Text Chapter 420 Production as usual during the Chinese New Year
The relocation of the factory should have been fully responsible for Zhao Datie's father, but Zhao Dad was also responsible for the construction of Liujiabao, which can be said to be lacking in skills.
This He Ergou was originally the military attache of Zhenbeibao, and he was very familiar with the situation in Zhenbeibao, so he didn't have any prevarication about this task.
From the beginning of the first month, He Ergou began to carry out the overall relocation of the Zhenbeibao factory.
When the factory is relocated, the problems involved can be described as multifaceted. Among them, there are problems with the installation and commissioning of factory equipment, as well as the placement of engineers, technicians, craftsmen, and workers.
At this time, Liu Renyu's Liujiapu mixed commercial and residential area had already repaired some houses, some of which were detached villas with courtyards, and these high-quality houses could be provided to engineers to live in.
Engineers are the technical basis of the Jingbianbao industrial manufacturing plant, and the internal driving force for the development of Jingbianbao's industry and commerce, so they are qualified and entitled to enjoy good living conditions.
As for the technician, you can allocate a street-side apartment, with four bedrooms and two living rooms, with a newly developed oak flush toilet and running water, which is quite convenient. Craftsmen can be assigned to three-bedroom, two-living apartments, which also have oak flush toilets and running water, and the treatment is not bad.
Comparatively speaking, workers were not treated well, and they could live in collective staff dormitories, four-person rooms, the same as the standard dormitories of later universities.
For Liu Renyu's arrangement, neither engineers, nor technicians, craftsmen and workers have any objections, which is very fair.
In view of the importance of industrial production to the economy of Jingbianbao, after the official relocation of the factory was completed, full production began from the beginning of the first month.
Of course, since the workers work overtime on statutory holidays, their wages have tripled, so the workers have no complaints, and they are happy to work overtime in the factory.
Today, when Liu Renyu came to the gate of the industrial manufacturing plant, there were still many caravans escorted by the dart bureau coming out of the factory, ready to transport the goods produced here to the northern provinces for sale.
Liu Renyu looked at these cargo transport convoys, very satisfied, after all, the goods produced by his own family are selling well, and anyone who sees them will be happy.
"Yo, Dashuai, what kind of wind blew you here?"
It is said that when Liu Renyu was thinking about his own thoughts, he didn't watch out for a familiar voice in the distance.
Liu Renyu followed the direction where the voice came to take a look, but found that it was He Ergou who came. When Liu Renyu arrived at the industrial manufacturing plant, it was natural that someone would report to He Ergou that he would know, so He Ergou hurriedly came out of the office building and came to see Liu Renyu.
"Ergou, yesterday the old brothers in the family had a party, because you were very busy, I didn't invite you to go, don't be angry!" Liu Renyu looked at He Ergou and joked from afar.
"My handsome, you just invited me, I don't have time to go, our factory relocation and start work are complicated, I haven't been busy yet, now the scale of our factory has expanded, but the workers are not enough, handsome, do you think you want to recruit more workers?" He Ergou had a bitter face and pleaded.
"What's the matter, aren't there enough workers?" Liu Renyu asked with a smile.
"It's really not enough, Sichuan, Henan, Shandong, Beizhili, and Jingshi are urging the goods, especially the Jingshi side, I heard that our products are selling very well, and they are in short supply, but we don't have enough workers, and we can't supply them in time, and there are many businessmen over there who are simply blocking my door, urging the goods every day!" He Ergou sighed for a long time.
"Yes, this means that the matter of recruiting workers can no longer be delayed, and it must be done immediately, so let's do it, you will recruit workers tomorrow, and now our army has recruited full soldiers, and you can only pick the remaining young and strong. Remember our hiring conditions.
The standard eight-hour work system, with five insurances and one housing fund, six days of work and one day off, if it is a holiday, overtime should be paid overtime, and the monthly money is ten taels of silver a month. The number of workers should be set at about 3,000. Have you made a note of it? Liu Renyu told He Ergou.
"The last general has written it down, please rest assured, the last general will definitely handle this matter." He Ergou replied with a glen eye.
"Very good, since you are in charge here, take me around and let me see the production of our factory."
"Yes, Marshal, please follow the last general to the carriage factory, where assembly line production is being carried out according to your arrangement." He Ergou said to Liu Renyu with a smug face.
"Assembling production, that feeling is good, and this can improve production efficiency." Liu Renyu said with a smile.
"Isn't it! Dashuai, before you didn't use the assembly line production process you mentioned, it took us two days to produce a horse-drawn carriage, but now it takes three hours, because the workers are on the left and right sides of the line, installing the site, installing the body, and installing the interior, all working together to save time. He Ergou obviously admires this assembly-line production model.
"That's natural, I learned it from a carriage manufacturer named Ford in Tessie, and his Ford carriage sells very well." Liu Renyu smiled, and followed He Ergou to prepare to enter the carriage factory.
This Liu Renyu walked halfway, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he took out his face armor from his waist and hung it on his face, covering his face tightly.
"Dashuai, what are you doing here?" He Ergou asked Liu Renyu puzzled.
"The workers are already busy working in the workshop, if I go in and let them see it, I don't have to pay a salute, which affects the production efficiency, so I just wear a face armor and look at it." Liu Renyu said with a smile.
"The handsome man is really thoughtful, and the general is very impressed." He Ergou said with emotion.
The two exchanged words for a while, and then walked straight into the carriage factory.
There are four production lines in this carriage factory, but only one line is now in operation, and the workers here are engrossed in the production of the carriages.
He Ergou often wandered around the factory, so the workers turned a blind eye, and as for Liu Renyu, because he was wearing a face armor, everyone didn't recognize him, so he didn't stop the work at hand and kept concentrating on his work.
I saw that at the source of this production line, there were nearly ten workers who installed the chassis and wheels, and then more than a dozen workers who installed the car shell, and finally the workers who painted the carriage.
One-stop standardized production process, saving time, improving work efficiency and liberating productivity.
Liu Renyu looked at it and nodded.
"Let's go, Ergou, and take me to the other factories to have a look." After Liu Renyu finished reading the carriage factory, he felt that it was not bad, so he took He Ergou to heat it up. The Armory Factory and the Cold Weapons Factory went to see it.
The Cold Weapon Manufacturing Institute has been busy a lot lately, because the armor needed by six thousand recruits alone is not a small number, so they have been working overtime these days, making armor, as well as Yanling knives, and various blunt weapons.
Comparatively speaking, hot. The craftsmen of the armory factory had a lighter workload, and they only had to make arquebuses. The method of making this arquebus is still the same method of hydraulic drilling to make the chamber.
After visiting these places, Liu Renyu went to see the steel manufacturing institute again, where there is a blast furnace that can be tempered to the best steel, of course, this so-called good is only for the current era.
Then he went to see the glass craft factory and the carpentry factory, and in general, the craftsmen, technicians and workers were very enthusiastic about production, and there were many production lines, but there were not enough workers.
"It seems that our workers, craftsmen and technicians are very motivated!" After Liu Renyu looked at the various manufacturing institutes, he sighed to He Ergou.
"Dashuai, I only earn ten taels of silver a month on weekdays, and I work overtime during the Chinese New Year, one or two pieces of silver a day, and ten days of overtime is worth a month, who is not happy!" He Ergou said happily.
"Ergou is right, for the current people, money is the most important, so it is normal for them to make money, let's go to the last stop, our agricultural research institute to see." Liu Renyu pointed to the rows of greenhouses made entirely of glass, and then walked over.
The two generals walked into a glass greenhouse at random, and immediately felt a heat wave, the temperature in the glass greenhouse was much higher than outside, which made Liu Renyu have an urge to take off his clothes.
"Ergou, all the tomatoes are grown in this glass greenhouse, and can there be cucumbers in other greenhouses?" Liu Renyu picked a tomato that had turned red, and when he bit into it, it was sweet and sour, and the taste was not bad.
"Back to the handsome, we also have cucumbers, the cucumbers are selling very well, this tomato is new, everyone still doesn't know its mystery, so it's not selling very well for the time being, but now your second lady is vigorously promoting tomato scrambled eggs and sugar-mixed tomatoes in their Du family's Sihai Restaurant, these two dishes, people who have eaten it say it's good, so the market has gradually opened, and it is expected that next year, tomatoes will be as easy to sell as cucumbers." He Ergou said with confidence.
"That's very good, speaking of which, your father-in-law is busy presiding over the project, and you, the acting factory director, are doing a good job. Ergou, you also know, this Liujiabao will be the core of our old brothers in the future, no matter what, I must have my trusted right-hand man to guard me in the future, I think you are the most suitable person, how, Ergou, are you willing to be the general of Liujiabao? When Liu Renyu said this, he suddenly stopped talking and asked He Ergou.
"Marshal, if the last general does not go out with the army, I don't know if he has the credit, will he be counted as the last general?" He Ergou wanted to know the answer to this question.
"You can rest assured that you have won the merits of the enemy, and this town will give you a credit no matter what, and your status will definitely be on par with Jiye and them." Liu Renyu said with a smile.
"Since this is the case, then the general is willing to be the military attache of Liujiabao." When He Ergou heard this, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he accepted Liu Renyu's arrangement very happily.
"Well, that's my good brother. Where is your father-in-law, I will go to him and ask about the situation. After Liu Renyu inspected the industrial manufacturing plant, he then asked Father Zhao how the progress of the Liujiapu project was.
"Dad supervised the construction of a construction site in a mixed commercial and residential area." He Ergou replied.
"Got it, you get busy first, I'll go take a look." After Liu Renyu said this, he walked out of the industrial manufacturing plant with a group of guards and went to the mixed commercial and residential area.
