MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1724 talent

  Chapter 1724 Talent

  Zhang Yanling broke down emotionally.

   Along the way, watching the people in various workshops eating and drinking, and thinking about living and sleeping in the open, eating porridge and steamed cakes all day long, he felt that the world had a deep malice towards his brothers.

  The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he grabbed Wu Xiong's skirt.

  Glaring at him viciously, gnashing his teeth like a sworn enemy.

   Wu Xiong was dumbfounded.

   "Are you here to repair the railway, or to eat and drink? Tell me!"

   "I...build roads..."

   "Building roads! Then why do you eat apples?"

   "I... the villain was wrong." Wu Xiong replied helplessly.

   "Wrong? For such a big matter, you just say that you are wrong and you want to forget it? I will kill you, and then you are wrong, can you?"

  Wu Xiong was trembling, his lips trembling: "This... this..."

   "You...you must be guilty, you bastard! If you only know how to eat and eat, can you put your mind on building the railway?"

  Wu Xiong: "..."

  He couldn't explain it anymore.

Zhang Yanling glared at him bitterly, picked up the apple on the desk, and took two bites of it. It was so sweet that he didn't want to swallow it. He just chewed it carefully, just like an old lady eating it. like millet porridge

   Then wiped it, and stretched out the apple to Zhang Heling.

  Zhang Heling frowned, his eyes were still staring at the drawing, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Go away!"

   "Oh." Zhang Yanling hurriedly took the apple back, chewing and staring at Zhang Heling meticulously.

  Zhang Heling suddenly slumped the engineering drawings on the copy: "Go find the pen and ink."

   "Brother, the pen and ink are on the copy."

  Zhang Heling picked up a pen, and immediately began to write a calculation formula, but seemed to feel something was wrong, shook his head, and muttered: "Bring that book."

   "Which one?"

   "Introduction to Algebra, Xishan Academy edition."

  Zhang Yanling hurriedly went back and looked through the bag, and took out an old book that was yellowed.

  The book had been torn apart a long time ago, Zhang Heling quickly found a certain page, frowned again, picked up a pen to write and calculate, and suddenly said: "Bring me the topographic survey map of Xi'an."

  Zhang Yanling searched again.

  After seeing it, Zhang Heling said, "No, no, the cost... I will also find the cost."

  Zhang Heling unceremoniously took Wu Xiong's place.

  He sometimes frowned, sometimes lowered his head to think, and occasionally wrote and drew. It took more than an hour, and he suddenly said: "Understood, I understand, the problem lies here. There is clearly a problem with the budget of the Luoyang section."

  Wu Xiong was taken aback: "The problem... what... what problem."

   "How many workshops have you built for the Luoyang section?"

   "One iron workshop and one wood workshop."

   "That's right." Zhang Heling came back to his senses, saw that Zhang Yanling was still holding an apple in his hand, raised his hand and slapped Zhang Heling: "Where did it come from?"

   "Brother." Zhang Yanling said aggrievedly: "I just wanted to give it to you, but you didn't eat it yourself."

Zhang Heling took it. He felt that he was hungry, and he ate two mouthfuls like a wolf. Then he said: "The problem lies in this workshop. Didn't you calculate it when you built the workshop? The output of this workshop is limited. On the surface, it seems It saves money, but in fact, it increases the construction time. The more the construction time increases, the greater the waste. The existing workshop cannot meet the progress at all. One is at a loss, but in fact, the construction period has been accelerated, have you calculated the labor cost in Luoyang?"

  Wu Xiong: "..."

Zhang Heling gritted his teeth and said: "The labor force in Luoyang is less than 30% of Beijing's. Do you understand what I mean? The cost is so low, so we don't need to recruit more. Speed ​​up the construction period. Tiefang will expand production immediately, and the manpower will be recruited from the Xi'an section. This Xi'an Duan, the waste of manpower is the most serious, I will set off to clean them up in a few days."

  Wu Xiong said: "I understand, I understand..."

  Zhang Heling immediately said: "Bring the wood."

   "Oh." Zhang Yanling immediately took a small piece of wood from his luggage.

Zhang Heling threw the wood on the ground angrily: "This is a sample that I found in the sleeper workshop of my dark square early in the morning. Look at it... the dog, the wood has not been dehydrated yet, so I was in a hurry to process it and produce it. When the heavy rains cause disasters, they will be soaked. What a waste it will cause. Is there any one of you who is willing to care? Tell them to follow the rules, and don’t go wrong when the time comes. Rework. And the cost of this project... Don't use this to fool our brothers, the cost of the project is floating, the current budget is only the maximum, and now there is a terrible phenomenon in many places, that is, the budget is not available After spending, I hurriedly found a bright eye to spend together. There is also a group of dogs, ignoring the budget, and asking for money from Jianye after spending. Is Xishan Jianye producing silver? Their money is not ...not yet..."

   Speaking of this, Zhang Heling was heartbroken, and grabbed his heart: "It's not the people's fat, the people's ointment, do you know, the common people... are reluctant to drink porridge."

  Wu Xiong said in surprise: "You two uncles, people's lives are better now than before, and porridge is still willing to drink...it's not as good as before..."

"You still dare to talk back!" Zhang Heling was furious: "Don't think that Lord Ben doesn't know how tricky you guys are on the construction site. This is just what Master Ben saw, and how many others did Lord Ben not see?" What about it? Today’s assignment must be done immediately, and the construction period must be accelerated. If the work is not completed in one day, how much will it cost with so much manpower?”

  Wu Xiong thought about it, but it was too late to calculate. After all, cost is not something he is good at.

   "Master Ben Hou has read the construction drawings, and there is probably nothing wrong with them." Zhang Heling chewed the apple nuts together, crushed them, and swallowed them into his stomach.

  Zhang Yanling stretched his neck at the side, watching his brother's final swallowing action, he couldn't help showing disappointment on his face, he thought his brother would leave some fruit stones for him.

"In the past two days, I will walk around. To put it bluntly, both the cost and the engineering design are false. What matters is the management. If the management keeps up, and everyone performs their duties, it is the greatest diligence. If there is no Keeping up and hindering each other is waste."

   "Yes, yes, yes." Wu Xiong replied, wiping his sweat.

   Immediately afterwards, Zhang Heling sat down again, and asked Wu Xiong to find the exploration map of the construction section, and looked at it carefully.

  When it was noon, Wu Xiong ordered the kitchen to cook. The staff in the kitchen knew that a big man had arrived, and hurriedly asked, "Do you need to buy some chickens, ducks, and drinks..."

  Wu Xiong broke into a sweat in shock, shook his head and said, "No need, eat porridge at noon, oh, add another three taels... no, one tael of pickled vegetables."

  The people in the kitchen were shocked: "This... this..."

  He thought he had heard wrong.

  Wu Xiong couldn't explain easily, so he said with a sure face: "You heard me right, that's it, don't talk about it, I'll pour a cup of white water for Master Hou, go!"

"Oh."

  …

  At noon, I drank porridge with pickles.

  Zhang Heling started to get busy.

  He came to this place with a clear purpose, and there were still many places that he didn't understand, so the two brothers went to the construction site for a few laps, and they couldn't help but feel heartbroken again.

  Turning my head... I went back to the work shed, and before I had time to rest for a while, I took out the book directly from the luggage.

   What they carry most now are books. There is nothing they don’t read. From engineering, to accounting, to machinery manufacturing, it can be said that they have broken their hearts for this railway.

  At the beginning, the book was difficult to read, but fortunately, there are many professionals around, and they asked, and no one dared not answer.

  And when others read books, they read with a learning attitude.

   But the two brothers are different, especially Zhang Heling, who looked at it with a skeptical attitude.

  It seems that in his eyes, behind the books, there will always be a group of dogs who want to fool money.

  Therefore...he never believed everything in the book.

  Zhang Heling can also draw, and even understand the structure of steam locomotives.

  From the boiler to the transmission, to the iron wheel, there is nothing he does not know.

  He sometimes closes his eyes to ponder... Suddenly he took out a notebook he was carrying.

  The book is densely packed with drawings, which were drawn by him himself.

   Inside are the structures of countless steam locomotives.

  Even... through the painter Franz, who has begun to use a lot of perspective.

At this time, he began to think about it again, pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "The principle of this steam is very simple. It is actually boiling water. The process of boiling water consumes coal and produces power. Therefore, this In the process, one is cost, which means waste and waste, and the other is effect, which means the result of output, which is utility. The word cost and effect is easy to say, but difficult to do. What is the difficulty? , is to use the least amount of coal to boil the water. Second, how can the boiled water and the steam generated be as large as possible, so as not to be wasted. Do you understand what it means to be a brother?"

   "Brother, you have said it more than thirty times." Zhang Yanling said weakly.

  Zhang Heling glared at him: "Did you draw the boiler that you were asked to improve last time?"

  Under Zhang Heling's unfriendly gaze, Zhang Yanling hurriedly found the drawings he drew and sent them to Zhang Heling.

  Zhang Heling read it carefully, and wrote: "No, yours is too complicated. There is nothing wrong with being complicated. The more complicated it is, the more unnecessary losses can be reduced, but...the cost of manufacturing...wrong..."

  Zhang Heling's voice stopped, squinted, and looked at the drawings carefully.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pressed his fingertips on every thin line drawn with charcoal, searching step by step, and then... his eyes stared at every data, and suddenly said: "It's interesting, it's interesting, But... there are still some shortcomings, yes, alas, our Zhang family has talents."

  …

  On the first day of the first month, the number of monthly tickets is a bit pitiful. It’s sad. For the sake of tiger’s insomnia because of thinking about the plot recently, please give some support!
