Chapter 18: Exploitation (4)

"The villain obeys."

The craftsmen stood up, bowed their hands, and then turned back to the factory. The familiar sound of percussion and tug-of-war sounded again, Chen Kai turned to Wang Fugui and said, "Inform the room, cook more food, and boil more water." It is estimated that they will be very tired today, and the water must be in place. ”

"The villain is going to go."

Chen Kai is creating miracles, such as Ke Chenmei, such as Mouse Beard, Wang Fugui and other overseers are all witnessing all this. The rejuvenation of the craftsmen is in everyone's eyes, which makes their eyes look at Chen Kai when they look at it again, and the most obvious change is that in that complicated gaze, the fear of the subordinates for the superior's power has begun to be gradually submerged. What I am looking forward to now is nothing more than how much production capacity can be increased by Chen Kai's means.

As soon as the arrangements were completed, Chen Kai returned to the office and continued the unfinished work yesterday. Blacksmiths have the problem of undercapacity, but if they only produce spears, carpenters will have the problem of overcapacity, and this problem must be solved. Of course, Chen Kai never thought about reducing production, and what he needed was nothing more than another channel for the output of production capacity.

"It's a multiple-choice question, I only have the right to come up with it, and every option is the correct answer, but I can only choose a single question. Which one to choose, you have to let Zheng Chenggong figure it out by himself. ”

This is not a matter of urgency, one morning, Chen Kai was in the official room, and he had no intention of inspecting the factory at all. In addition to official business, when I was extremely bored, I also listened carefully to the crackling of iron in the factory, and gradually it was lunch time.

Chen Kai's lunch was still delivered by the Zheng family's little servant, and it was already placed in the official room. Chen Kai came out with the little guy and let him go, while he himself paced to the side of the crowd in front of the house again.

With Yuji's lesson, the food in the room has made a substantial leap. The big bucket of multigrain rice was steaming, and Wang Fugui's daughter-in-law scooped a big bowl full of Dengdeng, and even told everyone loudly that the bowl could be refilled if it was not enough.

"It is a good tradition to refill the bowl, when the official went south, he saw that the restaurant could refill the bowl, we are the imperial court's ordnance workshop, there is no reason not to let the craftsman be full."

Can you refill the bowl when you eat at the restaurant?

This is something that Wang Fugui has never heard of, but since Chen Kai is a "scholar" and can travel thousands of miles, then the people who go in and out should also be in the restaurants where rich people go, maybe it is impossible to say that kind of place can really refill the bowl.

"It's all based on the teachings of joining the army, and I waited until I gained knowledge."

The nodding overseer had always been synonymous with ferocity in front of the craftsmen, but at this moment, no one would be surprisedβ€”not unusual, but today's meal was much more abundant than before.

The big bowl of multigrain rice is still a few pickles, but there is also a very Teochew home-style fried hemp leaves with Puning bean sauce, and the craftsmen of each group can get a big bowl, which happens to be eaten together by the master and apprentice. In addition, on the island, there are many people who eat by the sea, and the seafood is relatively cheaper, and a large bucket of green vegetables and shrimp skin is boiled, and the green vegetable and shrimp skin soup with sea salt is also very warm. Only the miscellaneous servants are still vegetable porridge, but they are no longer as thin and watery as before, and it takes more time to plug in the chopsticks and fall down, and there are a lot more green vegetables in it, which looks delicious.

After reading it, Chen Kai chatted with the craftsmen who were already eating, turned his head, and expressed his appreciation for the work of the new house - it is impossible to expect cats not to steal fish, and it is unavoidable in modern enterprises, let alone now. However, as long as it can be maintained at a point that does not affect the motivation of work, it is not unacceptable.

Craftsmen can eat enough, this is the bottom line that cannot be violated, because craftsmen have no strength if they can't eat, and it will affect the output. And Chen Kai, never allow this to happen!

"Joining the army, the villain stared carefully, and in the morning's work, the three groups of blacksmiths made a total of 5 spear heads, and another 1 could be completed without a blade. Joining the army is really a man of God, just a little means can make these lazy bones obey, and the villain sincerely worships. ”

Wang Fugui's sycophants were loud, Chen Kai just smiled indifferently, replied, "This is just the beginning", and went back to the official room to eat. On average, each group of blacksmiths made two spears in the morning, or four in a day, and there was an increase, which he had already expected when he listened to the increase in the frequency of striking iron in the morning in the office. However, this amplitude is far from enough to reach the goal.

"Let the room prepare dinner for the craftsman, and the official wants to see what the effect of overtime will be."

After lunch, take a short break and start work again. As Chen Kai expected, when it was time to get off work on weekdays, each group of blacksmiths came out with four gun heads.

There was some dissatisfaction with the overtime, but the momentum had not yet been relieved, and Chen Kai said that he needed more observation before he could further adjust the work plan. However, the craftsmen did not have much hope for the effect that the so-called adjustment of the work plan could achieve, after all, the manpower was probably up to this part, but they only silently accepted overtime.

After overtime meals, the craftsmen started work again, but as the sky became darker, Chen Kai had to let people hold torches to continue to maintain production. It's just that even if the lamp is in hand, the brightness is still not much better, and the light is dim, the craftsmen have also worked for a day, the fatigue is too high, the efficiency of production has dropped sharply, and it took a long time to drive out the fifth gun head that Chen Kai requested, but it was already too tired to look good.

"You have worked hard today, and you will go to work half an hour later tomorrow."

Looking at the tired figures of these people, Chen Kai knew that it was one thing to not adapt to the new rhythm of work, but if the two of each group were poor, it was still a huge problem. After thinking about it, he had to sigh and say: "It seems that doing this, producing 15 pipettes per day is already the limit." ”

………………

"You're saying that each group of blacksmiths made an extra one?"

"Yes, brother. When the younger brother returned, the workshop was still working overtime, and there should be one more for each group of blacksmiths, and there should be 15 of them. ”

After the overtime, Chen Kai returned to the town to rest. Long before the start of the overtime, Ke Chenmei, who was on duty during the day, had already returned home, and was chatting with Ke Chenshu, who had just returned home from the main town mansion. Chen Kai showed an empty glove white wolf-style preferential treatment today, which did make the discerning person understand what he had done before, but the final effect was still far from meeting expectations.

"In the past few days, the foolish brother has heard that many people in the army and in the scenes are watching his jokes. Loyal to the Marquis, Zhongjingbo, Zhongdingbo, Zhongkuangbo, only Zhongzhenbo is probably still avoiding suspicion. ”

Zhongyong Hou Chen Bao, Zhongjing Bo Chen Hui, Zhongding Bolin Xishan, Zhongzhen Bo Hongxu, Zhongkuangbo Zhang Jin, these people are all old generals of the Zheng Group who followed Zheng Zhilong in the early years, and now follow Zheng Chenggong's generals to resist the Qing Dynasty, the so-called old brothers in Chen Bao's mouth. Chen Kai slapped Hong Xu's face on the matter of You Er, and they naturally had thoughts of the death of a rabbit and a fox and a sad thing. Looking at the joke, it's already very polite.

Chen Kai's situation was not good, and Ke Chenmei couldn't help frowning, and then thought of another more decisive figure.

"What about the country's surname?"

"There has been no mention of the ordnance workshop over there, and in the opinion of Brother Yu, there is probably not much hope for the report."

Speaking of this, Ke Chenshu couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's a bit too exaggerated to double the output. Even if each group of blacksmiths now makes 5, it is not enough. Moreover, overtime work should not become a common practice, otherwise the craftsman will be resentful and think that the gains outweigh the losses, and the previous efforts will be wasted. ”

After thinking about it, Ke Chenshu didn't come up with a reason, so he had to ask his younger brother: "Didn't that Chen join the army say anything?" ”

Ke Chenshu thought about this question again, and so did Ke Chenmei, who was in the arsenal workshop. However, his brother didn't come up with a clue, he thought about it, and he had to shake his head and reply, "No." ”

"Could it be that this Chen joins the army really stops there?"
