Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 300 Overall Planning

  In modern life, we need to drink tea, but the water is not boiled, the kettle and teacups are not washed, and the tea leaves have to be fetched in the hall, what should we do?

  It takes one minute each to wash the kettle, teapot, and teacup, one minute to get the tea leaves, and ten minutes to boil the water. How long does it take to drink tea?

   To do this, most people can arrange it well without special instructions, and most of the time will not be wasted.

  Because even if you don’t know any advanced theory of mathematics, the experience in life is enough to support solving such problems.

but-

   What if you ask a ten-year-old kid who has never had this experience to do the same thing? Will he still do it in an orderly manner without wasting time and steps?

Or to make it more complicated, one hundred people should drink tea, but there are only twenty fires for boiling water, and only twenty people are allowed to boil water at the same time; It takes half a minute to get a set; there are only two places to get tea, and it takes 10 seconds for each person to get a bag of tea...

   Then when the hundredth person drinks tea, how much time will it take in total?

  The matter of moving the capital is like magnifying the event of a hundred people drinking tea ten thousand times...

  The royal family, hundreds of officials, the army, and the common people are all different, and the materials involved are also different. Moreover, the number is huge, and the complexity can be imagined.

  So how can we arrange the entire process more efficiently, so that personnel at each level can obtain the resources they deserve when migrating, make full use of time, and make all links fully operational?

  This involves organizational behavior and basic planning...

   It sounds very profound, but it is actually an advanced application of mathematical theory.

Fei Qian's descendants are senior veterans in the company's office. He is very proficient in resource allocation, staffing, etc. Waiting for meetings, ranging from a few hundred people to as many as several thousand people, all venue layouts, itinerary arrangements, vehicle scheduling, meals and accommodation must all be considered thoughtfully, and if there is a problem in one of the links, it will be a big problem...

  Therefore, the paper presented by Fei Qian contains the overall planning itinerary for the imperial family’s relocation of the capital in the Han Dynasty.

  The distance from Luoyang to Chang'an is about 800 miles, and the general marching distance is about 40 to 60 miles. That is to say, it takes about 15 days to travel from Luoyang to Chang'an.

  Fei Qian did not know exactly how many maids and eunuchs there were in the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty. These data can only be counted after the Shaofu calls out the documents. Therefore, Fei Qian only roughly uses an approximation to calculate. Anyway, if something like a decimal point was really created in the Han Dynasty, it would make people at a loss and even more incomprehensible.

Why do ordinary people feel irritable when they move, because there are too many things to count and pack, and they are fragmented. bother.

   What Feiqian presented to Li Ru at this time was such a classified statistics, divided into two parts: people and things. The chapter on personnel is the number and cost of various personnel including the emperor, while the chapter on goods is listed separately according to the four parts of clothing, food, housing and transportation, covering the royal family's clothing, food, living, guard of honor, etc. during the period from Luoyang to Chang'an. aspect items…

  Of course, due to the limitation of paper space, it is impossible for Fei Qian to write in detail for these projects. He just wrote some general classifications. The most important thing is a flow chart that occupies half of the paper space, also called a schedule.

  From Luoyang to Chang'an, taking each day as a node, the arrival location, the required personnel and materials, as well as the food and grass provided by various places, etc. are all indicated...

  The more Li Ru watched, the more interesting he became. Holding his beard, a smile finally appeared on his face.

It's not that he doesn't understand these things, and it's not that he doesn't know how to do them. Various matters such as the emperor's migration are in Li Ru's mind. Every day, every step has been carefully considered, but Li Ru can't do it like Fei Qian. Such a clear description and expression allows others to understand what they want to do after reading it, and to what extent it is called a good job.

  It’s like a big craftsman who can cut a piece of wood into a disc with an incomparable standard at will, but if you want to ask him what the pi is, the exact geometry of the area of ​​the disc, he will definitely not be able to answer...

Li Ru is now like such a great craftsman, everything in his heart is like a mirror, the overall layout of the itinerary is all planned in his heart, but the only trouble is that he can't completely let the things in his mind to the people under his hands learn.

  So it was only possible to explain one thing by one thing, and then the things were re-summarized to Li Ru one by one, and then they were calculated and adjusted in Li Ru's mind again, and then ordered to arrange personnel to carry out the next business.

  How can such a huge calculation not make people feel exhausted?

  How can such cumbersome steps not make people miserable?

  Li Ru suddenly remembered that the Fei Qian in front of him was not only a disciple of Cai Yong who was devoted to literature, but also a disciple of Liu Hong who was proficient in arithmetic...

Although Fei Qian didn't write very detailed, but the general meaning can be understood by Li Ruqu, especially the progress chart drawn in the second half of this piece of paper is like opening a window to let Li Ru saw another aspect of the landscape.

   It turns out that this matter can also be handled in this mode!

  Each item has a person in charge, and each person in charge has specific items to be completed every day, when to complete to what extent, and then with whom to hand over, so that the chain is interlocking, advancing layer by layer...

   What a rare magic trick!

  For Fei Qian, it took a whole day and repeated deduction to sort out the data. Of course, this is also something that was specially developed for Li Rucai.

  If you show the same piece of paper to Lu Bu, even if you show it to him for a year, how much can you understand?

Therefore, Fei Qian is not worried about how much this method can increase Dong Zhuojun's combat effectiveness, because there is no realistic and specific experience, and no basic theory support. Can't go up and use it.

   This is a method that Fei Qian came up with after thinking hard all the way, which can provide Li Ru and reduce his burden, but will not allow Dong Zhuojun to get much help in the later stage.

  Even if Li Ru understands and masters this method, what can be done? You must know that planning and organization are interdisciplinary subjects even in modern times, and it is not something that ordinary people in the Han Dynasty can master by knowing the method of arithmetic.

  So this is a bargaining chip, a bait pushed in front of Li Ru in exchange for what Fei Qian wants. Of course, this bait is very sweet, which obviously aroused Li Ru's interest.

  However, Li Ru obviously guessed what Fei Qian was thinking, smiled slightly, put down the paper, and asked, "Is there something Ziyuan wants to offer this method?"

   Brother Mengde, after I die, you have to promise me three things:

   One, I allow you to feel sorry for me for a while, but not forever;

   Second, I allow you to find a military officer to sacrifice wine, but he must be fair, because he also really loves you;

   Three, I allow you to come to worship me, but you are not allowed to bring Gongren, because I am still stingy after all...
