It took more than ten days to weave a bolt of silk. To meet the needs of the entire set of clothes, including cutting and sewing, it took nearly a month and a half to complete a set of Han clothing, not including the design. This was for some of the less used patterned silks, which would not be woven to a complete bolt of silk. Instead, it would stop after meeting the needs.
Lin would not easily throw away the remaining pieces of cloth after cutting. Other than the parts that were kept as samples, these pieces of cloth were used as much as possible. They were sewn into some small bags and cloth bags, which were quite useful for holding small things. No matter what, these were precious magic materials.
At the same time, the construction of the west wing was faster.
Although the construction of the house was huge, it could not withstand the Grand Duke's many people. And for the sake of his home, Lin did not let the Grand Duke's craftsmen act recklessly. He specially set aside time to draw the design plans and indicate the main points of the construction before handing it over to the construction team.
The Grand Duke's construction team had handled many big projects, such as castles, towers, city walls, etc. And the most eye-catching project recently was the construction of the automobile manufacturing and R&D center's entire park. At the same time, Ruan Wenyue's craftsmen under the Jialong Chamber of Commerce also helped to build the central park.
But no matter what they did, when these craftsmen teams built a place, they still needed to recruit local workers. Only with enough manpower would they be able to accomplish anything. In today's Holy City of Estali, the first choice for all kinds of projects was of course the Technology Guild organized by Uzov Gantia.
The Technology Guild, which started with the reconstruction of the bathroom system, took on some projects from the original self-employed or small workshops according to their own specialties. The guild coordinated and let several teams work together to complete a project.
In the end, a group of people who cooperated well simply formed a team and could complete a complete project alone. Although these teams would inevitably have some small conflicts and problems in the early stages of establishment. But under Uzov's coordination, it would generally end peacefully. No matter how serious it was, it would not be to the point of bloodshed. At most, they would part on bad terms.
Today, the members of the Technology Guild had spontaneously divided into a few fixed large teams. Other than a few people with special skills who still accepted the commission as individuals or people who wandered between several teams, most people chose to work together. Because doing so was more efficient, and efficiency was equal to income. "Time is money," this sentence was born in the Lost Land.
As for the three-way cooperation in the construction of the central park, the Technology Guild had given the Grand Duke and the Jia Long Chamber of Commerce's craftsmen a thorough baptism.
Based on past experience, craftsmen who could be hired by the Grand Duke for a long time should be experienced and experienced, even if they weren't the best in their field. Not only were they knowledgeable, but they were also much better at doing things than the average craftsman. Although the Jia Long Chamber of Commerce's recruitment couldn't compare to the Grand Duke's men, they were still better than the commoners.
However, the Technical Guild, which emphasized efficiency and quality, was like a car with full horsepower. It was different from those old-school craftsmen who walked slowly with their own two legs. In terms of actual results, the Craftsmen Guild had long surpassed these old school craftsmen by leaps and bounds. What surprised Lin the most was that the Lost Lands were not like the Earth, where quality was reduced and efficiency was pursued. Instead, the Lost Lands were an ideal combination of both.
Perhaps the craftsmen of the Technology Guild didn't know more than the craftsmen employed by nobles and merchants. However, with enough work, it was enough for them to hone the skills they were good at to the point of perfection, allowing them to walk to the forefront of their respective fields.
In addition, the Technology Guild connected people with different fields of skills. This allowed the guild's team to complete projects not only better than the Grand Duke and the Jia Long Chamber of Commerce's craftsmen, but also faster. To a certain extent, the results of the Technology Guild's teamwork suppressed the other craftsmen's teams in all aspects.
It caused the managers of both sides to want to disband their own teams and recruit people under the Technology Guild instead.
However, the people gathered under the Guild, after more than a year of ups and downs, were very clear that their value could only be maximized by staying in the Guild, and they could also obtain the most benefits. Didn't you see that those who went out on their own would come back dejectedly in the end? Those who were recruited by high-ranking officials also had barely satisfactory lives.
Secondly, how much you gained from staying in the Technology Guild depended on how much you put in. It didn't depend on whether or not you could curry favor with those important people. Many craftsmen who thought they had skills, but didn't want to be hired by important people, especially cared about this point. Therefore, there wasn't a single person who accepted the Grand Duke or the Jia Long Chamber of Commerce's invitation.
Since they couldn't poach people, then they would steal skills. They would learn as much as they could. However, the real value of the Technology Guild didn't lie in the craftsmen under it, but in the Guild's organization, similar to the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary's Guild's system of issuing rewards and member evaluation.
And what was even better than the two major guilds was that the Technology Guild would take the initiative to matchmake work, so that there would be someone to do all the work, and everyone would have something to do. In order to coordinate the cooperation of multiple teams, they would use various methods to control the progress of the project, and arrange for different teams to connect when necessary. And according to their accumulated experience, they would estimate the time and cost needed.
This set of dazzling management system was the idea of a certain magician. His apprentice used P language to compile a set of very simple software.
Of course, this' simple 'was Lin's evaluation, and it only referred to the front-end interface. The core algorithm wasn't simple at all, it was completely the most cutting-edge technology that a certain someone knew. Of course, the efficiency of the operation wasn't necessarily comparable to the level of Earth. After all, the people doing the work weren't professional code farmers. But for the people in the Land of Enchantment, this system was already amazing.
But how to steal a 'system'? The people in the Land of Enchantment had no idea at all and could only be dumbfounded. In the end, they could only steal the system and concepts of the Technology Guild, and then find a way to do the same thing with enough manpower. It was like a certain grand duke's boast that he had plenty of people with two legs.
Fortunately, the two major teams didn't have many people, and there was still a way to integrate and coordinate with a few deacons who were good at handling affairs. But these deacons unanimously agreed that they couldn't imagine at all how to manage a thousand members, dozens of teams large and small, and hundreds of work commissions from the outside like the Technology Guild.
Coupled with the help of two major weapons, cars and trucks, radiating out from Area VI, the Technology Guild had the momentum to unify the construction and manufacturing industries of the Holy City of Estalli.
The construction of the west wing was a project that the grand duke's team of craftsmen worked with the Technology Guild again after the car manufacturing and R&D center.
Because it was related to the place where his granddaughter would live, Duke Carvey was worried that no one of his own would be involved in the project. Even if all the projects were to be contracted by the Technology Guild, the quality and speed would be faster. Even if the head of the Technology Guild was that mage's follower, it was impossible for him to let the master he followed live in a building with trash construction. Duke Carvey also required that his people must join.
Therefore, in the face of the strength of the Technology Guild, the team of craftsmen that belonged to Duke Carvey could only passively cooperate with the approach of the Technology Guild. Then they exploded with efficiency and quality that they themselves couldn't imagine.
When the grand duke's craftsmen thought about it after sunset, they would also be surprised that they had done more work than usual in one day. Although it was tiring, there was also an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
This kind of phenomenon did not only happen to one person, but was common to everyone. To be honest, even those who worked under the Technology Guild would be infected by the positive and united atmosphere of the guild members. Before the construction of the central park, everyone did their own thing, so this feeling wasn't strong.
Even those old craftsmen with high craftsmanship and ability might have been a little dismissive of the work assigned to them at the beginning, because it was too simple. But as the work was completed one by one, the tasks assigned by the foreman also gradually became more difficult.
In the end, if they didn't focus on the work and give 100% of their ability, they really might be stumped, or they wouldn't be able to make it in time for the people in the next process to connect. Then, seeing the progress of the overall project slowed down because of themselves, bathed in the disdainful gazes of everyone, that sour feeling was especially motivating.
There was this efficiency because of what those people who stood in every corner of the site, called foremen, did. These people were usually the most capable craftsmen in a construction team. But their duty was to always exchange glances with the water mirror screen and the site.
On the screen was the progress of each construction section, as well as the next steps to be taken. The foremen assigned people on the site according to these instructions, and gave each participant a score of completion. These scores were related to whether the constructor could take on more difficult work, or should do some simpler work.
But things like just following the script, even a monkey could do it. Their real important part was to guide the constructor on the site at all times, as well as rescue in all kinds of unexpected situations. Because of this, these foremen had to be skilled enough, and they also had to have enough prestige to convince people. They couldn't be promoted by nepotism or flattery.
The Grand Duke's team of craftsmen was able to get into the situation so quickly after lowering themselves to integrate into the operation of the Technology Guild, thanks to this management system.
After all, the prototype of the Technology Guild was a motley crew of craftsmen who weren't familiar with each other, and their tacit understanding was far inferior to that of teams who had worked together for a long time. The system designed by Lin was a stopgap measure to integrate this motley crew.
Of course, it was very complicated to use. It was like treating everyone as part of a machine, rigidly using various technical indicators and time control, and requiring everyone to do a certain level of work within a time limit.
If those who couldn't do it, their evaluation would drop, and they would be assigned to do simpler work, and of course, their salary indicators would drop; those who did well and had spare energy, their evaluation would rise, and they would do more difficult work, and they would get more pay.
But as far as someone's evaluation of this process control system was concerned, even the so-called militarized management on Earth was more humane.
What was surprising was that this system was surprisingly compatible in the Maze Land.
