Chapter 158 The wife came to the door

"Ugh!" Liu Laoshi struck a spirit, and the lazy expression on his face disappeared in an instant.

He can often see Zhu Eighty-one, especially in the three months after he laid Huai'an, almost every day or two, everyone can see that simple smiling face. However, in front of Zhu Bayi, even the laziest craftsman did not dare to cheat. Without him, everyone can live a good life today, thanks to the blessing of the Governor. If it weren't for Zhu Dudu and everyone to build armor and cannons together, everyone would probably be busy for a whole year, and they would not be able to leave a hundred or ten coppers. How can it be like now, with food and clothing, and a monthly bonus in addition to wages that can be taken home?

One of the big differences between man and beast is that man has a conscience. Especially from the embarrassing state of eating the last meal without the next meal, they were suddenly pulled to a situation of abundant food and clothing, I am afraid that they will not be able to forget this kindness for the rest of their lives.

Not only Liu Laoshi, but also the vast majority of craftsmen in the workshop, are grateful to Zhu Bayi from the bottom of their hearts. If the people in Huai'an City are ranked according to their loyalty to Zhu Bayi, as a whole, the craftsman gate may still be ranked in front of the generals and scholars. After all, the latter two can still be relied on when they are under the command of others in troubled times. And the craftsmen, here in Zhu Eighty-one and in others, the treatment and status are very different.

"Governor, Governor!" "You're here!" "The Governor is here!" Other craftsmen, craftsmen, and apprentices who arrived at Juezhu Eighty-one also took the initiative to greet each other. Due to the use of assembly line operation and a large number of hydraulic machinery, the No. 2 Artillery Workshop, which is responsible for the rough grinding of the inside of the barrel, is not very busy. A lot of the time, it's people standing and waiting for the casting in Workshop 1, rather than letting the casting wait for someone.

In the absence of precise timing equipment, this is inevitable. After all, if you let people be idle for a while, everyone can still take the opportunity to recover their bodies without causing too much loss. However, if the barrel is not sharpened while it is hot, the difficulty of grinding will increase exponentially when it is completely cooled. And it is no longer suitable for simple hydraulic grinding machines, which must rely entirely on manual work.

"Everyone will be busy with whatever they should be busy, I'll just come and have a look!" Zhu Eighty-one waved his hand politely and greeted the craftsmen. Influenced by Zhu Dapeng's part of memory, he has a very strong sense of affinity for the industry and engineering technicians of this era. So he never put the shelf of the general manager of Huaidong Road in front of everyone, and only regarded himself as a very ordinary member of it.

"Not busy, not busy!" The craftsmen and craftsmen can't do him so freely. They all blushed and waved their hands wryly, "Don't dare to deceive the governor, since you have this hydraulic grinder, the work of grinding the cannon has been saved at least ninety." I've just handed over the last batch of barrels, and the next batch of barrels will be delivered, at least a quarter of an hour later! ”

"Oh!" Zhu Bayi thought about it and nodded slightly. "Then everyone will sit down and drink some tea, it's hot, don't get heatstroke. Is the tea still delivered regularly? Can you get them some more mung bean soup? ”

The second half of the sentence was said to Huang Lao, the young man of the workshop. The latter immediately opened his throat and responded loudly, "Governor Qiyu, the tea has been boiling." According to the orders of the governor, he kept buying new tea. The mung bean soup has not been burned, if the governor thinks that thing can relieve the heat, he will ask someone to buy mung beans! ”

"Go buy it! Don't worry about money. Boil a few pots a day and add a little salt to them! Zhu Bayi thought about it and added casually.

This kind of heatstroke prevention and cooling benefit in the 21st century is a different taste to the ears of craftsmen. Immediately, someone knelt on the stone slab, kowtowed, and said, "Kill, kill." Dudu, what kind of identity is the villain, taking a lot of money in your hands every month, and taking care of food and clothing, how dare you ask for mung bean soup to drink? Killed, really killed! ”

"What is killed is not killed, mung beans are not valuable!" Zhu Eighty-one didn't like others kneeling down to him the most, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled everyone up one by one, and said loudly at the same time, "Get up, get up, don't kneel without moving." You deserve your wages, and if you want to say thank you, I should be grateful to you. After all, every cannon is sharpened by your own hands! ”

"Governor, Governor is so benevolent and righteous, I wait, I won't dare to forget until I die!"

"The governor, the governor is very kind, and the villains can't be repaid for their broken bones, they can only, only"

"Governor, you are always generous. If the villains don't do things wholeheartedly, they will do things, and they will thunder and thunder! ”

More craftsmen red-eyed and choked. In the past, they could also get paid for working for other owners. But at that time, the owner seemed to be giving alms. There has never been a proprietor like Zhu Bayi, who really treats them as his own people and as his own kind.

"Old man, what kind of ability is it to cry and wipe your tears one by one! If you really want to repay the governor, you can make a few more serious goods and a few fewer defective products, which is better than anything! Huang Lao crooked in time, and finally calmed everyone down.

Immediately, some people took the lead in expressing their stance that they would no longer dare to grind the gun chamber hard, otherwise they would rather be deducted from their wages. Some people also explained with a red face, saying that the last time they sharpened the gun chamber to be thin on one side and thick on the other, they forgot to burn incense for Grandpa Lu Ban before going to work that day. Next time, I will continue to burn incense every day, and I will never dare to deliberately slack off again.

No matter what everyone said, Zhu Eighty-one just listened with a smile, and did not accuse or refute. Because he knows that everyone is not so much reviewing their mistakes at the moment, but trying to vent their feelings in their hearts. In fact, with the current measurement accuracy and mechanical application level, it is very rare to be able to keep the defective rate at about one and a half. After all, except for the grinding machine itself, which is hydraulically driven, all other work has to be done by the bare hands of craftsmen. And the smallest unit of length measurement in this era can only be accurate to the minute, which is more than a hundred times different from that of later generations. (Note 1)

"Actually, in fact, if you get the grinding stone and the iron rod attached to the back of the grinding stone, maybe you can make the grinding less biased!" Liu Laoshi's group has produced the most defective products this month, and they really can't pull their faces to put the blame on the ghosts. After holding back for a long time, he suddenly interjected loudly.

"Change the grinder, just you? Come on, Lao Liu, you're trying to find a way to be lazy again! The crowd immediately turned their eyes to him and laughed loudly.

Liu Laoshi is an old man who joined the workshop at the same time as Huang Lao. But because of his lazy temperament, he has never reached the standard of literacy of more than 300, so he is still an ordinary craftsman. And the vast majority of his group of people have now passed the minimum assessment standards set by Zhu Eighty-one and have become craftsmen. Therefore, the workers in the same workshop usually don't look down on him, and they don't think he can come up with any tricks to solve the problem!

"Who, who wants to be lazy, I, I just, just feel, just by the hands and eyes. No one can guarantee that there will be no crooked guns! Liu Laoshi blushed from laughter, stalked his neck, and loudly defended himself.

"But no one is as big as you!"

"Yes, yes. You're all about to beat the four of us! The craftsman pursed his lips and continued to laugh and count.

"I, I can make a military order, yes, a military order. If, if it doesn't work according to my method, the governor, the governor can cut off my head! Liu Laoshi was forced to be ruthless, so he simply raised his hand high and shouted loudly.

At this moment, all the people were dumbfounded. I don't see anyone who looks down all day long, and everyone squeezes and squeezes him without any psychological pressure, but if he is really driven to a dead end, everyone will have to feel guilty for a lifetime. In the future, whoever sees his family will have to stick their heads down against the wall.

"Governor, you can make a military order under the order. If I can't do it and waste the materials, you will cut off my head! After bluffing all the workers, Liu Laoshi immediately turned his head to Zhu Eighty-one and reiterated loudly.

"You don't need to make a military order!" Zhu Bayi shook his head with a smile, "Tell me your method, let's try it together." Lao Huang, he will be in charge of grinding the barrel later, and you can find someone else to grind it for him. Let's hear if he makes sense! ”

"The barrels of our group, I'll do it myself!" The craftsman Qian Fifteen hurriedly interjected, saying that he did not need any external help.

"That's good!" Zhu Eighty-one nodded approvingly, and then turned his gaze to Liu Laoshi, "Are we talking here, or are we going to Huang Shaocheng?" It's up to you! ”

"That's it!" Liu honestly knew whether he could be promoted to a craftsman without exception, and it all depended on this hammer deal. Gritted his teeth and responded loudly, "In front of the real thing, say it more clearly!" Governor, come with me! ”

With that, he walked quickly to the grinder, pointed to the oval grinding stone, and added loudly, "This thing is thick, and the iron rod behind it is thin, so it is easy to shake." The copper cannon is pushed from the pulley, and the grinding stone does not go in without pushing hard. If you use force, if you are not careful, you will make the grinding stone crooked. And the hot copper is soft and can't be felt at all at first. By the time I felt it, a pipe was almost worn out. No matter how you look back, it's hard to get it even. ”

"That's the truth!" Although Zhu Bayi has never operated a grinder himself, he is influenced by Zhu Dapeng, and his engineering thinking is very strong. After a little pondering, I understood that Liu Laoshi had found the problem at the key point.

So I pondered to add three rows of brass wings to the iron rod behind me. They were as wide as the sharpest part of the grinding stone in front of them, and were welded to it like a herringbone. If the grinding stone is crooked, the copper wings behind it will immediately get stuck in the barrel. And copper and copper, it can't be rubbed for a while. When the craftsman door hears that the sound is wrong, he can immediately push the block back and find the axis again! ”

"This-well, that makes sense!" Zhu Bayi thought about it, and the connecting rod appearance described by Liu Laoshi quickly appeared in front of him. It is true that the craftsman can quickly show the problem of eccentricity, but the cost is larger. But it's worth the investment compared to one or two scrapped barrels every day.

"Well, you're right! This can really make everyone realize that the grinding head has gone astray! Huang Lao's reaction was not slow, he raised his eyebrows and responded loudly.

"And!" Seeing that Zhu Dudu and Manager Huang both supported their ideas, Liu Laoshi was even bolder. He pointed to the semi-elliptical grinding stone again, and said loudly, "The little one really doesn't understand why the governor used stones to grind the cannon chamber in the first place. Since the hot copper is still soft, there are not many burrs in the breech. Wouldn't it be better to change this stone into a three-piece steel knife? Take the steel blade that we coldly smashed with the largest forging hammer, or make a herringbone shape, welded to the connecting rod, as thick as the muzzle. As long as you can put the knife head into the muzzle, it is positive, and it will not be crooked! And the degree is still fast, there is the effort to grind one cannon chamber, enough to pick three out. If you don't believe the Dusk, try the way I say! If not, I'll pay you all year round! ”

"This" Zhu Eighty-one snatched the brush from Qian Fifteen's hand, three strokes and two strokes, and drew the "herringbone" knife head that Liu Laoshi said on the paper.

Although the things drawn by the brush are a little out of shape. But after adding the pulley and the stone base, the general outline immediately reminded him of the extremely widely used industrial tool in later generations, the horizontal boring machine. Although the boring cutter is herringbone, it looks very unusual. But considering that the workpiece is now completely pushed by people, the three-edged boring tool may be the best choice.

"Oh my God!" He slapped himself on the back of the head hard, and only then did he suppress the urge to pull Liu Laoshi aside and ask about the QQ number.

It wasn't the first time he'd had been so impulsive. It was once when I saw Jiao Yu making the barrel, and last month, the boss of the Huang family changed the clay model of the casting cannon to the iron model once, and again today. He really couldn't imagine that if all the hidden potential was released, the ancient craftsmen in front of him could create any amazing miracles! (Note 1)

"I, I'm going to find someone to forge the blade." Huang Lao snatched the sketch from Zhu Eighty-one and ran out. After tasting the sweetness of the use of hydraulic machinery, no one in the entire workshop was enthusiastic about technological innovation. Because with each successful adoption of a new technology, the production of artillery and other weapons and armor in the workshop will increase by a new level. And the larger the output of the workshop, the more solid his position in the Huai'an army will be. The stronger his position in the army, the brighter the future of his two sons.

"Wait" Zhu Bayi pulled it but didn't hold it, so he could only let Huang Lao go crookedly. Raised his head and looked around, and was about to ask everyone if there were any other improvements. Huang Lao crooked took the sketch again, and together with Hu Dahai, he ran back from the door in a hurry, "Governor, Governor, someone is looking for you outside the guard area of the workshop." ”

"Let him wait!" Zhu Eighty-one didn't like to be disturbed at work the most, he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't respond angrily.

Huang Lao didn't dare to pick up his stubble, but quickly pushed Hu Dahai to the front. The latter gasped a few times before he said loudly, "Qiyu, Qiyu Dudu, yes, it's a woman." She said, she said it was your wife who didn't come through the door! A thousand miles away from a husband is coming! ”

Note 1: Minutes are ancient Chinese units of measurement. One inch is equal to ten. One minute is about 2.3 millimeters now.

Note 2: The original boring machine was specially designed to scrape the chamber of tubular firearms. It appeared around the middle of the fifteenth century. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, in 15o1, Leonardo da Vinci made a hydraulic boring machine and sketched it.
