Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 241 Internal and External Synergy
"Clang~"

"Clang~"

Inside the Jiangnan Shipyard, the sound of blacksmithing was ringing out one after another in the blacksmith's workshop.

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

Due to the high noise in the workshop, the other party didn't hear Li Nan's greeting at all, and was still busy working on the iron station, without even raising his head.

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

Unfortunately, the sparks from the blacksmith just splashed on his face, not only startled him, but also the master blacksmith.

"Ouch~"

"Ouch~"

Two ouches in unison.

The master hurriedly put down the hammer in his hand, moved closer to him and said dryly, "Xiao Li, are you alright?"

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

How can the master be at ease, after hearing this, not only did he not stay away, but he moved his face closer: "Your face is blushing, I'm fine, I'll see what's wrong with my eyes, listen to uncle, hurry up and come with me Go to the faucet and rinse it, how can you suffer this kind of crime."

It’s okay not to mention this, and immediately closed his eyes even more tightly after saying this, and his tone was almost sad: “Master, I seem to really lose my sight, the iron filings have gotten into my eyes, I guess I won’t be able to see the light later, daughter-in-law I haven't married yet, and the old Li family is still counting on me to carry on the family line, so it's all over now..."

As he said that, as if he was about to cry, he squatted down and sobbed.

The master thought it was all right, for so many years of blacksmithing, he hadn't seen what kind of scene.

I didn't expect to be old and old, and I couldn't guarantee it at the end of the festival, and I suddenly panicked.

"Xiao Li, get up, get up, trust uncle, it's definitely fine, hurry up and go see a doctor with uncle, if Chinese medicine doesn't work, let's go to a western doctor, it will definitely take care of your eyes, if anything happens, I will... ..."

Li Nan asked curiously, "Master, what do you want?"

"Alas!" The master sighed and said, "I have a daughter under me. It just so happens that the two of you really know each other. If it doesn't work, I'll match you up."

Li Nan was really stunned. He didn't expect the master to value this matter so much. He immediately felt guilty, and quickly stood up from the ground and said, "Master, you don't have to do this. The history of parents' orders and matchmaker's words has long It’s over, now it’s about free love.”

The master's neck stiffened: "Stop talking nonsense here, can you keep things from me about the two of you? Hurry up and see a doctor, there is still time to go now."

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

Now Li Nanke couldn't hold it anymore, not only because his relationship was exposed, but also because of the fact that this incident may also be discovered.

Wanting to break free, but this master has been forging iron all year round, and his body is full of tendons.

Holding Li Nan is like holding a chicken, it's easy and effortless.

"Master, I really don't need to be so troublesome. I feel that I can't see anymore, so I don't need to waste my efforts." Li Nan struggled to get out, groping around like a blind man: "Where is the bag I just came over? Where is the bag? "

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

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

"Thank you, master." Li Nan fumbled in his bag for a while, and finally took out two books: "Yesterday, a gentleman whom I respect very much gave me two books, and said that I must go back and read them. When I got the book, I didn't quite understand the meaning of it, but after reading the first chapter, I was really shocked.

It's a pity that I went blind at a young age, and I don't know the content behind the book anymore...Master, I just have one wish now, that is, can you please help me read the content behind, which can be regarded as the end of my only one. Hope, I don't want any daughter or compensation. "

The master's face became darker the more he heard it, and he snatched the book at the end: "I want to see what is written on it that makes you take it so seriously... Hmph, you don't even want my daughter?"

Li Nan's face was suffocated suddenly, and he thought that I was saying what I said, but don't take it seriously.

However, after the master got two books, he was deeply attracted just by looking at the titles.

""*****" and "***"? We seem to have translated it in our office."

Taking a deep look at Li Nan, the master thoughtfully, then picked up "*****" and began to read:

"The history of all societies hitherto is the history of ****..."

At the beginning, the master’s voice was relatively low, but later combined with his own situation, the master became more and more impressed, his voice became louder, and more and more workers unconsciously watched. Even the scaffolding was full of people.

"It's so good, it really speaks out the aspirations of our workers."

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

"This matter is not over yet, so we will settle accounts with the foreigner, and the factory will eat meat, and we will drink the Northwest Wind!"

"*worker, let's go to *worker..."

When the workers were in a turmoil, the master pulled Li Nan aside, holding two books and said with a half-smile:

"Okay, stop pretending, where did these two books come from?"

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

The master snorted coldly: "There is no one else here, just the two of us. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It would be boring to keep it secret. Don't say I don't care about you when you turn around! I played eagles all my life, and finally got blinded by Nengying eyes?"

Seeing that it was really impossible to hide it anymore, 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 indeed more important. Your prestige is high in the institute. I really can't think of anyone else except you." .”

The master looked at the two books in his arms, then at Li Nan, and said, "Is it related to these two books?"

Li Nan nodded, then shook his head: "To be precise, it has something to do with all our workers' protests. For the benefit of everyone, and for the better development of Jiangnan Shipyard in the future, we are planning a resistance movement."

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

Taking advantage of the excellent time window of World War I, many factories in China have achieved tremendous development, and the workforce that followed has become stronger and stronger, but there are not many corresponding rights.

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

The labor contract system means that the enterprise contracts part of the work and types of work to the contractor, who recruits, organizes and supervises the workers for production.At that time, contract workers accounted for about 60% of the total number of workers.

Contractor workers are temporarily recruited by the contractor boss, and they work on a day-to-day basis, and the wages are paid by the contractor boss. Under the layers of deductions, the workers receive very little wages.

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

The so-called apprentices here are not much different from the "graduation practice" when they graduate. On the surface, they seem to be for the benefit of the students, but in fact they are all exploiting apprentices (students). They do the same heavy labor as workers during the day, but their wages are lower than ordinary workers. much.

During this period, inspectors were sent to supervise the labor of workers in various departments, and the labor examination department issued a "foul penalty list" on a monthly basis. Dozens of workers were "deducted" or "fired" almost every month.

At the same time, the method of "clocking clocks and cards" for commuting to and from get off work is implemented, that is, clocks are set at the gate.

Workers go to (off) work every day. Under the supervision of the inspectors, they must insert the work card into the slot of the clock, and automatically mark the worker's (off) work time on the card. Those who are on time will be marked in blue. Minutes, that is, as a quarter of an hour to calculate and deduct wages.

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

As for those two books, it is easy to understand.

During the process of going to Europe a while ago, those foreign students were asked to help with the translation.

Combining the versions seen by later generations, Cheng Nuo has obtained the most complete Chinese version of this era, which fully meets the standards of integrity and elegance, and this is also an important reason for successfully mobilizing the workers' emotions.

Seeing that the master was very moved, Li Nan said vigorously: "Master, more than 1000 lesbians in Shanghai Nisshang Spinning Factory have launched a large-scale labor operation in order to improve their salaries. Although the police station suppressed them, these comrades Still gritted our teeth and insisted, we big men have no reason to stand behind lesbians!"

The master hesitated: "Let me think about it again..."

"Don't think about it anymore, master." Li Nan took the initiative to stand in front of the master, with a sincere face: "In terms of gender, we build ships so men are the majority; in terms of numbers, we have more than 2000 people in shipbuilding; They went on strike and won, why did they hesitate so much this time?!
Don't you want to make everyone's life easier, every sentence in the book is from the bottom of your heart, we can't just read it like this..."

Gritting his teeth, the master said decisively: "Okay, let's do it like this. I have long seen that these foreigners are not happy. They are all a bunch of things. They have some technology to hide and hide it. In the end, it's not all done by us. Let's go. Let's go to the big guy to discuss it..."

……

Outside of Jiangnan Shipyard, Cheng Nuo is actively planning.

On the one hand, it is to spread out the legend of these two books as soon as possible, sow the seeds of fire in advance, and accumulate strength for the future.

Although my husband's ideas have been passed on, but the speed of transmission is relatively slow, the theoretical content is relatively fragmented, and it is limited to a brief introduction in journals of minor education.

In the treatises and articles of intellectuals of different factions, they are presented in the form of fragments and viewpoint introductions, but most of them only give a brief introduction to a certain aspect or some fragments of the husband, and the practical significance is not great.

Cheng Nuo's approach is to move from fragmented communication to aggregated communication, from local communication to overall communication.

Of course, everything is a pseudonym, sent to Mr. Li in Beijing, and then sent out through his hands.

On the other hand, Cheng Nuo decided to unite the group of Chinese workers he brought back from Europe to improve the shipbuilding technology in advance. He decided to follow the example of the American shipbuilders during World War II. Not only could the speed of ship construction be accelerated by one-third, but the construction cost could also be reduced by four. One-third, or even only four days to successfully enter the water.

At that time, the German navy sank the ships of the Allies faster than the speed of the production of ships of the Allies, and the sea battlefield was overwhelming.But in the blink of an eye, things turned around. The production speed of American shipyards exceeded the speed of the sunken ships, and more than 5 ships were built in 5000 years.

One aspect is to organize production lines by similarity of vessel area and type of operation.

When it came to Cheng Nuo, he didn't have to copy it completely, and he didn't have the ability to copy it completely, but he could do it like a cat, which was also ahead of Morgan's British craftsmanship.

"Tie Hammer, please remember that we organize production by region. The shelling, outfitting, and coating operations are separated in space and orderly in time to ensure the integration of design, production, and management. Balanced and continuous final assembly and shipbuilding, you Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Tiechui followed Cheng Nuo, holding a small notebook in his left hand and a pencil in his right, and quickly took notes in the notebook.

However, I have memorized things, and I know each of these many words, but when they are combined into a sentence, I can't understand them at all.

With a bitter face, Wang Tiechui was full of frustration: "Dean, why don't you just tell me what you want me 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 technology?"

Wang Tiehammer stammered: "I really can't understand this. I'm almost running out of brains, but I just can't understand it. It's all because I'm too stupid. I can't teach it no matter what."

"I can understand your thoughts, but the new technology is related to whether Morgan can be kicked out of his position. If the factory succeeds, our countrymen will have the final say, but if it fails, it will belong to the foreigners." Cheng Nuo smiled. , patted his subordinate on the shoulder and comforted him: "However, I will leave this matter to you, and it is really difficult for others."

Hearing this, Wang Tiehammer breathed a sigh of relief: "I only managed one workshop in France before, and now I am directly in charge of the entire process. It really screwed up the courtyard, but I dare to issue a military order. As long as I am given time, I will definitely It is now that I can fully understand the technology in it..."

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "So now we work together, exploring as we go, learning incrementally and innovating incrementally.

Taking painting as an example, the areas and stages of painting are strictly stipulated in the design stage, that is, raw material painting, component painting section painting and shipboard painting, so that painting becomes an operation process that runs through all manufacturing levels, thereby improving coating quality, and eliminate the mutual interference of different types of work..."
