Crossing town house man and wife

The method Wu Ming intends to use is only two words: full-time.

Wu Ming entrusted Aunt Lao to be in charge of picking people, and then asked for the yard where he lived before, and used it as a factory and dormitory for the textile workers.

Times have changed, and Wu Ming is no longer interested in taking another yard to vent his anger, but it is absolutely impossible to move back to live.In the spirit of making the best use of everything, as soon as he thought of finding a place to work for the coming female workers, Wu Ming remembered the yard and went there to go around and remove all the useless furniture. Make room for the spinning wheel.

He prepared the yard, and Aunt Lao brought out the chosen ones.

The people Aunt Lao picked out were not all maids, there were also a few women in their thirties.

Because the spinning wheel and loom that Wu Ming wanted had to be made according to the drawings, and it would take a day or two at the earliest to deliver them, after the twenty women came, Wu Ming did not let them use the existing spinning wheel and weaving machine. The machine went to spin and weave, and first took out the wool I asked for from Yan Heng, and asked Aunt Lao to teach them to knit sweaters first.

When he first studied wool weaving, Wu Ming could not directly contact the women in the artisan camp, so he taught the knitting skills to Aunt Lao and others, and then they taught other women.

In fact, Wu Ming has never knitted a real sweater, but when he was meeting with girls offline, in the name of learning knitting skills, he got in touch with a cute scarf-obsessed girl a few times.However, he and the cute scarf-loving girl failed to develop any story in the end. Instead, he memorized the stitching method clearly anyway, and finally knit a scarf for himself as a souvenir.

But women may be born with talents that men cannot match in this kind of thing. After learning the reverse stitch from him, Aunt Lao and Jin Jiao quickly figured out that they can connect the sleeves to the body without seams. stitch together.

This time, Wu Ming directly called them both over, and asked them to teach the twenty women how to weave the simplest scarves with bamboo needles, and then pick out the five fastest and best ones, and in the following I am dedicated to weaving during the time.

After knitting the scarf in one afternoon, three women stood out.

The next morning, five brand new looms and spinning wheels and a large pile of wool washed and dried were brought over.

Wu Ming instilled the concept of the assembly line into Luo Daozi when he was in the craftsman camp, and the craftsmen over there also began to divide into categories and perform their duties more than a month ago.This time, in order to hurry, Wu Ming specially handed over the task of manufacturing looms and spinning wheels to Luo Daozi, and sent the composition of the parts and the overall structure diagram together, so that Luo Daozi could start work immediately.

But no matter how scientific management is, the foundation of productivity is there, and it will not be able to reach the production speed of tens of millions of screws per second as later generations.

Luo Daozi spent a whole day and night with his people, but in the end, he only drove out five looms and five spinning wheels for Wu Ming to use temporarily.

Wu Ming was not picky either, so he eliminated the five women who were best at knitting sweaters, and let the remaining 15 people try out spinning wheels first.Half a day later, let them use the spun wool to try out the loom.

These spinning wheels and looms are all pedal-type, and their efficiency is more than twice as high as that of the hand-operated spinning wheels and waist looms popular in the Qin Dynasty.Wu Ming originally planned to replace the key parts of the spinning wheel and loom with metal, but considering the time issue, he had no choice but to give up.

At the end of the whole day of testing, Wu Ming also arranged the candidates for the spinning wheel and loom.

On the third day, five other looms and spinning wheels were also sent over.

But at the moment only wool is abundant, Wu Ming thought about it, and finally arranged ten female workers to spin thread, five female workers to weave blankets, and the other five female workers to continue to study knitting sweaters. The three men, Yinjiao and Tortoiseshell, called over and asked them to follow along and make records, counting the best ratio of spinning and weaving, and the corresponding number of stitches for sweater knitting.

So, starting from the afternoon of the fourth day, twenty maidservants selected by Aunt Lao were transferred to official weaving women workers and started their nine-to-five weaving career.

Afterwards, it took another day and a half before Wu Ming finally determined the standard.

At this time, the north has officially entered winter, and the time of dawn is much later than in summer.

Wu Ming referred to the eight-hour work system of later generations, and did not let these newly transferred female workers get up early and stay late, but only asked them to get up and eat before Si time, and then officially started work at Si time, and then began to take a lunch break after two hours of work, and continued to work after dinner. After the application time is over, work is over and rest is over, and after that it is time for free activities. Whether you stay in the yard to rest or go out for a stroll, you can do whatever you want, but you must go back to the house to sleep before Haishi to ensure that you can get up on time the next day.

In order to allow these female workers to concentrate on their work, Wu Ming directly let them live in the yard, and three meals a day were provided by a special person.

Wu Mingben planned to pay according to his work, and pay them corresponding remuneration according to their work efficiency.But after thinking about it, Wu Ming really couldn't estimate the appropriate price for a catty of wool, and he didn't know what standard should be used to pay them.

In desperation, Wu Ming could only work hard on the diet, and added a quantity quota on the basis of meeting the quality standards. The female workers who exceeded the quota could add a meat dish, and the female workers with the highest output could order according to their own preferences that night. You can choose chicken, duck and fish at will, and the sheriff's wife's exclusive cook will cook for her in person.

Wu Ming had originally prepared punishment regulations for failing to meet the quota, but from the official start of work to the first rest day, none of the twenty female workers was punished, and meat and vegetables became a regular item in the small courtyard.

Compared with the factories of later generations, Wu Ming felt that he was Huang Shiren and Zhou Papi, but everyone around him felt that it was too easy to work only four hours a day, not to mention eating so well. It is the personal maids of the three masters who can have this kind of treatment.

The female workers also proposed to work overtime at night, but Wu Ming knew very well that human energy is limited, the more simple and repetitive labor is, the greater the damage to the body will be. Eight hours is the limit, and it will kill people if it lasts longer of.

But people in this day and age can't understand this, Wu Ming can only use the price of lamp oil as an excuse to stop them from working overtime.

On the sixth day after the official start of work, that is, the tenth day after Wu Ming took over the job from Yan Heng, Wu Ming gave the female workers a holiday according to the promise of a five-day rest.But now the situation is special, Wu Ming didn't let them go out, but stopped work for the day, and then called Yan Heng over.

Wu Ming just asked Yan Heng to come over to see the results of his work, and discuss the future of the weaving industry by the way.

But Yan Heng didn't come alone, he brought a group of subordinates, including not only Yao Zhong and Mu Yao who often deal with Wu Ming, but also He Qianqian who wore a skirt.

The addition of a woman among a group of men is like a little red in a thousand green bushes, it's hard not to notice it.

Although Wu Ming doesn't think it's wrong for a woman to work with a man, what he's doing now is a bit like a fight with He Qianqian, but Yan Heng brought this man here without even saying hello, which made Wu Ming a little bit more psychological I was not prepared at all, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Forget it, there is competition to make progress, anyway, he doesn't care what He Qianqian thinks.

Wu Ming blushed and led the group to the warehouse.

Twenty fresh people in the weaving industry can make very limited things in five days.

At the beginning, the wool spun by ten female workers could not meet the needs of the looms, so Wu Ming had to send someone to Luo Daozi to ask for a few catties of spun wool for the women weaving.

When the women who spin the thread are fully proficient, the women who spin the loom are fully busy.

Considering efficiency and practicability, Wu Ming did not let the female workers who used the looms weave the fabrics that could be tailored, and directly wove the spun wool into blankets suitable for marching and fighting.This kind of blanket is just big enough to wrap a person when unfolded, and it doesn't take up much space when folded up. It can even be tied directly to the body as armor.Because there are neither colors nor patterns on the blankets, each female worker can weave at least two pieces a day, and after a period of practice, three pieces are also possible.

In contrast, the female workers who knit sweaters are the least efficient. Each of them can knit a sweater or a pair of woolen trousers every day. They are obviously the first to start working, but after five days, the accumulated sweaters and woolen trousers are less than three. Although the five looms began to operate at full capacity on the second day of the official start of work, the blankets weaved have reached as much as 16 yuan.

This kind of production efficiency is of course incomparable to the mechanized mass production of later generations, but seeing the surprised expressions of a group of men and the embarrassment on He Qianqian's face, Wu Ming realized that these female workers did not eat meat for nothing.

Yan Heng himself was not particularly shocked.He has been sending people to watch this yard, and Wu Ming will tell him about the working conditions of the female workers every night, and he has a good idea of ​​the achievements here.The only thing that surprised him was the quality of these finished products. All the woolen yarns were of normal thickness, and all the blankets were of normal size and thickness. Even the three sets of sweaters were exactly the same.

In order to compare with Wu Ming's side, Yan Heng took a special look at He Qianqian's wool fabric yesterday.

He Qianqian hired hundreds of village women to work for her, but after more than ten days, most of what they brought back was wool, regardless of thickness, and some would break when pulled.The amount of recycled wool fabrics is not much more than that of Wu Ming's blankets, and it has the same problem of uneven thickness as wool, which makes He Qianqian very confused.

As for sweaters and trousers, because it takes time to learn, He Qianqian simply did not outsource them.

Comparing the two, Yan Heng immediately understood why Wu Ming would use the example of the first emperor making weapons.

Indeed, the advantages of standardization and specialization are too great.

As long as a simple conversion is performed, it can be seen that these women in the yard can do the work in one day, while ordinary peasant women have to do it in five or even ten days.He Qianqian hired hundreds of village women to do the work that could not be done. If it was replaced by Wu Ming's maids, it is likely that only a few dozen of them can over-fulfill.

Of course, there is also the issue of spending.

He Qianqian's cost of hiring hundreds of village women might not be enough to pay for the meals that Wu Ming's maids in the courtyard ate for ten days.

But after comparing the results of the two, Yan Heng suddenly felt that he would rather use these edible but more capable maids.

After seeing the warehouse, Wu Ming took them to see the new spinning wheel and loom, and asked two female workers to demonstrate on the spot.

Turning around the whole yard, He Qianqian's face was so pale that it lost all color of blood, her hands clenched her sleeves tightly, her eyes kept glancing at Yan Heng, she hesitated to speak.

Wu Ming didn't intend to compete with her for anything, even if Yan Heng insisted on him taking over the wool weaving work, he would definitely transfer it to someone else and continue to be a hands-off shopkeeper like running a glass workshop.

But Wu Ming was also not interested in reassuring He Qianqian.The reason why the bone spirits of later generations can become bone spirits is because they have a stronger resistance to stress than men. If a woman can't even stand this setback, then don't think about doing things like men, and go back to the backyard to hurt the spring. Sad autumn go!
