Chapter 505: National Mobilization and Transportation (2)
Fifty members of the Jia family sat around for breakfast, and Jia Chongwen, who was the captain of the team, received the task of transporting cement, and he asked for five large board cars from the dock management office, which were used on the construction site, and were the expansion plates of the wheelbarrow invented by Pan Zide, the kind of board car with two wheels.
People began to get busy on the wharf, the wharf that had just been built, docked a 10,000-ton freighter, the dock workers were nervously unloading, bags of cement were unloaded from the 10,000-ton ship, and were stacked in the open-air warehouse at Pier 3, and the Jia family pushed five large board trucks and parked next to the cement warehouse.
This family of 50 people has strong labor, and they rush up to move cement one by one without greeting, and they have to rely on their fathers and sons to go into battle, and they have to rely on their own brothers to fight.
They automatically divided into groups of ten, pushing and pulling, and the five large board cars came out of the gate of Pier 3 in this way.
Outside the gate, after the deputy director went through the inspection procedures for them, the five large board trucks in charge of the Jia family were integrated into the ranks of the mighty transportation army.
From Xinxiang Wharf to Xinxiang City, there is a wide cement road to connect, a total length of seven miles, this cement road can drive six carriages side by side, that is to say, there are six lanes, these six lanes are divided into fast lanes, slow lanes and sidewalks.
The five big carts of the Jia family take the slow lane, the fast lane is only for horse-drawn carriages, and the people walking on the sidewalk are all transporters carrying them hand and shoulder.
Because everyone is moving in the same direction, although the whole road is full of people and cars, it does not seem crowded.
No one spoke along the way, the Jia family pushed the big board car in groups of ten, and they pushed the big board car fast, not fast, because the speed of the board car in the entire slow lane was basically like this, and everyone was desperately refueling.
This is all out of everyone's conscious voluntariness, so everyone is full of energy.
After walking to the city gate, the speed slowed down, because the city gate was like a bottleneck, narrowing the road, but fortunately there was no obstruction at the city gate, but it could only be two cars walking side by side.
Jia Chongwen led his team and waited at the gate for twenty minutes before it was their turn to enter the city.
"All set!" Jia Chongwen ordered loudly, "We must pass through the city gate as quickly as possible, and we can't delay the convoy behind to enter the city." ”
"Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, we will never hold back." There were several juniors in the queue who assured Jia Chongwen one after another.
"Okay, it's our turn, everyone is ready, at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, go!"
Jia Chongwen pulled the first big board car in the front, fortunately, there was no slope on the road into the city, the whole road was all horizontal pavement, the wheels were rolling, they only took ten minutes to pass the entire narrow road, as soon as they entered the city, they saw many transport convoys crowded together.
Jia Chongwen found an open gravel field on the side of the road, and he pulled the car to this open place.
"Let's rest here for a while and wait for the traffic in front of us to be less before we leave."
"Fifth uncle, I don't think it's useful to wait, there is an endless stream of cars entering the city from behind, when will it be our turn? Let's squeeze forward, we're not afraid of getting tired. ”
Jia Chongwen looked up and saw that it was his third brother's second son who spoke.
"What about everyone's opinion? Do you want to rest or keep going? ”
Everyone said that they were in a hurry, so the cement transport team embarked on the journey again.
Their task was to transport the cement to the construction site, but fortunately, everyone was for a common goal, and there were no incidents of grabbing and pushing on the road, and they quickly arrived at their destination following the torrent of transportation.
This is a new development area, where construction is going on everywhere, and the whole area is divided into many blocks by a large road, but fortunately, there are people on site who are responsible for receiving all kinds of building materials.
Jia Chongwen and the person in charge of receiving the goods carried out the inspection procedures, and then after the person in charge pointed out the route, they transported the cement to the designated location one by one, and moved the cement down one by one, stacked it neatly, and then returned to the dock to rush the second batch.
In this way, Jia Chongwen's family transported cement back and forth six times in one day, and delivered it to the construction site for five days in a row. In the days that followed, they also transported steel to the construction site, machinery to the factory, and rice to the grain depot, and even for the New Year.
It was not until this day, January 13, 1659, that the transport work stopped.
Because on this day, the sky began to rain, and the whole transportation work was forced to stop.
On the battleship "Jinling No. 1," Marven was reporting to Gao Junshan on the rush to transport goods in the past 20 days.
"Father, fortunately, God favored us and gave us more than 20 days, and after more than 20 days of rush transportation, we emptied the cargo on three 10,000-ton freighters."
Gao Junshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So we don't have to spend the winter on the ship, with enough building materials, when can we move ashore to live?" ”
"A month, a month at most." Marven said affirmatively.
……
Jia Chongwen took their fifty family members to complete the transportation task excellently and returned to Jiajiazhuang, they lived up to Jia Zhengmao's expectations, and brought back five certificates this time, one transportation pacesetter award, one collective second prize, two individual second prizes, and one most disciplined award.
Jia Zhengmao saw the five certificates of merit in his heart, although these certificates are only spiritual, he is already very happy, since they came to the Americas, although the conditions are very difficult, but the country has never treated their family badly, food, clothing, and the country is all covered, the country has promised them, as long as the crops have not been harvested, all the expenses of their family are provided by the state for free.
The more this situation is, the higher the ideological consciousness of everyone, and the whole family thinks that they cannot take advantage of the country in this way, and they are even ashamed that they cannot contribute to the country.
Because of the rainy day, the Jia family couldn't go to open up the wasteland, so they could only work at home in vain and wait for the weather to improve.
As time passed, the weather became worse and worse, at first it rained, then it snowed heavily, and Xizhou entered a slow winter.
I don't know how many days it has snowed, and the snow in the Jia family's compound is already waist-deep. The snow finally stopped that day, and the people in the three courtyards were boiling, especially the children, who were as happy as if it was the New Year.
Jia Zhengmao gathered the three families to clear the snow and clear the road, and if the weather continued to improve, he was ready to send someone into Chengli to pull a cart of grain back.
