389 Become a Sweatshop Leader? (Monthly Pass 3620 (3/8)
The brick making machine should be very fast.
When you use machinery, you won’t need so many people, and you can also quickly improve your production efficiency.
At the same time, find someone to improve the kiln firing technology, or arrange for people to study along the coast.
Direct firing of red bricks requires less time, rather than blue bricks.
Liu Chunlai didn't know how many years could the red brick be used.
However, all kinds of ancient buildings, even the wall bricks used in the Great Wall, are all blue bricks, and there should be no problem for thousands of years.
After the reform and opening up, everything is based on economic benefits.
For the same brick, blue bricks take a long time and huge manpower; while red bricks will save most of the time from making to firing. It is not a special ancient building and cultural relics protection unit, so there is basically no blue bricks to appear.
As for other places?
If you paint a layer of paint on the outside, you will pretend to be blue bricks.
"When they got back, they said they had to complete the design first, make the prototype, and pull it over to test it. If they failed, they had to change it..." Liu Zhaoguang said.
Liu Chunlai nodded, "Do you have anything else now? Let's go to Yaochangwan to take a look."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here to find you. There are many people there now, I'm here to ask you to give me some advice." Liu Zhaoguang smiled.
Liu Chunlai was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Just walk out the door.
Mr. Liu Ba summoned several talkers from the Liu family to plan to teach the Liu family's bachelors and then pass the exam before they can ask for the wife.
Liu Chunlai only has one such thing, which cannot affect his work during the day.
Whatever these boring old men want to do is their business.
In less than a month, Kiachangwan had changed a lot.
There was a little white smoke rising from the top of the kilns.
In the open space below, dozens of people were busy.
Some people knocked down stone grains from the red stone grain mountain next to them, while others used chicken buses to push these large pieces of red stone grains towards the crushed area next to them.
In the crushing area, a group of dark-skinned, shirtless, and thin men were covered with fleshy bodies, holding two hammers to smash the pieces of stone millet.
The crushed grains of the grit are sieved directly with a sieve. Someone shovels into the newly dug pool next to it, and then pours some water.
Next to the pool, several half-person-high stone mills were slowly rotating under the push of manpower.
In the stone mill, what is pushed is not grain, but grated stone mill powder!
Mixed stone millet powder with dried stone millet powder.
You even need to lead the cow and let the cow step back and forth in the mixed soil.
Finally, the soil is molded into bricks with wood.
"Why is it so troublesome? Is it necessary to burn blue bricks like this?"
Seeing this scene, Liu Chunlai frowned.
No wonder the blue bricks are not willing to be made by the kiln factory.
Just the previous process has wasted too much manpower.
Even if there is a machine, it will cost no low cost.
When they saw Liu Chun coming, the people working all greeted him.
Either calling you Uncle Liu Chunlai or calling you grandpa.
There are very few brothers who call for Chunlai.
Liu Zhaoguang sighed, "The soil is relatively fine, mix evenly, and you can make bricks by stepping on it with a cow. Didn't you say before that the soil on our side is weak, and a layer of soil on the surface needs to be filled into other soils to thicken the soil..."
Why has this become my own fault again?
When I went to this Yaochangwan with Mr. Liu Ba, I seemed to have said that?
But the cost of such a process...
Liu Chunlai didn't dare to think about it.
"It's so troublesome, no wonder I only gave birth to such a little bit in one day..." Liu Chunlai sighed.
In order to save some soil, these people even spared no effort to solve this problem.
Hearing this, Liu Zhaoguang thought that Liu Chunlai despised that he had produced too few people on this day and was too crowded, and he suddenly became anxious. "It was hot at noon and it was not cool around. Every day, the kiln factory started working at 4:30 in the morning. When it was 11:30 in the afternoon, everyone went to the public cafeteria for dinner and went home to rest. It was dark from 4:30 in the afternoon. If you think it was a long time and you could start work at 3:00 in the afternoon, it would not be so hot at that time..."
“…”
This is how sweatshops come from?
I immediately thought, this was wrong.
This kiln factory belongs to the collective industry of the fourth team.
It took 7 hours to 11:30, and it was already dark from 4:30 to 8:30 in the afternoon, and it was another 4 hours.
Working 11 hours a day, it’s still a heavy physical work.
"How much does a day's wage?" Liu Chunlai asked.
"A day, 18 yuan a month, and lunch is served..." Liu Zhaoguang looked at Liu Chunlai nervously, "There are 63 people in the kiln factory. I have calculated it with Xie Gaoquan before. The current output, the cost of each brick needs about one or two pieces, which is indeed a bit high. We will find a way to increase the output to reduce the cost, and try to control it within one cent..."
Liu Chun looked at him, a little frightened.
"I said Zhaoguang, aren't these people from my Liu family?" Liu Chunlai couldn't understand his thoughts.
Typical bloody capitalist.
Including costs such as labor, coal, living expenses, etc., a brick is only about two-fold.
What is the market price?
If you pull the market price yourself, you will get two points and one piece!
Including shipping costs, it's even more expensive!
If it is transported manually...
"It's because they are from the Liu family that they can't take advantage. The monthly salary of 18 yuan has already made many people break their heads..." Liu Zhaoguang's answer made Liu Chunlai unable to understand.
People’s thinking in this era are not on the same channel.
"What's the price for picking bricks from here in the brigade?" Liu Chun looked at the person who was busy in the brick factory and was sweating all over, and felt a little sad.
It’s really not that everyone is not working hard.
Instead, there is a lack of opportunity to give them work hard.
No wonder most of this generation eventually gave up their land in the 1990s and entered construction sites and factory assembly lines.
Become a small screw on a huge industrial machine...
"This is the industry in the team, so where does it need to be settled? The salary is paid by the team..." Liu Zhaoguang didn't understand what Liu Chunlai meant.
"Eat big pot rice again?"
Liu Chunlai's eyebrows started to beat him up.
"When you take back the land, isn't it just that you are doing collective production? Eat a big pot meal? Those who handed it over to eat a big pot meal?" Liu Zhaoguang asked Liu Chunlai.
grass!
If you eat a big pot of rice, would it take so much effort?
Is it necessary to implement a system of basic salary plus bonus?
This matter must be taken seriously.
"What my father said?" Liu Chunlai felt that he needed to go back and talk to his father.
It is absolutely not OK to eat a big pot of rice.
Many companies developed well at the beginning, but ended up pouring because of eating a big pot of rice.
