At two o'clock in the morning, the office in the front yard of the Qin Mansion was crowded with people.
Li Chun, who is in charge of building the Changlan cement road, and the four maids of the command post, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju.
As well as Niu Heng, who was in charge of selling four-wheeled carriages, and Zhang Zhaoyang, the director of the No. 1 Vehicle Manufacturing Factory, they were all called over by Qin Ming.
These people have been here for a while, but they saw Qin Ming writing and drawing on the desk with a sullen face!
They didn't bother me either.
A few moments
Qin Ming put down the charcoal in his hand, looked up at everyone, and said straight to the point:
"Uncle Niu, how many four-wheel transport vehicles are there that have been built and are ready to be delivered in the middle of this month?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Niu cupped his hands towards Qin Ming and replied without thinking:
"When I get back to you, Master, there are a total of one hundred and fifty transport trucks waiting for delivery in the warehouse."
Qin Ming nodded, then looked at the maid Mei Xin and asked:
"Mei Xin, how many transport vehicles are there in total on the construction site of Changlan Cement Road?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Xin hurriedly sent a blessing to Qin Ming.
"There are eighty in total."
Qin Ming nodded slightly and then asked Zhang Zhaoyang:
"Manager Zhang, if the current craftsmen of the depot work hard to build four-wheel transport vehicles, how many can be built in one day?"
Zhang Zhaoyang thought for a while, cupped his hands and said:
"With the current manpower and space, we can build up to thirty vehicles a day."
Qin Ming thought for a while and said to Li Chun:
"Dean Li, now that the main body of Changlan Cement Road has been repaired, the rest of the greening work can be left to King Wei and Ma Zhou."
Li Chun nodded after hearing this, hesitated, and asked:
"The master has other plans for a certain family?"
Qin Ming nodded slightly.
"In the next few days, you will mobilize the students from the engineering college and the craftsmen at home to fully cooperate with Director Zhang to build the four-wheeled carriage."
"We must build a thousand four-wheel transport vehicles within seven days."
"I'll go to the palace later to see if I can transfer some people from the Ministry of Works."
Li Chun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he cupped his hands towards Qin Ming and asked:
"Sir, why do you want to build so many four-wheel transport vehicles in such a short period of time?"
"It should be noted that the craftsmanship of the four-wheel transport vehicle is not complicated. As long as it is circulated in the market, it can be easily copied."
Qin Ming knew that Li Chun asked this question because he was afraid that the interests of the family would be damaged, and he also planned to hide it from everyone, so he said calmly:
"I want to use these transport vehicles to transport Datang's army to the Lanzhou battlefield!"
"ah?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately screamed. They thought there was something wrong with their ears.
After all, they had never heard of any dynasty whose army was pulled to the battlefield by horse-drawn carriages.
But then I thought about it, if this could really happen, wouldn't it save a lot of time for the imperial army to go out to fight in the future?
Not only that, wouldn't it be even more terrifying if all the roads leading to the border were replaced by cement roads and four-wheeled carriages were used to transport the army.
[And food and grass, my God! The young master has played a big game of chess! ]
While several people were thinking and thinking wildly.
Qin Ming stood up and said solemnly:
"You heard that right! I just want to use a carriage to send the imperial army to the battlefield!"
"Our four-wheeled carriage can bear a load of sixty stones. It will not be a problem to pull forty or fifty people in one carriage!"
"In addition to sending people away, we also need to use carriages to transport food and grass to the imperial army!"
When Niu Bo was young, he had been on the battlefield. He knew better than anyone present how painful and difficult marching was for soldiers.
He was also more aware of the significance of using carriages to transport soldiers on the battlefield.
After all, as the old saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick!
Niu Heng took a step forward and said excitedly:
"Sir, did you get the order from the imperial court? Are these carriages orders from the Ministry of War?"
Li Chun on the side also asked:
"Sir, is there another war on the border?"
Qin Ming shook his head and sighed.
"The news came back from Lanzhou that Dangxiang people have rebelled. Now the troops of the imperial court are besieged in Lanzhou by Dangxiang and Tuguhun."
"The situation is precarious. As a member of the Tang Dynasty, I cannot sit back and watch my compatriots be slaughtered by the enemy, so I want to do my part!"
Having said this, Qin Ming looked at everyone in the room with bright eyes and said:
"I believe that you feel the same as me. You don't want your compatriots to suffer the ravages of war."
"Although we cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, we can participate in this war in our own way."
"As long as there are enough carriages, Datang's reinforcements can rush to the battlefield early and kill all those damn barbarians! Save those compatriots who are suffering!"
Everyone in the room felt their blood surge when they heard Qin Ming's words!
I wish I could rush out right now and build the carriage overnight.
Wan'er and the four maids, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, have brilliant eyes!
The eyes he looked at Qin Ming were full of admiration and admiration!
Niu Heng, who was originally a little rickety, slowly straightened up after hearing Qin Ming's words, gave a military salute to Qin Ming, and said:
"Young Master, you are so righteous!"
After hearing this, the rest of the people cheered loudly and saluted Qin Ming.
"Young Master, you are so righteous!"
Qin Ming didn't expect that his words would make the people under him so excited.
But this is fine, the country's justice comes first, and I think these people will definitely be able to explode at 200% of their abilities.
When everyone was extremely excited, Zhang Liulang suddenly took a step forward and said anxiously:
"Sir, the current size of the factory cannot accommodate too many craftsmen. What should we do?"
Qin Ming thought about it and said:
"There is not enough space. You can arrange the people who produce various parts and components in other workshops."
“The current factory is only responsible for final assembly.”
Zhang Liulang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, cupped his hands towards Qin Ming and said:
"Thank you for your advice, sir. I know what to do."
Qin Ming thought for a moment and said:
"If there are not enough craftsmen, we can divide it into two shifts during the day and night! I will arrange for someone to go to Dongshi to purchase a batch of candles."
"And you can release the news tomorrow. During this period, wages will be doubled! In short, the production of transport vehicles must be increased at all costs."
"Tomorrow I will bring Butler Xiao back to the house. If you need anything, you can come to the house and Butler Xiao will apply."
Li Chun and others looked at each other after hearing this. They also realized the urgency of the matter through Qin Ming's arrangement, so they all bowed to respond.
After Li Chun and others left, four maids, Mei Xin, Lan Yi, Zhu You, and Ju Jie, were left in the office.
The four girls pushed each other for a while, and finally Mei Xin, the oldest, timidly walked up to Qin Ming and gave her a blessing.
"Sir, since the greening of the cement road must be handed over to King Wei and Deputy Director Ma, then these servants..."
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"You go to the temporary command post tomorrow and pay off the wages of the short-term workers here at Zhuangzi, and then go to Qingwan. She will arrange things for you."
The four girls were very happy when they heard this. They thought they couldn't participate in such a big matter in the house!
They bowed together and gave Qin Ming a blessing.
"Yes, sir."
