Far away in Zhuozhou, Jian Yong, Xia Hou Zhuan and others began to look for carpenters to make looms. Here, Li Mengxi also got involved with the carpenter.

When setting up camp in the evening, because he had to train troops at night, Li Mengxi wanted to take advantage of the daylight to see where the open space was flat so that he could train there at night.

Carpenter Lu Li is here.

In the past, it was Li Mengxi who came to find Lu Li, but Lu Li never came to him once.

Li Mengxi took the initiative to learn about the progress of the carpenter camp, and Lu Li never took the initiative to report once.

Li Mengxi was surprised to see Lu Li coming.

"Lu Li, why are you looking for me?" Li Mengxi looked up at Lu Li and asked.

Lu Li hesitated and hesitated, as if he was embarrassed to speak.

"Say it!" Li Mengxi raised his foot and lightly kicked Lu Li with a smile.

Lu Li felt extremely embarrassed and hesitated, "Yingzheng, making torch holders and making bowls, can you not do it?"

Lu Li said, secretly looking at Li Mengxi, fearing that Li Mengxi would get angry.

"Oh?" Li Mengxi was surprised.

There are torch holders, wooden bowls, and, yes, shields. During the mountain attack a few days ago, not much other equipment was damaged, but the shield was damaged a lot.

The Yellow Turban bandits on the mountain threw a pebble and rolled it down. The drop was dozens of meters, and the shield cracked when it hit it with a snap of the gun.

In the battle that day, many shields in the army were damaged.

In addition to shields, you also need to make crutches.

Carts are in short supply, but these small items are also indispensable.

Therefore, when he heard Lu Li ask if the wooden bowl with a torch stand could be made without it, Li Mengxi knew that there was something unexpected going on here.

Li Mengxi asked Lu Li again why he no longer wanted to make small objects.

"It's because they don't want to do it." Lu Li felt embarrassed and scratched his head, "The cart makers have food when they are done, but they don't have food when they make small items."

"Oh!" Li Mengxi suddenly understood and slapped his head.

Come to think of it, the carpenter camp is roughly divided into two parts. In one part, a team of ten people works together to build a cart. A total of fifty teams make a cart.

Li Mengxi agreed that for those who make carts, they will be rewarded with food if they make a cart.

There were other chores coming up later, and there happened to be not enough carpenters left to divide into a team of ten, so Li Mengxi asked the remaining carpenters to make torch holders.

The problem lies here, they are all carpenters and they all work. The people who make cars have food, but the people who do odd jobs have no food. Naturally, the carpenters who do odd jobs stop working.

Fortunately, the person in charge is Li Mengxi, not Zhang Fei.

If Zhang Fei were in charge of the carpenter's camp, and if the carpenter dared to say no to the job, he would be whipped to death if he whipped the whip down, so the carpenter would not dare to say anything. Then what can he do? Others have food, but he has no food, so there is no work.

If you don’t have enough energy, you can only be passive and slow down your work.

Fortunately, the person in charge is Li Mengxi. Li Mengxi is easy-going and easy to talk to. Therefore, the carpenters have the courage to persuade Lu Li to give feedback to Li Mengxi.

"Yingzheng, the cart is ready." Lu Li said again.

Li Mengxi's eyes lit up, and the first vehicle in the army was built.

It just so happened that I had to deal with matters at the carpenter's camp, so I decided to go and have a look.

On the way, Li Mengxi was thinking about how to deal with the carpenter camp.

Since those who make carts are rewarded with grain, the carpenters who do other chores can also be motivated to work in the carpenter camp by using incentives.

However, the reward details cannot be the same.

First, the pallet truck is a large object, a large amount of work, and is rewarded on a piece-by-piece basis.

As for the messy chores of making a weatherproof board for a torch and replacing a broken gun barrel with a new one, the workload is not large and the work is complicated, so there is no way to pay for it on a piece-rate basis.

The solution that Li Mengxi came up with is that the carpentry camp is divided into two "wage" models, one is based on piece-rate wages, and the other is based on basic wages.

Those who make carts should make a cart and distribute a certain amount of grain.

Those who do odd jobs receive food every month and work on a regular basis, but the amount of work is uncertain.

Piece work is easy to manage, and you can get a basic salary. How to assign chores is still troublesome.

If you get a basic salary, it will be the same no matter how much you do or how little you do, so there is no incentive effect.

Since the minimum wage system cannot encourage incentives, we can think about it from another perspective and ignore the positive benefits of incentives and try to avoid the negative benefits of unfair distribution.

Li Mengxi thought about it and finally chose a perfect flow system.

For example, there are four people, A, B, C and D. When a job comes, no matter what the job is, no matter how serious it is, A will do it first. After A has finished, the job will come again, B will do it, and then it will be C and D's turn.

Because of the rotation, the severity of the work you encounter depends entirely on luck, which is very fair.

Therefore, although the absence of incentives cannot increase production enthusiasm, achieving fair distribution can avoid the negative factors that reduce production enthusiasm.

The last question left is how much "wage" should be given to these carpenters who do odd jobs in a month?

Also, today's first cart was also born in the carpenter's camp.

How much food should be given to the carpenters?

If wages are linked to labor intensity and working hours, then what is the appropriate amount of reward for a day’s working hours?

A pound of food a day?

also.

Carpenters who do odd jobs have to be rotated. How can we ensure that the jobs are rotated one by one? What if the person in charge of this job has selfish motives and leaves the heavy work to others and the light work to someone with whom he has a good relationship?

People, this will definitely accumulate conflicts.

There is a lack of supervision, there is no way to supervise, and there is actually a shortage of qualified low-level managers.

Li Mengxi thought for a long time while walking. After a while, he came up with a way to solve the last problem.

Since the carpenters who do the chores are rotated - the person responsible for dividing the work is also rotated every three to five days. This prevents people with bad conduct from causing conflicts within the group over a long period of time and causing greater conflicts.

Let’s call it the Shuanggui rotation method. This is what Li Mengxi thought of.

Thinking that this rotation method was very good, Li Mengxi thought by analogy, then...can he also rotate as the commander of the war camp?

On second thought, it might not be appropriate.

The management personnel of the carpenter battalion are rotated just to avoid some internal conflicts, while the low-level officers of the war barracks require people with certain abilities to serve.

If soldiers who are not capable enough are rotated to their best positions, it will destroy the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi suddenly remembered the officer rotation system.

In the previous life, it seems that in order to train the new recruits to have management skills, the new recruits in the army seemed to rotate as squad leaders every week.

This method may really have merit. But after Li Mengxi thought about it carefully, he believed that the current method of training low-level officers through rotation is simply not feasible.

Because there simply isn't enough time.

Rotating people as squad leaders can indeed train everyone, but at the same time, it slows down the development of everyone's management capabilities several times.

The commanders of the rebel army are generally lacking in management ability. They are in urgent need of training and training a group of qualified low-level officers. Slowing down the growth rate is really not worth the gain.

The method of training low-level officers by rotation is a good one and has something to learn from, but the prerequisite for using this method is that there must be a stable base and a stable external environment so that recruits can be trained in turns in a leisurely manner.

I have never seen any country's army fighting on the battlefield and thinking about training every soldier in turn. It is simply seeking death and stupidity.
