Yuan Shu had said this, so Tian Feng naturally had no choice but to recruit a few people from the craftsman camp.
"Lord, some master craftsmen are here~"
The craftsman camp has no designated officials and has always been operated under the guidance of several highly respected master craftsmen. Therefore, as long as these master craftsmen are dealt with, his assembly line operations can be promoted and completed.
"Prefect~"
"Sir~"
"Prefect~"
"Master Zhou, Master Jiang, Master Hu, Master Li, Master Wang~ People of the Ming Dynasty don't speak secretly. I have a method to improve production efficiency that I want to implement. I'm here to ask for your opinions."
Several master craftsmen were stunned when they heard Yuan Shu's words. They were already the best in all walks of life. It was not easy to increase production efficiency.
"Sir, please clarify~"
Master Zhou spoke slowly. He was the oldest and most skilled among them, so everyone looked up to him.
"My method is easy to say, but a little difficult to implement."
I still have great respect for Yuan Shu, the great craftsman of Zhou. This old man did not rest for five days and five nights in order to build the divine arm crossbow. Later, he fell ill and had to recuperate for several days before he recovered.
"Sir, if you have anything to say, say it directly~"
Although Zhou Dajiang is older, his temper is not bad at all.
"Okay, let me tell you straight. My method is called assembly line operation, which means that all the processes are like a river, and they will be completed naturally.
This requires a clear division of labor among all walks of life, each performing its own duties. Blacksmiths make iron, tanners make armor, and tailors sew.
Only in this way can we maximize our respective strengths and achieve the purpose of improving production efficiency."
As soon as Yuan Shu's words came out, the faces of several master craftsmen were filled with astonishment. They never expected that he would make such a request.
"Sir, I don't agree~"
Master Zhou frowned and directly rejected Yuan Shu's proposal.
"Why?"
Yuan Shu also frowned.
"Sir, we strive all our lives not only to support our families but also to remember. According to the assembly line operation method you mentioned, wouldn't it mean that all our hard work will be in vain? I don't agree."
"Master Zhou, the world is in turmoil now. If Changshan County wants to protect itself, it can only continue to strengthen its own strength. Only a sharp sword and a strong armor can protect the people under my rule. And you are still thinking about being famous for generations. Is reputation really true?
Is it comparable to human life? Is it comparable to my own descendants? How pedantic~"
Yuan Shu was immediately angry. The troubled times are coming soon. You are still thinking about your own name. This is really annoying.
"Sir, we are just ordinary people, we cannot have the ambitions of the world~"
Master Zhou is still the same.
Seeing Master Zhou's appearance, Yuan Shu's mind turned and a method came to his mind.
"Master Zhou, how about we just let the facts speak for themselves and take a gamble?"
"Sir, how do you want to bet?"
Master Zhou was stunned and asked what kind of medicine the prefect was selling in this gourd.
"How to bet? You are leaders in all walks of life, so let's compare ourselves to iron armor ~ I choose thirty people, you choose thirty people. If I win, you will fully support my assembly line operation. If I
If you lose, how about never mentioning it again?"
"Iron armor? Are you serious about what you say?"
Master Zhou was immediately delighted when he heard that Yuan Shu was competing to make iron-clad armor. He was not bragging, he was the best at making this kind of mid-level armor.
"Of course it's true~"
"Okay, then I will make a bet with you, sir. If we lose, we will fully support your assembly line operation method. If we win by luck, please take back your life."
"Okay~"
Yuan Shu saw Master Zhou curling up his lips, and he smiled inadvertently. If there were three or four people, the effectiveness of the assembly line might not be apparent, but when there are enough people, its power will be apparent.
There is a small square in the center of the craftsman camp, which is now crowded with people, as lively as a market.
"Sir, you take your pick first~These are craftsmen who can make iron armor alone."
Looking at the rows of craftsmen lined up in front of him, Yuan Shu smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Master Zhou, if you want to win I have to win with all your heart. I don't need any of these people. You just need to find me ten blacksmiths, ten cobblers and ten tailors~"
"Okay, since the prefect wants to play, then Zhou Hong, please lead the junior brothers to have a good competition with the adults~"
Yuan Shu's words completely angered Zhou Dajiang, who also had his own pride.
What Yuan Shu has to do is to crush their pride and crush them in the areas they are most proud of. Only in this way can they realize their shortcomings and accept their assembly line operation method wholeheartedly.
Facing thirty elite craftsmen, Yuan Shu was a little cautious. They didn't think they could win against the senior masters opposite them, so they were all tied up.
Seeing this, Yuan Shu couldn't help it, jumped directly inside, and pulled away a blacksmith.
"You are no worse than anyone else. Since you want to become a famous craftsman, you must always believe in yourself~ Just do some of the simplest things, so what's the difficulty?"
The blacksmith's hammer was a piece of cake for Yuan Shu, who had the body of a first-class military general. Although he had never been a blacksmith or hammered iron before, it was said that true gold could be made after a thousand hammerings. He hammered the huge piece of iron into a thin protective heart.
"Look, it's not difficult. I can do it even as a layman. You should believe in yourself."
Seeing Yuan Shu's achievements, a group of blacksmiths looked at each other and said, yes, a layman like the prefect can do it, so what should he be afraid of? Isn't it just losing? It's not like he has never lost before.
"Dang Dang Dang~"
"Dangdang~"
"Dangdangdangdang~"
The sound of the blacksmith's hammering became louder and rhythmic, and it took two hours to complete the ten breast shields.
The goggles are ready, and the leather armor from the tanner is also being made very smoothly. Finally, these two items are all brought together in the third process, the tailor.
A famous tailor flew needles like a shuttle, using hard steel needles and tough hemp threads to connect the breast shields and leather armor together. After another half an hour, the three parties worked together to complete a pair of iron-clad armors.
.
Ten pairs of iron-clad armors were completed in two and a half hours. Although it was the work of thirty people, it was still shocking. On the other hand, at Zhou Hong's place, although they started working on thirty pairs of iron-clad armors at the same time, by the time
We have only just reached the step of making armor now, and there is no time to complete it.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. As time goes by, the output of breast shields and leather armors becomes larger and larger. It takes two hours to make one piece, then one and a half hours, and finally one hour to the end.
This competition lasted from morning to the end of the moon. In six hours, Zhou Hong and the others made thirty pairs of iron-clad armors. Yuan Shu and the others made a total of forty pairs of iron-clad armors, and there were ten more.
