Chapter 347: Watching the Butcher Undress the Ox(2/2)
Therefore, although it is just a cart, this cart can be used to organize the butcher team first when all conditions are not sufficient. When there are enough carts and slaughtering tables, it needs to be established immediately.
When there is a complete team of butchers, a mature team can be built directly, and there will be no conflicts over who pulls the cart and who does not, because the contradictions have already broken out when there was only one cart before.
, was resolved, and relevant rules and regulations were added, and the conflict was resolved once and for all.
This idea is actually the same as the establishment of aircraft carrier fleets in later generations. There are not many aircraft carriers, and even the only aircraft carriers bought from abroad have only a shell and not even a boiler.
What should we do now? Wait until the aircraft carrier is produced, and then start training the personnel to support the aircraft carrier?
That would waste too much time.
Before the new aircraft carrier is produced, relevant personnel can be trained first.
Even if you draw a fake aircraft carrier deck on flat ground, you can still train.
Based on the experience of later generations, up to now, the Butcher Camp is not in a position to allocate enough trucks.
But as long as there is a cart, with this cart, the Butcher Camp can gradually tighten its structure and standardize its regulations.
Before the horoscopes were drawn and the cow bones were shaved, the butchers had already been clearly arranged by Li Mengxi.
According to previous precedents, the army has previously transferred various types of talents and incorporated them into the rear baggage corps as a backup.
Some of the selected people who knew how to ride could not become cavalry because there were not enough horses, and because riding was difficult to learn, it would be too wasteful for the cavalry soldiers to be used as infantry and put into battle on the battlefield.

Therefore, including cavalry soldiers, soldiers who have served as crossbowmen with relatively good Orion archery skills, and soldiers who are good at mountain walking and have formed mountain troops, after being selected, they are all formed into separate teams and placed in the central army as second-line troops.
Help manage the large number of civilians in the civilian camp.
The method of arranging various types of talents negotiated at that time was perfect. First, it facilitated the management and maintenance of these relatively rare personnel. Second, when assisting in the daily management of civilians, simple tasks such as patrolling camps and sentries every day also provided training.
As for the arrangement of the butcher team, according to the mature method mentioned above, it should be organized into a single team and incorporated into the baggage team.
After the butcher camp is established, it will probably be the poorest camp. The carpenter camp can earn a pound of food. Only the butcher camp, if there are no cattle or mules to die, may not be able to work even once in half a year.
The reward method is not very easy to use in this situation, but it can still be used.
When killing pigs in the countryside, people are asked to help. After the villagers help kill the pigs, the owner asks the helpers to pick up some intestines, pork belly, etc. and take them home as a reward. Because the pork is valuable, they keep it.
There is money to be sold, but pork belly and intestines are not easy to sell, so the etiquette comes and goes. It is appropriate for the person who helps kill the pig to get some of the water, but it is not so good to get the meat.
When it comes to slaughtering animals, the work is too detailed and complicated. You can't be like a carpenter who makes carts, and you can't be rewarded with a certain amount of grain for every cart you make. Nor can you be like a carpenter who does odd jobs and do the slaughtering work in turns.
There are jobs such as peeling skin, chopping bones, shaving meat, etc. It is difficult to break down the work.
Therefore, the method of quantifying rewards, such as giving a pound of food to anyone who shaves off meat, is not easy to use.
Since the precise reward method is not easy to use, it is better to use a rough approach.
Just like how pigs were killed in the countryside in previous lives, after slaughtering an animal, let the butchers take some scraps as a reward.
Now is unusual. During famine years, food is extremely expensive, not to mention meat. Although it is just a little offal, offal is also meat. It is stipulated that after slaughtering an animal, you are allowed to take a little offal. In order to get more meat, the butchers probably
I would like to finish it quickly and then kill the next one.
In this way, the reward effect will still be there, which can improve the work efficiency of the butchers.
Like all previous production work, whether it is weaving straw shoes, weaving tree baskets, or later making carrying tools for the Guan Yu tribe, in order to promote production enthusiasm, each work has its own different reward strategies.
The incentive method must not only achieve sufficient incentive effects, but also control costs. Although things are small, they are difficult to control.
At that time, after careful consideration and combined with the current conditions of the rebels, Li Mengxi believed that the reward would be enough to provide a full meal every three or two days of work, and the reward would be enough.
That is, based on the working hours and labor intensity required for a job, the reward amount is one catty of grain for an average of two days' working hours.
This standard is the core business secret of the rebels. Li Mengxi has never mentioned it to anyone else except Liu Bei behind the scenes.
Even once, the stupid Lu Li asked why it cost fifty kilograms of grain to make a cart, but Li Mengxi did not tell Lu Li the truth.
Because, once this "wage" standard is revealed, it is certain that some people will be smarter. If there is any new job next time, such as leather making, Li Mengxi, who does not understand any technical details, will ask the leather craftsman,
How long does it take to knead a piece of cowhide?
The savvy leatherworker then increased the workload. Then, assuming that it would take four days to complete one piece of leather, the official would have to pay two kilograms of food.
And because the "wage" standards were known to the craftsmen, the leatherworkers deliberately said the workload was twice as high. The leather that could be cooked in four days was said to take eight days.
Therefore, if the official had to pay for grain, they had to pay four kilograms.
It’s just a few kilograms of grain, so it doesn’t hurt to give the craftsmen more grain.
However, because someone falsely reported the workload, Li Mengxi and even all the senior officials misestimated the production speed of leather, which in turn resulted in a misestimation of the speed of arms production, which had a relatively large impact on decision-making.
Shang Yang's Five Skills of Controlling the People said that the more stupid the people are, the more advantageous it is to rule. Although it is dark to say this, I have to say that the method is really useful.
Take the current reward system in the military as an example. If the civilians know how Li Mengxi calculated the reward amount, then the civilians will begin to deliberately slow down the process, which will greatly damage production efficiency.
The common people are hardworking and active in their work, but it is better to be a little stupid and not so smart.
That is to say, if you want to integrate the butchers into the production sequence in the future, that is, if you want to use the incentive method, you must first understand how many man-hours are required to slaughter a cow or a mule.
It just so happened that I saw butchers slaughtering cattle for the first time today, so I was able to roughly calculate the time.
When the sun reaches the middle of the sky, at noon, an ox on a tripod has been shaved down to its skeleton. A little further away, on another tripod, the mule that was soaked to death together with the ox is also seen.
All that was left was the skeleton.
Well, from about seven or eight in the morning to about twelve noon, it takes about four or five hours to turn a cow from a complete state into a skeleton.
Among them, deboning and removing large pieces of meat from the cow does not take much time, but removing the meat from the bones takes the most time.
Li Mengxi observed very clearly from the sidelines that when slaughtering a cow, four or five people are enough. No matter how many people there are, it is useless. The cow is only so big. If it is full, it will only be surrounded by four or five people.
On the other hand, after the whole cow is broken down into scattered bones, the process of removing the meat from the bones requires more hands, and the faster the meat is removed.
Also, carry the cow in front and put it on the tripod. The total number of people at both ends is six or seven, which is enough.
In other words, unlike the carpenters camp, which makes carts, a group of ten people has just enough manpower.
