Chapter 444: Flowing Water
Meigen glanced at Lando and snorted, "If it weren't for the fact that this matter is really important to our Karlqi Family, I wouldn't tell you, Grandpa. Right now, our family has quite a few factories, but I dare say that none of our family’s factories have a production rate that matches Brother Hai’s factory. For the same type of factory, Brother Hai only needs a hundred people, but even if our factory has three hundred people, the output is still less than Brother Hai’s."
Upon hearing this, Lando was momentarily stunned, but then he quickly understood Meigen's meaning. His expression turned serious as he said, "Meigen, do you mean to say that Little Hai has a method to increase production? And you know this method?"
Seeing Lando's expression, Meigen proudly replied, "Exactly! I’ve already learned the method Brother Hai uses to increase production, haha. To say Brother Hai is clever, we never thought of this method."
Lando looked at Meigen and asked, "What method? Meigen, hurry and tell me, do you want to worry Grandpa to death?"
Meigen then smiled and said, "Brother Hai said it's called assembly line production. Take our pottery factory for instance. Right now, a pottery worker needs several days to make a piece of pottery from clay extraction to forming the clay. But Grandpa, have you ever thought about separating the processes? Have dedicated workers for digging clay, mixing clay, forming, and painting. Let the process of making pottery flow like water through the hands of these workers. This way, their speed will greatly increase."
Lando and Smith were both smart people, and as soon as they heard Meigen’s explanation, they immediately understood. Although they hadn't tested it yet, they found it very reasonable just by imagining it.
Lando stood up excitedly and exclaimed, "Good, good, this method is fantastic! Yes, Meigen is right. If we really do this, our pottery production will certainly increase significantly. Hahaha, Little Meigen, you really didn’t lie. This is crucial to our Karlqi Family’s future."
Suddenly, Lando stopped and turned to Meigen, saying, "Meigen, did Little Hai agree to you telling us this? Don’t let this affect your relationship with Little Hai. You have to know, this method of production, if Little Hai didn’t mention it, ordinary people wouldn’t think of it at all. Such a method generally wouldn’t be shared."
Meigen smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Brother Hai agreed. It's fine."
Lando nodded in satisfaction and asked with a smile, "What factories does Little Hai still have? What kind of people are there in his factories?"
Meigen replied with a smile, "They are mostly slaves. He even bought some slaves from the orcs. Now there are over a thousand slaves working at his factory."
Lando nodded. He didn’t ask where the budah family’s base was located. In his mind, it couldn’t possibly be in the Black Earth Wilderness, which had already become a forbidden area on the continent. Zhao Hai's base was definitely in a very secret place, and he wouldn’t disclose the specific location.
Seeing that Lando didn't inquire about the budah family's base, Meigen sighed in relief, but she still said to Lando, "Grandpa, Brother Hai said that their budah family’s base is a secret, and it’s not the right time to talk about it, so I can't tell you now. Please don’t be angry."
Lando looked at Meigen and chuckled, "What? He doesn’t let you tell Grandpa, so you won’t?"
Meigen replied seriously, "Grandpa, Brother Hai trusts me so much. How could I do anything to betray his trust? So, I really can’t tell you about this. I’m sorry, Grandpa."
Lando laughed heartily and ruffled Meigen's hair, saying, "Silly girl, how could Grandpa be angry? You did the right thing. Little Hai hasn’t done anything wrong to our Karlqi Family. You are now engaged to Little Hai, and he trusts you so much. This is a blessing for you. You are already considered part of the budah family, so you naturally should care for them. Grandpa is not angry."
