Chapter 26 Disabled Soldiers
When Song Xing and his group returned quickly, Li Xian was explaining to everyone a timekeeping tool - Big Ben. Considering the current superficial industrial foundation, Li Xian could only choose Big Ben.
"It has two important components, clockwork and pendulum. Clockwork is used to accumulate energy, while pendulum is used to count time." Li Xian talked about dry mouth, mainly because Li Xian only knew a general idea of this thing, and the gear arrangement inside, etc., and he knew nothing about it.
"How to time the pendulum?" Everyone was confused, and even Xu Ren was confused. How to time an iron ball that was swaying around?
"I know, I know!" The little Xie An shouted, "Although the swing amplitude is different, the time of each swing is the same! Therefore, as long as the length of the cycloid is calculated, the timing can be accurately determined, and the minute and second can be achieved."
"Hmm?" Xu Ren observed carefully for a long time, and it was really like this. "Xie An, how do you know this?"
"Big brother, young master, don't let me say it."
Li Xian:...
"Haha..." Everyone suddenly laughed.
Liu Bin also laughed for a long time before he recovered: "Young Master, the principle of this thing is very simple, but if you want to accurately schedule, you need to measure it repeatedly. It is expected that the finished product will be made before the New Year within a month."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Seeing that another item was solved, Li Xian finally smiled, feeling so accomplished.
But after the good news, the bad news - there was not enough manpower! When Li Xian came to Anyang, there were only more than 300 people around him; the textile branch had already insufficient manpower, and Aunt He Lin personally went to Anyang and surrounding villages to recruit some women, which was considered to have temporarily solved the problem.
But now, with the proposal of the Big Ben plan and the increasing demand for textile machines in textile branches, the machinery branch first encountered a shortage of staff.
Unlike textile branches, machinery branches have research tasks and belong to core departments and cannot be visited by anyone. In terms of confidentiality awareness, the factory attaches great importance to it.
In addition, the machinery factory needs to increase its production capacity, which puts huge pressure on the metallurgical branch. It was already necessary to bear the order for the 1 million kilogram of weapons of the sea clan, and Song Gangchou's hair was about to be taken off. Now, as soon as the Big Ben's mission was on, many factory managers broke out.
What should I do if I don’t have enough staff? This is not something that comes at the moment. At least it’s a test of loyalty. Now it’s Li Xian’s turn to grab his hair.
Only Xu Ren was confident, "Young Master, why is this difficult? Find the eldest master to ask for someone!"
"Brother? Who are there in his place? More than 30,000 soldiers are clamoring that it is not enough every day."
"Disabled soldiers!" Xu Ren seemed to think of something, and his tone was a little sad, "Every state governor has a large number of disabled soldiers. When I was at the Songzhou Governor, I saw tens of thousands of disabled soldiers. Their lives... have almost no hope. Moreover, many governors, state governors, etc. would secretly "treat" some disabled soldiers to reduce the burden.
Moreover, as far as we are concerned, we can arrange many disabled soldiers to work. Even if we cannot work, we can let them see the door and warehouse. And the loyalty of these soldiers is fine."
Li Xian immediately stood up, "I actually forgot this. Sir, let's go to Anyang to see how many disabled soldiers are in Anyang."
When he left the factory, Li Xian suddenly spoke, "Sir, you've wanted to say this a long time ago."
This time, Xu Ren no longer had the look of Zhizhu holding it, but was a little sad and sighed: "I know I can't hide it from you. The most important reason why I left the governor of Songzhou is not only because he did not accept my opinion, but also because I found that he was secretly dealing with useless soldiers."
Li Xianran said that such things are not uncommon in any world. Disabled soldiers are not only worthless, but are heavy drags. When Cao Cao passed Huarong Road, he even let the disabled and weak soldiers pave the road with a bundle of straw in front of him. Later, Cao Cao charged with cavalry. The disabled soldiers became paving mats and were trampled on the muddy road.
After a long time, Li Xian suddenly said solemnly, "Sir, maybe Li Xian has the ability to let you see a brand new world!"
Li Xian came to Anyang City again, and when he saw Li Xian's soldiers along the way, they all called the commander respectfully. Although Li Xian did not have a real leader for one day and his cultivation was not as good as some centurions and commanders, Li Xian's performance after coming to Anyang was truly respected by these soldiers.
"Haha, brother, I heard the call of the captain from afar." Li Xian's elder brother Li Liang also came over from afar.
Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "Brother, I'm here to solve your trouble."
"Trouble? I'm not in trouble?"
Li Xian looked at the soldiers around him and then, and his voice was a little smaller, "Brother, let's talk inside."
"good."
After sitting down, Li Xian finally reached his goal, "Brother, the business has completed its expansion and is in need of a large number of manpower. I heard that there are many disabled soldiers here, so maybe I can give them a new place to settle down."
Unexpectedly, Li Liang suddenly frowned, "Brother, these soldiers are indeed a burden, but I am willing to support them. They are already injured and disabled. Do you still have the heart to keep them busy?"
Li Xian sat upright, "Brother, listen to my explanation.
First, for these disabled soldiers, at least for most of them, such a life is a humiliation! Give them some busy things, give their lives a new meaning, and let them prove that they are still alive, this is a better way to treat them.
Second, let them be busy and give them new goals so that they will not sigh and sigh in the face of their incomplete bodies every day. We are all practitioners. As long as we have confidence, we will have the opportunity to enter the Nascent Soul stage to reshape our bodies in the future.
Third, voluntarily register and never force it; and even if you enter the workshop, the monthly compensation you give them cannot be left behind. Those who are unwilling to work will still be kept according to the original standards.
Fourth, as long as I am willing to sign up, I can arrange corresponding positions for them, and at least give them motivation and hope to continue practicing.
Fifth, ensure preferential treatment for their families. The factory can even send people to take care of their children and educate their children to practice and study.
What do you think, brother?"
Li Xian's words and thoughts obviously had a huge impact on Li Liang. Even Xu Ren, who had been following Li Xian, could hear his eyes glowing - it turned out that things could still be done and explained in this way.
Li Xian stared at his elder brother Li Liang and quietly waited for the reply.
After a while, Li Liangcai ordered his adviser, Zou Hui, the county magistrate here, to first ask about the meaning of the disabled soldiers.
Soon, Zou Hui came back with a weird expression, "The eldest young master, almost all the disabled soldiers expressed their willingness to go out to work. As long as the young master did not refuse and could tolerate them making mistakes, they would rather not have wages."
Zou Hui said it was plain, but Li Liang felt the sadness of the soldiers. He sighed, "Little brother, you are right. No, brother, you are right. Haha..."
Li Xian had a black line, and the words "virtuous brother" were probably not lost for a long time.
Without Li Xian coming forward, Xu Ren and the new factory managers in various factories went crazy and started to rob people! In fact, the number of disabled soldiers exceeded imagination, and there were tens of thousands! When Li Xian heard this number, he was stunned for a long time - Anyang, which only had one county, could have tens of thousands of disabled soldiers?!
Then Li Xian figured it out that the soldiers here were all practitioners, and their survivability was very powerful. On Earth, most of the disabled soldiers in ancient times died of infection, etc.; but this is the world of practice, and these soldiers are all practitioners.
