Chapter 158: Wife comes to visit "Uh" Liu Laoshi shuddered, and the tired expression on his face disappeared instantly.
He could see Zhu Ba11 often, especially in the past three months or so after the capture of Huai'an, almost every day or two, everyone could see that innocent smiling face.
However, in front of Zhu Bayi, even the laziest craftsman did not dare to cheat.
Without him, everyone can live a good life today, all thanks to the blessing of the governor.
You have to be conscientious.
If Governor Zhu hadn't led everyone to make armor and cannons, everyone would have been busy for a whole year and still wouldn't have saved a hundred or ten coppers.
How could it be like now, where we have food and clothing, and besides wages every month, we also have bonuses that we can take home?
One of the big differences between humans and beasts is that everyone has a conscience.
Especially when they were suddenly dragged from the embarrassment of not having enough food to the situation of having enough food and clothing, I am afraid 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 were grateful to Zhu Bayi from the bottom of their hearts.
If the various people in Huai'an City were ranked according to their loyalty to Zhu Bayi, the Craftsman Sect as a whole would probably be ranked ahead of military generals and scholars.
After all, the latter two can still be relied upon in troubled times if they join others.
However, the treatment and status of craftsmen at Zhu Bayi's place were completely different from those at other people's places.
"Captain, Commander" "Commander, you are here" "Commander is here" Other craftsmen, craftsmen and apprentices who noticed Zhu Bayi's arrival also took the initiative to say hello.
Due to the assembly line operation method and a large number of hydraulic machinery, the Paozi No. 2 workshop, which is responsible for rough grinding of the inside of the gun barrel, is not very busy.
Many times, people are standing waiting for the castings from Workshop No. 1, instead of letting the castings wait for people.
In the absence of precise timing equipment, this situation is inevitable.
After all, if people are left idle for a while, everyone can take the opportunity to recover their physical strength without causing too much damage.
If the barrel is not ground while it is hot after it is cast, the difficulty of grinding will increase exponentially after it is completely cooled.
And it is no longer suitable to use a simple hydraulic grinder, and must rely entirely on manual work.
"Everyone should be busy with whatever they have to do.
I just came here to take a look."
Zhu Bayi waved his hand politely and greeted the craftsmen.
Influenced by Zhu Dapeng's memory, he had a very strong sense of affinity with the industrial and engineering technicians of this era.
Therefore, he never puts on the airs of the general manager of Huaidong Road in front of everyone, and only regards himself as an ordinary member of them.
"Not busy, not busy."
The craftsmen and craftsmen couldn't be as free and easy as he was.
They all blushed and waved their hands, "I don't dare to deceive the governor.
Since we got this hydraulic grinder, we have saved at least 90% of the work of grinding cannons.
We have just handed over the last batch of cannon barrels, and the next batch of cannon barrels It will take at least another quarter of an hour to deliver it."
"Oh" Zhu Bayi thought for a while and nodded lightly.
"Then let's sit down and drink some tea.
It's hot, so don't get a heat stroke.
Is the tea in the kitchen still being delivered on time?
Can you ask them to make some more mung bean soup?"
The second half of the sentence was addressed to Huang Lao Wai, the Shaocheng of the General Workshop.
The latter immediately raised his voice and responded loudly, "For the governor, the tea has been boiling.
I followed the governor's instructions and always bought new tea.
The mung bean soup has not been burned.
If the governor thinks that it can relieve the heat, I will Follow someone to buy mung beans.”
"Go ahead and buy it.
Don't worry about the money.
Make a few pots for everyone every day and add a little salt to it."
Zhu Bayi thought for a while and added casually.
This kind of heatstroke prevention and cooling benefit, which is the simplest in the 21st century, has a different taste in the ears of craftsmen.

Immediately, someone knelt down on the stone slab, kowtowed and said, "Zhe kill, Zhe kill.
Governor, what kind of status do you have for this villain?
You take a lot of money from your hands every month, and you still take care of your food."
Wear, how dare you ask for mung bean soup again?
It’s really a shame.”
"It's better to kill them than to kill them.
Mung beans are not a valuable thing."
Zhu Bayi didn't like people kneeling to him the most.
He quickly stepped forward and pulled everyone up one by one.
At the same time, he said loudly, "Get up, get up, don't move.
Just kneel down.
You deserve the wages.
To be grateful, I should be grateful to you.
After all, every cannon is polished by your own hands."
"Captain, Commander is so benevolent and righteous.
I will never forget it until I die."
"The Governor, the Governor is so kind and kind that the little people can't repay them even if they are broken into pieces.
I can only, only" "Captain, you are always kind and generous.
If the little people don't do their jobs with all their heart, they will be struck by lightning."
More craftsmen had red eyes and choked with sobs.
In the past, when I worked for other employers, they could still get paid.
But when I took the money, the boss seemed to be giving it away.
There has never been any boss like Zhu Bayi who truly regards them as one of his own and as a kindred spirit.
"Masters, what's the point of crying and wiping away tears?
If you really want to repay the governor, just make a few more genuine products and a few less defective ones.
That's better than anything else."
Huang Laowai shouted in time, and finally Let everyone calm down.
Immediately, someone else took the lead and expressed their opinion that they no longer dared to grind the barrel of the cannon, otherwise they would rather have all their wages deducted.
Others blushed and explained that the last time they grinded the barrel of the cannon to become thinner on one side and thicker on the other was because they forgot to burn incense for Grandpa Lu Ban before starting work that day.
Next time, I will make sure that the incense continues every day, and I will never dare to slack off on purpose.
No matter what everyone said, Zhu Ba11 just listened with a smile, neither criticizing nor refuting.
Because he knew that everyone was not so much reviewing their own mistakes at the moment as they were wanting to vent their feelings.
In fact, with the current level of measurement accuracy and mechanical application, it is very rare to be able to maintain a defective rate of about 15%.
After all, except for the fact that the grinder itself is powered by water, all other work must be done by the craftsman's bare hands.
And the smallest unit of measurement of length in this era can only be accurate to the minute, which is more than a hundred times different from that of later generations.
Note 1 "Actually, if we fix the grinding stone and the iron rod connected behind the grinding stone, we might be able to reduce the grinding deviation."
Liu Laoshi's group produced the most defective products this month, which is really embarrassing.
Put the blame on ghosts and gods.
After holding it in for a long time, he suddenly interjected loudly.
"It's up to you to change the grinder, Old Liu, you are trying to be lazy again."
Everyone immediately turned their eyes to him and laughed loudly.
Liu Laoshi is an old man who joined Jiang Workshop at the same time as Huang Laowai.
But because of his lazy temperament, he has never been able to meet the standard of literacy of more than 300, so he is still an ordinary craftsman until now.
And most of his group of people have now passed the minimum assessment standards set by Zhu Bayi and become master craftsmen.
Therefore, the co-workers in the same workshop usually don't look down on him, nor do they think he can come up with any tricks to solve the problem.

"Who, who wants to be lazy?
I, I just, just think, just rely on hands and eyes.
No one can guarantee that there will be no mistakes."
Liu Laoshi blushed with laughter, held his neck, and defended himself loudly.
"But no one can produce as many as your group."
"That's right, that's right.
You alone can do more than the four of us can do."
The craftsman curled his lips and continued to scold with a smile.
"I, I can issue a military order, yes, a military order.
If, if my method doesn't work, the Governor, the Governor can chop, chop off my head."
Liu Laoshi was so forced that he simply raised his hands high, shouted loudly.
At this time, everyone was speechless.
He bows his head all day long and doesn't look up.
He doesn't have any psychological pressure when everyone squeezes him.
But if he is really pushed to a dead end, everyone will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
From now on, no matter who meets his family, he will have to walk close to the wall with his head down.
"Commander, I can issue a military order.
If my method fails and the materials are wasted, you will chop off my head."
This frightened all the workers.
Liu Laoshi immediately turned his head to Zhu Ba11 and reiterated loudly.
"You don't need to issue a military order."
Zhu Ba11 smiled and shook his head, "Tell us your method and let's try it together.
Lao Huang, he will be responsible for grinding the barrel later.
You can find someone else to grind it for him.
Let's work together.
Listen to see if what he says makes sense.”
"I can handle the gun barrels of our group myself," craftsman Qian Shiwu quickly interjected, saying that he didn't need any outside help.
"That's good."
Zhu Bayi nodded approvingly, and then turned his attention to Liu Laoshi, "Should we talk here, or go to Huang Shaocheng's place to decide?"
"That's it."
Liu Laoshi knew that whether he could be promoted to master craftsman would depend on this hammer.
He gritted his teeth and responded loudly, "Speak more clearly to the real thing, Commander, come with me and take a look."
After that, he walked quickly to the grinding machine, pointed to the oval grinding stone, and added loudly, "This thing is thick, and the iron rod behind it is thin, and it is easy to shake.
The copper cannon is pushed over from the pulley, so don't push hard , the grindstone won't go in.
If you use force and don't pay attention, the grindstone will be bent, and the hot copper will not be felt at all at first.
It’s worn out.
No matter how you look back, it’s difficult to straighten it out.”
"That's the truth."
Although Zhu Bayi has never operated a grinder himself, his engineering thinking is very strong under the influence of Zhu Dapeng.
After thinking about it for a while, I realized that Liu Laoshi had found the problem at the key point.
"So I thought about adding three rows of copper wings to the iron rod at the back.
They are as wide as the widest part of the grinding stone in front, and welded to it like a herringbone.
If the grinding stone is askew, the ones at the back will The copper wings were immediately stuck in the barrel, and the copper could not be damaged for a while.
When the craftsman heard the sound, he could immediately push the pulley back and find the axis again."
"Well, that makes sense."

Zhu Bayi thought for a while, and the connecting rod shape described by Liu Laoshi quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
It does allow craftsmen to quickly detect eccentricity problems, but the cost is higher.
But compared to one or two worn-out barrels every day, the investment is still worth it.
"Well, you're right.
This will indeed help everyone quickly realize that the grinder has gone astray."
Huang Laowai's reaction was not slow, he raised his eyebrows and responded loudly.
"Also" Seeing that both Governor Zhu and Manager Huang supported his idea, Liu Laoshi became even more courageous.
Then 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 is still soft, there are not many burrs in the cannon bore.
Put this stone, Can't you change it into a three-piece steel knife?
Let's take the steel blade that we cold-battered with the largest forging hammer.
It is made in a herringbone shape and is welded to the connecting rod.
It is as thick as the muzzle.
As long as the blade can be inserted into the muzzle, it is correct.
It will not be tilted easily and the speed is very fast.
There is a way to grind a cannon bore.
It's enough time to pick out three sticks.
If you don't believe me, just try the method I told you.
If it doesn't work, I'll give you all my wages for the whole year."
"This" Zhu Bayi grabbed the brush from Qian Shiwu's hand, and with three strokes and two strokes, he drew Liu Shishi's "herringbone" knife head on the paper.
Although the things drawn with the brush are a little out of shape.
But after adding the pulley and stone base, the general outline reminded him immediately of the horizontal boring machine, an industrial tool that was widely used in later generations.
Although the boring tool is herringbone-shaped, it looks very unusual.
But considering that the progress of the workpiece currently depends entirely on people pushing it, a three-edged boring tool may be the best choice.
"Oh my God", he slapped himself hard on the back of the head, and then suppressed the urge to pull Liu Laoshi aside and ask for his QQ number.
This was not the first time he had such an impulse.
It was once when I saw Jiao Yu making gun barrels, once last month when the Huang family boss proposed to change the clay mold for casting cannons into iron molds, and again today.
He really couldn't imagine what amazing miracles the ancient craftsmen in front of him could create if all their hidden potentials were released.
Note 1 "I, I'll find someone to forge the blade head."
Huang Laowai grabbed the sketch from Zhu Bayi's hand and ran out like flying.
After tasting the benefits of using hydraulic machinery, no one in the entire general workshop was as enthusiastic about technological innovation as he was.
Because every time a new technology is successfully adopted, the output of artillery and other weapons and armor in the workshop will increase to a higher level.
The greater the output of the workshop, the stronger his position in the Huai'an army will be.
The stronger his position in the army becomes, the brighter the future of his two sons becomes.
"Wait" Zhu Bayi pulled him but didn't hold him back, so he could only let Huang Laowai go.
I raised my head and looked around, and was about to ask everyone if they had any other suggestions for improvement.
Huang Laowai took the sketch again, and together with Hu Dahai, ran back from the door in a hurry, "Captain, Governor, there is someone outside the security area of the workshop looking for you."
"Let him wait."
Zhu Bayi didn't like to be interrupted while working.
He didn't even think about it and responded angrily.
Huang Laowai did not dare to pick up the slack, but quickly pushed Hu Dahai to the front.
The latter took a few deep breaths and then said loudly, "Qizhen, Governor Qizhen, it's a, she's a woman.
She said, she said that your wife, Qianli Xun, is here to find her husband."
