With money, especially when there is too much, how to spend it is indeed a big problem, although most of the money in Happy Village is stored in the money village and is used by many other projects, but there is too much money on the books, which will inevitably cause some people to covet it, and even cause the emperor to be uneasy.

Therefore, these funds must be invested to promote the next round of economic development of Datang.

With the existing industrial technology level of the Tang Dynasty, it has almost reached a limit in ancient times, compared to the Song Dynasty, it is not worse at all, in fact, Sun Xiangfu does not have to do anything, just wait for a few years, and the level of all aspects of the Tang Dynasty will catch up with and surpass the Song Dynasty, however, catching up with the Song Dynasty is not Sun Xiangfu's ultimate goal.

Because the Song Dynasty still did not push human civilization forward to a large level, it was just a dynasty with an empty economy and a mess in other aspects.

"Brother Dali, in addition to allocating a small amount of money to let the village collective share dividends, I plan to do some big projects with the rest of the money."

"Big project? If you make a few more of them, won't the entire Datang money be made by us? ”

Sun Dali is a little scared when he hears the three words of the big project now, Sun Xiangfu told him in the village at the beginning, let everyone eat meat, put on clothes, and live in a good house, I didn't expect that in just a few years, this matter was done by him, and the money earned was enough for their children and grandchildren to enjoy several times their lives, do they want to earn more?

He didn't doubt that Sun Xiangfu could do it, but he felt that he should leave some way for others to live, and it was not good for them to earn all the money.

He didn't know that in fact, all the people made money in this first-class money-making plan of Happy Village, and this series of plans in Weinan only promoted the productivity of the whole country, and the money they earned was not the money in the hands of others, but the new money generated after the increase in productivity.

"Rest assured, this big project will not make a lot of money, and the investment cycle will be very long."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, his eyes were already looking at Ma Lin, Zhang Quan, Ma Sai and others, everyone knew that this was going to do technical research again.

Due to the limitation of raw materials, many things, Datang can not manufacture now, this is a piece of Sun Xiangfu's heart, the sooner you get those things, the sooner you can use those things, start doing research thousands of years in advance, and you will not lose to the Western powers in the future!

"I want the shipyard to develop a stronger sea vessel, keel, with a tough steel structure, the hull is wrapped with steel plates, so that it can be more resistant to the erosion of seawater and the wind and waves at sea, and then, using such a large ship, form a fleet, go to the farther continent, and get some things back."

"Steel structure keel, monolithic clad steel plate? So how heavy is this ship? Isn't it going to sink if it's too heavy? And no one can move! ”

Sun Dali, who didn't know how to do it, quickly raised his own questions, but some people who knew technology, such as Zhao Long and Ma Lin Zhang Quan, fell into deep thought.

The hull may not be too heavy and sink, in fact, the weight of the large solid wood used in the production of ships is not light, in the case of tens of thousands of stones, it may not sink, but, if the overall hull is too heavy, I am afraid that the problem of power will be difficult to solve, if it is not used to carry heavy objects, it can keep sailing, but this kind of ship that has lost its cargo capacity may not be of great use.

"My requirements for these ships going to the sea are mainly firm, 30,000 stone ships, only need to retain the load capacity of 3,000 stones, do you think, theoretically, can it be done?" Sun Xiangfu looked at the horse track, which was in charge of smelting research.

"There should be no problem, the smelter in Weinan can now smelt a large piece of steel plate, we only need to use molten iron to pour on the gap of the steel plate, and then cool it with ice water, and after a little polishing, these steel plates can be connected into a whole, and the steel that surpasses the wood in terms of toughness and hardness, we can smelt it out long ago, and we only need to make a good mold according to the size, and it can be manufactured, however, the overall weight of the hull, as well as the power, also need to be accurately calculated, if the head wants to use it to do a voyage, I suggest, It doesn't matter if the speed requirement is lowered, it is necessary to ensure that it has a load of more than 5,000 stones, because the supply of food, fuel, and water is particularly high when sailing in the open sea."

He only knew that after the discussion of the technicians of Sun Xiangfu and Marseille and other happy villages, the overall structure of such a ship was roughly completed, and its cost may reach more than 200,000 yuan, which is more than ten times that of the current wooden water steamer, because the price of steel and specially smelted steel is very expensive.

The design of the ship, not only the skin of the whole ship to be covered with steel plates that are not easy to be eroded by seawater, the key parts of the interior, but also all of the alloy materials with high toughness, and even some places that may be worn, but also need spare parts, its internal space and draft, will be much larger than the current water steamer, but the sailing speed, but slower, the hull will also have a very tight waterproof design, and drainage design, as long as the doors are closed, unless there is a big storm, he will roll the entire capsized, In the sea area that is not very peaceful, no matter how high the waves are, they may not be able to have much impact on it.

And such an expensive big ship, Sun Xiangfu has to make fifty ships in one go, even if the shipyard and smelter are their own industry, and only need to pay for labor and material costs to manufacture, but these ships will need to be built about 10 million yuan, and even if Weinan is now very strong in all aspects, it will take at least two years to make these ships.

"Zhao Long, your new task is coming, I need you to recruit 10,000 sailors and boatmen without affecting the existing water transportation system, sailing training, first, training with water ships, after the first steel structure keel ship comes out, you must test the performance of the ship as soon as possible, so as to facilitate improvement, in about two years, these people must be able to go to sea, implement a two-to-three-year round-trip plan."

Two years of training, three years of round trip, that is to say, Sun Xiangfu's investment of tens of millions of yuan will not be able to see a return at least five years later, but if they think that the investment Sun Xiangfu said is only this one, it would be very wrong.

What is the purpose of sailing, to get new species? What is needed to improve the scientific and technological level of Datang? Science and technology talents.

Without enough talents, Datang's scientific and technological level cannot be improved, so he not only has to donate money to the imperial court to establish a law school in Shanyang, but also to establish a technical research institute in Xinfeng County, comprehensively expand the original research system of Xingfu Village, and recruit wizards from all over the country to participate in the research of technical problems.

In this regard, he does not want the children of the peasant family to continue to work behind closed doors, sometimes, an ordinary person's idea of a whim, may change the world, later, the technology research institute, will be the name of the various industries, a higher level of technical research, all the problems encountered are difficult to solve, will be all listed, for the people of the whole country to offer a reward, as long as someone can solve this problem, you can get a high bonus, but also can be recruited by the technology research institute, get a high salary, use the resources of the technology research institute, Continue to do technical research.

These two investments are long-term, the specific cost, can not be calculated, and the possible benefits can not be calculated, but it is very necessary to do.

In addition, in order to ensure the vital interests of the workers in the major factories, Sun Xiangfu asked all industries in the Happy Village to introduce a new welfare system for its workers.

The first system is the medical security system, all employees, as long as there is an injury or illness, can rely on the medical expenses issued by the hospital to reimburse eighty percent of the medical expenses in the factory, and, after three years of work, suddenly seriously ill, after treatment, or completely unable to work, can continue to enjoy half of the salary and medical expenses reimbursement eighty percent of the treatment, until the expiration of the labor contract.

The second system is the retirement system, all workers who have worked in the factory under the name of Xingfu Village for more than five years, after reaching the age of 40, they can receive a certain amount of pension every month until death, the longer the working hours, the more pension, and those who retire early due to illness, as long as they work for enough years, can also enjoy such treatment.

Those who are over 40 years old and physically able to continue working can continue to work, but in addition to receiving the salary of their work, they can also get a part of the pension, and when they reach the age of 50, they must retire, and if they work hard, they must retire when they reach the age of 45.

Don't think that you don't have much money to get when you retire at the age of 40, if you work for more than 15 years, his pension may even be about the same as when you were on the job, of course, with the average number of years of service in this period, from the age of 16 to enter the factory, at most 24 years of service, this kind of full service, retirement salary will be even higher than when you were on the job.

Now most of the workers in Weinan only entered the factory in their twenties, so at most, they only have more than ten years of service, and it is impossible to get a higher pension than when they were on the job, but the pension system, in the past, was only a benefit that only officials of the imperial court had with grades, and now, they can also enjoy it, and they will suddenly feel that working in the factory is as good as being an official in the imperial court.

However, Sun Xiangfu has already considered some problems in advance, the factories under the name of Xingfu Village have hundreds of thousands of laborers, and when they are old in the future, the factory will have to support them for nothing, so the pressure may be great.

Therefore, the regulations also make it clear that the retirement age may be adjusted due to the actual situation, and the pension will be set aside in advance in the company's profits, which is about 10% of the total profit.

As long as the factory makes a profit every year, the money will continue to accumulate, and when the factory loses money and goes out of business, the money will be distributed until it runs out.

In fact, with the current momentum of the major factories, no one has to worry about it not making money, and when retirees appear in the major factories, this money is estimated to have accumulated to a very large amount, which will not be used up for decades, and within a few generations, everyone actually does not have to worry.

These two systems will undoubtedly make the major factories of Happy Village spend a lot of money in vain, but it will play a very big role, first of all, to enhance the loyalty of factory workers to the factory, when a cause, is a cause that can support it to death, everyone will do their part to protect it, and this is also a disguised let workers enjoy some of the benefits of corporate profits, because, the more money they make, the better the retirement treatment they finally enjoy.

In fact, the introduction of these two systems also has considerable political significance, which will make Datang's entire industrial system more stable, and will also force all other factories to follow up, because, if you don't follow up, everyone will sharpen their heads and drill into the factories under the name of Happy Village, and other factories may face a labor crisis, and in the best case, they can only use the factories under the name of Happy Village to pick up the remaining talents.
