Sun's face turned heavy and he said,

"I thought about it all morning today, the current situation of our Ironwood Battalion is very dangerous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info We are threatened with four kinds of death at the same time: starvation, freezing to death, war death, and disease death. Of these four types of death, the more urgent the first in the rank, and the more dangerous the more in the back. We've thought of something about the war just now, and now we're going to talk about the rest. “

Yang Liu and Ga Li Guang saw that Lord Lidel was going to talk about something big with the leaders, so they hurriedly withdrew and went to eat with the stuffy eggs.

Daoist Jia was silent, and quietly squatted down at Sun Yi's "dining table".

Sun said as he walked,

"To be honest, my brain hurts when I think about it, and I haven't come up with any good ideas, just a stupid idea."

Without thinking about it, he said, "It's okay to be stupid!" ”

Sun Yiyi: "This stupid way is to constantly improve efficiency. We have too few people, we are limited by food, and we cannot increase our manpower. Only to keep being efficient, racing against death, and jumping out before death catches us. ”

The sun fell and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the donkey?" ”

Sun Yi replied: "......"

Sun Yi put it another way: "Let's put it this way, that is, everyone does more work than in the past!" ”

The sun fell and he hurriedly said: "As long as we can live, we are not afraid of hardship!" ”

Sun Yi said:

"It's really a way to do it;"

"There is another way, such as the orange tree I saw today, which is more efficient than using people to lift water. We're just going to keep using tools like oranges, and keep making everybody do more work than they used to. ”

The sun is falling, and I finally understand that what the master is talking about is not livestock.

"The third way to improve efficiency is to optimize resources and divide labor and cooperation." Sun Yi unconsciously told the boss's cliché when the company held a meeting in the future.

"I'll give you an example, if you put all the children in a team in the care of one or two people during the day, and everyone else goes out to work, isn't it more efficient?"

The sun fell and nodded: "There is a lot of work to do." ”

Sun Yi continued: "There are many ways to improve efficiency, you have to use your own brains. ”

Sun paused,

"Especially when it comes to farming, don't count on me, I just learned to distinguish between millet and millet in the field this morning!"

The sun fell and he arched his hand to Wang Erniu, "Erniu, I don't know about farming, you bother." ”

Wang Erniu pondered for a while, "Let me think about the division of labor and cooperation that the master said; Orange tree to lift water, it is said that the donkey is higher to get water from the overturn, originally because the croppers were unwilling to spend a lot of money in the spring and autumn, but now since they want to live in this place for a long time, they can naturally make more farm tools. So, I'll call the crop cooks and the craftsmen together to discuss. ”

A one-stop reminder: "It's not just about farming, everything like raising chickens, pigs, and vegetables, and things that can have more food to eat, all of them should be discussed and discussed!" ”

Wang Erniu agreed.

Jia Daoshi added: "When Lord Lidel asked Lord Shennong to be our master, Lord also promised not to let Lord Shennong worry about it, and asked us to think about planting good crops ourselves, or we were not filial!" ”

Wang Erniu glanced at the Taoist priest dissatisfiedly: "I'll gather all the formulas together to discuss in the dark!" ”

……

Sun Yi waited for everyone to calm down, and then said: "In addition to discussing farming, there is another important matter, which is to make sewing needles. ”

Several of the leaders were curious.

Sun Yi explained: "The quality of our sewing needles is better than that of other places, and the cost is lower than that of other places, so that other places can buy them!" As long as we make a good sewing needle, we are a paradise! I can't explain the truth here in a sentence or two, you just need to believe me. ”

Several CEOs immediately became serious.

The manufacture of sewing needles was a deliberate and important decision for Sun Yi.

——Since there is no shortcut to the industrialization of the later generations represented by steel processing, and it must be crossed, then choose a clear goal to break through in a down-to-earth manner! Even if it takes five, ten, twenty years!

Small sewing needles, few raw materials, low unit price, high profits, but the market is extremely huge.

In the 19th century, when foreign goods began to hit the Chinese market, the sales of soap, matches, candles, and kerosene were not as good as sewing needles.

It is recorded that the mass import of machine-made sewing needles from China began in 1867.

In 1891, 3.1 billion sewing needles were imported.

From the 6th to the 20th year of the Republic of China (1917~1931), China imported a total of 8.41 billion machine-made sewing needles, equivalent to more than 3,400 silver dollars!

The machine-made sewing needle process itself includes a variety of machining technologies, and the industry collaboration involved reflects the social division of labor.

Anyone who has read The Wealth of Nations knows that the classic example of Adam Smith's theory of the division of labor and cooperation in modern industrialization is the sewing needle.

In other words, a small sewing needle can not only make a lot of money, but also promote the full industrialization of the ironwood battalion.

However, the technique of making sewing needles by hand is very simple, and the people of the Ming Dynasty can start immediately, and then continue to improve production efficiency driven by profits, achieve full mechanized production, and then keep improving the machine to improve production efficiency.

Sure enough, Wang Erniu immediately said that the sewing needle is very simple, and you can start work tomorrow!

Sun Yi happily announced: "Let's set a small goal first: sell it 100 million sewing needles first!" ”

The production technique of needles in the Ming Dynasty's "Heavenly Creations".

Where there is a needle, the iron is hammered into a thin strip first; Use an iron ruler to cone into a thread, draw an iron into a thread, and cut it inch by inch into a needle. The end of the first hammer is Chengying, and the small mallet is used to flatten its original, and the cone is pierced through the nose, and the outside of the hammer is repeated. Then put it into a kettle and stir-fry over low heat. After stir-frying, put the pine wood fire arrow and tempeh into the soil and cover it, and steam it with fire. Leave two or three needles and insert them outside to test the heat. The outer needle is twisted into crushing, and the next needle is sufficient. Then open the seal and enter the water. All the threads of garments and embroidery are of rigid quality; However, if the horsetail thorn is the crown, a wicker soft needle is used. The magic of the difference lies in the water, fire, and law.
