Chapter 220 Industrialization
"Our treatment is comparable to that of a merchant ship, with ordinary sailors paying five times a month, and doctors working with wood and sails, ranging from ten to fifteen. The length varies from 20 to 25 times, and the deputy commander and captain of the ship range from 500 to 1,000 times on an annual basis. ”
Huang Laifu swallowed his saliva, feeling that the dawn was just around the corner.
He appointed a boatswain, which meant that he would earn at least twenty pounds a month, which was twice as much as his original income.
This is also an opportunity only for old sailors, opportunities are only for those who are prepared, if it is those young sailors in their early twenties who have just run the sea once or twice, the treatment here will not change much from the previous ones.
But that's not all.
Li Yi said in a deep voice: "We are a warship, not a merchant ship, so it is not enough to just pay salaries, we have calculated, each sailor is fifty times a year, each officer is one hundred times a year, each officer is two hundred times a year, and the captain and deputy captain are three hundred to five hundred times a year, which is called reserve retirement and pension." In the event of an accident, the money will be saved over the years, and the deceased will be left to the family, and the disabled will be paid to me in a lump sum, and at the same time, they can also be supported in our Nan'an Nursing Home...... When you have served for many years and are old, this money is a pension, and you will be provided for in old age! These are all regressions for everyone. Even if your deck group is not responsible for fighting, it is possible that there are really arrows falling, being disabled or even dying, this is our regression for everyone, welfare, once it is determined, draw a fingerprint and press it, we will each hold a copy, if Nan'an Tuanlian said it doesn't count, Nan'an Hou said it doesn't count, you can use this sign to go to the government to rely on it...... Don't be afraid of the protection of officials and officials, our Nananhou is not an existence that can cover the sky with one hand. ”
It was said loudly, and apparently more than once, and it was heard by many of those present.
Many sailors eyebrows fluttering, obviously quite excited, this is equivalent to getting a double salary, although people are dead or disabled to get, but the sea boat, the most worried is family or disability, Quanzhou port has a lot of called Huazi, most of them are disabled sailors, when running the ship can not save money, and so on with a disability or serious illness, and not die for a while, can only beg around the port, see people feel frustrated.
Nan'an is different here, for every sailor is prepared for regression, on the surface it seems that the salary is similar to the previous merchant ship, but this layer of protection, but it is real sincerity, which makes people feel happy.
Many sailors immediately said that they wanted to sign the charge, Huang Laifu is an old Jianghu, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The little one originally planned to take his parents to the Nan'an Nursing Home, I don't know if he has this qualification?" ”
"A sailor is not a soldier, it stands to reason that it will not work." Li Yi said with a smile: "But they are all people who do things for our Nan'an Hou, Junhou has taken this into account and has asked people to expand, if there is anything that is intentional, we will accept it, and it is a matter of adding a bowl of rice to the left and right, what is the big deal?" ”
In fact, it is not only about adding a bowl of rice, but also about building a house and preparing daily utensils, and some of the old and frail have to be taken care of.
But Xu Zi first considered that the sailors are overseas all the year round, and there are many bachelors, and what they are most worried about is that their families have no one to take care of them. There is no way to run a merchant ship, but to look at each other with tears in their eyes, if the regimental training water camp is also like this, how to make everyone return to their hearts, how to build a cohesive fleet?
Sailors, officers, lieutenants, captains, sailors, soldiers, this is a whole, whether it is a deck group or a ballista crew, they all have to live on the ship and fight for a goal.
If they are different from each other, they are different from each other, and they cannot be twisted into a rope, which is a hidden danger in peacetime, and it will be fatal in wartime.
The resettlement of sailors' families, pensions, and disability pension systems are no different from regimental training infantry soldiers, except that the income of water battalions and sailors is higher than that of infantry battalions.
But the infantry battalion can be rewarded by war, and try to close the gap between the two sides.
Cavalry, crossbowmen, archers, the income level of these technical arms can also be mentioned as much as possible, but the income of infantry and sailors cannot be equal, after all, in the face of the sea and waves, the day on the ship is to start working hard, and the military soldiers usually train and station on the shore are two concepts.
The people of Fujian Road also know the danger of running into the sea, and they will not be red or dissatisfied with the soldiers.
"So, I'll sign it." Huang Laifu is already willing in his heart, and his younger brother, who was originally untalented, can find such a good way, which also makes his heart surge, as if there is a golden avenue in front of him, and the door is open, just waiting for him to step in.
"If you are literate, you can also serve as a water camp instructor first." Li Yi watched Huang Laide sign and press the handprint, and finally reminded: "Every instructor has a salary to receive, you are the Fu No. 1 boatswain, and the salary of being an instructor is not low, during this time, Fu Yi will not go to sea, you can lead the team to actually practice on the ship, before that, teach new sailors, officers and soldiers of the water battalion all kinds of abilities on board, and also exercise your own ability to be a boatswain, and wait for a few months, the sailors and battalion soldiers on Fu Yi are distributed, and you will really take office." ”
"Yes, the villain must do a good job."
Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, the sailor in front of him originally had worries in his eyes, and his expression was quite melancholy, and he seemed to be the kind of old Jianghu who had walked a lot, seen a lot, and had doubts about anything.
But at this moment, his eyes lit up, his face was full of excitement, and he was obviously determined to make a career out of his life, and there was obviously a world of difference from the anxiety, hesitation and other negative emotions gathered when he first came.
Under the generous treatment, the Nan'an Water Battalion will obviously attract more old sailors to come, they may not all be high-ranking sailors such as boatswain and sail rope length, but the more these old sailors, the sooner the Nan'an Water Battalion can form combat power.
……
"Alright, it's going to turn." The hanging spinning machine in front of him finally started running, Fu Qian shouted with red light on his face, and the people around him were in an uproar.
In fact, the principle of the waterwheel textile machine was proposed by Xu Zi first, and it was designed and manufactured by Fu Qian.
Xu Zixian has been proposing this concept for more than half a year, and he has already put it forward at the beginning of his acquaintance with Fu Qian.
Fu Qian admired and admired Xu Zixian's idea, he was a miscellaneous scholar, well-read, and quite skilled in the operation and use of tools and instruments.
Especially in the past six months, the funds and time have gradually become abundant, Fu Qian has received all-round support, and his miscellaneous level has also improved day by day.
But the water-powered spinning machine and the loom were invented by the Englishman Arkwright in the early eighteenth century, under the premise that agriculture has developed greatly after its enclosure, cotton yarn and wool have become the mainstream of British exports, under the premise of developed agriculture and no worries about food, people are willing to create more wealth, under such a premise, in addition to the vigorous development of overseas colonization, the great development of foreign trade also makes people willing to create more products for sale.
In the early days of England, wool products were used, and after the eighteenth century, the cotton textile industry gradually caught up and became its flagship product.
Food and clothing are the most basic needs, so in at least 300 years, in addition to the production of steel, the number of spindles, and the output of textiles are also one of the criteria to measure the strength of industrial countries. When Japan opened its doors in the 19th century, its spindles quickly reached more than one million from scratch, and the British ceded a certain market to the Japanese, who earned their first pot of gold.
Many people think that Japan made a lot of money from the First Sino-Japanese War, but in fact, before the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan mainly relied on the development of the steelmaking industry and the spindle textile industry.
Otherwise, with Japan's small country and widows, how could it raise a fleet to compete with the Beiyang Naval Division and develop and train a new type of army?
Arkwright was a watchmaker, under the premise of the great development of the British textile industry, he invented the water-powered spinning and looms, each of which was about forty times more efficient than manual labor, which greatly improved the development of the textile industry.
Even that was not enough, and everyone was waiting for a more advanced power until the advent of the steam engine.
Funny to say, when the British launched the first opium and chip war, the biggest goal was not to sell opium and chips to the Chinese, and most of the profits of this special goods were taken away by opium and chip merchants, which did not help much for the industrial development and commercial trade of Britain.
What the British want most is their textiles, and what they want is for China to open up its trade ports and allow its manufactured products to enter the Chinese market, which is their biggest goal and goal.
This process took several decades, during which there were several wars, and the British also received a number of war reparations, but these were small amounts, and the real gains came from the opening of the market, and a large number of manufactured goods entered China, which was the best, fastest and largest way to obtain wealth.
It was not until the First World War that China's native national industry had a chance to breathe, because Britain, France and Germany were at war in Europe and needed the support of the Far East, including manpower, raw materials, and light industrial products.
At the same time, the control and control of the Chinese market have been relaxed, and in addition to the golden development period of China's national industry, which has won several years of golden development, the biggest beneficiary is Japan.
More Japanese goods entered China, seizing the markets left by the European powers, and the largest number of goods were textiles.
It can be said that Xu Zixian attaches great importance to the textile industry, which is the standard of industrialization!
The hydraulic spinning wheel in front of you is very large, more than one person high, the spindle is under the machine, the upper is the frame, one side is the roller in the water, the water flow drives the fan blades, and then drives the cantilple, pulls the spindle, and makes the spindle move at a uniform speed through the exquisite design, spinning out one by one.
"Coarse." Chen Zhengzhi looked at it for a while and said, "But isn't it very strong?" ”
Fu Qian said: "It is very strong, there is also the same loom, and the cloth woven with this yarn is also very strong, much stronger than the one we use on a single pedal machine, or even the hand-cranked." ”
Chen Zhengzhi said regretfully: "I'm afraid I can't sell it at a high price?" ”
Xu Zixian said with a smile: "Not only will this not sell at a high price, but it will also be lower than the selling price of the hand-crank, so as to highlight the advantages." ”
After the completion of the industrialization of the textile industry of the British, it was a low-price dumping that lasted for a hundred years, and after entering the Chinese market, the small-scale peasant economy was beaten to pieces, and it was not an opponent at all.
The production of homespun cloth is slow, the quality is uneven, many descendants always think that the soil is good, but do not want to think about it, those homespun cloth are woven by different people, the level is of course uneven, there are good and bad.
What's more, homespun cloth is not stronger and more durable than that woven by looms, and the price is higher because of labor costs.
In the impact of manufactured goods, the small-scale peasant economy is completely no rival, and can only sell feelings and make a little emotional money in the affluent modern society.
