Chapter 220: Situation
Chapter 220 Bureau
Long before Watt, the steam engine appeared. [The update is fast, the website page is refreshing, there are few advertisements, and you can even chase the city of Alexandria in ancient Greece in the first century, and the scenery tube invented by Hero.] But before Watt improved the steam engine, the main role of the steam engine was only as a water extraction machine for mines.
It can be said that it was Watt who gave new life to the steam engine. Without Watt's research, the steam engine turned into a steel monster of an era, and perhaps the development of human civilization would have been unknown for many years.
Perhaps because of this, Watt's name as a reformer overshadows the people who came before him on his shoulders.
Chen Baichuan also knew that he not only became Hiro, but also Watt.
Although the steam engine he presided over the development can only be attributed to the early steam engine, it has been able to be put into practical use and provide a steady stream of power.
Now it's only a matter of time before the age of steam comes.
Chen Baichuan doesn't know how future generations will record himself, but it shouldn't be too bad to think about it, after all, he can be regarded as standing on the cusp of the times and leading the advent of a new era.
It's just that time is running out, and there is no more time for him to devote himself to scientific research.
He kept in mind the burden on his body, and it had been a year since he came here, and the great crisis of Chen Guo might be coming.
Chen Baili was assigned by King Chen to lead Chen's army to turn into a Great Wall of human flesh on the frontier to resist the northward advance of Nanqing's army. However, the situation on the Daheng side is not optimistic, and it is reported that the pace of the Beiban has reached the foot of Daheng Huoshan City.
If Huoshan City fell, Chen Baichuan couldn't imagine the next situation at all.
Sooner or later, the army of Nanqing would cross the border, and the iron cavalry of the Northern Barbarians galloped towards the yellow sand. The fate of the state of Chen is that as a defeated country, the king of Chen will be placed under house arrest, the ministers will be enslaved, the people will be killed, they will be inferior, and they will live in humiliation forever.
So Daheng can't fail.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency."
Chen Baichuan's train of thought was suddenly interrupted by the voice shouting his name, and when he looked up, it turned out to be the director of the Thunder Control Bureau and the director of the Steam Mechanism Bureau.
These two are now rising, and their names in their own camp are even louder than those old men like Xu Damian. One stems from the prestige caused by the research and production of the two bureaus, and they can produce these things, thanks to Chen Baichuan.
Therefore, the two of them have always been respectful to Chen Baichuan, in addition to the respect of their subordinates for Shangguan, there is also a gratitude in it.
Chen Baichuan didn't dare to snub the two of them too much now, he smiled slightly, and said, "Hezun, Xue Zhi, you two have something to find me?" ”
"As the Director expected." It was He Zun who spoke, and although Chen Baichuan had many titles, he was still used to calling him the director as before.
Chen Baichuan let out a light "oh" and began to wait for the following.
He Zun continued: "At lunch today, after discussing with Director Xue, I felt that it would be more beneficial for future research to merge the two bureaus into one. At the moment, many of the products between the two bureaus are closely linked, but because they are divided into two bureaus, it is much more difficult for the two producers to negotiate. ”
Xue Zhi, a seemingly coarse man, obviously understands things better than Hezun, he followed Hezun's words and said: "After the merger of the two bureaus, they will be directly named the bureau, and the director of the bureau will naturally be you, and then five departments will be divided into five departments, which will be served by me, Hezun and others selected by the adults. Naturally, the major affairs of the bureau are decided by adults, and the usual management is discussed by the supervisors. ”
After listening to Xue Zhi's words, Lord Chen nodded in agreement with their plan after some deliberation in his heart.
In order to merge the bureau, these two are even willing to give up part of their power, which shows that they have at least really considered the development of the bureau. The sub-department management seems to have just solved the situation of the two directors having too much power. Xue Zhi also made it clear that the new supervisor is chosen by himself.
There is another wish, that is, there is not much time left for him, and he will have to complete all the business by January of the following year. Take the army to the battlefield and start the army's first big battle.
He is not afraid of failure, but he is afraid that he will not win completely enough.
His 'Sichuan' army, which was based on the 'Sichuan' battalion and sharpened by his own hands, can be said to be absolutely invincible in the case of the same number of people. With numerical superiority in being able to defeat his troops, Lord Chen is only a handful. It is nothing more than Daheng's victorious Tianlin army, and the Northern Barbarians are like the iron floating slaughter of the torrent of steel. The other armies, in a head-to-head confrontation, had absolutely no hope of defeating the 'Sichuan' battalion.
After Lord Chen's consent, the two directors were obviously relieved, they probably understood the situation in front of them, for fear that Chen Baichuan would veto their plan because of fear.
"But since we're going to merge, let's be thorough. In the future, any new invention research will be included in the system system, and researchers and production personnel should be distinguished, divided into research bureau and manufacturing bureau, Hezun leads the research bureau, and Xue Zhi leads the manufacturing bureau. Chen Baichuan thought about it, but still said his plan.
Chen Baichuan's clever planning lies in the fact that after the development reaches a certain level, he can easily separate production and research.
Hezun and Xue Zhi did not have Chen Baichuan's foresight, and they felt that in Lord Chen's plan, the status of the two of them was much higher, so they naturally would not refuse.
Chen Baichuan smiled like a spring breeze and said, "Director He, Director Xue, this official has gone to the barracks." ”
The two "director" screams made the faces of the two people hot. Not to mention, in fact, their inner desire for power has long driven them to fantasize about being called the director countless times. Although there has not been much change in power, their hearts are still infinitely satisfied......
The next place is where the military camp of the 'Sichuan' character army is located.
After a year of vigorous development, Longxing is no longer the barren land it was at the beginning. Although the green is still not taking root here.
A thick layer of lime mud was laid on the ground, and tall barracks rose from the ground. For the soldiers, Lord Chen ordered Chu Hui to train them to the death, while providing fish, meat, eggs and milk, and also built a dormitory for them to live in.
Compared with the leaky tent, the stone and brick dormitory is obviously much more comfortable to live in. However, due to manpower problems, only half of the army's dormitories are currently built, and many soldiers can only live in tents. For this reason, Chu Hui also set a rule, only those who have excellent grades in training can live in a beautiful and comfortable dormitory building.
"Your Excellency."
The soldiers he met along the way all saluted Chen Baichuan. Instead of kneeling, they raise their fists in front of their hearts, palms facing outwards.
