Some things simply cannot be done in a short time.
As far as the production and typesetting of movable type, as well as various minor problems during subsequent printing, Li Zhong and others needed a long time to solve and improve, and there was no need to rush. After all, these are a group of "ancient people from the seventh century AD"
”, and Li Yuanjia basically forced me to do these things. It’s already good to be able to follow his instructions.
In fact, the best way is for Li Yuanjia to personally participate.
Although he has never done any of these things, he has received higher education in his previous life and has also conducted clinical research after working. The knowledge and scientific research thinking accumulated from this are not comparable to anyone in this era. Not to mention that Li Yuanjia also has
With thousands of years of experience as the basis, once added in, the efficiency will inevitably increase dozens of times!
Maybe in a month, all these problems will be solved.
However……
Let’s not talk about whether, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he would get himself into trouble if he really did this, let’s just say that movable type printing is really not worth the investment that Li Yuanjia made.
Otherwise, the movable type printing side took a month, but what about the glass side? Should we stay there for three months?
There will be countless novelty gadgets in the future. Does Li Yuanjia have to do it himself every time? In that case, how many can be done in a year? Can he still write those books?
So Li Zhong was only left with three and a half years before Li Yuanjia left the movable type printing workshop.
The focus right now is to overturn the car!
When he saw Chen Mu again, the head carpenter of Prince Han's Mansion was simply ecstatic and said almost impatiently: "Your Majesty, this plane and the new saw are so useful...especially the plane, which allows us to
It saves a lot of effort and time, and it’s not an exaggeration to call it an artifact!”
"Oh, all right."
Li Yuanjia, who had anticipated the result, was not surprised. He nodded and said calmly: "If the carpenters have one person, how much can the production speed be increased?"
Rough processing of wood is the job of handymen, and carpenters mostly use planes. The fact that this thing can be used for more than a thousand years naturally fully demonstrates its value.
It's natural for Chen Mu to be so excited.
As for the question that Li Yuanjia is most concerned about, Chen Mu also quickly gave the answer: "Returning to the king, with these two things, we can build at least one more rollover car every day! If we work hard now, we can build one more car every month
Build at least one hundred and eighty units... Your Majesty, this is the result of our best efforts."
Normal work requires about 150 machines per month, but with the new tools, we can do 180!
but……
The goal of 300 units is still far away!
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the king looked quite happy, Chen Mu quickly expressed his worries. He now roughly understood what the so-called assembly line meant. Before Li Yuanjia came, he also let the craftsmen try it. Under normal circumstances, one day
That's five units...now there are six units. It's almost a fool's dream to build ten units in one day!
What's more, craftsmen can't rest all year round, right?
"Ok, I know."
Li Yuanjia still had an indifferent expression on his face, seemingly unmoved at all, which disappointed Chen Mu who was full of expectations.
But just when he gritted his teeth and was about to complain again, the king continued: "You can go to the blacksmiths later and ask them to help you build a hundred new sets of tools as soon as possible... But before the new tools arrive,
Let’s officially start work tomorrow!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After swallowing what he was about to say, Chen Mu quickly said yes.
The workshop has been built, and the carpenters sent by the palace are all skilled. They have quickly learned the parts to be made. Isn't the rest officially started?
only……
"Gudong!"
After swallowing hard, Chen Mucheng asked in a dry voice: "Your Majesty, three hundred units a month..."
"Haha, don't be in a hurry."
Glancing at Chen Mu, Li Yuanjia's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he said lightly: "Just do your best first, and do as much as you can... Okay, you can go down first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After twitching his face twice, Chen Mu carefully withdrew.
As soon as the head carpenter left, Li Yuanjia immediately looked at Wang Pu, who stood silent all the time: "Do you know what to do next?"
"Go back to your Majesty, my subordinates understand!"
After taking a deep breath, Wang Pu immediately nodded: "I will help Chen Mu..."
"It's not about helping him, it's about you making the decision!"
Before Wang Pu could finish his words, Li Yuanjia frowned and said in a deep voice: "From today on, in addition to the affairs of the paper-making workshop, you will also have to take on the responsibility of the dumping workshop!"
"Ah? This..."
Wang Pu, who was originally calm, couldn't help but change his face after hearing these words.
Although Wang Pu was a little reluctant to ask him to assist Chen Mu, a steward who was a craftsman, he also knew that this matter was suppressed by the current saint, and he could not refuse. So during this period, Wang Pu really tried his best to help, otherwise he would
Based on who Chen Mu is, what can he accomplish?
Almost all the arrangements for the one hundred craftsmen and one hundred handymen were made by Wang Pu.
But being willing to help, and actually controlling the overturning workshop, does not mean that Wang Pu is willing to actually take over the figure of 300 overturning units a month. Chen Mu is not the only one who is scared!
What should we do if we can’t do it by then?
Wang Pu really didn’t want to take the blame for Chen Mu, especially when the blame was Haikou that the king had boasted about in front of the emperor! When he thought that the emperor might ask about this matter in the future, Wang Pu couldn’t help but want to fight.
Shit, Li Yuanjia is the current prince, no one will really do anything to him, but he is a small steward of the palace...
It's a pity that Li Yuanjia doesn't care about Wang Pu's ugly face at all.
Li Yuanjia just raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't see anything, and continued: "There are still more than half a year left, you just need to do three things... First, let Chen Mu take good care of himself.
Teach those one hundred handymen some carpentry skills, it will definitely help a lot!"
"……yes."
After hearing what the king said, Wang Pu's eyes suddenly lit up!
yes!
Although carpentry is not easy to learn, under the king's order, many craftsmen now only need to make one component, which is much easier.
In this way, wouldn't it be equivalent to adding many more carpenters?
"Second, spend twenty guan of money every month, and any craftsmen who can improve their craftsmanship and speed up their craftsmanship will be heavily rewarded!"
"yes."
After hearing the second article, Wang Pu's answer became much quicker.
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men... no, there must be smart people. Wang Pu understands this very well. Their papermaking workshop alone has awarded hundreds of coins because of this!
Seeing that Wang Pu woke up quickly, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Third, starting from next month, carpenters will be divided into five grades. The most common one is the fifth grade. The monthly money will remain the same, which is better.
Those who are better are in the fourth class, with an increase of five qian per month, and those who are better are in the third class, with an increase of 10 qian per month..."
