On the tenth day of the second lunar month in the sixth year of Zhenguan, we were in Qinjiazhuang, Lantian County.
After Qin Ming had breakfast, he first took a carriage and inspected the cement workshop and vehicle manufacturing workshop on Zhuangzi, and then came to the temporary command post on the cement road outside Qinjiazhuang.
The command post was built by the Qin Mansion, the first model courtyard house with red bricks and green tiles.
This is the third day of cement road construction. Qin Ming has already deeply realized that building a cement road in Datang is not an easy task.
In addition to raw materials, tools and manpower, what is even more cumbersome is the daily scheduling of personnel and material arrangements.
For example, how many people and how many transport vehicles are needed to transport cement and various materials to Chang'an every day.
Where should these materials, as well as iron tools, tools, food and other items used for road construction, be stored? How many people are needed to guard it?
Another example is building a cement road. How many manpower are needed to repair the road surface?
In addition, daily calculations must be made to maintain the operation of the mansion's workshop. How many raw materials does the Qin mansion need to purchase every day? Is it necessary to expand the workshop? When is it reasonable to expand?
All these require Qin Ming to make decisions one by one.
Fortunately, there were not many other things in Qin Ming's mansion, but there were many "counting gentlemen", which saved him a lot of time.
In addition to Xiao Changxi, Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun, the current "Mr. Accountants" of the Qin Mansion also include Xiao Qing, the accountant of Ximeng Tower, Xiao Tao and Xiao Xi, who manage the internal funds in the palace, and several maids of the Qin Mansion who came from the same batch.
They are Mei Xin who is responsible for serving tea and cakes, Lan Yi who is responsible for the accounts of the wine shop, Zhu You who is responsible for the tea frying workshop and Ju Jie who is responsible for the coal workshop.
Because of Xiao Changxi and her daughter.
One should coordinate and manage all the income and expenditure of the house.
The other is responsible for the teaching of the college and the growth records of rice and yam.
And Xiao Qingwan's task is even heavier. In addition to being responsible for the three meals in the house during the day, and sorting out the accounts of all the workshops in Zhuangzi.
In the evening, I have to take care of Qin Ming's daily life and keep Qin Ming healthy both physically and mentally.
The task is not easy!
Because the Qin Mansion not only has a big family and a big business, but also needs to cultivate officialdom and open a new workshop, so these three people are very busy now!
So Qin Ming had no choice but to bring the maids Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and others to the temporary command post and let them be responsible for the statistics of the staff and various materials of the cement road projects.
It can be regarded as Qin Ming's second think tank now.
In addition, in order to facilitate the formation of effective contact with the various officials of the Road and Bridge Department, Qin Ming also specially transferred Zi Shu's team from the escort team and asked them to be responsible for the collection of information and the command post on the entire project. Delivery of commands.
While Qin Ming and the think tank team were discussing today's work arrangements, a member of the escort team hurriedly walked into the main hall of the courtyard.
The guard bowed to Qin Ming and said respectfully:
"Jin Yi pays homage to the young master."
Qin Ming put down the booklet in his hand, waved his hand towards Jin Yi, and said with a smile:
"Dean Li sent you back? What's wrong with him?"
Jin Yi stood up and gave a thumbs up and said:
"Sir, what a wonderful plan!"
Qin Ming pointed at Jin Yixiao and cursed:
"If you don't know how to flatter me, don't flatter me. Tell me why Manager Li asked you to come back?"
Jin Yi chuckled, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Qin Ming with both hands.
"Sir, this is Dean Li's letter to you."
Qin Ming took the letter, unfolded it, and read it quickly.
Li Chun confessed in the letter that the progress of paving the road in Chang'an City yesterday afternoon far exceeded expectations.
In just half a day, a three-mile road was leveled. If this progress continues, it may take less than a month for Changlan Road to be completed.
Qin Ming was in a good mood when he saw this. He hoped more than anyone else that this road would be built as soon as possible. After all, only when the road was built could his next plan be carried out.
In the letter, Li Chun, in addition to informing Qin Ming of the good news, also proposed the idea of letting Qin Ming send two more transport vehicles and two road rollers to Chang'an.
Because he discovered this morning that the smoothing of the road was proceeding too smoothly and the number of road rollers was too small. As a result, the speed of compacting the road could not keep up with the speed of smoothing the road.
besides,
Nowadays, cement and cement paving require a large amount of clean water. If we only rely on manpower to lift buckets of water to the construction site, it will be too time-consuming.
So he wanted to use a transport truck to transport clean water. In this way, the speed of laying cement roads can be faster.
Qin Ming put down the letter, thought for a moment and asked Mei Xin, who was in charge of counting the usage frequency of construction vehicles:
"Mei Xin, if Zhuangzi sends two transport trucks and road rollers to Chang'an, will it have a big impact on the progress of our project?"
Mei Xin, who was wearing a green undershirt, stood up, saluted Qin Ming and said:
"Reporting to the Master, apart from the transport vehicle that was sent to the palace yesterday, there are still twelve transport vehicles and ten road rollers in the house."
"Eight transport trucks are responsible for transporting cement to Chang'an, and four trucks are responsible for transporting cement from Zhuangzi."
"In addition, the No. 1 Vehicle Manufacturing Workshop estimates that one transport vehicle and one road roller will be completed at noon and Shen time today, so the redeployment of two transport vehicles will have little impact on the progress of the project."
"As for the road rollers, there are currently five in Zhuangzi and Chang'an City. If the deployment of road rollers will affect the progress, I have to ask Lan Yi and Zhuyou. They know the specific arrangements of the construction teams in Zhuangzi."
After saying that, Mei Xin glanced at Lan Yi and the other two people not far away.
Lan Yi had already discussed with Zhuyou again when Qin Ming asked the question. At this time, she saw Qin Ming's eyes looking towards her.
She and Zhuyou quickly stood up and bowed to Qin Ming, saying respectfully:
"Reporting to the Master, I have just calculated it with Zhu You. The deployment of two road rollers will have little impact on the progress on Zhuangzi."
Qin Ming nodded slightly when he heard this and motioned for the three of them to sit down.
Then he took out a piece of paper from the table, wrote down the order for dispatching the engineering vehicle, and then took out his seal from his pocket and stamped it.
Then he stood up and handed the written letter to Jin Yi.
"Jin Yi, take this order and go to the officer in charge of engineering vehicles in Zhuangzi. He will allocate two transport vehicles and two road rollers to you according to the instructions from above."
"promise."
After saying this, Jin Yi bowed to Qin Ming and exited the hall.
Qin Ming sat down and thought for a while and said to the women in the room:
"Just now, Dean Li proposed in the letter that transporting clean water in transport trucks will save manpower. I think this is feasible. You can rearrange the team that transports clean water, and the excess personnel can be arranged elsewhere."
The four women heard the words and bowed to agree, and then they started discussing in low voices.
