Chapter 250 Improving the Treatment of Craftsmen
"Life is worthless in troubled times. The salary my brother gave is high enough, but high salary has its benefits. Our soldiers are paid high salaries, and all of them are loyal, but how to solve the problem of food?" Bian Xiang asked.

Chailin laughed and said: "The poor tenant farmers are the ones who are short of food. The food in the rich man's house has killed the rats. There is a local agent of our caravan called Shan Shiqi. His family has a lot of food, and he can help Buy some. Remember, you must buy aged sorghum rice, not new rice.”

Wu Yong nodded to show that he understood that old-fashioned sorghum rice loves worms, and only those who are in real trouble at home will eat it. If they buy good rice, it is inevitable that some people will take the rice and stop working, and make themselves angry in vain.

This is the second task assigned to Wu Yong, let's see if he can handle it well.

Wu Yong and Bian Xiang led more than a dozen capable men, dressed up as a caravan, and went to Shanxi Road to recruit personnel.

The two of them had fully experienced the power of Chai Lin along the way. Starting from Cangzhou and heading west all the way, there was a big car shop of the Four Seas Car Co., Ltd. every few tens of miles on the side of the road, and they often saw mule carts passing by quickly.The manpower and material resources consumed in the early stage are still very large, and the flow of passengers and goods is not enough to support profitability. At most, it can only be mixed with neither win nor loss.

Wu Yong said: "The mule carts of the big cart shop can reach Luquan Town in Zhending Prefecture, so it is much more convenient to transport young men. Seven or eight carts are dispatched to more than 50 people every day without attracting any attention."

"The military adviser is right. It is true that my brother's vision is far beyond ordinary people. The seemingly unintentional layout has long been thought out." Bian Xiang said.

Wu Yong is very intelligent, Bian Xiang is superb in martial arts, and there are more than a dozen capable subordinates to assist him. It is not a problem to recruit some strong people.

Just after the Spring Festival, Lu Ling happily returned to work in the workshop.

Lu Ling is the lead worker of Chaijiazhuang Woodware Erfang. Lu Ling's team has been in charge of producing hand-operated washing machines. The machine is really good. With some soap powder added, the clothes can be washed seven or eight times by hand. into clean.However, with the arrival of spring, the sales of hand-operated washing machines almost stopped. At that time, the workers were startled, thinking: It's over, the job I just looked for is gone.

The result was unexpected. As soon as the hand-cranked washing machine stopped, it immediately began to process new accessories. The workers processed two-meter-five-meter-long hard square firewood every day, and drilled holes with chisels in the marked places. Don’t talk about old carpenters for such a simple matter. Even new apprentices can learn it in a few days.Like the hand-cranked washing machine, the workshop is very confidential, and each group does what each group does, and no one knows what they are doing.

At noon that day, the supervisor called Lu Ling over.

The supervisor's guest room is also quite simple, with a desk, a coffee table, and a few mazzas.

The supervisor brewed some tea, poured a cup for Lu Ling, and said, "We have fewer craftsmen in the second carpentry workshop, and we are not as good as the second Tiangong camp, or the first carpentry workshop, but hundreds of people have to eat, and it is the common rice bowl for everyone. I have applied for an artifact from the owner, and I need the most experienced craftsmen to operate it, how about you?"

Lu Ling smiled and said: "I know my own situation, so don't put a high hat on me. I can barely be called a carpenter at this level. It's nonsense to say how skilled it is. If you have any work, you can arrange it, and I promise to finish it." Task."

"Okay, that's all you're waiting for, follow me." The supervisor led Lu Ling to a newly set up workshop.

Lu Ling took a look and saw that the workshop was very small, with a set of strange-looking machines, and an operator was burning a boiler.

The supervisor said: "This is called a woodworking machine tool. It is driven by a camel machine. It has three functions of sawing, planing and drilling. It is specially used for processing square wood."

Speaking of which, the supervisor asked the operator to turn on the pot machine, and with the roar, the belt drove the circular saw on the machine tool.Circular saws turn very fast.Fine wood for processing ferris wheel waterwheels.The supervisor picked up a three-meter-long log, pushed it from the circular saw a few times, and it turned into a three-meter-long square log in a quarter of an hour, and even planed it with a saw band.

"It's too fast, powerful, powerful, this machine can support the speed of [-] workers." Lu Ling said in admiration.

The supervisor said: "Now our workshop has 100 people working from morning to night, and the daily output is no more than ten waterwheels, and the middle shaft is processed by BIE Tiangong's second battalion. The owner hopes that after our workshop is equipped with this machine, the output will increase. Up to twenty units per day."

Lu Ling suddenly realized: "It turns out that what we built is a waterwheel."

"Yes, the ferris wheel's waterwheel is used to fight drought and irrigate the ground. This is not a secret. We don't make core parts. Now the order has been arranged to [-] units. It will be completed in mid-March, which will only take two months." said the supervisor.

"In this way, I will learn how to use the machine first, and then I will teach someone else. The two of us will work in shifts a day." Lu Ling said.

Woodworking Erfang mainly produces ferris wheel waterwheels with a diameter of four meters, five meters and six meters in diameter. Of course, they can also make larger ones, but the bigger they are, the less stable they will be, and the sturdiness and durability will not work. .If you are not afraid of spending money, you can order a waterwheel with a diameter of up to ten meters.

Another 25 workers were recruited in the workshop. Due to the use of new machine tools, the daily output unexpectedly increased to [-] machines.

At the beginning of March, when the salary was settled, Lu Ling was dumbfounded, and he was a little dumbfounded seeing the three pennies in his hand.

"I can't make a mistake. It used to be [-] Wen a month. Why are there so many this time?" Lu Ling asked.

The accountant said: "Eight hundred yuan is the salary of a mechanic. Now you are a machine tool operator, and your salary is half the same, and the overtime pay is six hundred yuan. You brought an apprentice to reward you for one consistent, which is exactly three consistent. Not only your wages have increased, Even the [-] Wen January apprenticeship industry has increased by [-] Wen."

"Okay, thank you very much." Lu Ling was very moved. The craftsmen he recruited from Qingzhou couldn't survive in the local area.There is nothing to say about food and housing, and giving back so much money.

This kind of water wheel and water wheel is very common in the south, and it is called drum car, water wheel car and so on.But it is relatively rare in the north. This year caught up with the spring drought, and the sales of waterwheel vehicles are booming. In Cangzhou alone, more than 300 vehicles were sold.Other dealers also sell a lot, but the quantity is far less than that of Cangzhou.

After returning from looking for new crops, Chai Lin trained in the township barracks for more than a month, thinking that it was time to go out for a walk, looking around to see if there were any special talents, and at the same time, Chai Lin planned to visit his uncle.

In the evening, Chai Lin came to the reconnaissance camp to look for Chai Meng.

"Mengzi, pack up your things, let's go out tonight." Chailin said.

Chai Meng was very happy and said, "Okay, I'll prepare right away. I haven't gone out with my brother for a long time. The last time my brother went overseas, he didn't take me with him."

"If you go out, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious service, and you will get more money if you make meritorious deeds. I will take you with you every time, and others will have opinions. Besides, the reconnaissance battalion you lead is very important, so you can't leave it for too long." Chailin explained.

"I understand, brother later." Chai Meng went back to pack his things.

The two packages brought a lot of things, and they were still familiar routines and familiar smells.The gold silk soft armor and the snowflake iron knife are used to recruit generals.Pine pattern sword, this is a gift for scribes.Of course, there are also a few bags, each of which is filled with broken silver, like 30 taels.

Taking advantage of the dark night, the two set off, started their God-walking shoes, and ran quickly. Now they are getting more and more proficient, and before midnight, they have already arrived outside Gaotang City. Chai Lin said: "It's so late, it's not good. I'm looking for an inn, if it doesn't work, the two of us can climb over the wall and get in."
