Chen Xu left, but the bearing factory was jubilant.

Countless people surrounded Qu Da'an and Mao Dan to congratulate, of course, there were more envy, jealousy and hatred.

In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck.

Ordinary craftsmen and apprentices, who were still inconspicuous yesterday, have become the leaders of the bearing factory in the blink of an eye today.

Supervisor, a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan, 50 stone of corn, is 600 stone a year, and the treatment is equivalent to the county order of six grades, which makes many officials of seven, eight or nine grades envious.

The steward also has a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan, and it is 300 stone corn a year, which is about the same as the treatment of officials in Jiupin.

Chen Xu said very clearly that as long as it is an improvement and innovation invention, it will be greatly rewarded, and there are two people in front of him as a physical reference, so it completely ignites the innovation enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the entire factory.

And this news soon spread to the entire academy system, and countless apprentice craftsmen became excited, rubbing their fists and palms one by one, and vowed to invent something that would be useful to Hou Ye.

Therefore, for the next whole month, the people from the Academy of Sciences and the factory would go to Qinghe Courtyard every once in a while to find Chen Xu, such as what they had improved and invented, anyway, whether these things were useful or not, they wanted Chen Xu to see, what if they were particularly taken by Hou Ye?

Therefore, Chen Xu also went to the factory and the comprehensive laboratory twice in three days.

Most of these things are useless, but the enthusiasm of the craftsmen and apprentices Chen Xu has not been dampened, as long as they feel that they are somewhat useful or can be popularized and practical after continuous improvement, they will more or less reward some money or verbal praise to increase the enthusiasm for innovation.

And after being busy for a while, he couldn't stand it, when is this the end, March is past the summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, he is slowly lazy to go out, this kind of costly and thankless thing is not what he should do as a double marquis, and because of this, he neglected the two wives and a concubine in the family.

So he found Zhao Qing and asked him to set up a major invention and innovation review committee in the Academy of Sciences, led by Vice President Zhang Cang and Vice Dean Hu Kuan of the School of Engineering, with a total of seven masters in various departments, and also set up a full 500,000 yuan of invention and innovation award fund, which will set up five levels of invention and innovation according to the creation of inventions, innovative inventions, improvements, etc., according to the practicability evaluation level, the lowest is 1,000 yuan, and the highest is 10,000 yuan.

The first prize of 10,000 yuan is naturally a completely creative invention, such as the bicycle that Chen Xu said, such as the development of cement and other new inventions with great practical value, can be classified into this category, but this award is bound to be very difficult to get.

The second prize of 7,000 yuan is a major innovation based on real equipment, and it requires functional improvements beyond nature, such as changing the fire gun into a rifled gun.

The third prize is 5,000 yuan, which is a major innovation and improvement, and the practicability, stability, safety, etc. have been qualitatively improved, such as the innovation of two kinds of bearings, although it is not a creation and invention, but this innovation is enough to enhance the bearing to reach a more extensive practical stage.

The fourth prize is 3,000 yuan, which is a more valuable innovation and improvement, which can significantly improve and improve work efficiency, such as new iron-making furnaces, such as new stamping equipment, etc.

The fifth prize is 1,000 yuan, which belongs to the innovation and improvement has a relatively large practical value, which may be improved very little, but it can make the equipment have a significant increase in efficiency, such as the improved hand saw, this reward is mainly for practical value, not innovation value.

These five levels of invention and innovation can be named after the surname of the inventor and innovator, and then registered in the Academy of Sciences, and the name of the inventor will be known to the people of the world with the promotion of the future, becoming the supreme glory of future generations.

As for other smaller innovations and inventions, they can only be simply registered with the Ministry of Industry, and appropriate rewards are given in accordance with the Ministry of Industry's law for the improvement of ordinary tools.

Looking at the invention and innovation review and reward method proposed by Chen Xu, Zhang Cang, Hu Kuan and a group of master craftsmen of the review committee expressed serious support, but Zhao Qing did not speak with a bitter face.

"Director Zhao, don't you agree with Ben Hou's plan?" Chen Xu looked at Zhao Qing and asked suspiciously.

"It's not that Qing doesn't approve of Hou Ye's plan, but ...... But where did the reward money come from? Zhao Qing hurriedly shook his head and explained.

"Yes, Master Hou, your rewards will definitely stimulate the innovation enthusiasm of craftsmen and craftsmen, but you must have a sum of money first, 500,000 is not a small amount, and the Academy of Sciences can't come up with such a large amount of money at the moment!" As the vice president, Zhang Cang also came to his senses and nodded again and again.

The Academy of Sciences is a special government, known as the Royal Academy of Sciences, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and the Shaofu Ling Zhao Wei will definitely not care, but the emperor's plenipotentiary Zhao Qing has been in charge, and the real boss is Chen Xu himself.

Now the Academy of Sciences has swelled to a terrifying level, from a small courtyard of more than 100 craftsmen and craftsmen, now in more than a year to expand to cement factories, ironworks, waterwheel mills, blacksmith workshops, bearing factories, glass factories, comprehensive laboratories and other seven or eight units, the number of craftsmen and craftsmen has exceeded 500, more than 3,000 apprentices, nearly 10,000 prisoners and slaves, and more than 100,000 stone of grain every year, which is only food and salaries, if you add the daily consumption of copper, iron ore and coal, etc., This cost should be at least a million dollars.

The expenses are large but the income is low, and basically the research is the main task, especially the ironworks, blacksmith workshops and comprehensive laboratories, which are in full swing every day, but in fact, there is only consumption and no output, and only glass factories and bearing factories can really make products and sell them for money.

However, the glass factories were still unable to make ends meet, and the ore and coal used to make the glass were transported from other places for thousands of miles, and the finished goods were not produced at a high rate and the sales were limited.

Bearing factory is similar, manufacturing a pair of qualified bearings to reach the practical stage of the bearing takes a few days, the previous yield is very low, mainly easy to break, after the current improvement, both kinds of bearings have begun to produce, a pair of bearings sold to the carriage factory for one hundred to two hundred dollars, but the output can not keep up, and to feed the bearing factory more than 100 people, now can only maintain the usual expenses.

The expenses are greater than the income, and the Academy of Sciences is now a basket for spending money, and the emperor has been constantly putting money into it.

If it weren't for the Academy of Sciences' research on steel and new horse equipment, and the study of cement, a sharp tool for building bridges and roads, it is estimated that the emperor would have abolished this broken academy long ago.

Therefore, lack of money is the biggest problem at the moment.

If it's only 50,000 yuan, Zhao Qing will find Zhao Wei, the Shaofu Order, and naturally he can still solve it, after all, the emperor's small treasury is still very sufficient, and every time he rewards the minister, it is tens of thousands or even 100,000 200,000 rewards, but if he says 500,000, it is estimated that Zhao Wei's head will be shaken off, especially this kind of thing that has no reason to reward the craftsman.

Craftsmen engage in invention and creation, and the Ministry of Industry has a law, that is, to promote the level of craftsmen or even to craftsmen, and to reward land and real estate, it is impossible to reward money, especially tens of thousands of rewards.

But for Chen Xu, all the questions about money are not too big a problem at the moment.

"Don't worry, it's only 500,000, I'll solve the money!" Chen Xu picked up the teacup to moisten his throat, and his throat was about to smoke when he had just spoken at length.

"Master Hou, this is 500,000 yuan, not 50,000 yuan?" Hu Kuan couldn't help but remind.

"I know, I'll go to Huaxia Qianzhuang to solve this matter!" Chen Xu put down the teacup and stood up and said.

As soon as Chen Xu mentioned Huaxia Qianzhuang, everyone's hearts were relaxed.

If the entire Daqin says where the money is the most, it is definitely not the palace Shaofu, nor the household treasury, but Huaxia Qianzhuang, now the deposit is hundreds of millions, Hou Ye is the major shareholder of Qianzhuang, just leak a little bit out of the fingers, don't say 500,000, 5 million is also possible!

Now that Hou Ye has solved the matter of money, it is natural that this innovation award review committee can be formally formed.

The jury has no salary, just a name, and the innovative inventions submitted by craftsmen and craftsmen and even apprentices are reviewed once a month, and if the review recognizes the level of invention and innovation awards, Chen Xu will also participate in the review, and those who pass will be rewarded and published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily, and the reputation will spread throughout the Daqin world in an instant.

This is not only a material reward, but also a spiritual reward, but also represents a supreme glory, which has been passed down through the ages.

And fame is worth far more than money and status in this era.

Many celebrities and gentlemen of the hundreds of schools of thought are not rich and noble, but they are widely respected by the people, and even the emperor has to put down his body and salute respectfully and call Mr.

Although the status of the craftsman is not high, with such a fanfare and commendation from the Marquis of Qinghe, he will inevitably be admired by all the people, and it is worth bragging about the cowhide for several lifetimes. (https:)
