The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 462 Workshop Restructuring
As soon as Zhao Ji led Deng Xu, Lin Zhong and his party out of the gate of the office in a hurry, he saw Xu An, surrounded by a group of heavily armed yellow angels, walking slowly towards the office of the Eagle Wolf Guard. come.

"Welcome to the great virtuous teacher!"

All the Eagle Wolf Guard Tiqi who were on duty outside the office of the Eagle Wolf Guard lowered their heads and saluted together.

"Zhao Ji, the thousand-household officer of the Eagle Wolf Guard, sees the great virtuous teacher."

"Tian Zhong, the foreign affairs envoy of the Department of Foreign Affairs, has a meeting with the great virtuous teacher."

Zhao Ji and Tian Zhong walked out of the office together and saluted Xu An together.

"Exemption."

Xu An walked over with a smile, and pointed to the gate of the office.

The Yellow Turban Army from the Four States entered Bingzhou, and the biggest stone in his heart had already fallen, and now he finally had some smiles on his face.

"Go ahead and talk about it."

Xu An came to Taihang Workshop in a hurry this time, and he didn't tell anyone in advance.

The purpose is to see the specific situation of the Taihang Workshop. There are too many things where orders are issued from above, and orders are violated from below.

There are policies and measures to counter.

Public inspections often fail to find anything.

Although the loyalty of Eagle Wolf Guards seems to be no problem for the time being, it is definitely not possible to rely on everything.

If you listen to it, you will be clear, but if you believe it, you will be dark.

There was Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, and the East Factory and even the West Factory were still opened later, and the expert factory was largely because of the consideration that one family would only do great harm, and without the power of supervision, it was a fierce tiger that went out to the slaughterhouse.

Even in Jinyiwei, it is divided into North and South Town Fusi.

Among them, "Nanzhen Fusi" is responsible for the legal and military discipline of the guard.

The things he saw along the way were basically consistent with the report of the Eagle Wolf Guard and the report documents of the Taihang Workshop government office, and there was not much difference.

But of course not everything is true, there are some discrepancies in it, but the discrepancies are not big, and there is no need to be too harsh on these small details.

Xu An walked in the forefront, leading everyone into the office of the Eagle Wolf Guard, and went straight to the experience room.

Most of the offices of the Eagle Wolf Guard were built according to uniform specifications, with little difference. Xu An often went in and out of the General Office of the Eagle Wolf Guard in Jinyang City, so there was no need for a guide at all.

The experience office is the place where files are stored in the Yamen of the Eagle Wolf Guard and where the civilian staff handles affairs.

"See the great virtuous teacher!"

Xu An stepped into the experience office, and when the busy civilian staff of Eagle Wolf Guard saw Xu An, they all stood up in a hurry and saluted Xu An.

Earlier, Zhao Ji also passed on the news that Xu An was coming to the Eagle Wolf Guard Office.

Although many of them had never met Xu An, Xu An walked in the front wearing a Taiqing fishtail crown and a yellow silk crane cloak.

Not everyone can wear Taiqing fishtail crown, at least in Bingzhou, in Taiping Road, only one person is qualified to wear it.

That is the master of Taiping Dao, and the current master of Taiping Dao is undoubtedly Xu An.

After Xu An said a few words of relief, he led a few generals straight into the experience office and walked inside.

The innermost side of the experience office is the place where thousands or hundreds of households do business.

"All sit down."

Xu An sat directly at the top.

Everyone sang a promise and sat on the left and right sides. Zhao Ji and Tian Zhong sat at the end on the left.

Xu Huang glanced at the door, and then said: "Yan Lun should arrive in about half a quarter of an hour. The government office of Taihang Workshop is not far from the office of Eagle Wolf Guard."

Yan Lun is the head of Taihang Workshop, and also Yan Zhong's nephew, he can be regarded as Yan Zhong's most valued nephew.

He is proficient in arithmetic and is also familiar with some craftsmen, so he was also appointed as the head of Taihang Workshop.

He didn't lose Yan Zhong's face either, he managed the Taihang workshop in an orderly manner, and delivered a large amount of weapons to the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu An nodded, glanced around the house, looked at Zhao Ji, and asked.

"Zhao Ji, have you taken over all the affairs of the Taihang Workshop?"

"Returning to the great virtuous teacher, the previous Qianhu officer has already delivered all the errands. I am familiar with the operation of the workshop in the past few days."

When Zhao Ji heard Xu An speak, he immediately straightened up, bowed his hands and replied respectfully.

Xu An said with a smile: "The Taihang workshop has been established for a while. Although it is functioning well, there is still a big gap in our army's military equipment. The production of the workshop is still far from enough, so I came here this time to carry out the workshop. reform."

"This time, you were transferred to be the Thousand Household Officer of Taihang Workshop to carry out the reform. Liu Pi gave you a very high opinion. You have never let me down. I hope you won't let me down this time either."

Xu An encouraged Zhao Ji a few words, and then started talking with Tian Zhong.

Tian Zhong was the most outstanding foreign envoy in the Department of Foreign Affairs, Xu An naturally recognized him, he persuaded Guo Tai, surrendered Xihe County soldiers, went to Youzhou as an envoy, and recruited Shanggu Wuhuan.

Yan Lun also just walked into the house at this time.

"Yan Lun, the head of the Taihang Workshop, see the great virtuous teacher."

As soon as Yan Lun came in, he prostrated himself on the ground, bowed to Xu An, and then sat down.

"Now that they are all here, let me make a long story short. This time, millions of people from the four prefectures successfully entered Bingzhou, and the cost is increasing day by day. In the battle of Jizhou, our army's military equipment was seriously depleted, and we need to replenish it. Therefore, it is imperative to expand the scale of the Taihang Workshop. It must be done."

Xu An didn't beat around the bush, but said straightforwardly.

Taihang Workshop was not bad before, and its operation has always been in a good state, and there have never been any mistakes.

It's just that they can no longer keep up with the footsteps of the Yellow Turban Army. Although the Yellow Turban Army has other workshops, they are just a drop in the bucket.

All workshops will expand in size and change the system at the same time.

"In the workshop, there are also many problems, so the reform also needs to be implemented."

When the Taihang workshop and other Jizhong workshops were first built, they still had very good results.

But after a period of time, people's inertia began to be exposed.

Not long after the Yellow Turban Army unified and merged with the state, although it could last for a period of time by relying on the money of the powerful family, it was limited after all.

It also takes time to collect agricultural taxes, and the daily expenditure of the Eagle Wolf Guard and the army is a terrifying figure, so the financial situation of the Yellow Turban Army has not been very good.

Because of the poor finances and the shortage of money, the army has always been the largest financial expenditure. In other respects, the Yellow Turban Army has always been adhering to the principle of saving what can be saved, especially in terms of civil affairs.

All the artisans concentrated in the workshop distribute food according to the rationing system to ensure their basic necessities of life.

Although all craftsmen are given salaries, they only give a small amount of salaries, and basically all the salaries received by them are almost the same.

Over time, lazy people naturally appeared, and the output of the workshop began to decrease.

Although there are government officials and Tiqi from the Eagle Wolf Guard, these craftsmen are not slaves after all, and Xu An's law does not allow them to be treated as slaves.

"The reform of the workshop is first of all to clarify the function."

"Taihang Workshop, from now on, except for the papermaking workshop and printing workshop, only blacksmiths will be kept, and only arms will be produced. All other craftsmen will be removed from the workshop, so that both management and operation will be much simpler."

Yan Lun was taken aback when he heard the words, and raised his head.

The Taihang workshop has a large number of people. Except for the blacksmith, there are more than [-] other craftsmen, and even more family members. If they are all transferred, there will be even more people. Where will so many people be placed?

Seeing Yan Lun's expression, Xu An knew that Yan Lun wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to speak out, so Xu An said: "I haven't been convicted of admonishment in Taipingdao yet. If you have anything to say, you can It can be said."

Hearing Xu An's words, Yan Lun hesitated for a moment, then saluted, and said: "If only military equipment is produced, it is really helpful for management and operation. The great virtuous teacher means to abolish other workshops, then it is also a good idea." That is to say, the textile workshops are also being abolished, leaving only blacksmiths, paper workshops, and printing workshops, so what should the family members of these three workshops do?"

Xu An was slightly taken aback, but he had missed this.

There are not only workers in the Taihang workshop, but also their families. It is like a small town.

Naturally, the workers' family members will not be raised for nothing. If they are really raised for nothing, the Yellow Turban Army really can't afford it.

Therefore, most of the craftsmen's families are actually working, most of them are engaged in textile operations, the clothes and flags of the Yellow Turban Army are produced here, and a small part of them are used as helpers.

Although part of the farmland in the valley has been reclaimed, the cultivation of the craftsman's family is quite limited, not much.

"That's a problem."

Because there are too many secrets in the workshops, not only the papermaking workshops and printing workshops, each workshop has some secrets, so the workshop must be located in a remote and hidden area, and it needs to maintain a certain degree of independence.

It is definitely impossible to single out the artisans. They also have families, wives and children, and they are not machines.

Xu An pondered for a moment, but decided to keep the old system, and said.

"There is a shortage of clothes everywhere, let them still weave, leave some of the machines, and do the same in other places. Except for the fabrics produced by the textile workshops for the army, the fabrics produced by the rest of the workshops are supplied to the army. Folks, we have a large number of stores in our hands, and we can sell them directly at that time."

"promise."

Yan Lun respectfully agreed. Apart from that, he has no other questions.

Xu An raised his first finger and continued: "The Taihang workshop will mainly be a military workshop in the future, producing armaments, and other industries that have moved out will set up joint workshops in places with sufficient raw materials. This is the first [-]. Division of labor construction workshop"

"Second, the artisan grading system."

Xu An raised a finger again and said.

"The salary of a craftsman is divided into fifteen levels. Taking blacksmiths as an example, one, two, three are junior blacksmiths, four, five, and six are intermediate blacksmiths, seven or eighty-nine are senior blacksmiths, ten, eleven, and twelve are top blacksmiths, and thirteen It is a 'skilled craftsman', the fourteenth level is a 'skilled craftsman', and the fifteenth level is a 'famous craftsman'."

"The salary of each level is different, and it rises sequentially. As for how to evaluate, I have drawn up the standard, you can take a look at it in detail."

The finances of the Yellow Turban Army have eased a little now. The financial resources of the powerful families in Jizhou are not comparable to those in Bingzhou. Although none of the big families were caught, none of the powerful landlords along the way escaped.

The Yellow Turban Army has a torsion trebuchet that can accompany the army, and it is difficult for ordinary Wubao to block the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, Xu An still gained a lot of property this time.

In the last years of the dynasty, wealth is often highly concentrated, and most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people.

Guoheng died with weakness, while Han died with strength.

Even so, the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty was inseparable from aristocratic families and powerful people.

Even, sometimes it is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor and the powerful rule the world together.

So in the current Han Empire, powerful and aristocratic families also control most of the wealth in the world.

The annexation of land is becoming more and more serious, and powerful families occupy one side, raising domestic slaves, and even a lot of people who hide weapons privately.

Now Xu An still has a certain amount of capital to distribute salaries to craftsmen.

"The third is the bonus system, which is very important."

Xu An stretched out three fingers and spoke slowly.

"Bonuses are divided into monthly awards, semi-annual awards, and annual awards. The level of bonus distribution is determined according to the efficiency of the craftsman and the comprehensive evaluation. To obtain the bonus, you need to pass a certain standard assessment. As for the standard, it is also written in the manual for you. "

"Fourth, the piecework system, which fixes the number of weapons that should be built every month according to the production efficiency, and then if the number of weapons built in the current month exceeds, an additional bonus will be issued on a piece-by-piece basis, but in order to maintain the quality, craftsmen must pay more for the items they manufacture Write down your name."

Those who work more get more, and those who work less get less. If some people are lazy and others work hard, but they receive the same salary, wouldn't it be unfair?
Equal remuneration means that those who work more get less and those who work less get more. This is unfair.

"Fifth, the patent system."

"It means that anyone who proposes a method that can improve work efficiency, production efficiency, and reduce production costs will pay a large amount of bonuses at one time according to the improved efficiency and reduced costs. its patents."

"patent?"

With Xu An's previous words, this time Yan Lun was no longer timid, but raised his own doubts. He didn't know what Xu An meant by patent rights.

Yan Lun used to be in charge of the making of the family's equipment in the family. He naturally knew that some craftsmen would hide their unique secret skills and would not reveal it easily, even teaching apprentices, and even father and son would hide their skills.

Those unique skills are the means by which they make a living, and some people even refuse to hand them over with death threats.

Xu Huang also looked at Xu An with some curiosity. In fact, Xu An sometimes mixed words in his words, which were often difficult to understand. This was the first time he heard the word patent right.

"Yes, it is the patent right."

Xu An's eyes brightened slightly, and he said slowly.

"Forgive me for being stupid, but dare to ask the great virtuous teacher what is the explanation for 'patent rights'?""

Xu An recalled slightly, and said: "Simply speaking, you have invented a new device, or provided a new technology, which can improve production efficiency or reduce the consumption of raw materials, that is, reduce costs."

"You can apply for a patent in the government office of the workshop."

"Patent means that the inventor enjoys a certain exclusive right to implement his invention within a specified period of time."

"To give a simple example, a person invents a weaving machine that can weave cloth faster. As long as he registers with the workshop government office, then he has the patent right for this loom, which can be used for He named it, and every time we make a loom of this kind, we will share a part of the income with him.”

"If it is technology, according to the level of contribution, you can directly increase the level of its craftsman, and then give a long-term monthly bonus."

"Among them, craftsmen of the three levels of 'skilled craftsman', 'skilled craftsman' and 'famous craftsman', if assessed, must provide innovative technology or invent new machinery."

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

The three titles of "Skilled Worker", "Skillful Craftsman" and "Famous Craftsman", and the medal is the name.

The [-]-level salary system, bonus system, and patent rights are all for profit.

Fame and fortune can make people's fighting spirit high.
