As the Minister of Works, Zeng Jian was naturally most interested in improving the production methods of the Ministry of Works.

He knew Zhao Ce.

This person has great medical skills. He can easily cure the plagues that no one has been able to cure for thousands of years.

Not only medical skills.

This person is also very talented, and he has the halo of the first person in the imperial examination who passed the sixth year.

By the way.

He also knows very well about overseas affairs.

Such people point fingers at the affairs of their Ministry of Works, and they don’t feel offended at all.

Instead, they all opened their studious eyes and looked at listening with a look of scrutiny.

Zhao Ce came to his senses and looked at these people looking for talented people, and couldn't help but smile.

"Instrumentation line operation, this is the practice of using pre-Qin to produce weapons."

"Have you ever heard of it?"

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the leaders of the Ministry of Works.

As the boss of the Ministry of Works, Zeng Jian said embarrassedly: "I am ignorant..."

In fact, Zeng Jian has also seen it in books.

But after Qin, no one has used this method.

So he did not go deeper into it, and would not specifically use the ancient production methods.

Instead, they use a method they thought was more advanced than the ancients.

Now that Zhao Ce said this, it seems that the ancients were much more advanced than their Ming Dynasty...

Indeed, there was assembly line operation during the Qin Dynasty.

The operation methods at that time were basically not much different from modern assembly line operations.

Complex large weapons require a lot of parts to assemble.

The creation of these parts sometimes takes hundreds of processes.

So our smart pre-Qin people invented assembly line operations.

Each part or one of the processes is the responsibility of the designated person.

After the parts are finished, you can summarize and assemble them.

This can save a lot of production time and better solve the disadvantages of huge differences in weapons created by different proficiency between new and old players.

And this also has another advantage.

Once the weapon is damaged, just determine the location of the damage.

Then you can use the corresponding parts to replace them.

Instead of the entire building being repaired like the current bomber-explosive cannon.

With such an advanced production method, Zhao Ce didn't know why Qin Hou was abandoned.

But what is certain is that this mode of production is the best method of production that has been verified by modern society.

However, after the dynasty changes, many of these excellent inheritances have not been continued.

Actually, this is easy to understand.

Just like when Zhao Ce first started learning articles, Li Xiucai once taught him.bΙＱμＧètν.còＭ

The current writing is the current style of writing.

It is different from ancient Chinese.

You can learn how to write ancient Chinese and borrow some of them.

But he cannot directly return to ancient times and write it into ancient Chinese.

The same is probably the same?

Zhao Ce briefly explained this method to everyone.

"The advantage of assembly line production is that a dedicated person is responsible for a certain process."

"This way of production saves time and labor costs, etc., needless to say."

"But production standards must be set in advance."

"For example, the diameter and thickness of the cannon are required to be clearly specified."

"After the regulations are made, everyone must make the rules."

"In this way, the production of firearms will definitely be much faster than now, and it can eliminate many quality problems caused by proficiency."

and.

With relevant regulations, it indicates that these craftsmen also clearly have to assume corresponding responsibilities.

Once problems arise again, the court will hold them accountable to the end.

Instead of being like now.

Because blowing up a chamber is common, even the directly affiliated work department will not hold it accountable.

This will also directly lead to the craftsmen who build weapons taking an irresponsible attitude and just living by the way.

Because even if they make unqualified weapons, they will not be punished.

Relative.

Even if they make better weapons, they won't be rewarded.

So this also makes those craftsmen perfunctory often.

Therefore, once this production method is implemented, it will definitely benefit many things for the construction of Ming weapons.

The more Zeng Jian listened to Zhao Ce's words, the more feasible he felt.

He said happily: "This method is absolutely feasible!"

"Thank you for your advice from Dingxi Hou!"

After Zeng Jian finished speaking, other officials from the Ministry of Works bowed and bowed to Zhao Ce.

After listening, Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized.

"So this is assembly line production..."

"As you say, it does feel better than what we are doing today."

Zhao Ce nodded and said, "But in this way, the workers will bear more responsibilities."

"So accordingly, their treatment must be improved."

Improved salary?

When asked about the issue of treatment, the smile on the faces of the people who were still happy just now froze.

The head of the Ministry of Works held it in a while before he could say something.

"This treatment... needs to be improved?"

He glanced at Zeng Jian.

Although Zeng Jian didn't have much expression on his face, he became much more serious.

The state has always been short of money.

Last year, I barely raised enough money for disaster relief and squeezed out a sum of money to study new weapons for their Ministry of Works.

But this money is not much.

If we really want to improve the treatment of craftsmen, even if their Ministry of Works agrees, other departments will probably not agree.

After all, the craftsmen had a very bad status in their Ming Dynasty.

Although the workers rank ahead of the business.

But to be honest, craftsmen are really not as good as merchants.

After all, although the businessman has no status, he still has a bit of a stinking smell of money.

So Zeng Jian didn't dare to say it right directly about this matter.

He could only say: "I will report to His Majesty to discuss with the cabinet and see what their opinions are."

Zhao Ce didn't say much about the treatment of the Ministry of Works' own personnel.

So I didn't say this anymore.

Assembly line operations can definitely be done.

But before that, the Ministry of Works had to set relevant standards.
To be continued...
