Chapter 161: The Stone Arrives
Su Baiyi didn't ask about the specific location of the temporary dormitory, and left it to Chu Lun and a dozen students under him to be responsible.
Because temporary construction is temporary construction, it will be demolished sooner or later, and it is currently only for workers to take a temporary rest.
But there is another thing that must be done in a hurry.
Su Baiyi selected eight old carpenters from the refugees, and also brought seven or eight clever apprentices to form a group of fifteen or sixteen people, led by Su Baiyi's student Deng Long.
The name of this group is called the Instrument Group!
As the name suggests, it is a group that manufactures various instruments.
Deng Long was originally a member of the glass firing team, and last time he went to Fengyang with Su Baiyi on a business trip, Su Baiyi admired his old Cheng and respect, so he was promoted to be the team leader of the instrument group this time.
Su Baiyi's preparation to build the instrument group into an industrial machinery group in the future is of great importance. It is necessary not only to master the latest scientific and technological knowledge and technology of this era, but also to control the production and design of basic equipment of the entire industrial system.
Not to mention the heavy responsibility, it is also necessary to do a good job of first-class confidentiality work.
Deng Long doesn't talk much, and he is old and serious, so it is most suitable to take this position.
"Close the door!" After all the people in the equipment team entered the headquarters, Su Baiyi asked Deng Long to close the door of the headquarters, and then let more than a dozen apprehensive people sit down.
"What's your name?"
Su Baiyi asked the thin old carpenter from Shaanxi.
"Back to Mr. Su's words, the villain is called Jiao Da!" The carpenter was very respectful to Su Baiyi, meticulous and cautious when answering questions, and stood up.
"Okay, Jiaoda, what about you?"
Su Baiyi asked their names one by one, and then said solemnly: "From today onwards, our Yuyuan will set up an equipment team, and this team will be kept secret from the outside world for the time being, and it can't be told even if it is other teams in Yuyuan." In addition, after you go back, neither your relatives nor friends can reveal it. You know what? ”
"Yes!"
Everyone was slightly shocked, and Deng Long's face became a little more solemn, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders was not light.
"Okay, all stand up, read the confidentiality declaration with me, let's make a collective oath!"
Su Baiyi was the first to stand up, and then everyone stood up.
"If I say something, you will say it to me." Su Baiyi took a breath, looked extremely serious, and raised the fist of his right hand: "All raised the fist of the right hand." ”
"My name is ......,"
"My name is ......"
"Starting today, join the Yuyuan Instrument Group!"
"Starting today, join the Yuyuan Instrument Group!"
"I swear, punctual according to the regulations of the Yuyuan equipment group, strictly keep secrets, and do not divulge secrets to anyone except the equipment group!"
"I swear, punctual according to the regulations of the Yuyuan equipment group, strictly keep secrets, and do not divulge secrets to anyone except the equipment group!"
Su Baiyi said a word, and the members below followed suit.
This seemingly childish way of swearing is sometimes the most cohesive and can achieve unexpected effects.
In addition, Su Baiyi decided to wait for the establishment of the real mechanical group and ordnance group in the future, and to implement isolation management separately to ensure that secrets will not be leaked to the greatest extent.
After taking the oath, Su Baiyi asked everyone to sit down, and said: "I don't want to repeat the words of confidentiality, but if any of you really leak secrets, hehe, I will kill all the people in your group!" ”
In the Ming Dynasty, as the master, he had the right to find a high-sounding reason to kill the servant.
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they secretly swore in their hearts not to leak today's events.
Su Baiyi saw that they were so nervous one by one, and said, "Don't be so nervous, in fact, as long as you sincerely abide by this agreement, there is no difficulty." From today onwards, you eight old carpenters will be called masters, each of whom will receive two taels of silver per month, and the rest of the apprentices, regardless of whether they have any money for food, will be assessed after three months, and if they do well and learn well, how much will they pay according to their performance? ”
Real money?
Hearing this, everyone became excited again.
Su Baiyi quietly took out a few drawings and put them on the table, and said to a few old carpenters: "You guys take a look first, can you understand the drawings of this object?" ”
What he pulled out was a drawing of a Jenny machine.
It is made of all wooden structures, so there is not much difficulty.
"I can read it!" After Jiao Da looked at it for a while, he was sure, "However, these words are not recognized by the villain!" ”
Jiao Da is actually literate, but the door-to-door marking is all Arabic numerals plus English letters, so it's strange that he can understand it!
Deng Long said: "It doesn't matter, it's all some size data, you can ask me when it's time to make it, and I'll answer it for you!" ”
"Thank you, Team Leader!"
The others looked at it for a while, and they all said they could understand it.
After all, the Jenny machine is simple, and there is nothing at all for woodworking.
"That's good!" Su Baiyi took out another drawing: "What about this, can you understand it?" ”
After watching it for a while, everyone also said that they could understand that it was not too complicated to make.
In larger terms, it is much simpler than the bucket arch, and it is almost the same as the top bed.
"Well, I'll give you fifteen days, and after fifteen days, three spinning machines, six looms, must be made." In fact, whether it is a Jenny machine or a shuttle loom, there are not many parts in itself.
Su Baiyi believes that as long as the carpenter masters the specific method, each carpenter with an apprentice is only responsible for the production of one or two parts of the parts, and it is not a problem to produce two or three units a day in the assembly line operation.
It's a beginner now, and it's the first time I've made it, so I've set the task a little lower.
Then, he took Deng Long and the group of carpenters to a place that had been prepared a long time ago, right on the edge of the South Lake, next to the small courtyard where they had spent the night last time.
The small courtyard was originally Qingye's private house, and it was impossible for him to let the workers occupy it, so he secretly bought another yard next to the small courtyard. This courtyard is far less exquisite than the courtyard of Qingye, there are many rooms inside, and more than a dozen people are enough to live or work.
All kinds of timber were ready, and a whole lot was put in the yard.
Carpentry tools such as axes, saws, and robes were also ready to stop.
Everything is ready, even the east wind is there.
……
On the Yuyuan construction site, nearly 500 people are on the construction site, which is quite spectacular from a distance.
According to the method of building houses by ordinary people, the foundation is first laid at the position of the wall, and then the blue brick wall is about one meter high, and then in order to save building materials, the wall is directly picked up with mud on the green brick wall.
The houses built in this way are relatively thick, and the thickness of the mud walls can generally reach one meter.
If it's too thin, the mud won't be able to build it, will it?
The advantage of this kind of wall is that it is thick and warm in winter and cool in summer.
The disadvantage is also that it is thick, and it takes a lot of manual stacking of mud when building.
According to the standard of the second and fourth walls of the ordinary one-story tube house in later generations, Su Baiyi only used two green bricks, which were directly formed from the bottom to the previous time. Not to mention the fast construction speed, the appearance is much better.
Besides, there will be more places to use green bricks in the future, and the bricks can still be used in turnover.
Five hundred people, under the huge pressure and temptation, exerted a super long explosive power.
It took a day and a half to finish the masonry of the wall, and two days to make the wooden beams.
Day 4, Gewa!
Completed all the dormitories, cafeterias, and public toilets one day in advance!
Of course, it also has to do with their food!
In addition to only giving Wotou on the first day, there are stir-fried vegetables in addition to Wotou every day in the future, not only stir-fried vegetables, but also lard in it, or three meals a day!
This was unimaginable in the past.
Even ordinary people's food can't be so good.
Once the houses were built, they were allocated, with 10 people living in each house. The brick bed was made of two wooden planks on top of the legs, and it was a simple bed, and each person was given two thick quilts and a thick mattress.
It's very crowded, but it's still better than the previous living environment in the main hall countless times, at least, you won't worry about freezing to death when you sleep at night.
Of course, the construction of the temporary dormitory is finished, but it is not the end.
And build a factory!
According to Su Baiyi's request, the five hundred people were divided into three waves.
Yibo helped Fu Lin and them to make glass, and built many new glass furnaces; The second wave added a temporary canopy to the glass furnace, which can be regarded as an indoor operation.
The third wave of people began to build a formal factory: Yuyuan Textile Factory!
Because I didn't have time to choose a land, I had to make do with it next to the temporary dormitory and start building a textile factory.
Different from glass manufacturing, this textile factory is not able to see rain at all, so it must be carefully constructed, although it does not meet the standards of later generations of factories, but at least one point, it can not leak rain, there must be a space for equipment security, there must be a warehouse for cotton storage, and there must be a warehouse for cloth storage.
The deadline was very tight, and it was completed within 10 days.
Fortunately, there are many people, and the scale of the construction of this plant is not very large, Su Baiyi calculated according to the number of existing women, basically twenty Jenny machines and fifty flying shuttle looms can meet the requirements of production.
On the day the temporary dormitory was completed, another piece of good news came!
The bezoar is coming!
Niu Huang's boat stopped on the bank of the Yellow River, and most of the boatload of white stones had arrived!
It turned out that after Su Baiyi left, he began to load the ship with his nephew, and the loading was completed in two days, and then he and Su Baiyi drove to Guide Mansion.
It's just that he took a small waterway, and the speed was very slower than that of a big boat, so he came late.
The three people on the boat, Su Baiyi, all knew each other, and in addition to the bezoar, there were also fifteen and eighth. It's all old friends!
"More than 20,000 catties!" Niu Huang got off the boat and said to Su Baiyi.
Su Baiyi nodded!
20,000 catties, which sounds like a lot, but in fact it is only a lot?
Converted into a unit of later generations, it is about ten tons.
What is the concept of ten tons?
Ordinary large trucks with four front and eight back can hold about 40 to 60 tons in one car.
How many is ten tons?
It's just a small pile after unloading the truck.
However, for the time being, it will definitely be enough!
