Infrastructure masters in the red building

Huohuanbu is actually asbestos cloth, and asbestos is a kind of mineral. The ore is crushed and split into flocs, which can be used for weaving. The woven cloth has the miraculous effect of fire prevention and heat insulation.

After weaving asbestos cloth in ancient times, people found that this kind of cloth is not afraid of fire at all, and can be thrown in the fire to remove the dirt on the surface of the cloth, so it was named "Huohuanbu".

Earlier, when Jia Fang saw the workers working shirtless, he was a little frightened.Later, when I heard that someone died from burns, Yi started thinking about getting the protective clothing out.The simplest and easiest protective clothing he can think of is clothes made of asbestos cloth, and a mask made of quartz glass can be considered.

Just when he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered a stubble: asbestos is a carcinogen, especially after inhaling asbestos dust and depositing in the lungs, it is easy to cause lung lesions.

This means that the protective clothing material he just came up with was immediately negated—the hazards brought by asbestos are mainly aimed at workers who mine asbestos mines and do asbestos processing.In order to protect one group of people, sacrifice the health of another group of people.Whether this is a proper and fair approach, to be honest, Jia Fang doesn't know.

He helped Shui Xian to lie down on the couch, then he frowned and pondered alone, after pondering for a long time, he found that Shui Xian was lying on the couch, also staring at him intently for a long time.

"What are the disadvantages, let me tell you about them?" Shui Xian comforted him gently, his eyes seemed to say, if you have any troubles, at least don't bear them alone.

Jia Fang let out a "huh" and expressed his own thinking, and finally added: "The problem with using fire raccoon cloth is not only the harm to mining, weaving and users, but also the harm to the environment. Those asbestos Tiny fibers will always remain in the environment..."

Shui Xian never thought that Jia Fang would pay attention to the damage to the "environment".

He listened to Jia Fang's detailed explanation, thought for a while, and then came back to his senses, and said to Jia Fang: "You mean, if we only consider our own needs, in the future, the green hills will no longer be green hills, and the green water will not be green. Is it green water again?"

Jia Fang gave him a thumbs up: "The summary is very good."

But Jia Fang immediately turned his frown and said: "That is to say, what should be chosen between the environment, the safety and health of workers, and the establishment and development of our industry."

Human society has gone through many detours and laid many hidden dangers. Jia Fang always thought that he could avoid it when it happened to him, but when the matter came to him, he still hesitated.

But Shuixian immediately made a decision: "Send people to find asbestos mines. When mining, think of all possible ways to avoid dust from the ore, wear protective gear for the workers, and let them stand at the upper wind or into a cave. Gufeng. Even if there is the kind of dust you mentioned, try to stay in that cave."

"The protective clothing made of Huohuanbu can only be worn for three hours a day, and you must rest five days a month..."

"Zifang, the disease you mentioned... huh? How long does it take?"

"It's 'cancer', ranging from 50 to [-] years." Jia Fang replied.

"If it's 50 years... I can tell you that these people don't know how many years they can live for another 50 years. Even I may not be able to." Shui Xian said, "Life is seventy years old. Years, is the rare years... I never thought that I could live to that time smoothly..."

Jia Fang quickly covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense."

But it is also true: what asbestos brings is long-term chronic damage, but without protection, the damage caused in the smelting field is instant and fatal.

He had seen a report before, discussing why cancer gradually became an important and common disease of human beings in the middle and late twentieth century.Because before that, the life expectancy of human beings is not so long, and at the same time, they are also facing various other diseases that have not been overcome, and human beings are still vulnerable.

And all the efforts they are making now, all the efforts of industrialization, are to let the people around them, and the future generations, live a long life and live a happy and happy life.Even if the result is satisfactory, is the sacrifice of one generation or even several generations worth it?

How to balance?What to choose and what to give up? ——Jia Fang feels that he thinks too much, but as a modern person, these are things he has to think about.

Shui Xian also took his hand and said: "In the future, we will also write a "Asbestos Handbook" and "Huohuanbu Handbook" to tell future generations that we have considered various hazards, but after weighing the pros and cons, we will They no longer have to live such a dangerous and hard life, and will use this material as much as possible to control and avoid future troubles."

"I hope they understand!" Shui Xian finally said.

Jia Fang thought for a while, nodded, and said, "You're right. When people develop other alternatives later, they will abandon this potentially harmful material. But at this stage, we can't give up. , I can only try my best to have no impact."

There are still some substitutes for asbestos, but asbestos cloth is the simplest one. Only with the help of asbestos cloth and the development of modern industry can the substitutes for asbestos cloth be successfully produced. Like a nesting doll?

After temporarily solving the problem of the century, Shui Xian asked Jia Fang again: "Why are you so popular in Taoyuan Village?"

Jia Fang immediately pulled his hand away: "What's the matter? Can't you?" He was a little proud, he was indeed popular in Taoyuan Village, and this kind of welcome was not only for the big girls and the little daughter-in-law, but for everyone.

"I mean, why can't I find this kind of feeling in this mine and smelter, just can't find that...symbiotic feeling. I always feel that the workers are against me everywhere, and I treat them well Well, the wages offered by this mine and smelter are probably the highest in the north of the Yellow River. But they still have a lot of dissatisfaction. How can they be like the people in your Taoyuan Village, who can do all the work and pay attention? Satisfied?"

Jia Fang immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's really not that easy for you!"

Shui Xian: ...

Jia Fang Surong: "Because in Taoyuan Village, I divided up the land. Whether it is farming or setting up factories, all the means of production are privately owned by them-they are working for themselves, and I only need a little help. A little bit, and they're happy."

Shui Xian: "No way, you all..."

Jia Fang nodded: "It's all mine in name, but I divided them all out, and I didn't let them pay the land rent separately, but they would pay a little son's commercial tax when they bought and sold. Naturally, they felt that the land It's theirs, I'm just a distributor."

Shui Xian nodded: "I see." He probably understood what Jia Fang meant by "means of production".

"But in your case, the means of production are all yours, and they are complete migrant workers. Naturally, they don't think you are so good."

Shui Xian narrowed his eyes, thinking about the meaning of these words.

However, Jia Fang knew that once the process of the industrial revolution started, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat would inevitably form and grow, and the confrontation and contradiction between the two classes would be inevitable.It’s just that at this initial stage, as long as Shuixian avoids wantonly exploiting workers’ surplus value, then these contradictions can be avoided to a certain extent.

"But it's impossible for me to distribute my property to them!" Shui Xian thought for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Unless it's dry stocks."

Jia Fang stretched out his thumb: "Congratulations, you have enlightened."

Shui Xian learned without a teacher, and even realized the equity incentive plan.Jia Fang was very satisfied with his understanding.

"In this factory and mine, you can use the mine and land as the equity capital, and the equity capital when the factory is built as the initial capital injection, and then subdivide these equity capital into many shares. For important managers and outstanding employees, you can divide the dry shares. give them……"

Jia felt relieved: There is no stock exchange market here, and it is a pity that the employees can't come up with a cool story such as doubling the valuation several times after taking the shares.

"...The dry stocks they keep in their hands can receive regular dividends, and they can also leave them to future generations. As long as the business of this factory is good, the dry stocks in their hands are valuable."

Shui Xian had already fully understood: "So in order to make the dry stocks in their hands more valuable, they worked harder and harder. Yes, you!"

Jia Fang blushed a little, thinking: Is this also a way to solve labor-management conflicts after all?

"The other thing is to take care of them as much as possible. For example, I saw that the workers lived in the dormitories nearby on weekdays, and they could only go home once in a while. Those who have families and houses are not familiar with each other. They gave birth to a fake child, and it took three months for everyone to find out that they had been cheated?"

"I'm wondering if you can consider letting the workers live in the surrounding villages. They travel between the mine, the smelting field and their homes every day."

Shui Xian raised his head and asked, "Isn't it a waste of time on this journey?"

Jia Fang asked back: "Isn't there a track?"

The workers were detained in the dormitory, and the workers only thought that the boss was trying to save time.But if the workers live in the surrounding villages, the boss sends cars to pick them up, and even repairs the track, what the workers think is different.

Shui Xian burst out laughing with a "ha", clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes! Why didn't I think of that?"

"Besides, it is to engage in some small competitions and assessments, and let them feel that there is a possibility of upward promotion. For example, now that everyone needs to pay attention to safe production, then we will hold a safety production competition. If there is no accident, the whole team has the possibility of promotion..."

Jia Fang searched his brains to recall what other tricks he had seen before: "You can also engage in some cultural and sports activities in your spare time, such as our Taoyuan Village held antiphonal songs, the villagers wrote and acted by themselves, and there is also a Cuju league. Have you ever played Cuju? , I have a whole set of new rules here..."

Shui Xian: "Cuju? Isn't cuju purely for performance? The kind of heading and juggling?"

Jia Fang shook his head: "No...the eldest prince said the same thing back then, but he was still killed by my subordinates..."

The two talked and talked, and they talked all night.Jia Fang was finally sleepy, propped his forehead with his hands, and fell asleep beside Shui Xian's pillow.

Shui Xian looked at his side face, sighed silently, and said in his heart: "I know you want to go back to Taoyuan Village, and the day to send you back is not far away. But be careful."

Unexpectedly, before Jia Fang left Xiaoyuan Industrial Zone and returned to the capital, he did one more thing for Shui Xian—to inspect the winter wheat, sugar beet and Chinese cabbage grown in the land here.

Originally, Jia Fang thought about the Xiaoyuan industrial base, where the mountains were full of mineral deposits and the ground was full of oil, but he soon discovered that outside the industrial parks developed by Shuixian, there are large tracts of land.

Jia Fang: Now we must pay more attention to the protection of water resources and land resources, and prevent pollution from heavy metals and other substances.

Most of these fields are planted with winter wheat, and there is also a piece of spring wheat as the main crop further north.In addition, Jia Fang discovered that sugar beets have been planted here, and there is a handmade sugar process, but because there is no decolorization process, the sugar is darker than brown sugar, and it does not have the sweet flavor of sucrose.

That's the case, making sugar from beets by hand is quite popular in the local area. Although this kind of sugar doesn't look very good, it is still cheaper than malt sugar, and more people can afford it.

Jia Fang then told Shuixian: "I will bring you a copy of the industrial sugar production process when I go back this time. Now that you have these materials, you will be able to make sugar production equipment soon. When the time comes White sugar is like white snow, without any impurities, and its sweetness is no lower than that of handmade sugar.”

"But I have a request. The few local sugar makers still want to ask you to give them a way out."

In the future, once industrial white sugar is continuously produced, these artisanal sugar workshops will be hit immediately.That's why Jia Fang let Tian's father and son of Hongxiang Sugar Factory make handmade brown sugar and rock sugar in the early days, and the profit is always higher than that of ordinary brown sugar.

"I promise you," Shui Xian reassured Jia Fang, "In the future, an industrial sugar workshop will really be built, and I will invite those sugar makers to work in the workshop, and the sugar machines will be temporarily shut down during the holidays. It will be more festive to let those hand-cooked syrups and sugars show their skills in front of the common people."

Jia Fang suddenly thought of the small vendors selling maltose and candied haws, the craftsmen who blow sugar, and the craftsmen who painted sugar paintings that he had seen at the temple fair during the Chinese New Year when he was young. He couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's true. , I am relieved."

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Jia Fang was going back to Beijing, but only then did he realize that Shui Xian had no plans to return to Beijing.

"Treasurer Ren has returned to Beijing, and has taken care of everything in the capital for you."

"There's a stall here, I'll keep an eye on it for you first," Shui Xian said.

Jia Fang was not mentally prepared for this, and stood in front of Shui Xian for a long time, before he said: "You are here alone, does it matter?"

"Fool!" Shui Xian licked a lock of hair hanging from his sideburns for him, and said with a smile, "It's you who are really worried."

"If I stay here, at least I can keep you from worrying."

Compared with Xiaoyuan, the situation in Beijing is unclear, and others look like dragons and tigers, but Shui Xian has already found out the way for Jia Fang one by one, but he himself chooses to stay in the rear, helping Jia Fang realize what he wants to achieve at the same time silently waiting for him, unwilling to be his burden.

Jia Xin felt his tide rising and falling, not knowing what to say, but suddenly remembered something: "Without you, how should I go back? Shall I go to Jimo by boat first?"

Shui Xian shook his head, and stretched out his hand to take the string worn by Jia Fang's waist: "With it, you can return to the garden of my palace at any time. Lao Ren will wait for you there."

Jia Fang: ...Really?

It turned out that the key to open the garden of the Beijing Prince's Mansion had already been sent to him when the two met each other?Is this...fate or love?Or both?

But since the key is already in his hands, Shui Xian doesn't need to send him off, and it's time for the two to part.

Jia Fang was still a little bit reluctant to let go, but Shui Xian repeated his old trick, reached out and pressed his shoulders lightly, and then said:

"good--"

"Leave all the letters to Lao Ren, and he will arrange it."

I'll be fine—Jia whispered in her heart.

Jia Fang returned alone, and walked slowly through the aisle where he carried Shui Xian on his back when he was in a hurry that day. Ugly fish complement each other.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jia Fang's eyes suddenly lit up, his feet landed on the ground, and there was a pool of clear water in front of him.The beauty by the water is riddled with holes, all traces of iron sand.

He returned to the "Sit With Whom Pavilion", and behind him was the inscription "Who Sit With? The moon is clear and the wind is me".

Jia boldly looked around in fear—it's been more than a month, the killer shouldn't be still squatting here, right?

Unexpectedly, someone saw him in the distance and greeted him: "Mr. Jia!" He hurried over, and it was Ren Jing, the shopkeeper.

"The villain has been waiting here for a long time under the order of the prince." Shopkeeper Ren said, "I will wrong you to sit in the truck for a while."

Jia Fang: What's the matter with the truck?Unexpectedly, when he went to the warehouse in the backyard of the palace, he found that it was a truck full of straw.

Is the relationship going to be a "hidden man in the grass"?

Jia Fang hurriedly asked, "How is the situation in Beijing and China?"

Shopkeeper Ren only said: "I'll send you back to Rong Mansion first, everything has been taken care of at Rong Mansion, and we will arrange for you to enter the mansion smoothly."

Jia Fang thinks about it too: when he arrives at the Rong Mansion, naturally someone can tell him all the details.So he really honestly hid in the straw.

Shopkeeper Ren saw that he was hiding everything, Fang said: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Jia, it's really that the people from Wucheng Bingmasi are too troublesome..."

Jia Fang: People from the Wucheng Bingma Division?People from Wucheng Bingma Division check him?Shouldn't it be the assassin killer?

Unexpectedly, the people from Wucheng Bingma Division really investigated him.The coachman arranged by shopkeeper Ren drove away from the small street where the Beijing Prince's Mansion is located. He was stopped by someone. After careful investigation, he finally asked: "If your lord comes back, and Jia Fang comes back, let's say Shuntian Mansion Send them to court for questioning."

Jia Fang lay in the straw pile, holding his breath, but he really didn't want to understand, it has been more than a month, what the third prince, his Ministry of punishment, and the five city soldiers and horses have been busy with.
