Of course, the reason why Fang Xiaoyue worked so hard on the salt farm was mainly because salt was not only an important means for the temporary committee to earn funds, but also to prepare for the next chemical plant.
After all, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, soda ash, ammonium chloride, chlorine, etc. in the chemical industry are all produced from industrial salt.
Hydrochloric acid and caustic soda are extremely important chemical raw materials.
Not to mention anything else, just those steel materials need to be pickled before electroplating, and hydrochloric acid must be used for pickling.
It has to be said that the early days of starting a business were the busiest time. Fang Xiaoyue had just completed the equipment for the salt drying plant and crucible kiln, and the medical team on the other hand asked the industrial team to help make some surgical instruments.
After finishing those scalpels, surgical forceps, etc., in order to strengthen the communication range of PHS, the communication team came to visit again and asked the industrial team to help make several sets of antennas.
At this time, before Fang Xiaoyue said anything, Zhang Feifei was about to get angry.
What does this mean for the industrial group?
"Brother Ma, this won't work. Everyone is making low-level products every day. When will big industry develop?"
At this time, Zhang Feifei had completely regarded Fang Xiaoyue as the backbone of the industrial group, and would always run up to him and say a few words about anything.
Normally, Fang Xiaoyue would turn a deaf ear to Zhang Feifei's words and ignore them directly, but this time he said: "Indeed, if this continues, the territory will become larger and larger, and the number of people will increase, and the industrial team will be exhausted.
Maybe to meet everyone's needs, we still have to go to machine tools and power plants."
No way, during this period, Fang Xiaoyue was also a little tired. As Zhang Feifei said, she was doing some very low-skilled work every day, and no one could stand it.
Besides, if this continues, the industrial group will not be able to expand.
Soon, Zhang Feifei put the proposal to expand the industrial group to a regular meeting of the interim management committee.
The most critical aspect of this bill is the training of apprentices.
In addition to the carpenters, blacksmiths and other local indigenous people who have been recruited into the industrial group before, a group of young people also need to be selected to join the industrial group and become apprentices in the true sense!
After all, the local carpenters, blacksmiths, etc. seem to be skilled in their craftsmanship, but they are old after all. In addition to their own craftsmanship, it is basically impossible to keep up with modern technological learning.
In fact, even now, the carpenters and blacksmiths in the industrial group can only do some basic and simple work, instead of becoming modern technical masters after absorbing modern technical knowledge like those in time travel.
Only the younger apprentices can barely keep up with the learning progress.
Of course, according to Fang Xiaoyue's idea, the best way is to open schools first to educate children in modern basic knowledge and then provide vocational education.
Only in this way can we ensure that the quality of technical workers is qualified.
After all, in the society before time travel, every worker had at least nine years of compulsory education and had learned mathematics, physics, chemistry, natural knowledge, etc. At least in the judgment of many common sense issues, they would not make the mistakes of the local indigenous people.
.
To be honest, when I was leading apprentices before, including Zhang Feifei, I often felt headaches and weakness.
For example, craftsmen are required not to spit or smoke cigarettes when working in the warehouse, etc.
But it is difficult for those craftsmen to do it. Some of the habits and common sense they have developed over a long period of time are difficult to correct.
Fortunately, the interim management committee was also aware of this problem, and Zhang Feifei's motion was unanimously passed at the meeting.
Of course, Zhang Feifei's proposal is actually for temporary emergency use, and the interim management committee is also preparing a plan to open a school.
Chuanchuanzhong also has its own needs for schools.
Simply put, after a considerable number of time-travelers, the knowledge they have is no longer useful at this time. They need to re-learn and reposition their status in this group.
If they are not given the opportunity to re-learn, then when these time-travelers fall to the bottom of society, they will rebel.
In addition, at the beginning of the time travel, due to various reasons, more than 40 orphans were born in the dock area.
The oldest of these orphans is 16 years old and the youngest is over 1 year old. They are temporarily taken care of by the logistics team.
However, because they were too busy before, the logistics team only took care of these children by giving them enough food and warm clothes.
Therefore, even Fang Xiaoyue could often see this group of children playing wildly in the dock area.
In his words, if these children continue to play, they will be useless.
In addition, the greatest benefit of establishing a school is that it can integrate the indigenous children of this era into the modern education system, allowing them to receive a traditional education from the beginning, and eventually become a firm cornerstone of the traditional government.
Of course, whether it is training apprentices, establishing schools, or even developing coal mines and iron mines, this series of things all require people to do it and it takes time.
"Brother Ma, it's good morning."
In the early morning, the sun had not yet risen. Fang Xiaoyue was sitting in the cafeteria. In front of her were three salted eggs, a small plate of braised dried tofu, a small plate of pickles and a large bowl of steamed buns.
Although his recovery of strength is extremely slow now, his appetite is still quite astonishing.
His little fan in the industrial group, Wang Xiaogang, sat in front of him with a few steamed buns and porridge.
"morning."
Fang Xiaoyue nodded towards the other party, and continued to stuff the buns into her mouth one after another.
After conquering Qiongshan County, the logistics team of the Provisional Management Committee began to purchase agricultural and sideline products at designated locations in Qiongshan County, such as chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, pigs, etc., which also made the food in the canteen much better than before.
Of course, the two fishing boats that set sail for fishing regularly every day also made great contributions.
Especially today's breakfast actually included crab roe buns, which made many time travelers rush to the cafeteria early.
"Brother Marco, I heard that you made a steam engine?"
When he said this, Wang Xiaogang's eyes seemed to glow with golden light.
Since Wang Xiaogang was temporarily transferred to assist the transportation team in repairing and maintaining several ships, he did not stay in the industrial team during this time.
But as soon as he came back, he heard that Mr. Ma Tianfu had made a steam engine.
This made him sigh, the boss is the boss. Before Ma Tianfu came to the industrial team, the industrial team was just a scumbag and couldn't do anything. Now that the boss is here, the technology index of the industrial team is as low as
It jumped upwards slowly, as if it had been cheated.
Indeed, even if the steam engine was a power machine that was mostly eliminated in later generations, in this era, it is a heaven-defying artifact!
