Chapter 66 Running Water

As soon as Yu Qiuping spoke, the craftsmen immediately looked at each other and looked at Yu Qiuping nervously. Yu Qiuping then realized that he had said that if the craftsmen worked hard, they would improve the warriors. The fate of these craftsmen was all dependent on Yu Qiuping's hands.

"Sir, I am incompetent." The personal guards quickly bowed and apologized. The craftsmen around even kowtowed and asked for forgiveness.

"Tell me how you gave birth these days." Yu Qiuping decided to change his attitude and asked his personal guard.

"Report to the Lord," said the personal guard, "For the first three days, everyone was busy building houses and building workshops. After that, three of the eight carpenters went to log wood and make long spears and gun rods. Five were making bows and arrows. Five were making twelve blacksmiths. The remaining four were making gun tips and three made arrows."

"In other words... a blacksmith can only make a complete set of tools in a month?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"Reporting to the Lord, this is already very fast." The personal guard said in a low voice, "If it weren't for the adults' kindness and kindness to the craftsmen, they would be very energetic, and a set of iron might take more time."

"But the bow and arrow and spear are produced too fast, and they can't carry it with enough healing." Yu Qiuping thought for a while, "The bow and arrow have already come out, and you can stop producing some arrows. The spear will be filled immediately. But the gap is still so big."

"Can everyone give birth to a full extent?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"This..." The personal guard Wei himself was not an expert, so he turned his attention to Hanamaru.

"Sir," said Hanamaru calmly, "I'm afraid it's very difficult. There are several crafts in production that you have to learn for many years before you can master. Among the 12 blacksmiths, only 5 of us know this craftsmanship."

"Then... are you alone, and you have one and a complete set?" Yu Qiuping asked with a frown.

"Sir," Hanamara replied.

How to improve production efficiency? Yu Qiuping suddenly had no idea and began to recall how Western factories in the history of his previous life were produced quickly.

What comes to your eye is a large number of machines - but this is unrealistic now.

Next to the machine are conveyor belts, rolling to convey what is to be processed. Craftsmen stand by the conveyor belt and pick up what is to be processed one by one for processing.

Have it!

Assembly line production!

In ancient times, whether it was casting cannons, building complete swords, they were completed by a craftsman. Every craftsman had to be proficient in every process required for the things he had made. Therefore, learning took a lot of time, and it was basically passed down from generation to generation by family and did not communicate with the outside world. This also caused them to have several places where the family had not produced well for generations, but could not learn to correct them.

Indeed, under this mode, some masters with amazing skills will be produced. Just like those famous sword-casting masters in ancient history, they can complete a peerless sword with one hand. However, most such craftsmen are very inefficient.

In the later West, assembly line production was introduced. A product was split into many small parts. Each craftsman was responsible for producing a small part. The things produced were exactly the same in the standard format, and everyone was exactly the same, and finally assembled into a complete product. Because each craftsman only needed to learn the process technology he was responsible for, greatly reducing the time required for learning. Due to repeated the same operation, the craftsman's skills in this area will quickly improve and the masters will soon be comparable to those of the masters. Under the standardized production model of assembly line, production efficiency was greatly improved and the average quality of the product was guaranteed. Although such production was the same, and it was difficult to compare with the masters' masters' masters' ingenious work, it was more suitable for large-scale production.

After Yu Qiuping explained his philosophy to everyone, he proposed: "If you, those processes that require craftsmanship, let them be done by those who have been well-established for generations. As for other simple processes, you teach other carpenters and blacksmiths, they should be able to learn it quickly."

The craftsmen looked at each other and hesitated. In the end, Yu Hanamaru raised his doubts.

"It's just an adult... these crafts are passed down from generation to generation by the villain's family, and no extrapolation is allowed..." Hanamaru said struggling.

"I promise you," Yu Qiuping understood everyone's doubts, "As long as you are willing to teach everything you have learned and achieve higher productivity, after the troops have completed the dressing, they will give you five blacksmiths priority to warriors and give them their family name!"

"Ancestors will definitely be relieved to see you use your ancestral craftsmanship to get rid of your family's low status and become a warrior." Yu Qiuping smiled.

Several craftsmen exchanged their eyes and nodded affirmatively.

"Since the assembly line is standardized, each product must be basically completed according to the standards, otherwise the product will not be assembled." Yu Qiuping patted Hanamara's shoulder, "You guys are responsible for drawing some sketches and splitting them into several parts for production. The size, size, material usage and other aspects of each part are clearly written. Arrange more people for the complex part, and fewer people for the simple and fast part." Yu Qiuping smiled at his personal soldiers, Emily and Fukushima Ansei, "I will report a copy of how long it takes to produce each part, and I will help you plan the number of people in a linear manner."

"All these are left to the personal guards to arrest the general. If you have any questions, please report them to him."

After arranging the production reform, Yu Qiuping returned to the training ground. It was almost noon. With the sound of "disbandment", the young men gathered together to rest in groups of three or three.

"Don't eat the canteen today!" The canteen was a dining place in the territory that Yu Qiuping had previously imitated the previous school canteen. The lunch they had to be eaten in the canteen during training, and everyone lined up to receive the meal. Under Yu Qiuping's forced force, everyone started eating meat against the meat ban order, ensuring that everyone could eat meat once or twice a week. Another advantage of the canteen was that it provided Amano Keito with the opportunity to punish those who did not queue up well.

"I'll treat you, let's go to Junfu City to have something good!" Yu Qiuping shouted, which immediately caused everyone to cheer.

"But before this, everyone ran to Jun Mansion with me." Yu Qiuping's second half of the sentence suddenly caused a lot of complaints.

"Get together!" However, with Yu Qiuping's gathering, the young men immediately stopped complaining and stood in line. If anyone complained after gathering again, they would be push-ups again without hesitation.

Yu Qiuping looked at the silent and lined up in an orderly manner, nodded with satisfaction. "The generals of each foot led the team, and ran towards Jun Mansion in turn, and walked!"

When the team approached the East City of Junfu City, the garrison troops in Dongcheng were no longer surprised. This team was even more neat than the flag team of the family governor. Even if they were running, the square queue was as straight as tofu pieces cut by a knife. Today, the team also planted red leaves and flags, and the young man walking in the front also brought the maple bird flag personally given by the family governor.

"All - stand firm!" Yu Qiuping shouted out a trumpet, and the team following Fukushima Ansei immediately stopped moving, ran around the place, and after shouting the trumpet of "one, two, three, and four", everyone stood in the eye. Then, the four square arrays behind stopped in turn.

"Step - walk!" After Yu Qiuping gave the order to walk, the young men breathed a sigh of relief and followed Yu Qiuping's flag into the city. Originally, after giving the order to walk, the young men were allowed to talk.

However, today Yu Qiuping personally led the team and even raised the maple bird flag. The pedestrians, vendors and soldiers around him looked at the red-leaf soldiers curiously and admirably. The pride and vanity began to walk in line from the ground, and the queue was once again as neat as tofu blocks.

"Wow! Is that Chang Panbei from Yuqiu Hongye? So powerful! Look at that waist and that step!"

"No wonder the main hall of the family governor gave the horse seal personally! This is an amazing elite soldier!"

"I heard that they were in Sanhe, and they used 2oo people to block the 6o army of Zhang Lao!"

The buzzing discussions around made the young men feel proud. They all straightened their backs, raised their heads, and walked on the road with confidence, allowing the red leaves behind them to be seen by the flag. Yu Qiuping looked at the expressions of his subordinates, and felt a sense of sincere relief and emotion in his heart.

When we arrived at the hotel, the two people filled the hotel in an instant. The hotel owner personally hung a sign of "closing" outside the door, "It is the honor of the grass people to be able to entertain the Red Leaf soldiers. I will not do other businesses!" The boss explained with a smile. Yu Qiuhei, whose vanity was satisfied, waved his hand, "Everyone wants to order whatever you want! I'll treat you!" Before, Imakawa Yoshimoto gave the two of them a bonus of 20 yuan in order to reward the hard work of Semine Shin-sama and Yu Qiuhei. Now Yu Qiuhei is rich.

Yu Qiuhei himself sat on the table with Fukushima Yasunaga, Mimaezaki Nakahide, Yoshikazumasaki, Ogawa Yukio, Charlie, as well as his personal soldiers, Keito Amano, and Katsusuke Honta Katsusuke, and several others sitting at the table, discussing training and weapons creation. Yukio Ogawa was holding a bottle of wine and drinking silently. Keito Amano's crow was eating the remaining soup sprinkled on the ground. Halfway through the discussion, several Keito suddenly came over.

"Sir." The four of them saluted, "Can you help me and see what dishes are?" As they said, they pointed to the wooden menu hanging on a high place in the hotel. Following their fingers, Yu Qiuping could see dozens of footsteps waiting to order, and looked at him with anticipation.

Yu Qiuping stood up and looked around and said, "Are you illiterate?"

Most of the foot littors shook their heads one after another.

After helping them explain the recipe, Yu Qiuping returned to her seat.

"It's a big problem for everyone to be illiterate." Yu Qiuping scratched his head, "Not only may I not understand the orders on the battlefield, but I can't even understand my written orders in normal times?"

"Sir, don't worry, let's be able to read." Ji Gang Shengzheng patted his chest, "Before the incident happened at our family, we taught us to read, which was better than those brothers. This is why we were selected as leaders at the beginning."

"Sir, let's explain it to them." Fukushima Yasunaga added.

"It's OK now, but it won't work in the future." Yudong Ogawa burped and interrupted.

"Yes, sooner or later, I will go to a higher position. These old brothers will also play your current role and become the backbone commander." Yu Qiuping shook his head, "What should they do if they can't read at that time?"

"It's impossible for the lord to be just a general forever." Mimaezaki Nakahide slapped his head, "But asking the sir to teach them how to write and recognize words is a considerable fee."

Yu Qiuping frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I can teach them too. I can do some simple methods that can be taught in senior classes, but I can only teach Chinese characters."

"Only!" Mimaezaki Nakahide made an exaggerated expression, "I'll go! I can only teach Chinese characters! Chinese characters are things that only elegant upper-class adults can do!" He grabbed Yu Qiuping's hand and looked at Yu Qiuping with little stars in his eyes, "Sir, if you want to teach Chinese characters, I'm going to learn too!"

"That's how it is, everyone won't resist Chinese characters?" Yu Qiuping pulled out his hand with disgust and asked to the people around him.

"Definitely not, sir," explained the personal guard. "Samurai all need to know literacy. These sages dream of being able to know literacy, let alone Chinese characters? Besides, the common characters we use now have a lot in common with Chinese characters."

"That's OK, but will you mind that all the written orders in the army will be written in Chinese characters in the future?"

Everyone shook their heads again.

"That's right," Yu Qiuping smiled. He had practiced calligraphy before, and taught the regular script of this era. It was no problem to run traditional Chinese characters. "I will go back and prepare for a few days, and then select forty people, and I will teach them. Each of them will bring four students to the small class."

"Forty?" Mimaezaki Nakahide cried, "Sir, aren't you crazy? The most powerful gentleman can't teach forty people?"
