When Zhu Yuanzhang followed Li Jin into the assembly line factory, the whole person was completely stunned.

I saw countless workers methodically, along a conveyor belt, concentrating on the work in hand.

These workers look serious and quickly remove the unfinished parts from the conveyor belt and process them.

After processing, the finished parts on the ship are placed on the conveyor belt and handed over to others for further processing.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a general look, there are hundreds of such assembly lines in this wide factory.

But this can't be helped, after all, there are too many parts to make a ship.

Li Jin uses the assembly line for processing and production, so he can only build more assembly lines, so that each batch of people can be proficient in the production of a part.

Zhu Yuanzhang silently looked at the countless workers in front of him, but there was no sound of conversation, and he couldn't help but feel that everything in front of him seemed a little familiar.

After thinking for a long time, suddenly Zhu Yuanzhang had a flash of inspiration and thought of the answer:

Chicken farm?!!

Yes, why is this assembly line made by Li Jin so familiar with the chicken farm he saw at the beginning?

"Li Jin, you are raising people as chickens, they don't have any freedom here, and they work for you like this every day."

"There are no days and nights, no freedom, and no one to speak, do you still have humanity in doing this?"

"After a long time, they will become numb and become unenergetic, which is the same principle as your chicken farm."

Zhu Yuanzhang just thought about it for a while, compared the two models, and found that the so-called chicken farm and assembly line are exactly the same.

One is to use chickens to produce valence, and the other is to use people, but the people here are of the same nature as the chickens in the chicken farm, and there is no essential difference.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's reminder, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao also suddenly woke up.

After careful observation, their originally surprised expressions suddenly became a little ugly.

After all, managing people like animals is really unacceptable to them.

Li Jin couldn't help but have a headache when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang shouting again, this old Huang always made trouble for himself.

"Lao Huang, you should pay attention to what you say, when will the official treat these people as if they were beasts."

"Beware of me suing you for slander!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said:

"You still dare to quibble, just with this conveyor belt, it is exactly the same as a chicken farm, how do you explain it?"

Li Jin was suddenly a little confused, can this thing still look like this?

However, Li Jin did not panic, and asked directly:

"Lao Huang, do you know what these people are?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said:

"You think we don't know? These are all craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, and you have borrowed them here to work for you for free. ”

"You still treat them like this, your heart is so dark!"

"You don't respect people at all, you treat these people like animals!"

"Nonsense! Who said these people were craftsmen in the Ministry of Works? ”

Li Jin retorted directly and said:

"They weren't artisans at all, and they never lost their dignity and lived like animals."

"These people are all disaster victims, people from all over the world who came to Shanghu County."

"It was the official who gave them a decent job so that they could support their families."

"It was the official who gave them a full meal so that they could fill their stomachs."

"It was the official who gave them shelter so that they could no longer be exposed to the wind and rain."

"Don't you see that these people are all smiling, or all full of desire for life?"

"Their attitude towards work already shows that they like this job."

"If it weren't for me, if it weren't for this shipyard, they would have starved to death in the wilderness, exposed to the wilderness, and eaten by wild dogs."

"Now, do you still think that the official is exploiting them, or treating them like animals?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Li Jin's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief:

"It's impossible, let's see that each of them is skillful, and in the process of making parts, there is no jerky at all." ”

"This means that they are a group of skilled craftsmen, not the victims of the disaster, as you say."

"You're trying to fool us? Are you still far from it? ”

Li Jin saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had never seen the world, and suddenly said a little angrily:

"If you were asked to make these parts hundreds of times a day, you would be like him."

"Haven't you heard that practice makes perfect, and water drops wear stones?"

"These people are just making the simplest parts, there is no difficulty, just a few days of study, a few days of practice, you can do it well."

"Really difficult or more delicate parts, there will be special craftsmen in the production."

After listening to Li Jin's answer, Zhu Biao was a little confused and asked:

"What's the use of that?"

"After such parts are manufactured, they still have to be assembled one by one."

"Why not put one person in charge of one ship, so that so many people can produce more ships every day?"

李進 says:

"They're just a bunch of disaster victims, do you really think they're master craftsmen?"

"Even if you want to complete the production of a ship by yourself, I am afraid that it will take a year or even more to complete the production of a ship by yourself."

"The reason why we use this assembly line method is to be able to speed up shipbuilding."

"The workers on this assembly line are doing repetitive tasks every day, and the differences are constantly changing, so that their efficiency will be greatly improved."

"This kind of repetitive work can also be done by the victims, so that the number of craftsmen used can be reduced."

"Put the craftsman in the most critical position, such as assembly, or more delicate or large parts like the rudder."

"Using this assembly line working mode, the speed of shipbuilding has been at least doubled, or even more."

"So in the future, in Shanghu County, there will only be more and more factories with this kind of assembly line."

"Don't compare that chicken farm with this model, the chicken farm just borrows from this model."

"The two can't be confused, and Lao Huang shouldn't slander me indiscriminately, I'm a good official who loves the people like a son."

"If you don't believe it, you just pull an employee in a factory and ask them, and they'll all say that."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't get used to Li Jin's snort, snorted lightly, and ignored Li Jin.

But after Queen Ma heard Li Jin's explanation, she was very happy and said:

"How many ships have been built in our shipyard now?"

"Have you sold it?"

"Eighteen ships have now been built, and all of them have been sold to the Royal Chamber of Commerce."

Li Jin replied:

"The Royal Chamber of Commerce is ready to send someone to receive it and practice on the water."

"If the exercise passes, a large amount of ship orders will arrive at our shipyard, and when that happens, we will send it!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had some doubts and asked:

"Aren't you a shareholder of the Royal Chamber of Commerce?"

"You order a ship here, and you still need the Royal Chamber of Commerce to pay for it?"
