"That?" Chen Fei turned his head and saw the courtyard surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside the soldiers, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is that?" Detention of felons? Do we still have this kind of business? ”

Li Zhuo smiled, winked at Chen Fei, and said in a strange tone: "That, it's not used to imprison felons, but the people who go in are similar to felons, basically don't think about it for the rest of your life." ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, pointed to the courtyard and said, "That can't be the courtyard that makes thunderbolts, right?" ”

Li Zhuo didn't speak, but the mocking look in his eyes said it all.

"Goo!" Chen Fei showed an ugly smile, pointed in the direction of his house, and said with a smile: "What, there is chicken soup stewed on the stove at my house, I have to go back and drink the chicken soup, I can't waste it." As he spoke, he was about to run away with oil on the soles of his feet.

"Chen Fei..."Li Zhuo stopped Chen Fei, pointed to the tightly guarded courtyard, and said slowly: "It is very difficult for other people in that courtyard to enter and come out, but except for you, Your Majesty has an order, you can enter and exit freely without hindrance, but when you enter and exit, you still have to check if there are any things that you should not bring, and there are no restrictions on others." ”

"Really?" Chen Fei breathed a sigh of relief, he was always afraid that he would be caught and locked up, and then he would make thunderbolts day and night, and there would be no freedom at all.

"Of course it's true, Your Majesty is so optimistic about you, how can he keep you locked up in this small place for the rest of your life. But I also have to warn you that if you make any big mistakes in the future, maybe Your Majesty will really lock you up here. ”

"Nima!" Chen Fei's cold sweat came down in an instant, thinking about what Li Zhuo said was quite reasonable, if he made any mistakes, it was really possible to be locked up here, not seeing outside all day long, facing the small courtyard, living a repetitive life every day, squeezing the residual heat of his life.

It's scary to think about these days!

"I must not make a mistake!" Chen Fei secretly made up his mind.

Li Zhuo saw that Chen Fei was almost thinking, so he took him to the outside of the courtyard and introduced Chen Fei to the sergeant guarding it. The sergeants checked Chen Fei's token and the paperwork, and after searching his body, he took Chen Fei into the courtyard.

Li Zhuo stayed outside, and he didn't have the permission to enter this courtyard!

After walking into the courtyard, Chen Fei looked at it a little, the yard was quite large, there were about two basketball courts in the open space alone, and there were low row houses on three sides of the yard, and there were three rows of houses on each side, each row separated by a large spacing.

There were about fifty craftsmen sitting or standing chatting in the courtyard, and after seeing Chen Fei come in, everyone fell silent, staring at Chen Fei, with doubts and fears.

"Wang Sanshi? Where is Wang Sanshi? The sergeant who followed Chen Fei in shouted at the people inside.

A thin middle-aged man trotted out and came to stand respectfully in front of the two. "My lord, the villain is here, please instruct."

The sergeant pointed at Chen Fei and said, "This is the newly appointed young supervisor of the Qi Workshop, he is in charge of configuring the thunderbolt fire, he is your top boss, and you will all listen to him in the future." ”

After that, the sergeant introduced to Chen Fei again: "My lord, his name is Wang Sanshi, and he is the person in charge of this batch of craftsmen, and he will be responsible for managing the craftsmen when you are away." ”

Wang Sanshi immediately showed a flattering smile at Chen Fei, and then shouted at the craftsman behind him, "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and meet the adults! ”

The craftsmen in the back looked left and right, and finally stepped forward sparsely, standing behind Wang Sanshi scatteredly, and saw Chen Fei shouting weakly: "I've seen adults." ”

Chen Fei immediately frowned, these people... It's too unenergetic! It's like the walking dead without thoughts, and it doesn't seem to take him seriously as an adult.

When the sergeant finished the introduction, he left on his own. Chen Fei dispersed the crowd and asked Wang Sanshi to lead the way and introduce him to the situation in the workshop.

Wang Sanshi is quite knowledgeable, respectful in front of Chen Fei, answering all questions, even if there is no problem, he will take the trouble to introduce you to you, which won a lot of favor from Chen Fei.

Chen Fei learned from Wang Sanshi that there were a total of fifty-seven craftsmen here, and twenty of them had made thunderbolts on the battlefield of Songzhou, including Wang Sanshi.

"No wonder you look a little familiar, it turns out that we have seen it on the battlefield in Songzhou, and I taught you to do these things."

Wang Sanshi smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes!" Adult genius, to be able to create such a divine thing is really my blessing of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Wang Sanshi's sycophant obviously lined up in Chen Fei's heart, and the four words "the blessing of the Tang Dynasty" made him feel very useful.

"Except for the twenty of you, the others are craftsmen recruited by His Majesty from other places, right? Strange, why are these people all lifeless? Haven't you had enough to eat? ”

Wang Sanshi's smile froze, lowered his head, and finally sighed heavily. "Adults don't know, we have entered this courtyard, but we will never have a chance to go out again, everyone will inevitably have a little conclusion in their hearts, and it is normal for morale to be low."

"I see, by the way, Lao Wang, how is Your Majesty treating you? Tell me about it. ”

Wang Sanshi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let the adults laugh, we are all some bitter haha, leave a twenty acres of land for our son, and one hundred taels of silver is already very satisfied, how dare you ask for anything else." ”

Chen Fei frowned, twenty acres of land plus one hundred taels of silver would change the lives of these people? Maybe in their own eyes this is a very good deal, but in Chen Fei's opinion, it is inevitably too inhumane, and it is no wonder that these people are so listless.

Because in their own eyes, they are a commodity, the deal has been reached, and it is a lifetime to live here, and it is also a lifetime to work hard, so why not choose an easier way to make a living?

Chen Fei had a rough idea of the mental state of the craftsman, and then he asked Wang Sanshi some questions about the management system.

The biggest in this courtyard is Chen Fei, there is no doubt about it, Wang Sanshi is in charge when Chen Fei is not there, and there are no management personnel below.

Chen Fei proposed that every eleven people should be set up as a group, and each group should select a team leader to be responsible for managing the personnel of the group, and be responsible for Chen Fei and Wang Sanshi, so that the management would be more detailed.

Then divide the public health of the yard into areas, hand over to each group to be responsible, check every day, and those who fail to pass the hygiene will be included in the evaluation...

"Slow... Slowly. Wang Sanshi was puzzled: "My lord, what is the evaluation?" ”

Chen Fei smiled slightly, slightly explained the meaning of the evaluation, and then made a new regulation.

From now on, the manufacture of thunderbolts and other miscellaneous matters will be included in the evaluation system, and the two modules of individual evaluation and group evaluation will be settled once a month.

If you get the top three in the individual assessment module, you can not only start a small stove in terms of food, but also earn a bonus, which will be distributed directly to their families.

The first in the group evaluation will give the whole group a celebration banquet, and everyone in the group can get a bonus, which will be sent directly to their families.

Chen Fei paid for the money out of his own pocket. On the contrary, if you are the last person in the individual evaluation or the whole group, you will be punished, and the punishment is to run ten laps around the yard. If you are the last for three consecutive months, you should consider reducing your family's monthly payment. (The imperial court would pay these people's wages to their families every month)

This is a very common management model in later generations, Chen Fei copied and used it here, firstly, in order to improve the enthusiasm of workers, and secondly, he did not want to face dead faces all day long!
