"Congratulations to Childe!"

"Congratulations Childe."

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations President."

"It's so strong, I didn't think the bricks would need to be burned. Congratulations to the host. ”

"Now I don't have to worry about running out of bricks. Many brick houses can be built in the future. ”

"It's nothing if you don't have to burn it, it's still hard, it's hard, it's good."

"It's good to be hard, but the key is not to use any capital."

Everyone saw that the cement bricks were so powerful, and they congratulated Wei Bao.

Wei Bao is now called a bit messy, and most people call him Gongzi. However, there are also a small number of people who are called the owner, or the president and other modern titles, which are all prefixes that Wei Bao sometimes adds in front of his signature, so some of the officially established people, stewards, and deputy stewards within the Tiandi firm will be called so.

Wei Bao didn't like the title of boss and shopkeeper, and thought it was tacky. I like to hear others call him president, but most people are not used to this title.

Wei Bao was very satisfied, he didn't expect it to be so simple, and secretly regretted that he was still a little late, he should have started making cement before he went to Beijing to do business, it's not difficult. If I had mastered the cement manufacturing technology earlier, I wouldn't have been so rushed now.

"Hurry up and tell Luo San to be stunned and ask him to transfer 1,000 people to the cement factory! Putting the rest of the matter aside, we must let the production of cement bricks keep up with the progress of the construction of the city wall. Wei Bao commanded excitedly.

Lin Wenbiao agreed, and hurriedly asked one of his subordinates to inform Luo San of the stunned steward.

"Not only does it not cost anything, but when the steam engine comes out, it can also save labor, and the cost will be further reduced!" Wei Bao said to Zhou Shimaon: "The mixing technology must be kept strictly confidential!" ”

Zhou Stonemason knew what was at stake, and said with a solemn face: "Don't worry, my old man has to be appreciated by his son, so that his life is now, and if he loses his life, he will not let the technology leak a little." ”

Wei Bao was relieved that he attached great importance to the confidentiality of technology.

The problem of steam engine seals alone is not difficult for modern times, but before the advent of industrial steam engines used for mass production, in the process of putting them into formal production, it has hindered the historical process for hundreds of years, more than a century!

This is the power of knowledge, and if you can't overcome any difficulty, you can't be considered to have mastered technology.

Therefore, although there are many workers under Wei Bao, it is not difficult to know the raw materials, but it is difficult to know how to obtain these raw materials through chemical reactions.

"Now it's almost a replica steam engine!" Wei Bao said to the blacksmith Wang and the other craftsmen: "Now it's up to you to see your skills!" Make a steam engine, so that the cement plant can be officially put on the track, with the steam engine blowing, drying, pressurization, a day production of 10,000 catties, is not a problem. ”

Hearing Wei Gongzi say this, Wang Blacksmith and other craftsmen felt a lot of pressure! But I still said yes.

"When Steward Luo transfers people, you will make it to the maximum! Fight for it these days! Wei Bao said to Zhou stonemason again.

"Don't worry, Childe, if you have Childe, everyone will have to do it with all their lives." Zhou Mason estimated: "If there are 1,000 people working, 20,000 bricks can be produced in two hours." ”

Wei Bao nodded and said: "You don't need to count it so big, people still have to rest, you can produce 80,000 bricks a day, I will count you to exceed the task!" ”

"Don't worry, Childe, we will do our best." Zhou stonemason confidently assured.

Wei Bao said a few words of encouragement to everyone, then turned to Song Yingxing and said, "Mr. Song, I have to work hard for you from now on, and I will work with the blacksmiths to figure out how to imitate the steam engine." ”

Song Yingxing smiled bitterly, he was a good person, and he didn't know how to do it, he became Wei Gongzi's secretary in a daze, became Wei Gongzi's Mr. Xixi, and became Wei Gongzi's deputy chief steward in a daze, and now he has to imitate a big machine that he has never heard of, he doesn't know if he can do it.

"Childe, I've never been a blacksmith, I've just come into contact with these masters." Song Yingxing said.

"You can do it!" Wei Bao smiled and patted Song Yingxing's arm.

"Do you need to build two more brick kilns with blast furnaces? Or do you want to stop for a while? Zhou asked the stonemason.

Wei Bao thought for a while, and looked at Luo San beside him, who was stunned: "Is there enough manpower?" ”

"Where's enough? Childe has to hire people everywhere. Luo San was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Now there is no one who is idle, only more than 300 people are left to cut wood, and the remaining 2,700 people are used." ”

Wei Bao said: "To build!" We need to add a blast furnace! "He wants to make glass, as for what the other one will do, he hasn't thought about it yet, but he knows that it will definitely be used, and the industry will use blast furnaces everywhere, and he is not afraid of too much.

"Each place is farther away, and the scale of industry will expand in the future, and it will definitely not be crowded together." Wei Bao said: "And this kind of cement brick is more suitable for large-scale projects, public works, not very suitable for the construction of private houses, in the future will definitely build a large number of houses, there are many places to use red bricks, with the steam engine, the output and quality of red bricks will also be greatly improved, and can greatly reduce costs, maybe it can also become our commodity." ”

Luo San was stunned and Zhou Shimason nodded when they heard Wei Gongzi say this.

"Childe, such a big, heavy brick, if you just rely on a small cart to push it, you can't push a few pieces in one trip, and this road is too difficult to walk." Luo San was stunned and reminded.

Wei Bao snorted, he had long wanted to deal with the problem of the road, but the time was too tight, and they were all crowded together. However, now that there is a qualified cement process, the materials are not a problem, and the road should be planned first! "Okay, bidding, like bidding to build the city wall, recruit 5 small businesses, each with about 50 people, from Benjia, to the mining area, the industrial zone, to the city wall, ring road, divided into five sections."

"Is it just a dirt road?" Luo San asked stunned.

"What is the use of a concrete road, a dirt road? to build up and create permanence. Wei Bao said: "You get the bidding first, and I will personally implement it after dinner, and carefully talk about the construction standards." ”

"Holo." Luo San was stunned and agreed, knowing in his heart.

Wei Bao said a few more words to the group of craftsmen, and then left in a hurry.

After a busy day, after knowing that the cement bricks were successful, what Wei Bao wants most now is to rest.

Wei Bao knows that imitation steam engine is not a simple process, it is a technology that spans 200 years!

It was now 1624, and although in the early 1700s of the 18th century, there were already steam engines, but the process was not mature and was not used for industrial production, and it was not until the 1800 19th century that it gradually became the protagonist and opened the curtain of industry.

He has the most difficult sealing rings, there are many of them on warships, and as for the need for thousands of steam engines to expand production in the future, he is not afraid, because he knows that the sealing rings are developed by rubber.

Knowing what is made of it is at least a hundred years of inquiry. When there is a chance to find rubber, it can immediately enter the research and development process, and there is also a lot of information about rubber and plastics in the materials of the three 'Crossing Giant Enthusiasm' brothers.

Industrial raw materials can be divided into two categories: raw materials and materials according to their different processing degrees.

Industrial raw materials come from some industrial enterprises and agricultural production.

The former mainly includes products directly produced by the extractive industry, such as raw coal, crude oil, logs, various metal and non-metal ores; products produced and processed by extractive industries, such as rubber, pig iron, steel, cement, coal and petroleum products; Synthetic materials, such as synthetic fibers, synthetic plastics, etc.

These raw materials are generally unaffected or less affected by natural conditions and are increasingly produced by chemical synthesis methods.

The latter mainly includes plant or animal products produced by agriculture, such as cereals, raw cotton, sugarcane, livestock, fish, dairy, etc.; Products produced and processed by agriculture, such as flour, leather, etc. The ratio of these two types of raw materials can indirectly reflect the level of industrial development.

With the development of productive forces, the proportion of raw materials produced by industry in the total raw materials will exceed that of raw materials produced by agricultural production, and there is a tendency to further increase.

Vigorously developing raw materials for industrial production is the main direction for solving the problem of raw materials, which is mainly used for the production of means of production, daily necessities and clothing articles, and cannot replace the raw materials required by agricultural production in food, textile, papermaking and other industries.

What Wei Bao has to do is to get out the most basic and easiest things to develop first, and do a good job in the trading platform, turn it into silver, gold, and human resources as soon as possible, and further accumulate strength.

"It's been a busy afternoon." Wei Bao was a little tired, "It seems that he has done a lot of things, and he seems to have done nothing." ”

"Haven't done it yet? Didn't you get all the cement bricks out? Wang Qiuya said: "Xiaobao, didn't you see how much those craftsmen admired you just now?" Many people whispered that Gongzi was Wenqu Xing who went down to earth to make such good bricks, if the Ming Dynasty used this kind of brick to build the city wall, the speed would be at least ten times faster, and those big stone bricks had to be polished out, and many people had to carry a piece and transport it to the construction site, how much effort would it take to build a brick? ”

Wei Bao was very happy when he heard Wang Qiuya say this, and nodded: "Of course, what age is it?" The bricks that are still ground out of stone are not good. ”

Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui sneered when they heard this, Wei Bao always likes to talk about the era, and they don't understand what the problems are in this era?

When Wei Bao returned to his house, the maid reported that he would go to Wei's father and Wei's mother's house to eat.

Wei Bao frowned, knowing that going to the big room was drinking again, "No, I won't go." ”

"If you go back to your son, Mrs. said that you must go and celebrate today's well water." The maid looked at Wei Bao pitifully.

Wei Bao's heart softened, and he didn't want to embarrass the maid, so he had to turn back to Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya and say, "Let's go." ”

Wang Qiuya said with a smile: "If you want to rest early, let's come back early." ”

"I actually just want to eat casually, then take a break, and then preside over the bidding later." Wei Bao replied.

"Is it harder to build a road than to dig a foundation?" Wang Qiuya saw that Wei Bao seemed to be very cautious, and it seemed that her mood was not very good.

"Pretty much." Wei Bao said this and stopped talking. It's not that he's tired, but he's a little tired, and as time goes by, a group of Jiachang and Li Zheng are looking for people from the Liaodong Jingluo Mansion to 'get' him, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger.

Wei Bao actually knows very well that he can't do much in a few days. Not to mention that if you want to build a one-meter-high city wall, even the foundation will not be finished. Because he was going to build a solid wall that was 8 meters high, and the foundation had to be at least one meter deep. This is still because the soil in western Liaoning is hard and solid, otherwise it would have to be fought deeper.

He wanted to take it one step at a time, try not to think about the pressure, but it was very difficult to do.

Wei Dakang and the others were very happy when they saw Wei Bao coming, and pulled him to sit down.

"Xiaobao, don't be too busy every day, if there is anything, let the people below do it." Wei Dakang smiled and persuaded.

Wei Bao squeezed out a smile, he is a person who is under pressure to keep it in his heart, and he doesn't like to let his family know, and he doesn't want to talk about the affairs of Liaodong Jingluo Mansion. If Wei Bao doesn't say it, Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui won't say it to others.

Fan Xiaolin saw that Wei Bao was a little tired, so she said, "Do you want to drink?" Or do you eat first? ”

"Eat whatever you want, I'm going to take a break in a hurry, there's a lot to do later." Wei Bao Road.

"What's going on at night?" Veda Kangdao.

Huang Ying also said distressedly: "Don't be tired, you have to be busy studying, and you have to take care of so many things, let go if you can, how much money is a head?" ”

Burst.

If it had been left in the past, Fan Lao Pimple, Wang Zhihui and others would definitely laugh out loud when they heard Huang Ying say this, and now they know that Wei Bao has a net worth of at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, and everyone just has a feeling that a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry.

In fact, now Fan Lao's pimple family and Wang Zhihui's family are also middle-class, Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin give the family ten taels of silver every month, and ten taels of silver in the township is a good house.

"It's good to be busy for the next few days." Wei Bao said and took the rice bowl that Fan Xiaolin helped him bring.

Everyone didn't dare to persuade him to drink, Wei Dakang, Fan Lao Pimple, and Wang Zhihui didn't care about him, and several men drank in the dark, with loud voices and fists, and they could hear it for half a mile, so unhappy.

After eating something in three or two, Wei Bao left the hall, and he recognized the bed, unless he was forced to go out, or he had to sleep in his own bed to fall asleep. I used to take a lunch break at noon every day, but I was too busy today, so I delayed it until the afternoon lunch break.

Fan Xiaolin originally wanted to play for a while before leaving, but when she saw Wei Bao leaving, she hurriedly followed.

There are many people in the Wei family every day now, Fan Lao Pimple and Wang Zhihui are frequent visitors, and the people who have a good relationship with Wei Dakang and Huang Ying will also come to eat and drink, and there are a group of maids.

When passing by the kitchen, Wei Bao saw a few people busy, so he stopped and looked at it for a while.

Several women and two cooks were busy, and the woman in charge had a good relationship with Huang Ying, called Aunt Lan. After Xu Rui was transferred to Wei Bao's side, Aunt Lan is now Wei Dakang and Huang Ying's steward's servant.

Although he is a servant, his power and status are not small, and now a huge system has been formed under Wei Bao, which belongs to the county-level unit!

How many levels there are in a modern county, there are as many grades as there are in Weibao here, only a lot more.

"Work well, everything must be clean, if the old lady and the young master find a little dirty, don't blame me for not being emotional." Aunt Lan crossed her waist coldly and said.

A group of people agreed.

Wei Bao watched everyone work for a while, and found that in addition to a person in charge, the servants also had ranks, and the girls in Benjia were of a higher level than those outside, they did easy work, and they didn't even have to do anything, just serve the dishes, and the heavy work was done by people from outside the customs.

The two cooks are both masters from the capital, but it seems that the level is lower than that of the maids outside the Guanwai, and they have to wash and cut vegetables, dispose of garbage, carry water, boil water, chop wood, and cook.

"Make sure you have hot tea and hot water to drink all the time of the day. The old lady and the son must prepare water immediately when they drink it. As Aunt Lan spoke, she suddenly saw Wei Bao, hurriedly put on a smiling face, and said respectfully: "Childe." ”

Wei Bao hummed, left Wei Dakang and Huang Ying's house, and walked towards his house.

He only recruited one-tenth of the people with a certain performance into the official establishment of the Heaven and Earth Firm, and selected a few stewards and deputy stewards among these people, this is the level that Wei Bao obtained, but in fact, there are not many levels. But he suddenly found that in addition to his rank, many levels were naturally formed layer by layer, which was no different from the entire Ming society outside.

More than 100 people in Benjia have now received food and clothing, and they are all 'cows', and they all seem to have a feeling of being on top, which Wei Bao did not expect.

The whole world is a feudal society, and it seems difficult to carve out a piece of territory and build a capitalist society. Wei Bao secretly thought that the power of the feudal system, the power of people's habitual thinking is indeed too strong, and many things are not something that he can change the social structure by taking it for granted by making a capitalist "Book of Law", making it into the form of a private company, and getting a bunch of privately contracted small businesses out.

The social structure exists not only in the means of production and private ownership of production, but also in human nature and the human heart.

Fan Xiaolin seemed to see Wei Bao's thoughts, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Do you think Aunt Lan is too fierce to people? ”

Wei Bao didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say, as if the hierarchy under the capitalist system should be like this, right?

He suddenly missed his old life, although he lived at the bottom of society, after all, he had never been so directly oppressed.

It is estimated that what he saw just now was only the tip of the iceberg, and Aunt Lan, who had a certain amount of power, might be ten times more fierce than what he saw.

Once the originally poor people have taken the position of the ruling class, they will only be more ferocious than the original ruling class.

It seems that he can only completely seal it in the four miles, and after being isolated from the outside world, he can slowly change this situation, but he really doesn't know how to change it.

Wei Bao suddenly couldn't tell whether he was monopolizing capitalism or slavery, feeling extremely poor, the workers who had nothing, the proletarians, and even the slaves had no power, and the status was lower than the original tenants.

Originally, Wei Bao still felt that his 'system' was quite like a thing, quite advanced, but now this feeling has suddenly faded a lot.

At present, his subordinate system is very strong, but it is not the result of the system, but because he has become rich all of a sudden! It's powerful! It has nothing to do with the system.

Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui didn't dare to be verbose when they saw that Wei Bao didn't speak, they didn't know what was wrong with him, and they all thought they were tired.

Wei Bao lay on the bed, holding a cigarette, and when he got to his bed, he was suddenly not too tired or sleepy, and said to himself: "Maybe, I'm only suitable for being a quiet SB, right?" I don't want to do anything, it's beautiful. ”

After saying this, Wei Bao sneered, secretly thinking that he should not be too arrogant, whether he has the ability to change the society, whether he has the ability to create a small society of his own, a small world, not to mention for the time being, he still has made some achievements in the end, the entire cement research and development process, he made it himself, for this matter, as well as the matter of hitting deep well water, both things are extremely satisfied.

After smoking and resting for about an hour, Wei Bao got up, not artificially waking up, but he turned the alarm clock on his mobile phone to vibrate.

Wang Qiuya asked in surprise: "You got up after a while?" Get more sleep, right? They're all working anyway, and they can go whenever they want. ”

"No, this is the time for everyone to change shifts, just right, if you go later, it will affect the rest of the day shift workers." Wei Bao Road.

He temporarily set a 12-hour work system, no matter how heavy the task is, he has to ensure that people rest, there are two days off a month, and the specific day off can be discussed by the people below and the person in charge.

Although he is a super capitalist, Wei Bao does not have a black heart of capital, and he is not suitable for doing things that rely on the blood and sweat of laborers to complete the primitive accumulation.

Therefore, Wei Bao just does some decision-making things, does some technical things, specifically operates the entire system, and participates in specific management, but he can't, so he rarely participates.

When Fan Xiaolin, Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya heard this, they all smiled sweetly, and the girls still like Wei Bao, a warm man who loves to think about others.

Wei Bao and the others came to the cement factory, Luo San was stunned when he saw Gongzi, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Gongzi, everything has been arranged, everyone wants to contract to repair the road." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, he was not worried that the privatized small business would not be able to get up. The wages here are in his own hands, in fact, the contracted projects are all making a lot of money, but the ordinary workers who stay under the direct team of Tiandi Firm, and the wages of non-staff workers are low.

However, Wei Bao is not worried that there is no one under him, because the housing is provided by him, and after all, it is more stable to do things under him, when the outsourced small project is completed, what work will be received in the future, and whether there is work to do, no one can say, and when he wants to return to the team directly under the Tiandi firm as an ordinary worker, he may have a lower status than the ordinary worker who has been staying in the team, and the position is poor.
