Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 439 The Efficiency Is Not Good

But now that Li Yun came to check and rectify it, if Li Yun's people found that the weapons were unqualified, I'm afraid that he, the young mansion supervisor, would have come to an end.

So when he returns to the second round of the Manufacturing Bureau, he needs to talk about it, and the weapons they produce must ensure better quality.

There must be no sloppy.

Not long after, Lu Chengzhi returned to the second bureau of the manufacturing bureau, and then seriously told his subordinates that in the recent period, he did not demand quantity, but quality, and to produce qualified swords.

If it is found that the weapons produced by someone are substandard, they will be severely punished.

……

Production Bureau [-] and [-] are very close to each other, separated by a wall.

According to the information provided by Lu Chengzhi and Fan Yang, there are a total of 89 craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau, and they can make all kinds of weapons and siege equipment.

In addition, there are nearly [-] apprentices, basically each craftsman has three or four apprentices.

There are more craftsmen in the second bureau of the manufacturing bureau, with a total of 420 people and [-] apprentices.

There are more people in the second production bureau, and naturally, the monthly output is also higher.

However, Li Yun checked the output of the two units and found that the output of the second manufacturing bureau far exceeded that of the first manufacturing bureau. This was not just a problem of large numbers of people.

Instead, the average output of each craftsman in the second round of manufacturing is higher.

Relatively speaking, the craftsmen in the first round of manufacturing can produce two big knives per day, while the output of each craftsman in the second round of manufacturing can probably reach seven big knives in three days.

In other words, the craftsmen of the second round of manufacturing can produce one more weapon every three days.

Li Yun was a little curious, but he didn't say much. He planned to check and then solve the problem.

Not long after, Li Yun led a group of soldiers and entered the first round of the manufacturing bureau.

Fan Yang had been waiting early, he called his lord, and then said that he could lead Li Yun to inspect this area.

Li Yun smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fan, for your kindness, but I don't need you to follow, you can do your own work, I have nothing to do here."

Fan Yang's face changed slightly when he heard this, "My lord...this..."

"Don't worry, there is something, you can be busy."

Fan Yang was still a little unwilling, Li Yun smiled and said: "Then you arrange a small official to lead the way."

This time, Fan Yang felt relieved, and he hastily agreed.

In this way, a young official led Li Yun to visit the manufacturing bureau.

The inspection started from the warehouse. There were purchased iron ore in the warehouse. Li Yun had obtained the relevant information of iron ore from the system before.

Because of Xiao Yu's suggestion, he didn't contribute, but he is not a novice in this area, he might know more than Fan Yang.

Li Yun touched the iron ore and found that these ores were relatively old, that is to say, they were excavated, but they had been stored for a long time.

Such iron ore is naturally easier to oxidize, and the iron loss in it is also relatively severe.

When sold on the market, the price of such iron ore is about [-]% cheaper than that of freshly excavated iron ore.

Just like restaurants in later generations, they usually go to buy some leftovers in the evening, and this iron ore is the same.

In terms of raw materials, it starts to save money.

Li Yun narrowed his eyes, then waved and said, "Show me the ledger of imported ore."

Fear flashed in the eyes of the little official in charge of the record, and then tremblingly handed the ledger to Li Yun.

Li Yun took a look and found that all these ores were purchased at the price of fresh ores.

There is no doubt that there is a back deal here.

He smiled lightly, nodded, and didn't say much, then he looked at the account book carefully.

It is found that in addition to procurement, there are also problems in depreciation and loss.

The so-called loss refers to the loss caused by ore purchase and transportation, or the loss caused by craftsmen who are sometimes unsuccessful in manufacturing.

Just like tax silver, there is generally a loss of [-]%.

The 8000 tax silver was sent to Chang'an from the local government, and in the end there were only [-] taels.

This is loss.

In ancient times, due to inconvenient transportation, it was actually quite normal to have losses.

However, Li Yun found that the loss of this manufacturing round was a bit too much.

Although there are no rules, he can basically see that the monthly loss is about ten tons, which means about one hundred thousand yuan.

Li Yun looked at the ledger and sneered in his heart.

At this time, a handyman asked for iron ore, and the warehouse clerk then began to record it, then weighed it, and finally put the iron ore in a bamboo basket, and the handyman transported it away.

Li Yun glanced at the weighing scale, and didn't say much, but secretly remembered it in his heart.

Undoubtedly, this place is another place where you can profit from it. The scale loses one hundred catties every day, and there is no problem at all.

It is difficult for others to find out, but in Li Yun's eyes, these behaviors are pediatrics.

There are also handymen who come to fetch iron ore, and it is not impossible for them to stuff a little in their trouser pockets.

"My lord, do you still want to inspect?"

The little official who followed Li Yun was much relieved, he didn't think Li Yun could see anything.

In fact, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and even the former Yuanwai Lang, often come to inspect, but they don't understand iron ore or those little tricks, so they can't find any problems at all.

Li Yun smiled, "No need, let's go."

After a while, the little official brought Li Yun to the place where the weapons were smelted.

Craftsmen put the iron ore into the boiler, then began to grind it, and finally turned it into a knife.

This step is still very important, the old craftsman has been watching, there are three or four young people beside him, some are burning firewood, some are constantly stirring the boiler, and some are turning the boiler.

In general, everyone is busy, and everyone has their own work to do.

Old craftsmen also need to keep an eye on them all the time.

After the iron is formed, it is then struck with a sledgehammer. At the beginning of this process, a few young people are involved, but the subsequent procedures will be handed over to the old craftsmen.

Li Yun also didn't understand. The old craftsman said that the young people didn't know the heat and couldn't control their strength.

And they can judge from the hardness of the percussion, whether to increase the strength, whether to change the direction, or whether to continue the percussion.

Li Yun felt that what the old craftsman said was a bit evil, but everyone said so, so he took it as such.

After all, he had no better way but to listen to others.

The old craftsman was in charge of the final procedure, and he didn't know how many hundreds of times he knocked. Anyway, at least two hours, and then a big knife was formed.

The old craftsman asked people to put it aside first. He said that in the evening, someone would come to register and collect it.

Li Yun estimated that according to the old craftsman's speed, he could probably hit two big swords a day.

The speed of the craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau is about the same, that is to say, they can only produce about 170 crafts a day, and [-] crafts a month.

There are [-] in three months. Calculated in this way, it seems that the task of making [-] swords in three months for the Manufacturing Bureau can be completed.
