Chapter 26 Disabled Soldiers

When Song Xing and his group returned quickly, Li Xian was explaining to everyone a timekeeping tool—Big Ben. Considering the current shallow industrial foundation, the only thing Li Xian can choose is Big Ben.

"It has two important parts, the mainspring and the pendulum. The mainspring is used to store energy, and the pendulum is used to keep time." Li Xian said that his mouth was dry, mainly because Li Xian only knew a little about this thing. Probably, the arrangement of the gears inside, etc., is simply ignorant.

"How does the pendulum keep time?" Everyone was at a loss, even Xu Ren was at a loss. How does a swinging iron ball keep time?

"I know, I know!" Little Xie An yelled, "Although the amplitude of the swing is different, the time of each swing is the same! Therefore, as long as the length of the cycloid is calculated, the timing can be accurately determined. It can be done in seconds.”

"Huh?" Xu Ren observed carefully for a long time, and it was true. "Xie An, how do you know this?"

"Big brother and son won't let me tell."

Li Xian: ...

"Haha..." Everyone suddenly laughed together.

Liu Bin also laughed for a long time before he recovered his strength: "Young master, the principle of this thing is very simple, but if you want to accurately time it, you need to measure it repeatedly. It is estimated that the finished product will be made within a month or before the new year."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Seeing that another item was solved, Li Xian finally showed a smile, feeling so accomplished.

But after the good news came the bad news - not enough people! When Li Xian came to Anyang, there were only more than 300 people around him; earlier, the textile branch factory had already experienced a shortage of manpower. It was Aunt He Lin who went to Anyang and the surrounding villages to recruit some women, and the problem was temporarily solved.

But now, with the proposal of the "Big Ben" plan and the increase in demand for textile machines in the textile branch factory, the machinery branch factory first experienced a shortage of personnel.

Unlike the textile branch factory, the machinery branch factory has research tasks, which belong to the core department, and not just anyone can come. In terms of confidentiality, everyone in the factory attaches great importance to it.

In addition, the machinery factory needs to increase its production capacity, which has put a huge pressure on the metallurgical branch factory - Song Gang was about to lose his hair when he was supposed to undertake an order of 1 million catties of weapons from the Haizu. Now that the task of Big Ben is up, many factory directors broke out.

What should I do if there are not enough manpower? This is not something that comes as soon as you say it, at least you have to test the question of loyalty. Now it's Li Xian's turn to grab his hair.

Only Xu Ren was confident, "Master, what's so difficult about it, you need someone from Eldest Young Master!"

"Brother? Who is there with him? More than 30,000 soldiers are complaining every day that they are not enough."

"Disabled soldiers!" Xu Ren seemed to have thought of something, and his tone was a bit sad, "Every state shepherd has a large number of disabled soldiers. When I was at the governor of Songzhou, I saw tens of thousands of wounded soldiers. Disabled soldiers. Their life...is almost hopeless. Moreover, many governors, state priests, etc. will secretly 'handle' some disabled soldiers to reduce their burden.

Moreover, as far as we are concerned, we can arrange many, many disabled soldiers to work. Even if they can't work, they can still watch the gate and warehouse. And the loyalty of these soldiers is not a problem. "

Li Xian got up immediately, "I forgot this. Sir, let's go to Anyang and see how many disabled soldiers there are in Anyang."

When he left the factory, Li Xian suddenly said, "Sir, you must have wanted to say this a long time ago."

This time, Xu Ren no longer had the expression of Zhizhu in his hands, but was a little sad and emotional: "I know I can't hide it from you. The most important reason why I left Songzhou Governor is not just because he doesn't accept my opinion." , even more because I found out that he was secretly dealing with useless soldiers."

Li Xian is silent, such things are not uncommon in any world. Disabled soldiers are not only worthless, but a heavy drag. When Cao Cao crossed Huarong Road, he even let the disabled and weak soldiers carry straw bales to pave the road in front, and Cao Cao led the cavalry to charge behind. The disabled soldiers became paving mats and were trampled on the muddy road.

After a long time, Li Xian suddenly said solemnly, "Sir, maybe Li Xian has the ability to let you see a brand new world!"

Li Xian came to Anyang City again, and all the soldiers who saw Li Xian along the way called them captains respectfully. Although Li Xian did not really lead them for a day, and his cultivation was not as good as some centurion and thousand commanders, but Li Xian's performance after he came to Anyang really won the respect of these soldiers.

"Haha, dear brother, I heard the captain's call from a long distance away." Li Xian's elder brother Li Liang also greeted him from a long distance away.

Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "Brother, younger brother is here to solve your troubles."

"Trouble? I don't have any trouble?"

Li Xian looked around at the soldiers and so on, and said in a slightly lower voice, "Brother, let's talk inside."

"good."

After sitting down, Li Xian finally talked about his purpose, "Brother, the firm has already expanded and needs a lot of manpower. I heard that there are many disabled soldiers here, maybe I can give them a new place to live and work." Place."

Unexpectedly, Li Liang frowned suddenly, "Little brother, these soldiers are indeed a burden, but I am willing to support them. They have been injured and disabled, don't you still have the heart to keep them busy?"

Li Xian sat upright, "Brother, listen to my explanation.

First, for these disabled soldiers, at least for most of them, such a life is a kind of humiliation! It would be better to give them a little hustle, to give their lives new meaning, to prove that they are alive.

Second, keep them busy and give them new goals, so that they don't have to sigh about their crippled bodies every day. We are all practitioners. As long as we have confidence, we may have the opportunity to enter the Nascent Soul Stage to reshape our bodies in the future.

Third, sign up voluntarily, never force it; and even if you enter the workshop, the monthly compensation for them cannot be missed. Those who are unwilling to work will still be provided according to the original standard.

Fourth, as long as those who are willing to apply, I can arrange corresponding positions for them, and at least give them the motivation and hope to continue their practice.

Fifth, ensure preferential treatment for their families. The factory can even send someone to take care of their children, and educate their children to practice and study.

What do you think? "

Li Xian's words and thoughts obviously had a huge impact on Li Liang. Even Xu Ren, who has been by Li Xian's side all the time, his eyes glowed - it turns out that things can still be done like this, and they can be explained like this.

Li Xian stared at his elder brother Li Liang, quietly waiting for a reply.

After a while, Li Liangcai ordered the counselor beside him, Zou Hui, the county magistrate here, to ask the disabled soldiers first.

Soon, Zou Hui came back with a strange expression on his face, "Young master, almost all the disabled soldiers expressed their willingness to go out to work. As long as the young master does not refuse and can tolerate their mistakes, they would rather not be paid."

Zou Hui said it plainly, but Li Liang felt the sadness of the soldiers. Sighing, "Little brother, you are right. No, dear brother, you are right. Haha..."

Li Xian has black lines all over his head, and the word "Xiandi" probably won't be lost for a long time.

Afterwards, Li Xian didn't need to come forward, Xu Ren and the new directors of the various factories went crazy and started robbing people! In fact, the number of disabled soldiers is more than expected, tens of thousands! After hearing this number, Li Xian was stunned for a long time—Anyang, which is only a county, can have tens of thousands of disabled soldiers? !

Then Li Xian figured it out. The soldiers here are all practitioners, and their survivability is in a mess. On the earth, most of the disabled soldiers in ancient times died of infection, etc.; but here is the world of practice, and these soldiers are all practitioners.

It's just that Li Xian's elder brother is really too "generous". With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of people gave them all to Li Xian;
