"Bell~"

"Bell~"

In the Jiangnan Shipyard, the blacksmith workshop was resounding with the sound of striking iron.

"Master, master, don't be busy yet, I have something for you to see!"

Because the noise in the workshop was too loud, Li Nan's greeting was not heard at all, and he was still busy working on the iron station without raising his head.

"My master, haven't you heard me yet?" Li Nan wanted to walk behind the other party to say hello, but he still didn't respond, so he had no choice but to go around to the front again.

Unfortunately, the sparks from the striking iron just splashed on his face, which not only frightened him, but also the master of striking the iron.

"Oops~"

"Oops~"

Two oops, in unison.

The master hurriedly put down the hammer under his hand, leaned over and said, "Xiao Li, are you okay?" ”

Li Nan covered his face with one hand, and waved his hand with the other: "Master, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”

Where can the master rest assured, after hearing this, not only did he not stay away, but brought his face closer: "My face is red, it's okay, I'll look at my eyes, listen to my uncle, hurry up with me and go to the faucet to flush, how can you, a person with fine skin and tender meat, suffer this sin." ”

It's okay not to say this, but after saying this, he immediately covered his eyes tighter, and his tone was almost sad: "Master master, I really can't see it, the iron filings have entered my eyes, it is estimated that the future students will not be able to see the light, and the daughter-in-law has not yet married, and the old Li family is still counting on me to inherit the ancestry, and now it's all over......"

As he spoke, as if he was really going to cry, he squatted down and whimpered.

The master originally thought that it was okay to come, and after so many years of striking iron, he had never seen any kind of scene.

I didn't expect to be old, and I couldn't guarantee the late season, and I suddenly panicked.

"Xiao Li, get up quickly, hurry up, believe uncle, it's definitely no big deal, hurry up and go with my uncle to see a doctor, if Chinese medicine doesn't work, let's go to see Western medicine, I can definitely look at my eyes, if something really happens, I'll ......"

Li Nan was curious: "Master, what do you want?" ”

"Alas!" The master sighed and said, "I also have a daughter under me, and it just so happens that the two of you really know each other, so if not, I will match the two of you." ”

Li Nan was really stunned at this time, he didn't expect the master to attach so much importance to this matter, and suddenly felt guilty in his heart, and quickly stood up from the ground and said: "Master, you don't have to be like this, the history of the words of the matchmaker of the parents' order has long passed, and now the emphasis is on free love." ”

The master's neck stiffened: "Don't meow this nonsense, can you hide the two of you from me?" Hurry up and see the doctor, it's still too late to go. ”

As he spoke, he was about to carry Li Nan in the direction of the infirmary.

Li Nanke couldn't hold it anymore, not only because his feelings were exposed, but even with this incident, he might be discovered, which really lost his wife and soldiers.

If you want to break free, how can this master strike iron all the year round, and he is full of tendon meat.

Holding Li Nan is like holding a chicken, it is easy and does not take much effort at all.

"Master, there's really no need to be so troublesome, I feel like I'm already out of sight, so I don't have to waste my efforts." Li Nan struggled to break free, groping around like a blind man: "Where is the bag I just came over?" Where is the bag? ”

"Here." The little worker next to him wanted to pick up the bag and hand it over, but was stopped by the master and handed it over by him.

"Well, no one has touched your bag." The master stuffed the bag back, with an inexplicable expression on his face: "Take it, you can go to the doctor with me this time, right?" ”

"Thank you, Master." Li Nan fumbled in his bag for a while, and took out two books: "Yesterday, a gentleman who I respected very much gave me two books, saying that I must go back and read them.

It's a pity that I was blind at a young age and no longer know the rest of the book...... Master, now I have one wish, that is, can you please help me read the following content, but it is my only hope, what daughter, compensation, I don't want it. ”

The more the master listened, the darker his face became, and he directly snatched the book from the back: "I want to see what is written on it to make you pay so much attention...... Hmph, don't even want my daughter? ”

Li Nan's face was suddenly suffocated, and he said in his heart that I was saying that it was smooth, but don't take it seriously.

However, after the master master got the two books, he was deeply attracted by the title alone.

“《*****》《***》？ We seem to have an interpreter in our office. ”

After taking a deep look at Li Nan, Master Fu was thoughtful, and then picked up "*****" and began to read:

"The history of all societies so far is the history of ****......"

At the beginning, the master's voice was relatively small, but in the later part of his own situation, the master was more and more touched, the voice became louder and louder, and unconsciously there were more and more onlookers, and finally even the scaffolding was full of people.

"That's a great thing, it really speaks the hearts of our workers."

"Yes, I kind of understand, why we work all day and night, it's hard to even eat a full stomach, it turns out that there are these vampires."

"This matter is not over, so I will go to the foreigner to settle the account, and the factory will eat meat, and we will even drink the northwest wind!"

"*work, this is going to *work......"

Just when the workers were in full swing, the master pulled Li Nan aside, holding two books and smiling:

"Okay, don't pretend, where did these two books come from?"

Li Nan pretended to be at a loss: "My eyes are really uncomfortable, I really can't see anything......"

Master Fu snorted coldly: "There is no one else, just the two of us, if you have anything to say, it's boring to hide it again, don't say I don't care about you when you turn around!" After playing eagle all my life, he was finally pecked blind by the eagle? ”

Seeing that he really couldn't hide it, Li Nan had no choice but to confess: "Master, it's not that I deliberately want to hide it from you, but this matter is really more important, and the prestige of the institute belongs to you, and I really can't think of anyone else except you." ”

The master looked at the two books in his arms, then looked at Li Nan, and said, "Something to do with these two books?" ”

Li Nan nodded, and shook his head again: "To be precise, it is related to all our workers, for the benefit of everyone, and for the better development of Jiangnan Shipyard in the future, we are ready to plan a resistance movement." ”

Speaking of which, this matter is basically Cheng Nuo's idea.

Taking advantage of the excellent window of time of the First World War, many factories in the country have developed tremendously, and with it, the ranks of workers have become stronger and stronger, but there are not many rights corresponding to them.

Taking what Cheng Nuo learned from Li Nan as an example, when Jiangnan Shipbuilding undertook the construction of American ocean-going ships, it adopted three systems for workers: point labor, contract labor, and apprenticeship.

The contract labor system is that the enterprise contracts a part of the work and type of work to the contract foreman, who recruits, organizes and supervises the workers to carry out production. At that time, contractors accounted for about 60% of the total number of workers.

Contractor workers are temporarily recruited by the contractor boss, and the wages are paid by the contractor boss, and the wages are very small under the layers of deductions.

There are two types of apprentices: "in-plant apprenticeship" and "off-site apprenticeship". The former is hired by the factory, and the latter is directly led by the contractor boss and the point foreman, and has nothing to do with the factory. The apprenticeship period is generally 3 years, but in fact, "3 years of learning, 3 years of help, and 1 year".

The so-called apprenticeship here is not much different from the "graduation internship" at the time of graduation in later generations, ostensibly for the good of the students, but in fact they are all oppressive apprentices (students), engaged in the same heavy labor as the workers during the day, and the wages are much lower than those of ordinary workers.

During this period, inspectors were dispatched to supervise the work of workers in various departments, and the examination section published a "foul punishment table" on a monthly basis, and dozens of workers were "deducted from wages" or "fired" almost every month.

At the same time, the implementation of the "clock card" method, that is, at the gate to set up a clock.

Workers must go to (down) work every day, must be under the supervision of the examiner, the work card into the clock seam, automatically on the card on the worker's (down) time, on time to write the blue letter, late arrival and early departure more than one minute, that is, a quarter of an hour deduction of wages.

However, since the foreigners occupied the main force in the situation of squeezing the workers, whether it was for the sake of the interests of the workers or for the control of the shipyard, either aspect was enough to support Cheng Nuo to launch this resistance.

As for those two books, it's easy to understand.

In the process of going to Europe a while ago, I asked those international students to help translate.

Now, combined with the version seen by later generations, Cheng Nuo has obtained the most complete Chinese version of this era, which fully meets the standards of Xindaya, and this is an important reason for the success of mobilizing the mood of workers.

Seeing that the master was very moved, Li Nan said angrily: "Master, more than 1,000 female comrades in Shanghai Nishang Yarn Factory have launched a big * labor action in order to improve their salary, despite the suppression by the police station, these comrades are still gritting their teeth and insisting, we big men have no reason to stand behind the female comrades!" ”

Master Fu hesitated: "I'll think about ...... again"

"Don't think about it anymore, master." Li Nan took the initiative to stand in front of the master, with a sincere face: "On gender, we shipbuilding is dominated by men, in terms of numbers, we have more than 2,000 shipbuilders, and in terms of history, I went on strike the year before last, and I also won the victory, why am I so hesitant this time?!"

Don't you want to make everyone's life better, every sentence in the book is heartfelt, we can't just read it and forget it......"

Gritting his teeth, the master said decisively: "Okay, just do it, I have long seen that these foreigners are unhappy, what kind of things are they all a group of, get some technology to hide, and in the end it is not all handed over to us to do, go, let's go to the big guy to discuss......"

……

Outside the Jiangnan Shipyard, Cheng Nuo is actively planning.

On the one hand, it is to put the legends of these two books out as soon as possible, sprinkle the fire in advance, and accumulate strength for the future.

Although Mr. Wang's ideas have already been transmitted, the speed of dissemination is relatively slow, and the theoretical content is relatively fragmented, and it is limited to a brief introduction in the journal of young education.

In the treatises and articles of intellectuals of different factions, they are presented in the form of fragments and viewpoints, but most of them only briefly introduce a certain aspect or some fragments of Mr. Wang, and the practical significance is not great.

Cheng Nuo's approach is to move from fragment transmission to aggregate transmission, and from local transmission to overall transmission.

Of course, everything was made under a pseudonym, sent to Mr. Li in Beijing, and then sent out by his hand.

On the other hand, Cheng Nuo decided to unite with the Chinese workers he brought back from Europe to improve the shipbuilding technology in advance, and decided to imitate the shipbuilders in the United States during World War II, which can not only speed up the construction speed of ships by one-third, but also reduce the construction cost by one-quarter, and even only take four days to successfully launch the ship.

At that time, the German Navy sank Allied ships faster than the Allied ships produced, and the sea battlefield was one-sided. But in the blink of an eye, things took a turn for the better, and the production rate of ships in American shipyards exceeded the speed of sunken ships, and more than 5,000 ships were built in five years.

The aspect is to organize the production line according to the similarity of ship area and type of operation.

When it comes to Cheng Nuo, you don't have to copy it completely, and you don't have the ability to copy it all, but you can copy the cat and the tiger, which is also ahead of Morgan's British craftsmanship.

"Iron hammer, you remember for me, let's organize production by region, shell, outfitting, and coating operations are separated in space and orderly in time, so as to ensure the integration of design, production, and management, and balance and continuous assembly and shipbuilding, do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Tiezhu followed behind Cheng Nuo, holding a small notebook in his left hand and a pencil in his right hand, making quick notes in the notebook.

However, things are memorized, and everyone knows so many words, but when they are combined in a sentence, they can't understand anything.

With a bitter face, Wang Tiezhu's face was full of frustration: "Dean, why don't you tell me directly what I want to do, I will not only say nothing, but also promise to make it beautiful for you." ”

Cheng Nuo turned his head and smiled: "What about this new process?" ”

Wang Tiehammer swallowed: "I really can't understand this, my brain juice is almost used up, but I just can't understand it, it's all because I'm too stupid, I can't teach it." ”

"I can understand your thoughts, but the new process is related to whether Morgan can be removed from the position, and if the factory succeeds, it will be up to our countrymen, but if it fails, it will go to the foreigners." Cheng Nuo smiled, patted his subordinates on the shoulder and comforted: "But this matter is all handed over to you, and it is indeed difficult for strong people." ”

Hearing this, Wang Tiehammer breathed a sigh of relief: "I only managed one workshop in France before, and now I am directly responsible for the whole process, and I really mess up the courtyard, but I dare to make a military order, as long as I give me time, I will definitely be able to thoroughly understand the technology, which is ...... now."

Cheng Nuo smiled: "So now let's work together, explore while doing, and learn and innovate incrementally."

Taking painting as an example, the area and stage of painting are strictly defined in the design stage, that is, raw material coating, component coating, sectional coating and shipboard coating, so that painting becomes a process that runs through all manufacturing levels, so as to improve the quality of coating and eliminate the mutual interference of different types of work......"
