Chapter 372 Lack of talent
The size of the [-]-stone large water steamship is not twice as large as the [-]-stone Happiness, at most [-] to [-]% larger, but the propulsion power of the water wheel has been strengthened a lot, thanks to the happiness The tougher steel material and ball bearings made by the village.

The new type of ship can sail at a certain speed with a deeper draft than before. Even with a full load, it can sail against the current. When sailing with full sail and smooth wind on the sea, it is no slower than a ship of [-] shi, because it increases A windmill device was built to allow the wind to push the roller of the water wheel and drive the propeller to rotate continuously.

In other words, it does not need to use cattle to slowly pull the propeller bearing, which will make the ship's continuous sailing ability and carrying space slightly improved.

"If you want manpower, hurry up and recruit! There are 50 young and strong laborers at the Weinan construction site. If you don't hurry up and recruit them under your own banner, when hundreds of factories are all built, you will need manpower." It depends on robbing."

In later generations, when doing various businesses, people must be recruited before the place is opened. After all your construction is completed, if you come to recruit people again, it will delay things.

Yang Shunshui slapped his forehead when he heard what Sun Xiangfu said, and secretly hated himself for being confused. Other smelters knew to recruit new craftsmen for training first, so why didn't his own shipyard know how to recruit new craftsmen for training first!I also foolishly ran to help others train workers.

But looking back, what if I recruited so many workers and didn't have so many ships to build for myself?Could it be that Sun Xiangfu, the owner, paid to subsidize the shipyard?

"Well, you should give the old man a recruitment standard! To avoid too many recruits, there will be no work to do..."

"Don't worry! According to the full recruitment, in the next few years, there will be at least hundreds of military spare ships, and countless merchant ships."

"Full staff? Recruit 5 people?" Yang Shunshui couldn't believe it.

Although the new shipyard is not as big as the smelter, it is still half the size of the original Weinan County, and all the production workshops are full of people. In addition to the tens of thousands of people from the old shipyard, it can also add more than 5 people. When the construction started, the scale was set, but if you build a ship and use 5 people at once, isn't it a bit too exaggerated?

"Why? Do you think it's too much? Within three years, maybe you still think it's too little." Sun Xiangfu looked at the dazed Yang Shunshui with a smile on his face.

Based on the current production of the old shipyard, 1 people can only organize ten production lines, and the annual output is only about one million ships, which is five times larger, but only about [-] ships. Economic expectations are more than a five-fold increase.

As the most labor-saving means of transportation in ancient times, the first choice for mass transportation, the manufacture of ships must keep up, or you will send the goods of these hundreds of large factories to all parts of the country with oxen and horses?

However, Yang Shunshui, a shipbuilder, can't see the long-term. He was shocked by this number, and said a little nervously, "Old man, it's hard for me to manage 1 people. If I want to manage 6 people, I, I Don't worry about it!"

This is indeed a problem. People who are good at making technology may not be good at management. Yang Shunshui is barely able to keep a shipyard with 1 people in order.

It's a pity that in this period, there is no set of knowledge that specifically teaches people management. This is a big trouble, because Sun Xiangfu has foreseen that when hundreds of factories open together, tens or millions of workers will eat and drink. How difficult it is to manage production and the lack of management personnel are probably the core problems that Weinan New City needs to solve most.

Seeing that Sun Xiangfu suddenly fell silent, neither Old Man Yang nor Ma Zhou who rushed over later dared to disturb him.

After a long time, Sun Xiangfu's brows relaxed slightly. Without management talents, he had to train. Isn't the imperial examination coming soon? Those who have basic cultural knowledge should take more and teach them together. The factories will not start working, and there will be more than half a year. At that time, two intern secretaries will be sent to each factory, and two intern working committee members will be sent to represent the imperial court to assist in the management of each factory. If they perform well, they will be directly awarded official positions in the imperial court remain in office.

This kind of means of controlling private enterprises by the state in later generations can be changed a little bit. After these interns have gained practical management experience in the management positions of the factory, and then transfer them to work in other places, their level will be lower. It is much higher. Li Shimin should agree to use the resources of businessmen to help the court train officials.

Sun Xiangfu told Ma Zhou about this idea, and was praised by Ma Zhou as a stroke of genius. As a man who was busy all day at the construction site in Weinan, how could he not know the embarrassment of the lack of management talents here!At that time, Ma Zhou will write to Li Shimin to implement this matter.

The lunch on the construction site was very simple. I ate an egg pancake with hot tea, and it was over. Although it was early October, the weather was already very cold. Before the workers started work, tiny hail particles floated in the sky. .

"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid there will be several heavy snowfalls this winter."

Yang Shunshui sighed, but Sun Xiangfu's and Ma Zhou's expressions darkened.

The heavy snow will slow down all the construction progress. Even the next step of the project like the smelter, which has already been done indoors, will be slow due to the cold weather. Just this moment, Sun Xiangfu has seen many workers working on their hands. Frostbite on it.

Moreover, once the roads are blocked by heavy snow, it is not so easy to supply the food and drink of tens of thousands of people, because Weinan County has no output this year, and everything has to be shipped here from outside.

"It is imperative for His Majesty to conquer Goguryeo next year. Therefore, as long as the industries in Weinan are related to armaments, we must not suspend work. Among them, smelters, timber factories, and leather factories are the most important. We must find a way to let the workers overcome difficulties. Keep working."

"Don't worry, the governor, even if the sky is full of knives, the construction of these factories will never stop. Before the Spring Festival, they will all be put into production."

Ma Zhou knew the importance of going east to Goguryeo. Once Li Shimin also lost the battle in Goguryeo, then all the fame he had accumulated with great difficulty before will be scrapped. Everyone will think that he and Yang Guang are the same thing, so, He has never used high-pressure policy on the construction site, and he is also mentally prepared to use high-pressure policy.

"We must try our best to help the workers solve production difficulties from all aspects. I will write to Xingfu Village and ask them to send out a batch of gloves and socks to the garment workers, and then let the workers wear them. It's much better to work with gloves and cotton socks.

In addition, food and accommodation must also be strengthened. Don’t be afraid to spend more money. Workers must not suffer from frostbite to death. Moreover, those who are free to stay and really want to stay and earn this hard money are the only ones Let them stay..."

After Sun Xiangfu said several plans that he had thought of temporarily, he felt that whether everyone can face the difficulties should mainly be given spiritual encouragement.

In the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China, weren't many major events completed under difficult conditions? What did they rely on?The ideological education of our party!Then, I should also think of a way to give the workers some spiritual encouragement.

When Li Shimin was inspecting the construction site in Weinan, it seemed like a good idea to hold a cultural performance to encourage everyone.

With this idea in mind, Sun Xiangfu discussed and arranged with Ma Zhou. Anyway, there are many empty large houses in the smelter, and a platform can be set up in one of them, which can be watched by tens of thousands of people at the same time. As for the program, of course, nothing is needed. The music was so overwhelming that workers who could not read large characters would not be able to understand those things. It would be fine to just play vernacular folk songs. On the way back home, Sun Xiangfu thought of many songs suitable for the workers to sing.

Yao Hongxiu, Li Xiangdie, and even many musicians and singers in the Wangjianglou branch in Luoyang will be summoned by a letter from Sun Xiangfu to the actor training center in Wangjianglou, and after putting some of their improved songs here, A performance with the theme of praising and encouraging workers will be rehearsed here.

With Sun Xiangfu's current status, he no longer needs to personally guide these things. The people under his subordinates can already master all aspects very freely. He only needs to talk about the effect he wants.

The next morning, Sun Xiangfu arrived at Xiao Yu's house early. Today is Li Shimin's return to Chang'an. According to the distance, at noon, the driver should arrive at Mingde Gate of Chang'an City.

"Xiao Xiang, it's not this imperial examination. The officials don't know that there are so many scholars in our Tang Dynasty. They have gathered more than a thousand people, and they guarded the city gate early in the morning. It seems that you have a chance today. Drink more throat tea!"

"Hehe, seeing that you are still in the mood to tease the old man, it means that the situation is not that bad. How did you go to Weinan yesterday?" Xiao Yu said with a relaxed expression.

It seems that he has thoroughly understood the defense script Sun Xiangfu gave him, and is confident in dealing with possible situations.

Sun Xiangfu replied truthfully, "There are many problems, but fortunately there is still room for solution."

"It's good if it can be resolved. After welcoming His Majesty, the imperial examination will officially start. We also have to arrange the examination room."

The examination time announced by the imperial court is October [-]th. Today is October [-]th, and there are only five days left, so it must be arranged immediately.

"So far, how many people have applied for the exam?"

"More than three thousand and two hundred, but the real number of references, the old man is not sure."

"Only more than 3000 people?" Obviously, this number is a bit small. You must know that Sun Xiangfu has expanded his reference range. The three classes of workers, doctors, and businessmen are all newly added by Sun Xiangfu. Ordinarily, these three industries , there should be many people to refer to.

"It's already quite a lot. If those troubled students really don't refer to it, I'm afraid that only half of them actually refer to it."

Xiao Yu is comparing this year's data with the previous ones, while Sun Xiangfu is comparing this data with the actual demand. Of course, the results are different. Not to mention that there are at least a few hundred officials in the North. It is a gap in Weinan New City, and there are also hundreds of people. If more than 3000 people refer to it, I am afraid that more than half of it will be used before it can be used.
