The fragrance of the bone broth mixed with the fragrance of the chili oil filled the tip of people's noses. It did indeed smell appetizing, even if the weather outside was very hot.
The retired and reemployed officials lowered their heads and ate meat. What they liked the most was to provide a large number of jobs for the people.
What they were most afraid of was to ask them to find a way to provide jobs. That was simply a disaster.
"New things are good, but when they come out, they have to impact the industrial structure. They clearly have the ability to transform production technology into productivity, but they have to take care of agricultural jobs. Alas!"
Su Yi said something he would never have said a few years ago. He had read too many books and was throwing out new terms as if they were free.
Song Jing said, "The development and application of new technology is the foundation of the economic development of the Tang dynasty.
When new things can improve production efficiency, they can only start from the industrial structure adjustment. "
"Liberating labor does not mean eliminating labor. The first industry should never confine labor.
Right now, we need to vigorously promote the second industry, mainly labor-intensive industries.
The service industry in the third industry is not in a hurry for the time being. The financial industry needs to be more cautious. "
Bi Goo followed the words and explained his point of view.
Zhang Jiuling looked at them one by one and said to Li Yi, "Hard and soft, first make them. We'll talk about where to use them later."
He did not want to talk nonsense. In the end, Li Yi still had to solve the problem.
He had never studied before. How could an official find jobs for the people?
The people who met the requirements would be given land, and the people would farm.
The merchants did not care about the business, but they had to arrange the interest of the public money to the merchants.
Carpenters, blacksmiths, and so on, didn't they have their own things to do?
There was a record in "Yanzi" that Yanzi had to relieve the people because of the Battle of Lu Mo.
However, there was no Changping Warehouse. They also had to spend money to repair the office and find the people to work for them.
Under normal circumstances, which official would ask: How many unemployed people in this county are waiting for this official to find jobs for them?
When he was still the left shiyi in Chang 'an, Li Yi had just come into contact with the Emperor and began to find jobs for the people.
The people in other places clearly had nothing to do with him, but he was not warm-hearted. It was as if he could not live if he did not help the people find jobs.
Now, he and the others had learned how to read, but it was even more difficult to arrange jobs for the government.
"The craftsmen who can participate in the production are all working on the locomotive, so we can't spare any manpower. When the two locomotives are finished, tell them to build a small steam engine. "
Li Yi expressed that he did not have enough technicians to support the project.
There were craftsmen in the Workers' Alliance. The Li Family Zhuangzi had already subcontracted the workpieces that didn't need to be kept secret.
For example, the butt of a gun, the barrel of a gun, the parts of a propeller ship other than the bearings, the reverse mold of a propeller …
"Doctor Li, I have a craftsman with me."
Princess Jincheng wanted to help. She brought back the dowry, and the craftsmen were quite skilled.
"No!" "Yes!" Bi Goo and the others, as well as Li Yi, spoke at the same time. The ministers refused, but Li Yi agreed.
"Xiao Yi!" Bi Goo shouted.
"For work that doesn't involve skills, the apprentices will help with polishing, forging, and casting the parts.
The apprentices were replaced by Princess Jincheng's men, and the apprentices began to build a small steam engine.
The apprentices can understand the blueprints and the operating principle of the steam engine. They have experience in participating and observing. "
Li Yi explained that the apprentices were working for the master in other places. Whether or not they could learn the skills depended on the master's opinion.
The Li Family Zhuangzi's apprentices were all masters in other places.
The ministers were silent and continued to eat the hotpot.
Princess Jincheng was happy. She got up and arranged for the workers. She passed the message to her craftsmen and told them to prepare in advance. No drinking was allowed today.
…
The news spread to the group of craftsmen who lived in Li Family Zhuangzi. The craftsmen wished they could participate now.
They were allowed to go out in the next few days. The palace maids, eunuchs, and other people went out together. Those who had children were holding and holding them.
They wanted to take a good look at this Chang 'an that they hadn't seen for eight years. They wanted to tell their children that this was their home.
They took the money given by Li Family Zhuangzi and went out. When they came back, they still had the same money.
They didn't need to spend money to take public transportation. They also didn't need to spend money to buy food in the south of the city.
If they liked jewelry or rouge, their own craftsmen could make jewelry. The best rouge was now provided by Li Family Zhuangzi.
They went out for a walk. The weather was hot, but they drank a lot of free soup and mung bean water.
They used the rest of the time to study. When they went back tomorrow, they would take the opportunity to learn more skills.
The craftsmen each had a set of standard tools. There were rulers, curved rulers, calipers, tape measures, and many other rulers. There were also many types of saws.
Other tools that they had never seen before were packed into a big box that weighed more than 100 pounds.
When they had time, they would open the box. After being happy, they would worry about how to carry it with them.
Even though the box had two wheels and could be pulled and carried, they still felt it was troublesome.
What if they threw it away? What a joke! This was their lifeblood!
After taking something, they always wanted to help. They also knew their own situation and couldn't touch secrets.
Now that they heard the princess say that they could participate in some simple work tomorrow, they were so excited that they didn't want to eat.
…
Li Yi wasn't as excited. He finished eating first and went back to his courtyard to draw a blueprint for a small steam engine.
He would make this first and throw it to the apprentices to play with tomorrow.
There was no hurry. He could make it by the end of the year. But he thought that the apprentices would be able to make it soon.
They had experience in making large steam engines. They had the blueprint for a small one and knew the principles behind it. There were no technical obstacles.
As for the diesel engine, Li Yi was prepared to copy it.
He would copy a single-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine with four strokes. The lower the requirements, the better. The horsepower was acceptable, but the fuel consumption and combustion were not sufficient.
The main focus was on practicality. It was easy to manufacture, maintain, and repair. As long as they could make one, they would have the experience and could make more.
Li Yi thought about it. He knew some principles, but he couldn't figure out the purpose of every part of the diesel engine.
After he drew it, he would discuss with the craftsmen if they could make it.
He would update it in the future. Anyway, there were ready-made blueprints.
The first tractor had to be a hand-operated one. The brakes were on the handlebars.
Initially, it would be the production team's tractor. If anyone had one in the future, it would be amazing.
He planned to draw the blueprints one by one, taking notes as he drew. An engine was actually a book.
To make it easier to repair in the future, Feng Yu wanted to know what was wrong with the engine. He would know what was wrong with it.
At that time, the first batch of people to repair the machines were either the skilled workers in the factory or the technicians in the research institute.
There were also people from the machinery procurement department. The procurement department would purchase a lot of equipment and would need to repair it. They would purchase the spare parts while doing the procurement.
When the equipment was broken, they would replace it with their own spare parts and make money.
These were all state-owned enterprises, and the procurement department had a lot of authority. Others had to bribe them. If not, why would they buy your products?
This way, they would have enough funds to start the business! If they didn't have enough funds to start the business, the skilled workers would help others repair the machines and learn from them.
The department head of the procurement department had to know the technology. They had to learn and understand the situation during the procurement.
"That's why the state-owned enterprises are the most corrupt. No matter how well they do, they still get the same salary. Why don't they earn it for themselves?"
A few hours later, Li Yi finished drawing the blueprint for the steam engine. He looked at the blueprint for the diesel engine and mumbled.
