Chapter 63: The Workshop

Wood is a material that is very particular about it, and it can easily achieve sky-high prices. Pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention what tree to specify how many years of wood, is a lacquer, in history Song Huizong rebuilt the Luoyang Palace, the ancient tombs around Luoyang can be dug almost all over, just to have enough ashes to adjust the gray paint.

But if you don't pay attention to it, it's very cheap. For example, to make farm tools in rural areas, jujube wood and pear wood are already excellent, elm and locust wood are also good materials, and even varnish is saved, how cheap it is.

The main purpose of Xu Ping's horse-drawn carts and donkey carts was not to sell them for money, but to provide the states and counties of Jingxi Road with a large number of cheap enough means of transportation to support the necessary transportation of large quantities of goods in the next year. Therefore, the wood used here is very cheap, except for the key components, all of which are common elm, locust wood, willow wood, etc., which are common in the countryside, and the cheapest wood is used to find all suitable miscellaneous wood. Of course, the mulberry wood and oak wood on Jingxi Road are also good timber, and there are quite a few of them, but they must be used for silkworm raising, just as the official cannot eat beef publicly, and these timbers cannot be used unless they are used for armaments. The processing is only a simple steaming, and the key places are soaked in bile alum water at the end, and the general parts are directly made into finished products.

Looking at the finished vehicles parked on the avenue outside, all of them were yellow and white, and they didn't even have varnish, Yang Xue secretly shook his head in his heart. Xu Ducao is also too unparticular, how many people are willing to buy such a car?

When I entered the workshop, I found that this room was very large and long, and it was basically a finished board car at the back.

Xu Ping spent a lot of time in the factory in his previous life, so he naturally used the concept of the assembly line in the current field affairs, although there was no power of oil and coal in this era, and it was necessary to discount a lot, and the whole workshop still had an assembly line pattern.

As soon as they arrived at the workshop, the officials who were watching hurriedly came over to salute.

Xu Ping said: "You hand over the errand to others in advance and accompany us for a walk." If there is anything that Deputy Envoy Yang is not clear, you can tell me about it. Also, he instructed the foremen to do things as usual, and not to lose their proportions. ”

The official promised to go according to Xu Ping's arrangement.

The management here is still the same as the new field affairs of Kaifeng Mansion, and the dual-track system is implemented. Most of the officials in charge were sent by the Yamen of the Transit Envoy Division, and most of them came from the Third Division, and some of them were recruited and trained locally. The officials are responsible for the daily logistics and procurement and other miscellaneous affairs, of course, they are also in charge of the accounts, and the daily production management is the responsibility of the foremen at all levels.

Foremen and craftsmen were recruited from society, in the parlance of this era, and were hired. The biggest difference between them and the public officials is that they do not have an establishment, and they receive the wages of the field service, not the salary. Their work is not as stable as that of public officials, but the remuneration they receive is more flexible, and they can pay bounties when their business is good, including various subsidies that can be paid at the discretion of the field manager. Therefore, in these field affairs, the income of the foreman is generally higher than that of the public officials, and many of them are also higher than the supervisors.

This dual-track system was a common form of use in government-run industrial and commercial institutions in this era, whether it was liquor and store work in the city, or mines and salt farms in remote areas. It's just that relatively speaking, the institutions located in the city are relatively strict and fair, and the remote salt mine supervisors have great authority, and once they collude with the public officials, they will oppress the craftsmen who do the work very harshly.

For government-owned enterprises, this management model is relatively reasonable, Xu Ping did not change, but only tried to strengthen supervision. It's still the same old problem, and the three divisions must have a very strong review ability to manage these well.

The official took over the errand and came back to resume his life.

Xu Ping said to Yang Xue and Chong Shiheng: "Let's go to the other side of this house and start from the beginning. ”

A few people walked along the side of the road until they walked to the end of the workshop. Xu Ping said to Chong Shiheng: "In these places of work, there are rules for who walks from, how to walk empty-handed, and how to walk with things. You see, the ground is all lined, and you can't make a mistake in a single step, and we walk in the line because this is the way for people to walk. ”

Chong Shiheng looked left and right, and sure enough, he found that the huge room was divided into areas by color, and each area had its own function, and it was not chaotic at all.

After looking at it, Chong Shiheng exclaimed: "Du Cao is really a person who has led soldiers, and this business is like a military camp, and there are rules for what to do." Xia Guan also read the art of war when he was a child, and he was no stranger to these. ”

"That's right, managing field affairs is really similar to managing the army, the most important thing is to follow the rules. There are clear rules for what should be done, what should not be done, and how to do what should be done. You have read the art of war best, and you will treat the field affairs as a military camp, just change the rules of the army to the rules of the field affairs. ”

The factory was originally semi-military management, and in Xu Ping's previous life, there was only a difference in degree, and there was no laissez-faire. Moreover, the more formalized the factory, the higher the degree of militarization, and the discipline is also on par with military discipline. Well-trained workers are the best soldiers, because they are accustomed to militarized management, and their sense of discipline and obedience is much stronger than that of the peasants.

At this time, a large number of official barracks used the box army, which is also a reflection of this point. Although compared with the forbidden army, the Xiang army is not a combat unit and military discipline is not strict, but in the end it has been trained to implement militarized management and is relatively suitable for large-scale cooperation.

Everything is now in order in the newly opened field because the victims are grateful for this new opportunity and have the morale boost of last winter. As for the future, when this kind of life is taken for granted, what will happen to the mentality, Xu Ping can't control it. Gratitude can not be eaten, enthusiasm will always fade, slowly consumed by the firewood, rice, oil and salt in life, the management of field affairs must be completed by the perfect system and qualified management personnel.

Whether it is a qualified worker or a qualified manager, it is not an overnight achievement and requires time to precipitate. All Xu Ping did was to point out the direction, don't go astray, he can't manage all aspects.

Walking and talking along the way, I unconsciously reached the end of this huge workshop.

This is a centralized machining area for vehicle parts, where almost all parts are done. Only then did Yang Xue and Chong Shiheng discover that the special feature of this new field was completely different from the artisan workshops they had seen before. Although the workmanship is the most ordinary craftsman of this era, the simplest materials of this era are used, and the tools are also common tools, the production method embodies the wisdom of thousands of years. In fact, there are not many carpenters in the real sense here.
