In the summer of Baotou, it was dark very late, five or six o'clock, in the winter it was the time when night fell, but at this time, the sun was slightly slanting westward, and Yang Yuanzhao was busy for a day, just after finishing work, Chang Sui Xiaohan just told Yang Yuanzhao that the Yang family's convoy had arrived.

The Yang family's fleet has to come several times a year, especially after Yang Yuanzhao's development of Baotou, the number of times it has come more often, before the brick and tile factory was not officially put into operation, the bricks of the cement plant were built and basically the Yang family caravan was purchased from all over the country, this time, it was not specifically to receive and deliver, it was to give away.

The 150 workers were brought in by the Yang family and the Wei family, and they have always been the focus of Yang Yuanzhao's attention, because it is related to whether the construction of the cement plant is smooth. In this era, he doesn't know how many industrial workers there are, I am afraid there are only a few hundred people engaged in the cement industry, the most is the Qixin Cement Plant, and some other concession cement factories, the output is not high, and 150 people can be recruited, even if it is only a junior worker, for the construction of the entire cement plant, it will have a significant effect, how strong Yang Yuanzhao is, there is only one person, a person with more than 1,000 illiterate farmers, even if there is a full set of machine equipment, It is impossible to run such a huge factory, without the help of a group of skilled old workers, after all, it is a flower in the mirror.

instructed Qian Hu a few times, let them continue to work hard, and then took Da Han and Xiao Han to Baotou,

When I came to the vicinity of the Baoken Company, I saw Liu Quan running out of the smoke, and when I saw Yang Yuanzhao, I said happily: "Young Master Yang, my son-in-law asked me to come to you!" ”

"Are the personnel all here, and they've settled down, right?" Yang Yuanzhao asked casually.

"Yes, my young master has settled down, and he will be arranged in those mansions nearby!"

"Yes, settle people first, remember to ask more to see what they need!"

"Yes, Young Master Yang, these young masters of my family have been ordered, and the young master is waiting for you!"

Liu Shu would come to him, his thoughts, Yang Yuanzhao knew more or less, sure enough, after meeting Liu Shu, Liu Shu took out a list, which was a detailed list of the 150 workers.

During this time, Yang Yuanzhao has always emphasized various archives and records, and the list of workers in the reclamation company has been gradually improved, because of this, the Yang family and the Wei family have also applied it in the recruitment of workers, although there is an extra effort, but they have found that this kind of personnel management seems to be much easier, and the Yang family and the Wei family seem to be deciding to improve this file system in their own chamber of commerce.

What should the Yang family and the Wei family do, Yang Yuanzhao doesn't care, he cares about this group of workers, each worker has a piece of paper, more than hundreds of words, less than a dozen words, and writes in detail the name of each worker, basic information, family information, etc., if these are normal, Yang Yuanzhao will look at it again and learn more about the workers, which is very helpful for his next management, but at this time, the construction of the cement plant is basically at a critical moment, directly skipping this and looking back.

Behind the basic information, there are each person's expertise, as well as qualifications, the chamber of commerce of the Yang family and the Wei family, really strong, this time only 150 people were recruited, it seems that the number is not much, but each of them is a key department of the cement plant, among the 150 people, there are at least 120 in the cement-related industry, of which 40 are directly recruited from Qixin and some other front-line workers in the ash field, and they can barely form a team to work.

In addition to the 40 workers recruited from Qixin, there are 30 recruited from other factories, and most of them are ash farms, Qixin is the largest ash field in China, but in the concession, there are many cement factories built directly by foreigners, the prosperity of Shanghai Shili Yangchang, half of it is because of the concession, and a small half is the use of cement and electricity, and the construction of buildings with cement, fast and solid, is one of the important factors that Shanghai can prosper.

From the crushing and grinding of raw materials, to the control and molding of cement, basically, most of the base talents are available, among them, there are even 10 workers who are called masters by the factory, which can be said to be the Dinghai Shenshen needle of the factory.

In the old Chinese factories, there were no so-called technicians and technicians, but the master master, the big worker or technician in the factory, the important role in the factory is obvious to all, it can be said that a factory, even if it is a machine or something, there is not much change, and a few less masters will almost destroy most of the factory's production capacity.

Yang Yuanzhao carefully looked at the introduction of these masters, which is also the essence of the 150 workers, each master has a unique unique skill, some in Yang Yuanzhao's view is not worth mentioning, is some experience summed up from production, practice makes perfect, these can be solved or avoided with the machine, these masters are useful in the early stage, once the factory machine is perfect, the operation is flexible, they are also a skilled worker. But some, but he was amazed, such as the one Yang Yuanzhao is watching, who mainly operates the blast furnace, he can judge the approximate temperature from the shape of the cement in the furnace, to ensure the efficiency of cement firing, generally the blast furnace he supervises, the quality of cement is better than usual.

Whether it is cement or steel, temperature is the key, if it does not reach a certain temperature, many impurities cannot be refined, more or less, it will affect the quality of cement or steel, and the temperature base has always been the key to industrial production. The science and technology of this era, far less developed than the later generations, the accurate measurement of temperature in the case of high temperature, has always been a relatively difficult problem to solve, this era, the thermometer below 100 degrees has already appeared, but the thermometer above 400 degrees, there is no at all, one is the material, there are few materials that can withstand the high temperature above 400 degrees, the breakthrough of high-temperature materials, until after World War II, has been developed on a large scale, second, most of the researchers, for high temperature reaction and temperature measurement, It is still in the initial research stage.

This kind of industrialized high-temperature thermometer, Yang Yuanzhao doesn't have it here, and he doesn't even have a clue, the appearance of this master master makes him almost able to let go of half of his heart in terms of cement temperature control, and he no longer worries about the large-scale waste caused by the problem of temperature control at the beginning.

With such a temperature control experience, if this experience can be generalized, in the absence of a high-temperature thermometer, according to some forms and structures of cement, grasp the temperature of the level, in this way, the yield rate of cement, as well as the quality, will be on the original basis, there is a considerable improvement, not high-grade cement, but has a higher quality, which is no less than a catalyst for Baotou, which is in large demand for cement.

Yang Yuanzhao put his hand on this piece of information, and tapped gently, the previous changes in the brick and tile factory were resolved by him with a lot of money, but it was not without hidden dangers, if it weren't for his use of a mixer, precise proportioning, instead of the master's mixture, such a formula is more stable, and the fixed formula and machine qì replaced the master's manpower manipulation, a large amount of dù above, reducing the dependence on the master, it can be regarded as a problem, otherwise it will play a mess.

The ratio of the brick and tile factory is a small thing, even if the masters do not compromise, it is nothing more than looking for other masters, 500 yuan of heavy money, can always be found, even if you can't find it, it is just a waste of a little time, how much can you waste by burning bricks, cement is different, raw materials are an important aspect, and if a furnace is scrapped, the cost of labor and raw materials is very amazing, once there is a problem, the result is not Yang Yuanzhao can bear, the most important thing is that among the 150 workers, there is this ability, There is only one, and the most important one.

A, that is to say, even if Yang Yuanzhao is unwilling, he must be restrained by this master, otherwise, not only the production of the cement plant will be greatly affected, but even a large amount of waste will be generated, which will affect the efficiency of the cement plant.

I feel very uncomfortable, for the construction of a modern factory Yang Yuanzhao, it is very difficult to accept, but for a high temperature thermometer, invest a lot of energy, into the research, this is not Yang Yuanzhao is willing, a field, for him, is a very unfamiliar field, whether in school, or in the work, have never been contacted, on the other hand, this difficulty is also very large, thermometer, generally speaking, is to find a metal with a more balanced thermal expansion ratio, Or other materials as the core material of the thermometer, the mercury thermometer commonly used in later generations is used as a commonly used thermometer with the help of mercury when the temperature changes, the expansion is relatively balanced.

Unfortunately, the mercury thermometer is only suitable for low temperature environments, and has no effect on industrial high temperature fields such as 500-3000 degrees, and Yang Yuanzhao is unlikely to invest huge energy to find suitable alloy materials.

Embarrassment, Yang Yuanzhao's brows couldn't help frowning, no matter what, before finding a replacement, he could only use this Li Mingsheng, but if it was necessary, it was necessary to choose, after thinking about it for a while, Yang Yuanzhao asked Liu Shu: "Brother Zelin, how much do you know about this Li Mingsheng?" ”
