Chapter 368 There are many countries in the world that can produce guns and artillery, as long as it is a country with the capacity of modern chemical industry, it can produce thirteen bullets, and even India, which has an aircraft carrier, imports its shells and bullets.The production process of bullets is very complicated, not the later processing and manufacturing process, but the early metal smelting process, which is not something that ordinary military factories can do.Like sniper rifle bullets, only the world's five major countries, Japan, Germany, the Czech Republic, Israel, and Canada, can do it, but the source of technology comes from the United States.Considering that the task of these gun research institutes is heavy enough, Quan Xu is embarrassed to continue to exploit them, so he set up another ammunition research institute to specialize in ammunition.The power of ammunition is just like that, it is difficult to have a significant increase, and under Quanxu's heavy reward, there are also people who are not afraid of death, and they grope for the nitrocellulose proposed by Quanxu in different ways.In Europe, I don't know how many Europeans are trying to make more powerful gunpowder, but there has not been much progress, maybe Nobel's grandfather is still in a single-cell state?
It's normal that Quan Xu's side didn't succeed, and if he did, it would be unexpected.The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest problem is illiterate, their work experience, all from the master's hand-to-hand teaching, as well as many years of work experience, let them talk about theory, it is estimated that the same as the shipbuilding master Li Chonggui, said, they can't say why, do, do can make a ship that is very in line with the scientific proportions, and a big ship with a good dense water tank.Ancient China did not establish a scientific research system, many innovative inventions were made by people with private interests, and those enthusiasts were completely whimsical, thinking of what to do, and did not have a complete scientific research plan, let alone record relevant experimental data.The worst thing is that most of the scientific research results related to chemistry are useless, and there is no way to bring benefits to researchers.In the Tang Dynasty, sulfuric acid was refined in China, but more than a thousand years have passed, and sulfuric acid, an extremely important thing, has not been applied to the lives of ordinary people.Those alchemists only know how to refine sulfuric acid, but they don't know what kind of use sulfuric acid can use, and they are not interested in researching, and many things with great potential pass by China in this way.And, of course, gunpowder.Chinese alchemists first proposed the principle and phenomenon of gunpowder in the Qin Dynasty, but it was only recorded in alchemy literature, warning not to mix some specified items, otherwise it would cause an explosion.Unlike craftsmen, Taoist priests are more or less educated, like famous alchemy experts in history, they are basically Confucianism and Taoism, however, since the appearance of gunpowder in the Qin Dynasty, until the first year of Tianyou of Tang Zhaozong (904), Yang Xingmi's army besieged Yuzhang, and the general Zheng (with the department to send a flying fire, burn the dragon sand gate, lead the strong man to break through the fire and enter the city first, and scorched the body).The Spitfire mentioned here is (artillery), (rockets) and so on.It's a pathology, like treatment.Quan Xu convened a meeting of experts from all research institutes, and said straight to the point: "In the future, whenever you do experiments and research, you must leave written materials, for example, record them, what things are used today, how to do them, and what the effect is......"
Li Chonggui said with a sad face: "Handsome, but the old man is illiterate, and those apprentices and grandchildren are also illiterate!"
”Li Chonggui can be regarded as saying the common problems of various research institutes, and it is also the voice of all craftsmen."
I'll solve this problem!"
Quan Xu asked Ren Honggui to come to the Golden State Acropolis for a meeting.Ren Honggui now has the most literate group of people under Quan Xu's hands, and these people are responsible for inspecting the production, sales, and trading accounts of various factories under Quan Xu's name, that is, a monkey version of the Second Division of the Supervision Yuan.At the beginning, Li Shirang's corruption was found out by Ren Honggui's people, in fact, the problem he found out was not only a Li Shirang, but also many people."
Master!""
Sit!"
Quan Xu looked at Ren Honggui and said: "Now the Gun Bureau is facing a serious problem, they don't have enough manpower to experiment and record, this work, I am going to hand it over to you to do!"
”"Yes!"
Ren Honggui groaned: "The experimental document is confidential and must not be passed on?
”"It's nature!"
Quan Xu thought for a while and said: "I am going to set up a secretariat in each research institute, responsible for recording all experimental data, regulating statistics, no need to record in Chinese, only need to record in vernacular, and at the same time ......"
Speaking of this, Quan Xu shook his head: "That's it, the insufficient part of the staff in the written record can be recruited, the premise is that you must sign a confidentiality agreement, once the secret is leaked, it will be severely punished!"
”In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the whole army, he set up a literacy class in the army, and all the officers and men began to read and study, which was listed as one of the daily assessments.Craftsmen do the same?
Jeon Wook shook his head and quickly rejected the idea.The work and rest of craftsmen are different from those of the troops, and the troops can be on time, what time to get up every day, what time to train, and what time to order.But the craftsmen are different, they are too simple, too mellow.Quanxu gave the craftsmen a certain amount of land and housing, which solved their worries, and these craftsmen worked day and night, rushing to work overtime, and they really couldn't take two hours of cultural classes every day like the army.Then run a school.Thinking of this, Jeon Wook left the Golden State Acropolis.Today, the Acropolis of Golden State is just a camp of craftsmen who develop and produce all kinds of guns, armor and equipment, even ordinary blast furnaces or open hearths, all of which are not inside the city, but outside the city.Quan Xu let the wind out, and he was going to run a university hall in southern Liaoning that could accommodate 2,000 people.The businessmen who have cooperated with Quanxu are moved.No one is a fool, this is Quan Xu wants to fight the autumn wind, if he wants to build his own academy, just like in Quanjiazhuang Town, without making a sound, he will build it immediately.Now that there is no shadow of things, let out the rumors, then naturally there is something to ask for.For a time, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit Quanxu."
Meet Uncle Xiu, Cheng Jingxian in She County, Xiahuizhou!""
Huizhou, Huizhou merchants?"
Quan Xu knew that during the Chenghua period, Huizhou merchants entered the field of salt industry one after another, and the Shanxi and Shaanxi merchant groups, which had always been mainly engaged in the salt industry, were severely hit, so the Huizhou merchants took the salt industry as the center and flew in the Chinese business community."
I heard that Xiu Wubo wants to build a school, Jingxian's family is not rich, and he has not saved much money, if Xiu Wubo does not dislike it, Cheng is willing to invest 60,000 taels of silver!""
Are you sure it's an investment, not a donation?"
Quan Xu knew that the businessmen of this era were almost exactly the same as later generations, and they liked to do charity to make a name for themselves, for example, in the Jinti Academy in Quanjiazhuang Town, although this college was funded and built by Quanxu, the successors almost didn't spend any money, and the businessmen who went to Quanjiazhuang Town to do business invariably donated money to Jinti Academy.The most are three or five thousand taels, and the few are one or two hundred taels, or even dozens of taels of silver.Some donate pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and some donate Confucian shirts, shoes and socks, and even mutton, chicken, and so on.Quan Xu understands their approach, the scholars of this era are equivalent to the big V of later generations, who take people's hands short, eat people's soft mouths, and take the benefits of businessmen, so they will naturally help those businessmen say good things.This is how the Donglin Party started, behind them are the landlords and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, in fact, the merchants contribute the most money, more than the gentry and hao.Cheng Jingxian smiled slightly: "If Uncle Xiu Wubo asks Cheng to donate, then Cheng will donate, let Cheng become a shareholder, then Cheng will become a shareholder!"
”"Liaoning University, which is expected to cover an area of 1,500 acres, is divided into four colleges: the College of Engineering, the School of Machinery, the School of Commerce, and the College of Liberal Arts!"
Quan Xu took a rendering printed out from the computer, put it in front of Cheng Jingxian and said: "Liaoning University will be built on this scale, how about you take 60,000 taels of silver and account for 10% of the shares?"
”"Ishei is too little!"
Cheng Jingxian said with a smile: "The price of land in southern Liaoning is cheap, even if Xiu Wubo buys shares in the land, this 1,500 acres of land is not worth a few dollars, and Cheng Mou has 60,000 taels of silver, at least 30% of the shares!"
”Quanxu is an emerging force, with a strong grain production capacity, sea salt production capacity, steel production capacity, and a large part of the resources, following Quanxu to do business, Cheng Jingxian feels that he will definitely make money.For this reason, he broke away from the Huizhou merchant alliance in the south of the Yangtze River, separated from his brother Cheng Jingzong, left Huizhou with 120,000 taels of silver, and arrived in southern Liaoning in early March.At this time, spring ploughing is going on in southern Liaoning, and in 15 counties in the four prefectures of Haizhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, and Jinzhou, they are intensively reclaiming wasteland and buying land; because this year started earlier than last year, and the manpower is nearly 10 times more than last year, this year's land reclamation is no less than 1 million mu, and with the production capacity of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, at least tens of millions of stone grain can be produced.To have food means to have everything.This place in southern Liaoning will attract more people this year, for example, most of the displaced people who arrived last year have their own homes, although they are still wearing tattered clothes, but they rarely have food, obviously, their life is good.The shops located in the business district are also patronized by ordinary people, and they also have a lot of purchasing power."
Thirty percent is too much!"
Quan Xu shook his head and said: "Yicheng, you can't add more, if you don't want to, you can do it yourself!"
”Jeon Wook's attitude is very tough.Cheng Jingxian said with a smile: "Uncle Xiu, if you want to build a school, you naturally need teachers, right?"
Cheng said a certain word, I can find you one hundred and eighty talents in Jiangnan and let them come over as teachers, I want thirty percent of the shares, but in fact, it is not much.Cheng's family assets operate pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Cheng also bears this part of the expenses!
