Chapter 2408

For these Haihan nationals in Hainan Island, the war that took place in Shandong during the Ming Dynasty can basically only be understood through official public information published in newspapers. Therefore, the direction of private public opinion naturally follows the official lead and has a negative impact on the Ming Dynasty.

It is difficult to say anything positive about the performance of the ruling class in this war against the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the newspaper also mentioned that Haihan is currently trying its best to save tens of thousands of displaced war refugees in Shandong, and some of them will be transported to some overseas colonies in Haihan for resettlement. Anyone with a little knowledge can think of it.

, this kind of rescue measure arranged by the official will effectively alleviate the long-term demand for labor in overseas colonies, and these immigrants will also have the opportunity to join the Haihan Kingdom in the future.

Such relief measures are not unfamiliar to the people of Haihan. In the early years, a large number of the people Haihan gained from Annan and Daming were quite a few who came to settle in Haihan as war refugees. And these people

Population follow-up also played a very important role in the construction and development of Haihan. Many people have now become the backbone of all walks of life. There are even some people who have been appreciated by senior officials because of their outstanding abilities and have now become masters.

Civil and military officials at all levels with real power.

It is precisely because of this upward path that can break the class barrier that many people realize that as long as they have real skills, they have the opportunity to make a difference in Haihan.

It doesn’t matter even if you don’t have any skills when you come to Haihan. The vocational education system currently implemented in Haihan provides many opportunities for people to receive professional training. As long as you have a good brain and are willing to learn and work hard, you will have plenty of opportunities to learn from ordinary people.

Stand out from the group and become technical talents enjoying national salary.

Huang Zhichang from Zengcheng County, Guangdong and Yin Dezhi from Boluo County, Guangdong are such lucky people. These two people encountered misfortune when they were young. They lost all their family members in the Guangdong bandit rebellion in 1628. After surviving by chance, they were sent away by their fellow villagers.

They arrived at Lijiazhuang, Panyu County, which was accepting a large number of refugees at that time. Naturally, Lijiazhuang's actions in accepting refugees were to cover up Haihan, so they later moved to Hainan Island.

They were only eight years old when they arrived in Hainan Island. Since they no longer had any family members around them, they could only be resettled according to the program specially set up by the Executive Committee for orphans among war refugees. However, this did not mean that they would just be thrown into an orphanage.

, in fact, Haihan officials also provided educational opportunities for these children without family ties. Huang Zhichang and Yin Dezhi completed elementary school in Sanya, and were recommended to Sanya Junior High School with excellent results.

The experiences of these two people were widely reported by the propaganda department at the time as positive examples of the Haihan immigration policy, and even made the headlines of the Haihan Times. It was precisely because they were in the newspaper that they were criticized by a certain person.

The nobles noticed and began to receive funding. He successfully graduated from Sanya Junior High School in 1635 and was then assigned to work as an intern in a machinery factory in Tiandu Industrial Zone.

The two of them arrived at the factory early that day. Huang Zhichang was responsible for cleaning, packing tools and parts, while Yin Dezhi went to the small coal stove to light a fire and boil water for the master who would arrive later to make tea. Working in the machinery factory

In the past three years, as long as it was not a day off, they had always divided the work like this and had everything packed and ready before going to work.

But today they arrived earlier than usual because there was an important craft project that was going to be inspected and accepted today. It was said that some big shots from the executive committee would be coming by then, so they had to try their best to clean up the place. Of course.

, the area they are responsible for is only the small area where they usually do project research with their master, and they do not need to clean the entire production area in the factory.

"Master said that if this project can successfully pass the acceptance inspection, both of us can get a salary increase. How much do you think we can get this time?" After Huang Zhichang finished cleaning up, he chatted with Yin Dezhi.

Yin Dezhi put down the fire tongs holding the briquettes, patted the coal ash on his hands, and responded softly: "It depends on how much work you can do. If you can do all the work in the factory, you won't even get a tenfold salary."

There are so many!”

Huang Zhichang sneered and said, "I'm not that capable."

Yin Dezhi said: "We just have to obey orders and do things well. As for whether we have the ability or not, Master will naturally see it."

One of these two people has an active mind and the other has a calm temperament, but they are both talented people, so they were selected by their master as long-term training objects. When the two of them were washing their hands after finishing their work, they saw a carriage coming slowly.

Stopping slowly outside the factory gate, Huang Zhichang patted Yin Dezhi with his hand and said, "Master is here."

The guard on duty outside the factory gate stepped forward and saluted with a military salute, and then reached out to open the car door. What got out of the car was a fat middle-aged man in black clothes, holding a briefcase in one hand and a bag in the other.

Holding a metal toolbox.

"Good morning, Master!" Huang Zhichang and Yin Dezhi, who had already arrived at the door, greeted them and quickly stepped forward to take the briefcase and toolbox from the man's hand.

"Morning!" The man was obviously used to such scenes. He nodded slightly and handed the things in his hands to the two apprentices. He slowly walked towards the factory with his hands behind his back. When the workers in the factory saw him,

They also bowed and said hello: "Good morning, director!"

This middle-aged man is the master of Huang and Yin, and he is also the person in charge of this machinery factory. His name is Yu Feng, and he is naturally a time traveler. Before time travel, he ran a small machinery factory, and his business was

Ordinary. By chance, Yu Feng learned about the existence of the time travel plan. After personally traveling to Guangzhou several times to verify the authenticity of the plan, Yu Feng also started to think about it. At that time, he met some people.

Unable to resolve the big trouble, he could no longer continue to run his machinery factory, so he managed to convince his wife and took his three-year-old daughter to participate in the time-travel operation.

Of course, Yu Feng's family background is still richer than that of most time travellers. He packed up all the well-operated machinery and equipment in his small factory as capital for the investment operation, and this also earned him the opportunity to open a store after time travel.

The right to independently operate a machinery factory. However, in exchange, all production technology and production equipment here, and even the sales of products, are subject to strict official supervision, and production capacity must be prioritized to ensure the completion of official purchase orders.

The machinery and equipment can be packed, but it was not possible to pack all the workers and technicians in the factory and bring them over. So after this time and space, Yu Feng made personnel training the first priority for resuming production. But there was not much culture.

The time required to train basic people into industrial workers who can skillfully operate machinery and equipment is often measured in years, and the time and energy required to train technical backbones is even greater.

Yu Feng knows that the process of training talents is not easy, so he has put a lot of effort into selecting training candidates. In addition to hiring some craftsmen with certain skills, he will give priority to young people with smart minds so that they can be trained as much as possible.

Learn basic knowledge and operational skills in a short period of time.

A few years ago, Yu Feng saw reports in the newspaper about the official education provided to refugee teenagers, and he paid attention to Huang Zhichang and Yin Dezhi, two teenagers who were recommended to Sanya Junior High School. Although Sanya Junior High School was established for naturalized nationals,

It is an educational institution, but because the enrollment quota is limited, it is not an ordinary school that everyone can attend. The students admitted must either have a certain family background or have extraordinary talents.

However, among the people who came to Haihan as refugees, the basic education they received in the early stage was often imperfect, so there were not many people who could get into this school, let alone those who were exempted from the exam. As far as Yu Feng knew, with the help of

There may only be a dozen or so refugee students each year who are exempted from exams due to their academic performance. The two teenagers mentioned in the newspaper are only eleven or twelve years old. If they are really good candidates, they have to start early, otherwise it may be too late.

Within a few days, he became someone else's apprentice.

So Yu Feng secretly asked about the situation of these two children through his connections, and confirmed that they indeed had better learning ability than their peers. Then he immediately and quietly reported to the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Culture and Education, and applied for private rights.

Support the future study and life of these two children. Of course, this kind of support is not without asking for anything in return. Yu Feng also made it clear that he hopes to allow these two children to intern under him after graduating from junior high school. At that time, he will personally teach them various mechanical skills.

relevant knowledge.

Relevant departments will not object to such an arrangement. After all, after these students graduate from junior high school, the government will usually assign most of them to various production units to learn technology. Only a very small number of particularly outstanding people will have the opportunity to enter.

Continue education at a higher level institution. If someone like Yu Feng steps forward to claim some of these students in advance, it can save the official some trouble, and the employer's early intervention will also be beneficial to the talent pool.

nourish.

However, Yu Feng was not the only one who had this idea at that time, but he acted the fastest. While others were still hesitant, he had already finalized the arrangement with the relevant departments. Only when others went to find the Ministry of Culture and Education did they find out.

Yu Feng had already taken the lead.

As the chosen ones, Huang Zhichang and Yin Dezhi, of course, could only accept the arrangement, but this was not a bad thing for them. Yu Feng had to bear all the food and clothing expenses since junior high school, and they got it immediately after graduation.

A stable job that is enviable by others. Not only do they have an income that is enough to support themselves, but they also become apprentices directly under the time travellers. They learn the secret skills of Haihan that are kept secret from the outside world. From now on, they will become respected engineers after completing their studies.

, this is a life path that they could not even imagine when they were children.

Yu Feng entered his office and saw a pot of hot tea that had just been brewed on the table. He ordered Huang Zhichang to call in several foremen in the factory. He wanted to hear relevant production status reports and then give

They assign new production tasks.

Most of the machine-processing equipment that Yu Feng brought with him when he traveled through time has been sealed in the warehouse. These machine-processing equipment are all priceless treasures in this era, and maintenance is very difficult, so they were only used intermittently in the first few years.

It has been used to replicate the steam-powered version of lathes, washers, planers and other machine tools. Although its processing capabilities and accuracy are far inferior to the original equipment, it is easy to maintain and repair, simple to operate, and its use cost is also far behind.

It's lower than the precious equipment Yu Feng brought over.

The orders currently being produced by this machinery factory are mainly for Type 33 rifle barrels installed in the Haihan Army. This kind of rifled barrel has relatively high requirements for equipment and processing technology in terms of production technology, and requires technicians.

The rifling machine is operated to maintain a certain angle and the barrel is processed about a hundred times before four high-quality rifling lines can be carved into the barrel.

The drill bits and boring tools used to process the gun barrel are made of carbide that is very difficult to refine in this time and space. Its value is even comparable to gold, and it is not something he can make here. He needs to ask others.

The production department orders. Therefore, rifled barrels are high-value weapons with very limited production capacity, and their production costs are much higher than smooth-bore weapons.

Of course, production capacity is limited and supply exceeds demand, which means that relative profits are also higher. Just the annual gun barrel processing orders for the Ministry of National Defense are enough to maintain the operation of the machinery factory and support the hundreds of workers and technicians here.

While drinking tea, Yu Feng listened to the reports of the foremen and answered some technical problems they encountered. During this period, he asked Huang Zhichang and Yin Dezhi to stand beside him, although these two apprentices would not be directly involved in the processing and production of gun barrels.

Go, but listening more to the content of these work exchanges will also help them become familiar with the production processes of these military products. As for how much they can learn from it, it depends on their personal understanding.

Yu Feng is not a person who is easily satisfied with the status quo. Although official orders can guarantee the operation of the machinery factory, he still hopes to make more explorations in technology and copy as many technologies as he can.

In this era, although some technologies will face many difficulties in re-implementing them here, after years of hard exploration, more and more key technologies are now ready for breakthroughs.

The project that Yu Feng wants to conduct technical verification today is electric welding. He has been planning and preparing for this for several years and spent a lot of time collecting the various materials needed from all over Haihan. Just to find the manganese clay needed to make welding rods, he

So I took Huang and Yin to Guangxi for more than two months.

Haihan had used up the welding rods brought from the old time and space a few years ago, and the relevant research and development work was only carried out by Yu Feng. If Haihan wanted to restart welding technology in industrial production, he had to count on Yu Feng.

The welding rods produced by Feng overcame various technical difficulties and are now suitable for use.
