Chapter 431: Preparing for Winemaking


"The woman is really strong" Lin Zifan shook his head and marveled.

"It's okay, I've never met that kind of Lori-looking, extremely cute, but with an extremely strong muscular female body, otherwise cough cough cough."

With a strange look on his face, he finally threw the idea out of his mind and began to work on the current arrangement.

Although these hundreds of people were a little afraid of being bullied by women or something, after Lin Zifan's promise, they were all relieved, and then one by one they followed the instructions, left personal information, and happily went home and waited for the notice.

In the early morning of the erection day, Lin Zifan got the good news that Li Shangshu and other household ministers had already harvested in the mountains, at least, he had found the wheat used to make koji "Wheat found, that's good news" Lin Zifan chuckled, and almost at the same time, Ziyi came and told Lin Zifan that the empress had purchased all the silver taels that the treasury could use to buy refined iron, although it was not much, but it was also more than 100,000 catties That's right, nearly three million taels of silver, exchanged for more than 100,000 catties of refined iron.

The price of the allowance is two to three times that of silver, which shows how serious the blockade of Datang is in countries rich in iron ore such as the Qin State Even, if it weren't for the fear of forcing Datang into a hurry, and the Datang would jump over the wall in a desperate hurry or something, even if the price was higher, Qin State might not be able to sell it Just these hundreds of thousands of catties, the Qin State is all kinds of obstructions, if it weren't for Datang's firm attitude, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get it.

"The empress actually spent all the silver," Lin Zifan was a little surprised.

You must know that the amount of silver in the treasury is at most this amount now, but this is to bear the civil and military expenses of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the reimbursement of various ministries from time to time, which is already very nervous.

He really didn't expect that the empress would play so big.

After all, what will happen to the civil and military officials after that However, this is the empress's choice, Lin Zifan naturally won't say anything, just like the empress doesn't ask why to support him, he will also support the empress Isn't it just silver, hum, when it's not enough, you can just come out by yourself "Girl in purple, please help me tell Your Majesty that these irons will turn into grenades at the fastest speed."

"The slave has written it down" Ziyi nodded with a chuckle and left the department After Ziyi left, Lin Zifan immediately found the Ministry of Industry, mobilized a large amount of gunpowder, and almost all the manpower of the Ministry of Industry was in a hurry, and began to make grenades At present, the Li sisters and Xiong Chumo are both skilled in making grenades, and they don't know anything about other laborers But this is not a problem, in the face of Xiong Chumo's question, Lin Zifan smiled indifferently.

"Your worries are not unreasonable, after all, everyone is not skilled, or even has no contact at all, if you try to explore as you did before, I am afraid that a lot of fine iron will be wasted."

"But in my opinion, the fastest and most efficient way to make a grenade is not to learn every step for everyone, but to assemble the line" "Assembly Line" for this unfamiliar name, everyone expressed puzzlement.

"Break down the grenade into several, or even a dozen processes" "For example, each part is a process, and the people of our department are divided into different teams, and each team is responsible for the manufacture of a part."

"In this way, at most, half a day, everyone will become a skilled worker, and then a few of you will be responsible for the installation and molding."

When Xiong Chumo and the Li sisters heard this, they were a little confused In the assembly line, each team produces one type of part, which is then assembled by them into a complete grenade Although this idea sounds very novel and a little strange, everyone is not stupid, and if you think about it carefully, you will know that this method is absolutely feasible and efficient, and it is far higher than everyone doing a full set They looked at each other, and each could see the shock in the other's eyes.

For Lin Zifan's method, it is really difficult for them to remain calm.

"I understand," Lin Zifan chuckled: "Assembly-line production is the most efficient method in mass production operations, although it is boring, but there is no pickiness in other aspects." ” "Next, you can arrange it like this, I have more important things to do."

"But remember, the parts produced by each team must be strictly controlled, and the accuracy and quality must not be wrong, otherwise, one group will make a mistake, and all the parts produced by the team will be stranded."

"So you must strictly control the quality level" "Yes, my lord promises to complete the task" The women slapped their chests thumping, which made Lin Zifan look at their constantly shaking chests and muttered, "I don't know if it hurts."

When the women dispersed, they immediately gathered the laborers who were still in the department, began to divide into groups, and gradually taught the precision of the various parts and the methods of production Seeing this, Lin Zifan nodded with satisfaction, took a bag of wheat, and returned to the logistics mansion.

In fact, there is one thing he didn't say, that is, this kind of assembly line production can ensure the privacy of the grenade to the greatest extent Xiong Chumo and the Li family sisters are naturally credible, but it doesn't mean that everyone can be trusted Especially with the growth of the department, there will inevitably be more and more workers, if the secret of the grenade spreads out and is learned by other countries, and then the time comes, it will not be lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot This kind of stupid thing, Lin Zifan naturally wouldn't do it "Koji is divided into different types such as large koji and small koji, and depending on the raw materials used, there are wheat koji and rice koji."

"To make baijiu, especially distilled spirits, you need to use Dako, and the main ingredients of Daqu are peas and wheat."

Lin Zifan recalled the method of making Daqu in his memory, fortunately, although it has been some years and he has never really done it, his memory is still very clear.

But at the same time, he suddenly had some curiosity "It's strange, is New Oriental really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden?"

"Back then, the old man not only knew how to make salt from ancient wells, but he was also very proficient in winemaking, and even made his own koji."

"It can't be a sweeping monk hidden in the school?"

Shaking his head and smiling, Lin Zifan knew that this was impossible, otherwise, the old man would not have died early before he was eighty years old.

"But I really want to thank you, old man."

Spreading out the wheat in the package, Lin Zifan couldn't help but murmur: "If it weren't for you, I would really have a headache now."

"Otherwise, even if you can make wine, it's useless, and if you don't have a suitable koji, make a duck wine" "It's okay, I'm glad I met you":
