhezi came up with an idea, not to divide these craftsmen for the time being, but to give them some large-scale comprehensive machinery manufacturing tasks, so as to test their respective abilities.

The machines with the most research and creation value in this era are vehicles and boats.Shen Zhezi's instructions to these craftsmen are also very simple, let them first use vehicles and boats as carriers, and use their respective capabilities to optimize old functions and add new functions to these two tools.

When the skill level of craftsmen is roughly the same, what can reflect their ability is imagination.Bold assumptions, careful verification, this is a core spirit of technological development.

In order to stimulate the creativity of these craftsmen, Shen Zhezi also set up reward categories ranging from high to low, and the highest reward even reached a million dollars.With the material foundation of Huainan today, a million dollars can already lead a high-quality life with a good farmland, grain in the warehouse, and beautiful girls in the room.

Moreover, after seeing the superb skills of those craftsmen, Shen Zhezi's own creativity is also very hot. He has accumulated too many ideas and urgently needs professionals to test whether they can be realized.

The first thing Shen Zhezi thought of was the clock, because the clock itself is a composite marking and measuring tool, which requires extremely high technical accuracy. Once there is any error, it will be revealed immediately.

Of course, if we only talk about these functions, it is not that there are better choices, such as the armillary sphere.However, there are too many elements involved in the armillary sphere, and timing is only a trivial additional function. The knowledge involved in astronomy, especially the calendar, is more significant than the mechanical technology itself.

Huainan and Taichung have temporarily reached a delicate and temporary balance, and there is no need for Shen Zhezi to get involved in those overly sensitive issues, so he still has to focus on the technology itself.

During this period of time, some skilled craftsmen gathered around him, such as Fu and his son, who were unique in the application of gear combinations, to explore the possibility of various mechanical combinations.In fact, he knows very little about the mechanical principles inside the clock, but as long as the goal is determined, he can boldly try it.

Those craftsmen were assigned various tasks, and there are still many people in Huainan who are still obsessed with and concerned about their resettlement.

Shen Zhezi has both support and vigilance for these merchants' private capital.

The Huainan Governor's Mansion or the entire Central Plains and surrounding areas in the future, no matter how it is established and operated, the first thing that needs to be determined is that the military mission is the first mission.As for other aspects, arrangements must be centered on this, and if conflicts arise, they must give way to the military.

Especially when Shen Zhezi decided to send troops to Hefei a few years ago, the conflict between Huainan and Taichung intensified again to the point of irreconcilability, and Taichung's various measures this year also illustrate this point.

Therefore, the current Dudu Mansion is facing pressure from the north and the south, including Guanzhong, so the position of these merchants also has a considerable influence on the development of Huainan.

Faced with this situation, even if Shen Zhezi has any measures to restrict private capital of merchants, it is impossible to directly state it in the code and publish it as an order.Of course, it is impossible for him to completely give up the benefits.

As a matter of fact, although there is no explicit regulation on how to resettle the artisans from the north to the south, the capital city government launched such a large-scale investment promotion last year, and the merchants were so enthusiastic, they also established a tacit consensus to share with each other.The merchants invested real money, and it was impossible for Huainan to wipe it out and refuse to accept the account.

The advantage of the Dudu Mansion is that it has a semi-official buffer organization like Dingcang. When all parties are eager to inquire about the resettlement of artisans, Dingcang quickly made some response plans. A batch of workshops for the high-end market.

Such an arrangement was also in Shen Zhezi's original plan.Dingcang and Huainan, including the newly recovered territories of several states, have in fact jointly formed a rather large-scale economy, even without mentioning their legal and military ownership.

In other words, in the face of pressure from all sides, the methods that the Dudufu can use are not limited to war, and economic confrontation has also become an optional strategy.There are several basic conditions to form such a foundation.

First, Huainan has the largest and most powerful professional army in the world, which gives Huainan enough force to deter.No matter which side, after choosing Huainan as an enemy, it must consider whether war is an effective means to attack Huainan.Of course, the final choice would be war, but with such a level of scruples, they dare not start a war lightly.

The second is that Huainan has huge productivity and basic potential, and holds the hub node of money and goods transportation. It has a very strong appeal and can quickly gather and deploy resources.

With these several advantages, Huainan can use more economic means, such as the export of high-end products, the dumping of low-end products, the plundering and exploitation of raw materials and labor, and the imposition of various means will create a gold dollar. Suppressed facts.

The most obvious of these is Xuzhou. In fact, Xuzhou's comprehensive strength is not inferior to Huainan at all. Even before the Central Plains Battle last year, Xuzhou was not weaker than Huainan.But the reason why it has not been as bright as Huainan is that one of the biggest flaws is that resources have not been effectively regulated and allocated.

The two towns have always been in a relationship of mutual support and progress. In the process of mutual benefit, Huainan has already penetrated and eroded Xuzhou to a very deep degree, which has gradually reduced Xuzhou's cooperative status.Coupled with the fact that Xi Jian, the governor, is getting old, Xuzhou has become a vassal of Huainan.

After the Hefei Incident, although the Jiangdong court was still maintaining restraint on the surface, it had actually shaken the channel for Jiangdong people to transport goods to Huainan.

That is to say, Shen Zhezi himself was born in Jiangdong Haozong, and began to lay out these cargo passages more than ten years ago, so it can still be maintained.Otherwise, based on this point alone, it would be worthwhile for Shen Zhezi to abandon the large occupied areas of the Central Plains and return to fight the Jiangdong court.This is also one of the reasons why many Northern Expedition attempts in history failed.

At least for now, the battle with Jiangdong is not in the overall interests of Huainan, and it is definitely a reckless act of relatives and enemies.Therefore, with the help of these high-end craftsmen and manpower in the north, they can continuously export luxury goods to Jiangdong, maintain the transportation channel, and by the way, wealth can be more effectively locked in Huainan.

The export of luxury goods will always be a huge profiteering industry.Especially for many Jiangdong overseas Chinese, living in a foreign land is miserable, and losing power is even more desolate. They will undoubtedly have a greater desire for goods that represent the advanced culture of the Central Plains in order to obtain some psychological comfort.

This is also an adjustment of Huainan's commodity strategy. In the past, Huainan did not have a leading position in technology, so it relied on quantity and odds to win, and by the way, it also had to acquire rare seafood from Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places to gain a competitive advantage.Now Heluo and the Central Plains are under control, but the overseas Chinese from Jiangdong have become poor relatives in the countryside, so the focus will naturally be shifted.

Of course, these luxury clusters are not only facing overseas Chinese, but also those wealthy families in Jiangdong who have become rich because of business.If there is no brocade for wealth and honor, all gold will be covered with dust.It used to lead you to get rich, but now it guides you to consume, which is also a kind of migration.
