Chapter 11 Streamlined Operations
[History is the history of the people of the world, but the novel is the novel of one person, but I am still willing to work hard to write a complicated world, not how many powerful characters, not how wonderful the picture, but to let every ordinary person play their own role in their own talents. I don't have a main character in my book!, he's just an early appearance!]
"The big guys will be divided into ten groups, working independently of each other, and then we'll start distributing ...... to everyone," said a leading fellow to the hundreds of boatmen in the courtyard.
"What are you talking about?separation?why are you separating us?" The lean man behind Malone immediately jumped out and shouted loudly when he heard this.
"Yes, aren't you here to work, why are you separating us?"
"That's right! At the beginning, we Jiang Tou'er didn't want to take advantage of you, so we were kind enough to let us come. Now that you want to separate us, what kind of heart do you have in peace?"
"Do you want to separate us and then deal with us?"
"I know that these guys don't want to die! No, we must not let them tear us apart!"
"Yes! If you don't want us to do it, then we'll go back!"
……
Then hundreds of boatmen in the courtyard made a fuss, and they refused to be separated. How can the boatmen not pay more attention to the "enemy camp", and the guys' straightforward approach naturally makes the boatmen suspicious.
When the leading man saw this, he did not panic, and still said with a gentle face: "Brothers, you have misunderstood! Everyone has come to work for the owner, and if you do it against you, what good will it do us if the matter that the owner has given us will be delayed? My shopkeeper is also very grateful to Foreman Jiang for his help in this regard! He often praises Foreman Jiang in front of us as a broad-minded person who attaches importance to the overall situation everywhere. ”
"Hmph! It's better to say than to sing, God knows how you scolded us Jiang Tou'er behind your backs! What about Liu Jin? Tell him to come out! I must give an explanation for today's matter, otherwise, I won't do it anymore, uncle!" The lean boatman is about to make a fuss again.
The leading guy looked at Malone with a pleading look, Malone glanced back, and then waved his hand to stop the thin man's voice, but said to the leading guy: "Why do you want to separate our gang, let's ask Shopkeeper Liu to come out and explain this matter! Otherwise, the brothers can't work steadily, right?"
After Malone finished speaking, a group of boatmen in the courtyard fell silent and looked at the leading man.
"This ......" The leading fellow hesitated when he saw this.
A moment later, everyone in the courtyard heard a hearty laugh from behind the corner gate: "Haha!
Then, Liu Jin walked into the compound through the corner gate.
"You're Ma Long, right?" Liu Jin asked as he walked straight up to Ma Long.
Ma Long bowed slightly and said, "Ma Long has seen Shopkeeper Liu!"
Liu Jin nodded with a smile and said, "That's good!
"Dare to ask Shopkeeper Liu, why do you want to separate us?" asked Ma Long.
Liu Jin smiled and said sincerely: "Haha, don't worry! The reason why everyone is separated is just to facilitate work! Doesn't the big guy have to do different jobs separately from time to time when he works in the shipyard? A bunch of people are huddled together, and it's not efficient to do work, isn't it?"
Ma Long listened to Liu Jin's explanation, bowed slightly, and then continued: "That's good! Please ask Shopkeeper Liu to take us to the dock!"
Liu Jin shook his head when he heard this, and said, "No!
"What? surnamed Liu, you can't fool us! We're here to help build a ship, and build a fart boat in such a small yard! Oh, I see! The carpenter thinks that he can go into the water and use it as a boat by sawing a few pieces of wood and nailing them together!" The lean boatman looked back at his companion behind him and laughed loudly.
"Haha! yes! yes! He thought he was making furniture!"
"In this way, I guess you can get a bed board and go into the water!"
"Hahahaha, a carpenter is a carpenter!"
……
"You ......"
The guys behind Liu Jin were about to get angry, but Liu Jin waved his hand to stop them, and still smiled calmly: "Don't laugh, come with me!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the corner gate from which he came.
Malone was silent for a while, and then beckoned to all the boatmen: "Let's go!"
As he spoke, he led the boatmen to the corner gate.
Bypass the corner gate, and suddenly it will be opened.
It turns out that in addition to the wide yard in the front yard, the area of the back yard is larger!
More than a dozen long wooden sheds have been built in the backyard of hundreds of acres, which are more than 30 zhang long, more than 10 zhang wide, and more than 4 zhang high.
At a glance, more than a dozen large wooden sheds opened their mouths like a dozen huge dragons, quietly watching the boatmen.
The five hundred boatmen were deeply shocked by the scene in front of them since they turned the corner gate.
"Brother Long, what is this!" The lean boatman saw these huge wooden sheds, and at this moment he had no jokes in his heart, and all that was left was a trace of panic about the unknown.
Marlon shook his head and replied, "I don't know!"
Seeing Liu Jin standing at the door of a large wooden shed not far away, Ma Long cheered everyone up: "What are you afraid of! It's all here, are you still afraid that they will eat us?"
"That's it, there are so many of us, I'm afraid of him!" shouted the lean boatman with a restrained look.
Then, Ma Long took the lead and walked towards Liu Jin.
Then, Liu Jin welcomed Ma Long and the others into the big wooden shed.
When the boatmen entered, they saw a row of wooden shelves on both sides of the huge space, and the wooden shelves were full of all kinds of tools and piles of parts.
In the middle of the hut there was a large wooden table in a ring, which was so large that it took up almost the whole shed, and beside the table was a row of encircling benches, which the boatmen could see with a glance that they were nailed to the ground with iron nails.
"This is where the big guys work!" Liu Jin pointed to the large circular table and introduced to the boatmen.
"Here, let's demonstrate to the big guys!" Liu Jin said, pointing to a fellow.
When the man got the order, he hurriedly ran to the innermost wall of the wooden shed, stretched out his hands and pulled down a wooden handle on the wall.
Suddenly, there was a continuous sound of the machine, and the boatmen were surprised to find that on the inside of the wooden table, a belt began to move slowly, and the speed became faster and faster, and at the same time some strange things on the table began to turn far away.
There was the jagged steel wheel that began to spin, the heavy hammer that struck up and down, and the sharp steel drill that kept spinning......
"This cowhide belt is called a conveyor belt, and it is powered by water power to transfer the parts that everyone has made to the next person. In the future, everyone will no longer have to build a part independently as before! Here, everyone only needs to do one simple thing! Maybe it is sawing a piece of wood, maybe it is just knocking an iron nail, it is very simple! And these tools on the table can also greatly reduce the burden of everyone, no longer need to pull the saw, and there is no need to pull the hammer hard, how convenient!" Liu Jin smiled gently, and Maitreya Buddha generally looked at the boatmen.
"You guys show it again!" Liu Jin immediately summoned a group of buddies.
The dozen or so men skillfully picked out their tools from the wooden frame behind them, sat down at the wooden table, and began to work.
The first man quickly placed a thick piece of wood in front of the spinning one, and with a slight push, the thick one was cut in half, and then the man lowered his head and picked up another piece of wood again.
The target that was sawn in half was sent to the second person by a cow belt, and the second man grabbed the two halves of the wood and quickly operated on the small hacksaw in front of him, and in just a few breaths, the originally thick whole piece of wood was divided into several small pieces of wood.
The timber is then transferred to the next person for precision processing, skinning, grinding, knife splitting and chiseling, and finally into delicate parts.
From the first wood to the final finished part, it takes no more than the time of a tea.
"Boss, things are done!" The last guy sent a few finished parts to Liu Jin's hands.
Liu Jin nodded at him with a smile, and after taking it, he handed the finished parts to Ma Long beside him.
Malone took it, and after just one glance, Malone recognized that it was an indispensable and important part of the sails of a sea ship. Then, Malone looked very closely, but saw that the surface of the small parts on his hand was very smooth, much more delicate than the ones they had made before.
The boatmen next to Ma Long are all veterans, they have made this part I don't know how many times, the lean man was also surprised when he saw the parts Liu Jin brought, but he said unconvinced: "Cut! What is the use of looking good! The things installed on the sea ship are easy to use, and they are not furniture, why do you want to be so good-looking!"
Liu Jin smiled and said nothing, and motioned for them to look at a few more.
Ma Long held a part in one hand, stared at the two parts, and compared them seriously, unable to take his eyes off for a long time.
"This ...... This...... It's also too ...... It's just the same!"
Ma Long has worked in the shipyard for so many years, and has already figured out the most suitable size for this part, and at the same time, when this part is usually manufactured, the number of occurrences of the best size is also the highest among the shipwrights in the entire shipyard!
However, even so, Malone can't guarantee the best size every time, let alone make every part exactly the same, and can't find the slightest error!
"Impossible! Impossible! Even the oldest and most skilled shipwrights in Hongzhou Shipyard can't do it without errors!" "The lean shipwright is also a skilled worker, and naturally knows what error there is in each part, and what this kind of thing means!"
"But, these parts are obviously just made by them!" The other boatman was equally surprised, if it weren't for the fact that so many of them could see it clearly, the boatmen would definitely suspect that the guys were cheating!
Liu Jin was very satisfied with their surprise, but as if he didn't think that the shock was enough, so he added: "Forget what I said, these guys are all newly recruited, and they have only been doing it for less than ten days." ”
"What did you say?" Ma Long raised his head suddenly, looking at Liu Jin with red eyes.
