Hong Fan was not only satisfied with the results of the two Golden Magnetic Gate high-footed cattle knife tests, but even pleasantly surprised.

And Deng and Sun are also immersed in the happiness of the sudden increase in the performance of the barrel.

Among the dozen or so people present, only Qian Hong's face was not clear.

He gave Hong Fan a look.

The two of them went out of the house and walked to a quiet place to talk.

"Second Shao, how many years are these two people you hired?"

Qian Hong didn't say half a nonsense, and asked straight to the point.

"Two hundred and fifty taels of silver a year."

Hong Fan replied.

Qian Hong nodded.

This is similar to what he guessed - the price of Xijing is not as good as that of Jinhai, and the Golden Magnetic Gate is also considered a large quantity, and the price charged by the martial artist is already discounted for the sake of Hong Fan's fame.

But it's still too expensive.

"Er Shao, with the help of the people of Jincimen, I estimate that the speed of making guns in the industry can be five times faster."

The chief treasurer of the enlightened bank began to settle accounts.

"The current arquebus is eight dollars of silver, and the finer ones are no more than one or two or five dollars, if the metal parts are handed over to the warriors to do, I estimate that the sixteen people in the current line may be able to produce close to four hundred pieces a year."

Qian Hong said in his heart.

"But the annual salary of these two people alone will cost five hundred taels."

"Counting the salaries and materials of the rest of the craftsmen, the cost of a flintlock pistol must be more than two taels."

"A horned bow is three dollars and five dollars, and a big crossbow is only one dollar, even if the cost of arrows is higher than gunpowder and projectiles, this account is not easy to calculate - you must know that this price is one percent more expensive, and it is difficult to promote!"

He was full of worry.

"Second Shao, that was the first one just now, and there is a second."

"When I was in Jinhai, I was arrogant and arrogant, and I could see that Zeng Rao and the others were contemptuous and resistant to work."

"Martial artists are always like this, and they regard everything outside the martial arts as inferior; It's just that you don't have money now, and because of your prestige, you succumbed to it. ”

"If they get the money, I'm afraid they won't have a long heart!"

Qian Hong said earnestly.

As the head of the company, he has far more to think about than the two masters.

After Hong Fan listened, his first reaction was to be down-to-earth.

Although Qian Hong is not as far away as a traverser, he can already say that he knows everything.

As he said, advanced never means everything.

Survival in the present always takes precedence over the future.

"I agree with what you say, but don't worry."

Hong Fan replied.

"First of all, I'll settle the human thing."

"I'll go to Cao Hanhai these days; The Golden Magnetic Gate has been passed down for many generations, and there should be many people who just want to make money when the martial arts come to an end. ”

"You try to pick those who are physically sick or disabled, followed by the old, family warriors - what we want is not combat effectiveness."

For getting the golden magnetic gate, Hong Fan showed great confidence.

In fact, the martial arts of Iron Hand is only the bottom of the second grade, and even the head of the Golden Magnetic Sect is only one level of Yuan Magnetic.

With Hong Fan's current prestige energy, he is enough to be regarded as a guest.

"As for the cost, you don't have to worry, I have my own plans."

Hong Fan's words are chiseled.

Moments later, everyone gathered again in the main hall.

They watched as the proprietor took out two copies of the transcribed paperwork.

It's not about technology, it's about institutions.

The first is titled "Tolerance Systems and Interchangeable Parts".

"I just submitted this article to Zhuang Gong, the supervisor of the instrument a few days ago, and I didn't want to operate in the Enlightened Bank - because of the lack of processing capacity."

Hong Fan Lang said.

"But today's performance of Brother Zeng and Brother Rao has removed this concern from me......"

The article is well written and easy to understand, defining concepts such as tolerance zones, standard tolerances, elastic fits, and so on.

Among them, the degree of fit is divided into three types according to tightness: gap fit, interference fit, and transition fit.

Under the author's own explanation, several craftsmen easily understood the theme of Hong Fan, and then suddenly had an epiphany.

"Our firearms unit in Zhanzhou has craftsmen who are responsible for repairing and maintaining equipment at any time."

Deng Pohai pressed the table and talked about the past.

"When the Sea Clan landed four years ago, my emergency repair position was set up in the rear of the position."

"Once, three muskets were sent in front of me, and the first one had a broken trigger, the second one had a broken clip, and the third one had a broken barrel, and I had to repair them one after the other."

"If they all follow the owner's system, these three guns can be dismantled and replaced on the position, and only one needs to be returned......"

He let out a long sigh.

"That's not all!"

Sun Pingbo was even more excited.

"The Zhanzhou musket is a workshop with a set of projectile molds."

"On the battlefield, bullets are not interchangeable, and soldiers also need to carry steel files, and even use portable molds to melt lead blocks to make bullets."

"If there is such a rule, there will be no more......"

After the crowd cooled down a little, Hong Fan continued to introduce the second article.

The name is simple, only three big characters.

"Assembly Line".

The content of this article is getting simpler, with few numbers, to the effect that everyone is only responsible for a few or even one part of the designation.

The more subdivided the process becomes, the easier it is to train apprentices and the more efficient it will be.

The two articles before and after are put together, which complement each other and the system is harmonious.

Qian Hong swallowed his saliva, and he couldn't get out of shock for a long time.

He also heard from his colleagues yesterday that Zhuang Gong had not slept for three days and three nights, and was studying a new system, saying that it would allow the production capacity of the state department to exceed three times that of Hezhou, which is of similar size.

At that time, he only thought it was a strange news, but now that he thinks about it, it must be Hong Fan's set of things.

And the old craftsmen are even more poor in words.

Only the two monks of the Golden Magnetic Gate were confused - they were from an average background, and they didn't even know too many words.

"I may not be right in these two articles, but I won't be in the wrong direction."

Hong Fan and the voice.

"Master Sun, you first set up the shelves according to what I said, and we will solve the problems one by one."

A year ago, he would have enjoyed impressing others with his knowledge.

But now Hong Fan is used to it.

Sun Pingbo responded again and again.

The two heroic essays that were suddenly smashed, coupled with the various transcendences of the flintlock pistol over the arquebus, had made this stubborn old craftsman respect Hong Fan like a god.

On the other side, Deng Pohai was a little lonely.

"If this is done according to the proprietor, the firm will naturally be good."

"But in the future, I'm afraid that the workshop will be full of apprentices, and it will be difficult to produce masters......"

He had mixed tastes on his face.

"Master Deng is too worried!"

Hong Fan laughed when he heard this.

"When there is an assembly line and the business scales, Kaimingxing will inevitably have a R&D department independent of production."

"Once the firearms are installed and the frontline experience continues to be passed back, it is all the more necessary to make improvements according to local conditions."

"This matter, like martial arts, has no end."

"The current flintlock pistol only has the power of penetrating the realm, but how do we know that the firearms of a thousand years later will not be able to catch up with the Martial Saint Heavenly Man?"

[Martial Saint Heavenly Man, how is it possible? 】

This was Deng Pohai's first reaction.

But he couldn't say it after all.

Once upon a time, he thought that Zhanzhou's firearms had reached the limit of manpower.

However, the young and excessively arrogant in the list in front of him easily completely subverted everything that countless gunsmiths believed in.

Deng Pohai gasped heavily, and stopped talking.

But the few back molars in the old man's mouth, which had long been loose and unbearable, were unconsciously clenched tightly.

PS: It's more likely that it will have to last a week.

The outline is progressing daily, but the current progress may only be six or seven percent.

When the outline is all ready, it should be able to change for a while.
