The production of iron ore is increasing, but at the same time there are some problems with transportation.
So Datang's freight began to face challenges again, and now the number of horses in Datang is still very large, especially the number of horses in the hands of the imperial court is amazing, and then Yuanshan asked Li Shimin for 10,000 horses to form an official freight fleet, and the coachmen are all transferred to veteran households, which also solves the problem of disabled soldiers on the one hand.
These horses cost money, but fortunately, the price is only one-third of the market, mainly the forage fee provided by the imperial court for the horses, anyway, it is a trade-off between some interests.
Counting the cost of the carriage production, the mining authorization deposit that was just collected by the Ministry of Economic Development was basically spent.
Originally, Li Shimin still hoped that the Ministry of Economic Development could provide some funds for "feudalism", but as a result, most of the collateral of the Ministry of Economic Development became treasury funds.
Yuan Shan of the Economic Development Department was looking at things, when he heard Yun Feng come in and said, "Yuan Servant shoots, and the Ministry of Industry is waiting at the door." ” "Oh, please come in."
Yuan Shandao.
"Is there anything wrong with Yan Shangshu?"
Yuan Shan asked directly, and when he met in this kind of place, he knew that there was a fortification to talk about.
Yan Lide was not shy about it, and said straight to the point: "Yuan servant, today the official came here to say, about the production of the carriage, I don't know if I can let the Ministry of Industry do it." ” "I'm afraid this is not possible, the amount of work is too large, and the Ministry of Engineering alone may not be able to complete the project within expectations."
Yuan Shan said.
Yan Lide was a little embarrassed, and as soon as he wanted to get up and leave, he heard Yuan Shan continue: "Lord Yan, the Ministry of Carriage can undertake a part, the drawings are here, and the purchase price of each carriage is the same as the price of the Carpenter Alliance, I don't know if Yan Shangshu agrees." ” Yan Lide looked at the carriage drawings handed over by Yuan Shan, thinking that if he sold their Ministry of Industry at this price, he would get a lot of money, which was definitely unimaginable to him before, usually asking for money like the imperial court, but now he can make money for the imperial court.
As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he felt that he was worthy of this official at this time, and it could also relieve some financial pressure for the imperial court, so he immediately agreed.
"Yan Shangshu, the bearings of the carriage are purchased by the Ministry of Economic Development, and they will be sent to the Ministry of Industry when the time comes, I hope you will cooperate happily, in order to ensure the interests of cooperation between the two sides, we also need to sign a project contract."
Yuan Shan said.
Soon, someone copied three more copies of the project contract for the carpenters' alliance for Yan Lide to sign, and after the two sides signed and drawn, Yuan Shan immediately paid one-third of the total purchase price of the carriage from the Ministry of Industry.
Yan Lide still looked a little incredulous when he left the Economic Development Department, followed by several large cars, all of which were loaded with money in advance.
After arriving at the Ministry of Industry, Yan Lide hadn't even figured out where to put the money, but how else to say that he could become the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and soon the Ministry of Industry held a meeting, and no one knew the specific content, but within a few days, the Ministry of Industry would pay back the money, which was big news.
Then mobilize the craftsmen to start working, or how to say the Ministry of Works, a summons soon the craftsmen began to work, the quality of the process, the scale, and the speed of production are incomparable to the Carpenter Alliance.
The Carpenter's Alliance is very famous in Chang'an, from a group of carpenters to the carpenter's workshop in the city, to the assembly line work, plus the continuous engineering, the carriage business alone has made them a lot of money.
This time, Yan Lide also gambled on the honor of the Ministry of Industry, if the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court is not as good as a carpenter's workshop, then what kind of face does he, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, have to continue to sit in this position.
With the joining of the Ministry of Industry, the pressure on the carpenters alliance is less, and when they undertake this project, they still have a lot of carriage products ordered by various wealthy businessmen that have not been completed.
Because of this, the scale of the carpenter's alliance expanded again, and Zhang Xingzhi went to various counties to find carpenters.
Now there is a great demand for laborers, and the demand for coachmen is even greater, and carpenters and blacksmiths are crazy robbers, as long as there is one, the pay is quite good, and these changes also indicate that the working class has a little fire.
At the same time, many big families also saw the opportunity, and soon there were families engaged in this kind of workshop, they only did to make wood embryos for the carpenters' union, such as wood embryos, processing wood and other work.
In this way, after some processing work was subcontracted, the horse-drawn carriage production speed of the Carpenter Alliance began to become faster, which also allowed Zhang Xingzhi to find a new business model, although it would make less money, but it also improved the comprehensive strength of the Carpenter Alliance in the case of making money.
A month later, the assembly of 100 carriages was completed, and at the same time, the first batch of iron was also refined into fine iron at the Ordnance Prison and was being shipped to Cangzhou.
In the Ministry of Industry, Yan Lide focused all his work on the manufacture of carriages, and the first batch of hundreds of carriages of the Carpenters Alliance had been delivered to the Ministry of Economic Development, which made him unable to sit still, and immediately began to pay attention to the movements of the Carpenters Alliance, mainly because the production speed was too amazing.
Originally, Yan Lide wanted to wait for the number of carriages to be enough to surprise Yuanshan, but he didn't expect that the production speed of the Carpenter Alliance was too fast, and the Ministry of Industry had sent someone over to inquire about the situation, and the scale of the number of people was really incomparable, but when so many carriages were delivered, Yan Lide felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it.
So he found Yuan Shan to talk about this matter, and now the only person who can help him is Yuan Shan, who is also in the officialdom.
"The Ministry of Industry invests three times as much manpower as the Carpenters Alliance, but the output is still a little worse than them, what is the production process of your Ministry of Industry?"
Wonsun asked.
Then Yan Lide began to speak, and after listening to it, Yuan Shan immediately understood, so he said: "The key reason is that in the assembly line operation, the production method adopted by the carpenter alliance is division of labor and cooperation, that is, the craftsmen are divided into different groups to be responsible for processing each part of the carriage, and the number of input personnel is adjusted according to the processing difficulty and output, so that the workers always make the same part naturally practice makes perfect, and the adjustment of the distribution ratio of personnel will speed up the production progress." ” Yan Lide suddenly realized after hearing this, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that this is how the Yuan Family Workshop worked in the first place?"
” "yes."
Yuan Shandao.
"Yuan Servant is really a strange person, such a workshop method can be figured out, it is Yan Mou's broom self-cherishing, it's really ashamed."
Yan Lide said.
It's no wonder that Yan Lide was so surprised, just like the Carpenters Alliance, it was not because of Zhang Xingzhi's participation that this alliance developed, Zhang Xingzhi learned these things in the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, and when they were applied to practice, they achieved great results.
And these things are just some small means of management, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are usually responsible for the royal engineering, the nature of the work is incomparable, and the construction of materials and so on are all high-end routes, compared to the assembly line operation has no such concept at all, so in the final analysis, it is the reason for the different working environment.
