Chapter Ninety-One: Mechanical Power
Yang Yuanzhao is very strange, all along, these masters have been very respectful to him, for these masters, he has no bad words, in a sense, there is no contradiction, why is Master Zhang like this, Yang Yuanzhao didn't understand, and found another master, but he didn't expect it, or refused, he thought it was a simple thing, but he was unanimously rejected, and even some masters were angry, most of them were similar to Master Zhang, some were more irritable, and even raised their fists, if it weren't for the two of them, separated him from the master, and there would even be a physical conflict, but the long entourage with those masters still had a little conflict, and the scene was chaotic.
Immersed in the excitement Wei Ming, he found out about the movement here, he didn't know what was going on, he hurriedly ran over, shouted to stop the angry masters, and then asked the reason, after knowing the cause and effect, pulled Yang Yuanzhao aside, and said with some embarrassment: "Yuanzhao, the problem of the formula, this is all a secret, even if we are the owner, we can't force them to take it out!" ”
"Esoteric?" Yang Yuanzhao sneered, it seems that it is the tradition of Chinese craftsmen again, the broom is self-cherished, the man is not passed on to the woman, the disciple is not passed on to the daughter-in-law, it is precisely because of this, China's splendid history of civilization, how many things have been invented, and then invented after being lost, some, simply completely lost, it is this narrow thinking, the formula of bricks, if it is not for the brick factory has been put into production, the building materials can not wait at all, he himself can use the help of the all-in-one machine, invent hundreds of thousands, good quality, cheap brick formula.
"Why don't you let it go first?" Wei Ming looked at Yang Yuanzhao with some embarrassment, on the other side, the masters and masters also gathered together, and the work of ingredients also stopped, obviously, they were also discussing this matter.
The idea of letting go of it was not in Yang Yuanzhao's thoughts at all, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother Wenju, I respect you very much, but this time, I don't want to retreat, the master who is willing to cooperate can stay and cooperate, take out the formula, I will compensate 500 yuan for each formula, if two of the same formula, equal share of 500 yuan, if you don't want to cooperate, where do you come from, where to go, isn't it just some rotten brick formula, if it weren't for the tight time, I wouldn't have paid for it!" ”
Yang Yuanzhao waved his hand, and it was directly settled, Wei Ming opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but did not say it, this is equivalent to the formula, and spent a lot, he knows the formula of the brick and tile factory, there are almost 7 kinds, which is equivalent to saying that 3500 yuan is gone, and he has the intention to refute, but in the entire brick and tile factory, Yang Yuanzhao occupies more than 50% of the shares, and he has decided to do something, Wei Ming can't say anything.
Just now, it just showed a little bit of power of the brick-making machine, but the money that came out of the table made Wei Ming happy, Yang Yuanzhao really didn't lie to him, the efficiency of the brick-making machine is definitely much higher than that of the brick factory in Taiyuan, and the dependence on the master and so on is also much less.
Yang Yuanzhao's long entourage, facing the masters, announced his final decision, the master group, there was an uproar, for these craftsmen, this is a great insult, the master surnamed Zhang first turned around and left, his leader, more than a dozen masters also left one after another.
The master left, there was no way to continue the batching, and the brick factory stopped, Wei Ming was a little panicked, ran to Yang Yuanzhao, and said: "Yuanzhao, if you don't slow down, you see, the work has stopped!" ”
"Isn't there anyone else?" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly.
"But ......" Wei Ming, who was anxious, wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yang Yuanzhao and said: "Wei Ming, do you think this is an example, a factory, if a few people grasp the lifeline, how much hidden danger will there be, don't tell me you don't know?" ”
"Hidden dangers?" Wei Ming was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but remember that more than a year ago, when the Taiyuan Brick Factory was just established, a master jumped ship, which paralyzed the entire brick factory.
"It seems, you also know, such drawbacks, not only one, modern factories, with machines to replace labor, not only ordinary labor, but also technical personnel, to ensure that the factory in the absence of anyone, will be operated, you also see, but is a simple formula, just let them have such a big reaction, if it involves something else, these people take a wage increase, or even ask for money to threaten, we also give?
Wei Ming opened his mouth, he wanted to sue Yang Yuanzhao, he was too worried, logically speaking, what Yang Yuanzhao said was right, a factory cannot be clamped down, once there is a problem, it will be very fatal for the factory.
Wei Ming calmed down, and the chaotic scene ended, sure enough, the master did not all go, 500 a formula, this price is very big for most people, especially these ordinary masters, in the face of the wealth that may harvest more than ten acres of land, between concept and money, they still chose money.
It took almost no effort for Yang Yuanzhao to get 9 recipes, for this, Yang Yuanzhao no longer invested in research, he only needed to design the drawings of the best mixer according to these recipes.
The master who stayed, a total of 7 people, relatively few, but with the help of the workers, barely supported the operation of the brick factory, but the extremely efficient brick making machine, had to stop one, otherwise, the material could not keep up at all.
The master who left, after knowing that there were 7 people left, was furious, but he didn't dare to come back to them, the forces of the Wei family and the Yang family are not vegetarians, obviously, they must have been abandoned, I thought there was room for redemption, but now, these masters thought about it for a while, said goodbye to Wei Ming, and left Baotou.
Yang Yuanzhao didn't care about it at all, and began to study it attentively, and it took more than a day of work, and after more than ten times of practice, the new mixer was finally completed and carried to the factory.
The 7 masters who stayed behind, in the past day, were very tired, tireless, and fast, they had to constantly configure, so that they could barely keep up, and the intensity of one day was almost equal to the previous two days.
On a hot day, almost the sweat never stopped, and when I was exhausted, several strong men came to the factory with a strange machine.
This machine qì, the whole is round, some like the glass cover of a kerosene lamp, but it is a lot short, fat and thick, this is exactly Yang Yuanzhao according to the later generations, the principle of the concrete mixer, the overall power is to be pushed by a steam engine, one-time, can stir 12 cubic meters of soil, up to 15 minutes can complete a stirring, a 12 cubic meters of material, master to mix, need 100 masters, an hour's time, now, only 15 minutes can be, In this way, the efficiency of the brick making machine is improved, or more brick making machines are simply used.
The mixer was quickly installed, and the masters also saw that what this mixer was for, the machine was very powerful, and the brick making machine in front of him was proof, but it was a foreigner's thing, imported from outside, and the one in front of him was obviously made by Yang Yuanzhao, and according to the formula they gave before, in a short period of time, it was really useful?
After installing the mixer, the workers injected enough materials into the mixer according to the proportion, which were filled into the mixer according to the summarized proportion, and then the power shaft was connected, and the mixer began to rotate from slow to fast, and under the effect of mechanical stirring, various materials were mixed together.
15 minutes of time, in a blink of an eye, when the mixed material into the inlet, a few masters slightly suspicious picked up a little, after careful inspection, the face showed a shocked expression, only 15 minutes, this strange machine, without manpower to manipulate, to complete their dozens of people, an hour may not be able to complete the work, the most important thing is that the material is mixed very well, absolutely first-class.
Wei Ming also saw something from the expression of the master, slightly gave Yang Yuanzhao a thumbs up, and thought about it in his heart, but it was the reform of Baotou, according to Yang Yuanzhao, basically, the master has become a dispensable task, although it is still needed, but it is not a must, this is the biggest benefit for a brick factory, it seems that after the brick factory in Baotou is stable, it is also necessary to purchase a few machines, including the huge mixer, as for those masters, their fate, It has already been decided.
Inadvertently, the fate of several people was decided, these, there was nothing left in Yang Yuanzhao's heart, if there is no accident, the brick factory will soon complete the bricks of the first kiln, and then the process of calcination, even if the refractory bricks are added, the firepower is greater than the average, and it will take more than 20 days, during this time, Yang Yuanzhao has already arranged and needs to prepare for the cement plant.
