Chapter 369:Artisan's Crisis

The double repair needs to be gradual, and it is impossible to improve too much at once.

The time was slowly pushed to November 1616, and heavy snowfall began in the Liaodong region.The freezing and freezing restrictions on people's activities, and even most of the territory of the "Revolutionary Army" began to become cold, but in many places in Jinzhou, it was still hot.

The only way for passers-by to dominate the world at the end of tomorrow is to give full play to their own scientific and technological advantages and make great progress in advance of the industrial revolution.But the two important resources of the industrial revolution are indispensable - coal and iron.Liaodong Peninsula is good, there are fields, and there are fields to be transported by sea, which is the lack of these two important resources.

At that time, the British cut down all their trees in order to make iron.However, there are many coal mines, and the industrial development is out of control.But if the Revolutionary Army does not get enough coal and iron, it will be troublesome.

Without coal, you can replace it with wood, after all, wood can also be used as fuel.But this iron mine is really blind.The constraints of raw materials made the "Revolutionary Army" extremely uncomfortable, and they could only strengthen their mineral acquisitions, especially from Tianjin and Shandong.

After Yuan light shadow communicated the relationship between Zheng Guifei and the "Revolutionary Army", Tianjin Port began to transport goods to Lushun.A large number of ships travel to and from the sea, each carrying a dozen tons of cargo.Hundreds of tons of supplies can be brought every day.Most of them are coal irons that Zhou Qingfeng named.

Similarly, the blessing of the Todong factory Ma Gong sent the "Revolutionary Army" Xu Hongru, the head of the White Lotus Church.This teaching leader not only greatly increased the high-level strength of the "Revolutionary Army", but also gave the "Revolutionary Army" all the industries accumulated in Shandong for hundreds of years.

After Xu Hongru's use of value was completed, Fan Waner, as the vice minister of the Ministry of Security, went to Shandong to take over the various industries of Bailian.She is Xu Hongru's eight disciples of the fruit of the only three, the original left in Shandong two other brothers and brothers only good at business, in her "persuasion" also obediently to the "revolutionary army" effect.

The White Lotus provided the Revolutionary Army with millions of silver, countless shops and industries, and a complete underground network.With the existence of this network, Shandong's coal and iron resources can also be used by the "Revolutionary Army".Although the level of logistics and mining in this year is very poor, it is better to let the ironmaking furnace of the "Revolutionary Army" steel plant not turn off.

However, such a large-scale import trade makes the "Revolutionary Army" financial very dangerous, and the loss of silver is very serious.If the White Lotus had not contributed a large sum of money, Xu Bing of the Ministry of the Interior would have declared himself bankrupt.

In order to balance the trade, several traversal of the "Revolutionary Army" racked their brains.Their first thought was to check how England engaged in foreign trade—and did they still use it?It is written in the history books and political books.The textile industry developed by the “enclosure movement” and “sheep eating people”.

Forget it, where are we going to get the wool?It is useless to get the wool, and it has to be spun.Does that have to get Jenny spinning machine?But spinning is actually good.

Thinking about it, Zhou Qingfeng could only make an idea at a high-level meeting: "Limited by the supply of raw materials, the development of the steel processing industry is lagging behind."However, the timber resources of the mountains are good, and we have also trained a large number of carpenters, which can be engaged in wood processing industry.

The engineering department has created human, animal and hydro-driven carpentry lathes, planers, sawing machines.It is necessary to invest in this area.The wood processing industry is doing well, after all, the current development of shipbuilding is not a lack of wood.”

Shipbuilding?

The passers-by talked about it.

Li Shuwei first affirmed that the shipbuilding industry is absolutely to develop, "We are now in a safe place, and the external traffic depends on ships."But in fact, whether it is marine fishing or external transportation, our ships are not enough.Relying on outsourcing ships is too slow and expensive, and we still need to build our own shipbuilding capacity.”

Stone wants coal to be iron, and he hates not to increase the capacity controlled by the current "Revolutionary Army" tenfold.He also raised his hands and feet in favor of shipbuilding, "My second set of iron smelting furnace is about to be built, this time deliberately using a steam engine to drive the wind, the furnace temperature will be greatly increased, the smelting efficiency can be increased several times, the only thing missing is the raw materials."

Zhao Ze of the engineering department also nodded and agreed, "We have more carpenters at present, especially after semi-mechanized equipment such as carpentry lathes are done, the efficiency of processing wood is increased by dozens of hundreds of times."Primary carpentry can do a very beautiful job.As long as the processing of large plates and keel is completed, we can start building from some simple ship types and gradually upgrade them.”

Xu Bing also agreed, "While the silver scraped by the White Lotus religion is still there, build a ship."Initial can invest in thirty thousand two, excavate the dock, build a gantry crane, build a plant, lay the transportation track in the factory, and train employees.But I was afraid to build this place after three or four months."

People also looked at Zhou Qingfeng, the latter said: "Soldiers shipyards now began to plan construction, before the first short and fast project, get a wood processing plant to practice."We need a lot of furniture, and it is not enough to build houses to process wood, even if it is necessary to pre-process wood.”

People agreed to build a wood processing plant first.

After the resolution was issued, Zhao Zeli of the Engineering Department drew 20 key carpenters, plus a hundred carpenter apprentices to set up the shelves of the processing plant.Sang has a deep as the old backbone, this time directly become the processing plant ..., the chief technician.

“Didn’t you say I was the director?”Sang had received this paper appointment, and the angry eyebrows were raised.When the factory was formed, the carpenters inside the engineering department were hotly discussing, and everyone felt that the head of this new workshop must be deep.For this reason, Lao Sang is happy to be humble every day, saying that he obeys the organizational arrangements, in fact, he has long been thinking about the position of the director in his heart.

As a result, he became the chief technician, which was very difficult to be very different.

The Department of Engineering is responsible for providing a list of personnel, and the Department of Administration is responsible for reviewing the allocation.The audit opinion clearly stated that "San has a deep master skills, but the level of education is not high, the lack of management ability, and it is good to serve as a technical work."

Sang has a deep word and does not understand it after seeing the audit opinion.When he came back to the heart, it was even more painful, this means that he was "opening his eyes" and could only work hard.For a time, sad and angry, the nose sour and sour want to cry.

The wood processing plant was built on the Qingyun River east of Jinzhou, where a construction team has been ordered to build a dam and use water as much as possible.The "Revolutionary Army" is currently rich in labor, and thousands of farmers come out to work this winter to make money, and they can mix three meals a day.

Both sides of the river are in the big building, from the thousands of mountains felled wood with a carriage pulled here, seen simple repair can be used to build sheds.At present, the construction of the "Revolutionary Army" four or five meters high shed is already familiar with the road, as long as a few columns, you can put the roof up.A few hundred square meters of work shed for three or five days is enough to build.

The sad Sang stood deep on the banks of the river, and in front of him was a hydropower sawmill that had just been installed.Several carpentry apprentices brought large pieces of wood from the carriage to the saw blade of the sawmill.

The sawing strip is driven by a flywheel storage and pulled back and forth.The flywheel is powered by water trucks on the banks of the river.This is already the second generation of hydropower sawmills manufactured by the engineering department, and flywheel storage has greatly improved efficiency.

The carpentry apprentices pushed the trees above the chest diameter of 30 centimeters to the saw blade, and the humping sawmills sounded to make people feel relaxed and happy.In the past, it took several thick men to spend a day to saw the wood, and now it is a very smooth thick plank in just a few minutes.This efficiency has been something that people dare not think about in the past.

Sang had the same shock when he saw the sawmill for the first time, and felt that with this thing, the carpenter's good day came.But in less than a week, he felt that the carpenter's good days were only over.Because the sawmill is only a labor-saving, the subsequent carpentry lathes have been saved.

In the past, to build a fixed size rounded wooden stick, it takes a few years of exercise by a carpenter, and it takes time to make it.But now it is too simple, as long as the three-month study of the junior diploma, know how to measure, understand the number of drawings, directly the roughed wood into the lathe.

As soon as the feed shaft of the lathe turned, the wood clattered under the knife into a light-slip wooden stick.Then use sandpaper to grind the stick a little, and finally measure the diameter, the error can easily be controlled within a few millimeters - in the past these are the master's fine work, now an apprentice can be completed in only half an hour.

Sang had a deep first time to see the carpentry lathe was also very shocked, but immediately felt afraid.

When the British engaged in the industrial revolution, a large number of replacement machines were invented.Workers who lost their jobs were so fearful and angry that even the British government at the time felt the situation was serious.Angry unemployed workers smashed machines, dismantled factories and demanded jobs.

But none of this stopped the Industrial Revolution.

“What can we do with old carpenters?”Sang has a deep sense of crisis, the reason why he is so keen on the position of the director is that he feels that he can be safely worried about being a leader - now it is good, technician?Let’s talk about your crisis!

“Master Sang, we have a new furniture structure here.There is a place we don’t understand, can you give us a point?”A young man came running up, holding a drawing in his hand.

Three views of the parts of a chair on the drawing.This thing is used in mechanical manufacturing, and ordinary people really do not understand it.Sang had a deep eye, and his heart was even more secretly exclaiming, “What is this picture above?”I do not understand the truth."

"Let me go of the drawing first, I will also look at a few more, I will tell you."Sang couldn't say he couldn't understand at all, he could only fool around with it first.He saw that the young post-sudents of this question were also seventeen or eight years old, went to overnight school, went to training courses, worked during the day, read at night, and learned things very quickly.

Young descendants leave, Sang has a deep look at the drawings is a deep sigh.He left the factory with his back and walked along a sandstone road to the dormitory near the factory.In the dormitory area, a large row of houses was built, and he divided it as chief technician.This house is worse than his house in Fushun, but it is extremely rare at the moment.

Sang has a deep family in Jinzhou City, and he currently lives alone.In the single room of the dormitory, he looked at the books on the table through the sun outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh and pick it up, "I have been working for a lifetime of old carpenter, even a later life is not as good as a later life, this face rested on it."Do I really have to learn at my age?”
