Boil the heavens

People can create money, and money can be created by people.

In the pre-nuclear era, this cycle was an unquestionable truth.

Now, Emerald Tiger spends money outside to collect manpower and materials for Da Zhou, while Yan Fei uses the manpower he recruited at home to create valuable products that can make money.

Yan Fei can make mirrors, refined salt, and other good things that make money. However, there are not enough manpower to do it on a large scale.

The Mingjing Factory is a shed built by students from Yushan College and [-] workers participated. The maximum monthly output is only [-] pieces of the lowest rough mirrors, [-] pieces of ordinary flat mirrors, and [-] pieces of mirrors. Advanced full mirror.

The refined salt production factory is also a workshop built by students from Yushan College with [-] women and [-] men. It is busy from dark to night, and after a month, the output is only about one ton.

The production capacity is very low, but this is already the limit of Dazhou. If we continue to deploy more manpower to expand production, it will greatly affect other projects, such as road construction and city construction.

The construction of Dazhou is an all-round development, from education to transportation, from factories to technology... The demand for manpower and money is like a bottomless pit, which makes people see no end.

As Yan Fei said, mirrors and refined salt can bring him a steady stream of wealth, but this steady stream of wealth will be absorbed by the countless vortexes as soon as it is produced.

Therefore, Da Zhou can make a lot of money, but Da Zhou is also very short of money.

If you lack money, you need to make money, and if you want to make money, you need commercial circulation, and the foundation of commercial circulation is transportation.

The land of the Western Regions is completely a wasteland in this era. The so-called traffic is just a road that people forcibly step on. It is narrow and difficult to walk, and it is very dangerous.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to build roads.

And this is also the project that consumes the most manpower in Dazhou.

In addition to building roads, cities must also be built, to be precise, cities.

There is no city wall in the capital of Dazhou, which saves a lot of engineering, but without the city wall, there are a lot of other constructions. After the basic housing for living is completed, the commercial street and the government office will also be built. , but also to build the palace...

In short, a large number of projects are still under construction at the same time, and they are too busy.

"Xiao Yan'er, go to neighboring countries to recruit workers." Yan Fei said to her after finding Yan Lingji who was helping Duanmu Rong cook medicine.

The medicine Duanmurong cooked is the basic prescription of the Dazhou Disease Prevention and Control Center. In order to prevent various problems such as acclimatization, Duanmurong and Nianduan developed this cheap medicinal soup. Everyone drinks it every day to enhance immunity. Stay fit, don't get sick, don't delay work.

Xiao Yan'er, this is Yan Fei's nickname for Yan Lingji. This nickname started from the night Yan Fei broke into Yan Lingji's room.

"Recruitment?" Looking at Yan Fei, Yan Lingji naturally understood what he meant, but...

"How do you plan to recruit workers? Giving food is definitely not an option. Do you want to give silver dollars to others? Or do you want to use refined salt or mirrors to pay for it?" Yan Lingji asked.

"Use refined salt to counteract it," Yan Fei said.

"But these salts were originally intended to be exchanged for money and food." Yan Lingji frowned and said, "You are tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, drinking poison to quench your thirst."

"In my opinion, those small broken countries are very weak. Wouldn't it be more convenient to just kill their kings and then take their citizens to build a great Zhou for us?"

Glancing at Yan Lingji angrily, Yan Fei said, "How many times have I told you that we must lay a good foundation and not mess around!"

"With our top-notch combat power, it's easy to destroy a small country, and it's not difficult to rob their people. But if you can tie their people, can you tie their hearts? If one is not good, it will be even more difficult. It will cause a strong backlash, even if there is no backlash, it will take a long time to really integrate, which is not cost-effective!"

"Recruiting workers, let them come to work with us, let them feel the various benefits of Dazhou, and then pay them their wages, and finally after they go back happily, their wages will be exploited and robbed by the people above. In sharp contrast, Over time, with the accumulation of anger, they will naturally rush into Da Zhou's arms, this is our policy!"

"If you hadn't tied up my mother's people first, how could you have tied up my mother's heart? Heretics." Yan Lingji muttered, and then seeing Yan Fei's darkened face, she quickly laughed and said, "To put it bluntly, Go up and down, tsk tsk... You are so dangerous, you give me a specific standard, and I will recruit in the afternoon."

"The standard has already been written by Li Si, you don't care if he goes." After that, Yan Fei left directly, and he still wanted to see the progress of the old man's rail car.

What the hell, I'm so busy every day, it's so difficult to build an ideal country, especially starting from scratch!

Leaving from Yan Lingji, Yan Fei came to the scientific research institute.

The so-called scientific research institute is integrated with Yushan Academy, and it is just two houses plus a large open space.

Here, it is also the physics laboratory of Yushan College.

When Yan Fei arrived, on a circular track in the open space, a rail car made entirely of wood was slowly driving at a speed of about [-] miles. The front of the rail car was a huge green dragon, with two sections of ten meters behind it. Left and right compartments.

"Success!?"

Looking at this special train, Yan Fei looked at old man Ban in surprise.

With Dazhou's current manpower and technological level, it is impossible to make a train. Of course, it is not impossible for Yan Fei to cooperate with Eva's ability with his own wisdom, but in his opinion, it is meaningless to do so.

Dazhou is going to develop technology, but technology has to be developed step by step. If some important links are missing in the middle, it will make it difficult for technology to advance.

Moreover, giving blindly will destroy the creativity of scientific researchers!

You can't just pick up other people's things and imitate them yourself!

Therefore, instead of pulling seedlings to encourage growth, it is better to let it grow naturally, and protect it from the wind and rain by yourself.

In addition to this reason, Yan Fei does not want to cultivate the Great Zhou into a pure modern civilization. He wants to combine his own wisdom with the wisdom of this era to create a brand new Great Zhou.

Therefore, he only provided ideas and some basic plans, and the specific development of this rail car was basically done by old man Ban.

He used the Mohist organ Qinglong's power as the front of the car. This power does not burn coal, but is driven by water circulation, which can be described as quite environmentally friendly.

Of course, the organ Qinglong was originally a pure war machine for war, but now it is used for civilian use, and many things need to be debugged, plus the battery life of the water circulation power, so although this thing has been developed for almost two months, it has not yet been truly developed. success.

"It can only be regarded as a preliminary research success." Seeing the big guy slowly advancing in front of him, the old man also showed a satisfied smile, "This is only the first generation."

"The current speed is its limit. The maximum speed/h, the power of the water cycle is insufficient, and the load is only 32t. Both the speed and the load are far from your requirements, but the safety performance and stability have been verified, and you can put it into Production has been applied." The old man stroked his white beard and said with a smile.

"Water cycle, didn't you consider the steam power I told you?" Yan Fei asked.

"I've considered it, but it's still in the experiment. Moreover, I don't plan to use your method of direct combustion to generate steam power. I plan to use the amount of water vapor generated by the rail car during its movement, and then circulate the rollers to drive."

Old man Ban has a lot of ideas, but...

Yan Fei looked at the old man suspiciously, such a high-tech idea, can you realize it?

"What kind of eyes do you have? Don't underestimate the old man. Since the old man dares to say it, he will definitely do it!" Blowing his beard and staring, the old man Ban said angrily.

"That's the good news I'm waiting for you." Yan Fei chuckled. Although he doubted that the old man could do it, the Mohist's mechanism technique is indeed very unique. Combined with the unique energy of true energy, it may really be able to make people Even if he researches it, he can't say for sure.

"No matter what you think, in short, the rail car will make great progress in terms of speed, load, pulling force, etc., and you have to continue to work hard." Patting the old man on the shoulder, Yan Fei looked at the Mo family behind him "Everyone has worked hard, please rest assured, the patent fees and bonuses I promised will be paid to you soon."

Patent fees, this refers to the share, how much profit the rail car puts into operation, should be allocated to these R&D personnel in proportion, and the period is 100 years.

As for the bonus, it was a one-off, very rich, in addition to the land, house and a lot of cash, there was also a title.

The title of [-]th in the Great Week, when meeting, the lower level has to salute to the higher level, the status is obvious, of course, this level is more reflected in the heart and morality, rather than the oppressive nature.

But no matter what the quality is, it is always good to be superior, and this is the same no matter in modern times or in ancient times.

Mohists who engage in technology have not received much attention from the world, so they really want people to look at them highly.
