Chapter 27: Two New Processes
Fang Yun held the plow with both hands, and in front of him was an ordinary old farmer pulling in front.
It could have been possible to use ploughing oxen or horses, but Fang Yun just wanted to show them how good this improved version of the plow could be without animal power.
In fact, the straight plow has begun to become popular, while the curved plow seems to have only undergone some changes, so the old farmers in front of them are not very convinced that this kind of plow is really easy to use. However, the local people are generally very poor, and few can have ploughing oxen, so in the end two people still have to work together to pull the plow.
Now seeing Fang Yun signaling to open, he didn't know how much force to use, he just thought about how much strength he had before. But he didn't want to pull it like that, so he took the plow out directly, almost dragging Fang Yun to lose his center of gravity. And he himself was even more unstable, and he fell directly on the ridge.
However, this time he did not get hurt, but jumped up as quickly as no one, and looked at the ground in disbelief, showing an unbelievable look in his eyes.
"That's right, go ahead!" Fang Yun interrupted his disbelief angrily.
"Yes, yes!" The old peasant came back to his senses, and immediately lifted the zigzag plow and continued to pull it up.
Under his pull, the ploughshare quickly began to turn over the soil on the ground, and it was still so fast. Many of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army are from the bottom, and they can't even say that they have farmed the fields themselves, so they naturally know what is happening in front of them, and because of this, they feel magical. They are all like this, and they are even more said to be the peasants behind, they are directly speechless.
"How?" After plowing for a while, Fang Yun signaled to stop, and then asked the old farmer who was pulling the plough in front.
"Fast, and effortless!" The old farmer returned excitedly.
"If any of you want to try, you can also try it, only this one, give me a little leisure!" Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and said to those civil and military generals. And those people said.
At this moment, everyone immediately gathered around, like a naughty boy who found an interesting toy and immediately became addicted to it.
A day of trial down. Everyone also thoroughly recognized this agricultural tool, but they were curious about when it would be popularized. And Xi Zhicai even suggested that it should be popularized quickly, so that the fields should be doubled first, and then they will be able to cultivate next year.
Fang Yun naturally didn't have any opinions. If it can be taken out, it is naturally necessary to popularize it. So an order was immediately given for the craftsmen to quickly build the plough and distribute it for free......
"My lord, no!" Xi Zhicai suddenly came forward to oppose it, bluntly saying that the free distribution was not good.
"Tell me why!" Fang Yun wasn't angry, he wanted to hear what Xi Zhicai had to say.
"Although this quyuan plough is good, it is all built by us, but I am afraid that the people below will not cherish it if they get cheap. Maybe in their minds, this plough is broken, so they ask us to build another one. Or if they take it and sell it. When the time comes, we will be the ones who will lose money. At the same time, if it's free at the moment, will you have to collect money next time? Originally, I was enjoying the cheap brought by free, but if I suddenly charged it next time, I was afraid that the people would be dissatisfied...... "Xi Zhicai could have said more tactfully, but seeing that many generals around him looked at him with bad eyes, he simply made it straightforward, and let them know the reason, so as to save him trouble later."
"Well, it's really not good to get something for free...... That's good. All the families of the martyrs can get a pair through the declaration and registration, and I don't care what they do. However, they cannot be sold outside the base area, otherwise the qualifications of the families of the martyrs will be cancelled. As for the other families, you can advance one pair to them first. Next year or the year after they have a harvest and they pay the price of the plough at a discount.
This also reminded me that this technology must be kept secret from the outside world, and it is strictly forbidden to sell the Quyuan plough outside the base area, otherwise it can be directly arrested and then executed! It's nothing good, but there is no sense of secrecy. Later, someone else came to spy on us, and it was not easy to pass on all our things? You are all military generals, you should know what will happen after the truth and fiction are discovered by others! Fang Yun swept the generals below, and many of them lowered their heads silently.
They are all the troops that the Yellow Turban Army will join in the future, and even Huang Long and Yang Feng are there. They have also been found out because of the truth before, and they have returned with a big defeat. In retrospect, I seem to realize that it was the subordinates who lacked a sense of secrecy about the military arrangements and talked nonsense to the people around them when they had nothing to do, and as a result, they were overheard by the enemy's spies.
Looking back now, the sense of confidentiality mentioned by Fang Yun really needs to be paid attention to.
"In the future, the technology, technology, and equipment that are related to the life and death of our base area, or that are far ahead of others, should be included in the scope of secrecy, and cannot be easily leaked out without permission. In addition, the military is the same, the military layout, the state of armaments, the logistics situation and many other areas are confidential matters, you senior generals just know, if anyone dares to spread it out indiscriminately, it is the same, the light is to be cut in front, and the heavy one is to show vigilance! With a wave of his hand, Fang Yun determined the confidentiality regulations of the base area.
Of course, this is the most basic, and the specific needs to be formulated by professional people, such as Xi Zhicai.
Sure enough, there are still too few talents, and we must speed up the recruitment of frustrated and individual matching! There is also the discovery of talents, but then again, how can so many qualified civilian officials be willing to join the Yellow Turban Army these days......
After all the civil and military forces had retreated, Fang Yun called Dian Jie over.
Today, Dian Jie does not hold the position of military general, but serves as the director of the industrial bureau, which is a new department in charge of industry. To put it bluntly, it is to manage the craftsmen in the base area.
"This is the draft of two new processes that I have proposed, which I call 'building standardization' and 'assembly line operation'. Among them, "construction standardization" was popularized in the pre-Qin period, which required that the measuring tools must be unified to ensure that the size of all components is consistent.
For example, in the case of catapults, all components do not need to be completed by a craftsman, but each craftsman completes a component and finally assembles it for use, which can effectively save time. The most important thing is that if any part is damaged, it can be replaced in the first place, reducing waste.
At the same time, this way of working in which each craftsman is responsible for one type of module and finally assembles it is called 'assembly line work'. This can not only reduce the production time of the product, but also prevent a craftsman from thoroughly understanding the process of a certain product, and effectively avoid the possibility of spies stealing our key technologies.
Of course, this is just the first draft, and I just give you a grass platform team, how to improve it, how to improve, you, the director of the industrial bureau, have the final say, I am optimistic about you! Fang Yun handed Dian Jie two manuscripts that had been 'created' overnight.
"Whoa!" Dian Jie didn't read the manuscript, but Fang Yun just clicked a few words, which had already made him pause. For a while, I was very excited, as if I had seen a world that I had never seen before, and I just wanted to go back and experiment quickly. (To be continued.) )
PS: Dian Jie may be okay with force, but since the family is iron-struck, it is actually not bad to be the minister of industry!
As for the two things of standardization and assembly line, they are actually also methods that have been played badly, and they have been used in the pre-Qin period. But then again, after the Han Dynasty, who remembered the glory of the pre-Qin back then, at most, only knew about the brutality and inhumanity of the pre-Qin under the government's propaganda, right?
The third is sent!
