Zhu Cijiong, accompanied by Bi Maokang and others, took three hours to take a closer look at the entire production process of the super battleship.

Zhu Cijiong naturally couldn't eat in the shipyard, the emperor's diet was too exquisite, there were no 100 people, he couldn't serve at all, and he only brought more than ten people in total, and the imperial chef didn't bring anything, which completely failed to meet the regulatory requirements, so although the shipyard executives prepared a sumptuous dinner and eagerly retained, Zhu Cijiong still signaled Bi Maokang to push.

When the group rushed back to the Daming, a sumptuous imperial banquet had already been prepared on the ship, and Zhu Cijiong gave a few cronies to finish dinner together, and then hurried to the conference room with Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Sun Yuanhua, and Cao Huachun, ready to have a meeting.

The combination of these four people seems a little strange, a Ministry of Works, a Ministry of War, and a Ministry of Works, Zuo Shilang and a Dongchang Admiral, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit strange, and the layout of the conference room is even stranger, each of these four people has a bright light in front of them, and there are four treasures of the study, and even the ink is polished!

Zhu Cijiong did not explain the intention of doing this, and after beckoning everyone to sit down, he called and said: "Gonggong Cao, you are responsible for recording, and every word I say must be written down for future reference." “

Cao Huachun hurriedly picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and said respectfully: "Weichen obeys the order." “

Zhu Cijiong glanced around, and immediately said solemnly: "Meng Hou, I want to increase the output of super battleships in Dongda Construction Shipyard to two hundred within a year. “

When Bi Maokang heard this, he didn't squirt out all the dinner he had just eaten, how could this be possible, he couldn't care so much, and said directly: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for his courage, this super battleship has a complex structure, and unskilled craftsmen cannot participate in production, and now that the skilled craftsmen in the craftsman household have almost all been recruited, it is unlikely that the output will be doubled within a year!" “

Zhu Cijiong didn't get angry, but nodded and said, "Well, there is a shortage of personnel, this question is good, I will teach you how to double the number of personnel." “

When Bi Maokang heard this, he involuntarily grabbed the brush and listened quietly, the emperor never brags, he said that there is a way, then there is definitely a way.

Sure enough, Zhu Cijiong then explained: "I took a closer look at the production process of the super battleship today, there are many places where non-skilled craftsmen are not good, but there are also some places that do not need skilled craftsmen, such as the turnover of materials, taking a car of wood as an example, after the wood processing is completed, the skilled craftsmen who process the wood are personally sent to the steward to count the storage, how much time is wasted in this handling process and the process of point storage, is the time of this skilled craftsman wasted?" When it came to the production and assembly, it was the skilled craftsman who personally went to order and pick up the materials, and he couldn't do anything during this time, how much time did he waste? There are also fixed keels, the wood is generally very large and heavy, and those skilled craftsmen climb up and down together, lift one and fix the other, so how much time is wasted? These manual tasks such as the transportation process do not require skilled craftsmen at all, and if you recruit some apprentices to carry them, you should be able to start immediately, so that the number of personnel can be doubled quickly. “

Bi Maokang remembered that something was wrong, he couldn't help but put down his pen and said carefully: "Your Majesty, this material is not so easy to identify, there are thousands of kinds of wood alone, just recruit an apprentice, he doesn't know what materials to carry!" “

Zhu Cijiong continued to nod and said, "This question is also good, I will teach you how to let an apprentice who doesn't know anything find the materials he needs accurately." “

Bi Maokang picked up the pen suspiciously, with a confused look on his face, this seems a little impossible!

Zhu Cijiong took the pen and paper directly from Sun Yuanhua next to him, drew a contour of the super battleship with a few brushes, and then marked one, two, three, four and other numbers on each part, Bi Maokang looked at the outline of the battleship blankly, not knowing what the emperor meant.

This is actually a very common thing in the factories of later generations, to put it bluntly, it is the material number, and almost everything produced in later generations has a material number, and this number plays a big role.

Zhu Cijiong pushed the outline diagram to Bi Maokang and explained in detail: "There are a lot of materials for a battleship, but it will not add up to 10,000 kinds, we can number all the materials, less than 10,000 kinds, then use four digits, 9,999 kinds of ones are enough to use four digits, such as this one-story deck, the first number is one, and then subdivided, for example, the material of the first-floor deck cabin is one one, the material of the gun door is one or two, etc., and then to the third place, such as the material of the cabin floor is one by one, The material of the cabin wall is one one two and so on, and then to the fourth place, for example, the number of the first piece of the cabin floor on the first floor is one one one one, and the number of the second piece is one one one two, these numbers can be directly sent to send someone to smash the dent in a unified position with steel words when the material is put into storage, and then smeared with various colors of paint, such as red at the beginning, green at the beginning of the second, red together, green together, such a person who receives the material as long as he looks at the color to know where to pick up the material, Just look at the number again to know what to receive. “

After Bi Maokang finished recording the brush, he immediately arched his hand and said: "The emperor is really wise, Weichen is really open, and he is open!" “

Unexpectedly, Zhu Cijiong shook his head and said: "Meng Hou, you haven't opened enough, this number doesn't just have such a role." “

Bi Maokang immediately picked up the pen and begged: "Please teach the emperor." “

Zhu Cijiong patiently explained: "This numbering is a big project, first of all, you have to organize relevant personnel to compile a complete "Battleship Material Numbering Encyclopedia", which indicates in detail the name, use, size, quantity and other information of the material. “

This is indeed a big project, there are thousands of materials for a battleship, and there are at least a dozen copies of this "Battleship Material Numbering Encyclopedia".

Zhu Cijiong continued: "After the compilation of this "Battleship Material Numbering Encyclopedia", it is necessary to re-divide the warehouses according to the number, and each warehouse is a class of numbered materials, rather than dividing the warehouse according to what kind of material and sheet material, so that the craftsmen responsible for the production of each part can collect all the materials as long as they go to one warehouse, which saves more time. “

Bi Maokang nodded while remembering, the admiration in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and even Wang Zheng and Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but record it, although this material number was a ubiquitous thing in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was really a management experience that was ahead of time I don't know how many years, if it could be promoted, the production efficiency of all walks of life in the entire Ming Dynasty would increase significantly!
