Chapter 158: My wife comes to the door

"Uh!" Liu Laoshi shuddered, and the tired and lazy expression on his face disappeared in an instant.

Zhu Bashiyi often saw him, especially in the more than three months after he captured Huai'an, almost every one or two days, everyone could see the silly smiling face. However, in front of Zhu Bashiyi, even the lazy craftsman dared not cheat and cheat. Without him, everyone could live a good life today and entrusted the blessing of the governor. He had to be conscientious. If Governor Zhu had not brought everyone to build armor and cannons together, everyone would probably not be able to lose a hundred copper coins for a whole year. How could it be like now, if they were responsible for food and clothing, and there were also bonuses that could be taken home in addition to wages every month?

A big difference between humans and wild animals is that humans have consciences. Especially since they are embarrassed when they eat the last meal but not the next meal, they are suddenly pulled to a state of full food and clothing. I am afraid that they will never forget this kindness for the rest of their lives.

Not only Liu Laoshi, but also most of the craftsmen in the workshop, thanking Zhu Bashiyi from the bottom of his heart. If the people in Huai'an City are ranked one by one according to their loyalty to Zhu Bashiyi, as a whole, the craftsman's sect will probably be ranked first among military generals and scholars. After all, the latter two can still be relied on when they are under others in troubled times. However, the treatment and status of craftsmen are very different from Zhu Bashiyi and others.

"Governor, Governor!" "Governor, you are here!" "Governor is here!" Other craftsmen and craftsmen and apprentices who discovered Zhu Bashiyi's arrival also took the initiative to say hello. Due to the use of assembly line operation and a large number of hydraulic machinery, the No. 2 Workshop No. 2, which is specialized in the rough grinding of the gun barrel, is not very busy. Many times, people are standing waiting for the castings of the Workshop No. 1, rather than waiting for the castings.

In the absence of precise timing equipment, this situation is inevitable. After all, if you are idle for a while, everyone can take the opportunity to recover their physical strength and will not cause too much loss. If the barrel is cast after the barrel is not ground while it is hot, the difficulty of grinding will increase exponentially when it is completely cooled. It is no longer suitable for using simple hydraulic grinders, and it must rely entirely on manual work.

"Everyone should be busy with whatever they should do. I just come and take a look!" Zhu Bashiyi waved his hand politely and greeted the craftsmen. Influenced by Zhu Dapeng's memory, he had a very strong sense of closeness to the industrial and engineering technicians of this era. Therefore, he never put on the airs of the Huaidong Road chief manager in front of everyone, and only regarded himself as a very ordinary member.

"No, no, no!" The craftsmen and craftsmen were unable to do so freely. They blushed and waved their hands awkwardly, "I dare not deceive the governor. Since we had this hydraulic grinder, we have saved at least 90% of the work of grinding the gun. We just handed over the previous batch of gun barrels and sent the next batch of gun barrels, and at least another quarter of an hour!"

"Oh!" Zhu Bashiyi thought for a while and nodded slightly. "Then everyone sit down and drink some tea. It's hot, don't get heated. Is the tea in the kitchen still being delivered regularly? Can they get some mung bean soup?"

The second half of the sentence was said to Huang Laowai, the young master of the workshop. The latter immediately opened his voice and responded loudly, "Report to the governor, the tea has been boiling. According to the governor's instructions, I have always bought new tea. The mung bean soup has never been boiled. If the governor thinks that thing can relieve the heat, I will go buy mung beans!"

"Go and buy it! Don't worry about the money. Cook a few pots for everyone every day and add a little salt to it!" Zhu Bashiyi thought about it and replenished it casually.

This kind of simplest anti-heat and cooling benefit in the 21st century has a different feeling in the ears of craftsmen. Immediately, someone knelt on the stone slab and kowtowed, "Zhe killed, Zhe killed. Governor, what is the identity of a villain? He takes money in your hands every month, and takes care of food and clothing. How dare he ask for mung bean soup to drink? Zhe killed, it is really Zhe killed!"

"What's the matter of killing or killing? Mung beans are not a precious thing!" Zhu Bashiyi dislikes others kneeling down to him the most, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled everyone up one by one, and said loudly, "Get up, get up, don't kneel down at any time. You should take the wages. If you want to be grateful, I should be grateful to you. After all, every cannon is ground by you with your own hands!"

"Governor, the Governor is so kind and righteous, I will wait until I die, and I will never forget it!"

"Governor, the governor is very kind and kind, and the villains are unable to repay them even if they are torn to pieces. They can only be, they can only."

"Governor, you are always a generous person. If the villain does not do his best and does things, he will be struck by lightning!"

More craftsmen had red eyes and choked and said, "In the past, they could get money when they worked for other owners. But at that time, the owner seemed to be giving alms. No one like Zhu Bashiyi really regarded them as his own people and as his kind."

"Masters, what's the point of wiping tears one by one? If you really want to repay the governor, you can make more serious goods and fewer defective products. It's better than anything else!" Huang Laowai shouted in time, and finally calmed down everyone.

Immediately, someone took the lead in expressing his opinion that he would never dare to grind the barrel crook again, otherwise he would rather be deducted all his wages. Someone blushed and explained that the last time he grounded the barrel crook to one thin and the other thick, and that he forgot to burn incense for Grandpa Lu Ban before going to work that day. Next time, the incense will continue to be hot every day, and he will never dare to slack off on purpose again.

No matter what everyone said, Zhu Bashiyi just listened with a smile, without accuse or refute it. Because he knew that it was not so much that everyone was reviewing their own mistakes, but rather that they wanted to vent their feelings in their hearts. In fact, it is very rare to maintain the defective rate at about 1.5% with the current measurement accuracy and mechanical application level. After all, except for the grinder itself being hydraulically driven, other work must be completed by craftsmen's bare hands. The minimum length unit of measurement in this era can only be accurate to the points, which is more than a hundred times different from later generations. (Note 1)

"Actually, if you play the iron stick connected to the grinding stone and the grinding stone, you might be able to reduce the grinding situation!" Liu Laoshi's group has produced the most defective products this month, and he really can't help but blame the ghosts and gods. After holding it aside for a while, he suddenly interrupted loudly.

"You are the only one who makes a grinder? Come on, Lao Liu, you are trying to be lazy again!" Everyone immediately turned their eyes to him and ridiculed him loudly.

Liu Laoshi was an old man who joined the workshop at the same time as Huang Laowai. However, because he was lazy and could not meet the standard of literacy of more than 300, he was still an ordinary craftsman. Most of his people have passed the minimum assessment standards set by Zhu Bashiyi and become craftsmen. Therefore, the workers in the same workshop do not look down on him very much, nor do they think he can come up with any tricks to solve the problem!

"Who, who wants to be lazy, I, I just think, just relying on my hands and eyes alone, no one can guarantee that no one cannons will be able to make a crooked cannon!" Liu Laoshi blushed with a smile, stammered his neck, and defended himself loudly.

"But no one is assembled as you guys!"

"That's right, that's right. You're almost overwhelming the four of us!" The craftsman curled his lips and continued to smile and scold.

"I, I can make a military order, right, a military order. If, if, according to my method, the governor, the governor can cut off and chop my head!" Liu Laoshi was forced to death, so he simply raised his hand high and shouted loudly.

Now everyone was silent. They looked down all day long and didn't look up. Everyone ran away without any psychological pressure, but they really forced him to the dead end, and everyone would feel guilty for the rest of their lives. In the future, no matter who saw his family, they would have to bow their heads against the wall.

"Governor, I can issue a military order. If my solution fails and wastes materials, you will chop my head!" After frightening all the workers, Liu Laoshi immediately turned his head to Zhu Bashiyi and reiterated loudly.

"You don't need to issue a military order!" Zhu Bashiyi smiled and shook his head, "Tell me your method and let's try it together. Lao Huang, he will be responsible for grinding the cannon barrel later. You can find someone else to grind it for him. Let's talk about it and hear if it makes sense!"

"I can do the gun barrels of our group by myself!" The craftsman Qian Shiwu quickly interrupted, saying that he did not need any external help.

"Okay!" Zhu Bashiyi nodded with praise, then turned his gaze to Liu Laoshi, "Are we talking here or go to Huang Shaocheng to say that? You're here to decide!"

"That's it!" Liu Laoshi knew whether he could be promoted to a craftsman by exception, and it was all based on this hammer. He gritted his teeth and responded loudly, "Speak more clearly to the real thing! Governor, come with me to see you!"

After saying that, he quickly walked to the grinder, pointed to the oval grinding stone, and added loudly, "This thing is thick, and the iron stick behind it is thin, which is easy to shake. The copper cannon was pushed from the pulley without pushing it hard, and the grinding stone did not go in. If you use force, you will be twisted by the grinding stone if you are not careful. The hot copper is soft and you can't feel it at all. When you feel it, a pipe will almost be worn out. No matter how you look for it, it will be difficult to evenly."

"That's the reason!" Although Zhu Bashiyi had never operated the grinder himself, he was influenced by Zhu Dapeng and his engineering thinking was very powerful. After a little thought, he understood that Liu Laoshi had found the problem at the key point.

"So I thought about it. Add three rows of copper wings to the iron stick behind. They are as wide as the widest part of the grinding stone in front, and weld them on it like a herringbone. If the grinding stone goes tilted, the copper wings behind will immediately get stuck in the cannon chamber. The copper and copper will not be broken for a while. When the craftsman door hears a wrong sound, he can immediately push the pulley back and find the axis again!"

"This - well, it makes sense!" Zhu Bashiyi thought about it, and the connecting rod appearance described by Liu Laoshi quickly appeared in front of him. It can indeed allow craftsmen to quickly discover the problem of eccentricity, but the cost is a bit higher. However, compared to the appearance of one or two scrapped gun barrels every day, the investment is still worth it.

"Well, you're right! This can really make everyone realize that they have gone astray!" Huang Laowai's reaction was not slow either, he raised his eyebrows and responded loudly.

"Also!" Seeing that Governor Zhu and General Huang supported their ideas, Liu Laoshi was even more courageous. He pointed to the semi-elliptical grinding stone and said loudly, "I really don't understand why the Governor used stones to grind the cannon bore. Since the hot copper was still soft, there were not many burrs in the cannon bore. Isn't it okay to change this stone into three steel knives? Take it, take the steel blades we smashed with the largest forging hammer, and make a personal font and weld it on the connecting rod, as thick as the muzzle. As long as the head of the knife can be put into the muzzle, it is straight and will not be crooked easily! And it is fast, and it has the ability to grind a cannon bore, which is enough to pick three out. If you don't believe the Governor, please try it as I said! If not, I will pay you the whole year of wages!"

"This" Zhu Bashiyi snatched the brush from Qian Shiwu, and drew the "herringbone" knife head that Liu honestly said was on paper.

Although the things drawn by the brush are a bit distorted. However, after the pulley and the stone base, the rough outline immediately reminded him of the industrial weapon that was widely used in later generations, horizontal boring machines. Although the boring tool is a herringbone, it looks very alternative. However, considering that the workpiece advances completely rely on people to push, a three-edged boring tool may be the best choice.

"God!" He patted himself on the back of his head, and then suppressed the impulse to pull Liu Laoshi aside and ask about his QQ number.

This is not the first time he has such an impulse. It was once when he saw Jiao Yu build a gun barrel. Last month, the boss of the Huang family proposed to change the mud pattern for casting cannons to an iron pattern, and it is once again today. He really can't imagine that if all the hidden potential is released, the ancient craftsmen in front of him could create something amazing miracle! (Note 1)

"I, I'll find someone to forge the knife head now." Huang Laowai snatched the sketch from Zhu Bashiyi and ran out like a fly. After tasting the sweetness of hydraulic machinery, no one in the entire General Workshop was interested in technological innovation. Because every time a new technology was successfully adopted, the production of artillery, other weapons and armor in the workshop would rise to a higher level. The larger the production of the workshop, the stronger his position as the Young Master of General Workshop, in the Huai'an Army. The stronger his position in the army, and the brighter the future of his two sons would be.

"Wait" Zhu Bashiyi pulled her back but couldn't hold her back, so she could only let Huang Laowai go. She raised her head and looked around. She was about to ask everyone if there were any other suggestions for improvement. However, Huang Laowai took the sketch and ran back from the door with Hu Dahai. "Governor, Governor, someone will look for you outside the workshop warning area."

"Let him wait!" Zhu Bashiyi disliked being disturbed at work the most, and he responded without thinking and was angry.

Huang Laowai did not dare to take him, but quickly pushed Hu Dahai to the front. The latter gasped for a few breaths before saying loudly, "Qi Bian, the governor, it's a woman. She said, she said it was your uninformed wife! We are here to find your husband for thousands of miles!"

Note 1: Fen is an ancient Chinese unit of measurement. One inch is equal to ten. One minute is about two or three millimeters today.
