Chapter 18: The Walls and the Guards
When the textile factory began to be established, Pei Chen went there several times.
After all, I am a partner, and it is necessary to show concern.
But also just to see, did not do much.
The matter is entrusted to Zhu Lingfang to do, and how to do it is her business.
The so-called suspicious people do not need to be used, and the employment is not suspicious.
In fact, when it comes to doing practical things, I have many shortcomings.
As far as some of his own behaviors are concerned, they do not fit the way of the world.
For example, if you take out your own ideas and tell others, nine out of ten people don't understand what they're talking about.
As a common people, they are in many ways similar to uncivilized savages.
Even if there is even simple literacy, there is not one in ten.
They are uneducated and have little knowledge.
And what I said, calculated according to history, is at least a thousand years ahead of time.
Let's take an analogy.
If you discuss calculus with a group of people who have never studied math, the result is the equivalent of playing the harp to a cow.
All you can do is find a few smart people and tell them what they want to do and what they want to do next, which is what they have to think.
I only provide ideas, and leave the facts to others.
One aspect of this can also be said to be related to the environment.
in terms of their current identity.
In the case of White Horse Village, if he stood up and called on everyone to do something, others would not even pay attention to him.
The same is true for Lanshan Village.
Lanshan Village's evaluation of itself is probably worse than that of Baima Village.
In their eyes, they are evil.
The current appearance of Lanshan Village is inseparable from itself.
Of course.
I don't want to see them.
But even so, he still pays his own wages and lets them do the work for him.
This is not a compensation for the guilt they feel for being in distress.
It's that you just need someone to do the work for you.
Speaking of which, it's using their labor to create value for themselves.
According to the words of the previous life.
The capitalists are sucking the blood of the workers.
If the capitalists of the previous life had come to this era, they would have been very happy.
As long as you can fill their stomachs, you can squeeze them as much as you want.
The people of this era are too cheap, and they only live their lives to eat.
Moreover, they will be grateful to you, after all, you gave them the right to survive.
A real-world example is:
Now Hua Guanwen is the people's desire in Lanshan Village, and it is even more said that Hua Guanwen should be the village head of Lanshan Village.
After Cao Wenxin's death, there was no village chief in Lanshan Village.
Lanshan Village does not have much oil and water, and since it has just undergone major changes, no official will come to take office.
Such examples are not uncommon.
After being appointed to a poor rural area, many officials do not take office immediately, but find connections to transfer themselves to the positions of their choice.
What I want to say here is that Cao Wenxin's situation belongs to a column.
Like Baima Village, Hua Guanwen was elected from the villagers and belonged to local households.
Lanshan Village has no village head, and at this time, Hua Guanwen reached out to them, and naturally thought that he could bring him a good life, so it was logical to want to push him to the position of village head.
Hua Guanwen did not agree, he was too old to run back and forth to manage Baima Village and Lanshan Village.
The village chief of Lanshan Village has become a vacancy for the time being.
However, this is not a big problem, and now the villagers of Lanshan Village can have food, and other things have become trivial.
The impact of the expansion of textile mills is manifold.
The investment in a new textile truck did not happen overnight.
But once you put it in, it's like a snowball.
Five times faster is just a number, but when it is implemented......
One man can do the work of five, and ten is fifty.
This is a huge shock to the market.
There were originally scattered textile households in Baima Village, and the last of these people were absorbed by Zhu Lingfang.
When you find that you work hard, it is not as good as working for others to earn more money, how to choose is a very clear thing.
After absorbing the existing textile households in Baima Village, Zhu Lingfang also set out to train new weavers.
For this reason, the Qin family added a lot of slaves.
This made outsiders envious of Qin Dazhong.
You must know that the life and death of slaves are not their own, and the master's family can beat and scold at will, including doing some excessive things.
It's just, does Qin Dazhong dare? I'm afraid that Zhu Lingfang will even take her head off when she arrives.
The textile mill has become bigger.
There were more shipments, so Zhu Chongqi asked his two sons to be Orion's sons and changed careers to help escort the cloth for sale.
At this point, Pei Chen has done almost everything.
At most, it is to make a few core components and accumulate inventory for Qin Dazhong.
If you have time, talk to Zhu Lingfang and learn about the development of the textile factory.
In the following days, Pei Chen began to do other things.
Hua Guanwen's courtyard.
When he looked at a small pond made of cement and broken stones, Hua Guanwen's face was full of surprise.
Not only is it exceptionally strong, but it doesn't leak.
There really is such an amazing thing.
"You said before that you want to build something in the village, by the way, it's called an industrial park." Hua Guan said.
"Yes, but not in the village, but to build Hakuba Village into an industrial park." Pei Chen said.
"Is this any different?"
"First of all, I will build a protective wall for the White Horse Village, and also, I will buy a group of slaves and build a convoy."
Hua Guanwen wondered if he had his ears behind his back, heard the wrong words, and hesitated, "I don't understand what you're trying to do." ”
"Actually, I also think it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse, but I think this bit of courage still needs to be there."
When he said this, Pei Chen was inexplicably confident.
The establishment of industrial parks is not just a matter of talking, but of really intending to do it.
Since you plan to do it, you have to do it well.
Well, once it's done, there's a problem you face.
I said it to Zhu Lingfang.
If there is a double profit, people will take risks, and if there is a five-fold profit, people will dare to commit crimes.
What problems does an industrial park ahead of its time bring?
It's something that has to be considered.
A certain means of self-protection is necessary.
It has been decided to use White Horse Village as a base to build a city wall and form an escort team, which is in his own consideration.
Of course, this must be done in moderation, and his current enemies are only bandits who may continue to look for trouble.
The pace is too big, and it will only backfire.
The city walls, the guards, the crossbow arrows, the black powder......
I have the confidence to let the bandits come and go.
In fact, I have also wondered if I will make a big fuss.
Motuozhai suffered two losses in a row in his own hands, and each time it was worse than the other, maybe he had scruples, Cao Wenxin also died, and the matter was likely to end here.
But I don't like any danger that might exist.
No matter how subtle the danger, I have to go all out.
As for why the cart is turned upside down, and the courage to ......
The industrial park I said was actually only one textile factory at the moment, and I still cooperated with people.
Only at this stage, I want to spend a lot of effort to build the city wall and form an escort team.
If the industrial park fails to do it by then, what you do will become a bamboo basket for water.
A simple sentence.
It's like finding a safe before you start making money.
This is putting the cart before the horse, but I have such courage.
With his own ability, if he fails to make the industrial park, then he will take Qin Mi'er to live a life of inaction.
Of course, there is another consideration for doing this yourself.
To establish an industrial park, in addition to technology, manpower is indispensable.
There is one important point involved in the use of manpower, and that is efficiency.
So how can we improve human efficiency?
The best way is to make everyone willing to work for you, which can be summed up in two words, namely, people's hearts.
The construction of the city wall and the formation of the guard team are to protect the White Horse Village, which can have the effect of gaining people's hearts.
Pei Chen didn't explain too much to Hua Guanwen, only said that he would do it.
Hua Guanwen was looking at Pei Chen, "I really can't understand you." ”
"Just treat me as a good person, no, this matter will be done in the name of my wife, she is the villager of Baima Village, and it can be regarded as a return."
Hua Guanwen's expression became more complicated, "You want to give your reputation to your wife, but you have to know that she is just a woman." ”
"What's wrong with women, women can also hold up half the sky, there are too many prejudices against women in this world, I don't have any ambition to change anything, but at least I can change myself."
Pei Chen's tone was very calm, but if he really spread this, it would definitely cause an uproar.
The next topic is to talk about how to build the city wall, as for the matter of the guard, it will be handed over to the Zhu family to help themselves, and the Zhu family is looking for slaves for Zhu Lingfang who can learn weaving, and will help them choose the candidates for the guard.
The matter of building the city wall needs Hua Guanwen's help and asks him to mobilize manpower.
The construction of the city walls was a big project.
Under normal circumstances, I can't think about it, but with cement it's different.
When limestone is mined in Lanshan Village, gravel can also be harvested along the way, and these gravel become materials.
The appearance of cement, in addition to being able to bond crushed stone, is also important to be able to shape the body at will.
This greatly saves secondary cutting and grinding, allowing any shape of stone to become part of the city wall.
By eliminating the time-consuming and laborious machining stage, the speed has been raised to a new level.
The matter of how to transfer personnel was handed over to Hua Guanwen, and Pei Chen could contribute technology and money.
"I originally wanted to ask you for a favor, but now I'm embarrassed to speak, what you have to do is for the sake of Baima Village, how can I use this as a capital to blackmail." Hua Guanwen sighed.
Pei Chen was puzzled, "What does this mean, there is no shortage of clarity." ”
Hua Guan smiled when he heard this, "Here's the thing, I have a granddaughter who wants you to teach her, I originally thought, I'm doing you a favor, this request shouldn't be too much, but now, what you're doing is benefiting White Horse Village, how embarrassed am I to put forward such a condition." ”
Pei Chen thought for a moment, "Are you sure she knows what I do and is interested in what I do?" ”
