Song Yang instilled the principle of steam into the craftsmen through the boiling of water.
Of course, what he can do now is enlightenment of principles.
As for the steam engine, it cannot be built now, so he did not explain it in detail.
Blacksmith skills could not keep up, and materials for making steam engines were also in short supply.
This thing must at least be made of iron, we can't just make a stone cylinder.
And now Jiangzhou's iron-making ability is very poor. At most, it can make swords, guns and weapons.
The level of making iron pots is very limited.
There are too few blacksmiths with high standards.
Currently, there are only two blacksmith professionals registered by Fang Zhe, one old and one young.
The young blacksmith's father is an experienced old blacksmith.
It’s easy to build pots, pans, iron rings and buckets.
It's a pity that he died in a natural disaster, so the little blacksmith didn't learn much.
As for the other old man, his right arm was disabled during the natural disaster and he couldn't swing a hammer at all.
My current job is to teach theoretical knowledge to young blacksmiths and other amateur blacksmiths.
So Song Yang asked Yu Ming to go to Ezhou because he wanted him to find out if there were any talents in iron-making and forging.
Daye was an important ironware production base in the Qian Dynasty, and there should be many excellent blacksmiths.
If you can find a few for Jiangzhou.
There is hope for Song Yang's steam engine.
The next day, Yu Ming set off smoothly.
This time we took the waterway straight to Yangxin.
Ma Cheng, the director of water transportation, also went with him.
The fleet going out this time can be regarded as the largest since the establishment of the water transport fleet.
There are five water vessels and three warships.
All 200 sailors were dispatched, and 300 sailors were also brought in reserve.
These 300 sailor reserves were selected from the refugees received this month.
When Ma Chenggang was about to form a water transport fleet, he proposed the idea of 700 people.
Now it has gradually reached scale.
The entire fleet, consisting of a thousand people, set off for Yangxin in a mighty manner.
With this thousand strong helping hands, Wang Ran can freely carry out expansion and recruitment work in Ezhou.
I believe that soon the entire Ezhou will fall into Song Yang's hands.
Farewell to Yu Ming, Song Yang returned to his teacher.
Teaching is now Song Yang's main job.
All government affairs in the new city have been handed over to Fang Zhe.
When Wei Nan didn't have a job, he would help teach at the school.
Although I served as a class teacher.
But his main job is still to assist Fang Zhe in government affairs management.
As for Fang Zhe, he may not be able to come to the school to teach once a day.
Things in Xincheng are too busy.
Fortunately for Fang Zhe, De'an sent him two helpers, both of whom had fled from Jianchang.
These two people worked as minor officials in the Yamen in Jianchang.
With more than a month of training, Fang Zhe also trained several local people as helpers.
In this way, Fang Zhe's work pressure has been reduced a lot.
Song Yang was very satisfied with these things.
Life is getting better and people are making progress.
Even God gives me face, and it almost rains when the wind blows.
The crops in the field have become vigorous again after being taken care of by the field protection team.
According to the latest yield per mu estimates, the average yield per mu of the tended fields around the city should reach 180 kilograms!
For this reason, Song Yang also specially publicly praised the dedication and hard work of the field protection team.
…
The days passed like this day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the seventh day of July.
Fellowship day is here!
In the first few days of July, the information on the young men and women participating in the main venue has been compiled.
If someone likes each other, they will check the other person's preferences and family composition in advance.
On the evening of July 6th, the venue was set up.
There are two venues in total, one is the main venue, mainly young people aged fourteen and above and below forty.
The other area is a branch venue, and the main participants are middle-aged, elderly and children.
This classification is mainly to create space for young people to interact and avoid interference from elders.
Of course, it also prevents children from causing trouble...
The main venue is at Wang Dabiao's training ground, and the branch venue is in the open space on the dock side.
Although there is no explicit prohibition on the two sides not to walk around each other, Song Yang has said that it is not recommended to run around.
The people's belief and admiration for Song Yang made them definitely follow Song Yang's suggestions.
For the great cause of population rejuvenation, young men and women entered the main venue one after another on the morning of the seventh day of July.
For this reason, the whole city has a day off today.
Today’s activities are mainly divided into three parts:
Work together, eat together, and entertain together.
The activity in the morning is working together.
The organizer, the Women's Federation, distributed bamboo strips to everyone, and one man and one woman or two men and two women worked together.
Weaving bamboo utensils...
Song Yang refused this activity at first. He was just a young man celebrating a festival, but he still asked others to work?
But then I thought about it, the friendship established during labor may allow both parties to see each other's character better.
So this event was decided.
At 2:00 a.m., everyone was basically here, more than 3,600 young people in total.
There are actually more than 8,000 young people in Fucheng. After all, most of them have no respect for face and have not signed up for secular ethics.
But Song Yang was also very happy. For the first time such an event was held, more than 3,000 people participated.
This is already nearly half of the people.
But what makes him more uncomfortable is that among the more than 3,000 people, the ratio of men to women is seriously imbalanced.
There are more than 2,000 men and only more than 800 women...
When the labor teams were divided at the end of Chenshi, Song Yang discovered that the original plan was directly disrupted.
Because the gender ratio is unbalanced, most groups are composed of two men and one woman, or even three men and one woman.
After we officially started weaving bamboo wares, this combination became interesting.
Lesbians have no chance at all!
"Little flower! Just rest! I'll do it!"
"Xiaohua! What I do is better than what he does! Just watch what I do!"
"Xiao Li! What do you think of my bamboo weaving?"
"Xiao Li! How can I let you get started? Come on, sit here for a while, I will finish it in a while."
At this moment, the treatment of lesbians has been unprecedentedly improved.
The gentlemen who can take the initiative to participate in the activities are somewhat of a social figure.
Therefore, it is also very active to seize the work from lesbians.
Song Yang walked around the venue, and 99% of the lesbians would not have a chance to make a move.
The remaining ones who can participate by hand are simple tasks such as passing a ribbon.
"My lord, actually, isn't this good? Whoever does well can be seen at a glance." Xiaoqian looked at this scene and said with a smile.
She never thought that the status of lesbians would be highlighted in this way.
Nearly a thousand labor teams were weaving bamboo utensils at the venue, and it was exactly as the prince said.
“Men and women work together so you don’t get tired!”
Look at those gay men, they sweat like rain and are tireless, and their hands fly cleanly...
Song Yang also nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes! This is good."
"In the future, this activity can be promoted and strive to get more people to participate."
"Starting from this year, every year...huh?"
Song Yang suddenly looked at the group in front of him.
Tong Qian followed Song Yang's gaze and looked over, seeing that it was Gongsun Qi's group.
