Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 280 Craftsmanship reform, one thousand armors in one month!
With the implementation of water hammer transfer, the original craftsman camp system is no longer applicable.

Although the Craftsman Camp was founded by Yuan Tan, it was only used to create the objects produced by the system at that time, and it was only a temporary expedient method.

It is not so much a military camp as it is a small private workshop.

It's just that this workshop is backed by the big tree of Yuan Tan, with a backstage, connections, raw materials and manpower, they don't need to worry about it all.

That's why we can achieve such high-efficiency production work.

However, water hammer turning is not something that can be driven by a small workshop.

Among other things, there are currently two water hammer transfer cars built outside Xuzhou City. As time goes by, according to Xun Yu's previous investigations outside the city, the return.

There are at least twelve or thirteen places suitable for building water hammer transfer vehicles, in other words, in another two or three months.

Fifteen water hammer transfer cars can be built in just one city of Xuzhou City.

According to Yuan Tan's estimation, a water hammer car can produce at least four to five hundred nail blades every day.

These large blades also need to be cut and polished by hand by craftsmen to make one piece after another of medium and small blades suitable for splicing into armor.

Although these processes are not difficult, the key is that they are cumbersome.

If you still follow the previous small workshop model, a group of people will go up and get a first-version leaf for cutting.

Finally, putting them all together is actually a huge waste of manpower.

Therefore, for this reform of the craftsmanship system, Yuan Tan is also preparing to establish regulations. The first thing is to restore the assembly line production method.

According to Yuan Tan's words.

From today onwards, the craftsman camp will be changed to Jiangzuoyuan.

It is directly under the administration of Qihou Mansion, and will be the dean of the academy, and the salary is comparable to that of an official with eight hundred stones.

Served by Jiang Qi.

Under the dean, there are five honorary master craftsmen, and all technical matters, including the forging of military equipment, farm tools, etc., are entrusted to them.

Jiang Qi's task is to supervise and prevent the craftsmen in the General Academy from contacting outsiders in private, and reselling important technologies in the General Academy.

And communicate with Yuan Tan in time to report back and so on.

The salary of the five honorary masters is the same as that of the dean of the General Academy, with an annual salary of [-] shi.

Moreover, according to the different directions that the masters are good at, they are divided into five directions: general affairs masters, farm implements masters, bow and crossbow masters, armor masters, and military equipment masters.

This name is only tentative, and it can be adjusted continuously in the future, whether it is added or deleted, it is up to Yuan Tan to judge.

Below the five honorary master craftsmen, they are divided into five levels according to the technical level of the craftsmen.

Apprentice, journeyman, third-level craftsman, second-level craftsman, first-level craftsman.

Apprentices have no monthly salary, only two dan per meter, which is just enough to support their families.

A skilled worker earns one hundred dollars a month and three stones of rice.

For level three craftsmen, the monthly salary will increase by one hundred each month.

In addition, Yuan Tan specially offered rewards in order to encourage the craftsmen of the General Academy to innovate in technology.

Like the bronze gear that Lin Laoji and Huang Laosan came up with before, this level of technological innovation will receive a reward of [-] yuan.

"To put it simply, rewards are issued based on the improvement of efficiency."

While talking, Yuan Tan was thinking about the corresponding regulations, and the craftsmen below heard their eyes shine.

"Anyone who can improve the efficiency of the original tools by [-]% will be rewarded with [-] yuan."

"If the efficiency is increased by more than [-]% and less than [-]%, a reward of [-] will be given."

Yuan Tan nodded at the gear mold that Huang Laosan had just brought up, and said with a smile:

"If the masters have something that can double or more our production efficiency, the reward will be even higher. If it is doubled, the reward will be 20. If it is more than doubled, after testing, it can indeed be implemented on a large scale. , even if it’s up to me to make the decision, it’s not a bad idea to ask the master for the title of Marquis of Guannei!”

Whoa!
Hearing Yuan Tan's words, the craftsmen of the craftsman camp, no, the craftsmen who should be called Jiangzuoyuan now couldn't sit still.

Again.

Those who can be selected by Yuan Tan to join the craftsman camp, apart from those apprentices, who now have the reputation of a master craftsman, which one does not have a few crafts at the bottom of the box?
They dare not expect extravagant titles like Marquis of Guannei.

But it is not impossible to take it out and exchange it for tens of thousands of rewards!
Looking at the craftsmen who were completely mobilized, Yuan Tan smiled slightly, but then turned serious and said:
"However, this empress' ugly words must be brought to the fore. Since all the craftsmen have entered my General Academy, then they must be loyal. If anyone spreads the technology of the General Academy to the outside, then don't blame me. You're welcome!"

After saying this, Jiang Qi, who had been standing behind Yuan Tan, stepped forward at the right time, held down the long knife at his waist, looked directly at the craftsmen below, and said in a deep voice:
"We are waiting for an order. From now on, the courtyard will be under military control, and a special area will be set aside for the residence of the craftsmen and their families. The craftsmen and their families are not allowed to go out unless it is necessary. Anyone who comes into contact with outsiders will be treated as spies." imprison!"

Hearing Jiang Qi's words, the originally excited hearts of the craftsmen below calmed down, and they all stood in awe, bowed and promised:

"I'll obey!"

Looking at the master craftsmen bowing to take orders, Yuan Tan's expression softened slightly, he nodded, and led the crowd into the water hammer workshop.

As soon as they entered the water hammer workshop, Yuan Tan was fine, but literati like Xun Yu and Chen Deng all looked a little uncomfortable.

Although the main power source of the water hammer workshop is water power, the iron ore is smelted into raw iron and needs to be calcined in a furnace.

Therefore, the temperature in the water hammer workshop is much higher than outside.

But fortunately, whether it is Xun Yu or Chen Deng, even Zhuge Jin, who is really powerless, is a person of firm temperament.

He quickly adapted to the temperature in the workshop and followed Yuan Tan's gaze towards the water hammer turntable.

Just by looking at it, they could no longer take their eyes away.

But in the workshop, a huge forging hammer is tied to the lever, and an extra-large bucket is connected to the other end of the waterwheel.

When the waterwheel turns, the bucket is quickly filled by the river water washed by the torrent, and the weight increases.

The heavy hammer at the other end of the lever was pulled up high, and when the hammer was pulled to a certain height, the mechanism of the water hammer forging car was triggered, and the bucket filled with water below the stopper was released instantly, and the river water inside was released. Instantly let go.

Under the leverage effect, the hammer weighing more than [-] jin quickly fell down.

It fell heavily on the red-hot iron block, sparks burst out, and only a few loud bangs were heard.

That piece of raw iron was smashed into a compact and flat iron plate!

"This... what an amazing speed!"

Even with Xun Yu's knowledge, after seeing the efficiency of the water hammer to turn the car, he couldn't help but be surprised!

And Chen Deng at the side couldn't even speak.

The Xun family and the Chen family are both big families in the local prefectures and counties, and iron workshops are also equipped in their family manors.

As heroes in the family, they would visit the family manor every year and have seen the workshop in action.

It is precisely because I have seen the efficiency of the original iron workshop in this era.

After seeing this scene, the shock I feel will be even greater!
On the contrary, Zhuge Jin, who has always been a heir to farming and studying, did not have such a deep feeling for the efficiency of this water hammer turning car. After thinking for a while, he said slowly:
"If this efficiency is followed, even if there are only two water hammers in operation, I can produce at least [-] pieces of armor in one month in Xuzhou!"

"Five hundred pieces?"

Hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Yuan Tan smiled and said lightly:
"Ziyu said too little, one hundred and five pieces a month, how can I catch up with my plan? In my opinion, this water hammer workshop, a month, a workshop, at least have to produce a thousand sets of conventional armor. It is qualified!"
