148 Unexpected
The barrel workshop with a total number of 150 people, and there were only twenty real gunsmiths. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The twenty men were all journeymen from the Springfield Arsenal, and they were now receiving forty dollars a month as a senior mechanic, which was about the same salary as the senior workers in the Springfield Arsenal.
Of course, if you add the bonus of apprentices, the wages of these workers will immediately increase to a notch, even if they bring out an average of one apprentice per month, their monthly salary can reach 140 US dollars, which is definitely a high salary in the United States at this time, enough to provide a family to live a fairly wealthy life.
Each workshop has a management loss team, they are responsible for checking the pass rate of finished products, as well as the consumption of raw materials, if there are unqualified parts from the production workshop to the final assembly workshop, then this responsibility should be counted on the head of the management loss team.
The consumption of raw materials is the qualified rate of parts, after soliciting the opinions of Zhang Leye and some old workers, Li Mu set the red line of the qualified rate of parts at 70%, that is to say, if ten raw materials are used to make seven qualified parts, then it is qualified, below this standard to be punished, higher than this standard will be rewarded, which will maximize the sense of responsibility of workers, improve the pass rate of parts, reduce the waste of raw materials, and then improve efficiency.
Of course, Li Mu has not forgotten the piecework system and the ten-hour work system, speaking of this ten-hour work system, which is related to the weather at this time, it is now the middle of winter, it is the shortest time of the year, the light is not sufficient, even during the day, in the room to light the gas lamp to supplement the lighting, Li Mu does not want to use the twelve-hour work system like the Chuntian factory, which is too labor-intensive for the workers, and can not guarantee the labor efficiency, and may lead to operational accidents, so ten hours is relatively reasonable, When the number of workers is large enough, Li Mu will implement two shifts, then three shifts of eight hours.
Li Mu didn't understand technology, so Li Mu only formulated the rules, and then handed over the rules to Zhang Leye and Cao Anran to enforce.
Out of the workshop, Li Mu had to go to the canteen and toilet to take a turn.
The canteen is a public canteen, and there is no Chinese and Western food Han Hui nationality, providing three working meals a day, the standard working meal is meat and vegetarian, meat dishes include pork, beef and fish, as long as it is a worker in the factory, you can come to eat when it arrives, and the amount is not limited.
The employees in the canteen are all family members of the workers, who work in the canteen and receive an apprentice's salary of $12 a month, not including the master, who is paid $30 a month, according to the salary of management and technicians.
Twelve dollars may sound like a small amount, but it's already a good idea, and in the United States at this time, very few companies would hire women, and even the nurses in hospitals were men.
Toilets are part of public health, and they are widely available in the factories of the Horse Arms Company, and if they are caught defecating in the open by the factory's security personnel, they will be subject to compulsory labor in addition to their salaries.
The last place Li Mu went to was the school, which is also the place that Li Mu is most concerned about at present.
The $3,000 given to the Connecticut Department of Education was very useful, and not long after Oliveira returned to Connecticut, he found four teachers for Li Mu, a music teacher, an art teacher, and two math teachers, plus the two English teachers hired by Li Mu from Springfield, and the general framework of the school was already in place.
Li Mu originally planned to place the school in the living quarters of the factory, so Li Mu built five classrooms to cope with the five different grades in the primary school stage.
Facts have proved that the traversers also made mistakes, and in the matter of the school, Li Mu made mistakes.
In fact, even if Li Mu is not an orphan, the concept of an only child has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Li Mu did not prepare too many classrooms, in Li Mu's opinion, more than 100 workers, at most 200 school-age children, five classrooms are enough.
When he arrived at the school, Li Mu didn't know that let alone five rooms, even if he came to five more, it would not be enough. At present, there are more than 400 workers in the factory, and the number of school-age schoolchildren has frightened Li Mu, there are more than 800 people, and this is still based on the premise that less than 200 workers have started a family.
When Li Mu had not yet returned to the factory, Zhang Leye had already squeezed out two more sets of housing from the already tight housing to accommodate these "unexpected" students as classrooms, even though they were still crowded, with an average of more than 100 people per classroom, much more than Li Mu had originally expected.
"Expand! Expand immediately - according to the standard of 1,000 students - no, 2,000, first according to the standard of 2,000 students, and then continue to expand if necessary in the future, isn't there still workers who have not been arranged into the workshop? Transfer all of them here to build houses, each class can only have a maximum of fifty students, the funds are withdrawn from the finance department, and if the teachers are insufficient, send a telegram to Oliveira - "Li Mu is determined, no matter what, he must set up the school first, even if the development of the factory is delayed because of this, he will not hesitate, compared to Li Mu's personal assets, the children's education must not be delayed.
"Okay, no problem-" Zhang Leye agreed very happily.
Both of Zhang Leye's children are educated in school, so Zhang Leye is happy to see Li Mu lean resources towards the school. This is also the biggest gimmick of the Junma Arms Company's recruitment of workers, the workers work in the Junma Weapons Company, and the children can receive education in the school-affiliated to the factory, and on this basis, Zhang Leye has brought several skilled workers with reliable skills from the Chuntian Arsenal and the Zaihan Factory.
Speaking of which, the Chinese have never been concerned about the cost of the education of the next generation, thanks to the imperial examination system that has been circulated for more than a thousand years, almost all Chinese understand the truth that "the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu", even if the family is poor, as long as there is a chance, they must send their children to private schools to recognize a few words, in such an environment, this gimmick of the horse arms company is really powerful, when Cole was recruiting workers in California, It was even advertised as the biggest benefit of the Horse Arms Company.
It is indeed very effective, in fact, the Chinese are very nostalgic, settle down in a place, and easily do not make changes, although the train ticket from the east coast to the west coast is borne by the horse arms company, but without the temptation to provide education for the next generation, many people are still difficult to make up their minds.
