The grinding meeting was finally over, and Gongsun Kang decided to enjoy a slow life.

His enjoyment is patrolling, in fact, it is also work.

He took the newly selected twenty young assistant secretaries to visit the various workshops of the Gongsun family.

The accompanying personnel were Zhang Yong, Zhang Huaiyuan, Cao Huachun, and Li Shanchang.

They are now visiting a glass production workshop. The products have developed from a single glass and glass ball to a glass mirror and telescope, reading glasses and kaleidoscope coated with mercury.

Gongsun Kang has set up the Internal Affairs Office, and the head of the Internal Affairs Office is Zhang Yong. Specializing in the operation of the workshop of the royal family's grandson. The income from goods such as the family workshop of the royal family was separated from the income of the imperial court.

And 5% of the annual national taxes and other fiscal revenues of the imperial court will be used by the royal family.

In recent years, Liaodong exchanged the products of the Gongsun family's workshop for grain from the Central Plains, feeding two million people in Liaodong. This kind of thing can only be regarded as an emergency measure, and cannot become a routine!

In the future, the income of the workshop should also be taxed if it should be paid poll tax and income tax. But all income cannot be allocated to the state. This is the small treasury left by Gongsun Kang to future generations.

This is to ensure that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor wore coarse cloth and ate bran vegetables; The high-ranking officials and businessmen are full of fat and wearing silk and satin will not happen again. As a royal family, without money in hand, it was too difficult to live that day.

Standardized management is not only an ordnance workshop, but also a home workshop. Gongsun Kang plans to upgrade the workshop into a factory.

Assembly line operation, standardized management, the establishment of quality inspectors, the establishment of a retrospective accountability system.

The name of the object is extorted, in order to test its sincerity, the work is improper, in order to commit its crimes, in order to investigate its situation.

Civilian products are fines, expulsions. (If you need to keep the process secret, you will be sent to jail and mining).

Military products are fines, sent to mining, the whole family is wiped into slavery, and even killed, the whole family is killed!

Ordnance workshops are now manufacturing standard weapons, and all parts of the same weapon must be standardized and interchangeable, so that distribution, maintenance, supply and other matters can be simple and convenient.

The weapons used during the Qin Dynasty were basically standard weapons, all of which were manufactured in accordance with standardization, and the error between the same kind of weapons was very small.

The old Qin people were indeed meticulous, and the Qin Straight Road they built, at the end of the Han Dynasty 400 years later, could attack the Xiongnu unimpeded.

Gongsun Kang is now a strict requirement: each manufacturing link of each weapon is a controllable node on the assembly line, and there must be standard control and quality inspector inspection. Each weapon can be traced back to the craftsman responsible for each link, if the soldier is innocently sacrificed because of the negligence of the craftsman, the craftsman must be held responsible, and the most serious punishment is to kill the head, the whole family to kill the head!

Gongsun Kang explained project management to the secretaries on the spot: division of responsibilities matrix, work content decomposition table, organizational structure, plan management, information management, Gantt chart, Gantt chart.

According to the division of labor, a group of craftsmen only need to be responsible for the same process, and practice makes perfect. A product has several processes, which can be divided into several different assembly line operation craftsmen.

The military workshop will not take them to visit for the time being, mainly for the sake of secrecy. However, Li Shanchang and Zhang Huaiyuan are also actively absorbing the essence of assembly line operations, and they will arrange and improve assembly line operations and standardize management.

Gongsun Kang picked up a stained glass ball, laughed, and asked Zhang Yongdao: "Jingyun, can this glass bead still be sold for 10 gold now?" ”

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly and replied: "Rare things are expensive, and when glass beads were just put into the market, they were once fried to 50 gold per bead. But we have been producing continuously in Liaodong for several years, and now the price has fallen to one gold per pearl. ”

"That's not bad" Gongsun Kang was full of interest: "This thing, the production cost is almost zero, it is good to be able to cheat some money." ”

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly again, in front of so many newcomers, is the lord so frank and so good?

He didn't know that Gongsun Kang said this on purpose, this was also a test for the secretaries, after all, compared to military affairs, these are small things. If the cost of production and craftsmanship spread, then these secretaries should be abolished.

"It's not too much money, Jingyun will introduce us to new products." Gongsun Kang looked at the busy workshop with a smile.

Zhang Yong took out a mirror, a palm-sized mirror, which was square. There are frames, as well as a copper wire base for support.

"Round is not very easy to do," Zhang Yong explained, "It is easier to make a square. ”

Gongsun Kang took the mirror and looked at his handsome and mature face inside. Very sassy and brushed his hair back with his left hand: "Still so handsome!" ”

Everyone wants to laugh but doesn't dare to laugh, cough cough, the lord also has a time when he is informal.

Zhang Yong continued: "This kind of square mirror can be sold for 20 gold per side, and it is still very popular. But we strictly control the shipment, we can ship 200 mirrors per month and sell them nationwide. ”

"More of them," Gongsun Kang instructed: "All luxury goods should be more." It is mainly sold to the territories of various princes in the Central Plains. Squeeze them dry! Ha ha! ”

Gongsun Kang is now a little bit of Mount Tai and small in the world, and he feels free.

At this moment, it's like someone in later generations said: You can open a stock market to experiment, and if it doesn't work, it will be closed.

At this moment, they all feel the same way: the big things in the eyes of others are small things for them.

After looking at the glass mirror, Zhang Yong handed over another reading glass. He said: "This thing is worth 100 gold, and it can make people see clearly. ”

Gongsun Kang knew what this was, and handed it to Li Shanchang directly: "It's better for the elderly to use this thing." ”

Li Shanchang took the glasses, looked at them and looked dizzy! Hurriedly took it off. said: "Lord, the minister is only in his 30s, and he is in the prime of life, and he can't afford this thing." ”

"Haha!" Gongsun Kang laughed happily: "I am in the prime of life in Liaodong, and this thing is not easy to sell." Let's sell it to the princes of the Central Plains. Just do good! ”

Next, everyone looked at the telescope again, and now, the telescope has evolved from monocular to binocular. The shell has also been changed from a bamboo tube to a lightweight alloy.

"This thing still has to limit the production, and it can be used by officers above the centurion." Gongsun Kang instructed.

"No!" Zhang Yonggong replied respectfully. The lord can be casual, but the subordinates can't be casual, this is the duty of being a minister.

The last thing that came out was a kaleidoscope.

An alloy cylinder with a lens on the outside and a colorful piece of paper on the inside. Flip your hand, and when you look at it again, the scenery inside has changed again.

This is something from Gongsun Kang's memory. Very simple stuff. If you use wood or cardboard to make the tube, the cost is lower. But you have to make it a luxury and sell it to the children of rich families to play with, so that you can make more money.

Gongsun Kang's idea was to develop these luxury ornaments and sell them to the territories of various princes, defraud them of their money, and deplete their economic strength.
