Fengxian Jiangshan

The Russian Revolution attracted the attention of all parties, and the various forces that were originally conflicted have temporarily shelved their knots and began to watch Russia's every move. In particular, the Japanese have begun to dispatch troops and are ready to intervene at any time.

The same is true for the Feng army. It has accelerated the pace of mobilization. Before the army goes north, all kinds of preparations must be done. The most important thing is two things. One is the problem of food, and the other is the issue of arms supply.

Since the implementation of the farm model, the sown area and output of grain in the three northeastern provinces have increased significantly. The most important thing is that the farm has guaranteed the government's tax revenue and can receive all the income that should be collected. In addition, it has promoted the growth of agricultural products. The minimum protection price, the common people sold a large amount of surplus grain to the government.

The three northeastern provinces have hoarded a large amount of grain, and the warehouses are all full. There are rice, wheat, and sorghum stick noodles. In order to cope with the large amount of grain, a large number of warehouses have been established in various places. Saying that there is food in hand, there is no panic in the heart. Seeing the food, everyone feels at ease.

Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting are inspecting a temporary warehouse, which is full of rice and flour, all of which are new crops for this year, and many porters are going back and forth, preparing to transport the crops away.Yang Yuting casually opened a bag, checked it, and said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, these grains are of high quality. Not only can they supply the army, but there is also a large amount of surplus grain. They should be sold at a good price!"

"Don't worry, the Russian economy was on the verge of collapse during the war, and now the civil war is going on, and the agriculture has been almost destroyed. No matter which army it is, it needs a lot of food. And the big powers want to interfere in Russia. After that, it will be the most convenient and economical to transport grain from the Northeast, and grain is a good card in our hands.”

Yang Yuting also nodded and said yes: "There is Zhuoyan, the number one profiteer, and I think everyone will inevitably be slaughtered."

In many cases, as long as the weapon of food is used well, it can produce better effects than guns, and can even control the outcome of the front. Moreover, through food, it can be exchanged for what is needed from the hands of the United States and Japan.Zhang Tinglan already has a plan for this.

"During this period of time, the grain delivered to the front line has reached 300 million tons, and another 500 million tons have been transported up one after another and stored in the warehouses along the railway line. As long as it is needed, it can be shipped to the front line at any time." Yang Yuting said with a smile : "Two years ago, the Feng army was still short of food and clothing. Just two years later, our strength has improved rapidly. The three eastern provinces are indeed a fertile fertile soil. If we develop them all, we will definitely have the capital to fight against the big powers." .”

"That's right, the three eastern provinces do have unlimited potential. The most lacking thing is an environment for peaceful development. This time there is a civil war in Russia. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At least half of the threats to the north should be removed, and then we can fully deal with the Japanese."

After inspecting the grain, Zhang Tinglan met with the directors of the arsenal and steel factory non-stop.Tao Jiping, Xiong Mengyuan, Chen Qiming, Xia Han, Kuang Jingyang, Fan Xudong and others all arrived.

"Some time ago, I sent an invitation to everyone. I hope that you can summarize your own management experience and think about the gains and losses. We have a preliminary factory foundation, but how to realize the full potential of the factory depends on everyone's wisdom. Wisdom, what do you guys think?"

Kwong Jingyang has the oldest qualifications. After hearing what Zhang Tinglan said, he took the lead in saying: "In fact, we have been doing reforms in the management system. I have already abolished foremen and set up a detailed reward mechanism for workers. This is a very good reform. As to how to reform in the next step, I think it is still necessary to widely absorb professional talents, with experts leading outsiders, to increase the autonomy of factories, and to avoid excessive government intervention."

"Mr. Kuang, let me refute you." Xia Han on the side suddenly said: "Reducing government intervention is not a good thing. If it is in Europe and the United States, there are many factories and everyone competes with each other. It is understandable that the best companies stand out. This is what is different about us now. There are almost only one or two factories of each type. Therefore, we are only allowed to succeed and not to fail. It is absolutely impossible to rely solely on the enterprise itself. We must know that the enemy we are facing has the right time and place. Great powers, without the government's planning support, we certainly cannot support it."

Although Xia Han is just a young junior, he did make some sense. After listening to it, Kuang Jingyang couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "It's true, I was negligent."

Fan Xudong also said from the side: "Just three days ago, Mr. Hou Debang and the others also came back from the United States. I inquired carefully about the management methods of American companies. Mr. Hou mentioned standardized assembly line production and divided the processes as carefully as possible. For some, each worker is only responsible for a few simple processes, which can lower the technical level requirements and ensure the quality of the products. I think this approach is very good. Fengtian’s enterprises must come up with a set of strict standards, explore and establish The production line can not only double the production efficiency, but also improve the product quality."

Listening to these people's discussion, Zhang Tinglan nodded frequently. They also prepared carefully and hit the point, but Zhang Tinglan still had a little idea, which they didn't bring up.

"Everyone, an enterprise is divided into management, technical personnel, front-line workers, and three groups. How to deal with the relationship between these three groups is the first problem that an enterprise should solve. In the past, the factory management had the final say. Some are similar to the feudal yamen, where laymen lead experts, and in the end many problems arise, such as Hanyang Iron Works, Kailuan Coal Mine and other Westernization enterprises. These enterprises have always been half-dead, and there is no way to compete with Western enterprises. .”

Zhang Tinglan pointed out the disadvantages of Westernization Enterprises, and everyone nodded frequently. This is indeed the case. Kuang Jingyang said from the side: "My humble words are correct, and it is precisely because of this that I advocate the use of professionals to manage factories. The enterprise cannot be turned into a yamen, the lesson of Hanyang Iron Works is too painful."

"Well, of course I very much agree with the introduction of talents, but am I still ignoring a group, that is, those front-line production workers, how should I treat them, are they just machines that obey orders?"

After Zhang Tinglan raised this question, Kuang Jingyang was speechless for a while.He didn't expect Zhang Tinglan to mention the workers. To be honest, in this era, front-line workers don't pay much attention to them except those high-level technical authorities. The workers are all dirty and have no status to speak of.

"Zhuoyan, how do you think workers should be used?"

"Mr. Kuang, my point of view is to put workers, technicians, and management together. The three of them form a team. They must cooperate closely. It can't be simply regarded as who obeys whom. Workers should be brought into management. , participate in product research and development, and make full use of their ingenuity. Get the best economic benefits."

Zhang Tinglan's opinion is for the people present.There is a subversive feeling.Wouldn't it be a mess to let workers enter the management?

"To put it bluntly, many workers have low levels of knowledge. Letting them participate in management and scientific research is a bit overestimating the ability of workers?"

"The factory has major decisions, but also relatively trivial affairs. And the details often determine the quality of a product, which cannot be ignored. In addition, although the technicians are mainly responsible for designing products, workers are also required to make the designed things In the process of production, there will definitely be areas that need to be improved, so workers and technicians also need to have an interaction."

"The commander-in-chief is right!" Xiong Mengyuan said from the side: "Since the arsenal encouraged technological innovation, many new ideas and new processes were proposed by ordinary workers, which saved materials, improved efficiency, simplified processes, and enhanced Quality. Take our latest water rifle as an example, some workers suggested that the buttstock should be reduced so that it can better fit the Chinese body, and we are also working on a redesign.”

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "Increasing the participation of workers is to make the factory a whole. Everyone has the responsibility and obligation to improve the quality of the products and make the operation of the factory more efficient!"

The people present were also constantly thinking about Zhang Tinglan's proposition, which is indeed very reasonable. In the past, everyone more or less regarded workers as talking machines, thinking that there is only a simple incentive system to make workers more obedient and work harder. It's enough to live, and now it seems that there is still more room for improvement.

After some discussion, we finally came up with four opinions. The first is to encourage workers to participate in scientific research management; the second is to specify the reward and punishment mechanism. As long as the workers are beneficial to suggestions, they will be rewarded; the third is to be more standardized. Refine the division of labor; the fourth point is to vigorously introduce and cultivate talents, establish a search and excavation network for talents at home and abroad, find as many talents as possible, and increase the intensity of self-cultivation of talents.

These four points are the key to increasing the efficiency of the enterprise. If they can be implemented well, Zhang Tinglan is sure to double the production capacity and greatly improve the quality.The civil war in Russia, for the Fengjun, was a coexistence of crises. As for what kind of effect it could achieve, it depended on how strong the Fengjun was.

When the strength is strong, he can eat meat and drink soup, but the strength is not enough. When Russia is dyed red, there will be a giant beast beside Fengjun.Industrial production capacity is the core of strength. After getting the machine, we just completed the hardware part. Now that we have sorted out the new management regulations, it is the software part. After the completion, the industrial capacity will definitely be greatly improved.

All these are almost done, Zhang Tinglan is ready to go north, but he is still waiting for a news, a news that makes the Americans take the initiative to beg Fengjun.

The cold Far East is not suitable for living, but since the outbreak of the First World War, there have been a lot of business opportunities here. Before the First World War, George, an American businessman, was just a small grocer. Russia sold military uniforms and other supplies and made its first pot of gold.

Then his business grew bigger and bigger, and the banknotes in his hands grew more and more. The First World War completely accomplished him, and George even hoped that the war would continue.Unfortunately, although the war is not over, the Russian Civil War has already broken out. As a big businessman, George regards the majority party as a scourge.

After the revolution broke out in Russia, he started to deal with the materials in his hands, and prepared to return to the United States as soon as possible with his assistants and family members.A group of more than a dozen of them came to Vladivostok in a hurry, preparing to take a freighter and return to the United States.

But just when they were about to leave this damned country, a group of armed men with rifles rushed out from nowhere. Without any explanation, they arrested George and others and took them to a secret courtyard. .

George saw several burly Russians push his wife and daughter to the ground, right in front of him, they were all torn clean, and then these Russians took turns doing wanton things on the two white bodies, the wife The shrill cries and the low sobs of his daughter rang in George's ears, like thunder, knocking him out. He was desperately trying to break free, but suddenly a dagger stuck in his chest. In the shoulder, an arm was torn off in an instant, and George, like a wounded beast, let out a howl as if from hell... (To be continued...)
