"Oh?!" Li Yu's eyes brightened, raised his head again, and asked, "But what is the law?" ”

"Standardized assembly line production." Wei Renshi said.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, but did not understand.

"What?" Li Yu repeated: "Standard...... Chemical assembly line production ...... What is it? ”

"It's a way of manufacturing." Wei Renshi replied, "Actually, it's easy to understand, Your Highness. He also asked His Royal Highness to call a palace lady in and allow Weichen to ask a few questions. ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, looked outside, nodded, and shouted, "Someone is coming." ”

Immediately outside pushed the door open and a guard entered.

Li Yu asked the guard to call a palace lady over. Soon, she appeared inside the house and bowed.

"Wei Xiannan wants to ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them carefully." Li Yu commanded.

That Gong'e hurriedly saluted and said yes.

Wei Renshi saluted Li Yu, then got up and asked the palace lady: "This maid has been in the palace for a long time, do you know who makes the clothes in this palace?" ”

"Back to Lord Wei's words, the clothes in the palace are all made by the palace maid in the dressing room." That Gong'e bowed down and bowed to Wei Ren and replied.

Wei Renshi nodded, and asked again: "Then let me ask this maid again, how many days does it take for this palace maid tailor to make a piece of clothing?" ”

"This ...... It depends on what kind of clothes are used. If it is the clothes worn by ordinary palace attendants, cut and sewn, I am afraid that it will take three or four days for a piece of clothing. That Gong'e still bowed and replied.

"Then I asked again, if you teach that palace maid to make only one sleeve, how long will it take?" Wei Renshi asked again.

"I only make sleeves...... It's going to be a lot faster, just a few scissors! The palace replied, "Presumably half an hour is enough!" ”

Wei Renshi nodded: "What if you make skirts?" ”

That Gong'e looked at Wei Renshi suspiciously: "It's just a few scissors, no more than an hour." If you are skilled, you can do it in half an hour. ”

"Yes, if it's sleeves and skirts...... And so on, the items needed on the clothes are ready-made, and they only need to be sewn together to become a piece of clothing, and how much time does it take? ”

Na Gong'e thought for a while and replied: "If the ready-made ones are only sewn together, it will be fast, and it will not take more than half an hour." ”

"Your Highness, the minister's question is finished." Wei Renshi said to Li Yu.

Li Yu naturally didn't want the conversation between the two to be listened to by others, so he waved his hand and said, "You go down." ”

That Gong'e hurriedly saluted and withdrew.

After that palace lady went out and closed the door again, Wei Renshi smiled, turned to Li Yu and said, "Yes, Your Highness, this is the assembly line production that Wei Chen said." It takes three or four days for a tailor to make a garment. It only takes a few hours to make a sleeve and a skirt. In this way, if I get a few more tailors, one who specializes in sleeves, I can make sleeves for several days in a day; One specializes in only making skirts, and can make many skirts in a day; One specializes in only shoulder stalks, and I don't know how many shoulder slabs I make in a day...... The last one just sews together the things that have been done in front of me, and I don't know how many pieces I can sew up in a day...... So, how many pieces of clothing can be made in those three or four days? Moreover, if it is made according to this method, the sleeves will only be made into the sleeves, the skirts will only be made into skirts, and the sewn will only know how to sew them together, but not the parts. In this way, even if any one of the tailors is caught, he will not be able to make a complete piece of clothing, and even the secrecy will be greatly improved. ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly stroked his beard and smiled: "Not bad! But! And so it was! Take the bow and arrow as an example, it takes an hour for a person to make a bow and arrow, but if you only make arrows, it is only a few teas, and the tail feathers are only a few teas. If three men were to make one bow each, it would be only three bows and arrows in an hour. But the three of them do it in a division of labor, and a few cups of tea can make several strokes! Good! That's a great way! Not only in the army, but also in other things, you can do the same! In this way, the efficiency of production will be greatly improved! All right! Good! Wei County's male method, in Lone's opinion, is comparable to the two strategies of governing Tian and the method of movable type! ”

"That's right, His Royal Highness's ability to draw inferences from one another, Weichen admires!" Wei Renshi gave a horse in a small way.

Li Yu laughed, laughed and laughed, but suddenly stopped again, raised his head suddenly, and said, "No! …… Wei Xiannan, there is still a problem here! ”

Li Yuzheng was excited, the benefits of the assembly line production method were obvious, but suddenly his face changed, and he said to Wei Renshi: "No, Wei Xiannan, there is a problem here." The tailor is not the same person, and the sleeves, skirts, and gowns are made...... And how can you ensure that they can be sewn together and fit perfectly? Naturally, there are differences between the things made by different people. If the sleeves are long, the skirt is thin, and the caftan is fat, how can they be sewn together for people to wear? Let's just say that the thickness of the bow and arrow is also different, not to mention that it was made by different people, that is, it was made by the same person, and the thickness and length will not be exactly the same. In this way, wouldn't the parts be made for nothing, but they couldn't be put together?! ”

Wei Ren smiled in his heart, and secretly said that this Li Yu is not stupid, and after listening to the method of assembly line production, he almost immediately thought of the problem.

So he smiled and said to him again: "Your Highness, Weichen has naturally taken this issue into account. Therefore, Your Highness, you listen carefully to what the minister said, and before the assembly line production method, the word standardization is the solution to this problem. ”

"Standardization?" Li Yu's eyes froze, and he asked, "What is standardization?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the so-called standardization means that production is carried out according to certain standards. Taking making clothes as an example, assembly line production will produce the problems mentioned by His Royal Highness, and the size and length of things made by different people are different, and they cannot be ready-to-wear. But if we set a standard in advance, how long the sleeves must be, how wide the skirt must be, and how long the caftan must be...... These are given a fixed value. If the value is predetermined, then no matter which tailor does the part, just make it strictly according to this value, then there will be no difference in size and length. ”

Listening to Wei Renshi's words, Li Yu thought for a moment, and then said, "Then in this way, isn't every piece of clothing the same size?" ”
