Compared with Wuchang and Hankou, Hanyang, which is bordered by the Yangtze River in the east and Hanshui in the north, is undoubtedly a little "remote", and even seems a little backward, but it is just a small town.

After the Cantonese bandits attacked the city last year and suffered a military disaster, Hanyang was almost reduced to an abandoned city, but with the dispersion of the soldiers, the city also slowly recovered, although the speed of recovery is far from comparable to Wuchang, but it has shown a little vitality. Compared with the inside of the city, the outside of the city is more prosperous.

In particular, it is located at the foot of the North Beese Mountain in Hanyang City, adjacent to Dongyue Lake on the left, Qingchuan Pavilion on the right, the Hanjiang River in the north, and the Yangtze River on the right.

To be able to build such a large factory in the north of Hanyang City, thanks to the original Changmao evacuated, burned its city, plundered its people, the north of the city was burned into a red land, and because of this, the Governor's Mansion has to establish a factory here, and there is no need to requisition private land, private houses, in fact, this Wuchang or Hanyang, Hankou can also be burned by the Cantonese bandits, which also enables the Governor to set up factories here, such as the Wuchang City under the silk reeling factory, shipyards, all benefit from this. And the fact that the three cities were able to show their vitality so quickly also benefited from the establishment of factories.

In the thick fog, the chimney of the factory spewed soot, and no one pointed to the chimney and said, "The good world is full of ghosts", saying that it is bad to use feng shui, after all, these factories are all government-run factories, even if someone tries to use feng shui to talk about water, they must first weigh their heads, after all, these factories are machine factories.

At this time, this gun factory in the north of Hanyang City is not so much a factory as a fairly large-scale construction site, with thousands of ragged craftsmen scattered around the construction site like ant colonies, busy in an orderly manner. Although the machines purchased from the United States for the manufacture of guns had not yet arrived, several factories were still in operation.

The brick chimney of up to six or seven zhang is spewing smoke, the steam engine in the workshop is roaring, at the end of the workshop, a belt connects the axis of heaven and the axis of the earth, driven by the steam engine, the axis of heaven transmits power to the nearby factory, in the factory, dozens of various machines are roaring, most of these machines are second-hand machines, all purchased from Hong Kong and India, before the machines ordered from Britain and the United States arrive, the factory can only use these second-hand machines. Even several factories in Wuchang use hand-cranked machines.

The machine roared and the workers were cutting wrought iron parts on the machine when suddenly a wolf howl was heard in the workshop.

"Ahh

After this scream, all the workers who were working were shocked. Immediately afterwards, someone shouted madly:

"Downtime! Shut down! Something happened! ”

As the workshop squad leader Yang Lao Wu, as soon as he heard that something was wrong, he shouted while running:

"Stop! Stop the car! ”

When the mechanic who controlled the transmission outside the workshop heard this, he immediately pulled off the handle and broke away from the connection between the sky axis and the earth axis.

The machine stopped, and the workshop was as silent as death.

Yang Lao Wu ran down the machine and shouted:

"What's going on! What's going on! ”

A worker hurriedly said:

"Something happened to Master Liang!"

The worker's words shocked Yang Lao Wu's heart, and he hurriedly ran to the back of the machine. When he ran to the machine out of breath and looked at it, he froze. I saw his senior brother Liang Libang kneeling beside the machine, one of his hands wrapped in rags was stuck between the transmission belts, his pale face was splashed with blood, and beads of sweat and blood were dripping down.

Yang Lao Wu hurriedly squatted down and asked:

"What did you do! Why do you roll your hands into this man-eating tiger! ”

Man-eating tigers!

That's the machine, and when I started using it a few months ago, four or five people's hands were swept into the machine.

Liang Libang, who was trembling in pain, scolded while eating the pain:

"******, I just changed it, who would have thought that the cloth belt on this waist would make the belt stick, I reached out and tried to stop it......"

At this time, his whole body was in pain, and his mouth was sobbing cold, but he was shouting.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, save my hand, I can't live without it."

It's all over without a hand!

Just glanced at it, and saw the flesh and blood, bone residue and other things flat between the belt and the shaft, Yang Lao Wu's heart sank violently - it seems that this hand can't be saved!

Naturally, the hand can't be saved!

By the time the machine started again, almost an hour had passed, and for the workers, even if the machine was a man-eating tiger, they had to continue to work for their livelihood.

And Chen Duan, who has been supervising the construction of the factory in the factory for the past few days, stared at the bloody rag in front of him, but his brows were wrinkled.

"Can't keep your hand?"

"It looks like it can't be saved, the bones are broken into slag, even if it is sent to the hospital in Wuchang, I'm afraid it can't be saved!"

Shaking his head, Liu Tao smiled helplessly, from a comprador to a factory manager, it takes a process of adaptation, but things like the one in front of him are not what he is willing to adapt to. After all, for workers, that hand is the livelihood of a family of several people!

It is precisely because of this that he will send him to Wuchang on the other side, where there is a hospital, although it is a place for students to "practice", but there are also foreign doctors in it, and he is very good at seeing similar surgeries.

"This foreign tiger has eaten again!"

Chen Duan sighed, unlike Liu Tao, who was born as a comprador, he was born as a scholar, and his understanding of machines was not even as good as Liu Tao's, but after this sigh, his brows furrowed violently.

"If it continues like this, there may be some ignorant people passing on something, and our eaters are eating flesh and blood before they can operate!"

After this concern, his mind came to him, staring at the rag and thinking of a solution.

As one of the six ministers of the Ministry of Industry, once upon a time he tried to become the director of the Ministry of Industry, and even when Xi Zhimo went to Daye, he tried to express himself on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wore a Han-style robe, and even accumulated his hair, which was different from Xi Zhimo's dress, so as to avoid Xi Zhimo being generally called a "fake foreign devil", and even directly led to some people opposing him as the director of the Ministry of Industry.

But a while ago, Han Du issued several written orders one after another, not only appointing Xi Zhimo as the director of the Ministry of Works, but also prohibiting officials from riding in sedan chairs, which not only shattered Chen Duan's dream of being the director, but even he smelled other breaths. In the face of sudden changes, he became more and more conscientious, and in less than a month, he spent almost entirely in the factory, and even went down to the salt mine in Yingcheng to explore it himself.

This is where he is smart, and in the past month, he has come up with several suggestions for the rectification of factories and mines. The bloody rag in front of him now also gave him an opportunity.

"Is it because of the loincloth belt?"

"Not really! These individuals are always reluctant to give up such a few ragged clothes, and it is forbidden to wear robes in the factory, but they never thought that the belt would also be wrapped around the machine, and now it is good to put their hands in it! What if they wore belted pants? ”

The reason why this is so is that Chinese-style trousers do not have a waist, and the thick waist of the trousers is often wrapped with a long cloth belt, and the cloth head left behind is the "culprit" of this incident.

"It's a shame that the waist of my pants was loosened at that time, if I wrapped my waist in it, maybe I would really die!"

Without waiting for Liu Tao to finish speaking, Chen Duan's frowning brows suddenly raised and said in a solemn voice.

"Uniforms!"

"Uniforms?"

"That's right! If the uniforms are issued to the workers, if this clothing comes out, and it is only forbidden for them to wear anything, then we will solve the problem fundamentally and directly issue uniforms to them, and all the workers in the government-run factories must wear uniforms...... Well, like the army! ”

After saying this solution, Chen Duan's face was full of smiles.

"The machine runs between the axis of heaven and earth, the belt rotates, the disheveled person may not only be injured by the machine, but may even destroy the machine, since the factory will use foreign machines in the future, then the workers' clothes must also be changed, I think it is based on the military uniform as a model, customized tooling, as long as it is working with my factory, you must wear fixed tooling, and ......"

Thinking of the many inconveniences of seeing those workers with slightly longer hair in the workshop during production, Chen Duan continued.

"This long hair is easy to block the view when working, and there is also a risk of injury to the machine, so the factory will set an example in the future, and the hair length should not exceed one inch! No beard of more than half an inch is allowed! ”

"Chen Dushi, this fixed work is nothing, but who pays for this money?"

Liu Tao naturally would not object to changing to military uniforms, but he directly pointed out the root of the problem. Money, this is the root of the problem, the factory does not have this money.

"Of course they come out on their own!"

Without hesitation, Chen Duan said coldly.

"The factory has taken care of their meals, and it is difficult to give them clothes, and besides, this clothes are also for their good, of course, they have to pay for this money, and tell them that if they don't change into overalls, they will be dismissed...... No! ”

As soon as the words came out, Chen Duan realized that these workers were not easy to cultivate, and if he dismissed one, it would be difficult for the governor to deal with it, and maybe he would give someone a handle, so he quickly changed his words.

"Directly deduct from their salary, and in the future, each person will be issued a few sets of tooling every year, and the money will be deducted directly from the salary! If they object, tell them that it is for the sake of saving their lives, and if anyone does not listen, let them go to the Purs! ”

After saying this, Chen Duan suddenly turned the conversation again, looked at Liu Tao and said.

"Yide, this apprentice training must be done well, after all, what Handu values most now is this factory, if there is no apprentice, how can there be a factory!" (To be continued.) )
