On the appointed day, Yuzai gathered people from all the factories in the big square near the big ironworks, the east and west factories, the textile factory, the car factory, the printing factory, the explosion factory, the big mill... people were overwhelmed. People gathered together, each carrying a small stool or sitting on the floor.
Originally, they just wanted to carry out a simple mobilization for the employees of the iron smelting plant, but after something happened to the people in Sanmiao, Yu Zai changed his mind and began to update the policy. He thought that since the policy changed next, then The direction of future production and work of all factory personnel has also changed, so they might as well hold a conference.
Ruanzai raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
All the big leaders have been invited, and the people gathered here are really the real "working class."
Although this word was said in ancient times, it just gave Yu Zai a feeling of confusion in time and space.
After the crowd's voices gradually subsided, Yu Zai began to speak, and brought two boards. The first board was large, with wooden signs hanging on it, and filled with various policies of Hongzhou. The second piece is a blank wooden board, which should be used for drawing pictures.
So someone saw it clearly and whispered below:
"These are things you can see as soon as you enter the old oil shop. What are hung on those boards are various social and people's livelihood cognitions and opinions. Various policies are written on these boards. When you want to use them, Just hang the front of the sign on the empty spaces in the middle.”
Yu Zai heard the voice and immediately answered: "That's right! These are Hongzhou's decrees and measures. They are hung in the middle with wooden signs just to see them more clearly. In fact, we still have many supporting documents. Now that we have paper, we no longer need to use heavy oracle bones and bamboo slices to carve and write."
Everyone also praised the contribution of paper, but some people expressed concerns because paper is afraid of water, but oracle bones and bamboo slices are not.
Yu Zai smiled: "This worry is also correct. You are right. Although paper is light, it is afraid of water and fire. Oracle bones are not afraid of water and fire, but the information they can carry is limited. Paper is not afraid of bending, while oracle bones are afraid of bending. Zhe, every thing in this world has what it is afraid of and corresponding means of restraint."
"In ancient times, people lived in stone caves and carved images of gods on rock cliffs. Thirty thousand years ago, people in Shuigou Cave worshiped the sun god. Of course, in today's era, they have migrated away. Perhaps they have all perished, and the sun god has also disappeared and is no longer circulated in today's myths."
"People today cannot see the sun and moon of ancient times, but the sun and moon of ancient times still shine on people today."
"People 30,000 years ago used simple drawings to convey information. They were able to carve rock paintings of the Sun God, which shows that they already knew how to organize information and how to use information to exchange knowledge."
"Their age is older than the Wulong Clan and the Three Ancient Emperors. Before the Wulong Clan, we all know that this world already had complete writing, and some places had broken away from the simple knotting of records and pictures to communicate. "
What Yu Zai is talking about is the Jiahu Oracle Bones. About 9,000 years ago, an oracle bone inscription was unearthed in Henan, the Central Plains. This oracle bone inscription was written by the Jiahu people 9,000 years ago. It is engraved with the inscriptions known in the world. There are a total of seventeen ancient characters, and among the seventeen ancient characters, the first character should be "mu".
Therefore, oracle bone inscriptions did not only appear in the Shang Dynasty, but existed in an extremely long time ago. It is just that there are very few characters and there has not been a lot of development.
After Yu Zai said this, he asked the workers:
"What I want to say is, what have the changes in productivity brought about? In the past 30,000 years, since the Shuigou Cave people carved the first drawings, to now, various factories have been established and developed in our land. , up to now, what different contributions has it made to the development of Hongzhou as a whole?"
"The people from the paper mill should talk first."
Yu Zai's words were like dropping a stone in a calm lake, asking people in various factories to "praise" themselves first.
Soon someone from the paper mill came forward:
"Just as the big leader said, with the advent of paper, people no longer have to spend a lot of effort carving stones, or carving oracle bones, and holding a lot of bamboo pieces. The writing and dissemination of knowledge has become more It’s so fast. I won’t talk about anything else, but the current literacy rate in Hongzhou. Now almost even five- or six-year-old children can write Shennong’s “Song of Harvest Years” in its entirety.”
The people in the paper mill praised themselves and said that they had played a role in the spread of knowledge, but the people in the printing house were not happy and came out to refute, saying that without them to proofread and print, these papers would be nothing more than beautiful sheets of bamboo and linen.
When the printing factory came out, some people were not happy. The people in the forestry factory said that it was their contribution to growing raw materials; the people in the car factory said that they improved their vehicles, so they could send large amounts of paper to various places efficiently; the people in the farm factory said that it was because they had improved their vehicles. People said that without them growing food, these people would have no time to study vehicles, so this again involved the peasant class...
Yu Zai heard the voices coming and going below, and when they had finished talking, they asked everyone to be quiet again.
"You are all right. You have already concluded it yourself. The development of everything is related. Only when you are full can you think of doing other things. In ancient times, craftsmen were usually the leaders because the leaders did not lack food and drink. , so I have the time to think about other things.”
"So, how do you hand a volume of books to a child in school?"
Yu Zai sorted and analyzed them:
"First of all, farmers collect fertilizer and send it to forestry factories, and millers send food to ensure that factory project workers will not go hungry."
"Then, when the people in the forestry factory have enough food and drink, and with fertilizers, they will plant bamboo and hemp. Some of the bamboo and hemp grown will be given to the textile factory, which will make the bamboo and hemp into thread. A portion of the bulk will be given to the paper mill."
"Then, the paper mill starts processing and manufacturing. When the paper is finished, it has to be handed over to the printing factory for acceptance."
"After acceptance, these papers will be printed with words and proofread. Afterwards, the textile factory will send threads, the ironworks will send nails, and the hunting team will send book covers. After a series of bindings, It is placed on a transport vehicle manufactured by the car factory, and finally arrives at the school and is handed over to a child."
After Yu Zai finished speaking, he looked at the thoughtful expressions of the people below and smiled:
"Look, in fact, what seems to be a very simple job actually requires the use of so many factories and technologies without even realizing it. And now, they have successfully penetrated into every aspect of our lives, like spring rain. The same, moisturizing things silently."
"In such an era, it is no longer just a monarch who can say it. Craftsmen, workers, farmers... These people, that is, you, are the ones who truly create everything. This society is a huge Machines, those of you, employees of large iron smelting plants, should have seen the huge atmospheric steam moving, heavy and slow, but the parts it requires, without precision processing technology and superb dewaxing methods , it cannot be manufactured at all.”
"In this era, everyone should let themselves learn more useful professional knowledge. This kind of intangible wealth and technology is the primary productive force!"
Yuzai finally got to the point of his lecture.
"The supply of food and the emergence of fertilizers allowed hemp and bamboo to be planted and applied on a large scale. After a series of technological changes, finally, the technical power represented by paper and printing spread knowledge to every inch of soil in this world."
"Iron is made from copper, and copper is made from pottery. People know that fire can melt objects, and making a kiln can increase the temperature."
"The gunpowder and chemistry that you are now familiar with come from the alchemists among the Qi Refiners. Of course, these people can make anything except elixirs... ."
Yuzai began to draw graphics on another bulletin board.
From the use of [Fire] as the starting point, the following is like roots, densely packed. With the hand speed of Sun Zai who has been single for many years, a complete technological map is gradually obtained.
People stopped talking and looked at the picture drawn by Yu Zai in shock. Yu Zai finally put down his pen and told everyone that this was the "technology tree" that started with fire!
All progress of people is based on the continuous improvement of technological capabilities!
"Now Hongzhou has accumulated enough basic technical capabilities. Next, the work direction of each factory must be adjusted correctly."
Yu Zai turned to the first wooden board and hung four signs in the middle. This was a major policy for the next five to ten years.
The first one is [Creation and Innovation].
First of all, all types of craftsmen are encouraged to think and create. If there is a correct idea and it is recommended by more than five people, it will be recorded in the factory where they work, and finally reported to Laoyoufang. If the idea is accepted by Laoyoufang, then the craftsmen will In exchange for five pigs, ten large bags of grain, two barrels of rapeseed oil, and a jar of wine, the children will be exempted from school tuition and will be funded by the public for ten years, as well as a steel medal as a reward, and this incident will be detailed. written in history books.
The crowd suddenly became noisy, as if a pot was exploding.
The first two are important, but the last two, especially the last one, are even more important! Leaving a name in history is something that everyone has been thinking about since history books were created.
Thousands of years from now, their descendants will recite their names in schools!
The craftsmen immediately became excited.
The second one is [Civil Engineering].
It’s easy to understand. It looks like a plan to build a wonder. However, Yuzai said this time that what needs to be built is roads, bridges and other long-term construction projects. This is an old job in the past and has always been done by labor reform prisoners. Construction is carried out, but now, some precision work, such as bridges, requires craftsmen to start planning for it.
Yu Zai told everyone that the second wave of major construction era is coming. Now we should make various types of planning. When Hongzhou completely absorbs the people of Sanmiao and the two lands become one, this era will come. This is also Lay the foundation for the policy of the third wooden sign.
The third one is [urbanization].
The so-called city means city-state in ancient times. It is different from the name of a country today. A huge urban center is established and then towns are distributed around it. This will be carried out by any political system when the time comes. The only difference is that Yu Zai took the initiative to make this change at this time.
A state is a small country with few people, and urbanization is actually a precursor to the beginning of centralization. As long as Hongzhou completes urbanization first, the Central Plains will definitely follow. In this way, more tribes can be attracted to settle. Around the city, a huge production system is formed.
Of course, the drawback is that it may lead to the creation of a "family world" system.
The fourth one caused some controversy when it was hung up.
[Supplementary transformation].
This article refers to those Sanmiao people and how to place prisoners of war and reform-through-labor prisoners. For the group of Sanmiao people with technical capabilities, targeted screening can be carried out so that they will not undergo labor reform within five years. Each factory will accept them to make up for the shortage of manpower. Hongzhou citizens in any factory are not allowed to insult or discriminate. At the same time, these people will be ideologically reformed. If they achieve results within five years, the labor reformers can be cancelled. identity and become a true citizen.
The people in the factory were slightly resistant to this, but it was not very intense. They just felt that if these craftsmen were brought in, it would not have any impact on them, the old craftsmen.
Without it, just familiarity with your hands.
In addition to factories, other types, such as those strong warriors, will also be accepted. If they are willing to enter Hongzhou to fight and become Hongzhou citizens, then they will be given a "recruit training" lasting from three months to six months. .
For this group of people, Yu Zai planned to let them obtain military medals to resolve their status as reform-through-labor prisoners. He also promised that if they made meritorious deeds, they would receive military medals and be remembered in history.
It's like playing a level. Obtaining a material can unlock your own set of shackles.
Of course, if they are unwilling to fight, they will be sent to engineering teams and collective farms to carry out infrastructure construction and agricultural production. The difference between reform-through-labor prisoners and normal builders and farmers is that if they deliberately damage production tools, Then they are required to pay compensation, which will be deducted from their wages, and all seven members of the labor reform team who work collectively will be punished.
In this regard, for normal producers, if the equipment is damaged during the normal production process, the damage will be reimbursed by the public property.
Yu Zai believes that if you want to quickly increase the population base of Hongzhou and obtain a large number of producers and explorers, you can only start with these captives and assimilate them in a short period of time to supplement the gap in Hongzhou's population. In this period, as the saying goes, identity recognition is the highest recognition, and it has nothing to do with region.
For example, in ancient times, Xin Qiji was born in the Jin Kingdom but his heart was in the Song Dynasty. Since ancient times, China has had a distinction between Yi and Xia... but there are two sides of openness and closure to the outside world, and the open side is the mainstream. The distinction between Yi and Xia It is based on the division of literature and Ye... Therefore, Yi and Xia should also be able to change each other.
So Yu Zai thought of another thing. After the mobilization, he asked Hongchao to go to the school and sent a topic for the children to discuss.
The title of the question is "The Debate between Hong and Miao, the Identity of the World and the Country, Region and Culture".
