Nie Mao walked on the road, looking at the yellow leaves on the trees on the roadside, breathing the wet and fresh air in the morning, and felt a little nervous. He was from Henan Prefecture, Xijing, and had a shop at home, doing some small business. Because he had many brothers, his family was not well off. After studying in a private school for a few years, he really felt that it was not a material for fame and fortune in poetry and books, so he went back to the shop to help, and life was going to live day by day.

That day, when Nie Mao collected the accounts, he was suddenly stopped by a friend and said to him: "A iron prison is built in Ye County, and I don't know how many people it will be used. These days, the nearby states recruit people who read and read. Brother can read and write, so why not apply for the recruitment?"

Nie Mao returned home and said that his parents, who were worried about their second son's marriage, had inquired about the fact that there was something wrong. After reading the list article in person, he asked Nie Mao to apply for the recruitment. When he arrived at the place, an official took a few books and took the exam to read the book and read the book. Nie Mao came here with a few fellow villagers.

After three days of coming, I saw the surrounding environment and started class today. Nie Mao didn't know what to teach, but he was confused and separated from his fellow villagers. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

I don’t know what the people in the Iron Prison liked me, and they were different from the other people who came with me. Nie Mao went to this place alone and learned what kind of detection and image recognition are. What is this? Nie Mao didn’t know. What will happen in the future? Nie Mao didn’t know yet. Others are learning to settle accounts and manage people. They will at least be a foreman in the future. They are all responsible for people. What will they manage in the future?

Before I knew it, I arrived at the place of study and saw a young official standing outside the door, wearing his official uniform. Nie Mao hurried forward to salute.

Tao Shiqi looked at Nie Mao up and down, flipped over the list in his hand, asked his name, and said, "How many years have you been studying?"

Nie Mao said respectfully: "I have been studying for three years. I have been reading it for three years. I can recognize all the commonly used characters and recite some poems. In recent years, I have been working at home shops, keeping accounts and collecting accounts, and writing and calculating."

Tao Shiqi nodded and said, "Let's choose a seat inside. You'll be here later. We'll give a lecture."

Nie Maoyingnuo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Officials, don't know what to teach? What to do in the future?"

Tao Shiqi said: "We are different from other places here. We teach how to measure and measure the things made in the factory in front. Whether they do well or not depends on your measurement in the future, you will know naturally."

Nie Mao nodded, but was still confused. He straightened the door and saw that there were tables and benches inside. He chose a place to sit against the wall. There was a blackboard on the wall in front of the house, and I don’t know how to make it. It was a big piece of flat and pitch black. There was a table in front, and there was no thick books piled up in the classroom, which looked a little weird. Without a pile of books there, why did it look like you were doing academic research?

Tao Shiqi stood at the door, watching the red sun slowly rise in the distance. The Iron Supervisor has been recruiting people for several months. Two or three hundred people came to Tang, Deng, Ru, Cai and other prefectures and Henan Prefectures. Among them, there were seven failed Jinshi, most of whom were poor from families. They went to Beijing for two exams and could no longer afford to make trouble. They were in a similar situation as Du Xun, who failed the exams back then. The others had been to private schools for a few years and could only read and write.

This area has developed commercial business, many shops, and many people in the city to learn, so it is impossible to let them do research. It is hard to write and calculate. It is all iron smelting, but the production and organizational model of the iron supervisor is different from other places in this era. Everything has to start from scratch. Tao Shiqi has been with Du Zhongxiao for many years, and has learned a lot of things, so the heavy responsibility of training falls on his shoulders. How to do this? In fact, Tao Shiqi can't explain it clearly. Anyway, according to Du Zhongxiao's instructions, learn while learning, and learn in practice.

Large-scale production is different from small workshops, highlighting the importance of testing. Only when the testing is done well can we get rid of the dependence on the personal experience of craftsmen, formulate appropriate production standards, and produce qualified products.

Tao Shiqi and the six people selected from the early days learned some time with Du Zhongxiao, probably knowing what was going on. But now he has neither experience nor tools nor systematic theoretical knowledge. He started from scratch and everything is being explored.

What to use to measure the length? Du Zhongxiao's energy is effective, and he is only guiding the making of a tape ruler, a ruler, or a precise vernier caliper. He only has an impression and cannot be made. He can only give it to Tao Shiqi and tell him a concept, so that he can teach others and learners together.

For example, when measuring the diameter of a circle, there is neither a caliper nor a micrometer, how to measure it? Take a circle of the tape measure, measure the circumference and then divide the pi to calculate it? According to the blessing of ancient Chinese mathematicians, the pi is already accurate enough at this time, but it is not accurate to measure it.

As for other essential roundness, straightness, etc. in mechanical manufacturing, there is no way to start.

Thinking of these, Tao Shiqi felt a headache. He felt comfortable doing things by himself, but he was not good at these theoretical things. However, no one under Du Zhongxiao was able to use them, so he had to drive the ducks to put them on the shelves.

Those who came here to learn, except for the three booklets compiled in Qingtai Town, have compiled some booklets in each industry. It was just very crude and simple, but when it came to the teaching process, they had to take students to study and slowly add content. Tao Shiqi sometimes suspected that teaching was useless and could lead to some results. In the past ten, it was when it was really used, but it still couldn't understand and asked people to explore slowly.

Du Zhongxiao had no choice. He was the judge of Jingxi Road Transportation, not the Iron Supervision Bureau. How much time can he stay here? He could only create a framework first to let others slowly fill it in. In fact, it is more than just a test, and everything in the Iron Supervision Bureau is like this now. You can study the specific technical issues with Su Song slowly. There is only a big concept of the production and management of the Iron Supervision Bureau, and it depends on practitioners to learn it themselves.

When everything started, Du Zhongxiao was working hard to borrow money and wanted to give such good conditions to those who worked in the Iron Supervision Bureau. Why? He had no choice but to follow the mass line, mobilize all his strength, learn in practice, and improve the Iron Supervision Bureau as soon as possible.

Not only managers and technicians, but also front-line production personnel also studied every day during this period. After Dai Dujian arrived, the Iron Supervisor had sufficient manpower and now he was engaged in infrastructure construction during the day and group study at night. Every three days, there was still half a day of concentrated learning to focus on the problems encountered in learning, and work together to find solutions. This is not only a learning process, but also a training process.

In the yamen, Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but frown when he listened to Liu Wei's final expenses. Nowadays, thousands of people spend their money every day like flowing water, but the food and grass are just a big number, and the little money earned by the farming responsibilities can no longer hold on.

After reporting the expenses, Liu Wei said: "Now there are thousands of people in the Iron Prison, and the daily food is a big number. The white flour can no longer be eaten, and the Transportation Department will no longer transfer grain from other prefectures and counties. It can only urge several places in Tangzhou to collect the crops in the fields as soon as possible and transfer rice."

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's autumn, and there are not many days when new rice comes down, so it should be able to provide benefits. You should still ask other prefectures and counties to see where there is surplus grain. In a few days, the money from Jiangnan Road will be shipped over, but don't have money to buy rice, so that the rice price will rise."

After hearing this, Liu Wei was excited and said, "When I talked about the Yun Jue, I remembered that the money allocated by the court was about to arrive. Yesterday, the official document said that the ship carrying the money had passed Xiangzhou and went up the river, and soon arrived in Tangzhou."

After hearing this, Du Zhongxiao stood up excitedly and said, "With money, everything is easy to do! 500,000 yuan in hand can be used for a long time. Now we have no shortage of manpower. If we can build it ourselves, we don't have to use it for a fake job, and we can save a lot!"

Liu Wei said with a bitter face: "However, the official document that came also said that Raozhou Copper Supervisor used the wet method of copper smelting for transportation and judgment. Now that there are more copper, there are many irons to be used. When the ship that transports copper coins this time, they have to load iron back to smelting copper. Now that the stove has not been built, where can we transport the iron back for them?"

Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he said: "The 500,000 guan was allocated by the inner warehousing to build the Iron Supervision. If the iron is transported back, the copper supervisor will have to exchange it for money. Otherwise, why should people give them the iron produced?"

Liu Wei said: "The Copper Supervisor has already thought of this, so he has sent more than 10,000 yuan to get the iron back."

Du Zhongxiao thought in his mind that the Yizheng copper coins weighed more than five kilograms, and ten thousand jin of 10,000 jin of copper. Based on twenty cents per jin of iron, you can buy 500,000 jin of iron. Iron and copper are about 10 to one price, and it seems that he is not losing money.
