On the second day after Chongzhen visited the hydraulic drilling machine of Wang Gong Factory, the production of smoothbore flintlock pistols officially began, and the Donglin Party really stumbled Zhu Shun again.

The craftsmen of Wang Gong's factory went on strike with all the craftsmen, and without these craftsmen, no amount of hydraulic drilling machines could make a smoothbore flintlock pistol.

The Donglin Party is worthy of being the longest-standing party in the Ming Dynasty, and it survived the Qi Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Eunuch Party, and finally the dominant family controlled the government.

If you don't make a move, you will hit Zhu Shun's key point as soon as you make a move, if it is an ordinary craftsman strike, forget it, the key strikes are all craftsmen who have been doing it for decades.

Without the guidance and supervision of the craftsman, ordinary craftsmen are likely to have many problems such as the cold bone being welded together because the cold bone is not drawn out in time, or the thickness of the barrel is uneven, resulting in many problems such as explosive chambering.

Every skilled craftsman is a valuable asset for Wang Gong factory, without the support of the craftsmen, Wang Gong factory is really going to stop production.

Even if Zhu Shun buys ordinary craftsmen, he is also a group of wastes who can only make waste.

Craftsmanship is a thing, you can't take the slightest bit of ingenuity, you can only stay up for time, and you can't become a craftsman without twenty or thirty years of experience.

Zhu Shun seems to be in a desperate situation.

At this time, Zhu Shun sat on the bank of the Yongding River, holding a white porcelain bowl, eating the bread in his hand leisurely with the well water in the bowl.

After eating this piece of bread, Zhu Shun's breakfast and lunch were settled together, and he stood up and walked to the craftsman's room.

All the craftsmen gathered in a shed, gambling in the shed with horse tags, anyway, with the support of the Donglin Party, they were not afraid of Zhu Shun to rectify them.

After this month, Zhu Shun is no longer their top boss, and there is no need to be afraid of him.

The other young craftsmen stood by and watched, not daring to help Zhu Shun, for fear of upsetting the craftsman and not teaching them the craft.

If they offend Zhu Shun, they will suffer at most, and if they offend the craftsman, they will lose their jobs, after all, they are not very old and do not have so much experience, so they can't cast bird guns alone.

Zhu Shun walked over and said something that made the craftsmen feel ridiculous: "All the craftsmen come with me." ”

Now there was no master craftsman to speak, and the little craftsmen dared to go over and looked up at the head craftsman.

The craftsmen didn't understand what Zhu Shun meant, did they want to buy the craftsmen, so let him buy it, and let the craftsmen send the benefits over when they turned around.

The craftsmen couldn't help laughing, Zhu Shun was also a craftsman, and he was still the only young craftsman in Wang Gong's factory, how could he even forget this truth.

"Go, go, Zhu Zhangchang has spoken, if you don't go, be careful to give you little shoes to wear."

"Haha, yes, he is not a craftsman now, he is the head of Wang Gong's factory, and he has a lot of power."

"Lao Zhao, don't care what he does, the person who is about to get out of Wang Gongchang, come, and continue to gamble."

Zhu Shun didn't care about the cynicism of the craftsmen, it was not interesting to fight for these verbal pleasures, and gathered all the craftsmen together with an indifferent expression.

The first words he said immediately caused a commotion among the craftsmen: "Do any of you want to be the head of the craftsman?" ”

Zhu Shun, as the head of Wang Gongchang, does have the power to promote people to be the head of the craftsman, and the small craftsmen who have been oppressed by the head of the craftsman, the biggest wish in this life is that the daughter-in-law becomes the head of the mother-in-law.

Now that they suddenly heard that Zhu Shun was going to promote them to be the head craftsmen, the craftsmen were all restless, staring at Zhu Shun excitedly.

The craftsmen in the shed, some were playing horse tags and gambling money, and more were standing by and watching, and when they heard that Zhu Shun was going to promote these craftsmen to be the head craftsmen, they all laughed.

One of the craftsmen surnamed Sun couldn't stand it, and sneered: "If you want to promote them to be the head craftsmen, you can, the key is that they have to have the ability to be able to do it." ”

What the craftsman surnamed Sun said is very reasonable, even if Zhu Shun promotes them to be the head craftsman, they don't have the ability to do the work of the head craftsman, the craftsmen themselves are all half-, where can they guide others to make bird guns.

Zhu Shun knew that not only did the craftsmen not believe it, but the craftsmen themselves did not have the confidence to do the work of the craftsman.

In the face of this dilemma of stumbling on the outside and someone making trouble inside, if it is anyone, even Xu Guangqi, the number one boss in the scientific community in the Ming Dynasty, there is no way.

Only Zhu Shun can solve the current situation.

The biggest difference between an industrial society and an agricultural society is that the agricultural society relies on manpower, and the industrial society depends on material resources.

As an agricultural society, the Ming Dynasty, whether it was casting bird guns or armor weapons, relied heavily on the craftsmanship of craftsmen for good or bad.

Industrial societies are different.

Zhu Shun was lazy to talk nonsense with these old fritters, and gave the craftsmen sweet dates, so he was about to give them a big stick: "You all come with me, whoever dares not to come, get out of here now." ”

As long as Zhu Shun is still in charge of the factory, he has the right to let any craftsman get out, and the craftsmen are worried about losing their jobs, so they hurriedly follow.

Coming to the bank of the Yongding River, in addition to the shed where the hydraulic drilling machine is placed, there are three rows of large sheds.

Zhu Shun selected the first thirty craftsmen to follow, came to the shed where the hydraulic drilling machine was placed, picked up an iron rod, and began to teach them how to use the hydraulic drilling machine: "Whoever of you has the highest output will be the head craftsman of this line in the future." ”

Young people's learning ability is much faster than that of older people, and hydraulic drilling machines are not very complicated, so it is easy to get started.

In only half a day's work, the 30 craftsmen basically learned the use of hydraulic drilling machines, and then more than 400 craftsmen witnessed a miraculous scene.

There is no need for cold bones, no beating, no welding, and a hydraulic drilling machine drills out a section of barrel.

The others couldn't be idle, and they were taken to the other three sheds by Zhu Shun: "You are responsible for the construction of the butt of the gun, whoever produces the most will be the craftsman of this line in the future." ”

"You are responsible for making the fire curtains, the main springs of the turbines, the hammers, and the wooden boards erected next to the cutting boards have drawings and precision requirements, and whoever produces the most is the master of the line."

Zhu Shun dared to boast that he would deliver a thousand bird guns, and he was not afraid of the skilled old craftsmen, so he quit.

The key lies in the two major advantages of industrial society, mass production, cheapness, and mass production greatly reduce the dependence of goods on people.

Zhu Shun divided the manufacture of smoothbore flintlock pistols into four lines, the first line was responsible for manufacturing the barrel, the second line was responsible for the buttstock, and the third line was responsible for the manufacture of parts.

Finally, all of them are summarized into the fourth line, which is responsible for assembling the barrels, butts, and parts manufactured by the first three lines.

In this way, each craftsman only needs to master what he wants to cast in his own line, and there is no need to be able to master every step of the bird's gun making as before.

It greatly reduces the training time of a qualified craftsman, and it used to take decades to train a qualified craftsman, but now it does not take a few years or a few months to become proficient.

The craftsmen in Wang Gong's factory have been working for at least three or five years, and they have a certain experience base, and they can easily get started in only two or three days.

Zhu Shun looked at the four lines on the bank of the Yongding River and looked at the craftsmen who were working hard in full swing, and a great sense of accomplishment appeared in his heart.

The first military line of the Ming Dynasty was established.
