After visiting the computer research and development center, Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang returned to the Forbidden City.

However, Zhu Jingyuan still paid close attention to the progress of the research and development of computer technology, and the research and development of larger tube computers and transistors would be specially explained to Zhu Jingyuan every month in the future.

Zhu Jingyuan has a new idea in his daily life, and he will immediately cooperate with the outreach and let people send them to the computer center.

In the following days, Zhu Jingyuan's life became very busy, but there were fewer things to use his brain.

Now that it is the second half of the fourth year of Ankang, the things that I should do in Xintianfu have been almost arranged.

The situation in Xintianfu is stable and improving, and Zhu Jingyuan will leave Xintianfu after the beginning of spring next year.

Zhu Jingyuan is busy now, mainly confirming the results reports sent by various parties, going to various factories to participate in various acceptance, production, and offline ceremonies, and issuing various special certificates and awards.

On September 5, the fourth year of Ankang, Zhu Jingyuan went to his own textile factory outside Xintianfu City to participate in the acceptance ceremony of a new and complete rayon knitting textile workshop.

Before the official start of the ceremony, Hao Zhongyi, the technical manager of the textile factory, the technical director of the Lu cuisine apprentice, came to Zhu Jingyuan first, and talked about the situation of the factory with a spring breeze on his face:

"Your Highness, I dare to pat my chest and tell you now that the factory in Xintianfu is already the same as the factory in Mengxian County.

"Whether it is production efficiency or product quality, there is no gap with Mengxian County, and it may even be better.

"If the goods produced by our firm are not specially labeled as the place of origin, ordinary people will not be able to distinguish the place of origin."

Zhu Jingyuan and Hao Zhongyi are also more familiar, and directly patted the shoulder of the technical director:

"Okay, I've been busy with you for a long year, I think you're ...... Uh, I don't seem to have lost weight......"

Hao Zhongyi couldn't help laughing:

"I really didn't lose weight, I have meat on my belly, my family said that Xintianfu is really more nutritious than Meng County......"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded, the climate of Xintianfu is indeed better than that of East Mozhou (Africa):

"How's the workers here? Workers from the Yin people and workers from the Ming people, working together, and workers from various countries in Mengxian County, which side is more efficient? ”

Hao Zhongyi said almost instinctively:

"The workers here are better than those in Mengxian County, except for the Ming people and the Yin people, there are no Japanese, Koreans, South Vietnamese, Siamese, Luzon, these messy elements.

"Moreover, the naturalized Yin people here have no obvious difference in their living habits from the Ming people.

"Especially in the factory, it is registered and managed with a general examination certificate.

"Working in a factory, I only look at the certificate and don't look at the background.

"Therefore, in our factory, there is only a difference between regular workers, contract workers, and apprentices, and there is no direct difference between Ming and Yin people.

"Everybody's goal is to be a regular worker."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded again after hearing this, quite satisfied with the current situation.

The policy of integrating and naturalizing Yin people in Xintianfu has been determined, and a general education assessment once a quarter has become a common practice.

At the same time, in all places where the general education examination is held, the local Ming people will also issue certificates in batches, and use the certificates as standard documents for management, registration, and wages.

Especially the link of entering the factory and going to the production line.

The factory management led by Hao Zhongyi integrated the technical training and general education of the factory.

All Ming people enter the factory and directly issue a general education examination certificate, and the mixed-race Yin and Yin people directly participate in a general education examination, and the general education certificate is also issued if they pass the examination.

Then, all the new workers follow the old workers to learn and master the skills used on the production line, and take another exam before officially working on the production line independently.

The Ming people who have already obtained the general education examination certificate only examine the production technology and basic knowledge this time.

Yin people, who have not obtained the general education certificate, carry out basic Daming general education while learning production skills, and examine the general education level and production skills at the same time in this examination.

Those who fail to pass the production skills are apprentices, and those who pass the production skills are contract workers, and those who pass both are regular workers.

Of course, there is a difference in the wages of the three types of workers.

The gap between apprentices and the first two is larger, and the gap between contract workers and regular workers is slightly smaller, but it is still enough to make people feel distressed and enough to drive contract workers to take the initiative to learn and progress to become regular workers.

After Zhu Jingyuan saw their plan, he directly approved their implementation in the textile factory and promoted it in other factories.

Hao Zhongyi and other textile factory management just planned a management plan.

Zhu Jingyuan, on the other hand, thought further.

Industrialization, the process of peasants moving from farmland to factories, and from peasants to workers, is itself a process of identity transformation.

In this process, the lifestyle of ordinary people will undergo unprecedented and dramatic changes.

Cities and factories are social melting pots, smelting people from different backgrounds into urban people.

This process is also a process of eliminating traditional ethnic cognitions and establishing a new unified social cognition.

Whether it is the Ming people, or the mixed descendants of the Ming and Yin people, or the naturalized Yin people, they will all become workers here.

Zhu Jingyuan chatted with Hao Zhongyi for a while, and the ceremony was about to officially begin.

The two came to the stage one after another, said a simple word, and then began to set off firecrackers to celebrate the official commissioning of the new workshop.

Zhu Jingyuan stood on the stage, his eyes skimmed over the faces of the craftsmen, workers, and management representatives below, and he successively found some people with a bit of Yin characteristics.

The Yin people have their own typical characteristics, but they are not much different from the Ming people, and they are more similar to the Ming people than the Nanyang people.

In the eyes of the Ming people of this world, they are just slightly darker-skinned, like mountain people from remote areas.

It is completely different from Tianzhu, Persia, and Da Hu people, and is more like a native "wild man" than them.

The traditional dynasties of Shenzhou, all dynasties and dynasties will try to drive these wild people out of the mountains.

Therefore, ordinary Ming people are not very resistant to absorbing this kind of "wild man".

What's more, the Ming people themselves here have also experienced great changes in their identities.

The change from peasants to workers covers the changes and differences between ethnic groups.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that as long as there was no accident, when the industrialization of Xintianfu was fully completed, it would be the time when the mixed-race Yin people, the naturalized Yin people and the Ming people were completely integrated.

After Zhu Jingyuan attended the ceremony, accompanied by the senior management headed by Hao Zhongyi, he inspected the new workshop.

This ceremony was originally to celebrate the official opening of the factory, so after the ceremony, the factory started production directly.

Zhu Jingyuan walked around the workshop, and finally returned to the palace with two boxes of new products and distributed them to the women in his harem.

Half a month later, Zhu Jingyuan went to attend the commissioning ceremony of the diesel engine factory.

Small and medium-sized diesel engine plants for agriculture, industry, construction machinery, engineering and vehicles were officially put into operation.

Xintianfu's agriculture and basic machinery have also completed local self-production at the same time.

Agricultural and industrial equipment, including tractors and trucks, is about to enter the stage of full capacity.

The process of agricultural mechanization centered on the new Tianfu City has also been promoted in tandem with the production of tractors and trucks.

The shift of the farm population to the factories is also proceeding at a steady pace.

…………

North of Xintianfu, on the shore of the oil lake.

Zheng Fuguang drove a high-end car designed by Zhu Jingyuan and drove north along the shore of the lake.

There is a lagoon outside the oil lake, and a bay outside the lagoon.

The three bodies of water resemble a balloon with three knots.

The inside of the oil lake is fresh water, the inside of the bay is of course saltwater, and the lagoon is brackish water.

Zheng Fuguang's car drove to the end of the exit of the oil lake, where it was supposed to enter the area of the lagoon.

The outlet of the oil lake should be widened here, and the shores on both sides should be turned to the sides, stretching.

But now, where the shore of the lake should turn, the road in front of the car continues to stretch forward, into the lagoon.

It was a 100-meter-wide embankment made of sand and gravel sucked out of the lake, and asphalt roads were laid on it.

Zheng Fuguang drove onto the asphalt road on the sand bar, drove a few kilometers along the top of the dam, and saw another sand bar a few kilometers away.

Two sand bars, from both sides of the outlet of the oil lake, continue to the interior of the lagoon and lead to the bay outside.

More than a year ago, according to the plan of Zhu Jingyuan and Lin Zexu, Zheng Fuguang asked for a group of prisoners of the Boliwa Kingdom captured in the northern part of Nanyinzhou, and built sand bars along both sides of the channel in the lagoon.

Today is the time for the two sand bars to be officially closed.

The lagoon between the oil lake and the sea is divided into three by these two sand bars.

In the middle is a long and narrow channel into the sea, flanked by a remnant lagoon that divides into two parts in the north.

The lagoon receives less than 400 millimetres of rainfall a year, making it a semi-arid region even on the Mongolian plateau.

What's more, the oil lake is located in the tropics, and the evaporation is much greater than that of the Mongolian plateau.

The overall evaporation of the lagoon is much higher than the amount of precipitation.

The water source for the lagoon is the fresh water of the oil lake and the salt water of the bay.

The lagoon is also a place where salt and fresh water are exchanged.

Now that the lagoon has its own access to the sea, the lagoon is completely cut off from the oil lake and the bay, and is expected to dry up quickly in the next few years and turn into sandy saline land.

What's more, there is no room for large-scale exchange between the fresh water of the oil lake and the salt water of the bay.

The two sides can only hedge in a relatively narrow channel.

The channel in which the lake flows into the sea becomes narrower, and the force of the outward erosion increases, which in turn prevents the water from backing up.

In the future, the salinity of the oil lake should gradually decline, eventually to the level of a true freshwater lake.

According to the plan, as the amount of water in the lagoon continues to decrease, the engineering team will gradually strengthen the sand bar, which is still relatively rudimentary.

At the same time, the depth of the channel into the sea has been dredged to about eight meters.

7,000-ton sea vessels can already enter directly, and 10,000-ton offshore and inland river vessels can go directly to Oil Lake City.

The city of Oil Lake is the city of Maracaibo, and when the Ming Dynasty first received it, it reduced the syllables and took the name of the city of Maracai.

Later, it may be because there are too many names with the prefix of the horse, or it may be because of the habits of the locals, and it is slowly called Oil Lake City.

The channel will continue to deepen, and the ideal goal is 16 meters, allowing 100,000-ton ocean-going tankers to reach Oil Lake City.

When Zheng Fuguang drove to the position where the sand bar was closed, the scene was already very lively.

The preparations for the event have been completed, and we are waiting for Zheng Fuguang, the director of the oil lake project, to announce it.

Zheng Fuguang parked in the temporary parking space set aside at the site and walked quickly to the lively construction site.

According to the process planned in advance, Zheng Fuguang personally picked up the shovel handed by the worker and threw a few shovels of sand into the middle of the sand bar that had been filled in and partitioned.

Then the real excavator and cutter suction boat immediately set in motion, smoothing out the last remaining gap.

Firecrackers rang out immediately.

Zheng Fuguang attended the ceremony and immediately drove back.

The oil fields at Oil Lake are also busy right now, and crude oil production is ramping up rapidly.

The oil lake is basically open to drilling wells, and it is not affected by the demand of local refineries in Daming.

The crude oil in the oil lake is basically consumed in Xintianfu and will not be sent to Daming for sale.

Crude oil is needed in Xintianfu's oil refinery, rayon textile mills, heavy oil power stations, asphalt road construction, and more.

It is foreseeable that these demands will continue to rise in the future, so the original production must also continue to increase.

Xintianfu has enough oil reserves of its own, and it is not cost-effective to transport crude oil from the Great Food Country.

There is no way to do it in coal, and we have to be as self-sufficient in oil as possible.

…………

Panama, in the middle of the canal site, on a dam that has been completely closed.

Zhu Dijin, the shopkeeper of Panama Huangzhuang, and Wang Jinpeng, the great engineer of the canal project, stood on the top of the dam and chatted.

In front of the dam is a hot construction site, with excavators and trucks coming and going, and trains running through the canyon.

Countless laborers were like ants, using shovels and carts to clear and transport earth and rock.

On the side of the dam are endless golden rice paddies, where groups of old people and children are harvesting rice.

Zhu Dijin looked at these pictures and said with great emotion and complacency:

"According to my calculations, after this season's rice is harvested, we will be able to achieve food self-sufficiency.

"In the future, there will be no need for Xintianfu to facilitate the delivery of food to our side.

"In another year, we will even be able to sell food to the outside world.

"It's a really good place, you can grow three crops of rice every year.

"The precipitation in the rainy season can meet the natural growth of two crops of rice, and in the dry season, it can be irrigated by reservoirs......"

Wang Jinpeng admires Zhu Dijin, whether it is project management ability, or the ability to save money and make money:

"Now the number of workers on the construction site, plus the farmers who farm the fields around us, has exceeded one million.

"Being able to maintain order and provide for the needs of these people is a huge credit to this management experience.

"Big shopkeeper, you have a bright future ahead of you."

Zhu Dijin also thought so in his heart, he really did this job well, and he would have a place in the sect in the future.

But be humble in words.

Zhu Dijin smiled and waved his hand and said:

"I'm just keeping logistics, and the actual project is all Wang Gong's business.

"Now the entire construction site is more than 80 kilometers, and the whole line has been excavated at the same time.

"If there is no accident in the follow-up, we can already give up the original plan of 'guarantee five' and directly 'fight for three'.

"I now look at it as if it should be completed in three years."

Wang Jinpeng nodded seriously when he listened:

"You can fight for three, but you can continue to protect five, but change the direction to ensure that the construction of the double-line canal is completed in five years.

"This million laborers are still working in a state of self-sufficiency, and it would be a waste to spend a few more years.

"It's just that I'm worried that after working for a long time, these laborers will be able to withstand it, and whether there will be chaos."

Judy Jin thinks about it a little:

"I think it's okay, I've learned about the condition of these workers.

"The vast majority of workers are actually quite satisfied with their current lives.

"They used to follow a few rebel leaders and were beaten around by the Ming troops.

"The vast majority of ordinary people and soldiers are full of hunger.

"Now they can at least eat enough and don't have to run around all day in fear.

"The amount of work we have arranged is not very high in their opinion.

"But people's hearts always have to be inched in, and this state should not be maintained for a long time."

Wang Jinpeng subconsciously asked:

"Then should we strive to complete the construction of the double-line canal in five years? Or will it take three years to let them go? ”

Judy Jin thought about it again for a while:

"I think it can be done, but we have to use some means to stimulate their enthusiasm for work and suppress the mentality of resistance to work.

"I think after two years of working like this, we should be able to try to start paying a small amount of wages.

"At the same time, you can set up an assessment system.

"Nominally, it was claimed that after they reached a certain target, they could stay and become nationals of the Great Ming Yinzhou vassal state.

"The basic salary, coupled with a future outlet, should be able to keep them working steadily for a few more years.

"But I have to ask His Royal Highness Prince Daishi for this.

"You can't ask right away, let's plan it well, and then ask for instructions after the whole basic plan."
