2.11 Transport machinery and encapsulation of rights

When a rampage of a male daughter was searching for a traitor.

I had no idea that Binghe, who was approaching the storm, was worried about the "small business" in his downtown area.

Nowadays, a branch of the novice machinery store has opened. This branch is next to the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Mercenary Association.

This is a bicycle shop with a gas truck generator car repair shop. The daily passenger flow of this shop makes the mercenary club next to it very deserted.

In bicycle repair shops, young people are recruited from the Lower City. Every morning at five o'clock, Binghe personally teaches these young workers who are not much older than him how to disassemble the simplest bicycle. During the disassembly, they are naturally covered in oil and there is no trace of noble elegance.

These young people who were recruited were not mechanics. They didn't even know a few words. However, they were smart and had a very fast understanding of the replacement of bicycle parts.

The internship salary given to them is five lira a month. The performance salary is related to the number of bicycles that are repaired. If the business is busy, twenty lira can be earned.

As for the parts of the bicycle, it was supplied by Binghe's special factory. The production process standards were formulated by Binghe, and the factory responsible for the production was joined by students from the School of Mechanical Sciences. At this time, Binghe Energy found not only the students from the third group.

Since renting a factory to deliver goods to the military, you can earn extra money. After making money, you will reasonably distribute the wages to your partners. - The reputation of making money and being generous has been widely circulated in the small circle of students in the Mechanical Academy of the Imperial Capital.

#

The manufacturing process of precision parts such as bearings is completed by several students from the Mechanical Academy. These tasks that only technical workers can complete are only responsible for the key technical workers.

As for assembly, low-tech and labor-intensive work links, there are a lot of labor in the lower city area. In Binghe's view, as long as the nobles' self-pretentious reserve, step-by-step teaching, and organize and manage them with integrity and reason, it can save mechanics a lot of time and deal with cumbersome and low-tech processes.

Mechanics make bicycles! In this era, there is a very alternative idea. But the thinking of modern people is reflected - 'The application and development of technology needs to meet market demand'. One-tenth of the families with higher incomes in the lower city of the empire can consume mechanical products only bicycles.

Binghe doesn't care about the reputation of the nobles and the noble image of the nobles.

Just staring at the iron rice bowl, hanging his own technology and the means of production he has mastered in the arms market, being hungry and half-dead and unwilling to adapt. That was the case in the big pot rice era in the 1980s.

When Binghe and his niece signed an unequal treaty, she would take care of the pocket money allocated by the family. Binghe felt that he needed to make money by himself.

Of course, the profit of the entire novice machinery store is not a bicycle, but a transportation team of gas locomotives.

Gas generator locomotive. A gas locomotive carrying a large tank gas generator (you can also burn firewood). After Binghe and the third group of students joined forces, they quickly summoned other groups of students to join, and every three days a group of people went to the factory to solve key production processes.

Soon a team of forty gas locomotives was formed in the imperial capital. The transportation capacity of these two hundred locomotives was comparable to that of thousands of horse-drawn carriages. They took on the freight of vegetables, fish and fruits around the imperial capital. This is exactly the bulk of the revenue of novice machinery stores.

Before this, railway transportation in this country maintained the circulation of materials between several major cities, while material communication between cities and suburbs still relied on the carriage system, which led to several or even ten times the difference between the basic prices in the city and the prices of rural agricultural products. Some worthless things such as taro and some game fruits can be sold in the city at a good price. The transportation capacity of mechanical locomotives just fills this vacancy.

The rise of the mechanical locomotive transportation industry must have threatened traditional industries, such as the carriage industry. The transportation industry in the imperial capital has the interests of No. 1 local snake. It can be said that the interests of the entire Xiacheng area were monopolized by a group of small nobles. But these local snakes are now unlucky to come out.

Technological changes will inevitably lead to conflicts of interest. It is difficult for feudal society to carry out the industrial revolution.

The reason is that a feudal society solidifies social rights. The various vested interest sectors of society curb technological gains at all levels of society.

If you want to expand a new technology in the market, you must have the right to expand a new technology.

For example, if a very small mechanic family mastered the gas truck technology, he could not promote it in the emperor. The various transportation lines in the imperial capital support a large number of people, and the interest lines behind this are traceable to a large number of nobles and men.

New technologies always have flaws at the beginning, but at the beginning, there is no cost advantage due to failure rate and maintenance rate. However, once new technologies want to occupy the market, they will be hostile to forces that already occupy the market.

For example, Tesla's alternating current on Earth was suppressed by Edison's General Electric, and alternating current was not promoted until Tesla died of poverty. - That was the era of monopoly capital groups. The competition and collision of monopoly capitals left a large space for technological advancement. People who master new technologies can still gain strength, or use the power of a certain capital group to expand the chain of interests through innovative technologies.

In the feudal era, from the great nobles to the small nobles, every industrial rights with interest in the empire were divided according to the rules of rights sealing. It was equivalent to all commercial rights, from steel to the profit chain of vegetables transported in urban vegetable markets, and were sealed with rights to family forces of all sizes. However, poor technicians had ideas, but had no reason to act.

The profit chain is all enfeoffed by rights, so without profit stimulation, the motivation for social technological progress is almost zero. (Most modern people’s motivation for work is either for money or for the high recognition of society. Selfless dedication to technological progress is the spiritual poisonous chicken soup.)

However, it cannot be said that the technology has completely stagnated. Of course, war has stimulated the technological progress of the military industry families. In order to stabilize the title and support the rights of the imperial capital, the Gun Flame family has also made continuous improvements to the military industry production lines over the past few hundred years. Of course, this technological progress is slower than a turtle in the eyes of Binghe. Binghe: "A thousand-year steam calendar is a sin."

#

So in this world, the technological progress that Binghe now has made in feudal society requires three conditions.

First: A nobleman with sufficient political power, no rules, and unwilling to abide by the rules, observe the world's technological system without any restrictions. He really loves the progress of this world's technological system

Gun Yan Bing He is already very strong, and now Gun Yan Bing He still brings Plun Keith to this profit chain, including more than a dozen young noble boys. Of course, aristocrats like Keith are decent and will not actively pay attention to the market at all. Only after Bing He invited Keith, did Keith join this circle of interests with his team members. (Bing He is too friendly to the people, and those noble boys do not recognize it, but now they see the halo of Bing He's excellent mechanics, not Bing He's "decent" behavior of "bang He's"). Such a large group of powerful young men gathered together, which made many local snakes in the imperial capital very afraid.

Second: A genius figured out the entire standardized production line and used the system division of labor to reduce the complexity of each link. - Gun Yanbinghe, as the chief technical designer, divided the labor a lot of labor on the link.

Third: We need a person with good connections to communicate with a large number of young mechanics, join this simple standard production, and be responsible for the most critical production steps according to the set standards. - Binghe's management ability and good management reputation.

Binghe just got these three conditions together.

So in the second half of this year, debugged gas locomotives began to operate in the imperial capital area under the name of the Royal Mechanical Academy.

There are six routes in total, each route ranging from 70 kilometers to 120 kilometers. There are fifteen stations along the way to thirty platforms.

Of course, all this cannot escape the eyes of the great masters of the empire.

On the third floor of the Celestial Tower, it is simple and solemn in the office study of the imperial emperor.

The Director of the Imperial Intelligence Agency stood quietly at His Majesty's desk. As one of the eyes and ears of His Majesty, he would deliver information to His Majesty the Emperor every day.

What I sent today is information about the "Number-friendly Machinery Store of Gun Flame Binghun" and the "gas truck transportation business".

When the emperor carefully opened the information on the desk, he seemed to be quite tolerant: "It's all children. Children get some pocket money and spend money. Don't make a fuss."

After the emperor gave such an evaluation, there was no further information. Of course, the smile of praise on the emperor's face made the head of the intelligence agency understand what His Majesty mean.

#

The cornerstone of imperial power are the army, steel, machinery manufacturing, ore, chemical industry, food, and transportation.

Without exception, these links related to the cornerstone of state rights are under the control of the great nobles. The great nobles have a high control over these related rights in their territory.

The imperial capital is the core territory of the royal family. The emperor is the supreme lord in this territory. Whether the behavior of any small noble in this territory is legal is the matter of the emperor's words.

In the past, the emperor allowed the road traffic near the imperial capital to be controlled by the royal nobles. Because of the emperor's tacit approval, it was legal for them to control it.

Now Binghe's behavior has reached the end of the day. After comparing the capacity of gas vehicles, the emperor believed that Binghe's making this thing effectively enhances the transportation in his territory. The emperor acquiesced to Binghe's behavior, so the current behavior of these mechanical academies is legal.

Of course, when the gas truck route is improved in the future, the royal family will take this industry under its own name. After all, this is a key industry in the royal territory.

#

But for the emperor, it is not the time to divide the cakes. Because the people who make the cakes are still young children, "grab the cakes that the children just made and grab the pocket money earned by the children of the Mechanical Academy." The royal family will not do such shameless things.

Even if you take this industry, the emperor will give some rights to the person in charge of this industry, such as awarding titles, awarding officials, giving marriages, etc. (Binghe is still too young.)
