Chapter 228: In front of the logistics department

July 23 of the first year of Qiande (963 AD)

Through everyone's unremitting efforts, more than 3,000 displaced people were finally settled. Immediately, the brothers assigned the displaced people to various departments and began to work.

A new round of construction boom has been set off on Qishan Island, and many new projects have been launched due to the abundance of human resources.

Wei Hongye took more than 500 people with him, and his kiln and ironmaking workshop immediately burst out with a lot of production capacity. The output of cement, red bricks and pig iron has gradually increased, providing raw materials for large-scale construction.

An Dalang and Boris went to Daishan West Island with a thousand men, and they wanted to develop more salt pans as soon as possible, and make up for the losses caused by the storms and pirates.

Du Dalei went to sea with two warships, and he wanted to catch a few big whales and provide raw materials for each workshop as soon as possible. Cao Deshun said that whale products are very popular in Jinling, and every time they are shipped, they are snapped up. He asked Seven Seas to provide him with these goods as soon as possible, and everyone could make a huge profit.

According to Cao Deshun, leather bags made of whale skin, leather boots and other leather products are very popular among women in Jinling City, and they are sold at a sky-high price of 100 times the profit.

There are also perfumes and toilet waters, which are very popular with women in the hot summer and sell at extremely high prices. The lamp oil and candles are very popular with the major temples, and the monks are very fond of these odorless products, so they placed a huge number of orders for Cao Deshun.

The sales of sea salt are also very good, and it has been bought out. So Cao Deshun was very anxious, this time he and Wang Mingjun came to Qushan Island to urge the goods.

As a result, all departments at Seven Seas were working at full speed to produce all kinds of goods, and everyone was so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

Zhao Zizhong took Fan Jinchun and Zhai Xiaoshan to select more than 500 rookies among the displaced people, and expanded the escort team to 1,500 people. And then they began to abuse them.

He also set up a special team, which was full of naughty and mischievous big children in the school, with Hu Yidao as the captain and Cheng Sangou as the vice captain. There are a total of twenty-seven children, plus two unlucky eggs, Liang Jiaming and Liang Jiakai.

Zhao Zizhong asked the team to train with the rookies to hone their willpower. The children gritted their teeth and persevered, and no one complained. But the two playboys can't stand it, they always drag the children back, and they can't complete the task every time.

Zhai Xiaoshan punished these two living treasures every day and often didn't give them food. They were also to be physically punished and made to run in circles around the camp of the convoys. Every time, a large number of cattle gathered around to watch the two brothers, and everyone kept taunting and abusing them, which made the two brothers ashamed, and sometimes even had suicidal thoughts. But after all, the two of them are still greedy for life and afraid of death, and they have not put it into practice.

This kind of corporal punishment was once seen by Zhao Zizhong, who stopped the behavior of the guards, and then let the two living treasures go back to rest.

Liang Jiaming and Liang Jiakai hugged Zhao Zizhong and cried, saying that they would not let go of anything.

Zhao Zizhong said something badly, so he quieted down the two brothers and persuaded them to go back to rest.

Zhao Zizhong found Zhai Xiaoshan and Fan Jinchun and said to them: "You guys have gone a little too far, these two brothers have enjoyed all the glory and wealth since they were children. You torture and abuse them like this, what if they can't think about it for a while, and something happens? How do we explain to Liang Daguan? Have you all thought about any of this? ”

Fan Jinchun and Zhai Xiaoshan both felt ashamed, and they assured Zhao Zizhong that they would never abuse or humiliate the two brothers again in the future. Give them only the right amount of physical training to make them strong.

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically, gave a few more instructions, and went back to the camp.

On the way, he met Cao Yongxian and several scholars. They were covered in mud and white ash, their faces were tanned, and they didn't look like the pampered sons of the past.

Zhao Zizhong asked, "Xiao Cao, how did you get like this?" ”

"Mr. Zhao, we went to the construction site of the academy and did some work with the workers. None of us had done any of this work before, and this time we worked for a long time, and we all felt a little unbearable. It seems that we are really powerless scholars! In the future, we must insist on exercising ourselves, and we can't be full for nothing! ”

Zhao Zizhong was very pleased, it seems that several scholars have grown up very quickly, and they are no longer the sons and daughters who were not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains when they first came to the island.

He smiled and said: "You are all good, if you persist, your body will be much stronger in a few months, and you will no longer be a weak scholar, haha!" ”

Several scholars were very happy, and they chatted with Zhao Zi for a while, and then went back to take a bath.

Halfway through, he thought of a question, that is, whether the supply of logistical materials could meet the needs of these seven or eight thousand people. He wanted to go to Cui Zhaorong to ask about the specific situation, so he turned a corner and walked towards the company's office.

He came to the outside of a row of offices and found that the other offices were deserted, except for the front door of the logistics department, which was crowded with people, which seemed very lively.

When the people who came to the logistics department saw Zhao Zizhong, they all greeted him with a smile. Zhao Zizhong chatted with everyone and asked what they were all doing.

A middle-aged man in his forties said: "Mr. Zhao, we all came to the logistics department to apply for supplies, and everyone was queuing, waiting for Minister Cui Zhaorong and Cui Da to give us approval." ”

Everyone talked about it, and they all said that it was too inconvenient to do things and that the waiting time was too long. But everyone understands Cui Zhaorong's difficulties, it is indeed too difficult for him to manage the food, drink, and Lazar of seven or eight thousand people on Qushan Island alone, as well as production and living materials.

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically and said to everyone: "If you have any good suggestions, you can put them forward, and our company's senior management will discuss them as soon as possible to solve the problem of being too slow." ”

A woman squeezed into the crowd and said to Zhao Zizhong: "Mr. Zhao, I am Zheng Sanniang, the person in charge of the supermarket, and I suggest adding more manpower to the logistics department." They only have two bookkeepers and four clerks, and Minister Cui Zhaorong is indeed too busy, he can't fully manage the affairs of the logistics department, after all, he is also the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries. ”

Everyone agreed, and a young man said: "Minister Choi Zhaorong is really not easy, he is busy from morning to night every day, and sometimes he has to work overtime until late at night." He used to have a lot of fat, but now he has lost a lot of fat. ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and someone said, "Yang Erniu, your mouth is too damaged, right?" Isn't it that your salt drying department wanted a batch of iron tools last time, and Cui Zhaorong didn't give it all to you, so you arranged him. ”

Yang Erniu retorted: "Old Fang, you are talking nonsense. This is not what I said, it was said by Du Dalei a few days ago. I'm just conveying the words of Director Duda. I don't have any holidays with Cui Zhaorong, what am I arranging him to do? ”

Zhao Zi patted Yang Erniu on the shoulder: "Erniu, how is your recent production?" Are there any difficulties that you need me to help you solve? ”

"Hey," Yang Erniu sighed, "Mr. Zhao, the weather is too hot, and our salt drying workers are working very hard. They work under the scorching sun every day, and many are sunburned by the intense sun. I'm just here to get a batch of straw hats, and I want to give them to the workers, so that they can cover them as much as possible. ”

Zheng Sanniang interjected: "Erniu, do you know that the perfume workshop has recently produced a new product, which is a sunscreen oil made from whale oil, which is said to have a sunscreen effect. You can ask the workers to give it a try. ”

Yang Erniu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Zheng Niangzi, is this true?" ”

Zheng Sanniang nodded: "Of course it's true, why am I idle and have nothing to do to lie to you?" You can go to a perfume workshop and ask for some sunscreen and then go back and try it. ”

At this time, someone interjected: "It is said that the products of the perfume workshop are very popular in Jinling City, and I estimate that if these sunscreens are shipped there, they will definitely sell for a lot of money." If it were for the salt-drying workers, it would be a bit of a waste. ”

Yang Erniu was a little unhappy, and he retorted: "I said this brother, I don't like to hear what you say." The workers who dry the salt are very hard, what's wrong with using some sunscreen? Didn't Mr. Wei say that we can't get into the eyes of money, everything looks at money. ”

Everyone talked about it, and some people said that it should not be used by the workers who dried the salt, so that they could hold on, and they could take the sunscreen to Jinling and sell it, and then use the money to help more displaced people. There are also people who support Yang Erniu, saying that they should be better for the salt-drying individual, after all, the vast majority of people on the island are from displaced backgrounds, and they cannot discriminate against salt-drying workers.

Zhao Zi saw that some people began to argue, so he listened to it and did not express his opinion. He was very pleased that most of these people were from displaced backgrounds, and they were all illiterate people who could not read a few words. After a period of night school, their cultural level has improved rapidly, and they also have their own unique views on things. They debated this matter endlessly and expressed their opinions one after another, which was definitely a comforting thing in Zhao Zizhong's opinion.

At this time, Cui Zhaorong's loud voice sounded: "What are you arguing about?" This is the office, shut up for me. Lao Tzu is so busy all day long that his head is dizzy, listening to you arguing like this, and not letting people live? Is it so hard that you don't want to do anything? ”

Seeing Cui Zhaorong angry, everyone quieted down, Zhao Zizhong separated the crowd, walked to the door of the office, and said to Cui Zhaorong, who was still angry: "Old Cui, you dissipate your anger, too much anger is not good for your health." ”

Cui Zhaorong was surprised: "Mr. Zhao, why are you here?" Isn't there something important? ”
