"The carriage can't be filled?"
"Yes, if it's fully loaded, it's definitely overweight. That's how it's always been loaded, you just didn't notice!"
"So how many carriages will we need?"
"My rough estimate is that we need at least 320 carriages. That's about seven trains, not including the escort team on the train."
Jiang Cha reported to the housekeeper in the office that this man was the one who took her to the backyard yesterday.
This morning I heard everyone in the backyard calling him butler. I don’t know if it was his code name or his real identity.
The carrying capacity of today's trains is not as good as that of later generations. Trucks transporting materials like this must be weighed before they can be loaded.
The heavier supplies in this batch were food and ammunition, which occupied half of the more than 300 train cars. The rest were winter beddings that took up too much space.
It would be easy to put all those bits and pieces together. She even contacted the train management office and stipulated that the load of the train carriages could not exceed 60 tons.
Each carriage cannot be fully loaded, and each train can have a maximum of fifty carriages or wagons.
But according to the Japanese custom, there would be a squadron on each train to carry out escort tasks.
I don't know how they arrange it, whether they need to set aside a separate carriage or disperse it everywhere.
These are the housekeeper's concerns and have nothing to do with ginger tea.
Her mission had been completed. She had come here and been under supervision for several days just to count a few numbers.
If she was really a weak scholar, she would most likely have been silenced.
But who is she?
Would you be willing to stay in this shabby place without any benefits?
Not to mention anything else, she was terrified every day when going to the toilet. It was relatively easy for a grown-up girl like her to dress up as a man, but taking a bath and going to the toilet was simply too scary.
Taking a shower can train you to take a strong shower, and you should always be prepared to finish the shower when you go to the toilet.
I don’t know how Mulan managed to get away with it back then, but she was extremely miserable.
"Oh! You are an educated person after all. We have been struggling with that unclear number for a long time, and you figured it out in one day?
"Did you feel exhausted yesterday? You cultured people use your brains, unlike us roughnecks who work so hard but don't understand anything."
The way this guy spoke didn't sound like a rough guy at all. He had seen real rough guys before.
On the way back, she saw what a real rough man looked like in the third-class cabin.
This guy pretends to be a rough guy, but he is actually a treacherous person.
He was wearing the same clothes as the men in the backyard and looked like a rough man who did manual labor, but the calluses on his hands were in the wrong place.
Another thing is that the fingernails are clean and tidy, and you can tell at a glance that they have been carefully trimmed.
These hands don't look like those used for work, and his face and arms with rolled-up sleeves are both bronze.
Only the left wrist is a little white, probably because of wearing a watch for a long time.
I just don't know why he took it off. The butler is wealthy and can afford a cheaper watch.
Unless his watch is too expensive and someone who knows the value of it can recognize it at a glance, he will take it off temporarily.
The housekeeper saw Jiang Cha standing there stiffly and not saying anything, looking like a quail.
I'm thinking of staying for a few more days, in case it comes in handy later.
After all, this thing can't make any waves, and it's really tiring to watch it all day long!
I heard from Da Zhuang who entered his room last night that this kid still calls for his mother when he sleeps at night!
When he was this old, I wonder how many lives he had taken!
Warlords from all over the country may raise their flags and become commanders today, and he may raise his flags and occupy a region tomorrow.
He just hung around everywhere, with his head on his waist, always thinking about making a name for himself while he was still young.
As a result, the team that was hastily assembled was defeated after just a few battles.
Fortunately, he finally followed a truly capable master who was not only financially strong but also very capable.
So many things were produced right under the noses of the Japanese.
There are still so many dayans, I can’t imagine how much money I can exchange for them.
The Nanjing side has always declared its opposition to Dayan, and will strictly investigate and punish those who hide or sell Dayan privately. Once discovered, all property will be confiscated and the law will impose heavy penalties, including death penalty.
In fact, those who actually hoard and resell dayan are probably connected to the KMT in some way.
How can ordinary people afford this thing?
Not to mention that its price is comparable to gold, it would be a real hassle for robbers during transportation.
Otherwise, why would his superiors target the Japanese transport vehicles?
It’s because too many goods have been lost in the occupied areas in the past two years, and the higher-ups are angry and decided to teach the Japanese a lesson.
Jiang Cha watched the man unconsciously tapping the table with his index finger, wondering what he was thinking.
After spending a long time with such a cunning guy, I feel uncomfortable all over.
"Brother Butler, is there anything else you need me to do? Besides arithmetic, I can also help with packing boxes and simple manual labor. It's not good to just eat for free here, right?"
After saying that, he clenched his hands into fists, holding them tightly as if he was very nervous.
The housekeeper opposite, who was just thinking about something, felt it was an eyesore to see her useless appearance.
"What can a skinny guy do? In the evening, when you're in the yard watching them loading the truck, stay away so they don't bump into you!"
Jiang Cha smiled and nodded quickly, looking like a fool.
Make me feel that my leader finally appreciates me and assigns me tasks.
