At a moment of Xu,
A black four-wheel carriage slowly stopped at Qinjiazhuang No. 1 Vehicle Factory.
Qin Da glanced at the bright light coming from the door and nodded secretly.
Then he turned around, knocked on the car door, and shouted:
"Sir, we are here."
In the carriage, after Qin Ming heard the noise, he put the rice paper on the table into his sleeves, then stood up and left the carriage.
Outside the carriage, Qin Da and others had opened the factory door.
Qin Ming blinked and adjusted to the darkness of the night before jumping out of the carriage.
Qin Da and others hurriedly came forward, bowed and said:
"Son."
Qin Ming nodded and walked towards the factory.
"Go in first."
"Here."
At this time, there were many transport trucks densely packed in the front yard of the factory.
Qin Ming took a cursory glance and saw that there were no less than a hundred vehicles.
Moreover, the further in Qin Ming and others went, the more carriages they made, almost filling the entire workshop.
Qin Ming frowned, waved to Qin Da and said:
"Ada, go and gather some brothers from the escort team and pull all these carriages to the open space outside the workshop."
"In addition, arrange a few more people to keep watch at night to prevent fire and theft."
Qin Da bowed when he heard this.
"Yes, sir. I will make arrangements right away."
Qin Ming nodded and watched Qin Da leave the workshop.
At this moment, dense footsteps came from behind Qin Ming.
Xiao Changxi was originally in the workshop, watching the craftsmen assembling the four-wheeled carriage.
It happened that someone outside announced that Qin Ming was back, so Xiao Changxi hurriedly held up her skirt and came out to welcome him.
Xiao Changxi looked at Qin Ming's back with joy.
"Lang...gongzi."
When Qin Ming heard this, he turned around and saw Xiao Changxi wearing a plain dress and a gauze mask.
Qin Ming grinned and said happily:
"Xi'er, why are you here?"
Xiao Changxi walked up to Qin Ming, suppressed her inner joy, and gave Qin Ming a blessing.
"I, come here and watch the craftsmen assembling the carriage."
After saying this, Xiao Changxi walked up behind Qin Ming.
Zhang Liulang and Li Chun, who followed Xiao Changxi, bowed to Qin Ming with excitement and said:
"Zhang Liulang has met the young master."
"Li Chun has met the mountain chief."
Qin Ming returned the greeting and said:
"Dean Li, Liulang, thank you for your hard work."
Li Chun and Zhang Liulang heard this and bowed:
"Young Master is very righteous. We are honored to do so. It is not bitter at all."
The two of them had already heard from housekeeper Xiao Changxi this morning about Qin Ming's visit to the palace yesterday.
In addition, the Ministry of Industry sent hundreds of skilled craftsmen to the house today to help.
So they knew very well that Qin Ming had to work harder than them.
What's more, they also heard that the carriages built at Zhuangzi this time were not intended to be sold to the court at a high price.
Instead, it was leased to the imperial court at a very low price.
This couldn't help but make them admire their mountain chief and young master even more.
After all, in the Tang Dynasty, they had never seen anyone like their young master who helped the court to protect the lives of his compatriots regardless of the cost.
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, wondering why these two people respected him more and more after not seeing each other for a day.
[Can the righteous rhetoric I used yesterday last for so long? 】
Without any time to think about it, Qin Ming hurriedly helped the two key members of the house up and said:
"Dean Li, Liulang, let's go into the room and talk."
"yes."
After speaking, Zhang Liulang led Qin Ming towards the factory director's office.
On the way, Qin Ming took advantage of Zhang Liulang and the two of them not paying attention, took Xiao Changxi's little hand, and squeezed it gently.
"Steward Xiao, are you the only one who came to the backyard by yourself? Why didn't you see Wan'er and Zijun?"
Xiao Changxi blushed and looked down at her small hands hidden in her long sleeves.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't bear to pull his hand back.
Xiao Changxi's pretty face turned red, she raised her head and glanced up. Qin Ming, who looked serious on the surface, replied:
"Zi Jun and Wan'er took Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum to inspect other workshops. It's almost time to return home."
Qin Ming's heart warmed up when he heard this, he held Xiao Changxi's hand tightly and said:
"Thank you for your hard work."
When Xiao Changxi heard this, she shook her head and whispered:
"My body is as sweet as sugar."
A few moments
Qin Ming and his party arrived and took their seats in the office.
Qin Ming asked straight to the point:
"Rokuro, so far, how many transport vehicles have been built today?"
Zhang Liulang thought for a while, stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Sir, many of the craftsmen in the house today are polishing parts or assembling carriages for the first time, so the training took a lot of time."
"So as of today, the workshop has only built eighty carriages."
"When the night shift ends in the evening, we will probably be able to assemble a hundred vehicles."
"But fortunately, we adopted the young master's suggestion. Now the personnel and space are no longer a problem. I think we will be able to build a thousand transport vehicles in a week."
Qin Ming nodded, then took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Zhang Liulang and said:
"Starting from tomorrow, all transport trucks will have six long wooden boards laid on the truck body as shown in the picture."
"In the future, this type of vehicle will be specially used to transport troops."
Zhang Liulang took a look at the drawing and immediately understood what Qin Ming meant.
He held the drawings, bowed and said:
"Young master is so talented, you can actually think of letting the soldiers sit in that car and drive away."
"It is the greatest honor of Zhang Liulang's life to personally supervise the construction of these carriages."
Li Chun glanced at the drawings and also bowed and said:
"Li Chun is equally proud of you!"
Qin Ming stood up, helped the two of them up and said:
"Okay, we are all a family, so I won't talk politely. In short, I will leave it to you to build the troop carrier."
"Six days later, it will be the day of the expedition. We must build enough troop carriers by then."
"The quantity cannot be less than one thousand. If you have any difficulties, just mention it to the government. Qin will try his best to satisfy you."
Li Chun and Zhang Liulang looked at each other and saw determination and confidence in each other's eyes.
The two of them cupped their hands and said:
"Promise to complete the mission! I will live up to the trust of the young master (mountain chief)!"
Qin Ming nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Okay, you guys get busy. Mr. and Butler Xiao will go back home first and come back tomorrow."
"Farewell to the young master (mountain chief)"
