0356 Collectivization

The Banshee Castle gathers reactionary forces, while the Hanfeng City is efficiently transforming the society and preparing for war.

After Inesa arrived, she officially issued a letter of appointment to Wilson, deputy city lord (in charge of manufacturing). The former president of the craftsman was stunned for a long time when he took over the letter of appointment, and felt that being the deputy city lord for Zhou Qingfeng was different from what he imagined.

The former deputy city lord Lehman held power and did whatever he wanted, but there was no pressure or responsibility. The current deputy city lord Wilson had business to do, and he had to report it every week. If he didn't do well, he would be scolded.

There are several similar deputy city lords, such as Justin is also the deputy city lord (in charge of urban sanitation and epidemic prevention and control), Mondino is also the deputy city lord (in charge of education and wizard cultivation), and the old knight Nasser is also the deputy city lord (in charge of military construction).

"A such a deputy city lord is not a noble at all." Wilson muttered in his heart. He couldn't say whether he should be satisfied or disappointed, and he didn't even dare to reveal his thoughts. All he could do was work hard.

If Zhou Qingfeng wants to turn all manpower and material resources to the war system, Inisa has to break down his orders into specific matters. She had never been exposed to similar matters in Lieyan Village, and it was entirely possible to carry out Sophia's continuous reference.

Since we are going to fight, transportation is a must. There is a carriage shop in the east of the city, which was originally the industry of the Lehman family. There are four or five carpenters and more than a dozen apprentices, specializing in the production and repair of carriages.

On the first day of taking office, Wilson received a task from Inesa to confirm the number of craftsmen in the city, types of personnel, tools, and manufacturing capabilities as soon as possible. The next step is to strengthen production and maintenance.

In Zhou Qingfeng's opinion, this is a very natural planning management, but in Wilson's eyes it is very unusual. "The nobles in the past never gave such specific mission goals. They would only shout a few words, and they would beat and kill if they were not satisfied."

Wilson must do his work in detail and report it with specific numbers. For example, there were several craftsmen in the carriage house, whose surnames were, ages, and skills.

He also had to appoint special personnel to manage the manufacturing of transportation tools, just like sending special personnel to produce tables, chairs and furniture, special personnel to be responsible for transportation logistics, and special personnel to engage in contact records. Such a meticulous division of labor has never been seen in the past.

All craftsmen were not used to such changes. They were used to working from beginning to end alone. Wilson also vaguely told Inisa that such management was not very consistent with tradition, but was rejected by a sentence...

‘It is not in line with tradition for the craftsman to serve as deputy city lord.’

It's enough to have this sentence, and there's nothing to say. Wilson dares to complain again. At most, he caught other craftsmen under his command and scolded him, "It's not traditional to let you have enough food, but it's traditional to starve you all to death."

The carriage yard has expanded more than ten times the area, and the number of people has increased by more than ten times. Once there are more people, it requires better management, good running-in, and reasonable rules and regulations.

There was nothing in the past, and Zhou Qingfeng could not copy the real world system. Wilson had to establish it bit by bit according to the actual situation in another world. For this reason, he was so tired every day that he was dizzy and dizzy.

"Working for Your Excellency Hugo is harder than working for the nobles." Wilson secretly complained, "The advantage is that you are not beaten or scolded, you are given enough wages and equip daily necessities to ensure that the whole family will not go hungry. And..."

Thinking of the difference in current life, Wilson would think of the so-called "Fourth District" that had just moved to the city. It was a department directly under Zhou Qingfeng's management. After Inesa arrived in Hanfeng City, she began to relocate the personnel and equipment of these key institutions.

Wilson was responsible for many settling and receiving work. He could see that the people in the "Fourth District" were also craftsmen, and most of them were carpenters. But these carpenters were taciturn and used unique equipment - they were pulled by carriages and not for outsiders to see.

The Fourth District has its own territory, but they occasionally send people to train manufacturing craftsmen such as Wilson or hand over some special tools.

For example, a special woodworking planer has a hundred times more processing efficiency than manual work and is more guaranteed. For example, it replaces the measuring tools that were originally different from craftsmen and cannot be connected in one breath, and changes it to a unified measurement tool.

Changes always cause discussion and resistance, and Wilson suppressed them all. But he mentioned the current ideological situation of craftsmen at the first Cold Wind City Work Week Conference, and this time he was rejected by Mr. Zhou...

"A craftsman who is unwilling to adapt to technological innovation and progress is not a good craftsman."

Yes..., shut up completely. If you don't shut up, don't open your mouth.

When Wilson returned to his manufacturing department, he held a meeting to unify his thoughts, scolded the craftsmen for being distracted and disorderly, asked them to correct their wrong ideas of doing solo and learn how to become a nail in teamwork.

Traditional craftsmen are taught by father and son and educated by masters and apprentices. A family has done the same job for generations, rarely communicated with the outside world, and made extremely slow technological progress.

In the past, carriages and other durable goods were all nobles, but they were consumables in war. Now Zhou Qingfeng is going to fight, and he is not at the critical moment of life and death. He has no time to wait for his subordinates to show his craftsman spirit - to make it quickly and hard for me to build it.

If it weren't for the secret of the 'Fourth District' that could not be revealed, Zhou Qingfeng would have wished to throw all the craftsmen from the Hanfeng City into the 'Fourth District' and rebuilt them.

The craftsmen in the "Fourth District" are all direct descendants who Zhou Qingfeng was inhabited and trained in the Black Forest. After half a year of continuous iteration, the woodworking lathes they built have been updated to the second generation, and they are no longer rude people like playing the huqin.

Wilson is not clear about the situation of the 'Fourth Zone', but he has seen the power of this mysterious department - in carriage manufacturing, axle spokes are difficult, basically every car is built differently, and hand-made is very slow.

But just by unifying the rules of all craftsmen, there will be less trouble. At least the things that everyone makes are roughly the same. Just by interchanging each other's parts, it is possible for old carpenters to correct the work, but now they can also find an apprentice.

In the past, the nobles asked the carriage to be beautiful in appearance and luxurious in decoration. Now, if you change to a new city lord, your aesthetic taste has changed - I don’t want to be beautiful, just be practical. How fast and easy is it, and don’t talk nonsense about anything else.

In addition to the lack of requirements for appearance, Mr. Zhou asked many other aspects of the carriage. In the past, carriages used wooden axles, but now iron axles were used. The wooden bearings would squeak if they carried 200 kilograms, and the iron bearings would still run very fast if they carried 500 kilograms.

The forged iron shafts are still worn out and there is little maintenance. The only disadvantage is that they are expensive. However, the Black Forest Forest Forest Forging Site ships out a hundred iron shafts in one go, which is enough for the carriage yard of Hanfeng City to renovate the dozens of original cars in the city first.
