After returning from the ordnance factory, Xiao Feifei's face looked very ugly. Her heart was still shocked by the powerful power of the artillery. Even sitting there, she seemed to still feel the earth shaking and the thunder rumbling from the sky.
Wu Dong had called her several times, but she didn't respond. At that moment, Wu Dong couldn't help but walked over, touched her head and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Feifei squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "It's nothing."
"Follow me in the future and you will see more incredible things. Now we only occupy Goryeo and can only integrate millions of Goryeo's manpower and material resources, so our development is still very limited. When the world is unified in the future, with the help of the whole world
The power of the economy and the development of science and technology will be countless times greater than what they are now. I have been thinking these past few days whether I can see the true industrial age in my lifetime." Wu Dong said with a smile.
He himself feels that it is a bit wishful thinking. There are only two factories in Liangshan now, and they are all military factories. It seems a bit crazy to imagine the industrial age now. If you want to enter the industrial age, you must first have more factories. Just like yesterday
As I thought at night, there must be at least a few decent "state-owned enterprises".
Xiao Feifei didn't hear clearly what Wu Dong was saying. She always recalled the shocking scene when the artillery was fired. She didn't come back to her senses until Wu Dong hugged her and kissed her gently on her red lips.
Come on, then your face will be filled with red glow.
In the next few days, Wu Dong continued to inspect the Academy of Sciences and the factory, this time to observe more details, such as the collection of product raw materials, transportation work, security work here, and the living standards of ordinary workers, etc.
On this day, Wu Dong called Ling Zhen into his room again to discuss the factory's management system.
"Work five hours a day, no more! Take a break every seven days!" Wu Dong said what he was thinking about these days. The first one was related to work and rest.
Ling Zhen was stunned, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "Grand Governor, you only work five hours a day, which is too little? Even farmers in the fields have to work from sunrise to sunset, and sometimes have to work at night.
Five hours is too little to do some household chores. Also, why do we need to take a break every seven days? This is too much rest! Even the officials of the imperial court only get one day off every ten days!"
Wu Dong said: "Only if you have a good rest, you will be more energetic the next day and have more energy to work! Five hours a day is already a lot in my opinion! It is not easy for the workers. Let them do nothing but
You can have more free time after work, and you can use this time to reunite with your family, hang out with friends, or use your free time to go to school and study.”
Ling Zhen was even more surprised at this time and said: "Grand Governor, they are all workers, most of them are illiterate, how can they get a job?"
Wu Dong said: "They are illiterate, so you can have people teach them how to read! From now on, in the land where I rule Liangshan, everyone needs to be literate, and everyone needs to read and learn! From now on, reading is not just for being an official.
It will also be beneficial for workers to increase their knowledge through reading, which will also be beneficial to their future work.”
In ancient China, unless they wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official, ordinary people rarely studied. Books were also considered luxuries in ancient times, and pens, inks, paper, inkstones, etc. were not cheap. In addition, in order to support their families, the ancients worked from dawn to dusk.
, and basically no learning
time. As for reading people, they do nothing except reading. They spend ten years in the cold window in order to be able to win the imperial examination and then become an official. Reading people belongs to the four body industrious and the five grains are not divided, and the remaining people are
Not knowing a single word is also a strange sight in ancient times.
Wu Dong now wants workers to be literate, which Ling Zhen thinks is an unimaginable thing.
"I will have books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, etc. sent to the factory. They don't have to pay for these!" Wu Dong said again.
"Thank you so much, Governor!" Ling Zhen said.
"Workers in the factory are divided into three levels: skilled workers, general workers, and apprentices. Workers at different levels are paid different wages and enjoy different benefits." Wu Dong added.
"This is natural." Ling Zhen nodded.
"Only distribution according to work, more work will get more, less work will get less, those who are capable will get more, and those who are incompetent will get less. This can better stimulate the enthusiasm of workers and allow workers to strive for the top. If apprentices do well, they will naturally be able to
Be promoted to an ordinary worker. If an ordinary worker does well, he will be promoted to a skilled worker. As for
Specific wages and benefits need to be formulated by you. I only give you one standard, that is, even for apprentices, the wage level cannot be lower than the income of ordinary farmers. Industry, this is an extremely important industry in Korea's future, so from now on
You can't treat workers poorly in the first place," Wu Dong said.
"Okay." Ling Zhen hurriedly wrote these down.
"Every factory must have a specialized raw material purchasing organization, as well as a specialized sales organization. Each factory must have a factory supervisor who is responsible for the overall affairs of the factory. Under the factory supervisor, there needs to be a deputy supervisor who is responsible for other specific matters.
Under the deputy supervisor, each workshop must have a specific person in charge. In short, everything must be managed in an orderly manner," Wu Dong said.
"What the Governor said is that it's just a sales organization. We don't seem to need it now?" Ling Zhen asked curiously.
"Of course there is no need for military factories now, but I want you to set up more factories." Wu Dong said.
"Ah? What kind of factory should we set up?" Ling Zhen asked hurriedly.
"Our current blast furnaces have extremely high iron-making output. You can try to make agricultural tools and build a farm tool factory to sell to farmers. I heard that some of the craftsmen are good at making bricks, and you can build a brick-making factory. Also
There are some who can make colored glaze. Although the craftsmanship is not perfect, they can find ways to perfect it and then set up factories. The government will provide you with funds and land, and can also help you recruit workers." Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, if we really want to build another factory, we will need a huge number of workers. Workers are a lowly profession, so I'm afraid ordinary people won't come," Ling Zhen said.
Workers are craftsmen. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Khitan, they are all extremely low-level professions, worse than ordinary farmers. Most craftsmen are passed down from generation to generation. As craftsmen, you have to engage in this profession. Only in Korea and Japan,
The status of craftsmen is slightly higher, but at most it is the same as that of farmers. To build a factory, each factory may require hundreds or even thousands of people. It is not easy to recruit such a large number of workers.
"As long as the pay is good, people will naturally come! Besides, under the rule of Liangshan, craftsmen are not a humble profession at all! I am launching a youth movement to promote equality for everyone. Although it may not have a big effect, it will definitely improve some aspects.
People's opinions. When the time comes, I will personally mobilize some people to come to the factory." Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, if we really want to build more factories, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage so many factories." Ling Zhen said with a bitter smile.
"You don't need to worry about this. I will send people to prepare and manage the factory." Wu Dong said.
He frowned, thought about it carefully, and felt that only Li Gang could be responsible for this work. Except for Li Gang, I am afraid that no one else has such ability. There are so many things involved in preparing to build a factory, and it is not something that ordinary people can do.
Okay. Just to get Li Gang back, he will definitely stop Wu Dong's youth movement, which Wu Dong cannot agree to.
"That's it, let him come back! At worst, he will talk to me every day and cause some trouble for me!" Wu Dong smiled bitterly in his heart.
******
He talked with Ling Zhen for a long time, and this afternoon he asked Ling Zhen to call Jin Hu, Su Yuan, Lu Jiu and others over to talk with these people. Jin Hu was interested in air and defined oxygen for future generations.
In order to be "angry", the carbon dioxide in future generations is defined as "dead air". Although these
The discovery is still very rough, but in Wu Dong's view it is already valuable. As for Su Yuan's suggestion that the earth may also be a star, this is even more extraordinary. Lu Jiu studies mathematics and basically understands the four arithmetic rules.
He invented some formulas, but this person is not simple either.
Except for Lu Jiu who looks younger, maybe only in his 20s, the other two look like they are over 40 years old, especially Jin Hu, who may be over 50 years old, and his hair is a bit gray.
"Grand Governor, I usually don't do my job. Instead of studying colored glaze, I study the 'qi' in the sky. Don't mind." Jin Hu said, feeling a little restless.
"It's nothing. Your invention is very interesting and I'm very interested. I hope you can continue to study 'qi' and make more discoveries." Wu Dong smiled.
"Grand Governor, are you telling the truth?" Jin Hu said in disbelief.
"Of course it is true! I always encourage new discoveries, new inventions or new ideas!" Wu Dong said.
When he looked at Su Yuan, Su Yuan was very frightened. He gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Grand Governor, the earth I said is the stars, which is treason and refutes what the sages said. But,
Great Governor, I always feel that I am right. Even if you want to criticize me today and even kill me, a rebellious person, I will still say that I am right!"
Wu Dong was stunned, then laughed and said: "Who said I was going to criticize you? Who said I was going to kill you? When studying science, there is no such thing as treason! Is what the sages said necessarily correct?
When Confucius was alive, what he did was to teach his disciples, travel to various countries, try to master the government of a country, and realize his own political ambitions. He never studied the stars when he was alive. How could he
Knowing that the earth we are on is not a star? Speaking of which, his research on stars is definitely not as good as yours, his research on 'qi' is definitely not as good as Jinhu, and his arithmetic is definitely not as good as Lu Jiu! So, don't stick to Confucian saints
Those remarks, in terms of academic research, we must doubt everything and deny everything. We cannot think that everything the sages said is correct, nor can we think that what the predecessors said is definitely correct!"
Wu Dong's words were truly treasonous. In people's minds at that time, Sage Kong was omnipotent and surpassed everyone in this era in every aspect. However, Wu Dong actually said that Sage Kong was inferior to others in some ways.
, the three of them were stunned when they heard it. After a while, Su Yuan clapped his hands and said
: "Grand Governor, what you said is so good! I don't understand why Saint Kong must be right? Why don't those readers allow us to say anything bad about Saint Kong? Or Grand Governor is right,
We cannot stick to the words of saints, we must doubt everything and deny everything!"
Jin Hu and Lu Jiu also looked with surprise. For these real "scientists", what they just said really touched their hearts. In the eyes of scientists, there are only facts. Real scientists are not
Only, not only the best, but only the real.
"After I meet Ling Zhen, I will ask him to write the words 'doubt everything and deny everything' on the wall of the Academy of Sciences. There must be a spirit of doubt in the Academy of Sciences! Of course, there cannot be unreasonable doubts. The basis of doubt is
Fact! For example, Su Yuan studies the stars all day long, and even relies on your own observations to believe that the earth is not flat, but round. Therefore, you conclude that the earth is also a star. Therefore, you doubt what the previous sages said. You can doubt yourself like this.
Yes. You said, right?"
The three people nodded one after another. At this moment, they all felt that what the Grand Governor said was really good. Originally, they thought that the Grand Governor was a warrior and it would be difficult for them to have a common language with them. But now they realized that they were wrong. Originally, they were frightened.
There is no fear now, only the excitement of meeting a close friend.
In fact, Wu Dong knew a lot about the things the three of them studied. Whether it was chemistry, physics, mathematics, or even some other basic subjects, he remembered some basic theoretical knowledge. Although it was basic, it was still more basic than
These three people knew much more. But Wu Dong did not tell these people what he knew. The reason was very simple. He did not want to encourage others or stifle the creativity of these three people.
In later generations, the Chinese nation had little creativity and only had a strong ability to copycats. From the time of liberation until before he time traveled, there were no real scientists in the Chinese nation. There were basically no Chinese Nobel Prize winners. It has to be said that this is
A huge regret. So now even though Goryeo has
When there is a technological explosion, Wu Dong will not artificially accelerate this technological explosion, but let it happen naturally, so that local Chinese scientists can truly be born and let them discover those basic theories through tireless research.
And implant the spirit of science into the blood of the Chinese nation.
He has good intentions. Although he doesn't know how effective this is, he has already done these things very carefully.
Late at night, Wu Dong wrote to Li Gang, asking Li Gang to return to Korea from Liaodong.
