Chapter 1304 Successful Policy

Of course Zhao Shizhen admitted that Daqin's army was unrivaled in training, but he still had doubts.

"We can imitate the firearms of the Europa people and improve on this basis. What if the foreign domain can also do it?"

He raised such doubts about Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun patted him on the shoulder.

"Chang Ji, you have to have confidence in our own people."

If imitation is such a simple matter, the so-called technology generation gap will lose the meaning of existence, and there are too many differences between the success of imitation, the success of installation, and the display of combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

First of all, from successful imitation to successful installation, imitation is of course not very difficult. Some technologies in this era can be obtained only by hard work and a large number of summaries. The development of science and technology has not yet reached the point where imitation cannot catch up. The Hongyi cannon and flintlock were successfully imitated and installed.

However, if the imitation is successful, it means that the installation is successful. In the original history, Zhao Shizhen successfully imitated the Lumi gun and summed up his experience. However, until the Ming Dynasty perished decades later, the Ming army could not be equipped with Lumi. This kind of flintlock gun.

What is the reason?

It is easy to imitate only one gun, but at least thousands of flintlocks are required for installation. Putting it in the current Daqin, it will take two years to do it. All are good.

Between successful imitation and successful installation, the central government with strong executive power needs to invest a lot of money and scientific research personnel to ensure that each step of the personal imitation link is simplified to the extent that mass production can be achieved, because mass production and individual meticulous craftsmanship Cutting is a completely different concept.

The more mass production is required, the operation must be almost a fool's operation, the simpler the better, even in links such as military products, it must be as simple and simplified as possible, which involves a series of talent issues. Spending issues.

People are needed, money is needed.

Since the Burmese period, Xiao Ruxun has invested a lot of money in the development of military innovation and production. During the three years in Burma, he has invested more than 40 taels of silver every year, and earned from doing business with Europeans and businessmen from Southeast Asian countries. A considerable part of the money has been invested in it.

After the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the fiscal revenue became more abundant. Although the expenditure was also greater, Xiao Ruxun still guaranteed that at least 60 taels of silver could be invested in the innovation and creation of the military industry every year. As for other expenses, it goes without saying. , 100 million taels a year is not too much.

With such high-level investment, Daqin's military industry has flourished, especially the smelting technology and forging technology have made great progress, and the refined steel has become more and more beautiful. It is not the first time that Zhao Shizhen has praised Xiao Ruxun How their smelting masters worked hard to study smelting technology.

Xiao Ruxun has never been stingy with the rewards and benefits of these people. With so much money invested every year, there are also many rewards for the main technical personnel.

In the Great Qin Dynasty, Xiao Ruxun abolished the untouchable system, artisan households, military households, medical households and other systems, allowing them to circulate freely. At the same time, through the state rules and regulations, some technicians who mastered important technologies were registered and registered, and officials were given benefits.

According to the level of technology and the degree of contribution, relative treatment is given to third-rank officials to ninth-rank officials. There are hundreds of craftsmen who receive official treatment in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Military Industry in Daqin.

It is these people who broke through the process of proposing a technology from conception to successful application in mass production and assembly.

They kept in mind Xiao Ruxun's goal and the direction Xiao Ruxun proposed, and worked hard in this direction, and achieved considerable results.

Even the concept of the steam engine that Xiao Ruxun casually mentioned, and a little description of the principle of the steam engine, unexpectedly several craftsmen kept it in mind.

When Xiao Ruxun went to inspect it before, he was surprised to find that several craftsmen were tinkering with the steam engine. They made it look good, and even Xiao Ruxun couldn't understand some important parts.

The ancestors were not stupid than modern people, they just lacked the time and conditions.

These people, Xiao Ruxun, did not allow strangers to contact them, because they mastered technologies that were important to Daqin, which especially restricted their external communication. They also signed a confidentiality treaty, willing to keep their secrets and not communicate with strangers.

To be honest, as long as some of the core technologies they have mastered are not obtained, you can imitate and try, and if you can successfully mass-produce and install them within ten years, I will lose.

Ten years later, are you sure those craftsmen will not be poached by Daqin?Are you sure your country will be safe and sound?
Daqin's improved bird gun production technology, the production technology of Fran's machine gun and red cannon, and the research on Weiyuan's general gun and flower bombs, which one is not the result of countless craftsmen working day and night to study and experiment?

When you say mass production and assembly, do you mean mass production and assembly?
There is a big difference between a small country and a big country in terms of size, administrative level and regime strength. The capital investment is even more different, and the emphasis on craftsmen is far less than that of Daqin.

When the craftsmen of Daqin learned that they would be able to receive official benefits after the establishment of Daqin, they all cried and screamed like demons.

It will be even more so after they get real money, real silk cloth and oily rice noodle meat, and live in the new house provided by Xiao Ruxun.

For thousands of years, craftsmen never even dreamed that they could live in such a bright and bright courtyard, eat meat, drink alcohol, have silver flowers, and have such treatment.

Then Xiao Ruxun announced that they would give their descendants the right to freely choose a profession, and they immediately said——what choice do you want?I have eaten this bowl of rice for generations, and I have no choice!
She didn't even want to drive them away, so Xiao Ruxun knew that her policy was successful, she retained talents, and prevented them from being scattered among the people and causing harm to Daqin.

At the same time, Xiao Ruxun also ordered the local governments to widely collect craftsmen with special skills from the people, and no matter what skills they were, they should be recommended to the central government to try them out.

The determination to buy horse bones with thousands of dollars to recruit all the technical talents in Daqin really allowed him to get a batch of Maxima.

All kinds of technologies, some can provide military support, some can provide support in agriculture, and some can provide support in engineering. This wave of actions by Xiao Ruxun let some officials in Daqin know what is called talent In folk.

After all, the base is large, and the probability of producing talents is also high, but folk talents are not endless, and talents cultivated by ourselves are endless.

With such an idea in mind, Xiao Ruxun also proposed the idea of ​​setting up a specialized technical school to train his own technicians, summarize and learn technologies, and cultivate talents who can contribute to Daqin's road to modern industrialization.
