Chapter 69 Industrial Light (Second update, please collect, please recommend)
Machines are easy to obtain, but workers are difficult to train.

Although when she first arrived in Nanhua, among the materials purchased by Elizabeth, there were more than a dozen general-purpose machine tools for repairing farm tools, and the two accompanying technicians also trained workers, and Zhu Xianhai also specially selected more than a hundred people to learn from them. Operate the machine tools, but for now they are only apprentices.

Of course, this batch of apprentices produced it.The first batch of grenades and the first batch of grenades in Nanhua.

But it is still a little too early for them to operate the machine and produce the machine.

"It's okay, let them produce while practicing!"

There are some things that cannot be rushed, so Zhu Xianhai even took out a blueprint on purpose.

"Let's make this first now."

"This is?"

William Hansen wondered.

"The plowshare? Why does it have two plowshares?"

"This is a plow with two wheels and two plows. From now on, we will use this to reclaim the land."

Zhu Xianhai said.

"The shape and structure of this double-shared plow is completely different from the old plowshare. It is an iron frame with a lever in the middle and a wheel on each side. Two plowshares are installed under the iron frame. It just forms a triangular support with the front pair of wheels. There is a traction hook at the front of the plow, and a control armrest or handle at the back, plus a gear to control the depth of the plow..."

The double-wheeled double-shared plow is the first "advanced farm tool" promoted by New China in another world, but its promotion ended in failure. Although the double-shared plow introduced from Soviet Russia has high work efficiency, it is because of Its overall structure is all iron frame, so its weight is far more than two traditional plows, which also increases the required power.Because of the large number of livestock used and the length of the plow itself, the occupied area is much larger than that of traditional plows.Therefore, the corners of the plowed land are extraordinarily large.All in all, it is not portable, flexible, efficient, and superior, which determines that it must be regarded as a tasteless result later.But the reason is still "acclimatization". The large number of livestock needed is because China lacks agricultural heavy-duty horses, and the pull power of native horses or cattle is small. As for the large corners of the turning land, it is because the land is small Lots of turns.

But these are not a problem in Nanhua - there are not many things here in Nanhua, but there are many lands.As for the heavy draft horses for agriculture, with Argentina, will there be a shortage of horses?

They don't sell it, just let the Mapuche grab it.

Of course, this is not the reason why Zhu Xianhai chose it. The reason why he chose the double-wheel and double-share plow is that it is easy to use, its structure is simple, and its manufacturing tolerance is as large as a few millimeters. It has both casting parts and machine-added parts. , Such a large manufacturing tolerance can be called a "hands-on artifact" for apprentices. The key is what's wrong with the large tolerance, it doesn't affect the use!In the [-]s, an unknown number of county-level agricultural machinery factories improved the technical level of workers by manufacturing them, and then knocked on the door of local industrialization.And now Zhu Xianhai's plan is to train skilled workers by manufacturing it, let the workers practice their hands first.

Sometimes, this is the case with industrial development. If you read the local chronicles, you can notice that many factories started as repair shops, accumulated a little bit of technology, and eventually grew into large-scale industrial enterprises.

take it easy!

The seemingly inconspicuous light of industry breeds the hope of industrialization.

As for the workers in the factory, of course they don't know what this seemingly small factory means. For ordinary workers like Wu Liu, all he sees is... six yuan a month. salary.

This is six oceans per month after including food and housing.

And if you become a skilled worker in the future, you can earn more...

"Eighth-level workers can earn [-] yuan a month."

Once again, Wu Liupan calculated the wage bills of the workers in the factory. No matter what he calculated, it was more cost-effective than farming. Those "farm workers" who opened up wasteland and farmed land cost 4 pesos a month, which is four oceans. That's all.

In fact, when formulating wages for Chinese laborers, Zhu Xianhai was referring to the salary level of Buenos Aires and the "eight-level wage system" of later generations. Of course, this wage system is not a big pot, but follows the The principle of distribution according to work is based on more work, less work, less work, no work, no work, and eight-level wage system from level one to level eight. There are clear and different systems in terms of technical level, labor objects, and labor intensity. Requirements reflect the wage differentials between skilled and unskilled labor, and between highly skilled and unskilled workers.

Of course, the wage system is still being perfected, but what is certain is that the combination of wage level and technical level can promote the enthusiasm of workers to learn, so that they can take the initiative to learn and research to improve their own skills.

Of course, after becoming a skilled worker, even taking apprentices, you can also get extra income.Zhu Xianhai, who has worked as a migrant worker, knows very well what should be given to the migrant workers in order to promote their enthusiasm. Moreover, for him, these Chinese workers are his root.To squeeze them as much as possible, wouldn't it be self-defeating martial arts.

"If you calculate it this way, what place do you need? As long as you work in the factory for more than ten or twenty years, you will have enough food and drink for the rest of your life..."

Thinking in his mind, Wu Liu put his mind to the lathe again. Although he is still not proficient in turning and milling parts, at least there are not so many waste products compared to the beginning.

A reduction in the scrap rate means an increase in income, which is also a driving force.

Amidst the roar of the machines, the parts of the double-wheeled plow with metallic luster were produced one by one. Thousands of people are waiting for the farm tools.

Although it is self-produced and sold, the initial cost can be recovered as the wheat and cotton grown in the reclamation area are harvested.With the increase in the number of new farm tools, the area of ​​the reclamation area is also constantly expanding. Of course, the demand for plowing horses is also increasing.

"200 sets of double-wheeled plows have been delivered, and 500 horses need to be purchased in the reclamation area..."

After reading the report from the reclamation area, Zhu Xianhai thought about it and said to Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth, there are not enough horses in the reclamation area. Let Bailey buy another 1000 horses and send them here."

"1000 horses?"

Elizabeth froze.

"Will it be too much? We have bought more than a thousand horses there recently. If we buy more horses, it will not only increase the price of the horses, but will it attract their attention?"

Elizabeth's reminder made Zhu Xianhai frowned, and then he muttered.

"Well, this is a problem. It's not a problem to always rely on buying like this. If you want to solve the problem, you still have to rely on agricultural mechanization..."
