I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 202 Small Workshop?bonus system
Although Yang Rong is not here most of the time, he just comes to inspect every day.

But he still has a relatively good understanding of the facilities in Tiangongyuan.

Pointing to the wing room with blue tiles and white walls of the two factions that entered the courtyard first, he explained to Li Tian,

"These two rows of wing rooms are where the officials of various departments of the Tiangong Institute will work in the future and discuss matters with other departments!"

Li Tian thought to himself, isn't this the so-called office area?

Although he hated the hierarchical system of the big company in his previous life very much, after being the emperor for so many days, he somewhat understood it.

No matter what department, once there are too many people, if there is no clear hierarchical management system, it will definitely cause bloated and chaotic work.

But seeing that only one office area occupies almost one-third of the land of Tiangong Institute, Li Tian still has some complaints in his heart.

In his vision, Tiangongyuan should be a place focused on scientific research, not an institution where bureaucrats gather.

If the Tiangongyuan will end up like the current Ministry of Industry in the future, with bloated officials, poor government orders, and low efficiency, his various ideas and plans may not be realized in the end.

Compared with the various hierarchical institutions of the imperial court, Li Tianfan is more interested in the models of those companies in later generations.

Although he wanted to mention them a few words, it can be seen that they are still in high spirits at this time, and Li Tian temporarily stopped his plan to pour cold water on them.

The office area is very simple and can be seen in a few glances.

Soon the three of them came to the workshop area in the middle.

This place is divided into small grid-like areas that are clearly defined.

Each small grid is not big, only twenty or thirty square meters, counting in detail, there are as many as fifty or sixty.

Although these grids are called grids, they are actually more like condensed workshops.

In each workshop, all kinds of utensils are complete, such as anvils, stoves, operating tables, and knives.

Although the place is not big, everything such as tables, chairs, pens, inks, papers and inkstones is also prepared.

At a glance, it can indeed be described as a small sparrow with complete internal organs.

Li Tian finds this new.

"What are these small grids for? How did you build so many ones!"

Zhou Zhen explained, "This is based on your Majesty's suggestion at that time, and the result of the discussion between the minister and the master craftsmen."

For a moment, Li Tian couldn't think of himself saying such things properly.

"Oh? Come and listen to me!"

Zhou Zhen arched his hands,
"Your Majesty, you also know that all truly talented people are somewhat arrogant. Even if the status of craftsmen was low in the past, it was almost no different from slavery."

"However, those old craftsmen who are really skilled, especially those who have absolute confidence in their craft, still have a bit of a temper, and they don't bother and don't want to share a workshop with other people."

Li Tian nodded and said, "Well, I still understand the principle that peers look down on each other, so go ahead."

"At the beginning, these craftsmen were quite easy to talk to and obeyed instructions very well."

"But as they get along for a long time, when they encounter differences, serious quarrels will erupt, and some even have a bad temper, and they will start fighting."

"During that time, Wei Chen spent a lot of time trying to adjust the relationship between them."

"Later, I remembered, Your Majesty, what you said to me, about competing for posts, although I didn't understand it at first, but later I understood it thoroughly."

"So, I divided these craftsmen into several groups, and issued a goal to each of them. If the group does well and does it quickly, the results of that group will be adopted and rewarded."

"In this way, in order to get rewards, those artisans will gather together as a group and study desperately. The efficiency has increased many times compared to before."

Li Tian smiled slightly, and said in his heart, "This Zhou Zhen is really a genius in management. What I said casually at the time, he can actually learn and use it now, which is rare and rare."

Yang Rong seemed to see Li Tian's joy, and praised from the side, "This method is good, it makes them have a sense of competition and comparison with each other, and there will be no one who insists on his own opinion and does not work hard. The situation is over, Zhou Shilang, your method is really clever!"

"That's right, people have the desire to compare themselves, not to mention rewards and honors, they will be surprised if they don't study hard."

"In this way, these small grids are the private workshops you have prepared for those master craftsmen!"

Zhou Zhen smiled faintly,
"Hey, Your Majesty is right. Although this small workshop is not too big, it can accommodate three or five craftsmen working at the same time. There is no problem."

Li Tian nodded, "You did a good job in this matter!"

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Zhen bowed down happily.

"Okay, today you are the protagonist here, kneeling around, what does it look like. Hurry up!"

After wandering around in these well-made and well-decorated small lattice workshops.

Li Tian continued,

"This method certainly has the effect of motivating craftsmen, but it should not be used too far."

"Craftsmen are also divided into trades, and each has their own specialties. If someone gives up their original trade and engages in something they have never touched in order to reward silver, wouldn't it be a waste of talent."

"Yes, what His Majesty taught is that I will definitely pay attention to this matter in the future."

Li Tian said with a smile, "I'm just offering an opinion, and you and Zirong are the ones who really decide. Don't hesitate because of some of my words. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse!"

Yang Rong flattered at the right time and said, "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and all the words you give are naturally golden and jade, how dare you be negligent!"

Zhou Zhen also hurriedly cupped his hands, expressing his agreement with Yang Rong's words.

Li Tian was a little speechless, and smiled wryly,

"Hey, you really..."

They act like this, in fact, Li Tian has encountered more and more recently.

It's not that the ministers of the DPRK and China have all started to learn to flatter.

It is Li Tian's vision of future generations. Whether it is the broad knowledge or the occasional whim, it is simply unimaginable for those who are still in the embryonic stage of science.

Some of the opinions that are put forward at random may be like the words of a sage who is enlightened to them.

They are so respectful and flattering, but in fact, most of them are sincere.

He could bear being flattered once or twice, but every day and every moment, he seemed a little impatient.

"Hey, is it wrong to be a genius!"

Ignoring the two of them, he walked towards the last courtyard alone.

Zhou Zhen and Yang Rong looked at each other, unable to understand for a while, "Why, it's just a compliment, why is Your Majesty still angry?"
