In the new model of the Institute of Technology created by Huang Chengyan, it is generally based on the architectural style of the Han Dynasty, with a flat and graceful atmosphere.

The School of Engineering naturally trains the bachelor's degree in engineering, but this time, it is more about training workers.

Any new ruling class trying to replace the old class will package the interests of its own class into the interests of the whole, and Fei Qian is of course no exception. But it cannot be said that this is wrong, it cannot be packaged, but it depends on whether there is specific space for society to develop productivity.

A big bearded man cannot determine everything, and Fei Qian cannot determine everything, he can only plant seeds.

It is obvious that the Han Dynasty was an agriculture-based society, and the agricultural population accounted for the majority. In such an environment, it was against productivity regardless of agriculture to engage in industry, and it was impossible to promote the working class. Fei Qian was very clear about this, but the construction of a new engineering college had nothing to do with the class, because both agriculture and industry were ruled in the Han Dynasty, but the characteristics of the industrial population determined that it was easier to obtain more knowledge than the agricultural population.

It is more concentrated and easier to achieve professionalization, just like the popular education promoted by the potential army.

Simply put, promoting industrial development at the moment will to a certain extent make it easier to develop people's wisdom and more conducive to improving productivity.

Development, dialectical.

The beauty of the newborn.

Overall, the engineering college involved in Huang Chengyan is generally composed of four courtyards. The first entrance is a vast teaching ground for gatherings or preaching. The temple of the Patriarch is worshipped in the middle. If nothing unexpected happens, Master Lu Banlu. There are couplets boasting about Lu Ban's meritorious deeds on both sides, and small wooden pieces are pasted on red painted pillars...

Fei Qian clicked here, "Add another one."

Huang Chengyan blurted out, "Mozi?"

Fei Qian nodded.

Huang Chengyan said: "I have thought about it a long time ago, but I just worry... if I add it, it will cause criticism..."

Lu Ban does not engage in politics, so Lu Ban is popular, but Mo Zi is not popular.

Fei Qian pondered for a moment and said, "You can't just cover it, Mo Zi should be in this position."

Huang Chengyan's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded.

On both sides of the entire cathedral are two courtyards that are exactly the same, surrounding the corridor passage in the middle, and are a long list of church houses, foundation tiles, and fake trees made of fine branches.

Fei Qian also deliberately staggered some angles and lifted the roofs of these teaching houses. He saw that it was basically the same as the previous teaching houses, and it was a seating pattern without a blackboard...

『I will change it here too...』 Fei Qian clicked the teaching hall, 『The students set up a table and a bench, and the teachers set up a podium, a chair, and a blackboard...』

It is a bit similar to later classrooms, but there are more backrest chairs for teachers. If there is a backrest chair, it is the teacher’s own business if the teacher doesn’t sit. But if it is not, in the present, the teacher will not be able to teach students standing and teach students, and students dare not sit freely and listen to the teacher standing and speaking.

"Hu bench and table?" Huang Chengyan was still somewhat worried, "Will it...?"

"It's okay." Fei Qian knew what Huang Chengyan was worried about, "It's not that all of them were changed, half of them... The teaching house of Hu bench and Hu table was used to teach the art of work, and the teaching house of the seat was still the way of classics... My father-in-law, think about it, the learning of craftsmen, do craftsmen often get up, and see how these apprentices imitate them? Do you often have to patrol back and forth? If you step on the seat, it's even more indecent, and wood chips and dust are not convenient to clean. In addition, getting up and sitting down will only add cumbersomeness. It's better to use Hu bench and Hu table to clean it after teaching."

"That's true." Huang Chengyan thought for a while, nodded and said, "The lord is very worried."

The troubles that Fei Qian mentioned were indeed encountered in previous engineering schools. Generally, there is no problem in teaching classical culture courses, but when you have to do practical operations, the teaching houses with seating mode are often a bit troublesome.

Students have to kneel down. It is inconvenient to sit on the table and it is easy to cause some wood chips and sand to fall on the table. Then it is very troublesome to clean the prepared table.

If you can't clean it up, you won't say that someone's chrysanthemums will be pierced in the next class...

If it is changed to a wooden floor with a stool and a hu table, then you can just sweep it, which is naturally more convenient and clean.

Of course, something deeper can change cognition through daily life...

There is no need to talk to Lao Huang about this.

Fei Qian nodded slightly and built the roof of the model of the teaching house again.

Now it is only half of the changes. If it is implemented well and has a great impact, it may be necessary to change all the teaching houses in Hutiao and Hutiao mode.

The Han Dynasty continued to use the seating system because the productivity and means of production have not reached a certain level. After all, not all carpenters are available in all places. Iron and copper nails and other things are equivalent to money within a certain period of time. The professional mortise and tenon structure of carpenters is not something that anyone can do casually.

Therefore, sitting in the sky and using a stone as a mat is a last resort. Otherwise, who wouldn’t want to make your legs and feet more comfortable? A chrysanthemum is better?

Now, naturally there is no need to follow the "old habit".

To worship Mozi is to break some habits.

Changing the teaching house also breaks some habits.

And such "habits" are more like a circle and a kind of confinement.

Come a little by little.

After the two church buildings on the left and right, going around to the rear is the office area and the dormitory of faculty and staff. At the same time, there are various small-scale practical workshops...

On one side is wood, metal, and clay.

On the other side are silk, cloth, and textile.

Metallurgy and other things that require fire are naturally in another place.

『This kind of workshop should be placed outside...』 Fei Qian pointed to the workshops and said, "Although there are workshops in the courtyard, it is convenient to communicate, but there are many hidden dangers. Open flames are easy to prevent, but candles are difficult to control... In addition to kitchens and woods, etc., a smaller courtyard and pool pavilion is built in the spare place, which is also convenient for daily professors and doctoral gatherings and leisure...』

Huang Chengyan did not hesitate to respond to this change, and then expressed his desire to thank Fei Qian for his arrangements on behalf of the professors and doctoral craftsmen. After all, in this way, the backyard is almost a comfortable place, and the salary index has risen sharply.

Fei Qian waved his hand, then put the model aside and asked Huang Chengyan about some improvements to the equipment.

Fei Qian came to Huang Chengyan. In fact, it was secondary to see the model of this new Institute of Technology. The seeds were also arranged casually, mainly for machines.

The most important one is the cotton machine.

The output of cotton is gradually expanding, which makes Feiqian have to have corresponding machines to increase production efficiency. In the past, manpower for other textiles might have been drawn, but if the transfer is drawn, it will naturally affect the production of other fabrics.

This is a contradiction that Fei Qian must resolve.

There is hemp in China. Most of the cloths in the current Han Dynasty are not cotton, but linen.

Hemp does not equal cotton and cannot be universal.

Cotton is also not equal to silk.

But there is a similarity, that is, these raw materials are not directly usable, they all need to be processed, and then turned into threads and finally become finished products.

The raw materials for silk and linen are silk cocoons and flax, but they cannot be used directly. Silk cocoons must be reeled before they can be turned into raw silk for spinning; and flax also needs to be soaked and broken, twisted together and spun into thread or yarn, so that they can be used to weave into cloth. Silk reeling requires a silk reeling machine, and spinning requires a spinning machine.

Similarly, after the cotton is processed through the rod, elastic and other processes, it becomes a yarn machine, which is the spun cotton machine.

Fei Qian knew that there was a spinning machine in later generations, which was a three-spinning wheel invented by Huang Daopa. It could spin three yarns at the same time, which was a very amazing invention...

But unfortunately, Fei Qian only knew its name and did not know its craftsmanship.

Although both Huang Chengyan and Huang Daopo’s surname are Huang, they cannot be the same. Just like both of them have surnames Ma, one is Ma and the other is Ma, the attention is immediately different.

What is placed in front of Fei Qian now is the instrument models of various fabrics.

From silk to cotton, there are all.

However, there are relatively fewer equipment belonging to the ranks of cotton.

Cotton is a new thing for the big man. It is obviously not realistic or economical to train apprentices from scratch. So Feiqian needs to expand the production of cotton and cotton cloth, so he must draw craftsmen or veterans of other fabrics, which is the inevitable choice of Feiqian at the moment.

Similarly, although other fabric industries have similar textile principles, it will save some trouble when transferring to cotton. However, it is not so easy to cultivate a veteran in other fabric industries.

So, this is the current dilemma.

Because in the Qin and Han dynasties, most of the spinning and silk reeling processes even if mechanically involved, many of them needed to be done manually, which was completely different from the later generations of those who didn't have to worry about pressing a button.

Unless it is possible to improve other fabric industry equipment or invent a machine that adapts to cotton.

Take the silk reel that has developed relatively well for example. The most advanced silk reeling machine at present is the hand-cranked cart.

Mechanism, to a certain extent, represents the stability of repetition.

At the beginning, the reel was probably just a simple H-shaped wood rack, just for wrapping.

Later, during the Warring States Period, it was improved to a pulley-type reeling tray. The reeling tray basically had the prototype of a hand-cranked tray. It was basically made of bamboo, four corners or hexagons, connected with short-spokes, and connected in an interlocking manner with a shaft. When used, it was placed on the reeling kettle. When used, it was pulled directly to make it rotate continuously, and the wire strips led out of the reeling kettle were directly wrapped around the frame.

After the Qin and Han Dynasties, formed hand-cranked reels appeared.

This is a set of equipment that seems very simple in later generations, and it can even be said to be very inconvenient. However, even so, it is currently the most advanced production tool in the Han Dynasty. A simple deconstruction composed of components such as stoves, kettles, cushions, eyes, hooks, etc. makes the output of the wire have a certain stability in the continuous repetition, and can obtain relatively excellent wires and enter the next production step.

Perhaps the conditions in some areas were backward, or perhaps the government was careless about the hand-cranked carts invented between the Qin and Han Dynasties, and even in the Ming Dynasty, some places were used, which made people admire their vitality on the one hand, and on the other hand, it really made people sigh at the technological progress of China, which was speechless.

Although this hand-cranked car is simple, it cannot be used alone. Simply put, most people cannot draw square and circle with one hand, and they will repeat it without making any mistakes.

Generally speaking, two people are required to ensure that a hand-cranked reel can be produced in an orderly manner. Otherwise, unless you are like an old naughty boy or a little dragon girl, you can do the wire drawing and the other hand drawing a circle to make the winding action...

Fei Qian looked at the model of the hand-cranked car, flipped left and right, then sighed slightly, and said, "This is the current disadvantage. The power of a person is ultimately limited. Even if he spends his whole life, he collects it from thread to thread, and forms it from meridians, and the links are extremely skillful, how many pieces can he get? The new Institute of Technology, the word "new" is born from then on."

Huang Chengyan nodded.

Perhaps among the many older generation scholars, only Huang Chengyan can understand the meaning of Fei Qian's measures. A country's strength is multifaceted, and it requires both the aspects of scriptures, weapons, armor and weapons, and even iron nails and wires.

The most important point of Feiqian's current territory, especially the economic prosperity of Guanzhong Sanfu, is that there are more products than other regions. The basis for this "more" is that Feiqian uses a large number of machines and constantly requires craftsmen to improve, innovate, and use, so that more items can be produced under the same manpower, or even less manpower.

Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and some people from Shandong racked their brains and found it difficult to understand why Fei Qianneng had so much money, and then they didn't understand why there was such a big difference between the same piece of land. In fact, it was very simple. In later generations, there was a special noun, "scissors gap".

The price difference between industry and agriculture is very large.

People in Shandong are staring at agricultural products such as grain, grass, and farmland, trying to pass on their families for thousands of years with small peasant economics. Feiqian has been focusing on the development of industry and commerce from the beginning, and Feiqian is very clear that agriculture is the foundation, and it can only be the foundation, not the whole of a society.

Just like people prefer to sit on mats and chairs, rather than chrysanthemums sticking to cold stones every day, if conditions permit, people will choose better ones.

Cotton quilts and robes are undoubtedly the cheapest and comfortable "mats or chairs" during the Little Ice Age.

However, increasing manpower in this area will affect the production in other aspects.

Especially silk.

Silk is equivalent to gold in the Western Regions, especially in the Hu Shang.

Similarly, although Hu merchants don’t like stackcloth, stackcloth is something that almost all industries need, especially if it is used more in the military, and it cannot be cut at will.

Therefore, at present, we can only start with machinery.

"You big craftsmen... don't have any ideas?" Fei Qian put down the model of the hand-cranked car and asked Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan smiled bitterly and said, "There are some, but they are not very practical..."

"Let's hear." Fei Qian said while looking at other equipment.

Huang Chengyan said: "At the beginning, some people wanted to use hydraulic power... As a result, there was a lot of mud and sand here, and the bearings were often stuck in mud... Lord, you know, this is different from the forged equipment..."

Fei nodded subtly.

Hydraulic saws and hydraulic forging are not always sawed or forged. They will only be put down when they are used. On the one hand, the machine's stress may not be able to bear continuously. On the other hand, whether it is a saw or iron material, it is not continuous. Empty saws and empty punches are very damaged.

The textile industry is different. The thread needs to be continuous. If it breaks, it means that many things need to be done over the top, so you can't stop at the right time when you open it...

"Later, some people said they used wind power," Huang Chengyan sighed, "This wind power is not reliable than hydraulic power... Even if the wind power is too big or small, just the wind direction... Is it better to use people directly... Later, some people wanted to use animal power... The result was not good. Is mules and donkeys used to pull mills? It doesn't matter if they are not light or heavy, but they are used to pull wires...

Huang Chengyan smiled bitterly and said, "So he went around a long way and came back again, and he could only use manpower..."

Fei Qian also fell silent.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, Fei Qian heard Huang Chengyan talk about it so much hope and disappointment that had passed in the process. If it weren't for Fei Qian's persistence and Huang Chengyan's scientific research expenses as a big test worker, how many times could an ordinary craftsman do such improvements?

Later textiles used electricity, stable, convenient and fast energy to drive textile machines, and people worked in three shifts without resting.

Before electricity, it is steam, and the boiling point of water is generally fixed, so it can naturally be effectively controlled...

But the problem is that at present, there is neither electricity nor a steam engine. I won’t mention electricity. Steam engines are also things that require materials science, metallurgy technology, manufacturing technology, etc. to be met before they can be unlocked. It is not that after coal, water and steel are clicked, they will be automatically synthesized.

So, after going around and around, there was still no progress?

So what to do? Cultivating more apprentices is a good idea. Apprentices are difficult to get out of school for less than three or five years. Some of them may be intentional by the master, but more of them are limited by their personal abilities, just like in later generations, there are also a large number of factory workers who do not want to continue their further studies and development.

This is very troublesome.

Fei Qian frowned and thought.

At the beginning, Fei Qian might have seen this problem too easily.

After all, this is inevitable. For Fei Qian, the memory of the big machinery and factories in later generations was too profound. It would affect Fei Qian a little bit, which made him accidentally develop an illusion. Now he needs to make up for and correct it...

Fei Qian's eyes were patrolling back and forth on various mechanical models on the table.

There must be something to improve. Fei Qian believed in this, but he couldn't find it out for a while.

Fei Qian closed his eyes and recalled the various fragments in his mind. Suddenly, a picture jumped out and then flashed by.

Fei Qian followed, then turned around and looked at the first hand-cranked cart carefully. After rummaging over and over for a long time, he suddenly grabbed the fragment that flashed past, "If this... is changed to... the way of pedaling...

"Pedal?!" Huang Chengyan murmured and repeated, then clapped his hands, "Pedal! Yes, pedal! Why didn't I expect it?!Pedal, haha, pedal!"

The disadvantages, or disadvantages of hand-cranking carts, are that they need to cooperate with each other. One person pulls the silk from the pot of the silk cocoon and continuously on the head of the wire, and the other person manually transfers the cart so that the wire can be wrapped around the cart. If the two people cooperate without tacitly, it will cause problems with the wire when they are fast or slow.

Now if it is changed to a foot pedal, it is just a small change in the rotation mode of the reel, then the textile worker can control the speed by himself, step faster when the wire is pulled smoothly, and slow down when there are some problems. The hands can be freed and the wire is specially connected. This not only liberates both hands, but also releases twice the labor force!

"Where are people! Go and call the boss! Haha! Step, step!" Huang Chengyan took the hand-cranked car in Fei Qian's hand and rushed out of the showroom in a blink of an eye. In the corridor, he shouted and greeted the craftsmen, and immediately improved according to Fei Qian's idea, and even threw Fei Qian aside.

Fei Qian was stunned for a while, then looked at Huang Chengyan and others who were fully committed, and even quarreled loudly for some questions, and couldn't help but smile.
Chapter completed!
