The training for female workers in textile mills has been in full swing. With the help of skilled textile workers, 12 female workers conducted systematic training for each step of what needs to be paid attention to. In addition to the thinking put forward by the red tassel, other workers have put forward some suggestions for improvement, some have been accepted, and some have been deemed meaningless, and whether it is textile machines or looms, they are changing to better and better every day.

From the first edition to now, more than 50 modifications have been made. In the end, a mature Baotou No. 3 textile machine and cloth loom appeared in the warehouse. The rough components have been confirmed. In two days, Yang Yuanzhao and many workers have worked day and night, and another 200 machines have been assembled. There is no place for the installed machines. On the other side of the laboratory, the five large rooms are already at the limit. The rest have been arranged for laboratories of different categories.

In the telegram sent back from the United States, Habi recorded in detail the general majors of more than 200 scholars and more than 200 technicians. Based on this, Yang Yuanzhao also divided 12 majors as the basis for the future technological takeoff in Baotou.

In fact, there should be 13 majors, but the agricultural laboratories have their own system and rely on greenhouses. Some time ago, when building houses with cement and bricks, Yang Yue also set up a large three-story building, with a floor area of ​​nearly 400 square meters, which is mostly used to build houses. After three floors, it is close to 700 square meters. It is enough to use his agricultural laboratories and classmates from the United States. Various equipment has been basically in place, and only some equipment brought from the United States is left. With personnel and equipment, this research institute has the least contact with it.

The remaining 12 majors are laboratories such as heavy chemical industry, light chemical industry, materials science, physics, chemistry, electricity, electromagnetic, steel manufacturing, machine processing, cranes, steam engines, internal combustion engines, etc. Four of them were personally led by Yang Yuanzhao, including materials science, cranes, steam engines and internal combustion engines. These are majors that are close to each other, or only Yang Yuanzhao can guide.

Needless to say, materials learning. In the past few months, especially in the more than two months after the upgrade of the all-in-one machine, 10,000 different materials will be produced every day through the all-in-one machine. The samples, analysis results, and application prospects of this material have been preserved by him for the time being. As the research direction of future materials science, he does not know much about materials science, but he will select two analytical and summary talents from the people coming to the United States to conduct different comparisons.

The ocean of materials is simply endless. Any material, even if it is different in seconds, will cause huge changes in material alloys. With the help of exhaustive methods, it may be possible to find that more of the world-renowned achievements will fail. This is also the 600,000 different types of alloys in almost two months. There are only a few of them that can be called good, but more of them are garbage, which has no research value at all.

This is how many metal combinations have become like this. After thinking about it, Yang Yuanzhao decided to build such a materials science laboratory, and use scientific statistics methods to strive to find some secrets about material addition. In this way, 600,000 materials have the meaning of their existence.

In addition to materials science, cranes are something that no one cares about in this era. Even if the ports use giant cranes and factory trolleys, it was only developed after a period of time, driven by electricity. Now Baotou, trolleys and tower cranes have a certain foundation. If you continue to study in this direction, it is nothing more than some applications of mechanics and energy.

As for steam engines and internal combustion engines, who came from the mechanical department of Tsinghua University, specialized in engines, and took the position of engine engineer in China's No. 1 fleet, Yang Yuanzhao was confident that in this era, there were very few engine technology that could compare with him, and in terms of vision, there were only ones who could compare with him. Although from the United States, there were similar professional engineers recruited, Yang Yuanzhao only planned to use them as assistants, and he was the one who coordinated the overall situation.

Other laboratories cannot be moved for the time being. The scientists finally recruited and all the equipment was all there. As long as they came to Baotou, they could devote themselves to work, so that they could be worthy of the high salary he gave. Yang Yuanzhao thought for a long time and could only give up his five laboratories for the efficiency of the cotton mill. In this way, without knowing it, he boarded 100 different machines. In this way, every day, the time for each person to board the machine increased to about 3 hours, and as they gradually became familiar with each other, the female workers recruited from Baotou could start working under the guidance of skilled workers.

Speaking of these newly recruited female workers, Baotou has suffered a lot of twists and turns in recruitment. After passing through the flour mill, brick factory, cement factory, and even soap factory, Baotou is very familiar with recruitment. Once Baoken company or related companies recruit workers, it will arouse the interest of everyone. Everyone flocks to compete for those positions. Everyone knows that as long as you enter Baoken company, work hard, and get rich, it is okay.

It has been more than half a year since the first farm employee, and the first workers who entered Baoken Company have been 6 months, and their salary has remained at around 30 yuan for 6 consecutive months. In Baotou, let alone supporting the family, it is no problem to bring all the family and all the aunts and sisters with them. One yuan is equivalent to 100 yuan in later generations, and even more, it is not enough to eat. However, the recruitment of workers in textile factories is slightly different from the usual recruitment. This time, everyone is needed for women. It is precisely this point that when the initial recruitment was short, there were no one who signed up.

For thousands of years, women have been a taboo when they come out to work. With cotton textiles, it has become a relatively normal phenomenon. The Yang family, Liu family and Wei family recruited more than 2,000 female textile workers in various places. It is conceivable how many female workers will reach a national level. The foreign land is a place with a developed textile industry, either a coastal port or a developed inland city. The worst is that it is also a provincial capital city. These places are to a certain extent. The customs of the people are relatively open, and Baotou is originally an inland inland. If it is not bordered by Mongolia, it is probably just one of many small cities, without any conspicuous places.

After knowing that it was a woman, even if it was named Baoken Company, it also knew that Baoken Company hired many female workers from other places, and very few were willing to send their families, which was also the fundamental reason for the frustration of recruitment.

Yang Yuanzhao went all out to make various looms and spinning machines, and had no time to pay attention to the matter here. After receiving the detailed report, Liu Shu considered it and started from two aspects. On the one hand, the eight great masters of Shanxi merchants and many small landlords, together with guarantees. The wages of female workers are not only not less than those of male workers, but also have a monthly subsidy of 1-2 yuan. Don’t underestimate this. 1-2 yuan, if you change it to white flour, it is almost enough for a person to eat a month.

The number of female workers recruited is related to whether the cotton mill can start production smoothly. They invested 20 million in cash, not to mention that even if all the workers in the cotton mill are recruited, they will not exceed 15,000. In this way, at the limit of 2 yuan, the investment is only about 30,000 yuan.

30,000 yuan. For a family or a small businessman, it may be just an astronomical figure, but for a Shanxi businessman with a big family, it is nothing at all. It is not a family. If there is no family business, it is only one or two thousand. Not to mention the registration where the owner of the family is registered, even if the owner of an ordinary store, you can take it out.

The money is almost in place on the same day. You can choose cash or vouchers. The vouchers can be packaged with new flour mills, brick factories, cement factories, or even soap factories established not long ago to exchange for goods of the same value. Even compared to cash, there is priority.

The Eight Great Masters and many merchants have a huge influence in Baotou. They guaranteed each other and gave real rewards, which made some female workers with lingering fears take the first step. Baotou has built a lot of industries, and there are still many poor people. Some poor farmers who came from Shanxi and even far away in Shaanxi came late and did not catch up with the opportunity to recruit workers in Baoken. Men usually work odd jobs at the docks or chambers of commerce and do hard work. At most, women get some clothes, needles, threads, etc., and take them home to do some washing or squeezing work. Now, if you have the opportunity to get more than men, you can support the salary of the family. As a guarantee, everyone in Shanxi businessmen has eliminated their only concerns. They sign up one after another. With this, Baoken Company recruited 1,200 people.

There are still not enough people in 1,200 people, plus the previous 2,200 people, and there are only 3,400 people in total. The previous number of 4,500 to 5,000 people in the first phase was not a little bit different, and the goal of the first phase could not be filled.

Fortunately, there is a second method. The second method is very simple. To put it bluntly, it is to let existing employees show up. Now, from engineering companies, to farms, to brick factories, flour factories, cement factories, and factories that have been put into production, there are more than 10,000 employees. They are all spread all over Baotou. These people get at least one or two months of salary, and at most three or four months of salary. They trust the company first. They can introduce and recommend workers. For each successful one, they will receive an introduction fee of 1-2 yuan. This is also an additional fee. The workers recruited are also given 1-2 yuan.

Among the factories built in Baotou, there are Qian Hu's factories, with nearly tens of thousands of people. With his income, it is not easy to take out the money. After Yang Yuanzhao found out, he paid the money to support Liu Shu and Qian Hu. As for other factories, flour mills, brick factories, or cement factories, all of which can be easily taken out.

The real rewards are both. Suddenly, many workers' enthusiasm has increased greatly. Most of them recommend their wives. Those with daughters ask their daughters to come. Those with seven sisters and eight aunts have collected more than 2,000 people in just 3 days. If it weren't for Liu Shu's immediate stop, there would probably be three or four thousand people coming.

It was enough for the time being, but later, it was not rejected. It was put aside. This factory is not only a phase one project. The cotton ingots of 120,000 ingots are only about one-third of the first phase. The next personnel need at least about 8,000 people. Even if the benefits are better after the first phase is put into production, the cotton mill will be expanded on this basis.

Preparing for the future, Liu Shu registered these people first. In the future, when the machine is in place, these people will have to be recruited again. However, at present, there is no place for the time being. He persuaded them to leave with kind words, and even gave them gifts.

Those who came late were a little disappointed. Fortunately, after registering the basic information, those who were far away would arrange for vehicles to send them back. Those who were near would also give them a small gift, such as a pound of white flour or other items, which were worth less than 0.5 silver dollars, but were not worth a lot but practical. These people also returned with satisfaction.

The number of workers constantly growing, and the tight housing in Baotou once again became difficult. After October, with the gradual decline in surface temperature, it is not impossible to build a house. It will pay the price of quality, and even the speed will be much weaker, but it still needs to be built, and it is a large-scale construction.

The female workers' dormitory area was further expanded, with two circular walls as the center, and once again expanded. Here, the construction of intensive houses began. However, in a short time, at least within one month, these houses were unable to live in, and the safety was not good. Fortunately, most of the female workers recruited were near Baotou. Without real work, they adopted the training mode, which lasted 6 to 7 hours a day, and the actual operation time of the machine was only once every two days, and more were concentrated training. More than 3,000 newly recruited workers, these workers who were still at the level of farmers, received the same queue training and military training as male workers. In half a year, Baotou has summarized the training methods, using teams as units, queue training and collective life.

There is not enough room, and there is no way to go for group training. However, there are still many simple training and internal affairs. During the training, half of the salary can be paid, and the working hours are cut from 9 am to 5 pm. During this period, female workers who need to be sent back can also be sent back through a carriage. The strict protection is provided. In addition, female workers around Baotou, and even some are the families of the original workers, and they do not cause many troubles like the previous 2,200 female workers from other places.

The female workers entered the regular and after a simple training, they started to board the machine. After stuttering, they finally slowly stabilized. Baotou was like taking wings and began to move forward quickly.
Chapter completed!
