The beginning of the change began when Chen Jian returned to Yucheng from the mine more than three months ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was a lot of confusion, and this was the true portrayal of the headland island at that time.

More than 400 people have been mobilized from Xiacheng, and the number of skilled workers has been enriched, and there are more than 8,000 workshop workers, and the ratio has reached twenty to one, which is the minimum in the case of inefficient management.

Chen Jian did not rush to build the smelting furnace immediately, because once the iron-smelting furnace was ignited, it was impossible to stop, and the furnace would be scrapped when it stopped, and he could not be in a hurry until all the preparations were completed.

The whole city was still barren, and everywhere was turned over the loess, and there was a lot of commotion.

The bulk of the trade between the rest of the city and the summer city also began to flow in a steady stream, and every day there was a commotion near the small wharf, and the work between the nine workshop divisions was also disorganized, and the planning and statistics department did not know what to do after he left, because the distribution of goods was quarreled every day.

It seems that everyone is busy, but in reality there is no efficiency at all, except for the people in the construction department who build houses every day, and the people in the education department who teach the children, the rest of them have a hammer and a broom, and the few days away make Yucheng's weaknesses visible: the high degree of planning can be completely chaotic if it lacks the deployment of the Planning and Statistics Division.

The corners of the red fish's mouth are full of blood blisters these days, and his eyes are red. When Jian Chen got off the boat, she was arguing with the people from the carpentry department, asking them why they didn't finish the wooden beams and tiles on time, the people from the carpentry department said that the people from the supply and marketing department did not prepare the tools, the people from the supply and marketing department said that the people from the transportation department did not ship them on time, the people from the transportation department said that the carpentry department did not prepare the boat and carriage for transportation, and the people from the carpentry department said that if you don't prepare all the tools for me first, how can I make them?

The structure of the whole Yucheng is like a person, and the Department of Planning and Statistics is the mind, and when the mind is clear, this person is much stronger than those natural animals who rely on invisible hands. But once this mind is messed up, it will be at a loss.

As soon as Jian Chen got off the boat, the group of people buzzed around like flies that had seen blood, and Jian Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't care, don't ask, do it casually for five days, and talk about it after five days." No one is allowed to leave the island, they are to be on call. ”

After the black-clothed guard dispersed everyone, Chen Jian came to the Planning and Statistics Department, and the sixteen people in it were all regarded as the highest talents in the entire Xiacheng system, who could count chickens and rabbits in the same cage, could calculate the Pythagorean theorem, and could also recognize and write, and were the talents who had been cultivated in three or five years.

With the addition of Hongyu and Chen Jian himself, there are a total of eighteen people who are counted as the fourth and fifth grade level in the later generations, and there are thirty people who have just arrived at a lower level.

These people had no idea what they were going to do, and it seemed that they were just counting numbers, which they had done before when they were in Xia City, but they had forgotten the full name of this department, and there were two words about planning before the statistics.

One by one, like babies looking forward to their mothers, their eyes were red, and they asked what they were going to do.

Jian Chen was not angry, this was the expected result, he asked someone to boil a piece of boiling water, and soaked some mint leaves that moistened his throat, and told these people to sit down and drink water first, and they were not allowed to be impatient.

The cool mint leaves extinguished the fire, and the freshly painted mud house exuded a fishy smell of lime, Chen Jian took a sip of water and asked with a smile, "What have you been doing these days?" ”

Hongyu was extremely helpless, bowed his head and said, "I didn't do anything." Just count the number of people according to what you said, and count what we have done. But this plan ...... We just can't do it. It's not as simple as boiling water or cutting meat first, every decision you make has to consider the impact on others. ”

"I thought about transporting the grain that Sucheng and the upstream cities exchanged with us first, but when the ship left, I found that there were still a bunch of tools to prepare."

After listening to the complaints, Jian Chen looked at the large pile of wooden tablets stacked here and asked, "This is what you counted?" ”

"Yes, as you said. Those workshop workers. Age, injuries, men and women, number of men and women in each workshop division. All the ships, vehicles, cattle and horses that we can transport now. ”

Chen Jian was relieved of their statistical ability, and after clan differentiation, restructuring of the division, population registration, tax collection, land statistics, etc., in Xiacheng, he had honed the basic statistical ability of these people.

After opening it, it was as he thought, the record was very clear, there was no need to count the name, only the number was written according to the wooden card that was dealt at the beginning, so it was much simpler.

After looking at it for a while, Jian Chen threw the wooden tablet aside and said, "We are the Department of Planning and Statistics." It is necessary to count and plan. So what do you say is the most fundamental purpose of building houses, transporting grain, distributing tools, and so on? ”

"Build Yucheng?"

"Yes. Build up Yucheng. So what is the foundation of building Yucheng? ”

The people below shook their heads, Chen Jian pointed at himself, and then pointed at them, "It's basically human." People have to live to work. Then the most fundamental thing is to ensure that people live, and only after people survive, can they build workshops. ”

"What is the purpose of building a workshop? We don't build to build workshops, we build to live better. To understand this, you don't kill sheep to kill, you kill them to eat. ”

"Then to survive, the most basic thing is food, shelter and clothing. When you are full, you can't freeze to death, and then you can think about something else. The more things you want, the more things you have to plan. ”

"Don't be afraid, although there are more and more things to plan, you are also growing and learning day by day, and there is nothing that your mind and hands cannot do."

"Your current statistics are on the headland island, not counting the village farms and those mines, counting our old countrymen, there are more than 4,300 young and strong."

"That's a big number."

As he spoke, Jian Chen took out a pen and calculated for a while, then raised his head and said, "Four thousand three hundred, according to the minimum standard of starvation, need 10,000 catties of corn and 100 catties of salt every day. ”

"To cook these things and make a fire at night, you need 20,000 catties of firewood."

"In the future, if we want to ensure that these 4,300 people live, according to the calculation of 16 or 7 people in one house, we need at least 300 rooms. If each house is made of bricks, it needs more than 40,000 bricks, and if you add workshops and the like, you need about 16 million bricks in total. ”

When sixteen million yuan was spoken, everyone took a breath and pulled their fingers at the huge amount.

Jian Chen hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, it's just 24,000 square meters of soil, the bricks that have been burned for more than a month before, and the inland rivers that have been dug for more than a month, are evenly distributed on everyone, but only two or three squares, don't be afraid." ”

"Winter is coming soon, and to ensure that these more than 4,000 people do not freeze to death, we need 4,000 sets of winter clothes. Not counting the treatment of the old countrymen, how much linen is needed for these 4,000 sets of winter clothes? How much hay do you have to prepare in advance? ”

"We relied on bronze, gunpowder, war horses, vehicles, etc., in exchange for enough food and linen that we couldn't use for a year, so how do we transport these things back? How much do I need to ship per day? Which ones are shipped first? Is it going to be shipped empty? Or do you carry our goods with you when you ship them? ”

"Which ones are shipped first and which ones are shipped later, but also consider the food, clothing, and housing I said before. For example, winter clothes, when it snows and then transport linen back, is there enough time? After making winter clothes, is spring coming? How many people do you need to make 4,000 sets of winter clothes? How long does it take? ”

"Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, this must be ensured first. From these statistics, many problems can be discerned. Connecting the people who are statistical, to their needs, and then translating those needs into plans, that's what we do in the Planning and Statistics Division. ”

"If you can't even guarantee food, clothing, shelter and transportation first, then everything else is empty talk, including workshops."

"Do you understand?"

More than 40 people nodded together, basically understood, in fact, what Chen Jian said was not right at all, and it was vulgar, but to ensure that they could understand, they could only talk like this, and it was impossible to come up and talk about the theory of the hierarchy of needs first, and everything was based on the practice of local methods.

"Now, let me ask, Redfish, and let everyone here figure out how it works."

"Let's talk about food first. How much grain is stored in Yucheng now? How much salt is stored? ”

"400,000 catties of corn and 8,000 catties of salt. 60,000 catties of wheat flour, wheat flour is transported from upstream. ”

"How many days can these grains and salt, according to the minimum requirements? This time, you don't need to answer, the people below will do the math and write down the number for me. ”

The sound of Sasha's charcoal sliding on the clay plate sounded, and it was quickly calculated, and it was almost calculated that it would last for a month.

Jian Chen first praised the calculation level of these people, and then said: "If nothing else, what can the things you calculated just now prove?" What can change? ”

As soon as the words fell, Hongyu reacted, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he was booed by Jian Chen and nodded his head, signaling to wait.

After a long while, someone finally raised his hand tremblingly, and Jian Chen smiled: "Let's talk about it." It's nothing wrong to say. ”

The young man said unconfidently, "Don't you mean...... Sister Hongyu is busy transporting grain these days, isn't it right? Can we transport grain without rushing for at least half a month, and transport other tools and the like to the ship first, and then transport it after half a month? ”

There was silence for a while, and when the young man was a little scared, he heard the applause in his ears, and Jian Chen took the lead, and soon the applause was connected.

The young man's face was red, but his heart was beautiful, as if he had drunk the snow water of June.

When the applause stopped, Jian Chen wrote down the young man's name and made a note of what he said.

"Very well, that's it. Since there is enough food in half a month, can we save the boat and transport all kinds of tools first? ”

"Of course, we'll talk about this tomorrow, and we'll take care of it today. Can you think of anything else related to food and food? Can you save manpower? ”

This time the silence lasted a little longer, and finally it was Redfish who broke the silence.

"Ji Xia, now the cooking of the nine workshops is separated, if you can combine the cooking together, can you save a lot of manpower, firewood, management and daily withdrawal time?"

made a good start, Chen Jian encouraged a few words, and inspired everyone, half reminding and half encouraging, discussing from noon to midnight, and eating a little dry cake at random halfway, finally perfecting the rules of eating.

The men and women who cook in the nine workshop divisions are combined and placed under the jurisdiction of the supply and marketing department, which can save about 80 people.

The meal times of each workshop division are stipulated, from morning to evening, all staggered, so as to ensure that there are people eating at every hour, but at the same time there are not too many people eating at each hour.

Fifteen of the more than 80 people from the province were selected to be responsible for the meals of the old countrymen and the children of the relatives and nobles in various cities.

In this way, a total of 60 people can be saved, and at the same time, the time of daily withdrawal and calculation can be saved, and a large amount of firewood can be saved.

From the beginning of eating to the end of eating, I did such a thing all day.

Nearly fifty people, after six or seven hours, the final result of the discussion was not amazing, but it saved sixty people.

But Jian Chen felt that this was a good start, at least they understood what the numbers were for, and some of the numbers that sounded scary were actually nothing.

It's like a mess of thousands of things, and finally a thread has been pulled.

The thread end is very short. The mess is very long. But as long as the shuttle is entangled, under the fiddling of the woman's flexible fingers, it will eventually turn into a ball of thread. (To be continued.) )
