Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 63 Ceremony Preparation
Xue Lang suddenly became busy!
I really immediately understood why in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Wang Xifeng was invited to the Ningguo Mansion for a funeral. The personnel affairs are complicated, and it is really a headache if I don't take care of them often.Fortunately, Xue Lang has a good memory now. Although he was so busy that he turned his back on his back, he did not make any mistakes. Thanks to the golden finger given by the God of Time Traveling!
In this era when transportation basically depends on legs, and communication basically depends on shouting, even in Xue Lang's eyes, it is just a simple activity, without mobile phones or telephones as communication tools, as the master planner, many people immediately come to him to ask questions .

Fortunately, Han Jin was the commander-in-chief of the whole event. Xue Lang was an outsider and unfamiliar with the local personnel. He couldn't do the job of the commander-in-chief.

In fact, Xue Lang is quite satisfied, as long as he sits at home and talks, he doesn't have to be bumped by the carriage, and he doesn't have to ride a horse to and fro—

If there is anything that Xue Lang is not used to after traveling for so long, it must be traveling!In the past, Hyundai disliked cars. It was not good here, and it was not good there.It’s good to have a car only after traveling through time. People like to commit the problem of “sometimes they don’t cherish it, and sometimes they want it”. In short, one word, cheap!

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess has summoned you to discuss matters."

As soon as Xue Lang finished dismissing a group of people, and sat down to let go of his thoughts, Princess Pingyang sent someone to call him over to discuss the matter.

Xue Lang had no choice but to get up and go out, He Xiang hurriedly took the futon to the side of the charcoal basin to dry, lest Xue Lang come back and sit on the cold futon——

He Xiang has been here for several days, her hands and feet are diligent, she has work in her eyes, but she doesn't talk much, she is very well-behaved, like a saw-mouthed gourd, she hasn't heard a word for a long time.Compared with her, Lamei looked lively.

However, although He Xiang doesn't like to talk, she is very attentive in doing things. With her around, Xue Lang doesn't need to open his mouth, everything is prepared for him.It can be seen that serving Xue Lang, the master, is really very attentive.

Xue Lang took Changjian to the main hall. In the room, Han Jin, Lady Liu, and Her Highness the Princess were already present, and there was an extra Mrs. Fang, the East Sacrifice Wine. Before Xue Lang entered to salute, Her Highness waved her hand: "Youyang, sit down." , don't be too polite."

Xue Lang still insisted on saluting, he couldn't take the leader's polite words seriously.In case the cooperation is not pleasant one day, the seriousness now is evidence of disrespect in the future.

Terrible feudal society!

Xue Lang sat down, and Her Royal Highness nodded slightly to Han Jin. Han Jin clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, Han will send people out to recruit craftsmen tomorrow. How should we arrange for the coming craftsmen? We need to discuss it in advance and do it as soon as possible." Good arrangement."

Aunt Fang said: "There are vacant houses in the craftsman's house, the little lady can arrange for someone to clean them up immediately."

Lady Officer Liu also continued: "For food, people can be dispatched from the cook camp to take charge, and the ingredients can also be handed over to the cook camp for unified purchase."

Women are careful, and board and lodging must be arranged by them.Han Jin is a man, and Mrs. Liu is not married, so it is not easy for him to discuss matters face to face, so he called everyone to Her Royal Highness.

Xue Lang said he understood!

In the future, I will learn to work under Her Highness the Princess. There are many women under His Highness. Even if you work with women in modern times, you must pay attention to etiquette and rules. Frivolous and rude people are not welcomed by women no matter in ancient times or modern times.Not to mention that this is an ancient time with stricter etiquette and rules.

"Master Xue!"

Han Jin called Xue Lang, and brought back his thoughts that were about to be distorted.Xue Lang responded.Han Jin said: "The venue has been ordered to build according to Master Xue's requirements. What are Master Xue's requirements for the recruitment of craftsmen?"

Xue Lang said: "My request is very simple, recruit as many people as possible! When you go to recruit, bring Tolerance and the local Lizheng, find a Tolerance to beat the gong in front, let as many people know as possible, the more people who know The more the better, take advantage of this opportunity to build momentum early, and it will be much more convenient for us to promote it.”

Han Jin nodded, asked Chuxue for a pen and paper, and wrote down Xue Lang's request.Xue Lang continued: "In terms of the recruitment of craftsmen, I suggest that in addition to the craftsmen who have already started to take over the work independently, the craftsmen who have not yet started as teachers, but apprentices who are already able to work together, can also be recruited."

Han Jin listened to the writing pen and raised an objection: "The apprentices have not yet graduated from the teacher, and their craftsmanship is not up to standard. I am afraid that the plows they make will affect their use."

"About this, I have a solution."

Xue Lang was confident: "First, fix all the plows to one size, and let the craftsmen make them all according to the same size; second, use an assembly line to do it!"

"What is assembly line work?"

For the new terms that Xue Lang pops up from time to time, Miss Liu maintains a strong curiosity.Xue Lang said: "It means splitting the plow into multiple parts. We separate masters and apprentices according to their skill levels. The masters specialize in making parts that require good skills, and the apprentices specialize in making parts that do not require high skills. Size, and then assemble it at the end.”

"This method is excellent!"

Her Royal Highness, who was watching, suddenly spoke in praise.

Xue Lang said with a smile: "In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the apprentices, we can lower the wages of the apprentices to the standard of the master's wages. Of course, in order to prevent the apprentices from being unskilled and making up their money, the wages are calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, and only those who are qualified can be paid." , Unqualified items are not only not worth the money, if the unqualified items exceed a certain percentage, we will also deduct wages! In other words, the better you do, the more wages you get, so as to stimulate everyone's greatest enthusiasm for production .”

Han Jin nodded in satisfaction: "This method is indeed excellent. According to common sense, apprentices cannot receive wages before they leave the teacher. The wages we give apprentices will eventually fall into the pockets of the masters. Master Xue's method greatly solves the problem. However, in order to prevent the masters from bringing out apprentices whose skills are not up to standard for wages, if the apprentices make more than a certain number of unqualified things, not only the wages of the apprentices, but also the masters will be deducted. wages."

Xue Lang said: "Han Changshi, you guys are more familiar with the local conditions. Outsiders like me are responsible for coming up with ideas. Useful ideas can be adopted according to the local conditions."

Everyone discussed the remaining issues in detail, and after that, Han Jin was busy again.Her Royal Highness left Lady Liu and Xue Lang behind, and said to Xue Lang directly: "Youyang, please explain to me the method of assembly line operation you just mentioned. I want to use this method for bed crossbow and divine arm bow. method."

So Her Royal Highness is wise and wise!Look, after Xue Lang just mentioned it, she not only saw the key point, but also found the applicable place by herself.Her Royal Highness is a person who does great things!

Therefore, Xue Lang explained in detail to Her Royal Highness what is called assembly line operation——

To Her Royal Highness, Xue Lang spoke much more happily than to Han Jin, unlike Han Jin, after all, Han Jin is the long history of the Princess Mansion, the number one civil servant under Her Royal Highness, Xue Lang talked too much , afraid of provoking his jealousy, Xue Lang generally only clicked on Han Jin.
