The most important thing in an eyewear factory is skilled workers.
It was impossible for Gu Qingling to train so many skilled workers in a short period of time, so she adopted the old method - mass production.
Split the production of glasses into several different workshops, each workshop is responsible for different links. Then each workshop does not need to master all the technologies. They only need to repeatedly familiarize themselves with the technology of their current link and strive to become "skilled workers" as soon as possible.
, that’s no problem.
The glasses were made by Master Chai from the craftsman workshop. Gu Qingling asked Master Chai to drop what he was doing and help her get the production equipment for the glasses factory first, and then help her train some workers.
Gu Qingling knew that the capital city was not as good as Jinling, and it was not a place where she could answer every call. So from the beginning, she asked Li Wenchong to buy a group of servants, and also selected a few experienced workers from the dowry team and asked them to be responsible for taking care of them.
Team.
Before the glasses factory is repaired, the glasses production factory already has a group of "employees".
This group of workers was arranged by Gu Qingling in Li Wenchong's village in the capital. After Master Chai took over the equipment work for the glasses production factory, he moved in with a group of apprentices and assistants.
Soon, a month passed and the training began to bear fruit.
Master Chai finally got the equipment for glasses production.
When Gu Qingling received the news, she was very surprised and quickly informed Li Wenchong, and the two of them headed to the suburbs together.
"Boss, look, this is the yd0019 number I designed, it..." Balabala, Master Chai is just a series of introductions.
Some of them were understood by Gu Qingling, while some were beyond the scope of Gu Qingling's major and could not be understood at all.
But even so, when she saw Master Chai's excited look, she didn't hit him. Instead, she nodded with a smile and said "hmm" from time to time.
After Master Chai finished the introduction, he smiled and praised him for doing a good job. Unexpectedly, he had made such a big invention in such a short period of time. It was not bad, so she asked him for credit.
Master Chai smiled: "Boss, this is not due to me alone, but mainly to the good cooperation of everyone. Moreover, we have made breakthroughs in gear technology before, which can be used in glasses production equipment..."
Another bunch of professional predicates.
Li Wenchong didn't understand anything else, but he understood one thing - that is, with this equipment, the daily output of glasses can be doubled several times.
In the past, the production of glasses had to start with making glass, and glass making requires extremely high heat, material ratio, and worker proficiency, otherwise it would be easy to produce "waste glass".
Although waste glass can also be made into utensils and sold to low-income people, glasses are different and require extremely high glass production processes.
If the requirements are high, labor costs will be high and daily output will be low.
After all, not everyone has such technology.
But it is different now. Now that Master Chai has designed this kind of production equipment, many tedious, repetitive and low-tech steps can be saved and left to the equipment and ordinary workers.
For the next parts that are more demanding and may require manual polishing, you can arrange for those with better eyesight to pick out "qualified" products and hand them over to professional masters for polishing.
Those that are unqualified can be used to make other things.
In this way, this kind of glasses polishing master can save a lot of time and focus on one thing.
As he concentrates, his production skills will be further improved.
If other apprentices want to learn, it will become much easier - after all, it is much easier to repeat one thing over and over again than to repeat several things over and over again. This is a bit like the story of the oil seller.
Isn't the reason why the oil seller was able to pour oil into such a small hole just because he practiced pouring oil every day?
When you practice to a certain level, it becomes magical.
After Master Chai finished the introduction, he called the steward over and asked the steward to arrange for someone to try it on Gu Qingling and Li Wenchong.
Master Chai only cares about technology and does not care about other aspects, leaving everything to Manager Yin.
Guanshi Yin was Gu Qingling's old man, and he was particularly good at training employees. When Gu Qingling came to Beijing this time, in addition to technicians like Master Chai, he also brought along personnel management talents like Guanshi Yin.
Sure enough, Manager Yin arranged the people in a short while.
Gu Qingling and Li Wenchong followed Master Yin through the process and found that, as Master Chai said, after using the equipment, the manufacturing process of glasses became much simpler.
Li Wenchong was surprised and shocked. He seemed to understand why Gu Qingling was so interested in craftsmen.
This is just for producing glasses, if you put them on other things...
For example, the steel filling method, the production of weapons, etc., then, wouldn't it be possible to improve the production process and efficiency to a higher level?
When Li Wenchong raised this idea to Gu Qingling while avoiding others, Gu Qingling laughed: "You just discovered it?"
"So, this is why you value craftsmen so much?"
Gu Qingling nodded: "This is just an eyewear factory, one by one, but if these things are extended to all walks of life, if all walks of life have such craftsmen studying and improving craftsmanship and efficiency, then you can imagine, in a few years,
What will that industry look like in more than ten years or decades? Let’s not go into detail, just look at the real estate industry. Has the technological innovation of Lou Qing’s signature house construction shop changed everything?
People’s living environment?”
Li Wenchong recalled the impact that the emergence of cement had on the construction industry and other related industries.
The impact is naturally huge. Cement makes construction costs lower, so more people will live in new houses.
After all, compared to wood, sand and stone are more rare and stronger, and can last for a long time.
In addition, the most obvious thing is probably the change of roads.
In the past, to build long roads, we needed to dig mountains and fill rocks to find all kinds of suitable stones. Especially for the main roads in and near the capital, I don't know how much effort was spent on those stones.
The manpower, financial resources, time, and various costs are almost astronomical when calculated together.
But it's different with cement. Especially Lou Qing also developed a special type of "No. 9 cement" for road construction. The roads built are stronger and more durable. Even if an eight-horse carriage drags heavy objects, it will not
No traces will be left.
Therefore, on some main roads used for running goods, No. 9 cement from the Golden Signature House Construction Shop is generally used.
The emergence of No. 9 cement saves not only human and financial costs, but also time costs.
It originally took several years to build the road, but thanks to cement, it can be completed in just half a year.
Emperor Mingguang has planned to implement the cementation plan for the capital within three years and the cementation plan for the major cities of the Ming Dynasty within five years, striving to allow the people all over the world to enjoy the blessings brought by cement roads within ten years.
When the roads become easier to travel, it will be convenient not only for businessmen and ordinary people, but also for the post stations where government orders can be passed up and down, and news from all directions can be converged in Beijing.
Especially during war times, messages can be transmitted more quickly to facilitate the central government's decision-making.
