Chapter 17: Exploitation (3)
Leisure time always flies by, especially for these heavy manual workers who have not rested for half a year.
Early in the morning of the first day of the fifth month, the craftsmen rushed to the armory workshop with much brisk steps on weekdays. Along the way, they exchanged what they had done during the rest yesterday, some talking and laughing, more lifeless than before, as if they had changed one, no, a new group of people.
"All the soup!"
"Here!"
“……”
Roll call sooner or later, this is a rule that Chen Kai had set the day before yesterday. In fact, the ordnance workshop is not without this in the morning, but Chen Kai set it as a system, craftsmen arrive, confirm the value by name, issue work indicators and plans, and occasionally use this to make rewards and punishments public, thinking that it is also a good thing to whip and incentive.
In the small courtyard, the craftsmen stood in the courtyard, and with the roll call of the rat's whiskers, everyone responded one after another. Chen Kai stood in front of the door of the official room, observing everyone's expressions, and secretly laughed in his heart.
"Tell me to join the army, the blacksmith group should be eight people, but there are eight people, and the carpenter group should be nine people, and the actual number is nine, and the roll call is complete."
"Good."
Nodding, Chen Kai glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "Looking at the complexion of the gentlemen, I don't know how much stronger than before." It seems that this day's rest is indeed necessary. ”
Chen Kai is like this, and everyone is also smiling. The existence of public holidays, and later generations have made up jokes that make people laugh at it, and there are even work arrangements according to psychological changes and labor enthusiasm. But here, no one ponders what Monday syndrome, what Friday afternoon is the hardest, and in their opinion, yesterday's rest is only beautiful, and nothing else.
"There is a saying that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, since you had a good time yesterday, why not tell everyone about it and share it?"
As soon as these words came out, there were those who were eager to try, especially the half-grown children in the apprentices. However, it is not as good as the communication between them, in front of Chen Kai, an official, there will always be a little cringe. Seeing this, Chen Kai simply ordered Lin Zhengzhong's son and asked the youngest and most expressive half-eldest son to speak.
"Told to join the army, I slept a lot in the morning, and in the afternoon I went to the moat with Brother Tang to fish."
"How many touches?"
"There are several, all of them are put in the bamboo basket, and the mother cooks fish for the villain to eat at night, but it is fragrant."
As he spoke, the kid of the Lin family subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Chen Kai also smiled when he heard this, and turned to Tang Quanyou's son and asked, "His mother cooked fish for him to eat, and you went to fish together, what about you?" ”
"The villain's mother makes steamed fish, which is more fragrant."
"Steaming is also very good, appetizing and nourishing blood, very good." Chen Kai responded with a smile to the half-grown child's show-off, and soon everyone talked about yesterday's events. Some slept in, some went to the streets and shops in the city, some repaired furniture at home, and even a carpenter took the time to repair the roof of the house in response to the torrential rains in the summer on this southern island.
How the craftsmen took advantage of this day of rest is not enough. After hearing this, Chen Kai also smiled, and then brought the topic back again.
"It seems that all the monarchs are resting well, in this case, the official has decided that from now on, every ten days in the future, you can rest for the tenth day, just like yesterday."
"Joining the army is sympathetic and gracious, and we will never dare to forget it."
The people who were smashed by the pie were stunned for a moment, and as a young man fell to the ground with a pop, everyone expressed their sincere gratitude to Chen Kai as they did. On the other hand, those older craftsmen were mostly nervous and slowed down by half a beat.
"Gentlemen, please rise, gentlemen, please."
A smile spread across everyone's face, as did worry. All of this is in Chen Kai's eyes. It's a pity that he has never been a philanthropist, let alone an activist who advocates the protection of labor rights, he believes that what he pays must be gained, and he will naturally not face everyone's doubts at this moment to do such a loss-making business.
"This official has only been in office for three days in this armory workshop, and he has been committed to improving the working environment of the princes, and now it has achieved remarkable results, and the official is very happy. However, the state affairs are as urgent as a spark, and you need to devote yourself to the work with more enthusiasm, so the official decided that from now on, the number of blacksmiths in each group of blacksmiths will be increased from 3 to 6, and the number of production standards in the carpenter group will also be increased. Wait, do you have any objections? ”
Chen Kai said this, and the atmosphere in the small courtyard immediately fell to the freezing point. The smiles on the faces of the craftsmen condensed, and the laughter that was still there was no more, and all that remained was unimaginable shock.
"Joining the army, 6 gun heads, fully doubled, this is really impossible, I hope to join the army to understand."
The pie was originally a trap, and Chen Kai improved their treatment in the past few days, but it turned out to be on this. The carpenter group is okay, after all, Chen Kai did not put out a clear number, and there are still fantasies in his heart, but the blacksmiths are different, they have changed from the original 3 to 6, and the workload has doubled.
"And how many do you think you can produce?"
"Villain, villain......"
Tang Quanyou questioned Chen Kai's order, and was immediately questioned by Chen Kai. Being asked directly by a civil official, especially the answer will affect and even determine the fate of everyone present, at this moment, it has already made him so nervous that he can't even say half a sentence.
"You can do it."
Chen Kai's cold gaze swept around, and everyone didn't dare to face it. At this point, Chen Kai's momentum is even better than just now: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the ancestor once served in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry." As you are like this, in the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, you can't say that you are going home, and your ass is not open to be called fresh. ”
"In a whole day, two or three blacksmiths in groups made 3 spear heads, and the official saw that it was You Er's lunch and the gentlemen's lack of food and strength, so they turned a blind eye the day before yesterday. Whether you can do it, how much you can do, I believe that your hearts are better than your own officials. As for the difference, there may be, but the official has his own means, and you just need to do your best. ”
This was calculated by Chen Kai earlier, a maternal ancestor once served in the Ministry of Industry, and the insider identity revealed suddenly made everyone present speechless. Besides, Chen Kai has already dumped the blame for the previous sabotage on You Er, and they can be regarded as excusable. It's just that it has more than doubled all of a sudden, but it still makes them feel unacceptable.
"Joining the Army......"
"You must have confidence in your abilities, and you must have confidence in your own officials. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't have confidence, if you can't complete this batch of tasks, this officer will leave the armory workshop. It's just that at that time, the mid-day break, the increase in lunch, and all the preferential treatment in the future will say goodbye to you. Are you willing to follow me Chen Kai to do things well and have a better life, or go back to the hard days of the past, and wait for yourself! ”
Everything that happened when he was resting yesterday was deliberately led out by Chen Kai and fermented, who knew that he would have to return to the previous days next. It can be gone, it can't be there, although Xiu Mu is only one day, it has a really big impact on their hearts. Once they really go back to the past, they have been suffering day after day, and now even when they think about them, they all have a painful look on their faces.
Pain and beauty collided with each other, and the collision brought touch, and gradually, the three blacksmith masters began to whisper, and after a while, the three of them reached an agreement, and Tang Quanyou stood up and saluted Chen Kai.
"Joining the army, 6, it's too many, forgive me for being really powerless." Speaking of this, Tang Quanyou changed his words: "However, I am willing to do my best, and I only hope that joining the army can take me to live a good life, and not return to the way I was." With that, Tang Quanyou fell to the ground, and then the other two blacksmith masters and five apprentices also bowed down.
Seeing this, Chen Kai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at the carpenters. As if sensing what Chen Kai was referring to, the carpenters looked at the blacksmiths, and had to bow to the ground in the same way, saying that they would do their best.
In Chen Kai's view, the previous ordnance workshop was just a stupid enterprise management model soaked in corruption and selfish desires. The ancient generals still knew that they needed to be severely punished and rewarded in order to get the soldiers' lethal strength, and how could they mobilize the enthusiasm of the employees if they blindly pressed like You Er?
And now, the enthusiasm of the craftsmen has been mobilized, Chen Kai had previously expelled You Er strongly, so as to establish prestige, and then took advantage of this to increase the lunch ratio, and even gave them a day off when the time was so tight, for this, it can be said that they have done enough money. Now that the radish has been hung in front of the donkey's eyes, don't worry that they don't stride forward in the direction guided by Chen Kai!
"In that case, let's get to work."
