Chapter 54: A Little Try

Azul has never been assigned and taught, but he has shown his talent in the art of using power, which is not surprising in Xiao Shi's opinion, and the inheritance of his father and family history must exist in the dark. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Asoule, you have shown such a talent for understanding everything, and you are happy for your teacher and comfort for your ancestors. Finally, I would like to tell you that in the art of using power, we should pay special attention to the principle that 'the extreme of things must be opposed'. Xiao Shi said slowly.

"Master, do you mean to say that there are still things that shouldn't be used in the art of using power, or that can't be used to the extreme?" Azule thought for a moment, not knowing if what he said was right, and asked.

"The main thing is that you can't use it to the extreme. First, this is a simple and crude way, which has always been done by kings with a bad reputation; second, this will have a counterproductive effect, and often this will weaken the people's will, reduce their prestige, and even provoke rebellion; third, it is not impossible to use it occasionally, but it must be grasped well, and it must be remedied by gentle means; fourth, it is necessary to gradually grasp the goal of combining grace and power, and when establishing prestige, it can be used appropriately, but it cannot be done absolutely. Xiao Shi thought about it and explained it comprehensively and in detail.

"Master, I don't necessarily understand, but I will definitely keep thinking about it, try it from small to big, please rest assured. Azul replied after saluting.

"Asur, among the three techniques, you have to keep practicing and tempering. If you encounter any doubts or problems in the application of this technique, you can ask the teacher. The technique is learning, and it is more useful. This sword casting workshop will be of great use to our future development, I will give you seven days, this is also a learning task, you ponder it, see what problems are in the operation and management here, and what can be improved and improved. "Xiao Shi has always been a vigorous and resolute person, and he finished teaching in one go, and also assigned learning tasks.

In the next two days, everyone found that Azule no longer learned from his master, and liked to wander around the swordsmithing workshop, and he also got into a family relationship with many people.

On the night of the third day, Azule knocked on the door of his master's room. The master was holding a book in his hand, and he ignored him, only looking up to signal that Azul had something to say.

Azule didn't dare to sit down, coughed, and said, "Master, I spent three days, mainly observing and analyzing, and learning about some situations and some people in the process of chatting with everyone. Ask the master for advice. ”

"Say, briefly. Xiao Shi still didn't look up, and said with his hands in his hand.

"About fifteen years ago, the father of the distance led a group of army blacksmiths and old and weak soldiers, about fifty or so people came here from the Beiban, and there was no way to make a living, so the blacksmiths among them took the lead in establishing such a blacksmith shop. More than ten years have passed, some old people have gone, newcomers have voted from the original yuan, and there are also born and raised here, and there are currently more than 100 craftsmen and more than 200 women and children in the sword-casting workshop. This is the basic situation. Azule was still proud, and in just three days, he understood the history of the swordsmithing workshop very clearly.

"To get to the point, I know this better than you do. Xiao Shi still put down the book in his hand, stared at Azule and said.

"The two generations of father and son have no intention of running a business, they just want to bring everyone together to make a living. Therefore, for more than ten years, the scale, technology, and output have basically not increased with the increase of personnel. There are four major problems, one is that there is still assembly-line production, the speed is different, the advantages and disadvantages are different; the second is that the masters check the gates, the process is not progressive, and the young people have no future; the third is that the production area, the living area, and the storage area are mixed together, which has potential safety hazards, and makes production and life inseparable; and the fourth is that no one is responsible for the whole, no one manages, and no one coordinates. Azul told his three days in one breath.

"Do you have any other questions?, and what solution do you have?" Xiao Shi asked with a frown.

"Master, the apprentice only found these problems. As for the solution? I have three points in mind, namely, the separation of production lines, the distribution of patterns, and the separation of functions. Specifically, it is also aimed at the above problems, and the main goal is to straighten out the relationship and become bigger and stronger.

One is the separation of production lines, that is, the division of production lines and the division of labor, which are divided into three types: standard swords, customized swords and developed swords. The standard sword still adopts assembly line operation, but there is no need for the masters to continue casting, just select a group of young people, on the one hand, you can improve your skills, on the other hand, you can also increase the output. Custom swords are generally tailor-made swords according to special requirements, and this should be configured by craftsmen according to the customization situation. The development of sword production lines is also particularly important, the process must be continuously improved, and it is necessary to match elite soldiers and strong generals, especially to select a group of people who dare to change and break through.

The second is the pattern distribution, which mainly separates the living area, production area and warehouse management area. The Sword Forge covers a large area, and at the moment it is only roughly divided between the front and back, in fact, I have planned that the three areas can be rearranged without too much cost. Specifically, it is still configured according to the front and back, but the interior of the living area should also be re-planned; as for the front area, the production area and the warehouse management area are arranged separately from the left and right.

Its three functions are separated, according to the needs of the process department, the guarantee department, the production department, and can be constantly adjusted and improved, respectively, the selection of a positive deputy six responsible persons. The three major responsibilities of the Technology Department are to develop the process, to guide the process, and to supervise the process; the three responsibilities of the Security Department are to keep the warehouse and raw materials, the second is to support and coordinate the production, and the third is to pull the source from the outside world; and the Production Department is in charge of production. Azul spoke of the excitement, and he danced with his hands and hands.

Xiao Shi didn't answer, but picked up the book again in the middle of Azule's speech. Azul sensed that something was wrong, and this was the best he could think of.

"That's all?" Xiao Shi was silent for a long time before he raised his head and asked.

"Master, that's all the apprentice can think of. Azul noticed that the master did not seem to be satisfied, and began to think of more thoughtful measures, and replied in a whisper.

"If this is all this, this time you will not be able to give you a mission. Do you think about what your problem is?" asked Xiao Shi.

Azule was extremely excited and thought he was thoughtful, but he didn't expect the master to give him a basin of cold water, no matter what, he couldn't figure out what the problem was even if he broke his head.

"What I painstakingly taught you is the art of using power, not the art of management, and the difference between the two is thousands of miles. To achieve the goals you mentioned above, a warehouse official can do it, and even craftsmen can do it spontaneously, where do you need to point fingers. Xiao Shi smiled instead, shook his head and said.

Azule was awakened by his master, and his actions were indeed not a technique of using power.

"Think about it, what is the root cause of these situations and problems, and what do the craftsmen need most?" asked Xiao Shi.

Azul shook his head, he couldn't think of it.

"They need a goal, they don't have direction or motivation. Xiao Shi said in a deep voice.

Thinking of the goal and motivation, Azule suddenly flashed in his mind the reason why this swordsmithing workshop appeared, it was originally for a livelihood, and now that the conditions for a livelihood have been achieved, what is the goal of the next step? What kind of secrets are hidden among these people?
