Chapter 1666: eager to learn
Human resources are of great importance.
Even though we are recruiting everywhere now, the craftsmen are recruiting and starting to teach them skills to their apprentices, but they are still... they are still a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, in some places, the terrain is too complex, which is also a great challenge for technicians.
Zhang Heling was thinking about something every day.
And his incompetent brother is now holding a work of engineering mechanics and reading it every day. He looks for someone to ask if he doesn't understand.
How can you not worry about money?
In the eyes of the Zhang brothers, there are only those who are not good people in this world. All good people are dead. From the dog emperor to the most ordinary laborers, they seem to be shining green light, staring at the Zhang family all day long, trying to bite a piece of meat from the Zhang family.
The Zhang family has now started to move.
Everything you learn is.
Opening your mouth means load-bearing, geology, cost, and labor costs. Even Zhang Heling is now circling around the iron lump, pinching his fingers, and thinking about it all day long.
What the two brothers are thinking about is to start construction quickly. If they don’t start construction, they mean that they are wasting waste. If they are exhausted, they have to operate the money. The sooner the railway is built, the earlier it can be operated and earned back the money. The longer the construction period is delayed, the greater the loss.
Zhang Heling is always on Chang Wei every day. Chang Wei lists one difficult problem after another. With the difficult problem, Zhang Heling grits his teeth and makes suggestions.
When the family saw that Zhang Heling was as if he was crazy, he went out to wander around during the day, holding a book in his hand and came back. He refused to sleep at night. He drank half a bowl of porridge and the remaining half bowl carefully, and then began to flip through the book. In the second half of the night, he was so hungry that he could not bear it, so he ate the remaining half bowl. In this way... In just over ten days, Zhang Heling became thinner and thinner.
Of course, he doesn't think of others as fat as they are.
Zhang Xi, the manager in the mansion, was very worried when he saw the master like this. He was carried by the two masters of the Zhang family to learn calculations. At his age, he only knew how to plan for the abacus. No matter how advanced the arithmetic is, he could learn how to learn it.
What's more, almost all the servants of the Zhang family work in the Zhang family. Since they entered the mansion, they have never received wages. Of course... everyone is not stupid. On the surface, they are working hard for the Zhang family, but in fact, with the identity of a servant of the Zhang family, they are majestic when walking outside, and many people want to sell themselves and defect to each other.
In the tranquility, the dawn of the morning light shone out. Zhang Xi got up. When he arrived at the study first, he saw two masters sitting upright reading a book, while the second master was holding the desk in his hand and waking up. When he was half asleep and half awake, his tongue subconsciously licked his lips, as if he was having something in his dream.
Zhang Xi went up and said, "Master, it's dawn." "Ah?" Zhang Heling reacted in shock, and then quickly cheered up his energy, his blood-filled eyes moved away from the book reluctantly. This was a project cost science in the School of Calculation. He was fascinated by the viewing. At this time, he looked up and was a little confused. Sure enough, he saw the dawn outside the window and had already penetrated.
Zhang Heling frowned, but was angry: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Zhang Xi looked at Zhang Heling's face carefully and said, "Little man... Seeing that the master was not moving in the study, the villain thought that you were going to sleep here, so he didn't dare to disturb him. It was the villain's fault, the villain..." "Beast!" Zhang Heling was even more angry and cursed: "It's been so bright, and the light has not yet been turned off, so why not come to remind me early?"
After he said that, he bulged his cheeks and blew out the oil lamp on the desk. He looked at the oil lamp. There was so much less oil. He couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands and looked like he couldn't bear to look directly.
Zhang Yanling, who was standing beside him, was awakened by the roar, and hurriedly waved his head, sat upright, immediately picked up the mechanics theory on the desk, and continued to look through his eyes.
Zhang Xi hurriedly gave himself a crisp slap: "Yes, the villain died. But Master... Although you are eager to study,... your body is also important. ""This is my business, what does it have to do with you?" Zhang Heling snorted coldly." If his body collapses and becomes sick, it will take money to treat it. "Zhang Xi reminded him earnestly." I...I..." Zhang Heling said: "I am in good health and can endure it." "If you endure, the minor illness will become a serious illness." Zhang Xi continued worriedly: "Master, now the whole mansion is in trouble. What should we do if you have any mistakes?"
When Zhang Heling heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at Zhang Xi seriously.
Zhang Xixin said that after hearing this, the master will definitely benefit from it and will trust him more in the future.
Zhang Heling smiled and said with a smile: "You guy, you know how to argue. There is only one person who is on the construction site outside the pass. You like to argue so much. Come on, come on, I will pack up my things for you tomorrow and let me go out of the pass."
This scene was unexpected to Zhang Xi…”No…”Zhang Xi was stunned, and there was a tragic look on his face. He suddenly crawled on the ground: “Master, the villain is loyal to you.” “If you don’t give it to Master, I will go to work on the construction site outside the customs, dare you say you are loyal? If someone comes, someone brings him down, this dog has ruined so much food in the mansion, and you can’t afford to raise this dog. Take it away, let someone stare at him, tie it up tomorrow and ask Chang Wei to arrange a errand to carry a sleeper!”
Several servants were silent as if they were to pull Zhang Xi out in a row.
Zhang Xi refused to leave, struggled and cried: "Master, Master, the villain has been drinking porridge with the master for so many years, and he has worked hard without credit..."
But this annoying sound soon drifted away and eventually couldn't hear it.
Zhang Yanling shivered and couldn't help but look at his brother: "Brother, has this... been passed?" "No." Zhang Heling's expressionless face and looked wise: "No, have you ever seen Chen Gai's engineering management theory? There is a saying in it that I can be said to be deeply loved by my heart. Engineering is extraordinary. All the people who are treated are strong. This kind of blood and energy gather together is a hidden danger. Someone needs to obey you and let them know how powerful you are. They have to feed them and make them work hard to work, and they also need to establish authority. How can they establish authority? That is, they want to know that I, Zhang Heling, have no relatives and turn against others. In order to build this railway, I have nothing to do.
It can be done. What is it called "Take a Treasure". Originally... Brother Wei wanted to send you to carry sleepers outside the pass, and you sent them all. Do you dare to delay trouble, including the lazy Chang Wei? Do you still dare to say no to me? Do the rest of the people still dare to say that there is difficulties? But after thinking about it, although you are a little stupid, you are my brother after all. You always have to keep a line of conscience, otherwise how can you be worthy of your dead parents? Zhang Xi was just right. This dog has been in the mansion for so many years and has been treated better and better. He has long felt that it was not worth it. He just took the excuse to send him out, and he also used it to let Chang Wei and others see it. Our Zhang family stared at them, so they could not think of perfunctory things."
Zhang Yanling swallowed and spitted, shrank his neck, and felt a chill on his back, and he felt a little creepy. It turned out that he had walked in the gates of hell.
…………
At this moment, a team of envoys arrived at the capital.
The new emperor ascended the throne and had already sent out a letter to all parts of the world. Even if it was a vassal state, they would need to send envoys to Beijing to celebrate.
Zhu Houzhao attached great importance to these envoys. He personally accepted the visits of the envoys and immediately made a "suggestion" asking the kings of various kings to come to Beijing.
Although this is a suggestion, it is obviously indesirable.
Fang Jifan then privately invited envoys from various countries, but it was an open and secret suggestion that the emperor is now in a state of being angry and has a relatively anxious temper. Under normal circumstances, if he wants to do something, if everyone doesn't do it, His Majesty will definitely be furious.
Then, it began to suggest that the Ming army might use Luzon as a springboard to attack the Portuguese in Java.
Not only that, the local natives in Luzon, all the sons of local native chiefs, need to send their children to Beijing.
Envoys from various countries were in a panic and talked endlessly.
A few days later, Fang Jifan took the envoys of the countries to the west to observe the training of the First Army.
The training of the First Army's troops was over and they began to contact guns and cannons.
The teams were all live ammunition, and for a moment, gunfire was endless and cannons rumbling.
After the exercise, Fang Jifan entered the palace to see him.
Zhu Houzhao was in Fengtian Hall, looking angry: "It's so unreasonable, it's so unreasonable. Lao Fang, come and see, the Ottoman envoy dares to say such things to me."
He said, angrily throwing a memorial onto the document.
Liu Jin beside him quickly took the memorial and sent it to Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan took it, looked down and couldn't help but say, "This Ottoman envoy's Chinese is good, the parallelism is neat, and the scriptures are quoted from classics. Even running scripts are like flowing water, which makes people feel comfortable. This imitation must be thin gold, good, good."
Zhu Houzhao bulged his eyes and said, "Is it time to appreciate this? Didn't you look at what's said?"
Fang Jifan only looked at it briefly, but he felt funny in his heart. The Ottoman actually quoted Confucian words and implicitly criticized the Ming emperor for being unkind and summoned the kings of various kings to Beijing, which was no different from the protons of all dynasties.
Fang Jifan coughed and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, what's so angry about this? This Ottoman envoy is just a corrupt scholar."
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, and said in anger: "He said that I am not kind, that is, they say that their Ottomans are benevolent and righteous. How can I be unfair?"
