Knight of the Light

In Banshee Fortress, reactionary forces are gathered, while Cold Wind City is transforming society in an efficient way to prepare for war.

After Inessa's arrival, she officially issued a letter of appointment to Wilson, Deputy City Owner (in charge of manufacturing). The former president of the artisans took a long time to receive this appointment, and felt that Zhou Qingfeng's deputy city owner was different from what he had imagined.

The former deputy city lord Lehman has power and can do whatever he wants, but without any pressure and responsibility. Now the deputy city lord Wilson has business to do, he has to report every week, and he will be scolded if he does not do well.

There are several similar deputy lords. Justin is also the deputy lord (in charge of urban health and disease control), Mondino is also the deputy lord (in charge of education and wizard development), and the old knight Naser is also deputy lord (in charge of the army). Construction).

"This deputy city lord is not aristocratic at all." Wilson said to himself, and he could not say whether he should be satisfied or disappointed, and even did not dare to reveal his thoughts. All he could do was work hard.

If Zhou Qingfeng wanted to shift all human and material resources to the war system, Inessa had to break down his orders into specific affairs. She had never been exposed to similar issues in Blaze Village, and it was only possible that Sofia continued to provide her with reference.

Since war is going on, transportation is a must. There is a carriage house in the east of the city, which was originally a Lehman property. There are four or five carpenters, plus a dozen apprentices, specializing in the production and maintenance of carriages.

On the first day of his appointment, Wilson received a task from Inessa to confirm the number of craftsmen in the city, the type 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 very natural planning and management, but it is very unusual in Wilson's eyes. "The noble masters of the past have never given such specific mission goals. Hit and kill. "

Wilson must do his work carefully and have specific numbers to report. For example, there are several craftsmen in the carriage house, who are their last names, their ages, and their skill levels.

He also appoints special personnel to manage the manufacture of vehicles, just like sending someone to produce furniture for tables and chairs, who is responsible for transportation logistics, and who specializes in contact records. Such a detailed division of labor has never been before.

All artisans are unaccustomed to such changes, they are used to working from start to finish. Wilson also faintly expressed to Inessa that such management is not in line with tradition, and the result was sentenced back ...

‘It ’s also not a tradition for the craftsman chief to serve as the deputy city owner. ’

This is enough, no need to say anything, Wilson will never dare complain. At most, the other artisans under his hand grabbed and yelled, ‘It ’s not traditional for you to eat, but it ’s traditional to starve you all’.

The carriage house has expanded by more than ten times, and the manpower has increased by more than ten times. More people need better management, good running-in, and reasonable rules and regulations.

None of this has happened in the past, and Zhou Qingfeng couldn't copy the real-world system. Wilson had to build it a little bit according to the actual situation in the other world. To this end, he was exhausted every day, dizzy.

"Working for His Excellency Hugo is harder than working for the noble grandfather." Wilson secretly slandered, "The advantage is not to be beaten, not to be scolded, enough wages, and living rations to ensure that the whole family will not be hungry. ... "

Thinking of the difference in his current life, Wilson would think of the so-called 'fourth district' just moved in the city. It was a department directly under the management of Zhou Qingfeng. When Inessa arrived in Cold Wind City, the first batch of personnel and equipment of these key institutions began to be relocated.

Wilson is in charge of many settlements and accepting work. He can see that the people in ‘Fourth District’ ​​are also artisans, and most of them are carpenters. But these carpenters are taciturn and use different equipment-they use a horse-drawn carriage and do not show them to outsiders.

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

For example, a specialized woodworking planer has a processing efficiency that is a hundred times higher than manual production, and the quality is more guaranteed. Another example is to replace the original measuring tools that are different from each other in one breath and change to a unified measuring tool.

Change always sparks debate and resistance, and Wilson suppresses them all. But he mentioned the state of mind of the current craftsman at the first Cold Wind City Work Week meeting.

"Artisans who are unwilling to adapt to technological innovation and progress are not good artisans."

Hmm ..., shut up completely. Never open your mouth without shutting up again.

Wilson returned to his manufacturing department to open a meeting to unify his thoughts, scolded the craftsmen for their disorderly habits, and required them to correct the wrong concept of going it alone and learning how to become a nail in teamwork.

Traditional craftsmen are passed down from father to son, and apprenticeship is apprenticeship. A family has been doing the same kind of work for generations, and rarely communicates with the outside world. Technology progress is extremely slow.

In the past, carriages and the like were noble durables, but they were consumables in the war. Zhou Qingfeng is going to fight now. At the juncture of life and death, how can I wait for his men to play the spirit of craftsmanship-make Lao Tzu quickly, and make hard work.

If the secret of the "Fourth District" could not be leaked, Zhou Qingfeng would hate to throw all the craftsmen of the Cold Wind City into the "Fourth District" to rebuild it.

The craftsmen of the "Fourth District" are all Zhou Qingfeng's sheltered and cultivated lines in the Black Forest. After half a year of continuous iteration, the woodworking lathes they have developed have been updated to the second generation, and they are no longer louks like shit.

Wilson is not clear about the situation in the "Fourth District", but he has seen the power of this mysterious department-in the manufacture of carriages, the axles and spokes are difficult. Basically, every car is different. slow.

But just by unifying the rules of all the artisans, there is a lot of trouble, at least the things that everyone makes are almost the same. Just the interchangeability of parts makes it possible for the old carpenter to make corrections in the past. Now he can find an apprentice.

In the past, aristocrats demanded that the carriages be beautiful and luxuriously decorated. Now that I have changed to a new town owner, my aesthetics have changed-I don't want to be beautiful, just be practical. Make it for me quickly and easily, and don't make other nonsense.

Except that there is no requirement on the appearance, Uncle Chou has more requirements on other aspects of the carriage. In the past, carriages used wooden shafts, but now iron shafts. A wooden bearing carrying two hundred kilograms will creak, and an iron bearing carrying five hundred kilograms will run fast.

The forged iron shaft has less wear and tear, and even less maintenance. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive. However, one hundred iron shafts were transported out of the Black Forest Forge in one fell swoop, which was enough to transform the original dozens of vehicles in the city in the cold wind city.

After the transformation, the carriage was immediately pulled out by Zhou Qingfeng to fight with others.
