Five hundred guan was a big figure for Wei Zheng, who had a clear mind. How much was his annual salary? He had to support a family, so even if it was reduced to one-tenth, he couldn't afford it.

Being poor is poor, there is no other reason.

However, for a rich man like Lu Guogong, five hundred dollars is not a sky-high price. Even if he feels distressed, he will never give up because of this. Even the reason that it will be significantly cheaper in a few days is not enough to delay buying a car.

time.

"That's it, I want one!"

Looking at King Han with a smile on his face, Cheng Zhijie gritted his teeth secretly and said: "Please ask your Majesty to have someone make it as soon as possible. It would be best if we can go out for an outing in time for the spring."

Hearing this, he immediately shook his head, and Li Yuanjia smiled and said: "Haha, this is a bit difficult. The craftsmen who made the carriage for me are currently busy with the tasks assigned by His Majesty. It is estimated that it will take another month or two to be free. The carriage

If we want to do it well...well, we have to wait until May."

Since the beginning of winter, the overturning workshop has been almost a day-to-day rhythm of work and one day off.

The weather is too cold.

Without enough warm clothing, especially gloves, the craftsmen could not work at all. Even if they reluctantly worked, the result would be cuts after cuts on their hands. So in the end, in order to ensure that the tasks assigned by the king could be completed next year, Wang Puna

Bian had no choice but to order the entire line to stop work and wait until the weather got warmer.

In other words, most of this month or so has been wasted.

Therefore, once the weather gets warmer, the carpenters must go all out to resume the production of overturned cars. Especially next March, it is the critical moment for them to complete the task, and they must not be interrupted! They must wait until after March. The carpenters Li Shimin gave his brother can take a month

When three hundred overturned carriages were built, Chen Mu and other carpenters affiliated with Prince Han's Mansion could free their hands to build a brand new four-wheeled carriage for Cheng Zhijie.

But Cheng Zhijie was a little dissatisfied with this response.

Just when he wanted to say something nice so that Li Yuanjia could give him a delay, the other party suddenly smiled and said: "In addition, there is another advantage to delaying it to May, that is, the cost of the carriage can be reduced to 400 guan; if Lu Guogong

If you are willing to wait until August or September, you can at least reduce it to 300 yuan per car...well, even less, it is not impossible!"

After hearing his words, Cheng Zhijie's eyes widened instantly, and the doubts in his heart blurted out: "Four hundred guan? Three hundred guan? Why so few?!"

"Haha, it's very simple, because after everyone arranges it in a unified way, everyone's efficiency improves!"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Yuanjia chuckled.

"Efficiency? What does that mean?"

"...To put it simply, the speed at which things are done can be speeded up using some methods."

"what way?"

"..."

Looking at the confused and curious Duke Lu, Li Yuanjia opened his mouth. He really didn't know how to explain to him that if the person in front of him was the King of Wei, he would be very happy to explain, because Li Yuanjia knew that Li Tai could definitely do it.

I understand what I'm talking about, but this person in front of me...

If you tell him ten times, will he understand?

Fortunately, Li Yuanjia immediately thought of a way, blinked and shrugged: "Actually, it's the same method as rolling a car, which can speed up the speed and reduce the cost. But it's the same as rolling a car, it must be manufactured in large quantities to be useful. If it's just for you

If we make one...it will be slow and expensive, so there is no other way."

As soon as it was said that it was like a car rolling over, Cheng Zhijie understood immediately.

The King of Han accepted His Majesty's mission and issued a military order to build 300 rolling carts a month. Cheng Zhijie naturally knew about it, and he also knew that he had to use a special method to do it. It's just that he had to use a special method to do it.

What the specific method was, Lu Guogong was at a loss.

For a fifty-year-old man, it may be easier to get him to accept the assembly line, but it is too difficult for him to learn mathematics and understand the overall arrangement method.

King Han was not interested in explaining, but Duke Lu's interest was suddenly piqued. He squinted his eyes and asked: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, can your method be used in other places? For example, in iron smelting.

Category?"

"Ironmaking? That's not possible."

After being stunned for a moment, Li Yuanjia laughed and said: "This method can only be used... well, it must be used to build things, and it must be a slightly more complicated thing. For example, a siege vehicle used in the army.

Similar, more effective, and..."

After hesitating for a moment, he did not continue.

Although Li Yuanjia really wanted to say that making weapons, arrows and the like can be used, and can greatly reduce costs, but unfortunately, he does not know much about ancient weapon manufacturing, and he does not know whether the assembly line method can be used there.

I'm going up there, so it's better to keep your mouth shut and say nothing.

"That's it..."

After listening to his words, Cheng Zhijie nodded thoughtfully, an intriguing look flashed in his eyes.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Yuanjia waved directly to Han Lucheng: "Lu Guogong's tea is cold, please change it to hot one!"

"Ah? No need, haha."

Being awakened by his voice, Cheng Zhijie laughed and said: "Your Majesty, a veteran of tea, really can't enjoy it. It's so uncomfortable to drink it!"

"..."

Suppressing the urge to roll his eyes, Li Yuanjia just twitched the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

"Alas! Why is it so difficult to promote tea these days?"

Looking at Lu Guogong, who had a look of contempt in his eyes and clearly disapproved of the tea, Li Yuanjia could only sigh secretly, missing his eldest nephew very much at this time.

Look at Li Tai. He is good at mathematics, understands things quickly, and even likes to drink brewed tea. He is simply the most perfect "progressive" of this era, and the person Li Yuanjia hopes to have regular contact with.

Take another look at the person in front of you...

To be honest, after being in contact with Li Yuanjia for a long time, I really don’t want to see him.

It was quite difficult for a modern person to get along with an ancient person. It was difficult to find a common language. If he met an older person like Cheng Zhijie again, Li Yuanjia really felt that there was nothing to talk about.

But just when he felt bored, Cheng Zhijie suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know which method you mentioned. Can I learn it?"

"Hmm? Duke Lu, do you want to learn?"

After hearing Cheng Zhijie's words, Li Yuanjia's eyes suddenly widened.

"Yes, I want to learn, I don't know. Is it okay?"

"this……"

After being stunned for a moment, Li Yuanjia's expression gradually became weird.

"If it's inconvenient, forget it."

"Haha, there's nothing inconvenient about it."

Seeing that the other party was trying to back down, Li Yuanjia immediately became anxious and quickly shook his head and said: "It is my honor that Lord Lu wants to learn. There is no problem of course! But if you want to learn that method, you must first do it."
