If the steamship brought a spiritual shock to the three Mohists, then the steam locomotive had already shocked them.
It caused a double shock both mentally and physically!
And it is continuous and long-lasting...
On the circular track, the steam engine roared and raced, and its speed was no longer much slower than that of a horse.
In the carriage of a steam engine train, the three poets sat on chairs for a long time before waking up from a dream, marveling at how powerful Jiangzhou's craftsmen were.
It is possible to build something as miraculous as a train.
"You will study hard in the future. I will also develop more advanced things. I need your help from the Mohist family."
Song Yang still knew something about the Mohist family.
And the three have already demonstrated their abilities.
Song Yang knew that as long as he used it reasonably.
These three people can help Jiangzhou's scientific research and technological capabilities rise to a big level.
"Whatever the prince has ordered, we three brothers and sisters will do our best to serve the prince!"
The three Mohists hurriedly clasped their fists and agreed.
For them, this is an excellent opportunity to join Jiangzhou, how could they miss it.
Song Yang smiled and let them take a look around in the carriage.
Or it drove the three Mohists around for more than ten times before stopping.
After getting off the steam engine, the Sanmo people felt a little shaky when walking.
It feels like stepping on cotton.
They returned to the residence arranged for them by Song Yang in a fog.
What they saw on the train was refreshing.
The carriages are designed to accommodate people at first glance. The seats are more comfortable than carriages, and one carriage can hold dozens of people.
The windows on the carriage are all made of glass, and the Mohist, who has never seen the world, said that this is natural crystal that is priceless.
Song Yang didn't explain too much and just asked them to see and learn more in Jiangzhou recently.
the next day.
When the three people came to see Song Yang, Song Yang and Fang Zhe were both there.
Fang Zhe also heard about the three Mohists.
When he came to work in the morning, Song Yang also called Fang Zhe over and asked him to see if the Sanmo man had any work arrangements.
Fang Zhe tested the abilities of the three of them again and finally made a rough distribution.
Senior brother Wang Hun was assigned to work as a scribe in the Yamen Accounting Room, which made full use of his arithmetic ability.
Starting from the bottom, you can also quickly understand Jiangzhou's operating model.
The second senior brother Qi Yuan was sent to the carpenter's workshop.
Jiangzhou Carpentry Workshop has expanded many times and is now very large-scale.
It is said to be a workshop, but actually it is more accurate to call it a wood processing factory.
There are several departments in a wood processing plant, each performing its own duties.
Among the busier ones are the production of musket butts and mechanical accessories.
Although the main part of the musket is made of steel, the accessories such as the butt are made of wood.
There are also wooden frames and wooden wheels for the artillery.
These departments are only responsible for producing corresponding products. Once the workers are skilled, the production speed will be greatly improved.
The carpentry workshop is the second busiest workshop after the steel factory.
Qi Yuan can fully display his strengths here.
Xiao Xu Ling has not been assigned any specific work for the time being. She is good at mechanisms used on the battlefield.
What about ballistae, bows and arrows, crossbows, rams, and ladders?
Song Yang doesn't need this kind of battlefield machinery, siege equipment, etc. for the time being.
Once the hot weapons are deployed, these things will basically have no chance to take action.
Finally, Fang Zhe suggested that Xu Xiaoling first go to a blacksmith workshop for an internship, or go to a woodworking shop for an internship.
At this time, Yu Ming came and came to talk to Song Yang about official matters.
After hearing Xu Ling's work assignment, I remembered the bet I made yesterday about dismantling things.
Yesterday he was considered a loser, and Yu Ming was thinking about taking revenge on Xu Ling.
He told Song Yang to let Xu Lin follow him and continue to dismantle various abandoned mechanical equipment in the military camp, just to see if there was any room for improvement.
Song Yang thought about it and realized that this was possible.
Maybe those things can be used as waste, so he nodded in agreement.
The three writers have devoted themselves to studying and living in Jiangzhou, and now it’s time to talk about the price.
"That...um..."
Everyone dispersed, only Gao Junyan was left, and this guy was hesitant.
Song Yang waved his hand and said, "Say whatever you want!"
"Your Majesty, I've asked San Mo to come over and see if you can bring back some chickens and ducks?" Gao Junyan thought about it and said.
He has given up on big livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep.
Wang Hun and the others now don't see any contribution to Jiangzhou.
So Gao Junyan felt like he couldn't get anything good.
Just think of the three professional technicians and order chicken and duck seedlings.
"Haha! You guy, you found three people to do business with me!" Song Yang laughed.
Gao Junyan grinned sheepishly and said: "Your Majesty, there are indeed some shortcomings in Jiangning. Just take it along... Just take it along."
"Okay. Then I'll give you five hundred chickens and ducks each, and twenty pigs, cows and sheep."
After listening to Gao Junyan's words, Song Yang smiled and said.
"Uh! So many?" Gao Junyan couldn't believe it.
Originally, three people could exchange a total of 1,800 chickens and ducks, which would be pretty good.
In the end, this was doubled, and pigs, cows and sheep were also given.
Song Yang patted Gao Junyan on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Old Gao. I know what you are thinking. I feel that these three people are of little use. It is true. Now they seem to know nothing. But people, you have to take a long-term view."
For Song Yang, what he is optimistic about is the ideological awareness and learning ability of the three Mohists.
Yesterday at the construction site, the three Mohists had the most problems.
They listened to Song Yang's lecture for the first time and were exposed to modern science for the first time.
Being able to ask some relatively targeted questions shows that they have strong thinking ability.
Later, Song Yang communicated with all three of them during the assessment process, and he could feel that the ideological consciousness of the three Mohists was much higher than that of other craftsmen.
To put it simply, their ability to understand new things is much better than others.
Song Yang has a lot of new things in his hands. The encyclopedia even has a rough guide on how to build a nuclear reactor.
You can imagine how complete the encyclopedia here is.
The steam engine and locomotive that Song Yang brought out now are simply too basic.
What Song Yang needs now is these people with good learning ability and receptive ability.
In this way, he can teach new knowledge with less worry and effort.
Although schools in Jiangzhou are still teaching, it is still early for children to graduate before they can work. It will take at least two or three years.
Song Yang shared some of his thoughts with Gao Junyan.
Gao Junyan stood up and clasped his fists in admiration: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I don't have as many subordinate officials as I do."
"It's just a different vision..." Song Yang muttered.
"Okay. Let's go find Zhang Heng to pick up the things."
Song Yang wrote the note casually, stamped it and handed it to Gao Junyan.
Although there are livestock farms in Fucheng of Jiangzhou, the scale is too small and they can barely supply the Fucheng with food.
Not to mention giving these to Gao Junyan.
The reward given by Song Yang came from Pengze, where animal husbandry is now very developed.
Gao Junyan received the order, and Song Yang told him again:
"Be careful on the way back. It's rained a lot recently and the river has swelled a lot."
Gao Junyan clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the old man in Jiangning said there will be heavy rains this year and there may be floods. I see that the rains have been getting heavier and heavier in recent days, so I guess there may be real danger."
"Yes. I have asked Yu Ming to strengthen the river embankment and build an additional embankment on the east side of the lake. Documents have been distributed to various places along the river. You must also focus on flood control and waterlogging prevention after you return."
Song Yang felt a little worried when he mentioned this.
The weather has been good for more than three years, and the people can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It looks like things won't be smooth sailing this year.
On this day, I will do it as soon as I say it, and it will last for several days.
It is estimated that the flood may really be coming.
"Xiaoguan understands. At the beginning of the month, Xiaguan had people tidy up the river embankment and the flood discharge lake was also prepared."
