"Gao Gong, the lower official has a request." Li Zhongyi did not hesitate any longer, and while he was forced to accept the task, his heart was also full of expectation.

No man can look good, and the sea cannot fight!

Gao Hongtai has been so well prepared, and he has also done it first, and then the soldiers, both inside and outside.

Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that he had no way to retreat, so he could only face the difficulties and face the challenges head-on!

Gao Hongtai stroked his beard and said with a kind smile: "No blame, if you have any requirements, just mention it, the old man can do it, never say anything." "It looks righteous and awe-inspiring.

Li Zhongyi arched his hands and said: "The craftsmen who are assigned to the lower officials must have the right to be the masters. ”

Since Gao Hongtai has done a good job and has Sun Daqing's full cooperation, Li Zhongyi has reason to believe that whether it is a craftsman or a raw material, there is likely to be a problem.

According to Li Zhongyi's speculation, in terms of raw material supply, Sun Daqing should not dare to do anything, which will give Li Zhongyi a way to get out.

On the other hand, on the artisan side, it is very likely that there will be unfair distribution.

Gao Hongtai quietly exchanged a look with Sun Daqing secretly, and he smiled and said, "The craftsman assigned to you, the old man allows you to be self-contained." ”

Li Zhongyi understood as soon as he heard it, since Gao Hongtai was so generous, obviously, this bureau had already been done.

When Li Zhongyi returned to the arrow-making workshop, the scene in front of him just confirmed his thoughts. There were two-thirds of the craftsmen missing from the scene, and he was left either old, weak, sick or disabled, or a young hairy boy.

In addition to the skilled craftsmen in the prime of life, Zhou Chong, the judge of the case, as well as the officials and team leaders, all disappeared, and the managers of the workshop were gone.

Li Zhongyi had foreseen this. My heart was calm, without the slightest panic.

"Xiao Qi, how many people are left?" Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, and then ordered Li Xiaoba. "Xiaoba, you find an old craftsman and take a closer look at the situation of arrow-making tools?"

After Li Xiaoqi and Li Xiaoba were ordered to run errands, Li Zhongyi walked up to an old craftsman in ragged clothes and asked him gently: "Old man, what do you call you?" When I was picking someone just now. Why didn't you follow? ”

The old craftsman was about to kneel down immediately, but was supported by Li Zhongyi, Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, let's sit down and talk." ”

Li Zhongyi ignored the so-called official body and pulled the old craftsman's filthy right hand. Let him sit down beside him.

"Little ...... The villain, called Wang Xiaoyi, just now, when Master Zhou picked someone, he disliked the villain's age, and his hands and feet were not good, so he didn't want the villain. Wang Xiaoyi answered Li Zhongyi's question tremblingly.

Li Zhongyi secretly sneered, sure enough, it was Zhou Chong. Behind his back, he was secretly ghosted.

"Old man, how many arrows can you make in a day for these people who are left?" Li Zhongyi asked Wang Xiaoyi gently.

It's just that. Li Zhongyi was also a little surprised in his heart, among the people he knew, there were already several names named Xiaoyi, Huang Xiaoyi, Ma Xiaoyi, Wang Xiaoyi, and Yan Xiaoyi in the Water Margin.

Wang Xiaoyi snorted for a long time before he said sullenly: "The villain can make three arrows a day at the earliest." The old craftsmen left behind are roughly the same as the villains, and those hairy boys are still very raw. If you can make a good arrow in a day, you can do it. ”

According to Li Zhongyi's understanding. The so-called good arrows should refer to qualified arrows.

At this time, Li Xiaoqi walked back to Li Zhongyi's side quickly, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Hui Gongzi, there are a total of two hundred and fifty-five craftsmen left. Among them, there are more than 60 old craftsmen who are over 50 years old, and the rest are all apprentices who are 15 or 6 years old. ”

Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, the manufacturing task of 50,000 arrows a month means that the remaining craftsmen must each make 7 qualified arrows per day before it is possible to complete the manufacturing task pressed by Gao Hongtai.

Among them, more than 60 old craftsmen over the age of 50, due to long-term poor nutrition, whether it is energy or body, it is definitely difficult to support long-term production work.

As for the rest of the hairy boys, they are all apprentices, obviously, Sun Daqing has set up a dead end for Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi is too lazy to figure out who is behind him, in short, Gao Hongtai, Sun Daqing and Zhou Chong, none of them can escape, and they must all be involved in this conspiracy.

"Old man, do you think these apprentice craftsmen are useful?" Li Zhongyi looked at Wang Xiaoyi with a smile, just from the old man's ragged clothes, it can be seen that he does not follow Zhou Chong and those people to enjoy happiness on weekdays.

According to Mao Taizu, Wang Xiaoyi's situation should belong to the proper oppressed proletariat, and it is the object that Li Zhongyi can closely unite.

Of course, Li Zhongyi could not rule out that among the remaining craftsmen who were picked, there were still Zhou Chong's eyeliners.

It doesn't matter, take your time, when things come to an end, Li Zhongyi always remembers the motto: There is calm in every big event!

Two hundred and fifty-five craftsmen, all of them are useless, and it is a shame that Zhou Chong can come up with such a crooked trick!

Wang Xiaoyi thought about it for a long time before he said in a whisper: "It's just the level of sawing wood, and those apprentices don't have more than ten years of experience, so I'm afraid it's difficult to make it hard." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "What if, you personally guide the sawmill?" ”

"Back to the old parents, please forgive the villain for being stupid, you mean?" Wang Xiaoyi didn't understand the meaning of Li Zhongyi's words.

Li Zhongyi smiled and explained in detail: "For example, this sawmill, you start first, and then let the apprentice craftsman see down, is it feasible?" ”

Wang Xiaoyi lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "It's feasible, but it's easy to be crooked." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, Wang Xiaoyi's concerns were indeed to the point.

Apprentice craftsmen are not lacking in strength, mainly because they have little experience. Even if the old craftsman saws the beginning, when the wood is sawn, it is likely to become a waste product, which is not only too wasteful, but also easy to delay the work.

Li Zhongyi felt a little distressed, and the cards in his hand were very few. Although Gao Hongtai gave half of the task than Sun Daqing, but. The conditions are several times worse.

After careful inquiry, Li Zhongyi learned from Wang Xiaoyi that among the various processes of making arrows, sawing wood is actually the biggest difficult problem, which directly determines the speed of making arrows.

Besides. Iron arrows, polish arrow shafts, paste arrow feathers, etc., you can also think of other ways to use new tools to improve work efficiency.

At this time, Li Xiaoba came back and reported: "Son, the tools left behind, although they are not old or young. However, many of them are unusable. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, he had already been psychologically prepared, since he had offended Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin fiercely, he should have the consciousness of being retaliated by the enemy.

Although Li Xiaoqi and Li Xiaoba have slowly cultivated shrewd and capable energy. However, they couldn't help much with the technical work of making arrows.

Li Zhongyi was forced to have no choice, so he could only do everything himself and participate in the whole process.

In order to verify Wang Xiaoyi's statement, Li Zhongyi ordered him to choose a familiar apprentice craftsman and teach the apprentice to see wood by hand.

Li Zhongyi stood at the scene, watching Wang Xiaoyi skillfully operate the saw. On a willow tree that had been peeled, a cut was sawn.

After sawing for a while, Wang Xiaoyi's degree decreased significantly. Li Zhongyi knew that Wang Xiaoyi's body was no longer good.

However, Li Zhongyi did not interfere with Wang Xiaoyi's operation, he is not a carpenter, only an expert carpenter knows when the apprentice should take over.

Wang Xiaoyi slowly sawed for another quarter of an hour or so. Only then did Gao Xiaoer, the apprentice who had been standing beside him, follow the direction he had just sawn. Sawing all the way down.

However, Gao Xiaoer had just sawed a few times. What was originally a straight line was twisted into a diagonal line, apparently sawed crookedly.

Wang Xiaoyi sighed, hurriedly stepped forward, took Gao Xiaoer hand in hand, and continued to saw down.

A short saw, operated by two people, is indeed a bit of a hindrance, and the efficiency is very low.

After about a pillar of incense, Wang Xiaoyi led Gao Xiaoer and sawed the round willow wood into two.

Li Zhongyi has seen with his own eyes that the efficiency of sawing wood is still surprisingly low.

There are two difficult problems, one is that the apprentice is not skilled enough to cut a straight line; The other is that there are only short saws on site, which is very ineffective to use.

Li Zhongyi put his hands behind his back and fell into deep thought, at this moment, he suddenly heard a soft "click" sound in his ears, and when he looked up, he dared to see that the iron saw blade was broken into two because of overheating friction.

The old problem has not been solved, this new problem is in front of us, and the quality of the chainsaw blade is also very worrying.

What should I do?

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that the opponent hiding in the shadows did not expect to put him to death just this time.

However, once the time is up, Li Zhongyi can't hand over the qualified 50,000-character feather arrows, and the opponent can unscrupulously pour dirty water on his body, and the deputy envoy of salt and iron will obviously not be able to continue to do it.

Li Zhongyi has no effective backers in the civil service system of the court, and once his reputation is stigmatized, it will inevitably affect his status in Chai Rong's mind.

Hey, Li Zhongyi suddenly remembered that when he first became the vice president, he changed to a new home with four bedrooms and two living rooms according to his rank.

During the renovation period, the master carpenter deliberately erected a long simple wooden frame in order to create a special bookcase for Li Zhongyi's study.

Li Zhongyi didn't remember it very clearly, he glanced at it and vaguely recalled some of the circumstances at that time.

At that time, in order to see a straight line, the carpenter first drew a clear ink line on the board. When cutting with a chainsaw, the carpenter follows the ink line and saws all the way down so that the saw will not be crooked or distorted, so as not to waste the material.

By the way, Li Zhongyi vaguely remembered that the carpenter's chainsaw itself had a partition that controlled the direction, and as long as the hand did not tremble, it was almost impossible to cut crookedly.

Well, it looks like the process needs to be improved. Li Zhongyi didn't rush to start, he, a layman, didn't understand too many things. (To be continued)
