let go of that priestess

After hearing this, Ji Cheng blinked again: "Hey, have you already thought of this question? My red beans have grown again."

"Did you underestimate me!" Jiang Hongdou made an angry gesture:

"How could such an obvious problem not be discovered? I have spent 2 hours in the afternoon discussing it with Ying Ying.

It's just that we didn't discuss the results, so I thought I'd come back and ask you. "

"Uh, it's actually normal that you and Yingying can't think of a solution.

No underestimation, you have never been exposed to these things, but now you can maintain the normal operation of the village economy, which is already very powerful. "

Ji Cheng stroked Jiang Hongdou's hair, and said sincerely: "The priestess is a genius selected by human beings, and my Hongdou is a genius among geniuses."

"Okay, why are you praising people all of a sudden?" Jiang Hongdou slapped Ji Cheng's hand off, blushing slightly:

"Seeing how calm you are, have you thought about it a long time ago? Tell me."

"Look over there." Ji Cheng pursed his lips, indicating the direction outside the village: "That road, do you know why I named it Wenming Road?"

"Huh? What's the meaning?" Jiang Hongdou tilted his head: "Isn't it the first road built by the new civilization, called Civilization Road?"

"It's true to say that, but it does have another meaning."

Ji Cheng smiled: "You seem to have misunderstood it. The mines dug back by the prospecting and mining team, the expenditures for making weapons, equipping the army, and training the army, military expenditures, seem to have no economic returns, economic benefits, but this It is direct, not indirect."

"Indirectness?" Jiang Hongdou didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"

"You said, what is the real purpose of my establishment of the Military Department?"

Ji Cheng said: "Is it for the future confrontation between the village and other tribes?

No, to be honest, at that level, Guren can handle everything. The real purpose of my establishment of the Military Department has two aspects.

First, in the future, when tribes are merged, more and more people will be added. We need not only the council to manage, but also the official armed forces to manage, or to maintain law and order.

The latter is the basis for the existence of popular norms and laws.

If there is no such management, if some vicious incidents occur and cannot be controlled, causing a wide range of impacts, and the stability of the people's jobs cannot be guaranteed, will it affect the village economy?

So, this is also an indirect economic return, economic gain, right?

Second, what I just talked about is the internal role of the Ministry of Military Affairs, as well as its external role.

We are now starting to cultivate our armed forces. When merging tribes, we will pull them out to train soldiers. In the end, when we face another civilization, we will develop a force strong enough that it will not dare to bully us.

Only when the two sides stand on an equal footing, or even when we stand on a slightly higher footing, can we have equal or dominant trade with each other.

We buy their stuff, they buy our stuff, and even we hire their people to manufacture for us, which is also possible.

So, again, this is an indirect economic return, economic gain, right? "

"Uh... you, you think so far."

Jiang Hongdou looked to the west, was surprised by Ji Cheng's thoughts for a while, and then spread his hands:

"I admit that you are right. There are indeed indirect economic benefits from the establishment of the Military Department, but..."

"Far water can't quench near thirst, can it?"

"Far water can't quench near thirst? Ah, yes, that's what it means."

Jiang Hongdou was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Is there any one nearer?"

"Yes, this is the second misunderstanding."

Ji Cheng pressed Jiang Hongdou's shoulder and asked her to look in the direction of Wenming Road again:

"The mines dug by the prospecting and mining team are used to make steam trucks first, and then pull more mines back to make weapons, but not just weapons.

During this period of transition to steam power, there were many other uses besides the above.

For example, machines for cultivating land, such as textile machines, such as logging, hauling, digging machines, and so on.

Try to think about it, these machines will liberate our manpower, work tirelessly, and the efficiency is much higher than that of our own hands.

Our productivity will be greatly improved. Compared with this, the problem of economic immobility is nothing at all, and it will also be solved by the diversification of production items brought about by the increase in productivity.

You may not feel the truth of what I said, but believe me, when we discovered the mine and built this road between them, the road to the explosive growth of civilization began. "

Chapter 203 Steam Wagon

Early in the morning, the collection team and some temporary workers from the Ministry of Transport were notified to gather in the newly built workshop near the ironworks to start their formal work—the training of workshop workers.

Finally, when it came to the day when they were transferred to the workshop, many people were a little excited.

Now there is competition for good jobs in the village, but you can't just go wherever you want.

In terms of remuneration, workshop workers are definitely considered a very good category.

The premise is that you have to accept being a temporary worker elsewhere for a while, and then you must master qualified skills within the specified time when you transfer to the workshop, otherwise you will still be eliminated.

Regarding which jobs pay well, the villagers have gradually figured out some rules.

The more it needs technology, the better it needs knowledge, the more low technology it has, the worse it can be done by everyone.

Qu Xue is very grateful for the conversation with the team leader Ying Quanyou. From then on, he understood the importance of learning, and then he also started to study by himself, walking in front of others.

The first step of self-study is to learn to write his own name, but he does not have a name.

His parents left early when he was young, and the Qu surname was a minor surname in the clan, and he had no other relatives, so everyone just called him Qu Wa, but it is different now.

I went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the Council Hall to explain the situation. Considering that this was not an official name, the Ministry of Civil Affairs communicated with the Human Resources Department, and finally accepted his application.

After paying a little contribution point called cost, he officially changed his name from Qu Wa to Qu Xue in the files of the Human Resources Department.

"Qu Xue."

"To!"

"Because you can read some characters and understand the data of size and size, you were transferred from the reclamation team to the workshop and temporarily appointed as the workshop line leader.

In the future, he will be responsible for the deployment of production personnel in the workshop, responsible for the production progress and quality control of the workshop, responsible for the skills training and job responsibilities of the staff, and responsible for the punctual communication and implementation of relevant documents of the Council. "

The priestess of the council hall who came to announce the appointment took a letter of appointment and finished reading the contents of the appointment, then raised her head and said:

"Now I want to confirm with you whether you are willing to serve as the temporary workshop line leader."

"I obey the arrangement of the village!" Qu Xue said loudly, "I am willing to be the line leader of the workshop."

"Okay." The priestess nodded, handed the letter of appointment to the other party, and then took out a roll of the latest paper document produced by the village and handed it over:

"This is what the workshop is going to produce, and now I'll leave it to you for safekeeping."

"Yeah." The touch of paper is very different from that of animal skin. It is very light and fragile, but it is very convenient to store and reuse. It is now the main writing and recording carrier of the Council Hall.

Qu Xue took the rarely seen paper roll carefully, and then carefully spread it out. After glancing at the drawing, beads of sweat gradually ooze from his forehead.

How loud the answer was when I was just appointed, how flustered I am now.

I thought that after studying hard for so long, I could be regarded as a success, but it turned out...

"Female, lord priestess, I can roughly understand the data on the drawing, but how to operate it, I really want to be a little..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can understand the data."

The other party said with a smile: "I can't understand the blueprints either. You should return to the team first. There will be another training on this aspect later. The person in charge of the training is...uh."

Just as he was talking, the sky suddenly darkened.

The priestess shut up, and everyone looked up, and it turned out that a giant dragon flew over, blocking the sunlight.

Everyone was stunned, wondering where Master Honglian was going to perform the mission, but then there was a flash of golden light, the dragon body disappeared, and then two figures descended from the sky.

boom!boom!

Ji Cheng and Hong Lian stood firm on the ground, the former tidied up his clothes, and waved his hands in greeting:

"Hi everyone."

"!"

The scene was quiet for a moment, Qu Xue came back to his senses, and quickly led the staff to stand up straight and salute:

"I've seen my lord! I've seen my lord Honglian!"

"My lord." The priestess stepped forward and saluted standardly:

"Everyone is here. The workshop line leader has just been appointed here. Now it's just waiting for you and Lord Honglian to guide and train them."

"Well, good." Ji Cheng understood the situation and sent the priestess back to the council hall.

Looking at the surprised faces in front of him, it was exactly the same as when he taught the prospecting and mining team how to make a pointer compass, he was a little helpless.

It may feel good to do things like appearing in front of people once in a while, but it is foreseeable that with the expansion of the application of steam engines in the future, you have to personally guide everything, it is really...

Doing everything by yourself is not an excellent quality that a manager should possess.

Therefore, Ji Cheng has always asked the leadership, as well as the team leaders of each group, to pull out a group of teams that can be independent.

In addition to the council hall, Lu Gong from the construction team, Ying Na from the breeding team, and Ying Quanyou from the up-and-coming reclamation team, all of them did a good job.

They are either talented or willing to use their brains. In terms of their respective fields of responsibility, they really save themselves a lot of worry.

The spinning and weaving group mentioned the clothing design last time, and it remains to be seen. As for the other groups, it is hard to say...

It's still that the education and training haven't kept up, so now I have to do more by myself.

"Let's go, enter the workshop, the temporary workshop line manager is called Qu Xue, right? You spread the drawings on the table, everyone come over, now we start from the first drawing, and we are talking and doing it, everyone cheers up and be serious .

You should know that workshop workers need to master qualified skills within the specified time, otherwise they will still be eliminated, and this specified time is - after the first steam wagon is assembled today.

Including the temporary workshop line leader. The reason why it is temporary means that if it is not competent, it will be replaced. Do you understand? "

"Understood, my lord!"

Qu Xue and the other workers nodded together, a little nervous.

They pricked up their ears and listened attentively to every word the adults said, and stared wide-eyed, watching the corresponding steps demonstrated by Master Guren next to them.

......

In a workshop assembly line with a high degree of automation, it is normal to produce forty or fifty vehicles an hour.

Now the workshop in Damimura is definitely incomparable, and teaching must be taken into consideration, but the manufacturing speed of one car a day is still fully achievable.

When the sun was setting and the workshop finished the last process, everyone pushed out a black mechanical monster.

There are eight wheels in total, the cab with the cylinder chimney in the front, and the cargo box in the back. The overall shape is designed by myself. Ji Cheng thinks it is pretty cool~

He patted the front of the car and said, "Come on, try the car!

Knowing how to drive is also one of the skills you must master. After the car is built, it needs to be inspected, and any problems should be rectified in time. "

The division of labor is not so detailed now, and these things should be handed over to the production workshop as a matter of course.

Ji Cheng took out the oil-soaked sackcloth and the lighter set from the compartment of the driving trunk, lit the sackcloth, threw it into the boiler, and added firewood and coal.

After the boiler was heated up and the smoke from the flue was normal, he got into the main driver's seat and asked Qu Xue to sit in the co-pilot and study.

"In the first step, if we want to go forward, we should push the steering rod forward, otherwise, if we want to go backward, we should push it backward.

The second step is to open the valve, which provides power to start the car. If it is turned off, the power is turned off. The next one is the brake, which can be fully braked.

The third step is to adjust the connecting rod, control the wheel speed, slow down when starting, and slow down when stopping.

The fourth step is to control the steering wheel and adjust the direction in due course.Well, the car is normal and has started running. "

Amidst the rumbling sound, the black steam truck ran faster and faster, whistling past the crowd.

The strong wind is blowing, which is an intuitive feeling of strength and speed.

The workshop workers were a little afraid, but more excited, this was built by themselves!

Hearing the bursts of cheers coming from outside the car, Ji Cheng smiled.

From nothing, to a steam wagon.

That's awesome, isn't it?
