Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1024 Feelings

Luo Yaoping picked up the wine glass and said: "It is a great honor today. Mr. Lu Yihao, the governor of Jingxinnan North Road, Shaanxi Road, and Hedong Road, came to our factory with four of his subordinates. At noon today, stay in our factory for a meal A casual meal. Everyone, let’s have a drink together to celebrate this!”

After speaking, he bowed slightly and looked at Lu Yihao.

Lu Yihao understood, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He said: "It's polite to mention it."

Luo Yaoping put down his wine glass, feeling satisfied. He raised his chopsticks and said to Lu Yihao: "Captain, eat the food, eat the food!"

Lu Yihao noticed that before Luo Yaoping toasted, he deliberately turned the braised Luohe carp on the dinner table in front of him. I knew in my heart that the most meaningful thing on this dinner table was this fish, so I turned it to myself.

Picking up the serving chopsticks, Lu Yihao saw the fish head facing him, so he dug out a piece of crescent moon meat under the gill cover, put it in the serving spoon, and put it into the bowl in front of him.

Luo Yaoping's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he nodded secretly to a few of his own people at the dinner table.

Anyone who likes to eat fish knows that there are four most delicious parts of fish. They are fish maw, fish head and fish tail. There is another part that tastes far better than these parts, which is the crescent meat under the fish gills. Lu Yihao eats this part of the meat first, which shows that he is an expert at eating fish.

In fact, Lu Yihao took the crescent meat just out of convenience. He didn't know which part of the fish was the most delicious, and he didn't know how to pick it up. He just picked up the piece of meat for convenience because the head of the fish was facing him.

Literati and officials do not pay special attention to etiquette when eating. Whichever piece of meat you think is delicious and whatever you like to eat, just grab it and eat it. You won’t think there’s anything wrong with doing this, and neither will others.

The people who pay the most attention to eating etiquette are businessmen. When people they don't know often get together, they have to separate themselves into different groups and create some ceremonial arrangements. As a businessman, you have a lot of money. To show that you are rich, you need to make the pomp more elegant, and it is best to divide them into first, second and third classes.

Just like drinking alcohol. Some people don’t know how Chinese wine is produced, or they pretend not to know. Just because of the word distillation, they think it is the same as other distillation methods. Because the Arabs were the first to use distillation, they insisted that Chinese liquor was imported. In fact, the distillation of Chinese liquor is similar to steaming steamed buns. The Chinese are extremely familiar with this technology, so it is natural that liquor was born in China.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, people who drank baijiu and rice wine gradually fell out of favor. Many people who like to drink baijiu are not angry. It is said that because the Red Army crossed the grassland and passed through Zunyi, it made Maotai popular after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and also made Baijiu popular. Some people say that the Soviets liked high-alcohol liquor because of the large-scale aid after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which also led the Chinese to like liquor.

Some people have ulterior motives for these nonsense, while others believe them to be true.

Instead of making up so many stories, it would be better to just say that it was passed down from merchants’ banquets. This is true for many wine table rules.

Wang Xiaolie's system promoted such people who were responsible for specific affairs and could not be transformed into officials. Officials have channels for joining and being promoted, and those who are directly responsible for managing factories have channels for joining and being promoted. Moreover, for promotion and other officials, rewards and punishments are generally expressed in the form of money.

For example, the supervisor directly manages the promotion, but the supervisor receives a salary, which is often lower than the salary of the promotion below. If the management is good, in addition to salary, promotions will also include various bonuses, which may far exceed the salary of the chief supervisor.

However, in terms of etiquette, promotion is far from being comparable to that of the eunuch. Because the eunuch's etiquette system represents the official system and cannot be violated.

Promotions are not official positions, their status is more similar to businessmen. He makes a lot of money, but his status is much lower than that of an official. This status makes them pay more attention to some etiquette and pomp. Because only in this way can their identities be revealed. Everyone was satisfied with the meal. Luo Yaoping gained face, and Lu Yihao gained respect.

In the afternoon, Lu Yihao and others visited the clock factory.

In the large clock production factory, Lu Yihao saw parts being standardized and produced one by one, and then brought together to form large clocks. In the production factories of watches and pocket watches, we saw more exquisite parts and more precise assembly. Even in luxury goods production factories, we saw production workshops with only a few craftsmen from beginning to end, and the products produced were extremely exquisite.

After coming out of the watch production factory, Lu Yihao didn't speak for a long time.

There was no dinner at the clock factory in the evening. Cui Nian was sent away, and several people returned to the posthouse early.

The sun is still very high, and the sunshine wine is warm and makes people lazy.

Lu Yihao took a chair and sat in the garden of the post house, looking at the sunset on the horizon in trance.

The peonies in the garden are in full bloom, colorful and exceptionally bright. Two butterflies danced gracefully, chasing each other and flying back and forth among the flowers.

This is a spring evening, a beautiful evening.

After sitting for a long time, the sun had slipped to the edge of the mountain, and Lu Yihao straightened up. Walking to the door of the room, Lu Yihao said to Li Guang: "Inform the others to have a meeting!"

In the living room, Lu Yihao was sitting in the middle. Li Guang, Zeng Mao, Pan Lianggui and Chen Kangbo were sitting on both sides.

After looking at everyone, Lu Yihao said: "I visited two factories today, which made me very emotional. What do you think? Come and tell me."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Guang said: "My biggest feeling is that everything is in order. Whether it is making vehicles or clocks, people in the factory produce the parts and finally put them together. Every step is done." Concentrate your attention and don’t tolerate any negligence.”

Zeng Mao continued: "Every step seems simple and by no means complicated. But when the product is put together, it is extremely complicated. In the past, when we saw something, we thought it was extremely complicated, and it must be made by skilled craftsmen. In these factories In the factory, this is not the case. There may even be no skilled craftsmen in the factory, but their management is very sophisticated. It can also be said that the work of the skilled craftsmen is divided into many people. The work done by the skilled craftsmen is replaced by It becomes a management complexity.”

Pan Lianggui said: "Counsel Zeng said it well. The factory replaces the work of skilled craftsmen with the simple work of many workers, and produces complex products through complex management. In addition, the use of water conservancy machinery, It greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers, which is also a great contribution.”

Chen Kangbo said: "I observed these factories and found that the output of their products is huge and it is not easy to sell them. Only in a country like ours, with a vast area and countless people, can these products be bought. Change another I’m afraid it won’t work in this place.”
