It takes more than ten days to weave a piece of silk. To meet the needs of a complete set of clothes, plus cutting and sewing, it takes nearly a month and a half to complete a set of Hanfu, not including the design. This is still some patterned silk that is used less. It will not be woven to a complete batch, but will stop after meeting the demand.
Lin will not throw away the remaining rags after cutting. These rags were used as much as possible, except as part of the sample collection. It is quite easy to sew them into some small bags or cloth bags to hold small things. In any case, these are precious magic materials.
The West Pavilion, which is currently under construction at the same time, is being constructed at a faster pace.
Although the project of building a house was huge, it could not withstand the large number of people called by the Grand Duke. And for the sake of his own family, Lin did not let the Grand Duke's craftsmen do whatever they wanted. I specially set aside time to draw the design drawings and indicate the key points of construction before handing it over to the construction team for construction.
The Grand Duke's construction team has handled many large projects, such as castles, towers, city walls, etc. The project that has attracted the most attention recently is the construction of the entire park of the automobile manufacturing and R&D center. At the same time, there was also a team of craftsmen belonging to Nguyen Van Viet under the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce to help build the central park.
But no matter what they do, when these craftsman teams build in one place, they still need to recruit local people. You need enough manpower to make it happen. In today's holy city of Estali, the first choice for commissioning various large and small projects is of course the Technical Guild organized by Uzov Gantia.
The technical guild, which started out by renovating bathroom and toilet systems, undertook some projects based on their respective expertise from the original self-employed or small workshops. The guild is the central coordinator, allowing several teams to work together to complete a project.
Later, a group of people who cooperated happily formed a team and could carry out a complete project alone. Although these teams will inevitably have some minor frictions and problems in the early stages of their establishment. But under Uzov's coordination, the conflict generally ended amicably; no matter how serious it was, it wouldn't be bloody, and at most it would end on bad terms.
Today, members of the technical guild have spontaneously divided into several relatively fixed large teams. Except for those who have special skills and still accept commissions as individuals, or who move between several teams, most people choose to join forces. Because it’s more efficient, and efficiency equals income. The saying 'time is money' came into being in Lost World.
As for the tripartite cooperation in building the central park, the Technology Guild gave the Grand Duke and the Jialong Chamber of Commerce's craftsmen team a thorough baptism.
According to past experience, the craftsmen who can be hired by the Grand Duke for a long time should be veterans and skilled hands, even if they are not the top ones in the field. Not only do they know a lot, they also do things better than ordinary folk craftsmen. Although the people recruited by the Jialong Chamber of Commerce are not as good as those of the Grand Duke, they are still better than those of the private sector.
But the technical guild that emphasizes efficiency and quality is like a car with full horsepower. It is different from those old-school craftsmen who walk slowly on their own two legs. In terms of performance of actual results, the technical guild has long been inferior to these old-school craftsmen. What surprised Lin the most was that Midi was not the result of lowering quality and pursuing efficiency like Earth, but the ideal state of taking both into account.
Perhaps the craftsmen in the technical guild don't know much more than the craftsmen employed by nobles and wealthy merchants. But enough workload is enough to hone the skills they are good at to the point of proficiency and move to the forefront of their respective fields.
In addition, the technical guild horizontally connects people with technologies in different fields, so that the projects completed by the guild team are not only better than the craftsman teams of the Grand Duke and Jialong Chamber of Commerce, but also faster. To a certain extent, the result of teamwork by the technical guild is to suppress other craftsman teams in all aspects.
As a result, the leaders of both parties wanted to disband their teams and recruit people from the Technology Guild instead.
But the people gathered under the guild, after more than a year of ups and downs, they know very well that only by staying in the guild can they maximize their value and gain the most benefits. Don't look at those who go out independently, but they will come back in despair in the end; those who are recruited by dignitaries, their lives are not satisfactory.
Secondly, how much you gain from staying in a technical guild depends on how much you put in; it does not depend on whether you can flatter yourself or whether you can please the big shots. Many craftsmen who think they are talented but do not want to be employed by big names are particularly concerned about this. Therefore, no one accepted the invitation from the Grand Duke or the Jialong Chamber of Commerce team.
Since you can't recruit anyone, let's learn skills secretly. Learn as much as you can. But the real value of a technical guild does not lie in the craftsmen underneath, but in the guild organization's system of bounty announcements and member evaluations, similar to those of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild.
What is even better than the two major guilds in Midi is that the Technology Guild will also take the initiative to coordinate work so that all the work can be done by someone and everyone has something to do. Even in order to coordinate the cooperation of multiple teams, various methods are used to control the progress of the project, and when necessary, arrangements are made for connection between different teams. And based on accumulated experience, estimate the time and cost required.
This dazzling management system came from the idea of a certain magician, and was compiled into a very crude software by his apprentice using P language.
Of course, this "crude" is Lin's evaluation, and it only refers to the front-end interface; the core algorithm is not crude at all, it is completely the most cutting-edge technology known to someone. Of course, the operational efficiency may not be comparable to the level of the earth. After all, the people doing the work are not professional programmers. But for people who are lost in this world, this system is already astonishing.
But how to steal a 'system'? People who are lost in the land have no idea at all and can only be dumbfounded. In the end, we can only steal the system concepts of technical guilds and find ways to use enough manpower to do the same thing. Just like the boast of a certain grand duke, he has many people with two legs.
Fortunately, the number of people in each of the two major teams is not large. We invited several deacons who are good at handling affairs, and there are still ways to achieve integration and coordination. But these deacons unanimously agreed that they could not imagine how to manage a technology guild with thousands of members, dozens of teams, and hundreds of external work delegations.
Coupled with the help of the two powerful tools of cars and trucks, radiating from Area VI, the Technology Guild has the momentum to unify the construction and manufacturing world of the Holy City of Estali.
The construction of the West Pavilion is a project that the Grand Duke's craftsman team once again cooperated with the Technical Guild after the automobile manufacturing and R&D center.
Because it was related to the place where his granddaughter would live, Duke Kawei was worried that no one of his own would be involved in the project. Even if all projects are contracted by the technical guild, the quality and speed will be faster. Even if the head of the technical guild is a follower of the magician, it is impossible for the master he follows to live in a building of Zha Engineering. Duke Kawei also requires that his people must join.
Therefore, in the face of the strength of the Technology Guild, the craftsman team affiliated with Kaweigong could only passively cooperate with the Technology Guild's practices. Then they broke out with efficiency and quality that they themselves could not have imagined.
When the Grand Duke's craftsmen look back after finishing work at sunset, they will be surprised that they have done more work in a day than usual. Although tiring, there is an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
This phenomenon does not only happen to one person, but is common to everyone. To be honest, even if you work under the technical guild, you will be infected by the positive and harmonious atmosphere of the guild members. In the past, when building the central park, everyone did their own thing, and this feeling was not strong.
Even those old craftsmen with high skills and abilities may be a little dissatisfied with the work assigned to them at the beginning because it is too simple. But as each piece of work is completed, the tasks assigned by the foreman gradually become more difficult.
In the end, if you don't focus on the work and give 100% of your ability, you may be stumped, or you may not be able to connect the people in the next process in time. Then seeing the progress of the overall project being slowed down because of me, and being basked in everyone's contemptuous gaze, that sour feeling was particularly motivating to make progress.
This efficiency is possible because of what the people called foremen who stand in every corner of the site do. These people are usually the most skilled craftsmen in a construction team. But their duty is to keep an eye on the water mirror screen and the scene at all times.
On the screen is the progress of each construction section, as well as prompts for the next steps. The foreman allocates manpower on site according to these instructions and gives each participant a completion score. These evaluations are related to whether the builder can take on more difficult jobs or whether he should do simpler jobs.
But just following the instructions can be done by a monkey. The really important part of them is to be on-site at any time to guide the construction workers and rescue them from various unexpected situations. Because of this, the skills of these foremen must be good enough, and they must also have enough prestige to convince others. They cannot get to the position by relying on nepotism or flattery.
The Grand Duke's craftsman team was able to enter the situation so quickly after putting aside their efforts to integrate into the operation of the technical guild. It was precisely because of this management system.
After all, the prototype of the technical guild was a temporary ragtag group of craftsmen who were unfamiliar with each other, and their tacit understanding was far inferior to those of teams that had been working together for a long time. The system designed by Lin can be regarded as an expedient measure to integrate these ragtag groups.
Of course, it is very complicated to use. It is like treating everyone as part of the machine, using various technical indicators and time control rigidly, and requiring everyone to achieve a certain level of things within the time limit.
If those who can't do it will have their evaluations dropped, and they will be assigned to do simpler tasks, of course their salary indicators will also decline; those who do well and have the ability to spare will have their evaluations rise, do more difficult tasks, and get more pay.
But one person's own evaluation of this process control system is that even the so-called militarized management of the earth is more humane.
What is surprising is that this system unexpectedly fits well in Lost Land.
