Chapter 17 Squeeze (3)
Leisure time always flies by, especially for these heavy manual workers who have not had even a day off for half a year.
Early in the morning on the first day of May, the craftsmen rushed to the weapons workshop at a much brisker pace than usual. Along the way, they exchanged what they had done during their rest time yesterday, talking and laughing.
The previous lifelessness that could never end was as if a new group of people had been replaced, no, a new group of people had been replaced.
“The soup is all there!”
"arrive!"
"..."
Roll call in the morning and evening is a rule that Chen Kai has set the day before yesterday. In fact, this is not the case in the arms workshop in the morning, but Chen Kai has made it a system. When the craftsmen arrive, they will confirm the roll call and issue work quotas.
and plans, and occasionally you can use this to make rewards and punishments public, which is also a perfect thing to flog and motivate.
In the small courtyard, the craftsmen stood in the courtyard. As Mouse Xuzi called the roll call, everyone responded one after another. Chen Kai stood in front of the official room, observing everyone's expressions, and secretly laughing in his heart.
"Reporting to join the army, the blacksmith group should have eight people, and there actually were eight people. The carpenter group should have nine people, and there actually were nine people. The roll call has been completed."
"very good."
Nodding, Chen Kai glanced around and then said with a smile: "Looking at your complexions, they are much better than the previous day. It seems that this day's rest is indeed necessary."
Chen Kai was like this, and everyone was smiling. For the existence of public holidays, later generations even made up jokes that made people laugh, and even arranged work according to psychological changes and labor enthusiasm. But in this regard,
Here, no one thinks about Monday syndrome or why Friday afternoons are the hardest. In their opinion, yesterday's rest was nothing but wonderful.
"Youdao is that having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone. Since you had a good day yesterday, why not tell everyone about it and share it with everyone?"
As soon as this statement came out, there were some people who were eager to try it, especially the young men among the apprentices. However, compared to their exchanges with each other, in front of Chen Kai, an official, there would always be some
Cowardly. Seeing this, Chen Kai simply ordered Lin Zhengzhong's son to let the youngest and most expressive boy speak.
"I reported to join the army. I took a long nap in the morning, and in the afternoon I went fishing in the moat with Brother Tang."
"How many did you touch?"
"There are several of them, and they are all put in bamboo baskets. Mom will cook the fish for the little man to eat at night. It will be delicious."
After saying that, the boy from the Lin family swallowed subconsciously. Chen Kai also smiled when he heard this, and turned to Tang Quanyou's son and asked: "His mother cooked fish for him to eat, and you went to catch fish together, you
Woolen cloth?"
"The villain's mother cooks steamed fish, which is more delicious."
"Steaming is also very good. It appetizers and nourishes the blood. It's very good." Chen Kai responded with a smile to the young man's show off. After getting started, everyone soon started talking about yesterday's events. Some slept in, and some went there.
Walking around the streets and shops in the city, I saw some repairing furniture at home, and a carpenter even took the time to repair the roof to cope with the continuous heavy rains in this southern island in the summer.
How the craftsmen used this day to rest is not enough. After hearing this, Chen Kai also smiled knowingly, and then brought the topic back.
"It seems that you all have had a good rest. In this case, I have decided that from now on, you will be able to rest for one day every ten days. It will be a ten-day rest, just like yesterday."
"Joining the army shows compassion and kindness. We will never forget him."
Everyone who was stunned by the pie stayed for a moment. As a young man fell to the ground with a pop, everyone also expressed their sincere gratitude to Chen Kai. But those who were older were older.
Most of the craftsmen were nervous and slowed down by half a beat.
"Gentlemen, please rise. Gentlemen, please rise."
Smiles filled everyone's faces, as did worries. All of this was seen in Chen Kai's eyes. Unfortunately, he had never been a philanthropist, let alone an activist who advocated the protection of labor rights. He believed
If you pay, you will get something. Naturally, I will not do such a loss-making business under everyone's doubts at this moment.
"I have only been in this arms workshop for three days, and I have been committed to improving your working environment. The results have been achieved, and I am very happy. However, the national affairs are urgent, and you still need to devote yourself to your work with more enthusiasm.
Therefore, I have decided that from now on, the production standard quantity of each group of blacksmiths in the blacksmith group will be increased from 3 to 6. The production standard quantity of the carpenter group will also be increased. The specific details will be made after the meeting.
Detailed instructions. Do you have any objections?"
After Chen Kai said these words, the atmosphere in the small courtyard immediately dropped to freezing point. The smiles condensed on the faces of the craftsmen, and the laughter that was there just now disappeared, leaving only unimaginable shock.
"Joining the army, six gun heads have doubled the price. This is really impossible. I hope you can understand me if you join the army."
The pie turned out to be a trap, and co-author Chen Kai had been trying to improve their treatment in the past few days, but it turned out that this was what happened. The carpenter group was okay, after all, Chen Kai did not put out clear figures, and there was still a fantasy in his heart, but the blacksmith
But they are different. They have changed from 3 to 6, and the workload has doubled. Based on this calculation, I am afraid that even if they work for twelve hours, they may not be able to complete it.
"How many do you think you can produce?"
"Villain, villain..."
Tang Quanyou questioned Chen Kai's order, and was immediately counter-questioned by Chen Kai. Being asked directly by a civil servant, especially when the answer would affect or even determine the fate of everyone present, at this moment, he was already
I was so nervous that I couldn't even say half a sentence, which was detrimental to my search.
"You can do it."
Chen Kai's cold eyes glanced around for a week, and no one dared to face him directly. At this point, Chen Kai's aura became even stronger than before: "I'm not afraid to tell you that my dear ancestor once worked in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Why are you so lazy?
Damn it, after a long day in the Ministry of Industry’s workshop, let alone go home, it’s only fresh if the buttocks are not open and the flowers are blooming.”
"In a whole day, blacksmiths working in groups of two or three made three gun heads. Seeing that You Er was depriving you of lunch, and you guys were not full and had no strength, I opened the door the day before yesterday.
I'm closing one eye. Whether you can do it and how much you can do, I believe you know better than me. As for the shortcomings, there may be some, but I have my own means, so you just have to try your best.
Just do your best.”
This was what Chen Kai had planned earlier. An ancestor from his mother's family had served in the Ministry of Works, and his expert status immediately made everyone present speechless. Furthermore, Chen Kai had already taken the blame for the previous sabotage.
They were forgiven for dumping it on You Er. It was just that the price had doubled all of a sudden, but it was still hard for them to accept.
"join the army……"
"Everyone, you must have confidence in your abilities, and you must have confidence in me. In fact, it doesn't matter even if you have no confidence. If you cannot complete this batch of tasks, I will leave the weapons workshop. But at that time
, ten days off, the extra lunch and all the preferential treatment in the future will say goodbye to you. Are you willing to follow me, Chen Kai, to work hard and have a better life, or to go back to the hard days of the past?
Just go!"
Everything that happened during yesterday's sleep break was deliberately brought out by Chen Kai and fermented. Who knew that it would return to the previous days. It can be gone, but it can't be. Although the break is only one day, it can't be.
But the impact on their hearts is really not small. Once they really go back to the past, the hardships they endured day after day, not to mention it is really like this, even if they think about it now, they always show pain on their faces.
Pain and beauty collided with each other, and the collision brought touching. Gradually, the three blacksmith masters began to whisper. After a while, the three reached an agreement, and Tang Quanyou stood up and saluted Chen Kai.
"Joining the army, there are 6 of them, there are too many. Forgive me that we are really powerless." At this point, Tang Quanyou changed the topic: "However, we are willing to do our best, and we only hope that joining the army can carry me through the wait.
The better days will never return to the same state as before." After saying this, Tang Quanyou prostrated himself on the ground, followed by the other two master blacksmiths and five apprentices.
Seeing this, Chen Kai couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the carpenters. As if they felt what Chen Kai was pointing at, the carpenters looked at the blacksmiths and had to bow to the ground as well, saying that they would try their best.
With all your strength.
In Chen Kai's view, the previous weapons workshops were nothing more than extremely stupid corporate management models soaked in corruption and selfish desires. The ancient generals even knew that severe punishment and generous rewards were needed to win the death of soldiers, such as
How can You Er mobilize employees' enthusiasm for work if he insists on using force like that?
But now, the labor enthusiasm of the craftsmen has been mobilized. Chen Kai had previously forcefully expelled You Er to establish his prestige, and then used it to increase the lunch ratio. Even when time was so tight, he still gave them a day off.
That's what they did for it, and it can be said that they have spent enough money. Now that the carrot is hanging in front of the donkey's eyes, there is no need to worry about them not making strides in the direction guided by Chen Kai!
