"This ...... Can anyone really buy this thing when it's made? Master He looked at it for a long time and suddenly said: "Some of these things are simple, and some are extremely complex, such as this bamboo mat made of bamboo pieces, compared with the bamboo mat made of bamboo strips, each piece of bamboo must be the same size, and it has to be perforated on it, so it is impossible to make a bamboo mat even if it takes a year!" ”

Qin Hao also saw the strange bamboo mat for the first time, no matter how you look at it, it is a little similar to the legendary golden jade clothes, although the materials are a little different, but the processing techniques are very similar.

Carpenter Lu smiled and said: "Patriarch Qin is indeed right, the production process of this new bamboo mat is indeed somewhat similar to the golden jade clothes, just now Master He also said that if ordinary craftsmen make such a bamboo mat, it does take more than a year, and it is not possible to guarantee that the shape of each piece of bamboo is the same, but after I saw this tool diagram drawn by Zhen Lang just now, I guess Zhen Lang still has something to say?" ”

Zhen Qian couldn't help but glance at Carpenter Lu again, and now it seems that Carpenter Lu is not only skilled, but also has a vicious eye and a careful mind. On the other hand, looking at Master Yan and Master He found by Qin Hao, the difference in this level is not half a star, and the judgment is high and low.

Zhen Qian knocked lightly, drew the attention of several people to himself, and said unhurriedly: "What Master Yan said just now is right, this bamboo mat is indeed a bit similar to the golden jade cloth process, even if a skilled craftsman does not need a year, it will take more than half a year to make a bed of bamboo mats, what price can a bed of bamboo mats be sold at such a speed, and the middle mat on the market is only one or two times, even if our bamboo mats are sold for four or five times, I am afraid that we will not even be able to earn back the labor costs. So your worries are not unreasonable......."

Everyone is not a literati who can't even distinguish between wheat seedlings and leeks, and this truth is naturally like a mirror in their hearts.

Zhen Qian smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and took the two pieces of paper in Master He's hand, shook them in front of everyone's eyes and said: "There are two simple tools on this, I call them machine tools, one is a bamboo shaping machine, the other is a punching machine, the bamboo shaping machine can process bamboo into bamboo chips of similar shape, and the punching machine is to drill holes in the bamboo chips, of course, it is not enough to have these two tools, a craftsman from collecting the right bamboo, to finally processing it into a bamboo sheet mat that can be sold, There are at least seven or eight major processes required, how can a craftsman complete them all without any defects? ”

Master Yan immediately spoke: "Zhen Lang is right, I see that this bamboo mat is collected from the bamboo to the final completion, and there are no less than twenty or thirty large and small processes, and a craftsman can't complete it at all!" ”

Zhen Qian nodded approvingly, "It's not that it can't be completed, but the efficiency is too slow, I don't know if anyone has seen the process of firing porcelain in the kiln?" ”

Lu carpenter slightly realized: "I understand what Zhen Lang means, Zhen Lang wants to make the processing of bamboo mats the same as the kiln firing porcelain, everyone only does one of the processes, some people specialize in shaping bamboo pieces, some people specialize in punching bamboo pieces, and some people are responsible for threading needles and threads, so that everyone is only responsible for the simplest processes, and there is no need to make each one from scratch, this idea is so wonderful!" ”

Zhen Qian didn't expect that Carpenter Lu was still a big mouth, and he wanted to hang the appetite of a few people, but he didn't expect to be broken by Carpenter Lu's words.

Lu carpenter is right, the most complex and time-consuming process of processing and making bamboo mats is the four steps of bamboo cutting, grinding, shaping, punching and sewing into shape, as for other collection, drying, sorting, drying and other processes will not occupy much manpower, but each process time, time, quantity is not the same, the connection of each process is very important, from beginning to end need to form a close and complete process processing line, so that the production cost of bamboo mats can be reduced at the same time, but also shorten the time required, The cost is naturally reduced, and the profit in the middle can also be increased a lot! ”

After speaking, Zhen Qian glanced at a few people, and his heart sank, obviously what he said did not make a few people understand, could it be that his expression skills were poor, or was there a problem with their ability to accept?

At this moment, Carpenter Lu suddenly slapped his thigh heavily and said, "Good intentions!" It's really a whimsical idea, I'm afraid few people in the world can think of such a solution! ”

"Oh! Carpenter Lu also thinks this method is good", Master He, who is also a carpenter, raised his head and looked at Carpenter Lu.

"This method is really exquisite, just now Zhen Lang mentioned the kiln to fire porcelain, I vaguely thought of the division of labor, each performing its own way, but Zhen Lang took into account the time, quantity and processing difficulty on this method, the blue is better than the blue, this production process can be promoted to many places, even the tables, chairs and benches made by carpenters can also be used, people who can think of this method should be called a genius!" Carpenter Lu praised.

Zhen Qian was a little embarrassed by what Carpenter Lu said, this kind of assembly line production method is not what he thinks, and the large-scale production lines of later generations are all using this technology and management model, as long as he is not a fool, he also knows what is called large-scale production.

The Qin family's current situation is the most suitable for centralized production, going out to hunt needs to climb over more than a dozen mountains, collecting mountain goods also depends on the time of the season, and there is no land around that can be cultivated, the tea trees that have just been planted, it will take at least three years to form a large-scale industry, and this has not considered the Tang people's habit of drinking tea, many things have been done from the beginning, it is a series of difficulties and problems that continue to emerge, it is really as simple as Zhen Qian's mouth.

"Lu carpenter won the award, I just suddenly thought of the kiln firing porcelain process, the bamboo mat is naturally more comfortable than the ordinary mat, but the processing difficulty is also the greatest, but if the bamboo slice is turned into a bamboo strip with a half finger narrow, the difficulty of processing is also reduced a lot, and it can also give beginner craftsmen a chance to practice, so this kind of mat will become the main product ...... of the Qin family."

"For example, other tables, chairs and benches, the production materials can be bamboo, or wood in the mountains, and those ancient vines and strange woods can be used, these materials are not lacking in the Qin family, what is lacking is technology and novel ideas, so Qin Bo first gathered the clansmen, learned the craft with the two masters, and waited until the Qin family can master the skills, and then start small-scale production, the process we said before, although there is not much difference, but it will also produce such and such problems and omissions when it is really used in production, These can only be improved in processing, and it is impossible to achieve the desired results at once! ”

Qin Hao couldn't wait to start processing and making products today, but he also knew that the Qin family's foundation was too thin, and the first batch of bamboo tubes sold to Zuixianlou made the Qin family a little crazy just by polishing the burrs on the edges, not to mention those bamboo products that looked very exquisite.

"Zhen Lang is right, each process of these products requires craftsmen with different skills, if you don't train a large number of craftsmen, these products can't be talked about, fortunately, Zhen Lang has just explained that various processes can be independently decomposed without affecting each other, as long as we do it step by step from scratch, we will always straighten out this matter!"

At first, Master Yan was entangled in how long it would take for him to process such a bamboo mat by himself, but he didn't expect Zhen Qian to decompose the entire product process into a number of small items, and what he needed to do was to pass on the technology to the craftsmen of each process separately, and he was responsible for the supervision of this process.

Zhen Qian turned his head to Qin Hao and said: "Uncle Qin, in the final analysis, my idea is also a novelty, which is most suitable for mass production, and then you might as well ask people around, what style of tables, chairs and benches is the best-selling, we can use this method to occupy the surrounding market ......."

Qin Hao and the others have long been numb by Zhen Qian's endless bombardment of new terms, such as what assembly line, what mass production, etc., but fortunately, they all understand the meaning, and they can't keep up with Zhen Qian's rhythm when they listen to it.

"Alright! Listening to Zhen Lang say this, the top priority is to collect raw materials, as for the tools and machine tools that Zhen Lang said, I will bother Master He and Lu carpenters, wait a minute, I will arrange for the Qin family to obey the dispatch of a few people, I don't know if Zhen Lang can be satisfied? ”

Master He also slowly tasted the taste, to say that his craftsmanship is not bad, but unfortunately his brain is too stiff, and his ability to accept new things is not strong, and when he finally understands the joints, when he heard Qin Hao assign the task, his face was a little unbearable: "Patriarch Qin, Zhen Lang threw out so many things at once, and he couldn't arrange someone to make them immediately, isn't it a bit of a fuss?" ”

Qin Hao is actually more anxious than Master He now, but what can be done in a hurry, who makes the Qin family unable to even take out a craftsman, so he expects Zhen Qian to show the Qin family a clear way.

Zhen Qian listened to the sour taste in Master He's tone, and secretly laughed in his heart, no matter how high a person's skill is, can he let more than 100 people in the Qin family eat and wear without worrying?

"I'm afraid Master He doesn't know the current situation of the Qin family, if one or two craftsmen can solve the Qin family's current predicament, do you think Uncle Qin will be in a hurry now?"

Master He snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "How do you know that the Qin family has only one or two craftsmen ......", only halfway through the words, Master He's face changed suddenly, he subconsciously shrank his body, looked at Qin Hao nervously, and immediately stammered: "I mean, the Qin family has passed so many years, and they are still worried about the predica......ment in front of them."

"Ahem!" Qin Hao immediately interrupted Master He's words, and said with an unnatural face: "Zhen Lang, the Qin family's affairs are entrusted to you, if there is anything needed, although the Qin family does not ask for money, there are still a little people, there are many raw materials in this mountain, Zhen Lang can use it casually!" ”
