A crystal cup fell to the ground and turned into countless fragments, the shiny fragments scattered within five feet.

The Japanese people who saw this scene knelt on the ground without exception.

According to the law of the Japanese people, if a untouchable person does something wrong, those who are with him will be punished together.

What counts as being with him, this criterion originally meant accomplices. However, the Japanese did not have a written word, and when this law was transferred to the hands of the nobles, it became more active, and it could be that any person, or a group of people, was seated together, all according to the mood of the lord.

The angry foreman saw that the Japanese did not react, and quickly called two Tang workers to clean up the ground.

The language barrier is a problem.

By the time the people who knew the Japanese language were found, they had been kneeling for almost a quarter of an hour.

None of the craftsmen of Datang stopped, and continued to work in front of their workbenches, even the owner of the cup did not look at the broken cup, in his eyes it was just a broken cup, if he completed five hundred pieces today, and all of them were excellent, the reward would be enough to buy a box, that is, six cups.

The task of this workshop is to make fasteners for steel rails, and the requirements given by the Ministry of Engineering are as long as they are excellent! Good quality products must be returned to the furnace.

Who dares to slow down?

"Damn, these guys are going to kneel down and die, hurry up and move the table." A blacksmith cursed.

It happened that this sentence was heard by the steward who knew the Japanese language who rushed over, and immediately shouted and ordered: "You, you, go to the stage immediately." And you, prepare spare parts immediately, and a few of you quickly go to clean the burrs! ”

Those who were assigned to work were all overjoyed. Because if you work, you won't be seated together.

In a hurry, wiping a handful of sweat, the foreman complained to himself: "I just went to a latrine, what's wrong here." ”

"Ball, his grandmother's, Lao Tzu doesn't know what to do." The foreman in charge of the technique scolded angrily.

Except for the parties, the rest of the people went to work.

Then the two foremen called the Japanese craftsman into the corner and asked in a knowing language, "What are you kneeling down for?" ”

"The crystal cup is broken, I'm afraid of being killed!"

The foreman who knew the Japanese language was really afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again before he translated it for himself. After hearing this, the master scratched his scalp: "A cup." It's worth not. He's not stupid. ”

"It doesn't matter if you're stupid or not, maybe you'll die if you break the crystal cup on Wajima!"

"Possibly." The two foremen just thought that was it.

He said that he knew the Japanese language, but he was not proficient in it.

"Well, tell him. His craft is not bad. If only he could in a day. 400 fasteners. And if you are all excellent, reward him with a crystal cup. What the fuck is this, let them make such a fuss. The three workshops are afraid that the output is higher than ours. ”

Three workshops!

"Among the Japanese people, there are a few good hands who have been assigned to us. We just divided our craftsmen into four presses, so that there is still half a day left today, and if we are lucky, it will not be a problem to do 1,200 more. The foreman, who knew the Japanese language, seriously came up with an idea.

As soon as these Japanese people arrived, those with skills had already tested their abilities.

But no workshop has dared to use Japanese people as regular workers, and they are all auxiliary workers.

This bold proposal made the pipemen of the pipe skills a little excited, the wages of these Japanese craftsmen are extremely low, and the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty build 500 steel buckles, if they are all excellent, they will have at least 200 to 225 wen income.

Counting vacation days, or rushing to work every day, even the reward of overtime and no vacation. There are not a few people who get seven or even eight yuan a month.

But these Japanese craftsmen, now according to the calculation of small workers, can give 400 yuan a month, even if they get a lot. It's just that the blacksmith's workshop doesn't care about breakfast and dinner, but only one meal at noon. They are not included, because they are in a town near the county seat, and it is very convenient to eat and live. Except for food and housing, such wages are already heaven and earth different from those of labor outside.

"It's done. Tell this man and let him try his job. ”

"The foreman said that you should try your craft again, and I hope you can show all your talents."

Try your hand at craft? The Japanese man looked confused.

The workbench, the hammer, the ruler, the clip, are all set.

The stamping machine can only complete seventy percent of the fasteners, and the most difficult post-molding still needs manual work, especially to make the angle of the fasteners just right, and not to let the original screws or rivets go out of shape.

Each craftsman has his own set of techniques, and there is no restriction on what hammer must be used in the workshop.

The craftsmen of Datang also communicate privately, and in addition to their personal habits, they are also learning from each other.

The craftsman had been working here for two days and had seen how to make the fastener.

In his mind, he thought that this was an opportunity, and if he could do his job, the punishment might be reduced. Tie your clothes tightly with rope and tie a few loops of rope around your arms as well. This is what he learned from the Datang craftsmen, so that it can be easier to exert force.

Most of the blacksmiths were bald, because they were afraid that their hair would be burned by the fire.

Nine hammers, one fastener molding.

Nine hammers is the standard number of hammers in this workshop, the worst is ten hammers, and the most clever eight hammers. This skilled foreman can do it with seven hammers, but he is a fourth-class blacksmith, so naturally he can't compare with these ordinary blacksmiths.

After measuring the angle and measuring the size again, the technical supervisor nodded with satisfaction: "Excellent!" ”

"What then?" The steward who knew the Japanese language asked.

"!" The technical supervisor clenched his fist vigorously: "Tell this product, before the evening, he will make three hundred excellent ones, and I will reward him with two crystal cups, plus two taels of green tea." He's paid......"

This salary made the two foremen hesitate a little.

After discussing it for a while, the two of them made up their minds.

"Listen, if you are in charge of the work, make three hundred of them by night. Then you can build 500 of them every day. After your salary, you can get the same 300 yuan a month. And if you finish 300 today, you can be rewarded with two of those crystal cups. ”

What does it mean to be 300 texts, but the Japanese people don't understand.

"The kind of rice you have at home." The plumber who knew the Japanese language still calculated in his heart, afraid of miscalculation, and asked the foreman who was skilled in management, and then said: "It is to give your family every month, just like the 200 bags you moved before you came out!" ”

The man was so dizzy that he almost fell to the ground.

200 packs a month, he understands this, even if he eats white rice every day, the whole village can feed him.

The eight best blacksmiths were selected from the Japanese people to go to the main platform, and the Datang blacksmiths on the main platform were transferred to the impact pressure, and the impact pressure was not at full power, just because there were too few craftsmen, not because the power of the machine was not enough.

In order to be afraid of the Japanese people making trouble, the foreman who knew the Japanese language took out a very refined small book.

"This is called the craftsman level. It's the level of being a craftsman.,If you want to earn a thousand bags of rice a month.,There's a chance to get this book in the future.,It's definitely possible.。 This book, with a gold-inlaid cover, can earn 10,000 packs a month, or even tens of thousands of packs of rice! ”

There's no way, the Japanese don't understand the value of Datang copper coins.

But they understand that the bag of rice was moved home by themselves, so they naturally know the way.

There was a lot of laughter in the workshop, and there was a Japanese craftsman who was singing the song of his hometown when he was striking iron, but his subordinates did not stop at all, and he was really happy to think that he could earn five bags of rice today.

At the end of the work, the man who broke the glass created 337 qualified products, which can be said to be a lot of effort. The right arm is already shaking a little, which is a sign of overexertion.

Two crystal cups were placed in front of him.

The Tang people really counted when they spoke, there was no punishment, and they really rewarded two cups.

With both hands, he respectfully handed one of the cups to the owner of the broken cup, and then bowed deeply. The language barrier made the blacksmith stunned for a moment in terms of attitude, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and wrapped the shoulders of the Japanese craftsman: "Interesting guy, please drink." ”

There is no need for language on the wine table, and the spirits of Datang are easy to get drunk.

Wu Cao naturally has all the information in her hands, but she doesn't have time to look at it, because the people from the Security Department of the Tang Empire have already found the place that the cabinet master is looking for, the cabinet master, as the identity of the Tang Dynasty Emperor, the strength of the Tang Empire Security Department, it is really not difficult to find anything, this time to go south, it can be said that the cabinet master is here for that thing.

A month later, a special train drove into Chang'an.

Forty carriages, each squeezed more than 300 people, it can be said that it is much more crowded than the Spring Festival transportation in later generations.

Almost 14,000 people were the first batch of slave laborers from Wadao to enter the Qinling Mountains, and they got off the train at Chang'an Station.

Chang'an Station has two stations, one is at Jinghe Wharf in the north and the other is at Chang'an County Chamber of Commerce Street in the south. Because they wanted to enter the Qinling Mountains, it was strange that these widows were sent to the South Railway Station.

Chamber of Commerce Street is no longer bustling, but should be luxurious, and it has the main store of the top stores in the whole of Chang'an. Whether it is the decoration of the store or the goods in it, it represents the pinnacle of Datang's business.

For the Tang people, it is ...... who come up and down this special train, beggars!

Li Yuanxing wouldn't even ask the question of this special train, it was too small, too small to be worth listening to.

However, Wu Yuanqing's father and son came with a gold-inlaid scroll, and there was also a handwritten letter from Wu Cao, so Li Yuanxing couldn't be missing. What's more, the samurai family is still the founding father, and this status is not low.

The guests sat down, Wu Shitong and Li Yuanxing said a few polite words, but Wu Yuanqing came out to report first.

"Your Highness, if you don't consider the problem of the bridge, the road from Xuzhou to Yizhou can be repaired within three months. There are a few things to report to Your Highness! ”

Wu Yuanqing's performance made Wu Shitong very satisfied, this is the performance of a mature man, and he has finally grown up.

"Your Highness, there are also excellent people among the Japanese craftsmen. Japanese slave laborers can press, but craftsmen can't. The last general thinks that please give His Highness a chance to take the exam, as long as there is a chance, it doesn't matter whether you can pass the exam or not. (To be continued......)
