Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 285 Wearing a Coat for Shuofang City

It is impossible for a few people, or even hundreds of people, to repair a huge Shuofang City. Although Shuofang City may be much smaller than the cities of other state capitals, it can be said that it is really isolated on the grassland in the land of Hetao. lion.

Zhang Yi understands Wang Laowu's thoughts very well. His life can be dedicated to the country, but the secret recipe cannot.Because his own life is worthless, he will die if he dies, but in his opinion, the secret recipe is something related to the whole Zhangjiazhuang, and it is a good thing that can be passed down. How can he be willing to show it to other irrelevant people? People learned it?

Although the life in Zhangjiazhuang is simply heaven compared to the past, it is because they know that happiness is hard-won, so the old people in the village like them pay more attention to all these things that can bring benefits to their livelihood.

Just like the hatchery, because there is a way to hatch chickens inside, it is regarded as a forbidden place by the people of the whole village. Not to mention that outsiders cannot enter, even the women of the village cannot enter within three feet of the sideline. If they find it, they will all leave !Of course, if it is an outsider, I am afraid the end will be even more miserable!You know, the Zhuangzhuang team has a large number of men who have served as government soldiers, and they will not be as merciful as Zhang Yi to these guys who have seen blood.

As far as Zhang Yi knows, there have been a few idlers from Waizhuang who sneaked into the hatchery at night. It is estimated that other big households wanted to steal the teacher. Zhang Yi met him the night he was caught, but when he waited The third uncle actually said that he was lost the next day.

How many living people will get lost?

Even if Zhang Yi was killed, he wouldn't believe it!
But since that night, the hatchery has been patrolled more closely.
Therefore, things like secret recipes are just dispensable things in Zhang Yi's view. If they are spread out, they can even be improved by countless skilled craftsmen and become better things.

In fact, however, it is poverty that creates another situation.

Because of poverty, they pay more attention to the skills that can survive. In the eyes of almost everyone in the country, as long as the unique skills are still there, as long as they can be kept, it is equivalent to a long-term job. Not only can they feed their own generation, but also Future generations will also be able to live on this skill.

Just like this, the promotion in Zhang Yi's heart has become conservative, and it is precisely for this reason that old people in the village like Wang Laowu would rather tire themselves than let other people help.

"Uncle, I didn't think carefully about this!" Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Wang Laowu was silent for a moment, and then said respectfully: "How about this, Uncle asked General Niu to send some people to the kiln. They are responsible for the transportation and firing of materials, and how about I bring the ingredients on the Zhuangzi?"

It is said that the wisdom of the common people represents the basic level of wisdom in society, and Wang Laowu's words undoubtedly made Zhang Yi's eyes shine.

Unexpectedly, Wang Laowu actually learned how to master key skills.

From this point of view, it is a big improvement.

In fact, this method of operation has been used even in later generations.Because as Zhang Yi said, it is simply impossible for a few or even dozens of people to carry out mass production.If you want to ensure efficiency and keep the core technology secret, then this method is undoubtedly the best method.

And in Zhang Yi's view, the assembly line of later generations is likely to develop slowly from a secret core technology from a certain point of view.

First of all, the assembly line operation is to divide one thing into several things to make it simple, so the technical requirements for each operator will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

And because practice makes perfect, and simply repeating the same thing, a qualitative change is formed, not only the speed and efficiency can be improved, but also because of the long-term work, as a laborer, you can even find out the shortcomings of the process and improve it.

And what Wang Laowu said is that the people in Zhangjiazhuang are responsible for the ingredients, and other sergeants are responsible for the manufacturing of other processes. There is no doubt that there is a tendency to divide one thing into two things, and this is likely to be the pioneer of the creation of the assembly line. original purpose.

However, in reality, it is definitely not the first time that such things that are used for secrecy and require mass production have happened, such as ironmaking and steelmaking. In fact, this method is used to keep secret technology, so what Wang Laowu said Words are nothing more than drawing reeds in the same way.

But the speaker had no intention, but the listener did. Zhang Yi suddenly thought of whether it could be used to implement simple assembly work.

After all, as far as manpower is concerned, there is really no shortage of them now. Auxiliary soldiers are almost all nested in the barracks except for transporting Li Jing's food and fodder. The invisible waste of so much labor force clearly makes Zhang Yi see what they have left. value.

Immediately Zhang Yi nodded, clasped his fists and said sincerely to Niu Jinda: "I don't know if the general might send some people to burn cement?"

In fact, Niu Jinda has been paying attention to the conversation between Zhang Yi and Wang Laowu. When he heard the meaning of the two people's words of preparing to retain the core technology, he only flashed a hint of disappointment on his face, but he did not force Zhang Yi to hand it over. secret recipe.

After all, he is also from a poor family, so he can understand Wang Laowu's thoughts, so he immediately said: "So how about sending five hundred elites to produce cement? But although the war is not tight right now, I still hope that you can make more cement. Come out and build the fort as quickly as possible!"

The number of 500 people made Zhang Yi a little disappointed.

Although it looks like a lot, in the era when transportation is almost completely carried by shoulders and backs, this manpower is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, not to mention the importance of Shuofang is undoubtedly very important to Datang and even the grasslands. The north gate of the plague, Zhang Yi's face immediately became ugly when he thought of the huge Shuofang City.

Xue Wanren was the first to notice that Zhang Yi's expression was wrong, and immediately said: "Brother Zhang, isn't 500 people enough?"

In Xue Wanren's view, although the number of 500 people is not many, it is definitely not many. A team of 500 people can even raid some small tribes as long as they are well-equipped. Although the combat power of the auxiliary soldiers is not good, they are still a big force.

However, Zhang Yi's expression was obviously dissatisfied with desire, so he couldn't help saying this.

"Indeed. It's not enough!" Zhang Yi looked at Niu Jinda, then at Xue Wanren, and then said embarrassingly: "Although there is no obvious conclusion to the current war, I don't think we can passively act according to the conclusion! Shuofang For our dynasty, it is undoubtedly a nail to restrain Hetao, and its strategic importance must be very clear to you two!"
