Chapter 81: The Popularity of Tea

After Li Yuanjia lost his temper, whether it was Wang Pu, Chen Mu, or the officials sent by the palace to manage those carpenters and miscellaneous servants, they finally became honest.

For the next three days, they were the ones who put a lot of pressure on the carpenters.

To put it bluntly, these troublemakers are just unconvinced of Chen Mu's age, so they just do some small tricks in private. It's not that Li Yuanjia is unwilling to intimidate them in person, it's that the gap between the identities and status of the two sides is too big, and Li Yuanjia will really lose face if he does it.

With Wang Pu and that middle-aged official, it was enough.

Anyway, on the third day, four guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead were brought out, and the middle-aged official directly ordered people to beat twenty boards one by one, and then sent them back despite their hoarse cries.

Killing chickens and monkeys has an excellent effect.

So the next 200 or so carpenters were very well-behaved, whether they were looking for masters in groups or learning to make parts for overturned cars, and no one dared to disobey them, let alone jump out to find trouble.

"Within ten days, we will definitely be able to start work at full speed!"

When he came to report to the king, Wang Pu swore and said: "Although these carpenters are all newcomers, they are all veterans, and this time they are only learning to make one part, and there is absolutely no problem in ten days." ”

"Hmm."

After listening to Wang Pu's words, Li Yuanjia just hummed briefly and didn't say anything.

The assembly line is really difficult to get out during the Tang Zhenguan period, but the difficulty is mainly in the deployment of a large number of people, so that they can rotate together like a sophisticated instrument, and the other is that the entire assembly line needs at least a dozen "team leaders", and they will allocate the manpower and resources of each link!

It's not really hard for the carpenters to make those accessories.

The reason why it took more than half a year was that Chen Mu and the others were just carpenters after all, and they couldn't read a few big characters, so they could only rely on Wang Pu to take time out of the papermaking workshop to help coordinate, and even come to Li Yuanjia from time to time to learn and learn from experience; Second, after all, it was not very urgent, and everyone didn't do it desperately.

But this time it was different, everyone was working at full strength, and there was a ready-made reference.

If compared with more than a thousand years later, it is very difficult to establish an assembly line in Datang, even if it is a super simple version of the assembly line, because of the quality of the supervisors and "workers", and Li Yuanjia can't really do it himself, so it is very difficult, and it took more than half a year to barely succeed.

Of course, this success means achieving the optimal configuration.

If it was just a simple frame erection so that carpenters and handymen could smoothly make a rollover with the assembly line, it would have been much earlier. It's just that the monthly output of more than 100 units at the beginning and the output of more than 300 units a month after the deployment is too big.

Fortunately, there are two sides to things, there is a difficult side, and there is an easy side.

The easy side is that once the assembly line is deployed, it will be very simple to expand it, as long as there are enough people, it can be easily done!

The modern production line needs a workshop, expensive equipment, and workers who have been trained for a long time, but the assembly line of the Datang version is extremely rough, there is no factory to produce in the open air, and the equipment is just some tools used by carpenters......

Strictly speaking, it is just a three-fold increase in the number of people on the basis of the original.

So when Wang Pu said that he could start work at full strength in ten days at most, and it was definitely not a problem to build a thousand overturned cars a month, Li Yuanjia didn't have the slightest suspicion - since he dared to promise the emperor, he naturally calculated it a long time ago.

After pondering for a while, Li Yuanjia nodded and said, "Okay, I've worked hard for you in the past two months...... Keep an eye on me! This time, I made a military order in front of His Majesty, and in the next two months, you will stare me to death in the overturning workshop, if anyone dares to stir up trouble, no matter who it is, give me a half-death first! ”

"Yes, King!"

With a pang in his heart, Wang Pu hurriedly bowed down.

With Li Yuanjia's words, he is completely confident in his heart.

Not convinced?

If you don't accept it, you will be convinced!

What if you were sent by His Majesty? This is Han Wang's Mansion, what else can you do to beat you? Can Your Majesty blame his own brother for a few carpenters, or for one or two lower-ranking officials?

Don't be funny!

Not to mention that there is a trend of drought in the world now, overturning is the most urgent thing at the moment, the workshop is full of people coming every day, almost one is built and one is transported away, who dares to be responsible if it is delayed?

After chatting a few more words, Wang Pu left with an excited face.

"Spring smoke, make me a pot of tea."

After sitting by himself for a while and rethinking the various numerical settings of Monopoly, Li Yuanjia suddenly asked: "By the way, has this year's new tea been delivered?" ”

"Back to the king, not yet."

While making tea for him, Chunyan blinked his eyes and smiled: "But Steward Han also said that it should be delivered in half a month at most, you can wait patiently for a few days." ”

"Well, okay."

Smacked his lips with some regret, and Li Yuanjia nodded helplessly.

In fact, in his previous life, he didn't like tea very much, but he preferred Coke, Sprite and other drinks, that is, he slowly quit after the age of 30 for physical considerations...... Again, don't think that doctors don't have any bad habits, in fact, there are many doctors who smoke, drink and drink Coke, because they are also ordinary people, so it is difficult to give up knowing what is harmful.

However, Datang doesn't have those carbonated drinks, and Li Yuanjia really doesn't have many choices.

And tea is a wonderful thing, and many people don't like it, but once you have no other options and start trying to drink it, there's a good chance you'll end up falling in love with it.

This is the reason why tea can become popular in the world and become a major beverage category in the future.

However, in the south, tea is more popular among the scholars, and in the north, only the monks in the temple feel that tea has the effect of refreshing the mind, which is conducive to them chanting scriptures and worshiping the Buddha, and others are really not interested.

At least for Li Shimin and others, they who are accustomed to all kinds of dairy products may not like tea in their lives.

"If it goes on like this, if you want it to become popular in Datang, I'm afraid it will take a long time!"

As soon as he thought of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others, who had never been interested in tea, Li Yuanjia felt funny: "And if my plan goes well, maybe the popularity of tea in those Fanstates will soon surpass that of Datang......"
