The Wei-Zheng war has just begun, and Commissioner Li doesn't think that this kind of movement can cheer up the surrounding powers. Without adding some ingredients, how can it be reduced to a pot of porridge?
Fighting from spring to autumn is just ridiculous.
"Shou Li, the Huaizhongcheng wood factory has started trial operation."
"Oh? So fast."
Jiangyin City began to relocate, and many carpentry operations were gradually transferred. Except for the shipyard, most of the rest were moved to Huaizhong City.
In fact, the shipyards are also moving. At this time, there is no problem in building shipyards in the Huai River. There is also a lot of woodland on both sides of the Huai River, especially in the Dabie Mountains and Qunshu area, which is extremely rich in timber resources.
One of the important resources that Britain paid tribute to Wu was "giant wood", which was an indispensable material for building giant buildings.
When the old monster was alive, there were only four kinds of "giant trees": ginkgo, metasequoia, camphor and zelkova.
Of these four types of trees, the only ones that are really useful are ginkgo and zelkova. However, when the old monster grandfather was still alive, Wu State had cut down almost all the large timber. Since the old monster's youth, he had used it to extort money from others.
Only for the Lord can you obtain the "giant tree".
"Giant wood" is an extremely important material at any time.
However, due to limited transportation conditions, many countries are unable to transport the "giant trees" even if they are willing to pay tribute. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries that has the ability and resources.
The shipyard being prepared in Huai Zhong City at this time is not on the north bank, but on the south bank. The reason is because Huainan has much more "giant wood" resources than Huaibei.
When the Xu State still existed, all decent forest lands in Huaibei had actually been invaded.
Large tracts of dense forest basically do not exist. If there are, they can only be a traditional hunting place for a certain big noble.
“Assemblers are trained so quickly?”
"They are all dominated by the 'Baiyu Clan', 'Baijia Clan', 'Zhi Clan' and 'Wu Clan', with six other people from Shu mixed in."
The crocodile man explained the origin of the assemblers, and it was immediately clear. It basically covered the important components of Li Jie's current lackeys.
Except for "Baisha", the places where the assemblers came from that the crocodile man mentioned were either the natal family of Li Jie's young wife or the hometown of Li Jie's right-hand man.
In other countries, carpentry may require slow work and careful work, but in Jiangyin-eup, this matter has to be discussed separately.
The main reason lies in the popularization of tools. A set of woodworking tools was originally an ancestral treasure of craftsmen from all over the world, but in Jiangyin, as long as they enter the wood factory, the craftsmen can handle it at will.
Even if apprentices join forces, they will have uniformly regulated woodworking tools, and there will never be any alternative standards.
As for the application of new tools such as planes, saws, drills, etc., it has a very significant effect on improving the production efficiency of traditional craftsmen.
It’s just that craftsmen in any country are technical reserve talents. The carpenters in Jiangyin City may not be as involved in the work as the top craftsmen in other countries, but one thing is that under the production process of Jiangyin City, they can display their talents.
greatest effect.
"Is the unicycle currently in trial production?"
"Not yet, Mr. Shang ordered us to produce farm tools first."
"Hmm...too."
Nodding, Li Jie flipped through the official letter while thinking about the progress of the Wei-Zheng War. If the war between Wei and Zheng turned into a pot of porridge and the transportation capacity could not keep up, this wheelbarrow would be able to sell well.
As for whether technology diffusion will have any bad consequences, there is no need to worry about it. The systems are different, and the final effects of process technology are also very different.
The most important thing in Huaizhong City now is the lack of food, and spring plowing is the top priority. Although Li Jie is not in Huaizhong City, the production of agricultural tools such as columbuses has not stopped.
In addition, the demand for plowshares, bridles, and shafts has always been high. Even if they wanted to contribute to the war between Wei and Zheng, they were unable to do so.
The production capacity is so large, Li Jie cannot just let unqualified slave workers enter the relatively delicate assembly process casually.
If illiterate people without training enter production operations that resemble an assembly line, it will only have the opposite effect and lower production efficiency.
Converting labor into labor is itself a long-term and high-input process.
No matter how poor you are, you can't afford education. It's not because Commissioner Li has heard so much nonsense that he has calluses in his ears.
But when he was still a foreman, he encountered all kinds of small workers who drove him crazy. Without exception, they were all almost illiterate guys.
Even coolies who simply sell their physical strength can understand at the most basic level what the foreman calls a "turtle butt". In short, they are at least literate and understand discipline. This alone is enough to surpass the level of two workers.
Three billion people.
During Foreman Li's period, Li Jie firmly believed that "reading can change your destiny", not because he responded to the country's call, but because it was really closely related to his profit as the foreman...
After traveling through time, this inertia will obviously not change easily, even if he chases a group of useless savages around alone.
Therefore, even if it seems to the outside world that the Baisha barbarians are just grabbing the captives and doing whatever they want, maybe using them as animal labor, in fact it is not the same thing at all.
When it comes to handicrafts and industrial production activities, Li Jie has always preferred to do more than waste.
The whip waving in your hand is the best way to eliminate illiteracy.
It always works, keep trying, it always works.
The reason why we can now leave the wood factory to Shang Wuji is because of more than two years of accumulation.
A small comparison can tell the difference.
My eldest uncle, Shang Wuji, is from the Yanling Yunyan family. However, in the past two years, Shang Wuji, a small branch of the Yunyan family, has produced a literate population that is more than ten times that of the entire Yanling Yunyan family.
This is still a situation where the price of paper is still high and has not really reduced the cost of teaching.
However, a small literacy rate can allow the same workshop to have a strong labor cost reduction function in the process of conveying the production intentions of the upper level downwards.
When only a few people at the top level of a workshop are literate, the process of conveying production intentions is almost word-of-mouth. If there is a spatial distance, then as long as one or two people pass by, the message may be completely different.
When the literacy rate increases, it is just a matter of writing a few characters on a piece of wood.
All that is needed is a diligent errand boy. Whether the dog is literate or not, it no longer matters.
This is true for workshop production, and the same is true for administrative offices.
Therefore, in the end, the Yinxiang Shang clan, a small branch of the Yunyan clan, in turn annexed the Yanling Yunyan clan, the main sect of the sect. It was not as incredible as the people of Gusu were surprised. It was essentially a matter of course.
In fact, the strength and foundation are not on the same level. It's just that others can't see through the fog, they can only see flowers in the fog.
At this time, the wood factory in Huaizhong City was put into trial operation, which made Commissioner Li make up his mind. After returning to Huaizhong City, he began to seize the time and deceive the students who came to seek scriptures to work as voluntary labor for him.
.
In addition to the lack of officials at the grassroots level, there is also a lack of suitable teachers in literacy classes.
Commissioner Li thought, he must first teach these unlucky people about simplified Chinese characters. It is not difficult to get started. It can be as fast as one month or as slow as half a year. Anyone who can master simplified Chinese characters within one month will be directly let them be teachers in the literacy class.
The reason is also very good. You said that you are a famous general who will lead troops to fight in the future. How come you can't even teach a literacy class? Do you think you are a waste? If you want to prove that you are not a waste, just teach a literacy class well. Look next door.
Literacy class, half of the people are already illiterate...
After a set of combination punches, Commissioner Li thought to himself, this group of students, how can they produce some results? After all, they are elites, not crappies.
But at this time, Commissioner Li began to think again. The business of fooling Shacha into Huai had to continue, and he had to advertise early.
Went to Xinzheng and wandered around. Many families came here just to stare at "Li Zi's Art of War" and "The Last Letter of King Wei". Commissioner Li planned to make a fuss about "The Last Letter of King Wei".
This "King Wei's Suicide Note", in addition to the method of training and marching, there is also the art of forging superior weapons. Look at the shield, which is big and round, and the iron spear, which is long and wide.
Then there happens to be the Wei-Zheng War. Isn’t this the best living advertisement?
Thinking of this, Commissioner Li's thoughts suddenly became obscene. His smile was not abnormal yet, but his soul was extremely abnormal.
It doesn't matter how many guardsmen Zheng Ren died, he just wants the whole world to know that with the "King Wei's Suicide Note", magical weapons are no longer a dream!
How could a true warrior not have an indestructible spear or an indestructible shield?
Of course, whoever wants to use the spear in "King Wei's Suicide Note" to poke the shield of "King Wei's Suicide Note", Commissioner Li doesn't mind using the mace in "King Wei's Suicide Note" to explain.
