Of course Li Yuanjia doesn't understand carpentry or anything like that.
In his two lifetimes combined, he had never done any carpentry work on his own. In his previous life, when he was a child, his family hired someone to build a sofa, and he once watched the carpenters do the work for a few days.
But in those few days, Li Yuanjia saw the tools used by carpenters.
That's why he was a little surprised when he saw the tools used by carpenters, because these tools were so different from what he had seen in his previous life, and they didn't look very efficient.
For example, he knew that carpenters use planes to flatten wood instead of files, and he also knew that when dealing with large wood, the bow-like saw is more laborious and can only be used by one person, but the other person can use it.
An I-shaped saw can be pulled by two people at the same time, which should greatly improve efficiency.
So after frowning, Li Yuanjia asked: "Chen Mu, how long will it take for them to do it?"
"Go back to your Majesty, at least three hours."
After thinking for a while, Chen Mu replied: "There are many parts to overturn the car. Even if more than a dozen of them work together, it will take at least three hours to complete it."
When he said these words, Chen Mu felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
The dozen or so people in front of them are the most skilled carpenters among a hundred carpenters. Even so, it would take them at least three hours to complete a rollover. And before Li Yuanjia came over, Chen Mu had already secretly
We have tried it, and even if a hundred carpenters work at full capacity, and still use the method taught by the King, they can only build eight overturned cars in one day! And this speed cannot last long, because they cannot do this every day.
Work hard!
Under normal circumstances, five stations a day is definitely ok.
But three hundred units a month, how is that possible?!
But he didn't dare to say these words yet, because he had mentioned it to the king once before, but Li Yuanjia told him impatiently that there was no need to doubt it, just do it!
"Well……"
After listening to Chen Mu's words, Li Yuanjia nodded slowly.
Building an original assembly line is actually not too complicated, but it is definitely not easy for Chen Mu and Wang Pu. Because Li Yuanjia requires not only that the assembly line can operate, but also that it must maintain the highest efficiency possible. Therefore
It is necessary to figure out the manufacturing time of each part of the rollover, and then carefully allocate and group according to the number of carpenters, and finally complete the production and assembly of all parts!
But now, Li Yuanjia suddenly found that he had overlooked a problem.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools!
All along, what he thought was to improve productivity through scientific overall arrangements, division of labor and cooperation, so that the carpenters could focus on making a rollover part, and finally assemble it in a unified manner. However, he ignored the problem of the tools used by carpenters in this era!
Just these things in front of me...
"Tsk, can it be faster?"
After secretly shaking his head, Li Yuanjia stood up from the chair: "Let them do it first, Chen Mu, come out with me."
Li Yuanjia didn't want to affect the speed of these people's work, so he simply called Chen Mu out.
He followed the king out with a confused look on his face. Before Chen Mu could guess the purpose of calling him out, Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows and said: "I happen to have time these days, so I have to stay here...Chen Mu, you and I
Let’s make some carpenter’s tools together!”
"yes?"
First he nodded in agreement out of habit, and then Chen Mu raised his head in shock and was stunned.
"Ah what? Didn't you understand?"
Frowning, Li Yuanjia said impatiently: "Go, find a blacksmith and let's start working on it today!"
He has made up his mind to make a plane and a saw that can be used by two people, but Li Yuanjia has no idea at this time and is quite irritable. Because although he vaguely remembers the general appearance of the plane and the frame saw, he can also roughly deduce it.
Their working principle is not well understood, but the specific details are unclear. Whether they can be copied perfectly is still unclear.
but……
When the panicked Chen Mu hurriedly went to find the blacksmith, Li Yuanjia narrowed his eyes and said, "Huh, I've been hanging out with these people for three days. If you don't believe me, I won't be able to do it!"
After all, they are just hand tools.
Now that I know the principle, and there are so many skilled craftsmen at my disposal, if I still can't make it in three days...
If they can't do it in three days, let them study it for three years!
Anyway, our Prince Han’s Mansion has plenty of people and money, and Li Yuanjia also has plenty of time! Even a curved shaft plow and a turning cart can be built, so there’s no reason why a plane and a frame saw can’t do it, right?
Looking at Li Yuanjia with a gloomy face, Wang Pu, who had been waiting beside him, felt helpless and nervous.
This king of my own family really reminds me of him every time he comes out.
We were obviously here to see how the carpenters made an overturned car, but suddenly they asked us to make a few tools, which was really frustrating. You must know that the person in front of you was a prince of the Tang Dynasty and a nobleman of the emperor. When had he ever been a carpenter?
Got a job? I’ve never done anything, how do I know which tool works better?
But looking at the king's face, Wang Pu never dared to say another word.
"That's right, Wang Pu!"
Just when Wang Pu could only stand in a daze, waiting for Chen Mu to come back, he suddenly heard the king say: "I remember that last time Chen Mu and the others were able to make another kind of water wheel, which is what I call a barrel wheel.
,Right?"
Wang Pu immediately remembered that thing and nodded immediately: "Yes, Your Majesty, they made a small barrel cart."
Nodding, Li Yuanjia then asked: "Later, I asked them to make a big one that can be placed in the river. Did you do it?"
Li Yuanjia has seen the model and it does work, but the important thing is the real thing!
"Back to your Majesty, more than half of it has been done!"
Nodding, Wang Pu quickly said: "It should be ready by next month at the latest. And I have already found a location by the river, and told Chen Mu and the others that once it is ready, it will be ready immediately.
Go up."
"Well, very good!"
After listening to Wang Pu's words, Li Yuanjia nodded with great satisfaction.
Compared with the rollover car which has a relatively simple structure and is not too big in size, the barrel car is indeed much more complicated. Even if Chen Mu and the others have mastered the manufacturing method, it is not simple to enlarge it to the appearance in Li Yuanjia's impression.
.
But once you do the first one, it will definitely be much easier to do the next one.
While the two were talking, Chen Mu hurried over with a blacksmith in his thirties. After bowing, Chen Mu asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what kind of tools do you want to make?"
"Well... let's make a plane and a saw first!"
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanjia smiled slightly and said: "To put it simply, one is to allow you to use the flat wood better, and the other is to allow you to saw the wood faster..."
