Reactionary forces gather in Banshee Castle, while Cold Wind City is efficiently transforming society and preparing for war.
After arriving, Inisha formally issued an appointment letter to Wilson, the deputy city lord in charge of manufacturing. The former craftsman president was stunned for a long time when he received the appointment letter, feeling that being the deputy city lord for Zhou Qingfeng was different from what he had imagined.
The former deputy city leader Lehman had power and could do whatever he wanted without any pressure or responsibility. The current deputy city leader Wilson has business to do, and he has to meet and report every week. If he doesn't do well, he will be scolded.
There are several similar deputy city lords. For example, Justen is also the deputy city lord in charge of city sanitation and disease prevention, Mondino is also the deputy city lord in charge of education and wizard training, and the old knight Nasser is also the deputy city lord in charge of army construction.
"Such a deputy city lord is not aristocratic at all." Wilson thought to himself. He couldn't tell whether he should be satisfied or disappointed. He didn't even dare to reveal his thoughts. All he could do was work hard.
Zhou Qingfeng wanted to transfer all manpower and material resources to the war system, and Inisa had to break down his orders into specific tasks. She had never been exposed to similar matters in Lieyan Village, and it was only possible to proceed with Sophia's constant reference to her.
Since there is a war, transportation is a must. There is a carriage shop in the east of the city, which was originally the property of the Lehman family. There are four or five carpenters in the shop, plus a dozen apprentices, specializing in the production and maintenance of carriages.
On the first day he took office, Wilson received a task from Inisha to confirm the number of craftsmen in the city, types of personnel, number of tools, and manufacturing capabilities as soon as possible. The next step was to strengthen production and maintenance.
In Zhou Qingfeng's view, this is a natural planning and management, but in Wilson's view, it is very unusual, "The aristocratic masters in the past would never issue such specific mission goals.
Beat to death."
Wilson must do his work carefully and report specific figures. For example, how many craftsmen were there in the carriage shop, their names, their ages, and their skill levels.
He also appointed specialized personnel to manage the manufacturing of transportation vehicles, just like assigning specialized personnel to produce tables, chairs and furniture, specialized personnel to be responsible for transportation logistics, and specialized personnel to handle contact records. Such a detailed division of labor had never existed in the past.
All craftsmen were not adaptable to such a change. They were used to working alone from beginning to end. Wilson also vaguely expressed to Inisha that this kind of management was not in line with tradition, but was yelled back.
It is also inconsistent with tradition for the chief craftsman to serve as deputy city lord.
This sentence is enough. There is no need to say anything. Wilson doesn't dare to complain anymore. The most he can do is arrest the other craftsmen under him and yell at them. It's not traditional to feed you, but it is quite traditional to starve you to death.
The carriage house has expanded its area by more than ten times, and its manpower has also increased by more than ten times. When there are more people, better management, good running-in, and reasonable rules and regulations are needed.
None of these existed in the past, and Zhou Qingfeng could not copy the system from the real world. Wilson had to build it bit by bit according to the actual situation in the other world. For this reason, he was exhausted to death every day and felt dizzy.
"Working for Monsignor Hugo is harder than working for a noble lord." Wilson secretly complained. "The advantage is that you don't get beaten or scolded, the wages are sufficient, and there are rations of daily necessities to ensure that the whole family will not go hungry. And
"
Thinking of the difference in his current life, Wilson would think of the so-called Fourth District that had just been moved to the city. It was a department directly under the management of Zhou Qingfeng. After Inisha arrived in Cold Wind City, she was the first batch to begin relocating the personnel and equipment of these key institutions.
Wilson was responsible for a lot of settlement and acceptance work. He could see that the people in District 4 were also craftsmen, and most of them were carpenters. However, these carpenters were taciturn and the equipment they used was different. They were pulled by horse-drawn carriages and were not available to outsiders.
look.
District 4 has its own territory, but they occasionally send people to train Wilson and other manufacturing craftsmen, or hand over some special tools.
For example, with a specialized woodworking planer, the processing efficiency is a hundred times higher than that of manual work, and the quality is more guaranteed. Another example is the replacement of measuring tools that were originally made by different craftsmen and could not be connected to unified measuring tools in one fell swoop.
Changes always trigger discussions and resistance, and Wilson suppressed them all. However, he mentioned the current ideological status of the craftsmen at the first Cold Wind City weekly work meeting, but this time he was contradicted by Uncle Zhou.
"A craftsman who is unwilling to adapt to technological innovation and progress is not a good craftsman."
Hey, shut up completely. If you don't shut up, don't ever open your mouth again.
When Wilson returned to his manufacturing department, he held a meeting to unify his thoughts, scolded the craftsmen for their disorganized habits, and asked them to correct the wrong idea of working alone and learn how to become a nail in teamwork.
Traditional craftsmen are passed down from father to son, with master-apprentice education. A family does the same work for generations, rarely communicates with the outside world, and technological progress is extremely slow.
In the past, carriages and the like were durable goods for nobles, but they were consumables in war. Now that Zhou Qingfeng was going to war, and it was a matter of life and death, how could he have time to wait for his subordinates to use their craftsmanship to quickly build something for me?
make.
If the secrets of the Fourth District were not leaked, Zhou Qingfeng would have thrown all the craftsmen from Cold Wind City into the Fourth District to rebuild them.
The craftsmen in the fourth area are all direct descendants of Zhou Qingfeng who was fostered and trained in the Black Forest. After half a year of continuous iteration, the woodworking lathe they built has been updated to the second generation, and it is no longer as bad as playing the huqin.
Wilson still doesn't know the situation in District 4, but he has already seen that in this mysterious department's powerful carriage manufacturing, axles and spokes are a difficult point. Basically, every vehicle is built differently, and hand-made construction is extremely slow.
But just by unifying the rules of all craftsmen, a lot of trouble will be saved. At least the things everyone builds will be roughly the same. Just because the parts can be interchanged, an apprentice can now do the work that an old carpenter could do in the past.
.
In the past, nobles required carriages to be beautiful in appearance and luxuriously decorated. Now that there is a new city lord, the aesthetics have changed. I don’t want beauty, just practicality. Build it for me as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, and don’t talk nonsense about the rest.
Except for the appearance, Uncle Zhou has many requirements for other aspects of the carriage. In the past, carriages used wooden axles, but now they use iron axles. The wooden axle will creak when it carries 200 kilograms, but the iron axle will still run very fast when it carries 500 kilograms.
.
The forged iron axles have little wear and require little maintenance. The only drawback is that they are expensive. However, the Black Forest Forge shipped hundreds of iron axes at one go, which was enough for the carriage shop in Cold Wind City to replace several of the original ones in the city.
Ten vehicles will be modified first.
The modified carriage was immediately pulled out by Zhou Qingfeng to fight with others.
