The next morning, as dawn broke, Jin Shuai slowly awoke. He quickly got up, washed, and then went to the dining room with Liu Shi. The steward was already waiting there. After the three entered and took their seats, they began to eat breakfast. As the meal neared its end, Jin Shuai asked with a smile, "Steward, we've already made several carriages, haven't we? How long does it take to build one of these carriages?"

After a moment's thought, the butler replied, "Including the initial test vehicle, we have successfully built a total of three. On average, we can complete one vehicle every three days. The main problem is that the carpenters are working slowly. They are mainly responsible for making some key components, so the overall speed has been affected to some extent."

Jin Shuai nodded and turned to Liu Shi beside him, saying, "Liu Ma, please wait here for the people sent from the palace. I will go with the steward to visit the craftsmen. We will come back to find you later, and then take Lady Dong to check on the shops." With that, Jin Shuai and the steward headed straight for the craftsmen's workshop. Upon arriving at the entrance, the blacksmith, who had intended to greet them, tactfully retreated when Jin Shuai waved him away. Then, Jin Shuai stepped into the carpenter's workshop, where the leader of the carpenters quickly approached and said, "Young master, we were just about to send someone to invite you!"

Jin Shuai smiled slightly and replied, "Hehe, it seems that the production of these carriages is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. Is this the reason why production cannot be increased?"

"My lord, please calm down! We will definitely speed up the process." The carpenter said, his forehead beaded with sweat and his expression showing great anxiety.

"Who told you I'm angry? You guys need to use your brains and figure out how to save time and make things easier for everyone. For example, you could divide the various parts of the carriage into several parts, then arrange for the carpenters in the city to make them separately and send them over, and then you would be responsible for assembling them. Wouldn't that save both time and effort?" Jin Shuai explained patiently with a faint smile on his face.

"But... sir, doing this will probably cost us a lot of money," the carpenter said, frowning with some concern.

"Oh dear, you're so foolish! Don't you know that time is money? Come on, let me ask you, if you work with all your might, how long would it take to build a complete carriage?" Jin Shuai looked at the carpenter and asked seriously.

"Hmm...it will probably take about two days to complete one carriage," the carpenter replied after a moment's thought.

"See? If we follow my method, having each shop focus on making only one component and then transporting them back for assembly, you can produce at least one or two carriages a day! Which is faster? Besides, having different shops make one component each makes it less likely for secrets to leak. Remember, make sure all these components meet standard specifications; this will also make things easier and more convenient for us. Think about it carefully, doesn't it make sense?" Jin Shuai said with a confident smile.
