When the bell rang for the first time, many people had gathered at the gate of United Steel.

Money will be deducted for being late, and the penalty will be increased for cumulative tardiness.

The gatekeepers are the boy scouts from the school, these teenagers and girls are notoriously unrecognizable—they are at an age when they are physically separated from their families, and they are eager to follow their idols in a different path than their parents—they are unsympathetic.

The crowd quietly lined up on a first-come, first-served basis, and this was the first thing they had to learn when they entered the factory: no fighting, no discipline.

Some people think that solving all problems with fists is a sign of masculinity, Luo Yi thinks that it is a sign of orangutan spirit - if fighting is considered manly, then 99% of men are not as good as female orangutans, because female orangutans fight once a day, and 99% of men do not have movies with their neighbors and relatives every day.

Therefore, the first thing that workers hired by United Steel learned after entering the factory was to queue up.

Queue up for work, queue for meals, queue for work......

Even if your stomach growls with hunger and you have fragrant noodles in front of you, you must not cut the line.

The person who cut the queue will be immediately picked out by the scouts on guard and dragged to "labor reform" until he learns to obey.

If he can't learn to obey, he will be expelled, and he will basically never find any decent work in Brad's territory in the future.

After learning to obey, there will be young teachers who will teach them some of the most basic reading and writing.

** and the Western Han Dynasty are engaged in universal education for low-level soldiers, Luo Yi believes that this is not an accidental coincidence, it is difficult for soldiers to understand and implement tactical arrangements if they don't know how to read, Qi Jiguang lamented that the fools who were left behind by the smart military households went to the imperial examination and did not understand the battle formation, and they either fled or died when they encountered the enemy, and the soldiers who did not know how to read were also easily deceived by the commander into private soldiers - well, all she educated were illiterate people who only recognized Chinese did not understand the holy book......

It will be easier for the workers to manage when they know how to read, after all, it is much easier for them to read the regulations themselves than to repeat them over and over again.

After recognizing words, it is time to learn the basic operating norms.

Each process, even something as simple as wielding a catalpa shovel, is drawn step by step into a pattern for the workers to learn, they practice wielding the catalpa in rows, next to each worker are two managers, one counts the second, and one analyzes the irregularities in the action.

Luo Yi found in old Frank that the efficiency of a thin worker with standard movements is far better than that of a strong and powerful worker who makes many ineffective movements.

So, what if the movements of the strong workers were also standardized?

She found it definitely worth setting aside some time and training for her managers.

Strict discipline, study, and management had achieved incredible results, and those who came from no more than vagrants, serfs, and slaves were now able to line up in a timely manner, as solemn as an army ready to go.

This is exactly the effect that Luo Yi is pursuing.

In the future, it will be better to levy from these highly trained people than those farmers who worry about their land day and night that they should plow, harvest and weed, at least they do not have the concept of cultivated land leave, and as far as Luo Yi knows, during the Liberation War, many people gave themselves "cultivated land leave" and deserted......

She had long wanted to raise such a team, but it wasn't until she bought the position of Bishop of Turnest that she had the possibility of making a big splash.

It wasn't the first day Duke had seen such a team line silently lined up, but he still felt incredible, so many people! He silently watched the team move until it was his turn.

"Documents!"

"Here." He took out a card and handed it over, with three lines written on it: "Duke of United Iron and Steel Chief Engineer with gray hair and blue eyes, medium stature."

The guard boy on duty looked at the card carefully, then looked up at Duke, checked the person and the card correctly, thanked him, and signaled that he could enter the factory.

Duke nodded to him and walked through the small door, hearing a crisp child's voice behind him: "Next, papers!" ”

He continued to walk forward, and the high wall in front of him read "Idlers in the central factory are exempted" and "Safety in production and safety first"

United Steel employs a total of 200 people, and only about 20 are eligible to enter the central plant, which is surrounded by high walls.

Duke was one of them, the chief engineer, who was checked again at the entrance to the wall, and after entering the high wall, he walked through a wide field with wagons carrying charcoal rumbling past the blast furnace ahead.

"How's it going today?" When he greeted the master on duty, the bell for the second time rang just in time.

"Hey, the big guy is still so energetic."

"Then I'll be relieved." As he said this, he carefully checked the condition of the blast furnace, this six-meter-high big guy and the furnace they used to burn slag were not of the same order of magnitude, the whole was made of refractory bricks fired from clay mixed with quartz sand, using a "heat exchanger" preheating blast device, and the top was installed with a ceramic waste heat air pipe with an elbow to the slug, which could raise the furnace temperature to 1200 degrees Celsius, with limestone as the solvent, there were five charcoal kilns that provided fuel alone, and the daily iron production could reach hundreds of kilograms.

China's unique blast furnace is different from the block smelting furnace that all countries in the world have, the latter can also be operated simply, it is very convenient to fire a small amount of wrought iron, and the blast furnace can not be easily stopped once it is used, the huge output is a double-edged sword, when the steel industry is sluggish, there was a factory director who described "driving an Audi to the sea every day" even then can not stop the furnace, a shutdown is a loss of tens of millions, so, there are not enough customers, playing the blast furnace is to burn money.

And now, Luo Yi is finally able to spread her cast iron products to the entire diocese of Tournest.
