Tsui Hark sat down, Du Zhongxiao said: "A few days ago, I received a letter from my family. I knew you were here to Xiangzhou. I said I had been here for a few days. I waited for a few days, but I didn't want to arrive today. Since I was here, don't think about it and settle down."

Tsui Hark said: "The student originally wanted to come a few days ago, but it was delayed for a few days because he helped load the car for several tea merchants in Xiangzhou."

Du Zhongxiaoqi said: "You are helping with the car? You don't look like you are doing a job. Besides, tea merchants are all big merchants, so how can you not afford to hire people?"

Tsui Hark said: "I misunderstood the review. It was when the road was being built before, and these tea merchants paid the money and said they had set the shipping fee for the train to transport goods in advance. After the trains were opened these days, some cars were given to them. I just installed them a few times, and the cars were empty and I was not satisfied, so I was worried."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Oh, then how did you help them solve it?"

"Students asked them to pack in wooden carriages first, number one box after another, and then load them into the carriages by number."

Du Zhongxiao laughed when he heard this: "Have you ever thought about any better way? Pretend quickly and full."

Tsui Hark shook his head: "It's just that when I encountered this incident, I could just fill the carriage. The students didn't think about it."

Du Zhongxiao was on a whim and said, "This is a science. There are exactly the same carriage everywhere. How to load the car in the shortest time. When you arrive at a place, how to unload the car to use the shortest time. As you mentioned just now, how to make it better. For example, stack it into stacks on the platform according to the carriage and then move it into the carriage. There are two ways to move it into the carriage. One is to move the car with the small number first, and the other is to move the carriage first. The same is true when unloading the car. The so-called first in, first out, or first in, and then out is different."

Tsui Hark bowed awkwardly: "Returning to the lift, the students have never thought about this."

Du Zhongxiao laughed: "It was only when I heard you mention it that I thought of these things. In the future, trains and ships will use these knowledge."

Tsui Hark's method only solves the problem of filling the carriage without improving efficiency. The most convenient method is actually simple, which is to stack it in advance and transport it directly in. There is a word called stacking, which is actually a way to load and unload goods. When Tsui Hark mentioned this issue, Du Zhongxiao remembered it.

Now that the train has not been developing for a long time, there are actually not many cars on the railway, which is far from meeting the needs of transportation. Compared with road construction, the production capacity of steam engines is more difficult to improve. There are fewer cars on the road, and the scheduling problem is not prominent. In the future, there will be more and more complicated dispatching, and the time for cars to stop at the station is getting shorter and shorter. How to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading is really a knowledgeable thing.

At the station, the method of increasing manpower can be used, and the contradictions are not very prominent. On the battlefield, efficiency is crucial to transport logistics materials. Taking advantage of the questions raised by Tsui Hark, Du Zhongxiao felt it was necessary to study military logistics specifically.

There is a train connected to Xiangzhou, and it is much more convenient to go back to Xuzhou. Han Yueniang often takes the train home, staying for a few days before coming back. Sometimes Du Xun and Han Lian will also take the train, and the family will meet at any time, which is very different from before.

These days, Han Yueniang returned home and learned about Tsui Hark. She wrote a letter to ask Du Zhongxiao to take care of him. The lawsuit against the Wang family to terminate the engagement was still being fought, but there was no result, and the two could only stay outside.

Because the Wang family has accepted the betrothal gift, Wang Xiaoma is already someone else's wife, and the Wang family fought a divorce lawsuit, which is very troublesome. At this time, it is easy for the man to regret the marriage, so it is enough to give up the betrothal gift. The woman is very troublesome. If the man disagrees, the slightest can be a 60-year or a one-and-a-half-year prisoner. If he gets married, he will be recovered and relocated to his ex-husband.

On the other hand, social atmosphere encourages women to choose their husbands according to their own wishes. Divorce is not a rare thing. For example, in the third year of the Jinshi period in the first year of Baoyuan, Zu Wuze was named after Zu Wuze. His wife was beautiful and disliked Zu Wuze for not looking good, so he filed for divorce. The second Cheng Cheng Hao, a Taoist scholar, had a high condition for choosing a son-in-law, but he had not chosen a suitable person for seven or eight years. Unfortunately, he passed away and never got married in his life. Cheng Yi admired this attitude very much.

The matter of Mrs. Wang is not shocking. In this era, it is very common, just a lawsuit. After grinding, it means asking the man to agree, no longer pursue the matter, and returning the betrothal gift to compensate their family for some money. Mrs. Wang is determined not to marry, and the man will not have to marry, otherwise the family will be in a state of uneasy and entangled, but it will be just a vent of anger.

The Wang and Xu family, relatives and friends helped the young couple avoid the man's pursuit, and it ended when they lost the patience to terminate the engagement.

The Song Dynasty was different from later generations. Before getting married, women had the right to inherit property, which was their own dowry. Daughters could not share the property of their elders with their brothers. Their share was relatively small, and the dowry was generally the basis. In the Song Dynasty, it was popular to marry well, and marry daughters, and it cost much more than marrying a wife. For example, a wealthy family spent fifty cents on their daughters, but only thirty cents on their daughters, and the roughly proportion was that the popularity of marrying a wife was popular, which caused two bad consequences. One was that there were drowning babies among the people, and the other was that there were many old girls who could not get married.

If the man wants to terminate the engagement, in addition to returning the betrothal gift, he also needs the dowry he should have. After all, it is a matter of money. The longer the amount is delayed, the more impatient the woman's family will naturally become.

After all, in this era, there were no constraints from many rituals and customs in later generations, and there was no relationship between men and women, and it was more of an economic problem. After the lawsuit was over, Tsui Hark and Wang Xiaozi were normal without wives and had no sequelae. It was just that Wang Xiaozi remarried after remarriage in the second marriage. In this era, the rich widows, even the prime minister rushed to marry.

After asking about Tsui Hark’s experience these days, Du Zhongxiao said: “The land stewardship is the time to use people. Let’s settle down here first. You are a scholar. You are here for me these days. I will give you a few booklets. If you have learned it well, just be a teacher.”

Tsui Hark said: "The booklets of the field affairs and the iron supervisor have been read before, and they are very suitable for my spleen and stomach. I have been exploring and learning by myself. If I get a wise teacher, I feel it is not too difficult. I like to travel around the mountains and rivers the most in my life, and fame and fortune are the second. Whether it is a teacher or other things, I can have some spare time, and it is best to travel around nearby."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Since that's the case, that's the best. You live in first, study while watching, and be familiar with this place. See if you like it, find a job in the yamen. In addition to the field affairs, I am also in charge of Changping Warehouse. I dare not say anything else. There is no problem traveling around Jingxi Road."

After deciding whereabouts, Tsui Hark said: "Ti Ju, a few days ago, when a student was in the capital, he met a monk who was good at illusion. He said he was a monk who was a master of enlightenment and believed in many people. There was a Leng Qing who was with that man, who said he was a prince who was wandering outside. I had talked to them, and the man had a very good conversation, not like an ordinary person. Many people in the capital knew about this, and many wealthy families in the capital helped him, but they didn't know whether it was true or not."

Du Zhongxiao said: "How can the prince who is wandering among the people trust this matter? In addition to the suburbs, the emperor is very likely to leave the palace and is not a person who can visit privately among the people. How could such a thing happen?"

Tsui Hark said: "Leng Qing said that his mother was a palace maid in the palace. After she was pregnant, she left the palace and gave birth to him. It is not impossible for her to be released from the palace in the palace. It is true that there are many people who believe in it, and they are in the capital, so I feel that there is something in the background."
