Chapter Seventy-Seven: Building the Foundation (End)
Back on Nanao Island, Chen Kaimeng found that he went to meet Zheng Chenggong once, but the problem of soliciting immigrants was still not solved. This matter, not only because he didn't ask, but also because of Zheng Chenggong's posture, it was clear that he wanted to pull an idle laborer into the barracks when he saw it, and he was full of satisfaction to expand the army and pull people to work on Nanao Island, so naturally he didn't have to bother to ask.
The work of the old departments of the Ordnance Bureau only needs to be carried out in a step-by-step manner. In the past four months this year, a large number of weapons have been produced, and they are still being produced, as long as Hong Xu's raw materials can keep up, with Zheng Chenggong's current expansion speed and the types of weapons needed, it is still enough to meet his needs.
The order to merge the military uniform tailoring workshop into the Ordnance Bureau was conveyed at the first time. Including the officials in charge, there was jubilation from top to bottom - not to mention, the welfare of the Ordnance Bureau is the best in all departments, that is, the official has also been transferred to Haiyang County to be the chief secretary, and the leap from official to official is not beautiful.
Like the original Ordnance Bureau, that is, the Ordnance Workshop last year, the military uniform tailoring workshop did not have many employees, a dozen or so reluctant tailors, and that's it. Chen Kai turned around, assessed the work efficiency, and soon couldn't stand it.
The old-style production mode and the old-style management model, Chen Kai, who was used to staying in the Ordnance Bureau, felt unbearable about it, and even felt that even these rooms in the workshop were gray and lifeless.
Immediately, Chen Kai announced that the military uniform tailoring workshop would be merged into the Ordnance Bureau, and all personnel would enjoy the same treatment as the Ordnance Bureau.
The treatment has been improved, and the management model of the Ordnance Bureau will naturally have to keep up, Chen Kai specially brought the rat whiskers and a supervisor over and asked them to take charge of the work here. Of course, these alone are far from being able to achieve Zheng Chenggong's task, so Chen Kai decided to make another trick, a trick similar to the one he used in the Ordnance Bureau earlier.
"You are all experts, and you can trust your craft. However, according to the fact that he is so tailored, he will not want to meet the needs of the army in this life. ”
After slashing his head and covering his face, Chen Kai then said to the few master-level tailors: "Today, give you a day to wait, don't do anything, according to your memory and relevant records, you will make several of the most common clothing sizes and make ready-to-wear clothes, and hand them over to Steward Cai." ”
After saying it to these people, Chen Kai turned his head and said to the rat's beard: "Steward Cai, get the size, you have your own job." Tomorrow, the official himself will also see the relevant results. ”
"Obey orders, please join the army rest assured, our military uniform tailoring workshop will definitely not let you down."
From a bookkeeper to the current manager of a workshop under the Ordnance Bureau, the rat beard has been substantially improved, whether it is monthly money or position. At this moment, he changed his usual appearance, and replied loudly to Chen Kai's order, probably if he didn't care about his status higher than those pure illiterates, patting his chest in front of him might not be possible.
Chen Kai didn't just change the system and send trustworthy people to control this. The work was decentralized, and Chen Kai left here, but the list of Zhang Bang's hiring casual workers was still posted.
"The military uniform tailoring workshop under the Ordnance Bureau recruits female workers, who are required to be good at cutting and sewing, and their wages are paid on a piece-rate basis, and they are settled every day, and there is no arrears. To register, please go to the military uniform tailoring workshop, the left ear room, and find Master Zhou Laifu for testing, and select the best. ”
The little official shouted loudly in front of the list, and soon gathered a large number of big girls and little daughters-in-law. On Nanao Island, Zheng Chenggong recruited a large number of soldiers under the recruitment tree, whether it was in the city or on the entire island, as soon as the army came out, it was inevitable that the yin and yang would decline. These women are either fathers and brothers in the army, or husbands are in the army, and even if their families are not in the army, there is no shortage of neighbors, relatives, and family members of close friends. The Ordnance Bureau is not a stranger to them.
"It's Chen who joins the army to recruit workers, listen to my brother, Chen joins the army is the most sympathetic, and the monthly money of the Ordnance Bureau has never been in arrears."
"That's it, that's it, I heard my man say that all the weapons in the army rely on Chen to join the army, and now the surname of the country has also given the military uniform tailoring workshop to Chen to join the army, it's really good, my man probably won't need to wear his own clothes to fight soon."
“……”
Chen Kai is an official, but what he does in the Ordnance Bureau is what these ordinary people like to see. There is a good official in the style of Haiqingtian, this is the most common saying on Nanao Island, and for Qing officials, he is also more able to gain the trust of ordinary people, not to mention Chen Kai's ability is also obvious to all.
I went to the military uniform tailoring workshop to see the excitement, and some of them went home to discuss, and some of them went to try it out, and when they got home, they also said that the test was not very difficult, just cutting the fabric and sewing the two pieces of cloth together, it was as simple as that. However, the crowd under the list has never been broken, so that the little official is so busy that he doesn't even have the time to drink saliva. However, even if his mouth is dry, he doesn't dare to be resentful, let alone slack off, if nothing else, just because of the word Chen Kai, this is enough.
Things are properly arranged, and the rest can be handed over to the subordinates to do, there is no need to do everything yourself, at least Chen Kai doesn't plan to exhaust himself to death, it will be too much to lose.
The next day, Chen Kai was on duty normally, and the rat beard came to check Chen Kai with something early in the morning, and the spirit leader looked at Wang Fugui and the others with envy.
Chen Kai wanted something, in fact, it was the standard size of the ready-to-wear in later generations, he didn't plan to copy the size of the later generations, so he simply let the tailors diverge on their own, determined the size, and turned the tailors into a fixed size, and the size difference was modified by themselves, so that the work efficiency of the tailors could be improved to the greatest extent.
Of course, it's not just that simple, if it's just that, Chen Kai won't have to go to great lengths to recruit any female workers - since he wants to play, then play a big one.
"Joining the army, this is the size of each piece of each partition of every size, and the lowly duty has specially made the tailors cut another unsewn one."
The size of the clothes is broken down into sleeves, collars, front hearts, backs, cuffs and many other components that make up a piece of clothing, which are placed in front of Chen Kai.
After a few strokes on the table, Chen Kai nodded, and then said to the mouse beard: "Steward Cai, how much can each piece of fabric carry, and how to carry it, let the tailors make the paper look like first, and then let those female workers cut and sew." However, you must supervise and manage well, and let them take away the cloth, but you must not let them be so greedy that it will increase the consumption of cloth. ”
"The humble position understands that the humble position must live up to the trust of joining the army."
The division of labor is still the division of labor, Chen Kai's method is, to put it bluntly, to imitate the method of garment manufacturing in later generations, anyway, what he wants this time is quantity, not others. As for which range the soldiers' sizes can belong to, he is not in a hurry, and when the first batch of finished products is delivered, he will find Ye Yiyun to help organize some people to measure the size, and he can save a lot of money on hiring professional tailors. And now this group of tailors, in addition to making cardboard molds, can also be specially tailored to those officers, so that the whole army can take care of everything.
Chen Kai gave this opportunity to make meritorious service to the mouse beard, and the mouse beard was very happy, and he was also grateful to Chen Kai. It's just that it's not as good as the Ordnance Bureau, where men and women work together after all, and some things have to be explained in advance.
"Your task is very heavy, but I don't want to hear even one of those dirty things like cheating, obscenity, and **."
"Please rest assured that the lowly duty must be watched, whoever dares to hook up and partner, the lowly duty will beat out the mess, and never let those pickled goods ruin the reputation of our Ordnance Bureau."
"Good."
Whether the unspoken rules of the workplace will be stifled, Chen Kai does not dare to guarantee, but the office romance is estimated to have been blacklisted by rat whiskers. As a single dog at this stage, Chen Kai nodded contentedly.
