The greatest virtue of a ruler is to minimize the damage in a disaster.

Now that the coldest thirty-nine days have arrived, Zhao Zhen doesn't know how much role Wang Yan's honeycomb coal business has played, he just stood in the back garden sentimentally, looking up at the bigger and bigger snow.

I did my best to do what I had to do, and Zhao Zhen narcissistically thought that I, the emperor, didn't say how good I was, but I had a clear conscience.

This is Zhao Zhen's evaluation of himself this time, thinking about it this way, Zhao Zhen feels that his image has become taller, surpassing the previous emperors.

Until Bao Tietou, who personally visited the people's feelings, took a newspaper like a hiking explorer. Zhao Zhen smiled when he saw it, and said three words loudly: "Good, good, good!" ”

And then it's all in plain sight.

The emperor no longer needed to ask Wang Yan how to do it. In fact, Bao Zheng didn't know what Wang Yan was tossing specifically, but he found that a steady stream of furnaces and honeycomb coal came to life, and the output was increasing rapidly almost every day.

But all the residents of Kaifeng Mansion can line up to receive it. Because the emperor has already paid for these supplies.

So according to Bao Zheng's report: No one has frozen to death so far.

The other emperors didn't care. If you change to other people's reports, there will be water, but Bao Zheng is good at this, there will be no water, shriveled and cracked. It is all in vain to expect him to use his talent to write the newspaper beautifully.

Bao Zheng really wants to be an explorer now, his feet are full of mud and snow mixed with embarrassment, and his body is dirty, fortunately, it is winter, if he is virtuous in summer, his body will smell, and there will be a swarm of flies around him.

In the end, Lao Bao sued again: "Official, Wang Yan's actions are hateful. At first, Lao Chen was just concerned about his production capacity, after all, what he is producing now is what His Majesty has paid for in advance. However, when the old minister sent Zhanzhao to take people over to supervise, they called him back. ”

The emperor had a headache and said, "How can it have so many things?" ”

Bao Zheng said: "He said that it was the royal territory, and it was forbidden to spy on the secret recipe of production, so he colluded with the Imperial City Division." The Imperial City Division also accompanied him to mess around, and lawlessly sent the Imperial City Envoy to guard his honeycomb coal factory, which made no sense. ”

Zhao Zhen suddenly glanced at Lao Chen reproachfully, and the big yin man was embarrassed for a while, and he lowered his head and didn't quibble.

Zhao Zhen had to take the initiative to make an excuse and said: "I don't know about this matter, but it is indeed the royal land, and I also promised to allocate it to Wang Yan for use." There may be a misunderstanding, since it is royal land, it is not a big deal for Chief Manager Chen to send people to guard it, but it is a little out of place, and it will be over if it is corrected? ”

Bao Zheng thought about it and nodded: "The official Shengming, the old minister doesn't say much, just order the Imperial City Division to withdraw and recognize the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion, otherwise the Kaifeng Mansion will slowly become smaller and smaller, and there will be no Kaifeng Mansion, and it will become the Imperial City Division to enforce the law." ”

It is rare for Lao Bao to speak so well, which means that Wang Yan and Manager Chen are not excessive, so Zhao Zhen didn't care about it and slipped away before Bao Zheng continued to ramble......

Not far from the towering city wall of Bianjing, the current honeycomb coal plant is cold.

It's just a production area, there is no wall or anything, not even shelter from the wind. The few places with simple greenhouses are still used for snow shelter because of the needs of production.

The cold wind howled, mixed with the snow on the ground and trampled on it, and the whole production area was muddy, and the feet of the people working in it were all wet and numb.

Under normal circumstances, no one has been working for a long time. But the strange thing is that these people have frostbite, but they are still high morale, and there is a hot atmosphere inside, and even compete with each other to see who can do more and who can do better.

In the Great Song Dynasty, no one knows why there is such morale and labor efficiency, but the gods can do it.

On demagogic and mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm, the big goose is the pinnacle of the transformation realm.

So Wang Yan was not idle, dressed like a hairy bear, standing on a high shelf with an extremely earthy "megaphone", always brainwashing and encouraging these guys.

From time to time, he took the lead in singing two inspiring songs, and everyone would sing along, and work harder.

Wang Yan is the leader and leader, so there must be a backbone. So the right to use the Tiger Head Camp was also invited from the Privy Council. Wang Yan didn't want other soldiers, and when others came, they would also add to the chaos. Therefore, the old team Tiger Head Battalion is the first-level backbone, and the second-level backbone is the team of craftsmen from Shuzhou.

The craftsmen from all walks of life who were signed at the very low price at the beginning were mixed with a large group of grassroots people from Qingliu Mountain, and most of the people who could use it and were willing to enter Beijing basically brought it. They have also followed Wang Yan for some time, and they have been influenced by rules and "corporate culture".

So although it is not as good as Hutou Battalion, it is already a rare easy-to-use team in Dasong.

The tiger head battalion is responsible for supervising and leading everyone to work hard, and the craftsman is responsible for technology, and is responsible for continuously improving labor efficiency under some of Wang Yan's brains.

Now that the Imperial City Division has been disarmed, Bao Zheng has been able to enter this royal venue to watch and supervise, so of course Lao Bao can't sit still, and brings Zhanzhao and others to join in the fun.

The old bag does not affect everyone's work, and they are not afraid of getting dirty, walking in the snow, and looking at where to see here.

Different is different, at first Bao Zheng couldn't figure out why Wang Yan's production capacity could expand so quickly.

Coal sand needs to be mixed to effectively coagulate, which is not difficult. At first, Bao Zheng estimated that he would need a lot of labor to slowly increase the production of honeycomb coal if he was not proficient enough.

Now when I came in to see it, I was stunned, and Wang Yan didn't need to mix cinders manually.

As long as there is water and composite coal and sand material into it, after agitation, the composite material leaks down from the bottom of the funnel in the mother and child, the mother and child are like the revolver turntable, synchronized with the rotation of the big funnel, tilted down and filled with a mother and child, as soon as it turns, the roulette wheel moves out, and then waits for the big man next to it to knock it down with a special wooden sledgehammer, which is a honeycomb coal molding.

I heard everyone say that Wang Yan named this thing a mixer, like a grinding disc, through a few uncomplicated gear rod design, it is two cows pulling and driving.

The whole set of grassroots semi-automatic assembly line.

Of course, cinders don't need much manpower to feed into the big funnel, it's still semi-automatic, the total drive is two cows, all the operations are synchronized, from low to high there are things similar to conveyor belts running slowly, and there are only two workers below who rotate and keep putting cinders on the low conveyor belt, and constantly add compound material to the big funnel.

This set of equipment looks rough and primitive, especially rustic, but it is really not Zhan Wu. The so-called sharpening of knives does not mistake woodcutters is that Wang Yan gathered a team of 100 craftsmen and studied what was temporarily manufactured and operated for three days and nights.

In the early stage, of course, there were many problems, the problems of the connection and coordination of various parts were frequent, and there was no industrial design at all, and the blacksmith could not come up with the available forged bearings and gears in the short term, so many things had to be enlarged and replaced by some high-strength hardwoods in Wang Yan's impression.

The load-bearing and life of wood are limited, and the efficiency loss when fitting and running is large, so that the operation is of course grassroots, and of course there are many problems. Nor could the peak production as originally envisaged be reached.

But this doesn't matter, Wang Yan doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, as long as he can use it, all problems are found in actual operation and slowly solved.

Improving while operating, day and night.

Don't look at the fact that it has only been in operation for less than ten days, in fact, this semi-automatic production line has been improved several times, and it is a one-point five version.

There are still a lot of problems, but they are barely usable, and they are outrageously more efficient than full human operations. And accumulated a lot of experience in operation and maintenance.

Now Wang Yan has appointed several captains, who were the first to participate in the operation of the assembly line, so now they know where the most vulnerable and faulty parts of the machine are. It can be used, but it must be used with limited skill, so as not to go wrong. That's the captain's job.

Including the "mallet" who hits the honeycomb coal with a sledgehammer at the mother and child, it also needs to be experienced and trained. After all, it is a grassroots thing, and the mother and child are not strong, and they can't grasp the strength in the early stage of operation, or they will knock out the mother and child, let the whole machine stop, or the strength will not be enough, and the honeycomb coal will slowly spread out after it comes out and cannot be used.

So it's awesome, this set of semi-assembly lines stabilized for the first time, as the first generation of stable equipment to expand production, so now the entire construction site is full of such assembly lines, as many as more than 30 groups, and manufacturing equipment more and more skilled craftsmen are still accelerating the production of equipment, by the way to collect information feedback from workers after operation to improve.

It's so awesome, Bao Zheng and Zhanzhao looked directly at it with their mouths half-open.

So Lao Bao's idea is that honeycomb coal is not difficult, but it must be synthesized artificially, and if the workers are skilled and the workers are hardworking and not lazy, a worker can produce seven to ten coals in a quarter of an hour. That's about it.

So now my jaw dropped, Wang Yan's set of assembly lines, two hammer hands, two captains, two coal producers, two cows, let's count ten laborers, but they came out with honeycomb coal in less than one breath.

A quarter of an hour is more than 200 coals, and the most conservative estimate is that the efficiency has been at least doubled.

And this is only now, there are still many machine problems, the proficiency of assembly line workers is not enough, and there are still many flaws in cooperation and management.

In short, there are too many things that can be improved, and now I am afraid that even the two layers of skills have not been brought into play, if it develops in the future, Bao Zheng does not dare to think about what it will be.

In this way, Bao Zheng was full of curiosity about this place, always observing everywhere, and did not want to leave even when it was cold.
