Chapter 270: ：Division of labor in each department

Chen Chao called the two directors and deputy ministers of the knitting department, Huang Huo and Xiaohua, to rub ramie (ramie) hemp, and he freed his hands to play the first waist machine of the Tianyuan tribe.
It is known that the main tools of the original waist machine are: the front and back two beams, which are equivalent to the winding shaft and the warp beam on modern looms.
There is no fixed distance bracket between them, but a person is used instead of the bracket, which is tied to the waist of the weaver with a belt; there is also a knife, a tumbler, a thicker warp splitter and a thinner Heald.
When weaving, the weaver sits on the ground, relying on the position of the feet and the waist to control the tension of the warp.
The warp is divided into two layers by the warp splitter to form a natural shed, and then a bamboo heddle is used to vertically pass the upper warp through the upper warp with a bamboo heddle rod to pull the lower warp one by one. Lifting the stick by hand can reverse the position of the upper and lower layers to form a new weave. Many upper and lower layers of warp yarns are tied together in one heddle, thus the term "comprehensive".
After the weft thread passes through the weaving opening, a wooden machete (that is, a beating knife) is used to beat the weft. It may be a thin wooden rod or a spicule with a weft thread wrapped around it.
The original waist knitting machine has three main motions: opening up and down weaving, threading weft insertion left and right, and tightening weft back and forth. It has the most basic textile weaving function and demonstrates the basic principles of fabrics.
Compared with weaving technology, it is a big leap. The original waist knitting machine realized the interweaving of warp and weft yarns into cloth and silk, which enabled human beings to bid farewell to the ignorant age of grass-clothing and wood-food and enter the civilized age of textiles.
The original waist machine is also one of the oldest and simplest looms.
After understanding the general idea, Chen Chao used his golden finger to find a general reference picture.
Now that there are pictures and ideas, it can be opened directly.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
When Chen Chao saw that piece of cloth, which was not even considered a dress, he felt mixed.
Huang Huo and Xiao Hua also have mixed feelings in their hearts. Engaging in this stuff can be compared to rubbing straw ropes and weaving straw sandals alone, which is much more tired...
Now that the finished product came out, she had the courage to ask the deputy chief what this was doing.
After all, this thing is not like straw rope or straw sandals. She guessed it many times, but she didn't guess what it was.
Chen Chao thought for a moment and replied, "This is the same as our animal skin clothes. Now it is hot, and I wear animal skins on my body and I sweat every day.
But the new linen cloth we made is different. It is light, soft and cool to wear.
In the future, I will get more waist knitting machines. The straw rope work in your knitting department will be released first, so let people do this.
Strive to let all the people of our tribe put on clothes made of linen cloth before summer arrives.
It is best for everyone to have two to three sets of appearance, two sets are changed and one set is spare.
However, everyone can make one set first, and then add the remaining two sets slowly. "
Since then, the entire Tianyuan tribe has one more night activity, that is, after attending the evening school where you learn Mandarin, you still need to receive your own ramie (ramie) from the knitting department and help you rub it on your legs...
According to this progress, the three carts of ramie (ramie) he brought back soon became insufficient. Chen Chao sent Qu and Li Nong to the hemp tribe with the white beard and old man.
By the way, take some special products of this tribe and meet some tribes along the way, and you can also make some transactions with them. Also let Qu and Li Nong practice once, and have a wave of ‘business diplomacy’ alone.
The "Ministry of Commerce and Foreign Affairs" trip has a total of 20 people, 8 bullock carts, of which 6 are empty carts and 2 are loaded with cargo. The duration is 7-10 days.
The main task is to bring back large quantities of ramie (ramie), it is best to fill all 8 ox carts, and the rest of the transaction is incidental.
It's better to be able to bring back a new population, Chen Chao also specifically explained that this time, more adult women can come back.
After sending the "Ministry of Commerce and Foreign Affairs" away, Chen Chao plunged into the Ministry of Construction again. The construction of the small square is already halfway through, and it is estimated that it will be completed before the first season of rice harvesting.
At that time, you can still use the grains for drying. After the grains are dried, you can hold a sacrifice to the heart of a little old man with horns~~
But there is one more thing to do in the middle, and that is the holding of the rally.
It was originally set five times a year, once at the turn of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and once when the moon is full on Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, because there are only a few tribes he knows, Chen Chao is worried that there may not be too many people coming.
But no matter how many people come, what kind of pottery, straw sandals, straw ropes, etc., that's enough.
As for the exchange of bronzes, don't think about it for now.
In addition, he also made a batch of wind-powered wheelbarrows at the wood processing point and the bronze processing point.
Because both the Jie tribe and the fishing tribe have shown great interest in wind wheelbarrows.
And even if it can’t be sold, the amount used in the tribe is very large. In general, the supply exceeds demand.
Bronze processing points and wood processing points are basically working hard every day.
But even the ox carts and ploughs of the 68 cows brought back this time were not made. Like the "Ministry of Commerce and Foreign Affairs" that Qu and Li Nong took this time, the 8 ox carts were exhausted of bronze processing. The recent inventory of points and wood processing points.
Before these two departments could catch their breath, they took the people under them and went to work.
In general, there is still a shortage of people and skills! Lack of skilled technicians!
Even if nearly 100 people were added some time ago, most of these people are still immersed in their previous slash-and-burn thinking.
It will take some time for them to fully integrate into various departments, especially those with certain technical content.
Chen Chao recalled that the main departments of the Tianyuan tribe were hunting department, construction department, pottery department, agriculture department, animal husbandry department, logistics department, weaving department, bronze processing point, wood processing point.
The hunting team has now been upgraded to the hunting department, with a total of three teams.
They are the first team of leader Yuan, the first team of Cao Jia and Cao B.
The three teams set off in different directions every day, and every day before sunset, regardless of their harvest, they will return to the Tianyuan tribe to gather, and the same is true the next day.
The construction department is also divided into two major departments and teams.
The wall construction department and the house construction department are subdivided further down, as are the brick-moving team, the wall-laying team, the mold manufacturing team, the foundation team, and the roof processing team.
Chen Chao's original tendency was to treat the building of houses as an assembly line.
He felt that it was difficult for a person to learn to build a house alone.
But it is relatively easy for a person to learn to build walls/dig foundations/make molds and only do this.
And this is more conducive to increasing the construction speed.
Of course, Chen Chao also considered that this operation would be boring for a long time.
He also set up a rotation system so that he can apply for a period of time. For example, he is tired of building walls and wants to do something else.
As long as you apply in advance and bring out a student who can replace you, you can switch to the department you want to go to.
In addition, the Ministry of Construction has a special R&D team, which is mainly responsible for the R&D of two-story or three-story buildings.
Chen Chao provides drawings and general ideas, as well as regular supervision and inspection, and the rest are handled by the R&D team itself.
The pottery department is also divided into two major departments, pottery firing and brick firing.
Considering that the demand for pottery is not so much now, the pottery firing department has to work part-time in the mold firing work of the bronze processing point.
The Ministry of Agriculture is divided into two major departments, namely the Planting Department and the Wasteland Reclamation Department.
The Planting Department is responsible for the cultivation of all crops of the Tianyuan tribe, such as rice, wheat, cabbage and ramie (ramie), and wild vegetables such as small tree vegetables and fruit vegetables.
Even the pasture (eaten by cows and horses) and long grass (used for rubbing the rope) are under their control.
The boundary between the plantation department and the wasteland reclamation department is not obvious, because the two will change at any time when needed.
After the planting department has sowed, two-thirds of the people will join the land reclamation department and participate in the land reclamation.
The remaining one-third of the people can’t get anywhere easily. They are responsible for the care and fertilizer of all fields.
Generally speaking, if you don't dig up wasteland, they will take care of all the remaining chores.
