"Your Majesty, it has been a long time to train craftsmen, and before this winter, there won't be much more manpower." Zhao Jiadi thought that Chongzhen wanted to increase manpower, so he casually said his thoughts.

"You're not short of men! I just calculated, plus apprentices, the Arms Bureau can have nearly 3,500 people, but the only ones who can really produce finished products are more than 100 masters. Zhu Youjian said.

Zhao Jiadi nodded yes.

"So, it's not a problem of lack of manpower, it's a problem of division of labor. Everyone should be involved in the production of the finished product. Zhu Youjian said slowly.

Zhao Jiadi was still kneeling on the ground, "Emperor Mingjian, ordinary craftsmen and apprentices, can't do such delicate work, they will only waste materials!" ”

Tang Ruowang also bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, our materials, whether they are bronze or fine iron, are very scarce and cannot be wasted!" ”

Zhu Youjian looked at the worried two, very helpless, "You have to learn all the skills?" ”

"Definitely!" Zhao Jiadi nodded solemnly.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but wonder, "It's too noisy here, let's go, go to the main hall, and I'll tell you more about it when you get to the place." ”

Everyone followed Chongzhen to the main hall, Zhu Youjian sat down, and the others stood in columns.

"The old master just said that there are 4 steps to making a barrel, and there are more steps before and after, right?" Zhu Youjian asked.

Zhao Jiadi said yes.

"It takes a long time for a craftsman to learn all the processes, right?"

"Exactly." Zhao Jiadi nodded again

"So, you can't let the craftsman learn the whole process!"

"If you don't learn, what can you do if you don't learn?" Zhao Jiadi decided that Chongzhen was a layman who did not understand the process of ordnance manufacturing at all.

"Wait a minute." Zhu Youjian cleared his throat, "If everyone only learns one process, can they become proficient quickly?" ”

"That's nature."

"Therefore, according to the time taken by each process, a different number of craftsmen are assigned to learn, each person only learns one process, and in the future, only this one process will be done, and after completion, the semi-finished products will be passed on to the craftsmen of the next process......" Zhu Youjian said very slowly, giving them time to think.

"Ahh Yue Ban clapped his hands.

Zhao Jiadi looked at Yue Ban suspiciously, "Pingtongbo, do you understand?" ”

Zhu Youjian smiled and motioned to Yue Ban to share his opinion.

Yue Ban bowed, "Lord Zhao, I may not know much about arms, so I'll take crossbow arrows as an example." Originally, a person made crossbow arrows, and he had to make arrow feathers, arrow shafts, and arrowheads. ”

Zhao Jiadi nodded.

"But if you divide into four people to do it, one person specializes in arrow feathers, and nothing else; One person specializes in arrow shafts and nothing else, another person specializes in arrowheads, and the last one ......"

"That's right." John Tang was pleasantly surprised, "The last person is specially assembled!" No matter which step you take, you can be the most proficient and learn very quickly! ”

Zhao Jiadi is not a stupid person, and when he heard this, he immediately understood.

The original sense of "master craftsman" no longer exists, only the arrow feather craftsman, the arrow shaft craftsman, the arrow craftsman, the assembly craftsman, each performing its own duties! ”

Zhu Youjian nodded, "Exactly." ”

Zhao Jiadi said: "This method is good, but once there is inferior ordnance, it cannot be held accountable, and the minister is worried that someone will cut corners!" ”

"It's very easy to do." Yue Ban said: "Ordnance does not remember the name of the individual, but the name of the line. People on a line, check each other. The latter process inspects the semi-finished products of the previous process, and the assembly craftsman checks all the parts, and when there is a problem, all the staff sit together. ”

Zhao Jiadi clapped his hands, "Pingtongbo's method is good, it works well, and it may be lower than the defective rate of a single person!" ”

Zhu Youjian watched several people discuss and put his mind at ease.

These people are all professionals, as long as they are given a direction, they can naturally organize the best plan according to the current level of craftsmanship and the ability of craftsmen.

Zhu Youjian was not ready to interfere with this kind of professional operation, so he just watched a few people discuss.

Zhao Jiadi and the others became more and more vigorous, almost forgetting the existence of the emperor, and did not stop until all the details were discussed.

suddenly remembered that Chongzhen was still sitting on it, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt.

"Qing and others are dedicated to the country, what is the crime, since the plan has been designed, let's implement it as soon as possible."

"The Emperor Shengming!" The people bowed down and were convinced.

Zhu Youjian happily accepted the compliment, "Keep your word and hand over the drawings drawn by me to Zhao Jiadi." ”

Tian Shouxin hurriedly took it out in his arms, walked down and handed it over.

Zhao Jiadi took it, and after thanking him, he slowly unfolded.

"It's ......"

Seeing that his face was full of shock, Tang Ruowang and others also came over.

I saw a tall building with four huge fans on it.

"It's ...... Dutch windmills? John Tang exclaimed.

"Father Tang, will you build?" Zhu Youjian was pleasantly surprised.

"I've only seen it, I don't know its inner workings, I can't build it." John Tang replied truthfully.

"It's okay, I've drawn all the structures as detailed as possible, I believe that the Ming craftsmen can build it, Zhao Jiadi, you say yes."

Zhao Jiadi had long heard that the 'Chongzhen Repeater' and other new weapons were painted by the emperor, and he was already shocked, and now he was even more surprised when he saw this magnificent building.

Hearing Chongzhen call his name, he hurriedly replied: "The drawings are drawn everywhere in great detail, and they are clear, and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering will definitely be able to build them!" It's just that I don't know if this building is really as the text on the picture says, has a thousand powers, and is endless? ”

"This is natural, and the next drawing is a hydro car, which can replace manpower, push the blower, and further free up manpower and put it into the assembly line." Zhu Youjian said.

When Zhao Jiadi heard this, he hurriedly unfolded the second drawing, only to see that there were dense parts painted on it, and there were only finished drawings.

In fact, at this time, there were already a lot of water dumpers and high-drum trucks in southern China, but they were all used for irrigation and did not appear much for industry.

Zhu Youjian's painting adds more gears to power more processes.

"O my God, this engineer must be a genius, a grace from the Lord who bestows supreme wisdom!" John Tang exclaimed.

Zhu Youjian smiled, "I painted it, so good?" ”

Tang Ruowang was even more shocked when he heard this, "God is bless Daming!" ”

"I am the Son of Heaven, representing the will of Heaven, your God and our Jade Emperor should be of the same level, it is normal to bless me."

"No, no, no, there are three Qings above the Jade Emperor, God is still on it, he is omniscient and omnipotent!" John Tang said seriously.

Zhu Youjian listened to it and knew that if this matter was discussed, there would be no end to it, so he waved his hand to stop this topic.

He stood up, "Qing and others quickly arrange, the burden of Daming Zhongxing, you must pick it up!" ”

Zhao Jiadi heard Chongzhen say such a high-profile statement, and hurriedly knelt down, shouting and bowing to the fullest.

The industrial sprout is being carried out in Beijing, but the river of blood is flowing in Shanxi.

Azig led 50,000 cavalry, rampant, wanton looting, Datong City, almost became a place of hidden treasure.

And Li Zicheng, who was forced back to Shaanxi, finally broke out bloody after receiving the news that Jianlu had slaughtered the city many times, ordered hundreds of thousands of troops, and slaughtered Shanxi under the slogan of eliminating Hulu.

At this time, Li Guo made a big circle in the Mongolian steppe and climbed over the Great Wall.

He didn't know where Li Zicheng was now, so he had to go all the way south.

When he found that the corpses in the northeastern part of Shanxi were all over the place, connected with the ruins and broken walls of several county towns, he was so frightened that he thought that the officers and soldiers swept past and killed the invading army.

Turning in a panic, he ran towards Shaanxi.
