Chapter 41: Sweatshops
"Hmmm! Can't get out of the pool! Wang Rui carefully explained the modern assembly line production method and quality inspection system to Ma Ju. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Ma Ju didn't understand the new terms "process" and "system" that came out of Wang Rui's mouth, he was amazed when he walked into the workshop where he made bows and crossbows!
Wang Rui arranged the production of the longbow and the crossbow in two workshops. Each workshop has a complete manual assembly line. From the raw materials into the workshop, there are two groups of people conducting quality inspections, and each group can get a bonus of one or two silver when they find a real problem. This bonus, however, is to be deducted from the salaries of the workers who make the production and the other group of quality inspectors.
Under such a system, everyone's eyes are wide open, and the quality of each component is always observed.
One tael of silver is not a small number, enough to make the whole family snack for a few days!
The various utensils on the longbow and crossbow were broken down into different groups by Wang Rui to make them. When he first saw this situation, Ma Ju was even worried about whether he could assemble it in the end. Can each of these pieces be put together in the end?
Ma Ju has dealt with all kinds of blacksmiths and carpenters. He knew that who of these craftsmen did not have his own set of rules?
But this problem was perfectly solved by Wang Rui. On the wall of each link, a new set of rulers and scales is hung. Before and after each link, there is a man in red who Wang Rui calls a "quality inspector", holding the same tool and weighing.
If it is changed to modern times, the management of Wang Rui's weapons workshop can be said to be the most severe sweatshop.
The parts made by each person are marked by a literate teenager with an earthworm-like number, and if the quality inspection reveals a mistake or negligence, the workers who make it will be whipped and fined. The money fined will become a bonus for the inspectors.
After the quality inspector and the team leader of each link have finished checking, they can be transmitted to the next link, and the quality inspector of the next link will carry out the same quality inspection. If it is found that there is a substandard, the quality inspector of the previous link will be whipped and fined. The money from the penalty will become a bonus for another quality inspector.
Such strict monitoring, layer by layer quality inspection, to ensure that nothing goes wrong!
"Third brother! Are you Qin? Ma Ju asked. When he was a teenager, he also walked through some places with the elders of his family who were doing business, and he was well-informed, and felt that Wang Rui's set was very similar to the ancient Qin system.
Later archaeological researchers found that some characters were engraved on the weapons of the Qin State, most of which were personal names, among which the most frequent occurrence was "Xiangbang Lü Buwei". Lü's Spring and Autumn Period is the most important historical document of the Qin State, and its compiler is Lü Buwei.
Lü Buwei was the prime minister of the Qin State at that time, which is equivalent to today's prime minister. Lü's Spring and Autumn Period said: The name of the work. This means that the maker of the object has to engrave his name on the object he makes. For historians, these seemingly ordinary words reveal the management secrets of Qin's military industry.
As the prime minister of the cabinet, Lü Buwei is the supreme supervisor of weapons production. Below him is the engineer, that is, the director of each arsenal, and the director who supervises the production of this Ge is called "Qi". Below the factory director is Cheng, similar to the workshop director, and the director's name is "Yi". And the craftsman who made this Ge with his own hands is called "Cheng".
Experts deduced from this that the military management system of the Qin State was divided into four levels, from the Xiangbang, the engineer, the Cheng to the craftsmen, who were responsible at all levels, and any quality problem could be found by the name engraved on the weapon.
The numerous arsenals of the Qin State were able to produce high-quality weapons in large quantities according to unified standards, and the pyramidal four-level management system was the fundamental guarantee.
When most of the world was still surrounded by barbarism and ignorance, the pre-Qin people of our Han nation created the most powerful weapons manufacturing industry in that era with their unique way of thinking and wisdom.
When he thought of this, Wang Rui couldn't help but sigh: The descendants of the old Qin and the Huanghuang Han were bullied and slaughtered by the savages, and in another time and space, they were dwarfed into a small flower by the Western cult organization and became lowly fourth-class citizens!
Uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it! Lao Tzu wants to kill to stop killing! Lao Tzu wants to make history turn here! Wang Rui swore secretly with a fierce light in his eyes.
"Third brother! What's wrong with you? Ma Ju saw that Wang Rui was habitually in a daze again, and knew that his thoughts had drifted away from the nine heavens.
However, fortunately, Ma Ju is very tolerant and contemplative, so he doesn't have to ask for an understanding.
"Haha, I'm distracted again! It's the Qin system, it's the Qin system! Only our ancestors of the Han Dynasty can establish such an efficient craftsman system. I'm just copying it. Wang Rui hurriedly played haha.
As soon as the two walked out of the workshop, Chen Ming ran over to report: "Big brother, third brother!" The venue in the barracks is set up! In the afternoon, the celebration will be held! ”
"Have you invited all the military families?" Wang Rui asked.
"Please! I've been invited as you have told. Now they're waiting outside the barracks. Chen Ming replied.
"Good! Eldest brother! Let's all go check it out! You can't keep the folks waiting! Wang Rui happily beckoned Ma Ju to go with him.
"Hmm. Third brother, why did you invite the families of these soldiers? Will it alarm the township? "Ma Ju's personality is the most stable among the brothers, so he can always remind Wang Rui.
And this is exactly what Wang Rui needs most now. Because of Ma Ju's help and reminders anytime and anywhere, he can integrate into this era faster and better and change this era!
"Yes. There will be a sensation again! But that's exactly what I need! Wang Rui said with a smug smile.
"Lord Wang has arrived!" As soon as the guards on duty saw Wang Ruima walking up, they shouted loudly for the two adults.
The old and young people in the square outside the barracks knelt down in fear when they heard that a high-ranking official was coming.
Today, the soldiers of the Thousand Households came to the homes of the people, saying that the Thousand Households King was going to invite them to a meeting. These old military households, ordinary people, don't have much knowledge, and they haven't heard of such a thing, how can they believe that it is really the Lord of the Thousand Households who are invited.
Many people muttered in their hearts along the way, did their own sons or men commit crimes in the army?
"Folks! Hurry up, please! Hurry up, please! Wang Rui smiled and motioned for everyone to stand up.
After everyone stood up in a mess, Wang Rui said loudly again: "This time, I invite everyone to come, there is nothing else, just invite everyone to come over for a meal." At the same time, go to the barracks to have a look and find out how your sons and husbands live in the barracks of their own officials. ”
"Ahh The hearts of everyone hanging in their throats finally let go.
Wang Rui looked back at Chen Ming again, and scolded with a smile: "Fourth brother, what are you doing?" A sucker! How did you keep the folks waiting here for so long! Why don't you hurry up and bring tea and food. Chen Ming blushed and waved his hand, and more than a dozen auxiliary soldiers immediately carried out seven or eight large wooden frames and ran over.
After putting down the big wooden frame, the soldiers took out large wooden trays from the frame one by one, loaded them with all kinds of food and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Each tray contains a small bowl of pickles with meat, an egg, a flatbread, and a bowl of millet porridge.
Some people got the tray and immediately ate it in large gulps. They sandwiched a piece of meat, ate a bite of bread, and ate it with a mouthful of oil. Others are busy stuffing eggs and flatbread into their clothes so they can take home with them. The scene was a joyful chaos......
