Daming Military Empire

Chapter 80 Increasing Production Capacity
Wang Gong Factory used to manufacture gunpowder. After expansion, it became an all-round military factory. It can not only manufacture gunpowder, but also manufacture guns, grenades and landmines. The processing methods are also very comprehensive, such as casting, forging, Machining and other workshops are readily available.

Zhu Cijiong originally thought that a military factory with tens of thousands of people would be enough. After all, a country's economy and military are developing slowly, and it is almost impossible to become a fat man with one bite.But the world is so weird, this time he really became a big fat man in one bite, and he got hundreds of millions of taels of silver in one raid in Nanjing, which he never imagined before.

Now that he has money, he can't develop slowly anymore. He originally thought that as long as he can quell the peasant uprising in his lifetime, and then tidy up the Qing Dynasty, his merits and virtues will be consummated.Now he doesn't think so. The chaotic maritime situation has given him hope. Great powers such as Britain, France, and Russia have just started. If we say that their strength is not as good as the big ones, as long as the problems in the Northwest and Liaodong are quickly resolved, Ming World domination is not impossible.

Once a person has ambition, it will grow wildly like wildfire. After Zhu Cijiong heard Zheng Zhilong's description of the situation at sea, his heart was already a little restless. After a period of growth, his ambition was unstoppable.Dominate the world, conquer the world, the Ming Empire never sets, can't it!

How many things, never anxious.

The world is turning, time is pressing.

1 years is too long, seize the day!
Zhu Cijiong realized that he couldn't wait for a moment. After the court meeting was over, he greeted Cao Huachun, changed into casual clothes, and rushed to Wang Gong's factory with dozens of senior experts.

Song Yingxing was taken aback by Zhu Cijiong who arrived suddenly. He thought that Zhu Cijiong was here for a surprise inspection, but he never thought that this was not the case at all. Zhu Cijiong turned around without saying anything after walking around Wang Gong's factory. gone!
Is he calming down and giving up?Of course not. Expanding the factory and increasing production capacity are not something that can be solved with a few words. There must be a detailed plan. After Zhu Cijiong returned to the palace, he immediately locked himself in the imperial study and began to plan a new military industry system.

The first is the problem of expanding the factory. This problem is not simple. The expansion of the factory requires a large piece of land, but there is no more open space around the Wang Gong factory.

If the new factory is built in other places, there will be a problem of material turnover. In the Ming Dynasty, there were no cars, let alone trains. Even if the new factory was built in the nearest Tianjin Wei, things could not be turned around for a day or two. Come on, this will reduce efficiency.

It is also inappropriate to build the new factory outside the city. Who knows if Huang Taiji will get crazy and launch another big raid. If he is really crazy, then the military factory outside the city is simply a super gift package for him!
How to do it?Ancient people may have headaches, but Zhu Cijiong will not. This problem is simply not a problem for modern people, as long as they have money, it can be solved.If there is no land, the land will be expropriated and demolished. Even if the compensation is based on the price, those common people have nothing to say. Who calls him the emperor?

Zhu Cijiong is not ordinary rich now, so he decided to double it; and if he wants to levy a bigger levy, considering that the artillery will be built soon, doubling the space may not be enough, so he decided to directly expand it to the original four times!In this way, the entire Wanggong Factory occupies the southwest corner of the inner city, and there is no need to build the walls on the west and south sides, because the west and south sides are directly the city walls!
Zhu Cijiong directly drew a square frame with Wang Gongchang as the center on the map of the capital, and he didn't have to worry about the next thing. With Jin Yiwei clearing the field and double compensation, he didn't believe anyone would dare not move.As for the internal planning of the factory, Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang and others should also be convened to discuss together. The problem of expansion can only be done like this for the time being, and the next step is to increase production.

Zhu Cijiong was a craft engineer in an arsenal in his previous life, and it was not easy for him to increase the output of weapons. After he went to Wang Gong's factory, he was confident.

To improve production efficiency, we must first work hard on management. 1 people produce [-] new flintlock guns a month. This seems to be a simple mathematical problem, but it is not.

People get tired. You can't expect every worker to work like a machine. Human energy and physical strength are limited. When a person is full of energy and physical strength, he can do things with half the effort. A person's energy and physical strength are almost exhausted, and doing things will get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, a reasonable arrangement of working hours can improve production efficiency;
There is also a problem of proficiency in the production of parts. Not everyone can skillfully operate all machine tools and produce all parts. If he is assigned to a suitable position, then he will naturally produce parts extremely fast. If an inappropriate person is assigned to an inappropriate position, he may not be able to produce a single part in a day;

There are also differences between people. Everyone has different enthusiasm for work. Some people can find work spontaneously and consciously. It is necessary to allow highly motivated workers to lead low-motivated workers to work, so that both of them can make achievements. If you let low-motivated workers lead high-motivated workers to work, then both of them will be useless.

Of course, this is only a small part. The management of a factory is very complicated. If we want to explain everything clearly, then another book can be published.

After Zhu Cijiong walked around Wang Gong's factory, he found that Song Yingxing's work enthusiasm was still very high, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry's Ministry of Industry and Civil Affairs were also very responsible, but the enthusiasm of the workers below was not fully mobilized.

This problem was mainly caused by the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty. There were only so many officials in the Bureau of Cleaning up Officials of the Ministry of Industry, and it was impossible for other ordinary workers to have official positions, so there was an official who was in charge of hundreds or even thousands of people. Condition!This is a bit unreasonable. How much energy a person can have, not to mention staring at thousands of people to work, is simply impossible. It is impossible for you to arrange the daily work of thousands of people. This caused a serious waste of personnel, because many people didn't know what he was going to do!

Naturally, Zhu Cijiong couldn’t be troubled by this problem. If you don’t have a formal official position, you can only decide the position but not the grade. The salary of the management personnel in the factory can be set lower than that of Congjiupin, but there is no rule that you can’t pay bonuses. Give them piecework. The performance salary should be paid as a bonus or not.

Zhu Cijiong shamelessly embezzled the modern factory management model. He didn't even have to name the positions, and directly appointed five internal management positions in the factory: team leader, squad leader, section chief, supervisor, and manager.

One team leader leads five ordinary workers, one squad leader leads five team leaders, one section chief leads five squad leaders, one supervisor leads five section leaders, and one manager leads two or three supervisors.Calculated in this way, there are more than 20 people in a class, and more than 100 people in a department. One supervisor can manage five or six hundred people, and one manager can manage thousands of people. The work is very easy, and no one should try to be lazy.

With the implementation of this system, not to mention doubling the work efficiency, it is more than enough to increase it by [-]%.
