The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 38 Roll Up (Please collect, ask for tickets)
"In this way, if the ordnance is damaged on the battlefield, it doesn't need to be sent to the weapon workshop for repair, just replace the damaged parts."

"To the greatest extent, it can solve the problem that the flintlock bayonet and spring steel sheets are easily damaged!"

Standardized production was not created by foreigners. China had it as early as the Qin Dynasty.

It's just a pity that the unworthy descendants lost the treasures left by their ancestors, and in the end they had to learn from the barbarians of Fanbang.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Hongyu brought out the methods of assembly line production and performance wages.

"The production of flintlock guns is really troublesome, but we can let each craftsman specialize in only one process."

"Everyone produces according to standardization!"

"Practice makes perfect, craftsmen will be very familiar with the process they are responsible for, and the production speed will naturally be accelerated."

"At the end, just assemble the parts that conform to the standard, and that's it!"

"In this way, the production efficiency of the weapon workshop will definitely be greatly improved!"

"And, if such a production method is adopted, many apprentices can participate in the production process with a little learning."

"Compared to learning all the processes, it is much easier to learn only one process!"

"In terms of wages, the settlement is also based on the standard of more work, more pay!"

"The more qualified standard parts craftsmen make, the more wages they get, but if the parts are not up to standard, their wages will be deducted."

"In this way, in order to earn more wages, the craftsmen will definitely try their best to produce more and more qualified standard parts."

Assembly line plus standardization, this is the most basic production method of modern factories.

Coupled with management methods such as performance pay, the final effect will definitely not be bad!

While Zhu Hongyu was talking to Old Liu Tou, he wandered around the workshop under the leadership of Old Liu Tou.

Zhu Hongyu convened all the craftsmen and talked about standardized production, assembly line production, and performance wages.

Standardized production and assembly line production they didn't think there was anything, but when Zhu Hongyu took out performance salary and said that the more he worked, the more money he got.

Everyone cheered!
They used to be just craftsmen. When they worked for the court, let alone wages, they couldn't even afford food.

After arriving in Manila, the Spaniards squeezed the Chinese to death.

Although artisans have a higher status than miners, they also don't get wages, they just get enough to eat.

Now they can finally earn the money they deserve!
Having said that, in order to encourage the craftsmen to risk their lives to work for the Liberation Army, Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth to make a promise.

"This general hereby promises that if the Ming Dynasty can be restored in the future, I will not forget your contributions, and will abolish the craftsman registration system, and lift the restrictions on you and your descendants!"

"You are all heroes of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, not lowly craftsmen."

"As long as you can make contributions to the Liberation Army, contribute to the progress and development of science and technology, and make innovations and developments."

"You will be promoted to nobles, rewarded with money and land, you will be honored officials of Ming Dynasty, and your descendants will be able to join the army, take the imperial examination, become officials, and engage in business... Do whatever you want! "

"No one can limit your future anymore!"

As soon as Zhu Hongyu promised to abolish the artisan household system, all the Chinese artisans below were red-eyed.

Many people knelt down on the spot, kowtowed to Zhu Hongyu, and shouted long live!

"Long live the Great General! Long live the revival of Ming Dynasty!"

"Long live the Great General! Long live the revival of Ming Dynasty!"

"..."

The craftsman household system inherited from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties in the Ming Dynasty greatly restricted the autonomy of craftsmen, and to some extent also restricted the development and progress of science and technology.

The craftsman household system stipulates that the children of craftsmen can only be craftsmen, not in business, not in imperial examinations, in the army, or as officials...

In this way, craftsmen have no future to speak of.

Since there is no future anyway, why should they bother to study technology.

Can one day be one day, lie flat and mix it up?
But as soon as Zhu Hongyu abolished his craftsmanship and made his promise to become an official and rank, these craftsmen can only roll up no matter whether it is for themselves or for their descendants!
As the saying goes, only when you roll up can you develop!
After finishing the mobilization of the craftsmen, I watched the craftsmen go to do their own business in full swing.

Zhu Hongyu asked the old Liu Tou beside him.

"Are there any craftsmen who know how to make waterwheels?"

"The river in the valley has plenty of water. If we can use the water power, we can save manpower to a great extent."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Hongyu proposed the concept of hydraulic forging hammer.

The hydraulic forging hammer is driven by hydraulic power, and can directly form a large steel plate hammer into a piece of plate armor.

If there is plate armor that can be equipped, it will greatly make up for the problem that the soldiers of the Restoration Army have no armor!
A Spanish craftsman passing by heard Zhu Hongyu's words, knelt down in front of Zhu Hongyu with a plop, and spoke in half-baked Chinese.

"Nest... nest ash! Nest ash for water conservancy and cooking!"

"As long as you don't kill me, I can make a hydraulic forging hammer for this general!"

Zhu Hongyu showed surprise on his face, it seemed that he was right in keeping these Spanish craftsmen alive.

he asked.

"What's your name? Are you telling the truth?"

The Spanish craftsman nodded desperately and said.

"Your Excellency, my name is Simon Sen. I am just an ordinary craftsman, but I have participated in the manufacture of water conservancy machinery in my hometown."

"What I said is true, how dare I deceive the great general?!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"Simerson, tell me, what do you want?"

"Although you are a prisoner of war, you are a valuable prisoner of war now, and I will not let you do it for nothing!"

Simerson smiled slyly.

"Hey, Your Excellency General, if you can reward your most loyal servant Simerson with a little gold and silver, that would be the best."

"Of course, even if you don't give it, as long as you can keep your most loyal servant Simerson's life safe, Simerson will still have the right to work for you!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded, knowing it in his heart.

Since he is greedy for money, give him money!

If you want someone to work for you, you must not be stingy, and you must give the money that is due!
The last guy who owed money to the people below has already hung himself on the coal mountain...

If Li Zicheng hadn't been laid off by Emperor Chongzhen and lost his iron job in the post station, he would not have embarked on the road of rebellion.

If it weren't for the court's arrears of payment, there would not be so many frontier soldiers who deserted and joined the bandit army in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the end, the rogues became popular and overthrew the Ming Dynasty!
You must know that those elite old soldiers among the rogues were basically from the frontier army of the Ming army.

The imperial court refused to give them food, so they had no choice but to pick up a knife and find food for themselves!
After searching and searching, they lost the Ming Dynasty!

……

All kinds of support!
