Regulation is the standard of the industry, and the unified standard is the premise of the healthy development of the entire industry, which Yang Rui knew for a long time, but he had been staring at the fifty-six projects before, and he had not yet remembered this stubble. He didn't think about it, and Xu Huafeng didn't think about it, but now after those international students came back, they put forward a lot of practical reform opinions in view of the current situation of the domestic industry, and unified regulation is one of them.

"It's done, but now most factories use the imperial system, and if you change it to the legal system, there will be more processes, finished products, workers, and even the machine itself to change, which will require a lot of money." Xu Hua said, "Besides, if the Americans don't sell us secret things, Germany and France may not give them to us." ”

"Mr. Huafeng, how many factories are there in the country now?" Yang Rui asked, he remembered that there were very few factories in the country now.

"There are 315 registered, and there are 13,128 in the whole country." Xu Hua said, his expression was gloomy after he finished speaking, and he sighed, "It's really poor and white, such a big country, such a small factory." ”

There are too few factories in the country, among the 315 registered factories, Tianzihao or related to Tianzihao accounts for more than 100, and there are more than 13,000 factories in the country, that is, even the slightly larger tofu workshops are counted [Note: The figures are from the declaration of "China's Industry in the Past Fifty Years" in February 1923, and the number of factories has increased slightly according to the plot; Among these factories, there are less than 500 factories with machinery or boilers (or even water wheels), which is really ashamed compared to the more than 30,000 factories in Japan (of which more than 8,000 have boilers).

Yang Rui has long had statistics on factories across the country. However, he only looked at the number of registered factories, and when he saw that it was three digits, he swept it away. The exact number of factories is known only today. He didn't sigh, and then asked, "Remove the raw silk, the cotton, the flour, the matches, the ceramics...... Anyway, there are factories that have no impact on regulation, such as military industry, machinery, and shipbuilding, how many factories are there? ”

"Less than thirty." Xu Huafeng understood what Yang Rui meant, but he thought that Yang Rui didn't understand what he meant, "It's done." These factories are mainly the factories of the manufacturing bureau that were run by the former Qing Dynasty, and then there are those factories that we run, and the number is small. However, it is the pillar of the country's industry, of which there are 18 companies in the imperial system and 11 companies in the legal system, which is not much difference between seven companies. But the key is those old technicians, old technicians. They're all used to the imperial system. ”

"The difference between seven is not much, as for those workers and engineers, then take the time to train." Yang Rui said, "Mr. Huafeng, please believe me, as far as the international system is concerned in the future, the benefits of reforming the legal system for industry will be better than changing the British system. The country is in ruins, and now we make every decision. will have a long-term impact,"

Yang Ruiyi mentioned the international form shì. Xu Huafeng compromised, he knew that Yang Rui was not as good as himself in the industry, but when it came to judging the international situation, Yang Rui threw him more than eight streets, and he said: "Actually, you are at the helm now, everyone listens to you, I will change the plan when I go back, and the country will use the legal system in the future." ”

"That's good. Regulation is very important, and it is necessary to determine and develop industry as early as possible. Yang Rui nodded, "But we can't just set regulations, the parts, processes, and various standards of each factory must be unified and consistent, so that Hanyang's bolts can also be used in Shanghai, and the screws in Shanghai can also be installed in Hanyang." Simply, the Ministry of Industry should set up a standards committee, write all the standards of a qiē into a document, and then extend it. ”

The discussion of a unit of measurement was raised to the standards committee by Yang Rui, Xu Huafeng was a little stunned, he stood up and stroked his beard and took a few steps in the room, and then said, "Is this just like the soybean grade in the Northeast, the beans from one sorting station are the same as the beans from other sorting stations?" ”

Seeing that Xu Huafeng understood the standards committee so well, Yang Rui smiled, "Mr. Huafeng, this is and is not." In fact, this standards committee is to make factories across the country become factories if necessary. Or to put it this way, now the tractor can only be made in Tonghua, what we want to do is that when the tractor production needs to be expanded, other factories in the country can easily produce tractor parts, and then these parts are all pulled to one place, and the tractor can be quickly assembled. This not only requires the production of the same product of the factory, the regulations are consistent, the process, various standards must also be consistent, and even the parts of different products must also be common, otherwise the parts from all over the country are pulled to one place, either the size is not right, or the quality is not consistent, or the cost is too high, anyway, the tractor cannot be assembled"

"Ahh Xu Huafeng exclaimed, "It's done, you...... How can this be done?! ”

Seeing that he had scared Xu Huafeng, Yang Rui patted his head in embarrassment, thinking about how to explain this thing to Xu Huafeng. In fact, the development of social sciences is complementary to the development of natural sciences, Yang Rui University is about management, and the management science in a hundred years is very different from the current management technology. When the father of scientific management, Frederick. Winslow. When Taylor was still reading the English translation of Yang Rui's Introduction to Management published eight years ago, when Ford was still experimenting with adjusting the assembly line, too advanced management technology would only scare people.

In this era, new sprouts have emerged from social science theories that match large-scale production, and Yang Rui can't wait to bring up the follow-up of large-scale production and flexible production. In the era of large-scale production, because it is a seller's market, you can sell as much as you produce, and competition, especially product differentiation competition, is extremely limited. In this case, a production line can only produce one product, and the production line of the same product can only produce the same kind of products, but the specifications are different, but Yang Rui wants the production line of the same product to produce the same specification of the product, and what is more exaggerated is that he also requires the production line of different products to produce products of the same specification. This is equivalent to not only requiring every chicken to lay the same eggs, but also requiring ducks, geese, and even pigs that can't lay eggs to lay the same eggs, which is no wonder Xu Huafeng is so surprised!

Xu Huafeng was surprised, but Yang Rui was full of energy. In what he has learned. The development of management, as in history, was spiraling, before the advent of Ford's assembly line. Production is a family workshop, a bunch of people around a machine, and after the assembly line appears, it becomes a lot of machines around people, and the production efficiency is improved, but after nearly a hundred years, family workshop production appears again. Among them, the cell-based production of Japanese Canon is the most typical, the assembly line is abandoned, and the model of people surrounding the machine returns again. Is it possible to combine cell-based production. Let China's industrial production take a unique path to improve competitiveness through guò output differentiation? This is exactly what Yang Rui thinks about industry.

To do this, it is necessary to partially achieve flexible production, and to achieve flexible production. Then the grouping technique must be promoted. In order to promote the grouping technology, the classification and coding system for parts must be realized, and the standardized specifications of parts must be formulated. This kind of thing that the U.S. military only began to use in World War II, and it is not too early for China to start promoting it now, and it is very necessary.

It took Yang Rui a long time to make Xu Huafeng understand what is called mass production, what is flexible production, what is group technology, what is classification and coding system, and what is part standardization...... Too....... He must be a genius! ”

Xu Huafeng's praise only made Yang Rui blush, and he said embarrassedly. "Mr. Hua Feng, this ...... I'm not done yet. ”

"Ahh Haven't you finished yet? He was amazed, "I get it all!" ”

"No, Mr. Huafeng." Yang Rui held the text sent by the secretary in his hand, and said embarrassedly, "There is another thing that the Ministry of Industry should pay attention to when making standard planning." He opened the picture in his hand, pointed to the things on it, and said, "This box is called a container, and it will be promoted in the future, so the packaging size of industrial products, the size of the ship's warehouse, the size of the train's carriage, and the construction of the wharf must be considered in advance." Of course, the wharf is the business of the Ministry of Transport, and the Ministry of Industry is only responsible for the packaging size of the product and the size of the cabin car. ”

"Containers?" Xu Huafeng was puzzled, "How big is this box, and is the difficulty used to load the goods?" ”

"It is used to load goods, which can reduce manual handling, speed up logistics, and save capital turnover. The box is about ...... There are several jù here, mainly two kinds of boxes, one for five tons and one for ten tons. The height and width are two hundred and forty-three centimeters, but the length is different, the length of five tons is one hundred and ninety-six centimeters, the length of ten tons is four hundred centimeters, and if there are twenty tons, the length will increase to six hundred and five centimeters. Yang Rui's number jù copied the number of containers when exporting fruits, and in his opinion, since later generations used this size, there is always some reason.

"What is that box made of?" Xu Huafeng asked, he suddenly felt that this matter should be in charge of the transportation department, "If the box can hold ten tons of goods, can the crane at the dock lift it?" And after getting off the train and ship, how to pull it to the factory? Was it towed to the factory by a tractor, and is the horsepower of the tractor enough now? There are also roads, we don't have a few decent roads, and how to pull the boxes back after they are transported, this ......"

Xu Huafeng asked a lot of questions, and Yang Rui said, "There is no problem with ten tons of cranes, even twenty tons can be lifted; When the ship arrives at the port and the train arrives at the station, the rest is the matter of the truck, and there is no problem with the horsepower of the tractor to transport a ten-ton container, the main thing is that the speed is slower, and you can only walk more than ten kilometers in an hour; We can selectively repair the highway and concentrate the factory in the industrial park, just like in Shanghai; And the problem of box transportation, this is not a single company to do these things, but the whole country to do this, the containers of each station and terminal will be uniformly deployed, and we can establish a deployment center at that time to reasonably allocate the capacity and containers in various places. On the part of the Ministry of Industry, when formulating various standards, the size of the container should be taken into account, so that when the container is promoted ten years later, it will not cause a waste of capacity. ”

"I see!" Xu Huafeng nodded and said, "You mean that the factory packs things, not only can they be loaded in, but they also need no more and no less just filled, and this box is placed in the cabin and carriage, just enough to fit, this is what you said about not wasting capacity?" ”

"yes, that's what it means." Yang Rui said, "If you really want to promote container transportation, it will take more than ten years, after all, the size of the current steamship warehouse is strange, the warehouse is low, and the container is estimated to not even be able to enter." It will take more than ten years. It will take more than 20 years to eliminate those old ships, but the old ships are gone, and the dimensions of the new ships must be qualified. In addition, the packaging size of the product must match the size of the container from now on, otherwise the transportation efficiency will be reduced. ”

"I see!" Xu Huafeng said again, he seems to have said more than a dozen I understand today.

"And it's best to keep this matter secret for the time being, and then announce it when the container is really promoted, we have to go ahead of others." Yang Rui finally carefully told him that his plan was to fully realize container transportation in the thirties before World War II, but whether it would really be done from the thirties in the future. Who knows.

Xu Huafeng said again, 'I understand', but he was curious, "It's done." What exactly is this container made of? ”

"It's usually made of steel." Yang Rui replied, "Its practical wood is also fine, but the load-bearing of wood is not good, and the boxes made are heavier than those made of steel." ”

"Use ...... Do steel? Xu Huafeng was stunned. Can it be made out of steel? ”

"Yes!" Yang Rui nodded. Taking out a photograph from this stack of texts, or not a photograph, but just a copy of the photo, "This is the box that I saw Americans use to hold citrus when I was in the United States, and this is made of steel." ”

Xu Huafeng took the picture and looked at it for a moment and nodded, "Americans are still rich, and oranges are packed in iron boxes." ”

Yang Rui was sweated by what he said. Then he hurriedly forked away, "Mr. Hua Feng." More than 300 factories registered in the country...... No, that's too little, so let's invite those factory owners who have boilers or organic qì to come to Beijing. It is not easy for these people to open a factory, we should be rewarded, those who want to be knighted should be knighted, training cannot be saved, and then the public-private partnership must also be started, otherwise it will be too slow for these people to develop on their own. ”

Xu Huafeng had seen the public-private partnership plan, and he said: "What if everyone is not willing to join forces? Actually, you know, some people wish they could be involved with the official adults, but some people are afraid that once the public shares come in, the factory may not be their own. ”

"I'm also worried that they'll take the company's shares." Yang Rui smiled dumbly, "If such a situation happens, we really don't know how to do it, in case impartial law enforcement is misreported as an official stealing people's wealth, then the world will be chaotic again." ”

"Isn't it okay to take out loans? If it is a loan, then these factory owners may have peace of mind. Xu Hua said, he didn't understand why Yang Rui had to engage in public-private partnerships, "We send money to these people for no reason, it will only make them feel uneasy." ”

"I want to take out a loan too, but how much can these people borrow?" Yang Rui smiled bitterly, "There are only more than 300 old people, except for those who actually have no operating ability, I am afraid that there are not even 200 who can meet the requirements of public-private partnerships. Militarily speaking, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, and the same is true for shopping malls, you need to find a qualified entrepreneur...... The big shopkeeper is also extremely difficult. ”

"But don't we have a business school? There is also the shopkeeper training plan," Xu Huafeng didn't understand Yang Rui's consideration, "We have also built model factories in all walks of life, as long as people are not stupid, they will go to school for two years, stay in the factory for one year, and come out to be shopkeepers one by one." ”

The shopkeeper plan is an industrial plan that began to be implemented in the Northeast, at that time it was mainly to promote the oil mills, and now the shopkeepers of more than 70 oil mills in the Northeast are trained in this way, and now the country wants to revitalize the industry, Xu Huafeng wants to expand this plan and let it involve all industries.

"Mr. Hua Feng, the boss was forced out." Yang Rui said melancholy, "Managers can be trained, but the big shopkeeper can't be trained, after all, what school learns is only skills, but the character suitable for business cannot be cultivated, and many things were decided when I was a child; And these people can have today's achievements, not only because they dare to fight, but also because they have good luck. In many cases, skills are the least important, and the right business personality and habits are slightly more important, but luck is the most important. These people have treasures in them, and if they take out loans, they can't give full play to their abilities, and public-private partnerships, expand their companies tenfold or even hundredfold in a few years, so that these people's abilities can be fully utilized. ”

"You're making them rich." Xu Hua sealed. "Aren't you afraid that the factory will expand so much, they can't manage it?"

"That's where business school graduates come in." Yang Rui said, "Although the graduates who came out of the school can't be at the helm, they can definitely do a good job as a boatswain and chief engineer." With these people, the company will expand no matter how big it is. It can also be completely controlled, and these big shopkeepers also have to be trained, they have luck and talent. Then train them in complete skills, plus a whole bunch of qualified boatswain, chief engineers, and the like, and the ship will not be afraid to go to sea. When these people get rich, the state also benefits, after all, the state has shares in it, and at the same time it can collect taxes. In doing so, it can be regarded as almost perfect. We can't rather be with foreigners than with our families, right? ”

"Well, it's done. I understand. Xu Hua said, "Set up a standards committee, convene factory owners from all over the country to come to Beijing for meetings and training, and promote public-private partnerships." I'll do these big things when I go back! What else do you have to explain here? ”

"There's a lot to explain." Yang Rui said with a smile. "I can't remember it for a while. Anyway, there are a lot of things, so I can only focus on the main work, and the rest of the things can only be to bother Mr. Huafeng. ”

"How dare you say that you are tired," Xu Huafeng said with a smile, "I have been dreaming about this day for a long time." However, there is a shortage of money on the industrial side, is there any news in the United States that I can borrow money? ”

"There's no news from the U.S. side yet." Yang Rui said, being interrupted by Xu Huafeng, he suddenly wanted to say it, but he forgot it for a while. It was only after Xu Huafeng left that he remembered that he didn't say anything about the real room.

The real yàn room was established in Shanghai eight years ago. Now the scale has become extremely large, and the number of people handed over by Wang Jitong over there, there are now more than 2,000 people in the real yàn room under the World Revival Association, not including the foreigners hired from outside, if you add the foreigners, it will be more than 3,000 people. In order to cope with the large-scale sealing, the Ministry of Rites added barons and viscounts to the original three titles of duke, marquis and earl in the Ming Dynasty, and added scholars, which can divide more meritorious people from the state. It's just that the privileges of these titles are very small, and more of a fame.

"Who else are you going to see next?" Yang Rui finished thinking about the room and title, and asked his new secretary Li Zilong.

"Prime Minister, it's already off work, don't see anyone, and there is no urgency in the telegrams coming from everywhere, you can read it again tomorrow morning." Li Zilong said, "But the ministry sent a few sets of official uniforms, and there is also a letter that says that you want to see it in person." ”

"Oh." Yang Rui thought of Chen Guangshou's official uniform and job description, "Then let's put it first, what about the official uniform?" ”

"When you were talking to Mr. Hua Feng just now, the official uniform happened to be seen by the second lady, and now the second lady has led her into the inner house......" Li Zilong said, although Han Xianfeng has not yet passed the door, but the house calls her already the second lady.

"Then you can get off work too." Yang Rui said, and after speaking, he walked out of the house and went to the inner house.

The emperor is looking for the former Ming clan, and the natural official uniform also has the shadow of the Ming Dynasty, when Yang Rui entered the inner house and saw the official uniform, Han Xianfeng and Cheng Ying were watching, and they got along very well, not at all like the fighting appearance in the court drama. Seeing one of them in an official uniform and the other wearing an official hat, Yang Rui coughed from a distance, and when the two saw him coming, they were busy screaming. After screaming, he said that he wanted to see the child go back to the room, leaving Han Xianfeng standing there with an official uniform.

"Not bad! Some are good-looking. Yang Rui looked at Han Xianfeng and said, "Hey, how can there be so many, isn't it just a set, how can there be a women's hat, is it the wrong one?" ”

Yang Rui was surprised that one set of clothes had become several sets of clothes, and Han Xianfeng explained, "Yipin's official clothes include court clothes, official clothes, sacrificial clothes, and official clothes, and the hat belongs to my sister, and the wife not only has a hat, but also has several sets of clothes." She fumbled with her clothes as she spoke, and she could see that she was very envious of these clothes, but no matter how envious she was, she was just a concubine, and the clothes were not shared.

Yang Rui didn't understand the woman's thoughts, after seeing the red official uniform, he picked up a black gauze hat again, flicked the puffs on both sides, and said, "This can't be copied from the official uniforms of the Song Dynasty, how can this hat have such a long puff?" Then he picked up a belt and found that it was actually made of jade, so he sighed, "How much does this person's official uniform cost?" I'm afraid I won't be able to get off the stage without a few hundred taels. ”

Han Xianfeng was sad in her heart, but she still smiled in the face of Yang Rui, she picked up a black gauze hat and said, "This is called hat wings, it is said that the emperor is afraid that the ministers of the court will turn their heads and ears, so they are loaded with thin iron bars, once someone's hat wings are broken or bent, then they will have to hit the board." ”

"Oh, I see." Yang Rui finally understood why the hats of the officials of the Song Dynasty had such long horns. He looked at the hat for a moment, then looked at the clothes, and said, "The clothes are very good-looking, but the hat is not good, so you have to change it!" To change! (To be continued......)
