Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 96 Reorganization of Flour Mills

Speaking back to Zhu Chuanwen, it is beautiful to live leisurely every day. Recently, he found that his feeling is right. His memory has really improved, or it may have been particularly good at the beginning, but there are many things around him, so he didn't realize it.

When I read the newspaper, I treat it as current affairs, I don’t remember it by heart, and I don’t notice it.

This was discovered during the interview with the English tutor hired by Chuanjie.

"Hello, Mr. Horn." Zhu Chuanwen was dressed in a formal suit and met Nando Horn in the living room of his home.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu!" Horn was very embarrassed.

He was contacted through the middle school. He is a British man in his 30s with some vicissitudes.

It is said that the middle school will also offer English classes. Nando Horn came here for an interview after finding out the news. It is not known whether the school is accepted or not, but he first found a private job with Zhu Chuanwen.

The result of the interview was very smooth. It can be seen from the conversation that this person is considered a savage and has no teaching methods. He just holds an "Oxford Dictionary" and plans to start teaching from the alphabet.

Zhu Chuanwen wanted to wait a little longer, but thinking about it, although many Russians came to Bingcheng, there were very few British.

After thinking about it, I agreed.

I flipped through a few pages of Nando Horn's dictionary and memorized the words of Ichiyo, and the matter was settled like this.

Every night, Chuanjie, Xia's brothers and sisters, and Zhu Xiaowan had an English class for an hour in the small classroom in the Hanyao Flour Mill office building.Zhu Chuanwen still made a request to Nando Horn, that is, to talk more about British affairs, from food to drama, anything is fine.

Nando Horn also nodded in agreement.

A few days later, when Zhu Chuanwen thought of the words on that page, all the words appeared in his mind.This immediately surprised him.Maybe he can learn another foreign language, Zhu Chuanwen thought to himself.

Later, Zhu Chuanwen came to take classes every day, and the English teacher always stared resentfully at the man sitting at the end of the classroom flipping through his dictionary.

Because since the arrival of this man, the English teacher has to prepare another class every day, and it is not his turn to use the dictionary during class time.

Nando Horn didn't dare to offend Zhu Chuanwen. The British who could come to China to apply for a job must come because they couldn't get along in the country. He could see that Zhu Chuanwen had a big business in Bingcheng.

This Hanyao flour is now the best-selling product in Bingcheng. Compared with the flour shipped by foreign companies, it is cheap enough. Compared with the flour sold by China Grain Store, it has a more delicate taste.

In this way, Zhu Chuanwen went to inspect the flour mill during the day and went home to learn English at night, which made his life full again.

Regarding the management of the flour mill, Zhu Chuanwen also found out many hidden dangers.

First of all, the boiler room is irregular. I don’t know if the Russians kept it or what. The workers in the boiler room have not been told what the meter means. The workers now only know that when the meter is red, they cannot add coal.When the marker pointer is down, you have to add coal.

The boiler room is the most important source of power for the flour mill, and the workers who work in it don't even know what the meters mean.

But Zhu Chuanwen was so angry that he brought in Taxia, an engineer who had cooperated with him before. After discussing and writing down the eight major matters that should be paid attention to in the work of the boiler room, they posted them in black and white in the operating room of the boiler room.

He also played tricks. Zhu Chuanwen told the workers that if someone recites the meeting within three days, they will be rewarded with 3 silver dollars.

This stimulated more than 20 people working in the boiler room. Wu Xiucai, a literacy teacher in the factory, became a favorite again. He was directly invited to the boiler room and explained to them one by one what the above meant.

I have to say that Wu Xiucai is really good at literacy now. Three days later, in the boiler room of the factory, every worker who didn't know a few big characters could recite them by heart, and they could even tell what they meant.

Zhu Chuanwen also cheerfully distributed 3 silver dollars to each person, and told them that learning to memorize is the first step, and that they should memorize these precautions before work every day, and the second step is to avoid committing crimes.

Everyone thought that there was still money to be made for the second step, and all of them stared at Zhu Chuanwen with burning eyes.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Chuanwen said that if he or other foremen were caught violating precautions, one silver dollar of wages would be deducted, which made everyone vigilant immediately.

Every time before working, you have to think about whether what you are doing violates the rules.

The second is the environmental problem of the iron mill workshop.

Under the 12 iron mills, there are buckets for receiving flour. This part has to be manually operated. Most of the workers in the factory are here, and the flour in the buckets is put into cloth bags, which is regarded as the completion of flour production.

In the future, the roughly formed flour will be transported to the weighing workshop, where there will be a scale to control it. The total weight of each bag of flour is 100 catties, and any excess will be refunded and any deficiency will be compensated.

But the hard work of pouring the flour bag from the bucket will cause the flour to fly.The machine-ground flour is indeed fine enough, which causes the entire workshop to inhale flour when loading and unloading flour.If things go on like this, health problems will appear.

With the help of Xian'er, he used many kinds of cotton cloth and finally made a mask that met Zhu Chuanwen's wishes.

With this sample, the job was contracted to a silk and satin shop.Each mask is 10 copper plates, because the cotton cloth used is the best.

Coincidentally, after silk and satin village delivered the masks, it caught up with the day when the flour mill rested every four months, which was to overhaul the steam engine.

Originally, according to Xia Yuanzhang's plan, wages were just paid today.

And Zhu Chuanwen intends to take this opportunity to promote masks to the whole factory, and there are two regulations at the same time.

In the open space of the flour mill, Zhu Chuanwen held a big iron horn in his hand.

"This is a mask!" Zhu Chuanwen first showed the workers how to wear it.

The workers below looked at Zhu Chuanwen wearing a mask and thought it was funny, but they didn't dare to laugh.After all, this is their boss.

Immediately, Zhu Chuanwen told the workers that they had to wear them during working hours, and if they found out they didn't wear them, one silver dollar would be deducted.

It's hard to tell the truth, but it's more practical to deduct money.

Zhu Chuanwen's promotion method is simple and rude, but the effect is surprisingly good.

Workers come one by one to receive this month’s wages, and each person can receive two masks. Two masks will be issued in the first month, and one will be issued every month thereafter. The workers are told that every two days After cleaning once, one silver dollar will be deducted if it is found that it has not been washed all year round.

At this time, the workers were pure in their minds. They only thought that this was the owner’s request, and they could just do it. Who knew that Zhu Chuanwen was thinking about their health. In this way, Zhu Chuanwen’s Hanyao Flour Factory became the earliest attention in Bingcheng. Factories with healthy workers are unique in this age of oppression and exploitation.

After talking about the masks, Zhu Chuanwen announced two more rules.

1. In the future, in the factory, no matter which workshop you work in, you are not allowed to smoke in the workshop.

2. In the future, as long as you enter the factory, you are not allowed to spit anywhere.

The factory will also set up a safety inspection brigade in the future, under the charge of Xiong Zhen, Zhu Chuanwen's guard, to conduct spot checks on all the above behaviors at any time from time to time.
