"Hmm, it seems like this place is still a little interesting …"
When Yang Rui brought Ren Sisi, Chen Xiaonan, and Xiaohui to the Linhai Docks in Huang County's Haitian City, Xiaohui casually commented after seeing the division of labor in the manufacturing of the ship's components.
However, Xiaohui's evaluation was not too high. Within the connected docks, Jiao Wen was responsible for distributing the processing tasks to each dock. However, when it came to the actual assembly of the ship, it needed to be carried out simultaneously in each dock.
As a result, within the same dock, about one-third of the craftsmen were focused on processing the components in a corner, another one-third were responsible for the assembly of the ship, and the remaining craftsmen were collecting the required components between the docks. The entire dock appeared somewhat busy and unorganized.
Yang Rui had communicated with Yang Rui before, hoping to separate the three processes of processing the components, circulating the components, and assembly of the ship. However, the system-set dock construction blueprint could not be changed, so it could not be done in a short period of time.
This time, Yang Rui had also moved the woodworking workshops to the docks. He intended to let the woodworking workshops produce the ship's components, while the docks were only responsible for the assembly of the ship's components.
Yang Rui's idea was good, but it was still rather troublesome to actually implement. It required a system-certified combination blueprint to link the docks and woodworking workshops.
As a Master Carpenter, Jiao Wen could design and draw up such construction blueprints. However, the time required was not short. It was not something that could be completed in one or two game months.
When Yang Rui had first planned the workshop industrial cluster, Jiao Wen had begun to take action. Even so, according to his estimates, it would take at least several game months to link the docks and woodworking workshops.
"This is already considered good. After the division of labor, the construction speed of the ship has greatly improved. Compared to before, the ship's construction speed is incomparable.
Moreover, Jiao Wen is also designing the blueprints to link the newly built woodworking workshops and docks. In a few months, you should be able to see a production scene with a clearer division of labor and a smoother construction process … "
Yang Rui said.
The truth was just as Yang Rui had said. Since the construction of the dock's woodworking workshop and the adoption of the division of labor, the speed of ship construction had nearly doubled.
At the very least, they would be able to gradually digest the orders they had received from the Trade Alliance's trade fair and would no longer have a backlog.
Ren Sisi and Chen Xiaonan also agreed with Yang Rui's opinion. With his farming background, it was already very difficult for Yang Rui to manage the handicraft workshop industry to such an extent.
Next, Yang Rui and the three women visited the remaining 10 workshops in the gathering area. Among them, only the tea production workshop was able to achieve initial production.
This was because the tea production process of picking, withering, fermenting, blanching, tanning, drying, frying, and refining were all clear and could be assigned to different people.
Planting tea was the responsibility of the tea farmers. At this time, there were a lot of tea trees in Mount Tai and Mount Dongshan. Yang Rui had also mobilized a lot of NPs to participate in the planting of new tea, so the work was relatively simple.
There was even less need to worry about planting tea in Siwu City. It was completely the raw tea materials that Wei Xiu'er had brought from the southern region. After the initial process of withering was carried out, they were transported back.
Therefore, the tea production process was relatively easy to achieve smooth production and division of labor.
Other industries such as ceramics were even more difficult to coordinate than wine brewing. Due to the lack of standards for making tires, the firing process could only be done by the person who made the tires. Otherwise, it would be difficult to control the heat and temperature.
To completely solve this problem, it also required a master craftsman to create a unified blueprint, so that the tire making process could be unified and the firing process could also have a unified standard.
Otherwise, it could only be done through the craftsmen's own experience and coordination between craftsmen to gradually establish a division of labor and tacit understanding, forming multiple cooperative working groups.
In short, even though Yang Rui had planned and built 10 industrial clusters, there was still a long way to go to achieve smooth production, or at least to achieve skilled cooperation.
The most obvious result was that through the integration and centralization of construction, the scale of production and the number of people working in the related industries had rapidly increased. Naturally, the production capacity had greatly increased.
This was also one of Yang Rui's initial goals. To achieve this, Yang Rui had not wasted a lot of manpower, money, and resources.
Another game month had passed. At the same time, a total of 10 industrial clusters in 4 categories had rapidly expanded. Along with the influx of foreign craftsmen, Yang Rui had also confirmed and started to build a few more industrial clusters.
The number of foreign craftsmen was simply too plentiful. Within 2 game months, the number of foreign craftsmen had already exceeded 40,000.
For relatively rare industries such as wine brewing, tea making, and ceramics, the foreign craftsmen were enough to fill up the first batch of industrial clusters, not to mention the other common industries.
This was also the main reason why Yang Rui was able to stimulate the growth of the various industries under Yang Rui's jurisdiction, and why he was able to quickly build the second batch of industrial clusters.
Since the craftsmen had rushed over, they were a huge asset to Yang Rui. Naturally, he had to make full use of them.
The first type of industrial clusters in the second batch were the blacksmith industrial clusters. Yang Rui had always placed great importance on the use of blacksmiths. In this batch, Yang Rui had planned a total of 19 industrial clusters, evenly distributed across the 3 prefectures, with each prefecture having one.
Among the industrial clusters, Yang Rui had planned special weapons, such as fine iron arrows and fine iron crossbows, in Taishan Prefecture. The products produced would be important strategic resources.
Among them, the fine iron crossbows were brought over by a high-grade blacksmith who was a hunter. Its value was not inferior to a hunting bow. There was no restriction on the soldier's occupation, only a 50 point Strength limit. This enriched Yang Rui's special products.
The number of craftsmen brought over by the foreign craftsmen was not small, but most of them were common products.
In terms of the blacksmith industry, the more unique products were the various farming tools. Yang Rui had also gathered all of these craftsmen and placed them in the industrial cluster of blacksmith workshops in Chen Liu City, specializing in the production of farming tools.
The second type was the industrial cluster of tailor workshops. In general, it was similar to the industrial cluster of blacksmith workshops. There were also 19 such clusters, and one was planned for each prefecture.
It was worth mentioning that Diaochan, as an expert in tailoring, had taken the initiative to propose to Yang Rui after hearing about Yang Rui's plans and actions.
With Diao Chan's participation, the quality of the products that the various tailor workshops could produce would increase by a large margin.
