It's always a little less time to repair a weapon than to rebuild it. For example, if the barrel of the gun is broken, try to remove the barrel stuck in the barrel and reinstall a new one, without the need to remake the barrel. But if the tip of the gun is broken, on the contrary, instead of wasting time taking out the old barrel, it is better to remake the rod with a new one.

Most of the damaged weapons sent this time were broken guns, and the guns were originally more vulnerable to damage than the guns during training. According to the repair speed on weekdays, it will take about a whole day. Chen Kai looked at the classified numbers and immediately understood Chen Hui's plan. To put it bluntly, Chen Hui didn't intend to turn things upside down, but just to delay the completion of the mission with these damaged weapons for a day. Fight for a breath, that's all.

Otherwise, dragging this batch of broken weapons to the last few days, or simply breaking a hundred pieces in one go, will have a higher success rate of finding trouble for Chen Kai. But doing so is easy to delay the major event of sending troops, Chen Hui can distinguish priorities in this regard, and he is already much stronger than those guys who harm others and are not beneficial to themselves.

However, today is the first day of the sixth month, and there are still fourteen days to reach the date agreed by Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong. The production task is still heavy, and the bigger problem is that the army is about to be dispatched, and there will inevitably be more broken weapons in the towns that they think can be used during their usual training, but at this time they seem to be extraordinarily dazzling.

The timing of Chen Hui's pinch is very good, and it is also a matter of course to check the damaged weapons in advance. It's just that Chen Kai is by no means the kind of submissive character, some things can be compromised, but some things must not be compromised even half a step!

"This ten-month break, how are you resting?"

"Thanks to the blessing of joining the army, the villain can have this day of rest, and his spirit has eased up, and even his strength is more sufficient."

The craftsmen are smiling one by one, they do have this qualification, and the ten-month rest system is now only implemented by the ordnance workshop. The other towns and the various departments that recruited the general's subordinates did not have a clear rest system, and at most it was up to the chief to decide on his own.

In fact, there is no way to do this, since Zheng Chenggong started the army, he has either been discussing military affairs every day, or training his soldiers, just looking forward to a duel with the Qing army as soon as possible, and has never had a day off. The surname of the country leads by example, and the officials and generals below are naturally inevitable, even Chen Kai has not taken a day off so far.

"Now that you're resting, let's get back to work."

"The villain obeys."

The hustle and bustle of the past has resumed in the factory area, but Chen Kai has not disrupted the work plan because of the sudden batch of weapons to be repaired, and the work is still carried out in an orderly manner.

For now, the priority of the task of making new weapons is still the highest, this is Chen Kai's commitment to Zheng Chenggong, and it is also the foundation of his foothold in this group, and it is also the major matter of whether the army can be fully armed when Zheng Chenggong sends troops soon.

However, damaged weapons also need to be replenished, which is the responsibility of the armory workshop. As a result, Chen Kai adjusted the priorities of the overcapacity carpenters, and in addition to completing the guns that needed to be built that day and assembling the parts, he gave priority to repairing those broken guns, and the second was to continue to make pointed wooden guns that were only used as backup weapons for the troops.

Everything is the same in the workshop, the blacksmiths are still making gun heads at a rate of 18 per day, the carpenters are making gun barrels for repair, most of these damaged weapons are broken guns, although those weapons that need to be repaired by blacksmiths are still lying in the warehouse, and increasing every day, but the larger proportion of damaged weapons are constantly being repaired, and there is no excessive hoarding.

………………

"He's still making a new spear?"

"Yes, Young Master Chen. However, the carpenters have repaired a lot of those broken guns in recent days, and there are not too many broken weapons in the storehouse. The rest, at the usual speed, according to his words, will probably take a day and a half to complete the repair. ”

"Well, a day and a half, that's enough."

There is not much time left, although a day and a half is short, but it is enough for Chen Kai to complete the task, even if it is just such a moment and a half, it is also impossible to complete. It's like the difference between 1 and 0, which doesn't seem like much, but in essence, one has and the other doesn't!

………………

Nine days later, on the tenth day of the fifth month, it stands to reason that the next day should be the day of the mid-day holiday, and the craftsmen are looking forward to this day one by one. It's just that the construction hasn't started yet, but Chen Kai has proposed another thing.

"Over the past month or so, the efforts of the monarchs, not only the officials, but even the country surnamed Ye have also seen it, and even after the duty last night, the country surname Ye also praised the diligence of the monarchs with the official."

For these people, Chen Kai has never lacked the oppression at work, but he has never hesitated to praise. They deserve it, and it's all smiling at this moment. Chen Kai is their top boss, Zheng Chenggong is not only Chen Kai's top boss, but also the earl and the commander of the army, and it is a thing worth boasting about to be appreciated.

However, his purpose was not limited to this, after a while, the small courtyard was restored, and Chen Kai said to everyone: "As we all know, the towns have been lightly tapping broken weapons recently. Our ordnance workshop has the responsibility of manufacturing and repairing, and we should seize all the time to ensure the military use. Recently, the official also ordered the carpenter team to carry out the restoration, and now most of them have been repaired, and there are very few left. ”

"However, the production task of our ordnance workshop is still very tight, and there are still many damaged weapons in the warehouse that need to be repaired, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the set task before the 16th."

June 15 was the deadline for the mission, and Chen Kai assured Zheng Chenggong that every soldier would be able to carry real weapons into battle. However, repairing the damage was also within Chen Kai's task, and this was indeed a problem that he had not expected before, but discovered as the field work in the ordnance workshop unfolded.

This problem really affected the completion of the task, and everyone in the armory workshop could feel it more or less, but it was only because of the "magic calculation" that Chen Kai had revealed before that they had enough confidence in Chen Kai, so they would be silent so far. But now that Chen Kai has made it clear in public, it is necessary for them to make a statement.

"How many days will it take to join the army?"

"One day is enough."

Chen Kai was full of confidence, but the craftsmen present seemed a little embarrassed. But after some whispering, the opinions were unified, and then he said to Chen Kai: "Since the construction period is tight and the task is heavy, I won't rest tomorrow." ”

The craftsmen's psychological expectation for tomorrow was originally to have a good day of rest, but who would have thought that it would take a day to complete the task. Rest, then the task will not be completed, Chen Kai's guarantee to Zheng Chenggong will not be completed, and it will still have an impact more or less, whether it is Chen Kai or them. But if they don't rest, they are a little reluctant, and this thought is also in Chen Kai's eyes.

However, after this statement, Chen Kai shook his head, and then smiled at everyone: "The ten-month rest system was established by this official in this weapons workshop, and the official also said that if you can work overtime, you should try not to increase it, so as not to affect the next work status." As for the issue here, this official has thought about it carefully, and the ten-month rest cannot be abolished, but we can adjust the leave. ”

………………

"There is such a brazen way, is this guy a fool when everyone else?"

Adjusting the rest, plus adjusting the priority of product manufacturing, Chen Hui's means of adding pounds was dissolved by Chen Kai like a Tai Chi pusher, which really disappointed him.

"Father, I'm afraid I won't be able to find so many if I go to deliberately search again, or I will smash a batch and send it on the last day to see what else he can do!"

Chen Hui usually trained his soldiers in the barracks of the Right Pioneer Town, and this kind of thing was done by his son, so that he could accumulate experience in political struggle. However, this fight did not achieve the expected results, and even Chen Hui was furious when he heard his son's advice.

"Phew, what nonsense are you talking about, you kid! Let's make a move, and others will take it, this is a dignified and upright contest. Next, this is someone else's ability, you don't want to learn a lesson, you don't want to grow up, but you are so annoyed and angry, endless, like a market shrew, how can you be embarrassed to recommend your surname to you in the future? ”

In the rebuke of hating iron but not steel, the son of the Zhongjing Bo family also hurriedly fell to the ground and confessed his mistake to his father. Chen Hui was only temporarily dissatisfied with his son's incompetence, but things still need to set the tone, otherwise his son will be allowed to play freely, and God knows what will make things happen.

"Don't make trouble for the armory workshop again. Your Uncle Lin and Uncle Zhang are right, the troops are about to be dispatched, and you must not lose a big one because of a small one. ”

State affairs and selfishness, the boss's senses and momentary personal anger, what is small and what is big, Chen Hui can sit in the position of earl, and he can distinguish clearly. This kind of thing, once is to show muscles, as a coach will not bother with some innocuous competition between his subordinates, but if it is endless, so that it delays the big event, it is completely different.

"Uncle Chen......"

"You kid, you still have to sharpen your ability to see people and things for a few years. Don't look at Chen Bao's reckless appearance on weekdays, but he is not a muddy person. On that day, your Uncle Zhang made it clear that he agreed with his face for his father, but it was just for the sake of face. For now, let's do it for now. If there is anything, talk about it when you return from sending troops, and you don't want to provoke him again. ”

Without the sudden weighting, everything returned to normal, and Chen Kai took advantage of the day off to complete most of the repair tasks of the remaining ones. And the rest, put it on the last day, because at the rate of 18 spears per day, aside from the ten-day break, on the last day, only two spears need to be built to complete the task.

The rest of the time, that's enough.
