Chapter 280: Lao Wang's Troubles

Bao Shipyard has been on the right track, and the assembly line operation method not only improves efficiency, but also liberates a large number of craftsmen. The www.biquge.info of the pen has had a headache recently, and he used to be troubled by the shortage of manpower, but now the merchant ships and treasure ships have been almost built, and seeing that Hou Ye does not pull some business, the treasure shipyard will face a deficit.

A large number of artisans will face unemployment, which is the malaise of the reforms, and although the artisans have a considerable salary, they will not have the security they used to have. In the past, although their personal freedom was restricted, the state would not let them die evilly, and they could still have three free meals when they were not working.

But now the treasure shipyard no longer provides three meals for the craftsmen for free, and they have to pay if they want to eat. Although the merchant shipwrights had earned enough money for a year's living expenses for the family, they would be able to spend the rest of their lives with peace of mind even if they had no work to do in the coming days.

But it has always been a diligent craftsman who can't be idle at all, seeing the hope of making a fortune and tasting the sweetness brought by the reform of the treasure shipyard, the craftsmen are full of enthusiasm. Recently, shipbuilding has come to an end, and jobs have become more and more scarce, and craftsmen have begun to compete for jobs.

Some people even took the initiative to reduce their wages in order to win a job, and Lao Wang was very happy to have such a good thing at first, after all, it was a good thing to be able to save the cost of wages for the treasure shipyard, so he let it go and let such things continue to happen.

But recently, the disadvantages of this practice have been revealed one after another, the craftsmen with good masters are fine, but those who do a little bit of craftsmanship and engage in some relatively simple jobs have been extremely short of jobs.

No matter how much competition Lao He has, he will not be able to get a job for everyone, and after half a month and the merchant ships are completed, the vast majority of craftsmen in the treasure shipyard will face unemployment. How to arrange the work of nearly 10,000 people made Lao Wang fall into a very distressed situation.

It had reached the point of burning his eyebrows, Lao Wang had to find Tang Ming, and the next morning, he left everything in the treasure shipyard and hurried to the Zheng Mansion alone to see Tang Ming.

Hearing Lao Wang's explanation, Tang Ming smiled and looked very calm: "Lao Wang, you can't do this competition for a post at all." Bao shipyard has today's situation is not easy, the assembly line operation has freed up a large number of manpower, each batch of people is responsible for a link, so not only greatly improve the quality, but also improve the speed, mass production also greatly reduce the cost. ”

"When the cost is reduced, the efficiency is also improved, and the treasure shipyard will naturally be able to make a profit, and then take a little out of the profit and delegate it to the craftsman, which can improve the efficiency, and this cycle is fundamental. But what kind of competition do you get to work, once the wages of craftsmen fall, you may not see the disadvantages at first, but after a long time, the problem will inevitably be exposed, and the virtuous circle of the treasure shipyard will also be destroyed. ”

Lao Wang has also figured out this truth recently, but the fundamental problem is that the craftsman has no job, which is the key.

"Master Hou, the truth Lao Wang also understands, the merchant ships that are being built in the Kebao Shipyard are almost completed, and the nearly 20,000 craftsmen in it will face more than half of the people who are idle at home. They have now tasted the sweetness of the reforms brought by Hou Ye to the treasure shipyard, and the hope of making a fortune makes them unwilling to sit idle, so they have come to me many times to continue working. I don't know what way Hou Ye can solve the dilemma in front of him? ”

They were stunned when they heard this, he didn't expect that there were still people who didn't even want to rest. Where did he understand the diligence of the ancient craftsmen, who spent their lives in heavy labor, and labor has become a manifestation of their self-worth.

After pondering for a while, Tang Ming suddenly thought of a good way, he was worried that there were not enough craftsmen to build the Hou Mansion and develop the manor in the past two days. It wasn't long before I pulled these people from the Treasure Shipyard over.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Lao Wang, you don't have to worry about this matter, after returning to the treasure shipyard, immediately register these craftsmen with me, count the number of people, Hou Ye, I have other arrangements for them, in the future, the craftsmen of the treasure shipyard can be kept in sufficient operation, and I will let them change their identities if they are redundant." ”

"What arrangement does Master Hou want to make for these craftsmen?" Lao Wang himself is also a craftsman, and he has always been very concerned about his fellow craftsmen, and their fate is also one of his concerns.

They naturally understood Lao Wang's concerns, and said with a smile: "You don't need to worry, Master Hou, I have always been kind-hearted in doing things, and you have been in contact with me for so long, have you ever seen me treat anyone badly." ”

"Hou Ye is the most worthy boss that Lao Wang has ever met, and he is also the only object that Lao Wang is willing to go to. The anxious old Wang showed a suspicious attitude, and he was scared into a cold sweat, and he immediately remedied it.

Whoever is praised and trusted will be in a good mood, Tang Ming is no exception, and at the same time, he will be complacent as an ordinary man.

In order to make Lao Wang completely relieved to do things, he didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "You should have heard about the affairs of the Hou Mansion and the manor, these two places need a large number of craftsmen now. Xia Yuanji of the household department deliberately made it difficult for me, and the craftsmen of the Hou Mansion only gave me 1,000 people, and now there is a huge gap. ”

"There are also many farmers who need to build Gaochun's manor once they are built, and when you go back, you will post a notice to explain the matter to them, and let the craftsmen choose for themselves. Remember, don't force them to voluntarily know? ”

"Knowing Master Hou, then Lao Wang will rush back to arrange it now!"

Tang Ming waved his hand, Lao Wang bowed and retreated again, and the reputation of the Hou Ye was already in full swing among the craftsmen of the Treasure Shipyard. As long as he brought up something, no one would ignore it, so Lao Wang was absolutely sure that those idle craftsmen would definitely be very interested in it.

The problem that had plagued him for many days was solved, not to mention how happy Lao Wang was, and as soon as he returned to Daobao Shipyard, he immediately held a mobilization meeting, and said what Hou Ye meant, and none of the craftsmen were unwilling, and they rushed to sign up.

Tang Ming found Li Dazhui, who had already recovered from his injuries, this guy had recently been recuperating from his injuries in the Zheng Mansion with nearly a hundred subordinates of the sharpshooter battalion, eating and sleeping well in the Zheng Mansion, and they also started some simple training under the leadership of Li Dazhui.

Jianwen's whereabouts have a clue, and now he is only waiting for the emperor's final order, so Tang Ming must first train a group of available people for this purpose. And there is no better candidate than Li Dazhu, the wounded of the sharpshooter battalion. Being called by Tang Ming early in the morning, Li Dazhui was secretly happy in his heart, he knew that the formal training was about to begin. (To be continued.) )
