From Chief to Ball

At the same time, the carpentry department also needs to count all the houses that free slaves need to live in, report to the planning and statistics department, and then the planning and statistics department will allocate them.The wheels produced by the carpentry department are transported to other cities by the transportation department.

In this way, it is meaningless for any sector to stand alone. Under the condition of insufficient development of productive forces, this kind of planned city can develop rapidly, and at least for ten years, there is no need to worry about market problems: Chen Jian solves them for them, and because Technology monopoly, as long as it is produced, it can be sold.As for the subsequent bureaucratic style, procrastination, lack of attention to product upgrades, etc., it is not the time to think about it-it is purely sick to think about what to do if you are not full of food.

The biggest problem now is empty air. There are almost no suitable candidates, and it is impossible to evacuate all of Xiacheng. We can only use old workshop workers who can count, literacy and business level as management.

No one is born with it, nothing more than learning it.

……

While Chen Jian was eagerly looking forward to the arrival of those from Xiacheng, those from Xiacheng were also eagerly looking forward to going to Yucheng.

On a boat in Dahe, Acorn, women and children were the first group of people to go to Yucheng, not for half a percent more corn, he no longer needed to worry about eating and drinking.

After Yuqian'er returned to Xiacheng, Acorn was the first group of people who voluntarily asked to go to Yucheng. One was that he wanted to support Chen Jian as a fellow clan; He will not violate Chen Jian; the third is that he wants to go there to see the pottery technology in the cities of Dahe.

In Xiacheng, the black pottery in Echeng has almost wiped out the pottery industry in Xiacheng. The corn shells that Xiacheng people hand out every year are enough to buy black pottery.

I thought I could show my talents in Yucheng, but I didn’t want to meet the messenger who returned when I arrived in Yucheng, and directly told Acorn the news that the pottery workshop was cancelled, the black pottery control was released, and even gave up. The lowest-end savage market is completely banned.

The first batch of people who came to Yucheng had lower qualifications than Acorn, and many of them were children who had studied in school for two years. The children were full of expectations and could not understand Acorn's melancholy at all.

It was already September when we arrived in Yucheng. We had just disembarked from the ship, and before the banquet started, many people saw Acorn storming into Chen Jian's room—now it was called the Department of Planning and Statistics.

The noise could be heard from far away, and some people even heard the sound of pottery being thrown, and they were sure that it was black pottery from Echeng or white pottery from Yueyi.Because Xiacheng's own pottery can't be thrown so brittlely, it doesn't sound so dull.

No one knew what happened inside, but when the straw curtain on the door was rolled up again, Acorn was no longer angry, arranged a place for the women and children, and quietly attended the banquet.

Not long after the banquet, all those related to Xiacheng's pottery industry, wood industry, newly graduated school students, smelting industry, etc. were called away by Chen Jian, and they were bored in a big room all afternoon. They were talking about something, and then in the evening, the group of people came to a small river in the southwest corner of Yucheng.

"From now on, you can only keep everything I said in your heart, and you are not allowed to spread it, and you are not allowed to talk to others. I will let Ji Bo count the names in a while, and if the secret is leaked, what I just said in the room You have also heard the discipline and know the consequences."

These people have been bored in the house for a long time just listening to Chen Jian talking about these things, and they also know that it concerns the entire city. If it really leaks, they will be escorted back to Xia City for public trial. You don’t need to guess what will happen to the property that affects the clansmen. as a result of.

Chen Jian pointed to the foundation of the iron smelting furnace that had been dug in the distance and said: "This place is very good, the ground is covered with clay, and water cannot seep in. I want to build an iron smelting furnace here, and you all know it. The reason why the pottery workshop was cancelled. This matter is done, black pottery and white pottery are incomparable."

"The day after tomorrow, I will go to inspect the mine. Acorn will manage the smelting department for the time being. The main thing is to repair the road and dig the canal. I will talk about the rest when I come back."

"Iron smelting is different from copper smelting. It requires more wind. The leather rods in Xiacheng are no longer enough. People from the carpentry department, you have seen bellows in Xiacheng. You need to prepare bellows these days, very large bellows , think of a way."

"The second thing is that the bellows are so big, it's not impossible to use oxen and horses, but it's too expensive, and there are not enough oxen and horses now, so we need to borrow the power of heaven and earth like the windmill of Xiacheng Mill. This time we borrowed water."

"Then the most important question arises! The bellows move one after the other. The water wheel, like the potter's wheel or the windmill, can only rotate."

"How can the force of rotation be turned into force of forward and backward movement? How can the water wheel push the bellows? It is pushing, not turning."

"This matter is not just a matter of the smelting department. If the force of rotation can be turned into front and rear, left and right; then the front and rear, left and right can also be turned into a force of rotation. For example, you can turn by stepping up and down with your feet. The spinning wheel? For example, the sledgehammer driven by the windmill can move up and down to smash the ore? For example, when forging iron in the future, we can use the wind and water to swing the sledgehammer that we cannot lift?"

Chen Jian took out a small waterwheel that had been made by the carpentry department and put it in the creek by the river. With the help of water, the waterwheel turned, and the outer sleeve rotated with the waterwheel.Next to it is a small leather stick that can only move back and forth.

It is so intuitive that everyone fell into contemplation: How can the rotating water wheel be turned into a force that moves forward and backward?

Chen Jian pointed to the small water driveway: "If you can't think of it, then you need twenty or thirty cows to pull it. Twenty or thirty cows need at least five people to raise each year, and these twenty or thirty cows are used in the cultivation department for a year. How much land can be reclaimed? And this is not a one-year event, it may take decades to operate, how much can you save?"

"Who would have thought that twenty cows, five slaves, and the whole family will be exempted from taxation for 30 years. This will be the rule in the future. Who would have thought of a good way to save something? The people and things saved, a year later What is saved is all yours, compiled into the textbook, and left in the name of the world. It doesn't matter here, anything will do."

"Think about it first, don't delay my assignment. I hope you will give me an answer when I come back. I'm going to be busy now, so you should think about it too."

A group of people who were still thinking hard were left behind, constantly gesturing with their hands back and forth and the power of rotation, racking their brains.Material temptation is tempting, but being able to leave a name forever and be written in a book is the real temptation.

Chapter 92 Survive

Any invention cannot be produced by relying on closed doors and imagination. Without a theoretical foundation, everything can only rely on labor practice and the foundation of predecessors as a support.

The reason why Chen Jian dares to let this group of people think is because this kind of basic support has actually appeared, and what is needed is a kind of integration of thinking.

There are many structures for turning the power of rotation into reciprocating up and down, or turning the power of reciprocating up and down into rotation.

But as far as today's technical level is concerned, the simplest and most practical is the planar link structure.Moreover, it is also used in some gadgets or toys in Xiacheng, not just imagined.

In his previous life, there was a very fundamentalist vocabulary of mechanical violence aesthetics, called multi-riveting steaming.

There are four words in total.Multiple turrets, rivet connection, steam power, rigid suspension.For this era, there are three words that are not close at all, but there is one word that has a foundation, and that is the rivet of rivets.

Rivets are the basis of the connecting rod structure. The rivets on the connecting rod are different from normal nails. The nails are used for fixing, but the rivets on the connecting rod are not only fixed, but also require the joints to be able to rotate and twist.

For example, Xiacheng is a kind of wooden windmill used for play or decoration. If the blades of the windmill want to rotate, it is impossible to fix it to the wooden stick with nails, and it will be dead.In order to rotate, the rivet connecting the stick and the blade must have a gap to allow the blade to rotate—in other words, this nail is double-ended, like a dumbbell, with two ends thick and thin in the middle, which can hold the blade so that it does not fall. The clearance allows the blade to rotate around the rivet.

There is also a teaching gadget in the school, a parallelogram and a triangle connected by rivets, to tell children that the triangle is very stable, and the parallelogram can be twisted, and can be twisted from a square to a weird rhomboid.If it is fixed with wooden wedges and mortise and tenon, it cannot be moved, so Chen Jian used simple copper rivets.This is a simple connecting rod.

Having enlightenment may not be thought of, thought of it may not be usable, and what is usable may not be practical. Chen Jian did not think that the clansmen are all geniuses, and only a few words of his own can open their minds.

But after thinking about it, even if you can't understand it, when you take out the real thing, you will at least suddenly see the light after thinking about it before.I will remember more deeply and have new discoveries because of my previous thinking. I will not be terrified and only praise.

The rewards he mentioned may not be available to anyone, but it is just a method he used to establish a tree. No one really thought of it in the future, and it is inevitable that he will need to play a play with others.

It is a higher-level pursuit to leave a name in history and keep the statue forever.

For those who stand by the waterwheel and ponder, there are those who have begun to pursue this higher level of self-actualization.At least a lot of people there are able to ensure their basic necessities.

Also on the island, the vast majority of another group of people on the island are still working hard for their own food, clothing, warmth and reproduction. They have not yet considered the material conditions of these issues.

At night, after work.

In an inconspicuous small hut, two free slaves were guarding the door. There were already fifteen or sixteen people gathered in the room. There was no fire, as if they had fallen asleep.

Although there was no flame and people's faces could not be seen, Ke Ze knew that these people were the most trustworthy group of people.

The struggle of the previous days failed.

It's not an open struggle, but secretly urging the escaped slaves in Onozawa to work slowly, otherwise the daily ration will increase.

When he thought he was still in Onozawa, he responded to everything.

Unexpectedly, even without Ji Xia's move, the woman's simple methods solved their struggle.

Some were informers, some obediently and secretly worked hard to make billets for the future as foremen, and some directly objected that it was not good for them to work less for themselves.

In the end, the group who listened to Ze benefited the least.Even though he knew that Ze was for the benefit of all of them, he still had full trust in Ze, but his will was depressed after all.

The most unexpected thing for Ze was that Chen Jian didn't seem to care about the fact that someone had informed him. He didn't reprimand him, lock him up, and let him starve to death without hiring him.

On the contrary, during a chance meeting during the daytime, he asked Ze with a smile: "Is it different from Ohnozawa? If you want to resist, you have to find another way. I am reasonable, and I didn't say no before." You are allowed to resist, and I did not mention the consequences of resistance, it will be different in the future. There will be rules in the future, and those who should be arrested should be killed."

Ze remembered that Chen Jian was smiling at that time, his face was full of mockery, as if he was laughing at the low-end of their methods, and he didn't care.

Although there was a smile on his face, Ze Ke didn't take Chen Jian's words as a joke at all. This man was merciless when he killed people.

After that day, Ze has been thinking about what to do in the future. Until today, the news came from the whole island: from now on, everyone will be divided into workshops, and each person will specialize in one thing. The workshop will be assigned tomorrow.
