Chapter 440： Enterprising Home
Zhang Mansion, Zhang Family ushered in the most noble figure of today's Dahua, the current Majesty Wu Changqing.
Wu Changqing came to Zhang's house just to continue to send a signal to the people of the world, that is, he attaches great importance to science and technology.
Only by continuously releasing this signal can we attract more people and capital into the R&D field.
Although he has repeatedly emphasized the importance of technology, he is still worried about involution.
The so-called involution, in a popular point of view, is that the profit brought by technological improvement is not as good as the profit of using cheap labor.
Huaxia has a large population and the cost of labor is very low.
And a huge investment in technology, the efficiency brought by it may not be able to appear a leap-forward improvement.
At that time, those who invest in technology will find that instead of investing in technology, it is better to make use of the vast amount of cheap labor.
And this will lead to the stagnation of technology.
In the original time and space, there was no major scientific and technological invention exploded in the late Qing Dynasty with a population of more than 400 million. This is a big reason.
At present, Wu Changqing is also facing this problem. After the appearance of Jenny Textile Machinery, relying on cheap labor, those businessmen have already made a lot of money, and few people actively want to upgrade their technology.
After all, upgrading technology requires huge investment, the effect is unknown, and the risk is huge.
To put it bluntly, this is a small flaw in the population.
To solve this problem, it is actually easy to handle, let the profits brought by technological upgrading exceed the use of labor.
Or, increase the wages of workers and increase the labor costs of businessmen, forcing them to invent more machines to replace labor.
But this has to be done step by step. If the workers' wages are increased too high in one go, the merchants will have no profits, it will weaken their desire to invest, and they will save money.
In short, governing a country is very, very difficult.
Often, this is not good, and that is not good.
Wu Changqing relied on the knowledge and insights of later generations, as well as the assistance of the system, so he couldn't say that he would be able to govern the society as his ideals.
At present, Wu Changqing can't take care of that far. He now needs to solve the problem of involution, so he can only rely on constantly expressing his attitude to encourage those businessmen to invest money in scientific research and development.
As for how many people would fall into this pit and ruin their fortunes, Wu Changqing didn't care about it.
What he wants is the progress of the society as a whole, and he can't take care of the individuals in it.
After Wu Changqing learned that Zhang's family had made a watch with his student Xu Ke, he immediately indicated that he would come to inspect it in person.
In this way, to give Zhang Tianan an honor and attract other businessmen to take effect.
Upon hearing the news, Zhang Tianan almost fainted with excitement.
The Lord's presence, for an ordinary businessman, what a gift it is.
Going out in the future, the status can be improved invisibly.
After all, this is someone who has been followed by the emperor.
In order to welcome His Majesty's visit, Zhang Mansion made two full days of preparations, and even the subordinates trained some etiquette temporarily.
In front of the emperor, you can't lose etiquette.
Early in the morning, the Zhang family prepared everything, only waiting for the emperor to come.
It was not until noon that Wu Changqing brought some ministers from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to Zhang Mansion.
Before entering the door, the Zhang family had already knelt down and shouted long live.
"No gift, please feel free to do it, just be me today to play."
Wu Changqing said that although it feels refreshing to be bowed down, the feeling of being bowed down is gradually decreasing.
More importantly, there are only small characters kneeling in front of him.
If the person kneeling in front of him is a character like Zhu Yujian or Dorgon, Wu Changqing might still feel particularly refreshed.
As for the Zhang family, forget it.
Everyone in Zhang's Mansion quickly thanked him, and even because of Wu Changqing's small actions, they felt that Wu Changqing was very close to the people.
In this era, when facing the superior, the lower-level people have really low requirements and are easily satisfied.
After completing the necessary procedures, Xu Ke handed over the watch he had developed.
Wu Changqing took a look and found that this watch was as big as a fist. I'm afraid it can't be worn on the hand. It should be more suitable to hang on the waist.
This thing is probably not called a watch, it must be called a waist watch.
This is also impossible. With the current technical level, there is really no way to process finer materials.
There are also three hands on the watch. Although they are called differently, they are actually the hour, minute and second hands.
Moreover, the decimal binary is used, and the day is divided into twelve hours, and each hour is divided into one hundred and twenty equal parts, which is a moment.
A moment is equal to one minute, and each moment has another hundred and twenty seconds.
In other words, one second of Dahua now is approximately equal to half a second of later generations.
No way, Dahua just likes the beauty of neatness. Since it is ten binary, then it is twelve.
This timekeeping is slightly different from the twenty-four hours of later generations, but it has little effect.
Wu Changqing did not deliberately change this kind of little impact.
For some of the most influential measurement units, Wu Changqing personally issued an order to change.
For example, it is inconvenient to set up length units of centimeters, meters, and kilometers, and continue to use the previous length of feet, feet, and inches.
One foot is equal to three feet, but one divided by three is inexhaustible, which is easy to cause errors in scientific experiments.
Many people didn't understand Wu Changqing's change of some seemingly unnecessary measurement units at the beginning, but after using it for a long time, and getting used to it, they will find that the units after Wu Changqing's change are more convenient and easy to use.
Those who have experienced Wu Changqing's painstaking efforts will yell your majesty and wise.
As for some old antiques that like nostalgia, they have to pinch their noses and use new ones.
People who rebel because they don't like to use the new unit of measurement have not yet appeared.
In the future, it is unlikely to appear.
Wu Changqing took a look at the appearance and whether it could work normally. Finally, he disassembled it and took a look at the internal structure himself, and then he gave a few pointers.
It was just a simple instruction that immediately made Xu Ke suddenly realize.
After all, the teacher is a teacher, and my proud achievement may be nothing in the eyes of the teacher.
Xu Ke felt a little bit lost in his heart. After all, these were all his hard work.
"Yes, it is very rare to be able to do this under the existing conditions."
Wu Changqing praised Xu Ke with excitement and joy.
To be recognized by the emperor is the greatest honor for these emperor students.
"However, we still need to continue to improve, and find a way to shrink the parts inside. It is best to let the watch wear on the wrist at this time, and you can see the time by reaching out. It is not convenient enough to hang it on the waist now."
Wu Changqing gave instructions.
Now this kind of watch can also be manufactured partly to supply the market, but for long-term considerations, this thing has to continue to be developed.
"Students remember the teacher's teachings."
Xu Ke said.
He directly called Wu Changqing a teacher instead of his majesty, which is actually a bit wrong.
But Wu Changqing doesn't matter. Others won't care about it when they are full. Who knows, maybe they have a deep sense of mentor and apprenticeship.
"This timetable is of great significance. We must establish the concept of time, accurately grasp the time, and improve the efficiency of our work..."
Wu Changqing said a lot to everyone, emphasizing the concept of time.
For future generations, whether it is a company boss or ordinary people, the control of time needs to be very precise.
And this time concept can greatly improve the efficiency of cooperation, work efficiency, and so on.
For scientific experiments, accurate time measurement is even more important.
"Zhang Tianan, send a watch to the palace later and put it on my desk. I want to know the time at all times."
Wu Changqing once again set an example and lead the trend.
The emperor required himself to be in control of time at all times, so other ministers would dare to grind foreign workers?
When Wu Changqing said that he wanted to use the watch himself, other ministers were ready to order, and they had to follow His Majesty's steps.
What's more, this watch does have a strong practical value.
Finally, Wu Changqing gave a plaque to Zhang Tianan, on which the four words "home of enterprising" were written.
It means that the Zhang family is very enterprising and willing to spend huge sums of money to respond to the call and invest in research and development.
When this plaque is hung on the door, the whole house looks different.
The other businessmen who heard the news quickly stared out.
"Inventing, inventing, we must make an invention. It doesn't matter whether we make money or not, our family must also have this honor."
