Princess Lu Jie was also a person who asked questions when she didn't understand. She didn't know kelp, so she turned to the technicians behind and asked: "Do any of you know this thing?"
"I know the villain!"
A short, fat, middle-aged man replied: "We have it over there too, and it's also called foot-binding grass."
"What is the use of this thing?" Princess Lu Jie asked.
"Um..." The middle-aged man was stopped by the question and scratched his head: "Footweed is a kind of seaweed. No use has been found so far?"
The more middle-aged people speak, the softer their voices become.
In the drying field next to it, there are endless racks for drying kelp. If it is useless, why is Jin Feng drying so much kelp?
Princess Lu Jie turned to look at Jiang Wenwen again: "Miss Jiang, what is the use of this kelp?"
"It's edible!" Jiang Wenwen replied.
Before Princess Lu Jie could speak, the middle-aged technician jumped out: "This is a kind of seaweed, how come..."
Halfway through, he noticed that Princess Lu Jie turned to look at him, and the technician quickly shut up.
"Miss Jiang, how should you cook kelp?" Princess Lu Jie asked.
Nowadays, kelp has become very popular in Sichuan and Sichuan. Princess Lu Jie couldn't hide it at all, so Jiang Wenwen said openly: "Kelp can be used to make soup and cold dishes. There are many ways to eat it. Your Highness can try it for lunch."
"Do we have a lot of kelp over there?" Princess Lu Jie looked at the technician just now.
His family has always made a living by building ships. He grew up by the sea and has a good understanding of the waters near Dongman.
"Your Highness, yes, there are quite a lot of them," the technician replied.
When Princess Lu Jie heard this, her first thought was to write a letter back and ask people to pick it from the sea.
But the next second, she gave up the idea.
Now that the speedboats have blocked the Dongman waters, and their fishing boats have almost been wiped out by the speedboats, what are they using to pick kelp?
Thinking of this, Princess Lu Jie felt even more bitter.
"We must talk to Jin Feng about this matter. No matter how high the price is, we must let him withdraw the speedboat!" Princess Lu Jie secretly made a decision in her heart.
Seeing another boat pulling kelp into the dock, Princess Lu Jie was not in a hurry to go to the No. 3 dock, so she led others to stand on the shore and watch.
From unloading to washing to drying, Princess Lu Jie stood outside the drying yard for more than an hour and watched the entire process.
The technicians following her also silently memorized the key steps of drying.
After that, the group of people arrived outside the No. 3 dock.
"Your Highness, should we take the boat or continue walking?" Jiang Wenwen asked.
The water network in No. 3 Dockyard is crisscrossed. Each workshop is like a rice field, and the canals are like the ridges of the fields. From their current location to the No. 1 workshop, they need to cross at least six or seven canals.
Not every canal has a bridge. If you want to get to Workshop No. 1, you have to either take a boat by water, or walk around the perimeter of No. 3 Dockyard and walk in a circle to the No. 1 Dockyard in the northwest corner.
"Let's go," Princess Lu Jie replied.
If she takes a boat, her speed is not under her control. Although walking is a bit tiring, she can stop at any time when she encounters something she wants to see.
Princess Lu Jie was not sure whether Jin Feng would agree to her coming to the dock next time. Now that she could see it, she had to observe it carefully.
Princess Lu Jie decided to walk. Jiang Wenwen did not object and nodded to guide the way.

The group of people walked along the outside of No. 3 Dockyard. Princess Lu Jie didn't go far before she noticed something was wrong.
In her impression, shipbuilding is done in one go, and one craftsman should be responsible for it from beginning to end.
But she saw a half-built boat being sent from one workshop to another.
At first I thought it was just a special situation, but after walking around for a while, I found that this was the case in all workshops.
"Why did they send the unfinished ship to other sheds?" Princess Lu Jie asked curiously.
"Oh, His Highness said this, this is the assembly line working method invented by our husband." Jiang Wenwen replied.
"What is the assembly line method?" This was the first time Princess Lu Jie heard this term.
"The assembly line working method means that everyone only does their own work..."
Jin Feng has been using the assembly line working method for several years. All his factories use this working method, and there is no need to hide it.
Jiang Wenwen explained the assembly line work generously.
Princess Lu Jie was not a technical person and was still thinking about digesting Jiang Wenwen's words, but the expressions of the technicians behind her almost all changed.
There doesn't seem to be much difference between assembly line operations and traditional operations, but technicians know very well how huge changes this small change will bring.
Assembly line operation is equivalent to dividing the manufacturing process of a product into several parts, and each worker only needs to be responsible for his own part.
This model not only greatly reduces the learning process for workers, but also greatly improves product quality and efficiency.
The technicians who followed decided to follow this model and train workers after returning.
At the same time, they felt that they really came to the right place this time. Not to mention anything else, just learning about assembly line operations did not make their trip in vain.
Princess Lu Jie didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when she saw the technicians' reaction, she quickly understood the mystery.
"Mr. Jin is such a genius. He can come up with such a method!"
Princess Lu Jie sighed in praise and continued walking forward with the team.
While walking, I saw that their speed was not very fast. They did not reach the outside of Workshop No. 1 until noon.
Princess Lu Jie always felt that Jin Feng could not build so many fishing boats in just one or two months, because just sawing logs into wooden boards would require a lot of workers and time.
Outside Workshop No. 1, Princess Lu Jie finally understood how Jin Feng did it.
Still far away from Workshop No. 1, she saw thick black smoke and white fog, and heard a rumbling sound.
Although the steam engines were surrounded, this sound was not unfamiliar to her and she knew it was coming from the steam engines.
As she got closer, Princess Lu Jie saw a bearing as thick as an arm exposed from where the steam engine was surrounded. One end was connected to the surrounded steam engine, and the other end was connected to a huge saw.
There are two rails laid under the saw, and there is an eight-wheeled cart on the rails. The workers carry the huge logs, and then push the cart under the saw, and the logs are cut into pieces of wood!
This kind of work efficiency is dozens of times that of manual work.
No, even a hundred workers using hand saws cannot cut faster than a steam engine saw!
And workers will get tired, but steam engines never get tired!
She never thought that steam engines could not only be used to pull ships, but also be used to drive other machines!
After thinking about this, Princess Lu Jie was completely dumbfounded.
