Ke Chenshu's plan was already considered polite. At least when the Ke brothers talked about this, there was also a worry for Chen Kai. Among those who were interested in watching jokes, the Shanxi people who Chen Kai claimed to have been changed to Guizhou by them, and they were also donkeys from Guizhou, not people, which was just in line with the saying "The donkey tricks were in poverty"!

In this regard, Chen Kai, who went out early and returned late every day, was limited to the side room in the side courtyard of the General Town Government and the military tool workshop, knew nothing. In fact, even if he knew, he would not care about these sarcastic words - if he wanted to do things, if he was still afraid of others' words, then he would just do nothing more worry-free. Because in this world, those who only speak sour words are destined to achieve nothing, and the same is true for the heart when he heard sour words.

One day on the first day of May, plus the evening overtime work, a total of 15 gun tips were produced. Including the 9 on April 28th, there are still 686 long guns left to complete the task. This is what needs to be completed in the next 43 days, to be precise, it should be 39 days, because the four-day break is still aside.

"It's still a long way to go."

Chen Kai sighed, but with this sigh, his eyes became deeper, and the originally faint decline disappeared without a trace.

"Whether success or failure depends on what happened today!"

According to Chen Kai's order, the craftsmen could be half an hour late on the morning of the second day of May. However, most of these craftsmen were not only not late, but rushed over early.

"Join the army, I discussed it yesterday. Come early every day and reduce lunch time. I won't work overtime until yesterday at night."

Xun Xiu's temptation, especially the changes that Chen Kai brought to them after he came here, made them willing to put in more effort and time to ensure Chen Kai's status, because Chen Kai's status was guaranteed, and their welfare benefits that were originally deserved can be guaranteed.

The first time he met his subordinate who took the initiative to work overtime, Chen Kai couldn't help but tremble. These days, he gave these craftsmen some preferential treatment within his ability with the attitude of giving, and he even used it as a means. However, these simple and kind people not only rewarded him with silent obedience to overtime, but also with active repayment at this moment. Why worry about the big thing not being done if you win this person's heart?!

Chen Kai took a deep breath and replied with a sigh: "I have recorded your kindness. However, overtime affects work efficiency, and it is not worth the effort with twice the effort. I decided that if it is not for special circumstances, I will not work overtime again."

"But, if you join the army, if you don't work overtime, will you not be able to complete the task assigned by the Master of Guo?" Tang Quanyou said carefully: "The villain is thinking that if you make more, maybe the Master of Guo..."

"Maybe the master of Guo's surname would not blame me for exaggerating and let me continue to manage this military weapon workshop?"

He raised his hand and interrupted Tang Quanyou's words more and more whispered. Chen Kai smiled and said, "I have understood your efforts and your intentions. As for the tasks assigned by the Master of the State, you don't need to worry. I have already had good plans. After observing these days, I have more confidence and can solve this dilemma!"

From 9 to 12, the output has been increased once. The craftsmen originally planned to use the method of compressing time to increase the output to 15. Unexpectedly, Chen Kai was not only unwilling to let them continue to work overtime, but also had to achieve a leap of 18 gun heads a day based on the 12 no overtime work. This really made some people present think that the joiner was so anxious that he was so angry that he was confused.

However, after saying a crazy talk, Chen Kai's confidence was overwhelming on his face, which infected everyone present, so that their most pessimistic ones began to look forward to Chen Kai's so-called good strategy. Next, Chen Kai ordered two of the group Tang Quanyou and another group of blacksmiths, and then asked the two of them: "Can you polish and sharpen them?"

"Report to join the army, the villain will."

After confirming that the two of them agreed to the request, he turned to the master of the blacksmith group of two groups, including Tang Quanyou, and asked: "Then you wait for four people, will you be affected if you don't have them?"

"Reporting back to joining the army should not have much impact."

"That's good."

After saying that, Chen Kai nodded and announced: "From now on, the Blacksmith Group will be organized into groups of two people in each group. Tang Ming and Yao Antai, who have just been called by this official, are responsible for polishing and cutting. Only when there is nothing to do can you go back and help."

When steel weapons are burned and calcined, the iron or steel on the surface will have chemical phenomena such as oxidation or high carbon content, which will become brittle. The blade is to grind these at the edge of the knife to expose the iron or steel, which will be sharper. The blade is to continue to grind to a very sharp level on this basis.

A long spear is different from a sword. This weapon does not require a sharp edge. As long as the blade is opened, it can easily penetrate the enemy's body and even penetrate the armor. However, even if the step is not opened, if you want to finish a spear head, you still need to forge, polish and blade.

There are only these eight blacksmiths in the military weapon workshop, three masters and five apprentices. Chen Kai carefully observed the process of making a blacksmith when he came here with Zheng Chenggong to inspect. One master can do it by pairing an apprentice with an apprentice. The existence of the other apprentice is at most a pulling bellows. When the apprentice holding a sledgehammer is tired, it is actually just a bystander, which is undoubtedly a waste. What's more, after each gun tip is completed, two of the three people are idle during the polishing and cutting.

Chen Kai's observation a few days ago made him more sure of this. In his opinion, the combination of work and rest is appropriate, but wasting capacity is unnecessary. His method is to use the method of decomposing processes and division of labor to maximize working time and eliminate this waste!

"Since there is no problem, then start construction."

The gun tips made yesterday have completed the polishing and cutting process. Today, it is said to be a division of labor, but at the beginning the two apprentices responsible for cutting the blade are still helping with their masters and fathers and brothers. The real effect is to be revealed after the first gun tip is forged.

The sound of the iron hammers alternately hitting the iron material quickly rang one after another. The sound of the three groups of blacksmiths intertwined, and the factory area immediately became enthusiastic.

Chen Kai issued an order to divide the work to the blacksmiths and began to issue new production tasks to the carpenter team. Last night, Chen Kai asked to meet Zheng Chenggong when he returned to the general town government. Zheng Chenggong praised Chen Kai's behavior of continuing to add tasks to the military tool workshop - after all, no matter when, the bureaucrats compete for credit and scapegoat, and they don't do things without doing anything. An alien like Chen Kai is worthy of appreciation in any case.

According to Zheng Chenggong's instructions, the carpenter team's wealthy production capacity continued to produce pointed wooden guns, which was used as a supplement to the damage or loss of the iron gun head on the battlefield. It can also be used to temporarily equip the recruits recruited during the attack on Haicheng.

The problem of wood is still needed to be solved by the military tool workshop. Chen Kai has made a carpenter's scheduling plan, and is responsible for making wooden guns and long spears in groups and taking the mailman to cut the wood required to go into the mountain. Chen Kai divided the work for them respectively, but the amount of wood in the warehouse is still enough to consume. It is time to start going to the mountain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Following the blacksmith, the carpenters also began to work. Their first task was to install the last three gun tips made by working overtime yesterday, making them a complete weapon. But in addition to the gun tip and the gun stick, there is another thing that must be installed, that is, the red tassel at the end of the gun.

"What is this red tassel used for?"

"If you go back to join the army, the little man heard from the master that the gun head would spew out a lot of blood. With this thing in it, the blood would not flow down the gun barrel, affecting the soldiers with guns."

Lin Zhengzhong is already a middle-aged man, and his master is probably gray-haired. Chen Kai described the scene during the battle in his mind. Blood splattered on the gun head and flowed down, all of which were absorbed by red tassels, which was indeed as he said. However, as he thought about it, he always felt that the tassel must be red, perhaps implicitly implicit psychological suggestion, and at the same time it was to intimidate the enemy and enhance the courage of his soldiers.

"I see."

Chen Kai nodded and signaled them to continue working. After he walked around the entire workshop, he returned to the office room to continue thinking about what he needed to do.

After a long time, the first gun tip was hammered out on Tang Quanyou's hand. After handing the semi-finished product to his son, the blacksmith and his son-in-law squatted on the small stool next to him, drinking water while relaxing his strength.

When using hammer forging, Tang Quanyou estimated that it was no different from yesterday, but the fatigue level was slightly lower. Thinking about it for a while, it was normal. Yesterday, Chen Kai announced that he would increase his workload, and the frequency of hammer forging was much faster than usual. It was inevitable that he could not adapt very much on the first day. Fortunately, he ate too much at noon, otherwise he would have been exhausted if he was exploited by You Er.

Putting down the water bowl, Tang Quanyou remembered some tips for forging, and started to explain it in a low voice to his son-in-law. As he was talking here, Tang Quanyou was also observing Tang Ming's work.

Since ancient times, there have been various metal utensils that require a sharp edge. Each one has different functions and the blades required are also different. Tang Quan has observed nothing else, but it is Tang Ming's angle of the gun head, because the effect of the blades drawn by different angles must be different.

This is the technical knowledge passed down by blacksmiths, and it is not something that anyone can do with a knife to grind it on the stone. In terms of the blacksmith's understanding of the work, Tang Quanyou is very grateful that his son is not only stronger than his son-in-law, but even learns much faster than his father. It's just that the young man is a little playful, and he will be able to exercise and become more successful in the future.

The angle of the son's blade was correct. In fact, the blade of the gun tip was considered to be of a lower technical level, which was relatively easy. After sitting and looking at it for a while, Tang Quan felt that his strength had slowed down, so he stood up and prepared to continue to forge the next gun tip.

"My father-in-law, I just finished making one, and I'm still rich. Why don't I take a rest for a while?"

Tang Quanyou's son-in-law is also his apprentice. He is very honest and honest. When he never was lazy, Tang Quanyou knew him very well. Then he turned his head and asked, "Are you still tired?"

Hearing this, the son-in-law shook his head. He was young and strong. Although he was swinging a sledgehammer, he could drink a sip of water and slowly continue to work. He was just afraid that Tang Quanyou would be tired when he was working. However, when he saw that his son-in-law said he was not tired, Tang Quanyou simply turned his head and walked straight to the fire and the anvil.

"Then hurry up and work. Joining the army is different from other officials. It can really make us live a good life. Of course, we can't cherish this strength. If we miss it, we will take medicine without regret."
