There was nothing big at home. Yang Meng said goodbye to the old man and headed straight to Xishan. The appearance of Guangzhou Shipyard was also an opportunity. While purchasing a ship, absorbing some European and American scientific and technological talents is a good way to speed up for Xishan.

When he arrived at Xishan, Yang Meng did not see Ge Shiyang at the first time. Now he has been walking around the Xishan Valley, which is no different from before he left. Seeing this situation, Yang Meng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Turning back, Yang Meng rushed to Xishan Academy again. After seeing the situation of Xishan Academy, Yang Meng became even more anxious.

"Lord!"

Looking at Ge Shiyang with a tired face, Yang Meng couldn't say anything about scolding him. Lao Ge tried his best, after all, he was not a special person for this.

"How is the situation in Xishan?"

After calming down a little, Yang Meng asked in a deep voice.

"Lack of people! Lack of equipment! Lack of technology! Only half of the sixty ships of machinery were installed, and most of the equipment was still not available for installation!"

The situation is worse than I expected. It seems that the students of Xishan Academy have all done this.

The purpose of Yang Meng founding Xishan Academy was not to train technicians who assembled machinery and students of Xishan Academy, but the future of Yunnan! Assembling machinery is called not doing his job properly!

"Did the students of Xishan Academy participate in the assembly of the machine?"

"Yes, but most people are still in the process of learning!"

"Nothing! Let them come back!"

"But, Lord Lord, then no one will assemble the machine!"

"The students of Xishan Academy are not doing this job. Let the workers of the iron factory replace them!"

"Workers in iron factory? They don't understand the principles of machinery. How to assemble them?"

Yang Meng ordered and Ge Shiyang contradicted it. This is very rare. It seems that the two people have a very strong viewpoint in assembly machinery!

Ge Shiyang is also serious and responsible. In the West, most of them have professional technicians, but in Yunnan, there is no such foundation. Ge Shiyang has put a lot of effort into assembling this batch of machinery. He has just trained dozens of technicians who can assemble machinery alone, but was interrupted by the lord Yang Meng at once. The assembly time of these machines will be delayed indefinitely.

This is not a problem. This time it is sixty ships of machinery. The next order of goods will come in a few months. There are more machinery next time, at least twice the previous time. If a large number of machinery cannot be assembled, many things will be postponed. This is a huge constraint on the development of Xishan.

Xishan was entrusted to him by the Lord. For the sake of the Lord’s trust in him, Ge Shiyang was working hard. If he was interrupted this time, Xishan’s development would be delayed by at least one year.

Looking at Ge Shiyang's stubborn eyes, Yang Meng also roughly understood the problem. These machines are very important to the development of Xishan, but these machines must not delay students' learning.

"Are there any drawings for assembly machinery?"

To top the bull is not the solution, Yang Meng took a step back and changed his question.

"have!"

"Then how many technicians in Yunnan can assemble machinery now?"

"Does!"

"Okay! Just take these dozens of people as gentlemen to form a school with 5,000 people, called the Mechanical Construction Academy. In addition to Xishan Academy, you, Ge Shiyang, will be the helmsman!

For these five thousand people, don’t choose students from academy, but choose craftsmen from all over Yunnan. They are around the age of 20 or 30, and their cleverness is the best!

The process of assembling the machinery is first handed over to them, and the small machinery is used as teaching. Learn a batch and send it out a batch, so that they can learn while doing it.

The people who have been eliminated must also be assigned to factories in various places. Remember! Learn and do not be afraid of damaging the machinery. If there is a problem, solve the problem. The people in the mechanical construction school must always maintain the number of 5,000 people."

Do you have to understand the principles when assembling machinery? This is a joke in Yang Meng's opinion. Ge Shiyang's mind is quite good. The solution to this matter is simple, but it is not easy to figure it out. If Ge Shiyang had this brain, he would not have fallen into the Qing Dynasty.

"Well... this method is feasible! I will follow what the Lord said."

After a little thought, Ge Shiyang also discovered the feasibility of this method, but the effect depends on the result.

"This is just one thing, the second point is the key. Put these mechanical principles into basic, medium, high and difficult ones.

In the Mechanical Construction School, each graduated group of students, they will first assemble the machinery for a period of time, perform well, and then bring it back to the school for training, starting from the basics.

After learning the basic principles, they will assemble and repair machinery. In this process, they will choose a group of good performance and teach medium-sized mechanical principles. They will be eliminated in batches until a group of technicians who have learned the principles of high-difficulty mechanical construction are selected. Is this still a problem?"

There are some things that not only Yang Meng needs to learn, but also Ge ​​Shiyang. After all, he is the helm of Xishan. Advanced technology has little effect on Ge Shiyang, and advanced management concepts are what he lacks.

The selection of the level mentioned by Yang Meng is the same method he used in the new army. This method of selecting elite troops is also very suitable for Xishan Academy.

After hearing this, Ge Shiyang fell into deep thought. Lord Yang Meng spoke too quickly, and he had to think about many things carefully.

"Lord, can you explain it to me in detail?"

To understand some things, Ge Shiyang also takes time. He talks with Ge Shiyang. Unlike Wei Wu, Xu Ziwei and others, the things Yang Meng talks to them are all things they are proficient in. With just a few words, Wei Wu, Xu Ziwei, you can understand what Yang Meng means. If you talk about new things, then the two of them may not be much stronger than Ge Shiyang.

"Well! You sort out the recent development of Xishan, and I want to listen to your report!"

Xishan is like a toddler. Every step is difficult, but every step is very critical. Whether Yunnan can walk and run in the future depends on the development of Xishan.

Yunnan is no longer nothing. Once the iron plant is built, the arsenal is built. The difficulty of many things is increasing exponentially. From a combing gun to a firing gun, the great powers have used it for more than a hundred years. Yunnan has learned it after two years of use. There are still many things missing here!

In a few years, you can learn what others have accumulated over a hundred or even hundreds of years. The burden on the West Mountain is more heavy than Mount Tai. The weight of this Mount Tai lies in talents. Cultivating talents is not something that can be done overnight.

The development of Xishan was setback, which was expected by Yang Meng, but he could not accept it. Now it is the time to catch up. The armored warships replaced the sailing warships. This is a great era. Since Yang Meng has touched this era, he must not give up.

Military industry and shipbuilding are the top priority. Military industry cannot be separated from machinery. Shipbuilding cannot be separated from machinery. As long as you grasp powerful force first, you can have the opportunity to develop slowly.

If you can't grasp this opportunity, you don't have the advantage of the sea, then everything is a fantasy. As long as the powers strangle the sea, they will pinch Yang Meng's throat.

Xishan is the key among the key points. Guangzhou’s Naval Academy and Shipyard can only be regarded as subordinates of Xishan. Many things have to be developed and grown by Xishan.

This time when entering Beijing was given time for Xishan to have problems. If there were no such problems, Yang Meng would not have paid much attention to Xishan as he has now.

With Ge Shiyang, he went up the Xishan Turret. After listening to the recent development of Xishan, Yang Meng also frowned.

Although Xishan Academy has achieved many achievements, it has neglected teaching before. The transformation of the iron plant has delayed Xishan's energy. It is also an extremely energy-consuming item to explore the things of our ancestors. Due to Yang Meng's attitude, Xishan has omissions in basic teaching.

This problem is not Yang Meng alone. Most of the students of Xishan Academy are adult scholars. Their lack of attention to the Westernization Affairs is also one of the reasons for the sluggish basic teaching in Xishan.

"Master Ge, please contact Patrick and ask him to collect textbooks from schools in various European countries and countries, and then send him a batch of translators. After collecting these things, they will translate them directly during the boating process.

Starting today, Xishan Academy will expand its scale and allow Mr. Wei to select several groups of students from private schools in various places. These groups of students should choose smart ones.

The group is six or seven years old, the group is twelve or thirteen years old, the group is six or seventeen years old, and the group is about twenty years old. No matter how much they study, there is no limit on men and women, as long as they are smart.

Xishan can recruit as many people as possible. The method of layered selection of talents mentioned just now must also be used on this group of school children.

Remember! This group of people is just learning knowledge, don’t arrange other errands for them.

The selected schoolchildren from Xishan Academy will be sent directly to the Mechanical Construction Academy. For the expansion of the academy, you will discuss with Mr. Ding of Yiliang."

Before Ge Shiyang could ask, Yang Meng made another arrangement, and the staggering steps in the West really made Yang Meng anxious.

The silver desolation of the Qing Dynasty and the famines that spread across various provinces also tightened a string in Yang Meng's mind, a sign of a chaotic world! There is really not much time left for Yunnan to develop safely.

"Lord, please explain to me the method of selecting talents, and I don't understand what you just said."

Ge Shiyang opened his mouth and made Yang Meng start to explain continuously after a few words. Yang Meng explained, Ge Shiyang's record, and the Western Paradise were slowly being adjusted.

"Oh... by the way! Patrick asked him to search for unsatisfactory scientific and technological talents from European countries, which is also something Xishan lacks. When studying things, we support them in doing research and give them a generous salary. I can do it here, but their research must be participated by our staff.

Other scientific and technological talents are sent to Xishan Academy to give lectures, but there is one thing that we are studying is not allowed to participate. If you have to split the things that involve them, you have to let them study them.

If these people want to come to Yunnan, we can give them some preferential treatment, and ensure their salary is stable within five or ten years. If they make contributions, they can also be rewarded. However, this is also conditional. We guarantee their salary for five or ten years. They cannot leave Yunnan within five or ten years.

The salary standard is based on ten times their lowest price in Europe. The greater the ability, the higher the salary!

After today, you should not pay attention to specific projects. Grasping the overall situation of Xishan is what you should do.

In the future, every half month, I will hand me a note to report everything about Xishan, and I will report it in it!"

Yunnan's foundation is too poor, and many things are wanted but cannot be done. Taking advantage of this period of stability and laying a solid foundation for Xishan has become a big problem for Yang Meng.

"Lord, I have recorded all the things you said. From tomorrow on, I will arrange these matters."

"Well! Remember, if you arrange the specific things, you just need to control the overall situation. Is there anything else?"

The slow mountain in Xishan made Yang Meng worry about Yiliang’s arsenal. Xishan is the foundation and key for the long term, and the arsenal is the short-term key.

In any case, we can first make large quantities of revolvers, and then talk about other things. The cannons cast from the arsenal during this period should come out. These are the things that Yunnan needs the most.

Ge Shiyang shook his head and said there was no problem. Yang Meng did not stop in the west mountain for a long time and took the people straight to Yiliang overnight. (To be continued...)
