Reactionary forces gather in Banshee Fort, while Coldwind City is effectively transforming society and preparing for war.
After Inisa arrived, she formally issued a letter of appointment to Wilson, the deputy city owner (in charge of manufacturing). When the former craftsman president received this appointment letter, he froze for a long time, feeling that being the deputy city lord of Zhou Qingfeng was different from what he had imagined.
The former deputy city lord Lehman had the power to do whatever he wanted, but there was no pressure or responsibility. The current deputy city lord Wilson has business to do, and he has to meet and report every week, and he will be scolded if he doesn't do well.
There are several similar deputy city owners. For example, Justen is also the deputy city master (in charge of urban health and disease prevention), Mondino is also the deputy city master (in charge of education and wizard development), and the old knight Nasser is also the deputy city owner (in charge of the army). Construction).
"Such a deputy city lord is not a nobleman at all." Wilson said to himself, 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.
Zhou Qingfeng wants to transfer all manpower and material resources to the war system, and Enisa must break down his orders into specific matters. She had never been in contact with similar matters in Blaze Village, and she was able to proceed only by Sofia's constant reference to her.
Since there is a war, transportation is a must. There is a carriage workshop in the east of the city, originally owned by the Lehman family. There are four or five carpenters in the workshop, plus a dozen apprentices, specializing in the production and maintenance of carriages.
Wilson received the task from Inissa on the first day of taking office to confirm the number of craftsmen in the city, the types of personnel, the number of tools, and the manufacturing capacity as soon as possible. The next step is to strengthen production and maintenance.
In Zhou Qingfeng’s view, this is a natural planning and management, but in Wilson’s eyes, it is very unusual. "The noble masters in the past never gave such specific mission goals. They only yelled a few words. Fight to kill."
Wilson must do his work carefully and have specific figures to report. For example, there were several craftsmen in the carriage workshop, who was their first name, age, and skill level.
He also has to appoint special personnel to manage the manufacturing of vehicles, just like assigning special personnel to produce tables, chairs and furniture, special personnel responsible for transportation logistics, and special personnel for contact records. Such a meticulous division of labor has never been seen in the past.
All craftsmen are not adapted to such a change, they are used to working from start to finish alone. Wilson also faintly expressed to Inisa that this kind of management was not in line with the tradition, and he was hit back...
'It's not in keeping with the tradition that the craftsman leader serves as the deputy city lord. '
This sentence is enough, without saying anything, Wilson didn't dare to complain anymore. At best, he caught the other artisans under his hand and cursed, "It is not traditional to feed you all, but it is quite traditional to starve you all to death."
Carriage Square has expanded more than a dozen times in area and more than a dozen times in manpower. More people require better management, good running-in, and reasonable rules and regulations.
None of these had existed in the past, and Zhou Qingfeng was unable to copy the real-world system. Wilson had to build a little bit according to the actual situation in the alien world. For this reason, he was tired to death every day, dizzy and dizzy.
"Working for Your Excellency Hugo is harder than working for the noble master." Wilson secretly slandered, "The advantage is that there is no beating or scolding, enough wages, and living supplies to ensure that the whole family will not be hungry. ... ... "
Thinking of the difference in current life, Wilson would think of the so-called'fourth district' that just moved in the city. That was the department directly under Zhou Qingfeng's management. After Enissa arrived in Coldwind City, she first began to relocate the personnel and equipment of these key organizations.
Wilson is responsible for a lot of resettlement and acceptance work. He can see that the people in the'fourth district' are also artisans, and most of them are carpenters. But these carpenters are few words, and the equipment they use is also unique-they are pulled by a carriage and not shown to outsiders.
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 processing efficiency that is a hundred times higher than that of manual work, and the quality is more guaranteed. Another example is to replace the original measuring tools with different craftsmen who could not be connected to a unified measuring tool.
Changes always lead to discussion and resistance, and Wilson suppressed them all. But he mentioned the current ideological status of the craftsmen at the first Cold Wind City work week meeting. This time he was praised by Uncle Zhou...
"A craftsman who is unwilling to adapt to technological innovation and progress is not a good craftsman."
Boom..., shut up completely. Never open your mouth unless you shut up.
When Wilson returned to his manufacturing department, he opened a meeting to unify his thoughts, scolding the craftsmen for their unorganized vices, asking them to correct the wrong idea of working on their own, and learn how to become a nail in teamwork.
Traditional craftsmen are passed down from father to son, and they are educated by mentoring. A family has done the same kind of work for generations, rarely communicates with the outside world, and technological progress is extremely slow.
In the past, carriages and the like were durable goods of the nobles, but they were consumables in wars. Zhou Qingfeng is about to fight now. It's not a matter of life or death. There is no time to wait for his subordinates to show the spirit of craftsmanship-to make Laozi quickly and desperately.
If it weren't for the secrets of the'fourth district' that could not be revealed, Zhou Qingfeng wished to throw all the craftsmen of Coldwind City into the'fourth district' to go back to the furnace to rebuild.
The craftsmen of the "Fourth District" are all direct descendants of Zhou Qingfeng's cultivation in the Black Forest. After six months of continuous iteration, the woodworking lathe they made has been updated to the second generation, and it is no longer a huqin-like mess.
Wilson still doesn’t know the status of the “Fourth District”, but he has already seen how powerful this mysterious department is-in carriage manufacturing, axles and spokes are difficult. Basically every car is made differently, and hand-made is very slow. .
But just unifying the rules and regulations of all craftsmen will save a lot of trouble, at least everyone's things are roughly the same. Just the interchangeability of parts made it possible for old carpenters to correct the work, but now an apprentice can also do it.
In the past, the nobles required the carriage to be beautiful and luxuriously decorated. Now that I have changed to a new city owner, the aesthetics have changed-I don't want to be beautiful, just be practical. Make it to me quickly and easily, and don't talk nonsense about the others.
In addition to having no requirements for appearance, Uncle Zhou has a lot of requirements for other aspects of the carriage. In the past, wagons used wooden axles, but now they use iron axles. The wooden bearing will creak with a load of two hundred kilograms, while the iron bearing will still run fast with a load of 500 kilograms.
Forged iron shafts have little wear and require little maintenance. The only drawback is that they are expensive. However, the Black Forest Forge brought out a hundred iron shafts in one go, enough for the carriage workshop of Coldwind City to transform dozens of original vehicles in the city.
The transformed carriage was immediately pulled out by Zhou Qingfeng to fight with others.
