Tang Dynasty: Nine-year-old County Grandpa

Half an hour later, Chu Jie rode the carriage and returned to the county office.

After he got out of the car, he returned to the waiting room of the county government under the escort of Zhanzhao.

Chen Xiu, on the other hand, drove the carriage by himself to carry out the task given to him by Chu Jie.

Just after Chu Jie drank two cups of tea by himself in the living room, Chen Xiu came back.

He was followed by an old craftsman with gray hair.

The old craftsman was dressed in a short khaki robe, and his hands were covered with thick calluses.

At first glance, it is the hands that often do carpentry.

"Grass farmer Liu Mu, meet Lord Chu!" This

craftsman named Liu Mu, when he saw Chu Jie, there was seven points of nervousness in his eyes, and three points of worship.

Chu Jie in front of him saved the existence of the entire Chang'an.

"Don't be nervous, the official is planning to organize you to collect apprentices and solve the problem of one hundred sets of windmills and three hundred sets of textile machines that the official needs within three days. "

I would like to ask you, how long would it take for you to bring out a young man who was only responsible for the construction of a windmill or a loom, in three days, without considering questions such as whether the craft could be passed on?"

"

Those who make windmill pages specialize in windmill pages, those who make gears specialize in gears, and those who do assembly specialize in assembly.

"Anyway, now the measuring tools in everyone's hands are complete, everything is disassembled and separated, and everyone only learns the part of the things they have to do, is three days enough?"

Chu Jie asked in a deep voice.

At this time, he is simply going to engage in an assembly line.

The overall production efficiency is inherently low, especially for big guys like textile machines and windmills.

In addition, the craftsmen who have not gone to Penglai Port in Chang'an now are either in poor health or old men.

This situation is even more unproductive.

He could only sacrifice the assembly line in advance.

"This...... Three days is indeed enough, but adults ...... "

If you specialize in this, you can't do anything else in the future, so this craftsman is not very useful." "

How can there be so many windmills and looms for us?" said

Liu Mu with some concern.

It seems that in his eyes, since all craftsmen have begun to learn this craft, they should think about the future vitality.

This responsible attitude alone made Chu Jie satisfied.

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about this, the demand for these things will get bigger and bigger.

"Not only will they have no worries about making a living in the future, but they will also expand their recruitment in the future."

"The official intends to set up a textile machinery factory to be responsible for the production of these tools.

"You, Liu Mu, will be the director of the textile machinery factory, and the task at this stage is to take those five hundred old craftsmen to separate the parts.

"Then train people to make these parts, divide them into as many parts as you like, but ask for them to be able to assemble them all in the end.

"And in the future, you will also be responsible for the design of these parts, and try to be consistent, for example, all the gears to be used are the same, so that there will be a lot less people to make other sizes of gears."

"For example, if the diameter of the bearings used in all parts is as consistent as possible, then the bearings made by a group of people can be used in many places.

"When the time comes, it's easy to replace and repair.

"In short, try to produce modules as much as possible, and use as many parts as possible.

"You understand?" Chu

Jie introduced the essence of assembly line production - the versatility of parts and the uniformity of size.

"I see, my lord, your method is really amazing.

"So you don't have to produce a windmill or a spinning machine by one person.

"It's about putting a lot of people's manpower into a single work.

"In this way, why is the speed dozens of times faster?" After

Liu Mu listened to Chu Jie's words, he was suddenly shocked.

"Okay, you can take the original drawings and redesign it. "

If you recruit people, for the time being, you will have five catties of grain a day, one hundred yuan, and money and silver as a year-end bonus at the end of the year. "

This is the basic salary, and you can work until you are 50 years old. "

Then there's the piece-rate wage, which is added to the base wage, and you're responsible for pricing how many hours it takes to make a specific part.

"Anyway, every half hour of work is calculated according to the price of one pound of grain and twenty yuan.

"For example, the production hours of a wooden gear are one working hour, which is equivalent to half an hour, then the piecework wage is how many gears the worker makes, how many catties of grain and how many twenty yuan are given.

"Do you understand?"

"As for the wages of you foremen and masters, in addition to the basic salary, it is a tenth of the piece-rate wages of the apprentices you teach.

"The more you teach, the more you take."

Chu Jie said.

"Understood, understood

!" "Lord Chu is really generous!"

Liu

Mu suddenly said with excitement on his face.

"Hehe, this is a small amount of money, the official wants you to come up with the finished product as soon as possible, as for the location of the factory and the plant, you directly connect with the official's housekeeper Chen Xiu.

"The carpentry workshop is very simple, it can be built in three days, you have three days, you can recruit as many people as possible, as long as you can do it."

"As long as the factory is there, all workers will be responsible for the birth, old age, sickness, death and retirement.

"It's okay for everyone to work hard, and don't be afraid of any worries."

Chu Jie said with a smile.

"Understood, my lord

!" "Recruit people immediately!" Liu

Mu, who was promoted to factory director,

suddenly bowed down to Chu Jie with a grateful face.

Although most of the names in this era are workshops, the meaning of factories is also broad and large.

Therefore, even if you are illiterate, you can hear the names of workshops and factories at once.

There is no such thing as not knowing what it means.

"Hehe, go ahead!" Chu

Jie smiled and nodded.

Now that the Royal Chamber of Commerce is in his hands, he has integrated the entire world's catering industry and part of the equity of the commercial house, and he is already the person who holds the most wealth in Datang.

Even if it is the household department, he is not as rich as his Royal Chamber of Commerce at this time.

So he wants to do things, and the problems that money can solve are not called problems.

"Then, I quit my job!" Liu

Mu didn't stay any longer, and after giving his leave, he left with confidence.

"Are you going to make a new thing again?" Chen

Xiu, who was listening to the conversation next to him, asked curiously before going out to prepare for the construction of the factory.

"Hehe, it's not one, it's two, it's a textile mill and a textile machinery factory.

"In a month, clothes will no longer be a rarity.

Chu Jie said meaningfully.
