Lu Li personally discovered a small problem. The small problem was that when the torch was placed on the shelf, if the shelf was pushed down and the shelf hit the ground, the base of the torch would be damaged when the torch was pinned to the ground.

Lu Li thought it was a small problem. Lu Li was also an experienced carpenter himself, but when he started to solve the problem, he found that it was very difficult.

Lu Li thought very simply. Since the base is easy to be damaged, he should make the base stronger. He did this three times in a row. The ring-shaped base holding the torch became thicker each time, but the frame fell to the ground and the torch was stuck on the ground.

Either the base is still cracked, or the torch was hit by the ground and retracted inside.

Therefore, Lu Li will face two problems.

First, we have to find a way to make the base snap ring as strong as possible. If it is not strong enough, make it thicker. If it doesn't work, replace it with strong wood. Second, if you hit the ground with a torch and poke it, the torch will go inside.

We need to find a way to make the clasp like a bamboo tube, with a knot in the middle to prevent the torch from shrinking inward.

A seemingly simple problem is technically very difficult.

Such a heavy wooden frame is smashed to the ground with great force. To make the thin snap ring withstand the reaction force of the impact, the material requirements are relatively high.

As Lu Li thought, it was very difficult to design a structure like a bamboo tube to resist the torch and prevent it from moving.

The structure Lu Li had in mind would require a whole piece of wood and a hole cut out of it, which would not be possible in a short time.

Lu Li was struggling with the wooden frame, so Li Mengxi waited like this for almost an hour. Li Mengxi got bored waiting, and Lu Li hadn't finished the frame yet.

Seeing that his younger brother had fallen asleep while waiting, Li Mengxi took his younger brother back to sleep. After taking his younger brother for two steps, Li Mengxi turned back again.

Li Mengxi randomly found a carpenter and told him, "I'm going to send my brother back to bed first, and I'll be back in a while. If Lu Li comes to see me, tell him to wait for a while."

"Got it." The carpenter pulling the saw responded.

Only then did Li Mengxi leave with peace of mind.

Turning back is out of etiquette.

Lu Li and the others might have to go to bed late tonight because of the wooden frame. If they came to see Li Mengxi after finally finishing the exhausting work, and saw that Li Mengxi was not there, they thought that Li Mengxi couldn't wait to go to bed, and their hearts dropped.

After all, they were still working, and Li Mengxi, who was urging him to work, went back to sleep without saying a word. It was too disrespectful.

Or, seeing that Li Mengxi was not around, Lu Li was considerate of Li Mengxi's young age and might not be able to sleep, so Lu Li ordered the carpenters to go back to sleep.

Then, after Li Mengxi sent his brother back, he came back to the carpenter's camp and saw that everyone was asleep. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?

At this time, everyone was already asleep, and Li Mengxi was too embarrassed to wake them up again.

In this way, things were delayed for one more night.

Now the rebel army is not large in scale, and the carpenter camp is not far from where the baggage team is camped. Li Mengxi comes back and forth every two minutes, so he will not be away for another three or two minutes. Lu Li saw no one and immediately sent people to sleep.

But in the future, as the army expands in size, what should we do if we have to walk for more than ten minutes from the war barracks to the carpenter camp?

Li Mengxi was not seen for more than ten minutes, and Li Mengxi did not explain whether he was waiting or not. This was an oversight not only in etiquette but also in management.

Thinking more seriously, if one day, Li Mengxi was urging the carpenters to make something at night, and suddenly there was an urgent military situation, Li Mengxi was called by Liu Bei to discuss the military situation. The discussion lasted all night, and Li Mengxi did not explain when he left, and the carpenters did not

I didn't dare to go to bed, but I didn't dare to disturb the military camp, so I waited all night.

The next day, Li Mengxi forgot that he had anything to do at the carpenter's camp. He passed by the carpenter's camp in the morning. Lu Li came up with dark circles under his eyes and asked, saying that the things were ready. The brothers waited all night and asked Li Mengxi when they would take a look.

At this time, if Li Mengxi looked surprised and said, "Hey! I forgot to tell you, I made you wait all night in vain. Didn't you sleep all night? Go to bed quickly!" Is this appropriate? What an asshole.

I don't know why people call me mother-in-law.

The problem is not big, but in the final analysis it lies in the lack of etiquette.

Just like visiting someone else's house, before you go, call to inform them, and when you leave, say hello before leaving. This is just basic etiquette that all kindergartens should learn.

But Li Mengxi just lacks some etiquette cultivation. This is a problem that has been caused by various reasons in his previous life.

Fortunately, after resurrecting his life, with Liu Bei, a man who is worldly and sophisticated, who is willing to teach him, Li Mengxi's shortcomings in worldly ethics and etiquette will gradually be made up for.

If people are rude, they will not stand up.

Because Li Mengxi walked back halfway and came back to explain something more, this will reduce misunderstandings, and more misunderstandings will also be reduced on this small etiquette detail.

After Li Mengxi tucked his brother in, he returned to the carpenter's camp. After waiting for a long time, Lu Li still didn't come.

Li Mengxi continued to wait patiently.

At this time, Lu Li, who was busy, just immersed himself in his work and asked the carpenter who was hired to make the shelf to continue working.

I have made five or six bases. Once I made it, when I pushed the wooden frame and poked the ground with a torch, the base was broken once. Lu Li was fine, but it broke again and again. He seemed to be getting more and more courageous with each defeat, and his enthusiasm was not enough.

Reduce and continue to make the base.

Other carpenters have already made mistakes every time and are impatient.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and threw away the chisel in his hand.

"Lu Li, I said we don't care about the base. Can we do this?" the old carpenter said to Lu Li while gesturing with his hands. "Let's make the weather shield stronger and bigger. If the frame falls, it will fall on it."

On the ground, the board is knocked on the ground, and the torch cannot be touched. Do you think this force can work?"

Lu Li, who was working hard, couldn't help but stop the saw. He stood up and put the saw on his legs. Lu Li scratched his head.

"Oh." Lu Li widened his eyes and said, "This is a good idea, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Li slapped his head, a little annoyed, he didn't expect such a simple method, and he worked for a long time in vain.

The old carpenter's method is actually very simple, which is to make the weather shield twice larger. In this way, even if the shelf falls, the rain shield will be much longer than the torch. If it falls, the rain shield will hit the ground directly, and the torch will not be able to touch it.

Arrived.

The torch cannot touch the ground, so the clasp cannot be broken. There is no need to make a strong clasp, and the torch will not shrink inward, so there is no need to bother making a bamboo tube collision structure.

Originally, we had to solve two big and thorny problems. Now, we only need to solve one small problem.

Lu Li was a simple and honest man, and he had no intention of being jealous of others. From the very beginning, Lu Li was afraid that he would not be able to serve as the adjutant of the carpenter camp. Lu Li talked to Li Mengxi several times in private, introducing carpenters with better skills in the camp, and said that he would let him

It would be better for them to serve as battalion mates.

Lu Li mentioned it several times, but Li Mengxi became more determined to let Lu Li become his adjutant.

When you see others who are better than you, you don't feel jealous and you know how to give way to others. This is a virtue.

Although Lu Li didn't have great abilities, he was not jealous of talents. He was much better than Zhou Yu, the governor of Soochow.

Lu Li was busy for a long time, but nothing happened. Suddenly, a man stood up and came up with an excellent solution.

The comparison between these two highlights Lu Li's shortcomings in ability.

That's how it is in the workplace. People can't stand out too much, especially they can't be better than their leaders, especially they can't bring out the incompetence of their leaders, otherwise they will be targeted everywhere.

Fortunately, as the leader, Lu Li was simple-minded and others came up with excellent solutions. Lu Li was very happy.

It took a while for Lu Li and the carpenters to finish the wooden frame. Compared with the previous one, the difference between the new torch frame and the previous one was that the weatherproof board was several times larger.

Then, plug the torch in and plug it in, use a wooden wedge to insert the clasp to tighten the torch, lift the shelf, push it down, and bang!

This time, the torch did not poke into the ground and the base of the torch was not damaged.

"Yingzheng, we are ready!" Lu Li excitedly drove to Li Mengxi.

"Let's go and have a look!" Li Mengxi deliberately pretended to be impatient.

In fact, Li Mengxi was bored to death while waiting. When Lu Li came to tell him that the things were ready, Li Mengxi didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart.

But when Lu Li said the things were ready, why did he pretend to be impatient? Of course it was for the sake of hypocrisy, and it was necessary hypocrisy.

Lu Li was enthusiastic, cheerful, and a little excited, saying that the things were ready.

Then if you don't care and say casually with a blank face, "Oh, I'll wait and see."

Such a nonchalant attitude simply disrespects the fruits of other people's labor.

If Lu Li, who is full of enthusiasm, sees Li Mengxi expressionless and has no reaction, Lu Li will be as if a basin of cold water has been poured on him, and his enthusiasm will be extinguished.

So no matter how stupid and honest Lu Li is, he will still feel that he works so hard that the military advisor doesn't even want to look at him. Working so hard is so stupid.

As a result, people who are as honest as Lu Li also start to waste their efforts, while smarter people even cut corners.

Li Mengxi had no emotion at all, and pretended to be very impatient. This was very hypocritical, and Li Mengxi didn't even know it.

When did Li Mengxi become such a hypocritical person? Maybe he has been hanging out with Liu Bei for a long time and learned from Liu Bei.

Lu Li came to tell him that the shelf was ready, and Li Mengxi hurriedly pretended to be impatient to see it. Lu Li would have a feeling that the fruits of his labor were respected.

Is this useful? Very useful.

Not to mention making a wooden frame, when he led troops to fight in the future, Li Mengxi repelled the enemy troops attacking the city. Then, the reinforcements arrived late due to various objective reasons that were not the fault of the reinforcement generals.

At this time, Li Mengxi was already very tired, right? It didn't really matter whether the reinforcements came or not, right?

However, he, Li Mengxi, pretended to be excited that he had finally waited for your reinforcements and finally had you here.

Li Mengxi pretended to be overjoyed and said, "Fortunately you are here. Our army has just driven back the enemy. After a hard battle, the soldiers are exhausted. Fortunately, the reinforcements have come, which really relieves my urgent need. I am afraid that the enemy will take advantage of it."

If I'm not prepared, I'll come back again, so I'll have to rely more on you to defend the city!"

Li Mengxi's hypocritical words made the belated reinforcement general Li Mengxi, who was in agitated mood, promise that the city would be handed over to them. If the enemy army dared to come again, they would never come back.

Therefore, the reinforcement generals felt that it was meaningful to work tirelessly to support them.

But in fact, there is still an enemy with a hammer. The enemy's head was bruised and bloody when they hit the city wall, and their troops were destroyed. If the enemy did not retreat, Li Mengxi would lead his troops to fight back.

Because hypocrisy can make interpersonal relationships more harmonious, all armies can fight together.
