Two hundred and ninety-nine, Yelu Shulie's ambition
In fact, what they said, Li Xingzhou really didn't think about it carefully, because he has been in the south for more than two months, so he would never have thought that the royal palace would encounter such a problem.
I had to put down the teacup and think temporarily.
Everyone's eyes were bright and they looked at him without turning their eyes.
Li Xingzhou thought for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed: "I have it!"
He searched the history of making a fortune in his later generations of large companies, and finally found that this problem is not just the royal palace.
Many giant companies in later generations will face such problems in the later stages of development. The problem is not in the means of production, but in personnel management. The growth of momentum is exponential, and the same is true for the increase in management difficulty.
There is not much difference between managing 1 person and managing 10 people. The difficulty of managing 10 people and managing 100 people increases, while managing 100 people and 1,000 people and 10,000 people is a world of difference, and the difficulty begins to rise index.
When the collective scale grows, it will also lead to countless problems such as bloated institutions, reduced efficiency, and management difficulties. Faced with the increasing demand for production means and production, people have to be added, thus forming a vicious cycle.
In order to resolve this contradiction, the last way the giant companies in later generations found through exploration is outsourcing!
When they heard him say there was a way, everyone looked over.
"The simple method is to leave the production that is not secret to outsiders." Li Xingzhou said.
Everyone looked confused, and Degong frowned when he heard it.
"Tell me more bluntly." said the poem.
Li Xingzhou leaned over and explained in detail: "For example, when grenade production, the dry bamboo joints of the grenade lead part are just taken at both ends, boiled with water, and then dried. This is a simple matter, why do you have to do it yourself?
Just release the requirements and production methods of this thing, and order one or two ones, so that all the people in the capital can do it, and sell it to the royal palace, and you can reduce a large number of workers in one go."
"Similarly, the butt stock that fires the gun and the wooden handguards are not difficult to do. As long as you release the news and give the specifications, the royal family will pay for it. Who wouldn't want to do it in the carpenters in Beijing?"
After hearing this, the few people were stunned. Yan Bian, who was jealous of losing money, said: "Wouldn't he pay for it?"
Li Xingzhou shook his head and smiled, "Can you not pay for the money if you hire someone, and you don't have to manage someone?"
"Too"
"Hahahaha" everyone laughed.
Li Xingzhou continued: "In short, many simple things that do not leak secrets can be included for outsiders. And for convenience, it is best to include them for one person and then ask him to find someone. There must be such people, and there are a few capable people in every place who have good popularity.
Also, we need to spread the news. The more people you know, the better. If we know more and want to do more, we can lower the price.
Besides, even if outsiders know these techniques, it’s okay. We master core technology. They can make leads without gunpowder, and they can make butt stocks without Xiaogang or barrel, which is not in the way."
Everyone gradually understood as they heard this, and their eyes lit up immediately.
Shiyu interrupted: "You can find Sun Wenyan, the storyteller who posted the news. He knew most of the storytellers in Kaiyuan. If they asked them to help spread the news, the entire Kaiyuan would know within a few days."
Li Xingzhou nodded: "Okay, then you are responsible for the publicity. Yan Kun is in the restaurant and knows a lot of people. You go and find people who know a lot of people and can find people. Yan Bian will go and see how many workers can be laid off this time. Let's explain to them clearly. There are also places to work, but it's not in the palace."
Several people nodded, and then several people went to work hard.
Many super companies in later generations, such as Boeing, were produced from dozens of countries around the world and then assembled in one place.
Many people wonder, can't Boeing produce all of a plane by itself? Why does it have to trouble companies all over the world to produce it?
Because people are not machines, the efficiency will decrease when there are more people.
Boeing must have its own production capabilities. The problem is that if the details, regardless of whether there is technological content or not, they will produce the components that are not confidential, then they will need more employees, more equipment, factories, logistics support, etc.
The company will also suffer losses due to the complex and numerous personnel, resulting in an increase in management difficulty index, bloated institutions, reduced efficiency, and difficulty in overall planning.
Giving those low-tech components to other companies for production seems to be a concession, but in fact, it improves the company's operating efficiency, thereby increasing production capacity and earning more.
Now the royal palace is entering such a stage. If you only know how to hire workers if you don’t have enough staff, you will eventually lose money due to difficulty in managing and operating.
At this time, profit distribution and outsourcing and giving out simple, non-technical but labor-intensive work to outsiders can streamline the structure of the royal palace and improve efficiency.
Duke De was listening to them and frowned until they left: "Ah, I think there is a deep meaning in what you said, but I think carefully but understand why. But in this way, the people in the capital also have some things to do in their spare time to make money. You can also benefit the people and do a good deed."
"Hahaha" Li Xingzhou laughed. He was just for himself, and he didn't expect to become a great charity in the eyes of Degong. Not only that, over time, he would also become a great charity in the mouths of the people in the capital, but his starting point was just for the benefit of the royal palace.
He took a sip of tea and said, "In fact, it is just to find a balance point, and find a balance point between scale and efficiency.
The scale is large, the efficiency is reduced, the scale is small, and the efficiency is improved. How to achieve high efficiency while ensuring large scale as much as possible is what the royal palace is currently doing.”
Qiu'er thought about it for a while: "Solve a quadratic equation for a univariate?"
Li Xingzhou was surprised and praised: "Hahaha, Qiu'er is still smart. It's not wrong to say this from a mathematical perspective."
Degong was alone on the side and remembered: "When you say this, I am more reasonable. You are really a demon, you are so wise and close to monsters."
Li Xingzhou laughed in his heart. It’s not that he is smart, it’s an experience explored by countless later generations.
Under the endless fields, the sun has set its west, and the green grass is nearby, and the rivers with silver ribbons are embedded in the wilderness. The wind is whistling, rolling the grass like white waves in the green ocean.
The Land of Yanyun has always been a good place to train war horses. It is not only because of the plump water and grass, but also because of the spacious place, which is convenient for horse training. Another place to train war horses is the Huaihai Plain in the East.
There are two major horse-raising places, and there are countless war horses in the Liao Kingdom.
The wind blows down, and the six cavalrymen, and the flags of various colors are rushing. The horses are galloping on the grassland. They are in high spirits and murderous auras, and are marching south. The sand and gravel at their feet are also thrust up and down with the roar of horse hooves, running across the north and south. The huge cavalry team that is invisible at first sight is slowly moving.
Yelu Shulie looked down at his army from the top of the mountain, and felt aroused by the passion. He laughed and pulled his children over and pointed at the bottom and said, "Look, look at my army, look at my warriors! With them here, who in the world dares to disobey me!"
Yeluchun said happily: "Congratulations to Father!"
"Hahahahahaha, the soldiers and horses in the world are in hand, who has the power of me? Now the Mongols and Jurchens have surrendered to the Great Liao Dynasty, and only the people of Jing and Xixia are left. When I destroy Jing and pacify Xixia, the world will be my!" He was full of heroic spirit and his eyes were filled with evil light.
The eyes of Yelu Dun and Yelu Yali were shining in their eyes, and they looked at their majestic father in admiration.
Yelu Yali seemed to have thought of something and said, "Father, when you break through Kaiyuan City, remember to capture the King of Pingnan and send it to me."
"What do you want a man from Jingren to do?"
"He can make general wine and perfume." Yari said.
Yelu Shulie touched his daughter's hair kindly: "Don't worry, my father remembers it. When my iron hooves go south, I will catch that kid and give it to you."
Yari nodded happily.
Below, the army was still traveling south, and the huge cavalry unit connected to the sky of the north and south, like a slowly moving long dragon, and hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen, it is hard to imagine how they could lose this time. If they could rush through the north of Guanbei, then the plains of Jingguo would be the cavalry world.
How can Jingguo stop so many cavalry?
Yari couldn't think of it, and probably no one could have thought of it.
So there is only one difficulty, that is, crossing Guanbei, which has been like this for a hundred years.
The sky is densely cloudy, and heavy rain may be coming in late summer. This is a big problem. Heavy rain is very bad for the cavalry.
The father also frowned and looked at the sky in the distance: "This cloud is really bad, it may be delayed for a few days."
If the rain is too heavy, they can't move on.
At this time, two fast horses came up from the foot of the mountain, leading the way was the Golden Tent Imperial Guard holding the flag, and the other was the herdsman in sheepskin.
Yali knew that these herdsmen were the people under the command of the King of the South Court. They were all Han people at the junction of the Liao Kingdom in Jing and usually shepherd sheep, and then they would take advantage of the opportunity to sell sheep to inquire about the information of Jing Kingdom.
Because they are Han people, they will not arouse suspicion when speaking or doing things. However, the father looked down on these people very much. On the contrary, the king of the South Court cared very much and told his father several times that he should pay attention to these people.
"What's this time?" Khan asked.
Although the herdsman was riding a horse, he was still frightened when he saw Khan and then spoke in a low voice.
It turned out that the Liao Kingdom had known the news that they were heading south and transferred Jiangzhou Jiangxian Army and Yanmenxiang Army to Guanbei. It was also said that Jing Kingdom had established a new army and handed it over to the control of Emperor Jing's grandson, King Pingnan.
After hearing this, Khan laughed: "So what if we know? I don't know when we went south to Jingguo!
What new army is there? A sixteen-year-old child is self-supervising? Hahaha, he is so laughing. He might be lucky. He happened to encounter civil strife in the south, or something else. Jing Chao has never been a match for my Daliao for hundreds of years. So what if he changes his child?"
Then Khan was impatient to drive away the herdsman. Yelu Yali remembered the words of the King of the South Courtyard and asked the servants to give him a piece of silver leaf. The herdsman was grateful for his kindness and quickly got off the horse and kowtowed before leaving.
"You don't need to reward this cheap beast at all," said Khan.
Yelu Yali shook his head: "The King of the South Court said that hunting dogs that do not feed meat will not catch prey. When he catches prey, there will be more meat than feeding him."
