Hong Yanwu's last idea completely dispelled everyone's doubts.

Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin immediately made a decision, and decided to hand over this matter to Hong Yanwu. Because he knew that the rent would not be in place for a while, he also spent 2,000 yuan for Hong Yanwu in advance.

In this regard, Hong Yanzheng did not object, but said that there was something that needed help for Hong Yanwu to speak. He also really felt that it was better than himself to leave it to his brother to do this.

And not only that, Wang Yunlin also entrusted Hong Yanwu with one thing. said that his uncle Yuntai also had the deed in his hand, and wanted him to help ask about the Yan family's old house and the "half-acre garden" of the Liangguo Factory.

Now that his mother has opened his mouth, of course Hong Yanwu will not shirk it. Besides, it is incumbent on him to help his uncle's family. For this matter, he patted his chest.

It's just that I didn't expect that I just got a very bad news after listening to it, and the "half-acre garden" was actually occupied by the troops.

This kind of situation is not as good as the government or the unit occupying a house, it is another line, and the people not only can't talk to others at all, but they can't even find anyone to talk to about it. 、

The only feasible way is to ask Yang Weifan to inquire first, and then think about it in the long run.

After two days like this, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan moved into the old house first.

They lived in the second courtyard. This is to be able to watch the fire in the house. Second, it is also convenient to transform the water circuit, and someone can support it. Third, I have to move the things in the courtyard of the flower hall first.

To make it clear, it's not that Hong Yanwu is in a hurry to find out how many good things there are at home, mainly because the house can't be repaired if it is not vacated.

If you want to say that now is really the time to do these things, the current day, the temperature is not low, the frozen soil has melted, and it is the time to break ground.

Besides, it is also close to their work unit, and it is a five-minute walk to "Tianxingju", which is very convenient.

So after Hong Yanwu separately invited the leaders of the water company and the power company to give some gifts. As soon as the application is submitted, the waterway and circuit engineering is put on the agenda first.

To tell the truth, Hong Yanwu's real disturbance was far greater than the family imagined.

On the waterway, he not only wants to cancel the waterway that was unreasonable in the past. It is also necessary to have a running water pipe that can be opened and closed freely in every yard.

Not only did the whole yard have to be cut out of the pipes, but a well had to be built in the corner of the garden to house the water meter and the main switch of the waterway.

The same is true for circuits. Considering the advent of the era of electrical appliances in the future, Hong Yanwu not only asked to change the wires to copper wires. I also want to get a low-voltage distribution cabinet to facilitate the control of the circuits in each courtyard.

The most expensive in this era are industrial materials. Anyway, the material cost calculated by the two projects alone is probably more than 5,000 yuan. Of course, Hong Yanwu took the extra money by himself.

So the Hong family was crowded, and bundles of copper wires and tons of cast pipes were transported to the courtyard. Ten construction workers from the water company came, and the power company also sent a master. Every day they go out and go in the old house of the Hong family, setting up ladders and digging ditches, which is very lively.

It's just this mess, and it's really enough to put aside ordinary people's homes, because you just make tea and pour water for people every day, and entertain meals. It's enough to worry about.

But Hong Yanwu didn't suffer this crime. He thinks very clearly, he can't stand favors and energy, don't save money if you want to save worry, simply, let's talk with money.

His solution was to invite the workers to go down to the restaurant together on the first day of construction, and each of them gave two "big front doors".

At the banquet, he also said very sincerely. said that there are few people in his family, and he will definitely not be able to take care of the masters in his daily life. This point, please master Duo Haihan. But for your hard work, he will express his gratitude afterwards.

As long as everyone does a good job and the quality is fine. He is willing to give everyone two "peonies" per person on the day of completion, plus 50 yuan per person for hard work, so don't dislike or be polite. As for the construction period, I hope that everyone will be more responsible and helpful.

Hong Yanwu said politely, the wine and food are very important, and the twenty-six cigarettes are also poked in front of him. Everyone can see that this is not deliberate neglect, it can be said that it is necessary to have face and have a lining.

Although the promise is still false now, it is enough for these workers to trust these workers by carrying out such a large project.

So everyone didn't doubt him, and after eating this "starting meal", they threw off their arms and started working.

If you want to talk about Hong Yanwu's method, Gao Ming is smart on two points.

First, it will never be cut and shrunk, which has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the workers. The second is that he only pursues the final result, and does not give anyone the opportunity to make a profit by grinding foreign workers. In this way, the efficiency is naturally high.

Take the electrician, for example, it could have been slow for a week. This time three times five divided by two, and the work was handed over in three days.

Hong Yanwu really didn't break his promise, not only gave money and cigarettes on the spot, but also took advantage of this incident to entertain everyone for a meal.

This not only won the praise of the electricians, but also amounted to a stimulant injection to the workers of the water company with the facts.

Under the stimulation of this personal witness, in the next five days, even the waterway was paved. To be able to achieve this kind of efficiency and quality is an absolute miracle in this era.

It's just that after finishing the work, the people in the water company are really tired enough, and when they eat a casual meal, they can't help but complain to Hong Yanwu.

They said, "Young man, you are really unjust, we have never done such a fast and tiring work, and we can guarantee that the quality of your work has caught up with the district government building." But we are all tired, and we have to rest for at least half a month to ease up. ”

Of course, Hong Yanwu knew what it was like to dig earth, so he laughed, said his hard work, and toasted a glass of wine. Each of them added another twenty dollars. This time the resentment subsided, and everyone was still happy.

To follow the steps, as soon as the water circuit is finished, it is time to officially repair the house. But this matter is put aside, Hong Yanwu has a bit of a headache.

It's not for anything else, just because I haven't found anyone who knows how to do it.

During the renovation of the water circuit, Hong Yanwu asked several housing management offices in the district, and without exception, all the work was done by the public, and only knew how to build row houses. Not to mention the "eight big cabinets" in the past, even the people in the "four small cabinets" didn't find one.

(Note: The imperial court buildings of the Qing Dynasty were expanded and renovated on the basis of the Ming Dynasty.) The royal large-scale works were supervised by the Minister of the Interior, and then transferred by the Ministry of Industry to 12 carpentry mills in the capital at that time. These twelve mills are known as the "Eight Large Cabinets" and the "Four Small Cabinets". The "eight cabinets" are: Xinglong, Guangfeng, Binxing, Deli, East Tianhe, West Tianhe, Juyuan, Dexiang. The "four small cabinets" are: Yihe, Xianghe, Dongsheng, and Shengxiang. ）

Fortunately, he still has the eldest brother Hong Yanzheng, and in the end, thanks to Hong Yanzheng's master, this problem was solved.

As mentioned in the previous biography "Chapter 147 No Reliance", Hong Yanzheng's master Wang Hanping studied under "Long Shuncheng" and was the only seventh-level carpenter in the "Red Star Furniture Factory" who took seventy-nine yuan four. At the moment, there are not many craftsmen as good as the old man.

Don't look at the fact that he is not a civil engineering background, but some of the delicate work of repairing partition doors, window lattices, wood carvings and furniture in the Forbidden City is inseparable from him.

Sometimes the top will send such special tasks to a skilled craftsman like him. After coming and going, he became familiar with the people in the Forbidden City. And the most contact is also engaged in ancient architecture.

Therefore, Hong Yanzheng knew about Hong Yanwu's embarrassment, and went to ask the master where to find someone to do ancient construction, and Wang Hanping came out to take the lead. The old man led Hong Yanzheng and Hong Yanwu to the "Zhishanmen Street" in the west of Jingshan and went to find a family with the surname Shan.

This time I went, not only completely solved the problem of the Hong family, but also opened Hong Yanwu's eyes and gained knowledge.

Dare to love that "Zhishanmen Street" is all lived by people from the Palace Museum. That's a gathering place for experts now. And that's not all, the living conditions of these experts back then were really sad.

Take Mr. Shan Yunsheng, who Hong Yanwu and the others visited, who was a researcher who had just retired from the Forbidden City. He was born in history, and in the thirties, he was compiled in the literature group of the "Construction Society" run by Zhu Qiming. It can be said that he is the earliest professional ancient construction talent.

And because Mr. Shan is very interested in Western architecture and ancient French architecture, he often consulted with Liang Sicheng, the leader of the French team, and learned a lot when he was in the "Construction Society". can be regarded as a student of Liang Sicheng.

Even when the Republic celebrated the tenth anniversary, he was recommended by Liang Sicheng to the leaders of the Cultural Relics Bureau and asked him to be in charge of repairing the Taihe Palace.

is such a person, and he actually took thirty-five yuan for his retirement fee. A family of five is crammed into two gatehouses in a courtyard. Even his daughter went to work as an educated youth for several years, and only after returning to the city, she only found a job as a bricklayer in the construction team of the Forbidden City.

To be honest, in fact, Mr. Shan's ability is not known, Hong Yanwu doesn't know. But with this visit, he was able to fully trust Mr. Shan.

Because even in such a living environment, a single family almost has a room full of books.

And after Mr. Shan knew their intentions, he not only resolutely rejected the gift, but also said it directly without going around the bush.

"You have to take a look at your house first, if the house is worthless, you can ask another master, and I will help you if it is valuable to do repairs." If it's really possible, I have another requirement, the construction must be done in accordance with the rules. So you'll have to tell me the approximate cost range, and then I'll tell you if you can do it. This is because I have the final say on the materials and construction, and I can't save money where I can't save money. You can't rush the time. Because there are not many people who can do this work now, I definitely don't need those who can't be used, and I can find as many people as I want. How?"

What else is there to say about this, don't say that this statement is exactly what you want. Hong Yanwu also saw in this Mr. Shan, the dignified and upright literati bones. This is a human nature that is very different from that "Fang Luoban" Director Wei.

Sure enough, after Mr. Shan looked at the house, he heard Hong Yanwu offer a price of 10,000 yuan and agreed to the matter. The advance account he calculated on his behalf was actually far lower than Hong Yanwu's estimate, and it was only 8,000 yuan even if the east cross courtyard was flipped together.

And the accounts are clear. Bricks, tiles, ash, sand, stone, wood, lacquer, artificial, one stroke is a sum, and the unit price and freight are all meticulous. There was not even a list of Mr. Shan's own remuneration, and he even wanted to help in vain.

Of course, depending on the situation, it is possible to increase the budget a little more, and it is already certain that it can be controlled within 10,000 yuan.

The youngest of the twelve old craftsmen is also in their forties, and all of them are descendants of the "Eight Great Cabinets", and only six young men are here to work as laborers.

And from the mouths of those old craftsmen, Hong Yanwu further understood Mr. Shan's personality. not only knew that he had a nickname called "sesame sauce", but also knew the real reason why he was not allowed to smoke in the Forbidden City, and he was so miserable.

Mr. Dare Qing Shan pays special attention to craftsmanship in ancient construction, and he does not look down on craftsmen and technicians like other experts, but soaks together with specific construction personnel every day. So he is very serious about these things.

Like him, he knows that mixing cement and sand should be like slowly holding water, so that it can be used well.

And some workers are lazy and don't stir up, and as soon as they put the water pipe there, they play and smoke, and the result is that they can't melt and condense.

Mr. Shan would lose his temper once he encountered such a situation. I have to tell people that mixing cement is like "mixing sesame paste", and I always want to correct their mistakes, so I have such a nickname.

As for why his salary has not been improved, and he is a researcher who retired at the lowest level, it has to be said in 1962.

At that time, due to "natural disasters", there was no food to eat in the whole country. In those two years, institutions were being streamlined everywhere, and the Forbidden City was no exception, and the leaders wanted to dismiss all the craftsmen hired from outside, saying that they would not have succeeded.

Mr. Shan quit after knowing about it, and he communicated with the leader several times but couldn't get through, so he made a report to the above, claiming that the skills of these craftsmen are the real treasures, and he hopes to leave these old craftsmen behind. Even if it is really difficult to stay, you have to record them and pass on their skills before these people can go.

The report went up, and the Cultural Relics Bureau approved it, but the leaders of the Forbidden City were angry. Agreeing is agreeing, but in terms of funds, he deliberately takes a hand, and the money can't be allocated. Anyway, if you mess around, you will delay the matter. This report is the same as not fighting, the craftsmen all left with regrets, and Mr. Shan's idea was not realized at all.

And after that, Mr. Shan was completely unlucky. The hard work was left to him. But there is no hope of promotion again.

What else can Hong Yanwu say to such a person?

Absolutely capable, but it is precisely because he delves too much into academics that he does not understand the world. In fact, our country does not know how many such valuable talents, but if there is no good leader who can know how to make good use of people, not only will he not be able to give full play to his own value, but the end will inevitably be a "miserable" word.

Bureaucratic style is really a dead man!

Hong Yanwu is not only sorry for Mr. Shan's experience, but also feels sincerely lucky that he can invite a real expert.
