The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 286: The Emergence of a New Artisan Era
In an era when the entertainment methods of the lower-class people were poor, new dramas were loved by the lower-class people beyond people's imagination.

The imitation of the characters in the new play spreads at the fastest speed.

Whether it is sincere approval or for the purpose of attracting attention, people's behavior of learning the behavior of characters in new plays can be seen everywhere.

People can watch it three or five times, and even a dozen times can't dispel their enthusiasm for watching the play.

Even King Ning was attracted by the content of the new play on the stage.

This brand new, more immersive, and full of story content, unlike traditional opera, a story is the whole scene.

People didn't have a chance to look away, and the dissatisfaction in King Ning's heart had long since been forgotten.

The characteristics of young people who forget quickly and are more easily influenced by new things, even King Ning can't avoid it.

"is this real?"

Zhu Quan couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's true, there are prototype characters." Zhu Gaochi said in an affirmative tone, without hesitation that would cause doubts.

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's answer, Zhu Quan was amazed.

"Wouldn't you think that the ethos of Peking has risen to such a level? It's really unbelievable."

"Promoting the social status of soldiers and increasing the sense of honor of soldiers is what Peiping and China Heavy Industries have been doing."

"When society recognizes soldiers and is proud of them, then soldiers with a sense of social responsibility, and an army with such soldiers, will be the most powerful army."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

King Ning's position is very important.

It is a character who must be drawn over, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble, so it is important to let him turn his heart to the Peking model and Peking culture.

As long as King Ning is willing to learn from the Peking model and culture, his political stance will naturally be on the side of Peking.

"It's not easy for the common people to recognize soldiers, let alone be proud of soldiers. It may be difficult to achieve this kind of atmosphere."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Quan.

King Ning is very young.

It is indeed rare to have this understanding.

However, considering this person's future performance and ability to govern Daning, it is not surprising that this person is a qualified vassal king.

"Can Daning do this?"

"can."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "As long as China Heavy Industry promotes the industrialization in Daning and continues unswervingly, improving people's living materials, and then assisting the treatment of soldiers and guiding the social atmosphere, the society's impression of soldiers will be very easy. Turn around."

"It's really that simple?"

Zhu Quan was a little skeptical.

Of course it's not easy.

China Heavy Industry was founded by itself, and it is the result of combining countless practical experiences on the shoulders of future generations of giants.

Zhu Gaochi said softly: "Soldiers fighting wars, especially foreign wars, belong to the behavior of defending the home and the country. There is no doubt about it."

"The interests of soldiers and ordinary people have the same direction, so as long as the current unfavorable factors are reversed, it is not difficult for society to be proud of soldiers."

on the stage.

When the curtain came to an end, the announcers came to the stage and told the audience in a loud voice that the prototype of the new play was the soldiers at Bauhinia Pass, and that the new play came from real people and real events.

A short sentence made the audience in the auditorium extremely excited.

The applause sounded like thunder.

The audience was mainly soldiers, who paid attention to order and exited the theater in an orderly manner. Finally, King Ning bid farewell to Zhu Gaochi, Fang Kuan and others.

King Ning took Zhu Gaochi's hand.

"China Heavy Industry's development in Daning will not be hindered. I hope that what my nephew said can appear in Daning as soon as possible."

"Uncle Seventeen, don't worry."

Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.

King Ning nodded, got on the king's car, and was escorted by everyone, leaving Zhu Gaochi and Fang Kuan behind.

Fang Kuan is his own person, Zhu Gaochi speaks more casually.

On the quiet street, the two walked side by side, and the guards behind them were far away so as not to disturb their conversation.

"On the other side of Beiping, the Guard Office and China Heavy Industry are closely united, which not only reduces the burden on the Guard Office, but also greatly promotes the development of the military industry."

"There are no civilian households in the Daning area, only military households. The development of the military industry is very important, which is beneficial to the palace."

Fang Kuan knew what the little prince wanted.

Beiping's military supplies, such as iron materials, will be produced exclusively by civilian iron after being counted by the capital according to local needs.

The production method is a combination of craftsmen serving corvee and wages.

The original nationality management system had this consideration in mind.

Craftsmen will serve the government at a certain time every year, which can be regarded as a disguised social obligation.

After Zhu Gaochi's promotion, this production method gradually changed.

Not only was the method of production of military industry by the guards removed, reducing the production burden of the guards, but also the way of service was changed.

In short, the daily expenses are directly allocated to China Heavy Industry by the company, and China Heavy Industry will bear it alone.

This is incredible behavior.

However, with the support of Wang Fu and China Heavy Industry, and the burden on the guards was indeed reduced, and the Peking capital was also controlled by the Peking faction.

So this policy has been implemented.

Although Fang Kuan worked in Daning, he was one of the big men in the Beiping family and knew the changes in Beiping like the back of his hand.

"Daning's whole heart is devoted to the palace, but Daning is different from Beiping. Many things that can be done in Beiping cannot be done in Daning."

"I think King Ning is a man. Although he is a person who knows the general situation, he also has his demands. I am afraid that he will not let China Heavy Industry control all aspects of Daning."

Zhu Gaochi pondered.

The strength of Daning surpassed that of Kaiping.

Beiping, Kaiping, and Daning are like a troika, all of which are indispensable, together with the independent system he founded in Jinzhou, and the Shixia Camp developed in Miyun District.

It can be said that the forces hidden under the water and directly controlled by the palace have reached a terrifying level.

Zhu Gaochi wanted to integrate the three places into one, but King Ning of Daning was an unavoidable resistance.

"It would be nice if there was no such person."

Zhu Gaochi sighed.

Fang Kuan's complexion changed drastically, and he hastily whispered, "Young Lord, be careful with your words."

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi did not speak, Fang Kuan took a step closer and explained: "If King Ning has an accident in Daning, it will be detrimental to the current development momentum of Beiping."

Zhu Gaochi shook his hand, "I'm just talking casually, I didn't really think about it, I know the seriousness of the matter."

Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

He also has a deeper understanding of the world in front of him.

People say that the little prince whose benevolence and righteousness surpasses the prince is not as harmless as the propaganda, but rather cruel, much more ruthless than the prince.

For the first time, China Heavy Industries left Zhu Gaochi to sit in charge in person for a long time.

within this time period.

China Heavy Industry was a little dazed at the beginning, but quickly recovered its calm. All departments have been delegated power, forming a situation of joint efforts and independent development.

Beiping Miyun Division.

After Miyun Iron Works was divided, its scale was smaller than that of Beiping Iron Works for a year and a half. In the second year, the scale of Miyun Iron Works surpassed that of Beiping Iron Works again.

With the great development of Miyun Iron Mine, which has excellent mining conditions and mineral quality in all aspects, Miyun Iron Works, relying on Miyun Iron Mine, has become a well-deserved leading enterprise.

Relying on a relatively single industry, the Miyun sub-district actually has the strength to rival the headquarter factory division.

The Miyun Division has also established an independent technical department, which is not related to the superior-subordinate relationship with the technical department in the headquarters factory area.

The technical department of the Miyun district has a different research direction from the technical department of the headquarters factory area. 80.00% of the resource technology research is established on the iron factory.

In terms of technology in the iron smelting and wrought iron industry, the technical reserves of the Miyun sub-district far exceed that of the technical department of the headquarters plant area.

The first steam engine gravity hammer was invented by Miyun Iron Works.

Then the first lever hammer, the first cam hammer, the first friction hammer... all kinds of machines were invented and put into use.

Wansan is a good player technically, but lacks vision.

He is the chief technical master of the Miyun Division. As a result, when the Miyun Iron Works was split, he felt that the momentum of the Miyun Iron Works was not as good as that of the Headquarters Iron Works, so he chose to be transferred back.

The current chief technical master of the Miyun District is a craftsman named Ma Dafang, who is about 40 years old.

He and several craftsmen are researching new technologies.

Zhonghua Heavy Industry undertook the military supplies of the Weisuo, except for the part supplied by the imperial court, the rest were produced by Zhonghua Heavy Industry.

The Miyun sub-division is not just an iron factory, there are many supporting workshops.

The sudden extra orders and high-load factories require a more labor-saving and faster technology.

Using more efficient technology to manufacture a large number of knives is only one direction, and many other directions are being studied.

"Several methods, I think the lever hammer method is the most convenient. Although the disadvantage is that it lacks strength, it is competent enough to make knives."

After discussing with several people, Ma Dafang finally decided on the direction of breakthrough.

soon.

The steam engine lever hammer specially used to forge knives was invented.

Like leverage.

One end is a large hammer head, the middle is a bracket, and the other end is a force-generating component, which is powered by a steam engine and transmission components.

Driven by the gear, the other end allows the big hammer to strike up and down quickly and at a constant speed.

The forging force is greater than that of a hand hammer, and the force of a lever hammer can be controlled by changing different gears to adjust the height of the hammer head.

Only one or two people are needed to operate it, and the efficiency of forging is more than ten times higher than that of a hand hammer.

It is most suitable for forging with wool iron and wool steel.

"This machine is not just as simple as improving production efficiency." Ma Dafang explained the truth to the apprentices.

"In the past, when forging ironware, craftsmen had to rely on their own experience to control the strength, and there was no standard."

"With this machine specially for making knives, with the same strength and speed forging, we can find out a set of processes."

"For example, one hundred strokes, two hundred strokes, the small gear is replaced by the large gear, and how many more strokes, the large gear is replaced by the medium gear."

"The theory of the assembly line production method can already be applied to actual production. In the future, the requirements for workers will be reduced, and more sufficient manpower will be obtained, and it will no longer be limited by the bottleneck of high-level craftsmen."

"This is a good thing, but there are also some bad things. The era of craftsmen has changed." Ma Dafang said something that the apprentices didn't understand.
