"Master Wang, if you want to make 10,000 bows and arrows, 10,000 spears, 10,000 knives, and 10,000 riding knives, how long will it take?" After Zhao Feng finished deploying the security questions, he asked Master Wang.

"This ......" Master Wang hesitated, "It's hard to say, conservative estimates, about a year, right?" ”

"How can it take so long? What if you expand the scale of the blacksmith shop and find a large number of blacksmiths? Zhao Feng asked.

"That's about half a year." Master Wang thought for a moment and said.

"Why is that?" Zhao Feng didn't know why.

"Because the manufacturing process is too troublesome, not to mention anything else, just say that this bow and arrow, it is extremely cumbersome to manufacture, even if the materials are enough, the people are enough, the formation of a bow and arrow needs to go through more than ten processes, so that it takes five or six days to complete a bow by one person. Tens of thousands, how can it take months! Master Wang said.

"Master Wang, what do you think of this?" Zhao Feng suddenly realized that there was no concept of assembly line operation at this time, no wonder he would say that it would take half a year, "We can disassemble this manufacturing process step by step, and one or several people are responsible for a process, and only do that one process every day, and finally splice the parts completed by these processes, so that the speed of work should be much faster, right?" Zhao Feng said.

"No, no, my lord, it's not realistic." Master Wang shook his head, "Because everyone's craftsmanship is different, and the measuring tools are not the same, the parts made will also be of different sizes, resulting in the end it is impossible to put them together at all!" ”

"Then you see, can we unify this standard, and then unify the measuring tools, and then send a special person to detect that the manufactured parts do not meet the standards, and we can also pay the craftsmen's wages by piece, and pay the wages that meet the standards, if they do not meet, then the wages of the parts will be deducted! Can this achieve a unified effect? Zhao Feng guided.

"This one does! This is okay! Zhao Feng was just halfway through speaking, Master Wang felt that this matter was feasible, and after listening to what Zhao Feng said, Master Wang jumped up with joy, "Associate the wages of these craftsmen with the parts they make, so that they can be forced to do things in accordance with the standards, and if each person only makes one part, over time practice makes perfect, and the speed will also increase!" The construction period has been greatly shortened, and the Lord is really a man of God! ”

"Hehe......" Zhao Feng smiled and didn't say anything, such a production form of assembly line operation, but it was first proposed by Ford after more than 2,000 years, it is strange that this Master Wang is not surprised!

"Well, you set the standard as soon as possible, so that all the craftsmen follow the standard you set! It's best to make a standard mold first, which will help to check, and give it to me after you finish it, and I'll see if the standard is up to standard! After that, the standard training of assembly line operation will be carried out, and not only bows and arrows, but also guns and knives must be carried out assembly line operations! At the same time, the recruitment of craftsmen, apprentices had to be carried out immediately! Zhao Feng commanded.

"My lord! You can rest assured! Master Wang smiled brightly and said, "You gave such a high salary, the salary is still in the form of piecework, whoever you want to do, if this is a recruitment, you will definitely have a long queue!" Moreover, if you do what you say, the work efficiency will definitely be greatly improved, and I think that in less than two months, the things that the lord needs will be able to be manufactured! ”

"Hmmm! You can do it without worry! If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will fully support you. Zhao Feng said.

"Lord, there is one more thing, that is, our iron in Liaodong doesn't seem to be enough, right?" Master Wang said.

"Well, that's the truth, but don't worry, I've already sent someone to mine iron ore, and I believe it will be delivered soon!" Zhao Fengdao.

"So, everything is ready!" Master Wang said, "The lord is waiting for me to change the new equipment for my Liaodong soldiers!" ”

"Hehe, shorten the construction period as soon as possible, time is running out!" Zhao Feng looked out the window and said with emotion, the Yellow Turban Uprising should be February this year, right? Who are you going to send with me to give the testimony?

Sure enough, as Zhao Feng said, within a few days, the first batch of iron ore was transported to Liaodong.

Master Wang was also full of energy, and on the second day after Zhao Feng gave the order, he took the mold to Zhao Feng, and then, without waiting for the iron ore to come, he organized the first production line and began to make bows and arrows!

……

"Second brother, third brother! Look at the weapons I have designed for you, and they are not to your liking. Zhao Feng called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and handed the style diagram of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and the Zhangba Snake Spear to the two of them.

"This knife is invincible!" Guan Yu's eyes burst out with strong longing, just like a hungry homeless man suddenly saw a table of delicacies.

"Big brother! You're a roundworm in my stomach! Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I've always wanted such a spear!" ”

"Go, go, go! So disgusting stuff you love when you should go! I'm not! Zhao Feng thought jokingly.

"Hehe, big brother, don't be angry, when will I get this weapon?" Zhang Fei asked.

"I'll let Master Wang personally craft the weapons of the two of you! In less than half a month, you'll be using new weapons! Zhao Feng said.

"Brother Xie!" Guan Zhang and the two said in unison.

"I'm still so polite with my eldest brother?" Zhao Feng said, "Actually, I have long wanted to build this weapon for you, but there is no condition, fortunately, when the expedition to Wuhuan is made, the other party's generals are not strong, otherwise, if the two of you are damaged, how can I go in my heart?" ”

"Big brother!" The two of them were moved.

"Okay, big brother will give you this weapon to help you fight and make contributions!" Zhao Fengdao.

"Big brother, you must use this Blue Dragon Glaive Knife to kill all the enemies for your big brother!" Guan Yu said sharply.

"I'm the same!" Zhang Fei said.

"Good brothers, all my good brothers!" Zhao Feng smiled, the joy in his heart overflowing.

……

At the same time, the Liaodong Army of the expedition to Wuhuan has also returned to Liaodong, and according to Zhao Feng's orders, the whole army voluntarily signed up for the guard battalion, and then the selection was carried out in a unified manner!

As a result, there were as many as 5,000 candidates for this guard battalion! This result greatly surprised Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng also began to think about it, how to screen the members of the guard battalion, how to do it, not only to complete the screening, but also to convince the public? This question gave Zhao Feng a headache!
