Chapter 129: Be careful

Quite a serious accident.

The craftsman who operated the hydraulic lathe found that an axle rod had a tendency to break and tried to repair it, but unexpectedly, the base of the lathe itself was also impliedly loose, causing the entire workshop to collapse towards the Yongjiang River during the repair process.

Hydraulic lathes are the result of several redesigns.

Among them, the biggest change is that the water wheel in contact with the river surface has greatly increased in size, and the diameter of the entire water wheel has reached five zhang, which is equivalent to the height of a later five-story building.

This is mainly due to the fact that the water flow of the Yongjiang River is not fast enough.

At the beginning, he also considered bunching water, but with the width of the Yongjiang River, the amount of work was too large, and it might also affect the river transportation, so it was vetoed by Zhu Yuan.

Increasing the diameter of the wheel ensures that even if the water flow is slow and the thrust is not large enough, the turning speed of the tool to the end will be fast enough.

Or leverage.

It's very simple to know a lot of physics.

You can imagine what kind of movement will be caused by the collapse of the five-story building and the pedestal.

To make matters worse, there were still ships anchored on the river at that time.

In order to facilitate the traffic on the north and south banks, there is more than one pontoon bridge on the Yongjiang River, the kind spread out with boats and wooden planks, and the upstream one is in the southeast of the shipyard outside Xicheng. The pontoon bridge is connected most of the time and is open for an hour every afternoon for boats to pass through, so there are boats waiting to be moored at any time near the upstream and downstream.

According to the rules, ordinary civilian ships are not allowed to approach the side of the factory on the north shore, especially after Zhu Yuan's assassination, the rules are even stricter, but this time it happened to be a group of public ships transporting stones from Yinghaisi's own house, and they were lining up to unload the goods from the factory.

Originally, it was not close to the water wheel, after all, it was also an accident.

The problem was that the ship was so big that the end of the ship, along with the workshop itself, fell into the stern of a stone ship when it fell towards the river, and the force of the collapse was so great that it shattered with one blow.

When Zhu Yuan arrived, everything that could be saved had already been saved.

Not to mention the injuries, there are six deaths, and three people are still not found after falling into the water, and there is a high probability that they will not survive.

Zhu Yuan watched the scene of the collapse of the workshop from a distance under the obstruction of the people around him, ignored Yao Feng's opposition, and directly demanded that all kinds of hydraulic workshops along the river be stopped for maintenance, and called craftsmen to review the cause of the accident.

At the end of the day, it's one thing: durability.

Zhu Yuan already intends to gradually promote the term as a professional term and form a concept in order to set standards and promote technological progress.

That's an afterword.

At present, in fact, the entire Yinghai Division, such as the most fundamental and most widely used sea vessels, is facing this problem.

Let's just talk about grain ships.

In this era, ships were used to transport grain with high intensity, and a batch of them had to be scrapped in three or five years, compared with the iron ships that could be used for thirty or fifty years of tinkering in later generations, they were completely two durable concepts. However, in the short term, it is also unrealistic to build iron ships.

This is an issue that cannot be taken seriously.

There is another ship that Zhu Yuan proposed to build with higher operational efficiency, and the reason why similar ships appeared early but failed to be popularized is also because the mechanical structure of wooden materials is too poor in durability, far inferior to relatively simple wooden oars and sails.

The same is true of these water-powered workshops on the banks of the Yongjiang River, whether they are lathes or saw tables.

Because of the use of bearings, reduce the friction loss in the process of kinetic energy transmission, and greatly improve the efficiency of the use of water power in various workshops, but because most of the components of the corresponding workshops are also wooden, even if the base is not too solid stone masonry, it is inevitable that problems will occur after a long time.

Therefore, as a result of Zhu Yuan's reflection, if he wants to change this situation, he needs a fundamental change from materials to technology.

In the short term, it's still unrealistic.

At the moment, Zhu Yuan can only ask the person in charge of each workshop to inspect and repair diligently, and must not ignore safety risks in order to rush the work.

When this kind of thing happened when he was about to leave, Zhu Yuan was in a difficult mood, and after the review meeting, he personally told him to compensate the victims for the aftermath, look at the time, and he couldn't do too much when he went back, so he continued to walk around the factories.

Shipyards, repair factories, bearing workshops, canvas workshops, garment workshops, etc.

It can be said that outside the west city of Dinghai, the north bank of the Yongjiang River is already equivalent to a small industrial area. Zhu Yuan actually considered this matter and planned the entire Dinghai into a large industrial zone. However, this concept is too advanced and is only silently advanced for the time being.

And, counting the fish baking workshops, brick factories, and so on on the south coast, although it is not explicitly stated, to a large extent, the industrial zone is already a fact.

In the final analysis, back in this era, Zhu Yuan has upheld a relatively conservative state in many things.

Because I'm afraid that the steps will be too big.

is also because, even if he greeted Lao Zhu before coming to Mingzhou, he was still worried that too many deviances would attract criticism, and even affect Lao Zhu's own perception of himself.

Another reason is that the coming days are long.

There's still a lot of time.

Even, to the extreme, even if he is gone, after all, this body is too weak, but he has instilled enough ideas into Lao Zhu, and believes that with Lao Zhu's strong execution, even if some situations happen, many things will still be gradually pushed forward.

Go a little deeper.

Reform is never an easy task.

For thousands of years, the difficulty of success in reform has always been much greater than that of revolution.

Care must be taken.

Zhu Yuan doesn't want to be a merchant at all.

By the time I returned to the city, it was already dark.

Outside the sedan chair are guards on the three floors of the fire lantern, but the inside of the sedan chair is very quiet.

A certain sack followed as usual, kneeling at Zhu Yuan's feet, holding a small glass lantern in his hand, only a candle, but it could illuminate the sedan chair very brightly.

Zhu Yuan was looking through a shipyard's apprenticeship recruitment plan, which was also recently proposed.

For the simple reason that artisans, especially professional and skilled craftsmen, are increasingly insufficient, and apprentices must be recruited in large quantities.

The plan drawn up by Yao Feng, combined with the many opinions given by Zhu Yuan, is almost finalized at the moment.

Roughly speaking, next, the craftsmen of each process of the shipbuilding plant must first conduct a grade evaluation, which is of course proposed by Zhu Yuan. Depending on the grade, the remuneration package will be adjusted to a certain extent. In addition, the official will arrange for craftsmen who have reached a certain level to lead apprentices.

Similarly, according to different levels or different types of work, each person brings three to five apprentices, and requires a maximum of three years to be a teacher.

This is also taking into account the common self-cherishing of brooms among craftsmen today.

At most three years, if the apprentice's assessment is still unqualified, the craftsman himself will be demoted, on the contrary, if enough good enough apprentices are brought out, the level will also be improved.

In addition, talent training will also be linked to the Mingzhou Maritime Academy.

Literacy is a very important indicator.

Next, even the best shipbuilders, if illiterate, will have compulsory literacy classes.

If the craftsman can go one step further and learn to draw, it will be a qualification.

These will be closely related to the rating and treatment of the craftsman himself.

At the end of the day, it's the same sentence, scale matters. In order to achieve industrialization, the number of professionals of various types is also a necessary precondition.

After reading this document, Zhu Yuan took the pen that was naturally handed over by the sack, and annotated it on the document pad, and then closed the manuscript. Looking at the eyes again, under the bright reflection light, the girl at her feet still has white skin and bright eyes.

It seems like initially.

However, I can't go back to the beginning.

This Nizi was originally shorter than Zhu Yuan, but it may be because girls do develop faster than boys, and it has only been more than half a year, and she is already taller than herself.

Reaching out and touching the girl's head, Zhu Yuan asked with a smile: "Are you going back, are you looking forward to it?" ”

Lin Xiaoyu kept holding the lantern and nodded slightly.

The corners of his mouth are still slightly hooked.

According to Sister Liubai's statement, the little official will be able to rest after returning to Jinling.

This Dinghai is too tiring.

The petty officials are so good, why are they so tired?

Watching like this all the time on weekdays, the sack girl is also very distressed.

When I got home, I waited at the door of the house again.

Zhu Yuan had no appetite for a while, took a shower first, returned to the main house, and almost fell asleep directly.

There is no duck neck.

At noon, I just had a hasty lunch at the shipyard, and I forgot about the morning.

I filled my stomach and felt a little more energetic, but I still insisted on completing today's log.

Again, it was changed to oral.

In addition, there is a large number of thoughts in the morning because of a little duck pulling poop, and they also leaned on the bed to dictate, so that they could organize it into a document, since they will send it to Lao Zhu tomorrow, today's things, try to finish it.

It was He Xuan who came to urge, only to find that it was late at night before I knew it, and finally stopped.

I woke up a little late the next day.

The eighth day of the ninth month.

Tomorrow Chongyang.

There is no such thing as ascending to the heights and writing poems, and the various activities of this era are really not fun, so I remember a poem and stay until September 8 in autumn.

Well.

It is said that Lao Zhu also wrote a poem, and the level is far worse than that of Huang Chao.

However, Huang Chao is a loser, Lao Zhu is a success, such a comparison, Xiucai's rebellion really failed, not to mention, he is still a fallen Xiucai.

Eating breakfast, Freehand talked about some preparations for leaving.

Mainly, yesterday I had already arranged to clean up the 5,000-material ship that Zhu Yuan was on when he came.

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuan was going to refuse, but he thought about it or gave up.

When we return to Jinling, we will send the sea ship back to Mingzhou.

Because there are already arrangements.

During the summer flood, he sent the sea boat out to sea, and just by fishing, he harvested more than 8,000 quintals of fish, which was much higher than the 5,000 quintals target given by Zhu Yuan, which made the people around him feel that it was already very high.

Zhu Yuan felt that this was the correct use of this sea vessel.

In the next winter flood of hairtail fish, sea fishing will also be very important.

This is the result of Yinghai Division's recent summary of the current experience of various hairtail fishing.

To put it simply, during the flood season, the deeper the water, the larger the size of the hairtail, and conversely, the size of the hairtail in shallow water is generally small.

Zhu Yuan pondered the truth, may it be related to plankton?

I don't understand it for the time being.

In any case, if you want to catch as large ribbon fish as adult as possible, on the one hand, you need to improve your fishing net to make sure that it can go into deep water. On the other hand, there is sea fishing, which is easier to control. Moreover, it has been tested during the summer flood, and the fishing efficiency of sea fishing is not low.

Then there is the 5,000-material sea boat, which can not only serve as a flagship of the sea fishing fleet, but also carry more manpower equipment for sea fishing.

When I think about going back for a while, I don't think about it anymore.

Tired.

Anyway, there are freehand them, and they don't have to clean up too properly anyway, even if they pull down something, when they arrive in Jinling, it's just a sentence.

It is still necessary to arrange the things that need to be arranged quickly.

After breakfast, there was another meeting for the first time, this time it was only the main person in charge of Zhu Yuan and Liu Lian's several battalions.

Zhu Yuan had considered the personnel arrangements after he left, and the premise of his idea at that time was that he would step down as the battalion envoy, although he also expected it in his heart that Lao Zhu would probably let him continue to serve in this position.

Now, since it has been decided that I will work part-time, my initial idea needs to be adjusted.

Actually, it's been weighing.

Or because of his impeachment, Zhu Yuan's reflection is that he considered the personnel arrangements of the Yinghai Division, which was somewhat arrogant, which should be Lao Zhu's business.

Lao Zhu still handed it over to him.

However, Zhu Yuan didn't plan to do anything like before, and as a result, Liu Lian, Yao Feng and Fang Li all stayed here for the time being.

Liu Lian had to coordinate the household registration of fishermen and other relevant people in various prefectures and counties in eastern Zhejiang, and coordinate migration matters.

After confirming the naturalization of the Yinghai Division, Zhu Yuan hoped that the relevant personnel in eastern Zhejiang would gather more in Mingzhou, so that the Yinghai Division could carry out fishery production more conveniently.

Around the Zhoushan fishing grounds, in addition to Dinghai, Zhoushan, Daishan and other islands in the open sea, residential communities and various factories will also be built in the future.

Again, this is to start production close to home.

In addition to the personnel share, Liu Lian will also take care of the finances of the entire Yinghai Division, and even some internal supervision work. This is no longer limited to eastern Zhejiang, but also Fujian and Guangzhou, and even Shandong in the north.

In short, the money, grain and accounts of the entire Yinghai Division will be handled by Liu Lian.

Zhu Yuan is absolutely at ease with Liu Lian in this regard.

In this way, at least in the short term, Liu Lian is obviously inseparable.

Not to mention what Yao Feng had to do, all the engineering affairs in Dinghai, including the navy, needed him to coordinate.

Finally, there is Fang Li.

In the next winter flood sea fishing, Fang Li will be the main person in charge, just like Xia Xun.

After the winter flood, there was the spring flood, and then the summer flood.

Well......

Endless.

However, compared to Liu Lian and Yao Feng, when the manpower of the Ying Hai Division was gradually cultivated, it was relatively easiest for Zhu Yuan to transfer Fang Li.

After the affairs of the Yinghai Division are explained, there are also Yinghaiwei and even the Navy Governor's Mansion.

So he went back and forth to meet with the responsible persons of all parties.

When he first arrived, Zhu Yuan had a lot of ideas about building the Ming Navy, but in fact, in recent years, the Ming Navy basically only needed to do one thing, transporting food.

Everything else has to be on the sidelines.

The corresponding idea cannot be implemented for the time being, but it cannot be delayed forever.

It should be done or it should be done.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhu Yuan only proposed one for the time being, and gradually formulated a set of naval long-range combat methods that the current conditions allowed, which was simply to kill the other party as much as possible before engaging the enemy.

In the early days of water warfare, it was usually a gang jumper.

Today, it is possible to strike remotely, whether it is a new type of firearm that is rapidly evolving, or a bed crossbow or trebuchet that is constantly improving.

Zhu Yuan hopes that the navy will perfect this.

As for the shortcomings, for example, the current gunpowder production is far from enough, and if you want to solve it, on the one hand, it is the supplement of traditional weapons, and on the other hand, when you return to Jinling, Zhu Yuan will also pay attention to this matter personally.

Outside of the two major yamen, it is the last to be taken away.

The minting craftsmen sent by Lao Zhu before, the equipment bureau team of Tai Hospital, and of course the glass manufacturing team, etc., all need to be packed and brought back.

Staying here, Zhu Yuan is not at ease.

It was so busy that in the blink of an eye, another day passed.
