Chapter 183: Simple

When Ye Tao took out the carving knife from the work bib, put it in the oil bucket used for tool maintenance, threw the work bib on the toolbox, took off the thick coarse cloth overalls that had been soaked in sweat, and went naked like many craftsmen in Ye's workshop at this time when they couldn't stand the heat, and then casually took a large jar of tea that Sophie had prepared and poured it down...... After a moment of silence, the shouts of joy and shouts almost overturned the factories on both sides of the open space where the assessment was taking place.

"See? Have you practiced the basics? Technician ...... It's good that you've passed the first level of engineering. "Everywhere, the master is carrying the ears of the apprentices he has brought with him. Many craftsmen are contemplating, introspecting, and sighing......

"Technician level assessment passed...... You're okay with that. Ye Laogeng squeezed in from outside the crowd, glanced at the sculpture that Ye Tao had just completed, and said, "Okay, okay, the technician qualification assessment has passed, everyone has no opinion." ”

Everyone laughed, and all kinds of statements burst out in an instant. Opinion? If that doesn't work, hell is it.

"Okay, Dazhu and I signed and sealed, and then sent this thing to the Ministry of Works. When the reply letter comes, the certificate will be issued. "Ye Laogeng is very satisfied with everyone's reaction and the current atmosphere." The first batch of technicians will be issued certificates. When the time comes, I will go to Danyang and let the Ministry of Industry send it to everyone. Ye Laogeng threw out the things that had just been implemented in a timely manner. In fact, this matter is not difficult to say at all, Ye Laogeng and Ye Tao, father and son, are both hanging their positions in the Ministry of Industry, even if they are selling face, Lord Shangshu will never say a word. But for everyone, this is a very attractive one.

Ye Tao smiled and sat on the bench next to him. Tan Weixin, Dai Qiuyan, and Sophie are all there, although they haven't watched the lengthy whole process, they are also very impressed by Ye Tao's performance. I'm afraid that only Ye Tao can make the carving so performative.

"Ye Tao, you played like this. What should I do? Zhao Dazhu pretended to condemn on the side: "I still have to take the assessment today." ”

"Just kidding! You should also take out the bottom of the pressure box and light it up, right? Ye Tao smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you play with flowers." ”

"Hehe, yes, while the hand is not alive." Zhao Dazhu's face was full of confidence. It is true that he does not have Ye Tao's spatial imagination, nor does he have such a solid art foundation and carving skills, but in terms of technical solidity, he is not lost to anyone. And Ye Tao's performance just now really aroused his strong interest.

However, Zhao Dazhu's show-off skills still look so simple. Zhao Dazhu asked people to move a huge workbench. He brought his own full set of tools - this is very different from those beginner apprentices, almost all the people above the level of mechanics in Yip's workshop have strict requirements for tools, and some of their tools are even strictly forbidden to be touched. Zhao Dazhu carefully adjusted the workbench to the level to ensure the absolute stability of the workbench, and then carefully brought in the materials he used to show off his skills.

"What is this?" Looking at the unusually huge gate, about half a person tall and the width of a person's armspan, the corners of Ye Taodi's mouth twitched. Asked.

"After the finished product, it will be the gate of the Iron City Governor's Palace...... This piece is the left half. Zhao Dazhu replied calmly.

“…… Senior brother, are you supposed to be ............" Ye Tao thought of Zhao Dazhu's superb basic skills, and also thought of the content he wanted to show off.

Zhao Dazhu nodded, didn't speak, he checked the footpads under the plank. So that the planks don't move randomly. Then, very seriously, almost reverently, he took the soft cloth from the toolbox and carefully wiped his hands. After removing the sweat, he handed the soju-soaked hand towel to his apprentice and wiped his hands again. Then he took the planer out of the toolbox, and it was only the planer.

Starting from the very center of the plank, Zhao Dazhu began to push outward in a spiral circle, leaving a distance between the planer marks that were one line wider than the planer marks. The pattern is oval, and the proportions of the major and minor axes are exactly the proportions of the whole door panel. Until Zhao Dazhu pushed the planer marks all the way to near the edge of the door panel. The shavings are still intact and have not been broken......

What kind of craft is this? This is the realm of a grandmaster-level craftsman who returns to the basics. Everyone around them carefully controlled their breathing, as if they were afraid that making a slightly louder noise would disturb Zhao Dazhu. A shorter apprentice in the outer circle stood on tiptoe and whispered to the man in front of him: "Alas, please, let me go." However, the soft voice attracted angry eyes from everyone around him. But the guy was given a place where he could see what was going on.

The four corners naturally could not let the traces of the circle continue, and on the four corners, Zhao Dazhu directly planed out the grass and flower pattern. But it still didn't stop the shavings. When pushed to the outermost extension, it is approximately the position where the doorknob is installed. He swirled the planer in his hand and began to push it back in the same trajectory towards the center......

If Ye Tao just showed the gorgeous, gorgeous, and whimsical side of the craftsman's skills, fully demonstrating the top level of genius craftsmen, then now Zhao Dazhu has shown with his own actions that as long as he is willing to work hard, all craftsmen can do it, but only a few people in the world can achieve the realm: great ingenuity. If Ye Tao's performance is to amaze everyone and sigh that there are such characters in the world, then Zhao Dazhu's performance at this moment made many people lower their heads, look at their hands...... "You can do it too!" Zhao Dazhu conveyed such a message. And the shavings that are so long that people dare not imagine their length are the best proof of this.

Zhao Dazhu's performance only lasted for half an hour before it ended, and he didn't sweat like Ye Tao, who had worked for more than three hours, but there were just some drops of sweat on his forehead. wiped his hands on the bib and said to Ye Tao ostentatiously, "How is it?" Not bad, right? ”

Ye Tao laughed, gave a thumbs up, and praised loudly: "High!" It's really high! ”

The assessment on the first day ended in the wonderful performance of the two Ye Taoshi brothers, and everyone was amazed. And the assessment of the old man Ye Laogeng on the second day also attracted everyone's attention. Ye Tao and Zhao Dazhu both demonstrated extreme abilities, while Ye Laogeng demonstrated all the skills required of a traditional carpenter. It took him a whole day to build a wooden bed...... This was the exam question he used when he was a teacher. For the first time in so many years, he came up with a full set of work. sawing, drilling, planing, chiseling, carving...... A series of craftsmanship was shown in Ye Laogeng's hands, which made those craftsmen with enough eyesight fascinated and saw why this first carpenter in Diyi City could be called the first. Under the old man's hands, every technique is so solid, he rarely does useless work, rarely does superfluous movements, and the movements are full of power and rhythm. It is full of craftsmanship and beauty.

The old man's body is still so tough, and he is still in good spirits when he does a complete set of work, although his title of the first carpenter was lost early because of Ye Tao's sudden rise, but this is a greater honor for a father. Ye's performance completely calmed the scene, and it also made everyone who wanted to take the technician exam have to weigh it again. But in this way, the status of the technician qualification. Invisibly higher.

The first to let the craftsmen in their own industry come to participate in the qualification examination of Ye's workshop was the Nanyang master who rushed to dig the corner of Ye's wall and was suppressed by Ye Lao Geng. The distance between Nanyang and Yicheng is not very far, and the apprentices sent by the master family to study in the Ye family's workshop have never stopped, and when they learned about it, they immediately arranged a total of twenty-two craftsmen to participate in the training. Two of them received a diploma and 12 received a diploma...... No matter what the original intention of the master family was to arrange the assessment this time, they objectively did something very beneficial to the Ye Workshop: to make the level examination of the Ye Workshop go to a wider range.

While the assessment is constantly being carried out within the workshop, the reform of Yip's workshop is also gradually unfolding. The first is the training aspect. Yip's Workshop has set up a learning department to oversee all internal and external training, and since the external training is linked to the assessment system of Yip's Workshop, those who entrust the training can clearly see what kind of results they pay for tuition, which can be said to be a happy situation.

Then, the construction department of Dai's Construction Bank and Yip's Workshop, which had been working closely together, merged. The merger was surprisingly simple, with several paperwork sent to several construction sites in progress and a notice. It's almost done. The accounts and the income of employees at all levels are highly consistent, and if Dai Yuege spends a little time to deal with it, it will be no problem at all.

The production planning department is a bit more complicated. Since no one had the experience to manage in this way, it was finally decided that the three workshops in Yicheng, Danyang and Yunzhou would first set up their own local production planning departments. For the time being, we will not assign unified tasks, but we will communicate and coordinate with each other on research topics to avoid the problem of duplication of investment. After a period of work, such as half a year to a year. Workshop Leaders at the Three Locations. That is, a few of their brothers and Ye Laogeng, and then sorted out a set of norms that can be effective. This situation is a bit helpless. But it is also related to the underdeveloped logistics industry in this era, and many production tasks cannot be distributed on a large scale.

The reforms involving the spin-off of shares, the sale of equity and project income rights, and the changes in the way they cooperate with other institutions are coordinated by Jian Datong, Shi Wei and Liu Qing. Jian Datong was in charge of conducting research, Liu Qinglai was in charge of coordinating the mediation of merchants on the side of Nanami Trading Company, and Tan Weixin was in charge of communication between Kyushu Trading Company and related merchants in the Inner Government. The main thing to explain to those merchants is that this one-time sellout is not to dissociate the relationship and suspend the cooperation, but to provide more efficient technical services for everyone.

And by this time, it was already August. Ye Tao has left the Road and Bridge Division and has been away from Yunzhou for more than nine months. Even because he loves his daughter, because he has time for Ye Tao to deal with things, and even has time to play in Dongping's Nanyang layout, Tan Xiaopei really can't stand Ye Tao resting for so long. Naturally, it is also because the first phase of deployment on the Yunzhou side has been completed, and the old general Xu Jingtian has almost perfectly completed the reform and deployment of Yunzhou's military forces, and now it is time to enter the second stage of Yunzhou's development...... At this time, Tan Weixin, who had long been determined to sort out Yunzhou's economic affairs, should appear.

So, in early August, after Ye Tao returned from going to sea to participate in the test of the rapid-fire ballista installed on the Huya ship, the "family letter" urging Ye Tao and Tan Weixin to return to the dynasty arrived in Yicheng.
