Seeing everyone's nervous looks, Hu Changan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What do you think of Young Master Ben?" Young master, I am not one of those black-hearted landlords outside, forcing my workers to work day and night. ”

"This method can improve the efficiency of your soap making, and you can make more soap in the same time."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but wonder even more.

Is there any room for improvement in this efficiency?

Everyone is a journeyman, and their hands and feet are already fast, does the young master want them to grow three heads and six arms?

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Hu Changan smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if you have ever thought about splitting the entire soap-making process into several special processes, and then completing them by special people?" ”

"This method is called the assembly line production method, and as the name suggests, it is like a flowing water, quickly and efficiently completing the production task."

"Taking soap making as an example, soap making is roughly divided into four stages: making lye, concentrating alkaline water, stirring with lard, and cooling the mold."

"Among them, a strainer is needed to make lye, and a concentrated lye requires firewood, and if a person is in charge of all the work, he definitely needs to take the strainer out of the warehouse and put it back in, and then go to burn firewood."

"But if a person is only responsible for concentrating the lye, then he doesn't need to think about the filter at all, he just needs to concentrate on burning wood, which can save a lot of time."

"Moreover, the division of labor can also greatly save the cost of craftsman training, and more people can be involved in soap production in a short period of time."

"If one person is in charge of all the work, then he has to spend a lot of energy and master all the details of all the processes, which will take at least a year or two, and we can't afford to wait."

"But if a person is only responsible for a simple task, such as making lye water, it may only take a few months for him to master the skill and be ready to work."

"In a short period of time, a large number of people will be able to put into work, and naturally more soap will be produced."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but applaud.

How could they not have thought of this method before?

With the young master's magic method, they will definitely be able to produce more soap!

Seeing that the craftsmen looked eager to try, eager to put into production immediately, Hu Changan couldn't help laughing.

It looks like there will be more silver and worship points coming in!

Hu Changan struck while the iron was hot, and ordered Steward Chen to call more than a dozen subordinates who had been purchased a few days ago, and instructed Zhou Zhou: "This is the subordinate I newly summoned into the mansion a few days ago, and I will hand it over to you in the future." On Monday, you should train them well, and follow my method, and strive to build the assembly line in a month. ”

"Yes, young master." Monday was suddenly excited.

Follow the young master, this day is really getting better and better! No, the little leaders have all become them.

After hearing this, the rest of the craftsmen were also eager to try, and they all wanted to perform well in front of the newcomers.

In order to further improve the morale of the craftsmen, Hu Changan sacrificed a secret weapon: "On Monday, I don't know how your wages are paid?" ”

Monday leaned over and said gratefully: "Back to the young master, our wages are paid once a month, and there are five taels of silver every month, which is much higher than the craftsmen outside!" ”

Yes, in order to prevent the leakage of technology, Hu Changan made two preparations.

On the one hand, the people involved in the soap making are all Hufu domestic servants, and they have a deed of sale in their hands, so they don't worry about their disloyalty.

On the other hand, Hu Changan's salary to the craftsmen was quite generous.

Five taels of silver per person per day, they can catch up with the Beijing officials!

This salary is much higher than that of the craftsmen outside.

It's no wonder that this group of craftsmen is willing to work like chickens.

After listening to Monday's reply, Hu Changan also smiled slightly, and then said, "I wonder if you still want to get more wages?" ”

When the craftsmen heard this, they suddenly breathed shortly.

Originally, five taels of silver was already greatly beyond their expectations, but they didn't expect that the current salary could be higher?!

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and everyone is old and young.

With money, children and wives can live a good life, and the dining table at home can be richer, and these craftsmen are naturally 10,000 happy.

Seeing everyone's excited looks, Hu Changan continued: "In the future, as long as you come to work every day, you can get three taels of silver." For each piece of soap made, you can get an extra 1 penny. ”

Everyone pinched their fingers and was immediately elated.

Although the salary on the surface is less, but counting the bounty for each bar of soap, it is a lot more!

At the current rate, ten people produce 3,000 pieces of soap a day, which translates to 300 pieces of soap a day for one person, which is 300 yuan.

Don't look at these 300 coins don't seem to be much, but it's a full 9,000 copper coins in a month, that is, nine taels of silver!

At the current rate, each person has nearly twelve taels of silver per month, and if this is speeded up according to the young master's method, wouldn't it be more silver!

Everyone was red with excitement, and hurriedly expressed their loyalty to Hu Changan one after another.

"The young master cares about us, we must live up to the young master's trust and concentrate on making soap."

"The young master is such a good owner, he is simply our reborn parents! I am what the young master says! ”

"Young master, rest assured, we will firmly control the production method of this soap and never spread it."

Hu Changan saw the excited appearance of the craftsmen, and nodded with satisfaction.

As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and if you want the horse to run, you must give enough forage.

Of course, appropriate spurs are also indispensable.

Hu Changan coughed lightly, interrupting everyone's fiery atmosphere, and said: "You work hard, young master, I will naturally not treat you badly, and the monthly silver is indispensable for you." ”

"But if anyone is found out by me secretly selling this secret recipe for soap making to others, not only will the entire family of the person concerned be used as official slaves, but everyone else will also be demoted to the lowest level of the Hu Mansion and will never be able to turn over."

Oh!

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

Slaves, that's really terrible.

The women enter the Qinglou, and the men work as coolies, and they can't turn over for generations, which is simply miserable.

It is also uncomfortable to be demoted to the lowest level of the house.

As a craftsman, at least you can have a skill, and you can still be somewhat respected.

But once you become a handyman, then there is nothing!

Not only is the money gone, but the social status has also plummeted, and all kinds of chores such as sweeping the floor and picking up manure have to be done.

Everyone was frightened, and hurriedly expressed their determination to Hu Changan.

At the same time, everyone also secretly resolved in their hearts that they must supervise each other well, and don't let others be sober and do bad things to affect themselves.
