Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 256 Preparing to Build a Factory

After returning from the ordnance factory, Xiao Feifei's face was very ugly, and her heart was still shocked by the powerful power of the artillery.Even sitting there, she still seemed to feel that the earth was shaking and the thunder was rumbling.

Wu Dong has called her several times, but she didn't respond, so Wu Dong couldn't help but walked over, touched her head, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Feifei forced a smile on his face, and said, "It's nothing."

"Follow me in the future, and you will see more unimaginable things. Now we only occupy Goryeo, and we can only integrate millions of manpower and material resources in Goryeo, so the development is still very limited. When the world is unified in the future, relying on the whole world The power of economic and technological development will be countless times that of the present. I have been thinking for the past few days whether I will see the real industrial age come in my lifetime." Wu Dong said with a smile.

He himself felt a little wishful thinking, now there are only two factories in Liangshan, and all of them are military factories.Now imagining the industrial age seems a little crazy.If we want to enter the industrial age, we need more factories first.As I thought last night, at least a few decent "state-owned enterprises" will do.

Xiao Feifei didn't hear what Wu Dong was saying at all, she always thought back to the shocking scene when the cannon was fired, it wasn't until Wu Dong hugged her and kissed her red lips lightly that she came back to her senses Come, followed by a red glow all over her face.

In the next few days, Wu Dong still inspected the Academy of Sciences and the factory, this time to observe more details, such as the collection and transportation of product raw materials, such as the security work here, such as the living standards of ordinary workers, and so on.

On this day, Wu Dong called Ling Zhen to his room again to discuss the management system of the factory.

"Work five hours a day, no more! Take a break every seven days!" Wu Dong said what he was thinking these days, the first one being related to work and rest.

Ling Zhen was taken aback, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Governor, you only work five hours a day, which is too little? Even the farmers in the fields have to work at sunrise and sunset, and sometimes at night. Five hours is too little to do some household chores. Also, why do you have to take a rest every seven days? This is too much rest! Even the officials of the imperial court only have one day off every ten days!"

Wu Dongdao: "Only by taking a good rest will you be more energetic the next day and have more energy to work! Five hours a day is already a lot in my opinion! It is not easy for the workers. In addition to work, you can have a little more leisure time, use this time to reunite with your family, go out with friends, or use your spare time to go to the book and study."

This time Ling Zhen was even more surprised, and said, "Governor, they are all workers, and most of them are illiterate, how can they get to the book?"

Wu Dongdao: "They don't know how to read, you can ask someone to teach them how to read! From now on, in the land under my Liangshan rule, everyone needs to know how to read, and everyone needs to read and study! In the future, reading is not only for being an official, Workers can increase their knowledge by reading it, which is also good for their future work.”

In ancient China, unless they wanted to become an official in the imperial examination, ordinary people seldom read it.Books are also luxury goods in ancient times, and the prices of pens, inks, papers and inkstones are not low.Moreover, in order to support their families, the ancients worked from dawn to dusk, and basically had no time to study.As for studying people, they don't do anything other than study, and after ten years of hard work, they can be promoted to Jinshi and then become officials.It is also a strange phenomenon in ancient times that people who read people belong to the four bodies, do not work hard, and do not distinguish five grains, while the rest of them do not know a single word.

Wu Dong now wants to teach workers to read and write, which seems unimaginable to Ling Zhen.

"Registration, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc. I will have people send them to the factory, and they don't need to spend money on them!" Wu Dong said again.

"Thank you so much, Commander-in-Chief!" Ling Zhen said.

"Workers in the factory are divided into three grades: skilled workers, general workers, and apprentices. Workers of different grades are paid different wages and enjoy different treatment." Wu Dong added.

"Naturally." Ling Zhen nodded.

"Only by distributing according to work, more work, more pay, less work, less pay, the capable get more, the incompetent get less, so that the enthusiasm of the workers can be better stimulated and the workers can strive for the top. If the apprentices do well, they can naturally You will be promoted to ordinary workers, and if ordinary workers do well, they will be promoted to skilled workers. As for the specific wages and benefits, these need to be formulated by you. I only give you one standard, that is, even apprentices, the wage level cannot be lower than Ordinary farmers’ income. Industry, this is an extremely important industry in Korea’s future, so workers cannot be treated lightly from the very beginning.” Wu Dong said.

"Okay." Ling Zhen hurriedly wrote these down.

"Each factory must have a special raw material procurement organization, as well as a special sales organization. Every factory must have a factory supervisor, who is responsible for the overall affairs of the factory, and a deputy supervisor under the factory supervisor, who is responsible for other specific matters. Under the deputy supervisor, each workshop should have a specific person in charge. In short, everything must be managed in an orderly manner." Wu Dong said.

"What the governor said is that it's just a sales organization, we don't seem to need it now?" Ling Zhen asked curiously.

"Of course the current military factories don't need it, but I want you to set up more factories." Wu Dong said.

"Ah? What kind of factory do you want to set up?" Ling Zhen asked hastily.

"Our current blast furnace ironmaking has a very high output. You can try to make farm tools and build a farm tool factory to sell to farmers. I heard that some of the craftsmen are good at making bricks and can build brick factories. There are some who can make colored glaze, although the craftsmanship is not perfect, but you can find ways to improve it, and then you can set up a factory. The government will provide you with funds, land, and help you recruit workers." Wu Dong said.

"Governor, if we really want to build another factory, we will need a huge number of workers. Workers are cheap jobs, and I'm afraid ordinary people won't come." Ling Zhen said.

A worker is a craftsman. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Khitan, they are all extremely low-level occupations, not as good as ordinary farmers.Most craftsmen are handed down from generation to generation, and as craftsmen, they have to engage in this profession.Only in Korea and Japan, the status of craftsmen is slightly higher, but at most they are equal to farmers.To build a factory, I am afraid that each factory needs hundreds or even thousands of people. It is not easy to recruit so many workers.

"As long as the pay is good, people will come! Besides, under the rule of Liangshan, craftsmen are not cheap at all! I am launching a youth movement to promote equality for all. Although it may not have a big effect, it will definitely improve some People's opinions. At that time, I will personally mobilize some people to come to the factory." Wu Dong said.

"Governor, if you really want to build more factories, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage so many factories." Ling Zhen smiled wryly.

"You don't need to worry about this, I will send people to prepare and manage the factory." Wu Dong said.

He frowned, thought about it carefully, and felt that Li Gang was the only one who could be in charge of this job.Except for Li Gang, I am afraid that no one else has such ability.Preparing to build a factory is a thousand and one thing, and it is not something that ordinary people can do well.Just to let Li Gang come back, he will definitely stop Wu Dong's youth movement, which Wu Dong can't agree to.

"Forget it, let him come back! The big deal is to talk to me every day, just to cause me some trouble!" Wu Dong smiled wryly in his heart.

******

He talked with Ling Zhen for a long time, and this afternoon Ling Zhen called Jin Hu, Su Yuan, Lu Jiu and others over to talk with these people.Jinhu is interested in air, and defines oxygen as "angry" and carbon dioxide as "dead air" in future generations. Although these discoveries are still very rough, they are already valuable in Wu Dong's view.As for Su Yuan's statement that the earth may also be a star, this is even more important.Lu Jiu studied mathematics and basically understood the laws of the four arithmetic operations, and invented some formulas. This person is not simple.

Except for Lu Jiu who looked younger, maybe only in his 20s, the other two looked over 40 years old, especially Jin Hu, who was probably over 50, and his hair was a little gray.

"Great governor, I don't do my job normally. Instead of studying colored glaze, I study the 'Qi' in the sky. Don't mind." Jin Hu said a little fidgeting.

"It's nothing, your invention is very interesting, I'm very interested. I hope you can continue to study 'Qi' and make more discoveries." Wu Dong laughed.

"Governor, what you said is true?" Jin Hu asked in disbelief.

"Naturally it is true! I always encourage new discoveries, new inventions or new ideas!" Wu Dong said.

When he looked at Su Yuan, Su Yuan was very scared. He gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Governor, what I said is that the earth is a star, which belongs to the great rebellion, and contradicts what the sages said. But, Governor, I always feel that what I say is right. Even if you want to criticize me today, or even kill me, a rebel, I still want to say that I am right!"

Wu Dong was taken aback, laughed, and said, "Who said I'm going to criticize you? Who said I'm going to kill you? There is no such thing as treason in the first place when studying knowledge! Is what the sages say must be correct? When Confucius was alive, what he did was to teach his disciples, to study in various countries, to try to master the government of a country, and to realize his political ambitions. He never studied the stars when he was alive. How did he know that the land we live in is not a star? Speaking of it, his research on stars is definitely not as good as yours, his research on "Qi" is definitely not as good as Jin Hu, and his arithmetic is definitely not as good as Lu Jiu! So, don't stick to the words of Confucian sages, in terms of academic research, We must doubt everything, deny everything, we cannot think that everything the sages say is correct, and we cannot think that what the predecessors said must be correct!"

What Wu Dong said was really treasonous. In the hearts of people at that time, Kong Shengren was omnipotent and surpassed everyone in this era in every way, but Wu Dong actually said that Kong Shengren was not as good as others. The three of them were stunned when they heard it. After a while, Su Yuan clapped his hands and said: "Governor, what you said is really good! I don't understand why Confucius must be right? Why don't those who read Are we allowed to say a little bit of bad things about the saint Confucius? Or the governor is right, we can't stick to the saint's words, we have to doubt everything and deny everything!"

Jin Hu and Lu Jiu also looked surprised. For these real "scientists", what they just said really touched their hearts.In the eyes of scientists, there are only facts, and real scientists are not only, not only, but only reality.

"After I meet Ling Zhen, I want him to write the words 'doubt everything, deny everything' on the wall of the Academy of Sciences. There must be a spirit of doubt in the Academy of Sciences! Of course, you can't doubt for no reason. The basis of doubt is Facts! For example, Su Yuan, you study the stars all day, and even think that the earth is not flat, but round based on your own observations, so you come to the conclusion that the earth is also a star, and therefore doubt what the sages said, such doubts can be Yes. You say, don't you?"

The three of them nodded one after another. At this moment, they all felt that what the governor said was really good.At first they thought that the governor was a warrior, and it was difficult to have a common language with them, but now they realized that they were wrong.Originally they were terrified, but now they don't feel any terrified, only the excitement of meeting their confidant.

In fact, Wu Dong knew a lot about the things the three of them studied.Whether it is chemistry, physics or mathematics, or even some other basic subjects, he remembers some basic theoretical knowledge.Although it is the foundation, it also knows much more than these three people.But Wu Dong didn't tell these people what he knew, and the reason was very simple, he didn't want to spoil the creativity of these three people.

In later generations, the Chinese nation has little creativity, only a strong copycat ability.Since liberation until he crossed over, there were no real scientists in the Chinese nation, and there were basically no Chinese people in the Nobel Prize. It has to be said that this is a great pity.Therefore, even if there is already a technological explosion in Korea, Wu Dong will not artificially accelerate this technological explosion, but let it happen naturally, so that local Chinese scientists can be truly born, and let them pass tirelessly. Research discovers those basic theories, and implants the spirit of science into the blood of the Chinese nation.

He worked hard, although he didn't know how useful it would be, but he was already doing these things with great care.

In the middle of the night, Wu Dong wrote to Li Gang, asking Li Gang to return to Korea from Liaodong.
