The number of craftsmen who had a stomachache during the New Year was indeed not small. However, compared to the huge number of craftsmen, it was somewhat insignificant. The research and development center would not be affected too much by the temporary absence of these people. In fact, there was almost no impact at all.
A large number of machine improvements had entered the fast lane, and the research and development of various new machines had also been put on the agenda. All the craftsmen and R&D personnel were busy, and none of them were lazy. This was because their income had a lot to do with their achievements. As long as they achieved a certain result, everyone who participated in the research and development would receive a considerable bonus, sometimes even more than a year's salary. This was too attractive for ordinary craftsmen. Therefore, all the R&D personnel would spare no effort to work hard in order to continue increasing their income.
In the later generations, there was a work system called 996. It meant that people worked six days a week, from nine o 'clock in the morning to nine o' clock in the evening. Sometimes, they even had to work overtime to complete the heavy work tasks given by the higher-ups.
This kind of fighting spirit was very touching from a certain point of view, but from another point of view, it was also quite cruel because this kind of struggle was a great test for a person's body. If the person's body was not good, the person's body would collapse after working for more than ten years. Those with good health would also suffer great damage.
Especially in the later generations, most of the people were quite weak scholars. These people's physical fitness was not good to begin with. After carrying out high-intensity work, it was easy for them to collapse. Under normal circumstances, these young people who had worked hard under the 996 system would become greasy uncles in advance and enter the ranks of middle-aged or even old people in advance. After such hard work, they might not be able to become rich. They might even end up old before becoming rich. In this world, there was nothing more despairing than becoming old before becoming rich.
Poverty was already unbearable. If one's body couldn't take it anymore, it would be even more miserable. Everyone who advocated hard work was teaching people how to destroy their own bodies. In this way, even if one succeeded, if one's body collapsed, then even if one could obtain the entire world, what was the point of it? People without a body were destined to be unable to enjoy anything. Everything they obtained would be in vain.
Even if they were exhausted and couldn't get the salary they expected, it would still be good if they could get the boss's approval. But the saddest thing was that the employees worked themselves to death and dedicated all their youth and energy to the boss. But the boss not only didn't feel grateful, but also made things difficult for the employees. They felt that the employees weren't attentive, were slacking, and even felt that the employees weren't loyal.
Working hard but not being recognized by the boss, and even being doubted and made things difficult for him. From time to time, the boss would threaten him with firing him. This was the most pitiful kind.
For example, during the period of the Three Kingdoms, Admiral Cai Pa of the Jingzhou Navy was someone who worked hard but was not appreciated by his boss. He was even deliberately made things difficult for his boss. In the end, he was beheaded because of a groundless crime. It could be said that he was extremely wronged.
It must be said that Cai Mao was very friendly to his new boss, Cao Cao. When Cao Cao arrived at Jingzhou, Cai Mao took the initiative to offer Jingzhou. He also led a hundred thousand Jingxiang Navy and thousands of warships to join Cao Cao's army. This pledge of allegiance was not small. In an instant, Cao Cao obtained the vast land of Jingzhou and a hundred thousand well-equipped navy.
For an ordinary boss, to be able to get a person like Cai Mao to join their side was simply a big gain. They should repay Cai Mao. But Cao Cao didn't think so. He was a very suspicious person. He had seen the dark side of society. Cao Cao didn't have absolute trust in anyone, let alone a person like Cai Mao who betrayed his master. Wanting Cao Cao to believe such a person was harder than ascending to the sky.
In order to verify Cai Mao's loyalty, whenever there was a dangerous battle, the pitiful Cai Mao was always placed at the front line. He acted as the vanguard. If the battle results were good, then it was natural. If the battle results were not good, then it meant that he didn't try his best. It meant that he wasn't loyal and would be scolded by Cao Cao.
The reason for losing the battle wasn't Cai Mao's fault. It was due to practical factors. Although Cao Cao's business ability was very strong, it was limited to land matters. He was a layman when it came to naval warfare. Therefore, no matter how Cai Mao explained, he didn't believe him.
Under the pressure, the pitiful Cai Mao didn't dare to explain the reason for his failure. This was because Cao Cao didn't want to hear about it. He could only propose a solution to the problem and do his best to do what Cao Cao asked him to do.
In order to train the hundred thousand Jingxiang Navy and Qingzhou Navy into elite soldiers, Cai Mao carried out high-intensity training day and night. He didn't even have much time to sleep. Every day, he was under great pressure to train.
Working so hard for Boss Cao, Cai Mao's heart could be said to be moved. However, Boss Cao was not moved. On the contrary, Boss Cao was even more suspicious of him. After inexplicably receiving a letter, Boss Cao beheaded Cai Mao, an excellent employee who worked for him day and night.
This stupid Cao Cao paid a great price for his stupid actions. However, Cai Mao, a good employee who worked hard for him, couldn't come back. Perhaps after his failure, Cao Cao began to regret how he treated Cai Mao. However, it was too late. Cai Mao couldn't come back. Without this strong and loyal employee, Cao Cao's new hundred thousand Jingxiang Navy became useless. Moreover, this huge team was led by Cai Mao. Their boss was killed by Cao Cao. How could they not be bitterly disappointed? How could they work for Cao Cao wholeheartedly? After losing their core leader, the hundred thousand Jingxiang Navy became a group of useless people. They were no match for the Dongwu Navy.
In other words, Cai Mao's hard work for Cao Cao didn't move Cao Cao at all. This was because he was a new employee. He wasn't Cao Cao's confidant. Cao Cao didn't treat him as a brother. Therefore, even if he worked hard for Cao Cao day and night, it would be futile. In fact, Cai Mao's hard work became a conspiracy in Cao Cao's eyes. Once he found something wrong, he would immediately kill Cai Mao.
In short, once he followed the wrong person or didn't get the boss's trust, it would be futile even if he worked hard for the boss. The boss would never appreciate it. He would even think that you were pretending to work hard. Maybe you were plotting something.
Ang Lee was naturally not Cao Cao. He treated his employees very well. Whether it was his own private employees or the talents in the R&D Center, Ang Lee treated them very politely. Moreover, he wouldn't force them to work hard. As long as they could complete the basic tasks, he wouldn't continue to squeeze them.
Of course, these people were also more conscious. They would decide how long they had to work in the end according to their actual physical condition. If they were really uncomfortable, they would ask for leave and rest. They would never work while sick. This was also what Ang Lee repeatedly warned the craftsmen. He asked the employees to work more, but if they weren't feeling well, they had to rest in time. They weren't allowed to work while sick.
As for the problem of slacking off, because the remuneration was based on the working time and results, as long as there was no major problem with the body, no one would deliberately slack off. No one would refuse to work with money.
After the holidays, it was inevitable that there would be holiday syndrome. Therefore, on the first day of work, many people weren't in the right state. This was inevitable. Ang Lee wouldn't blame the craftsmen. As long as they adapted for a period of time, these craftsmen would be fine.
"Assistant Minister Li, General Guo is here. He even brought his luggage. He should be here to say goodbye."
An attendant came to report.
Ang Lee frowned. Since he was going to work, Guo Ziyi naturally had to go back to Shuofang. At this moment, he must be here to say goodbye.
"Old Guo, you're leaving today?"
Ang Lee asked first.
Guo Ziyi nodded. "Yes! It's time to go. By the way, didn't Assistant Minister Li say that you're going to the north to take a look? Are you going or not? "
Ang Lee thought for a moment and said, "No hurry. At least go after the 15th. There are still a lot of things to deal with. Wait for me in Shuofang!"
Guo Ziyi nodded. "Okay, okay. By the way, I came all the way to the capital. It's not appropriate for me to go back empty-handed. Is there anything good you can give me?"
Ang Lee looked at Guo Ziyi in confusion and asked, "What do you like, General Guo? As long as I have the right to give it to you, I'll definitely give it to you."
Guo Ziyi seemed to be a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I came to see a two-wheeled car before the New Year. It's fast enough, much faster than a horse. I'll take it."
Old Guo was talking about the newly developed motorcycle. It was much faster than a horse, more than twice the speed of a horse. Of course, it would be cool to use it to chase after the Horse Gang. However, without a large scale, it would be useless. One or two people with a motorcycle wouldn't be a deterrent. But it was perfect for reconnaissance. Even if they were discovered by a large number of Horse Gang, they could easily escape. No horse could outrun a motorcycle.
"Old Guo! What do you want it for? It's just developed, and it's not very reliable. If it breaks down, we'll be in big trouble. Besides, a car can't solve any problem. "
Ang Lee didn't want to give it to him, so he said.
"I just want to try it and show it to the people in the north. Assistant Minister Li, just tell me, will you give it to me or not?"
Old Guo put on a rascal face again and said.
Since Old Guo insisted, Ang Lee couldn't refuse. If he really didn't give it to him, Old Guo would get angry again and say he was not loyal enough.
"I can give it to you, but it's precious. You must take good care of it. If it breaks, no one will fix it."
Ang Lee said.
Guo Ziyi was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Don't worry! I'll take good care of it. If it breaks down, I'll send it back here. How can it not be fixed? "
If it broke down, he would send it back here. What did he mean? Did he want Ang Lee to fix it? Even the high-end motorcycles in the future didn't have such good after-sales service!
"Fine! I'm afraid of you. What else do you need? Tell me all at once! "
Since Ang Lee wanted to be generous, he might as well be generous to the end. He might as well satisfy more of Guo Ziyi's requirements.
"Well, the latest cotton-padded armor is only 15 kilograms, and its protection is better than that of 25 kilograms of iron armor. Can you give me a set of it? Just one set is enough. And several new kinds of crossbows, one of each kind, so I can test them and see which one is really needed by the army. Besides, the solar barbecue stove is also good … "
Guo Ziyi didn't stand on ceremony and put forward a lot of requirements. He saw that everything was good in Ang Lee's place, so he wanted everything. As long as he wanted something, Ang Lee would be willing to give it to him.
"Old Guo! You're really not shy! You asked for so many things. Can you take them all? "
Ang Lee opened his mouth and said.
Guo Ziyi smiled and said, "There's a train? There are more than 20 carriages. I can take as many things as I want. "
"Fine! Come on, bring all the things General Guo needs to the train station. "
Ang Lee said helplessly. After that, he looked at Guo Ziyi and said lightly, "General Guo, is this okay?"
"Yes, it's okay! If I need anything in the future, I'll still come. After the 15th, I'll send people to the train station every day to wait for Assistant Minister Li. "
Guo Ziyi said happily.
"Well, it's settled. After the 15th, I'll find a way to go to Shuofang and see how difficult it is to deal with the Horse Gang there."
Ang Lee said.
"Haha! It's almost time. I'll take my leave. Assistant Minister Li is busy. "
Guo Ziyi received a lot of treasures and was in a good mood. Ang Lee was not sad. It was just some newly developed machines. It was not a big deal to give some to Guo Ziyi. It was the imperial court's money. There was nothing to feel sad about.
After seeing Guo Ziyi off, Ang Lee was about to rest for a while. Someone came to visit again. Moreover, the person was mysteriously carrying a box. He did not know what was inside.
"Assistant Minister Li, are you busy?"
Yu Chaoen ran over mysteriously. He looked a little excited, as if he was lucky in love. However, as a eunuch, it seemed impossible for him to be lucky in love. After all, eunuchs were not normal men. They did not have the ability to do that.
"Xiaoyu, what's in the box?"
Ang Lee asked curiously.
"Good stuff, good stuff! In the future, we servants will count on it. With it, we eunuchs can show off like normal men. "
Yu Chaoen saw that there was no one around and said quietly.
