Chapter 109: Professional things are done professionally

The proprietors of the Yellow River Boat Company ushered in the New Year under such circumstances, and they did not dare to tell the people below about it, for fear that if the people below had no morale.

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Zhong did not think like before, let his family live with the local people, mainly because there were two pregnant people in the family, in case something happened, it was too late to regret it, Zhang went out at night and went around, even if it was fun with the people.

This year, he didn't go so far to find people who were not living well to condole, in fact, he didn't need to come to condole, those people were basically the same, and the only place worth going to was the nursing home.

The old man and the old lady inside are not bad, the usual nutrition keeps up, there has always been a doctor here at home, and there is no one who has not survived this year.

There were fireworks in the sky, and the sound of firecrackers in the entire Luzhou was even connected, and every household was laughing, even these owners of the Yellow River Boat Company were in good spirits tonight, and followed the boatmen below to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Thirty years have passed, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't want to give the people such a long vacation, and usually don't start to resume work until after fifteen, so they arranged it on the sixth day of the new year.

The people didn't have any objections, they were thinking about building their homes as soon as possible, even if Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't let Zhang Zhong post notices in advance, they would come to inquire themselves.

In other places for the New Year, people who have worked hard for a year want to take a good rest, the people of Luzhou do not have such thoughts, they feel that work is the most happy thing for them, mainly because of this kind of labor together, you can chat a few days while doing things.

This is more lively than before, and people who are used to chatting will feel very uncomfortable if there is no one to talk to.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan really shifted the focus of the people's work, asked them to repair the dock on the other side of the wharf as much as possible, and some wood needed for shipbuilding, and also asked them to go to the mountains to get it.

Li Xun didn't go back for the New Year this year, plus the old man Bi's family and the old man Zhang, they all spent the New Year with the Zhang and Wang families, don't look at Li Xun has grown up a lot, he is a person who should be responsible, but he is still like a little baby, he likes to make incense, and throw firecrackers around with his hands there.

After the fifth day of the new year, he also has something to do, the construction on the mountain is still a lot worse, it may be easier to change to flat land, the terrain in the mountain is complicated, there are all kinds of mosquitoes and beasts, beasts can be handed over to the guards to deal with, insects or anything is not a good way.

It's still spring, that is, winter, and the weather hasn't warmed up yet, but of course, it's warmer than other northern places.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan now put the place where they exercise on the dock every day, Li Xun also followed behind the two of them after arranging the things in the mountain, and he also followed when the two of them did some movements, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would not make any out-of-the-ordinary actions outside, that is, running, leg pressing and doing *** or something, Li Xun followed.

Wang Juan's two puppies have grown up a lot, and as soon as Wang Juan goes out, they will run behind them, looking very excited.

"Xiaobao, you two wait for me, I really can't run, this sandbag doesn't sink much when I pick it up, why can't I stand it when I run for a while tied to my body?"

On the morning of the eighth day of the new year, Li Xun saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan tied a three-pound sandbag to each person, thinking about his age, he ended up with a six-pound one, and his whole body added up to six catties.

Regret is regret, he feels that he has to stand up, after all, it is the weight he himself asks, if he takes it off now, it is easy to make others laugh, seeing Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan running farther and farther, he had to call the two of them to wait.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan each put half a catty of sandbags on their legs, and the other two catties were put on their bodies, and the two of them adjusted their breathing, and ran around a garden on this side of the pier, the garden was about a thousand meters, and now the two of them ran half a lap, and they were not very tired at all.

Hearing Li Xun shouting from behind, the two of them didn't have the slightest intention of stopping and waiting, who made Li Xun so stupid, with a three-pound sandbag tied to one leg, not to mention that he is not a real adult now, even ordinary adults can't stand this weight.

The two of them didn't want to change their rhythm because of Li Xun, in that case it would be very uncomfortable, the expression on their faces was very relaxed, and they kept the frequency and pace unchanged in the counterclockwise direction, and continued to run.

Li Xun saw that the two people ignored him, so he had to run again, but after chasing for a while, it really didn't work, as if he wanted to find a reason for himself to give up the sandbag, Li Xun shouted to the two people who couldn't see the figure anymore: "Oh, the sandbag on my left leg is grinding too much, I'll take it down first." ”

After shouting, he also knew that people would not pay attention to him, so he removed the sandbag with three catties of sand on his left leg, moved his left leg, and it was much more comfortable, and then continued to run, and after running for a while, he shouted again: "Oh, my right leg is also grinding, I'll make one tomorrow, this is really bad." ”

As he spoke, he took off the sandbag on his right leg again, which was not a Shen relationship, but one leg was light and the other was heavy, and it was even more uncomfortable to run.

When he took off the sandbag on his right leg and was about to chase the two people in front of him, he found that he didn't have to chase anymore, so he could continue to run along, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already come around from behind him.

"You two, let you wait for me, you don't wait, but I'm tired, tomorrow I'm going to put these sandbags on my body, just like you two."

Li Xun ran next to Zhang Xiaobao, and did not forget to complain to the two of them, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan still did not make a sound, and their eyes looked no longer bright, this is the result of relaxation.

Li Xun said a few words by himself, and when he saw that people didn't care about him, he muttered again: "You don't have to be so serious, right?" It's just a play, why make it so serious, hey, I've taken you two well, and I'm adjusting my breathing. ”

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ran four laps before stopping, and began to press their legs next to a flower bed, Li Xun followed and ran a little more than three laps, and was tired, mainly because he had worn a sandbag to consume too much physical strength before, otherwise, with his usual exercise, he would not be so tired.

ran to Zhang Xiaobao's side, and also pressed his legs on the ground, and at the same time did not forget to speak.

"Xiaobao, you said that you don't need to connect the two rivers to the place in the mountains and repair them well, and the rivers in there should also be connected, right? Especially the waterfalls, fortunately, there is not much for the people to do now. ”

"Why is there nothing to do? Don't connect the river below the waterfall, it will really be a lot less good scenery, the mouth of the place can be repaired, you can arrange this, no need to transfer the people in other places to pass, waiting for the construction here is almost over, when the speed of the boat is faster, my family will find a way to find you some tourists. ”

Zhang Xiaobao finally spoke at this time, and the matter of tourists here was also thought about, that is, to wait in the capital, once there is a imperial examination, those who have not been admitted can be brought here to travel, and those who have money will naturally enjoy better treatment.

If you don't have money, don't worry, you can get some work here and let them help along the way, such as writing some travelogues, painting some scenery, and so on.

This is not necessarily to make a lot of money, the main thing is to train people in the Tang Dynasty, let those who can't pass the exam relax, and at the same time increase some knowledge, the books of this era are not so rich, and there are not many experience books.

Li Xun also knew Zhang Xiaobao's plan, to be precise, the Zhang family's plan, he had always thought so, listened to Zhang Xiaobao's words, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll find a way to speed it up, I think the tools used at Xiaoluoshui Wharf in Sanshui County are very good, is it possible for people to make some iron chains out of iron things, so that they can work faster." ”

Li Xun is talking about the wharf and other tools for freight, the wharf is larger, but the speed of work is much faster than before, he wants to get more tools like that.

When Zhang Xiaobao heard this, he turned his head to look at Wang Juan, Wang Juan's eyes also lit up, and said: "Yes, this idea is good, yes, get some good steel, let good craftsmen make more tools, those machine tools are not perfect yet, but there should be no problem with the handmade tool making point." ”

Wang Juan suddenly thought of his usual life, some of the tools here are really not comprehensive enough, and she and Zhang Xiaobao were not like this at that time, large-scale production may be laborious, there are not such good materials, but there is no problem for the people around them to use it.

The most important thing is that after the manual tool is made, it can be slowly modified little by little until it is perfected, and it can also assist the machine tool, which may take a long, long time, but it is better to do it than not to do it.

"I know you will have a way, then I will wait, the steel thing has to be done slowly, this is not the capital, many things are not easy to find."

Li Xun saw that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan agreed, even if he was relieved, he waited for the masters of the Zhang family to get some good things out, and when the time came, not only could they be used here, but they could also send some to the Ministry of Industry.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that Li Xun was now keen on this matter, and suddenly had a better idea, Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao said to Li Xun: "Actually, I think that the people who do things now, although they have been doing it all the time, are not professional enough, such as building a house, usually a craftsman can do any work."

This kind of ability is not small, but there are fewer and more people available, there should be someone in charge of a certain thing, such as the person who repairs the road is in charge of the road, as long as he knows how to build the road, how to drain the water, and the person who builds the house is the same, everyone is responsible for one aspect.

If Li Gongzi can find more people, it is better to try to do this, see if there is any benefit, and set up a construction company to undertake those construction tasks, find skilled people to bring at the beginning, and in the end you can form a team.

Not only can they work for themselves, but they can also earn money by working for others, improve some tools in the process of work, and at critical times, if there is a need to fight, these individuals can also help build some defensive fortifications. ”

Li Xun is now able to understand many novel words, and he also understands what the company means, similar to the group, hearing Zhang Xiaobao's proposal, he patted his head with his hand and said:

"Yes, I have always had such a vague idea, but I can't say it specifically, now it's clear that this is the original meaning, yes, yes, yes, the company, to open a company, a construction company, when the time comes, I will take on some jobs to do, and when I don't have a job, I can repair things for myself, and I can go over to build a defense when I fight.

Good way, I'll recruit people when I go back in a while, and give better treatment, I'm going to recruit 3,000 people first, and then I'll continue to make more moves when these 3,000 people are practiced, then your tools can be made in time, and there is cement or something, I'll let them use this to practice.

Naturally, the matter of repairing the defense cannot be done with some mud and grass like the previous house, let alone made of wood and bamboo like the usual house, just use cement, hurry up and do it, and I will go back to recruit people when I finish it. ”

The more Li Xun spoke, the more excited he became, and began to urge Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to come.

As soon as Zhang Xiaobao heard that Li Xun wanted to recruit people, he hurriedly vetoed: "No, you are not allowed to recruit people here, you will be recruited by all the people in total, and you will not be able to do things here, and the idea of the mainland state is not allowed, you go elsewhere to find a way." ”

"Oh, Luzhou can't do it? Also, the people here will actually help the Chamber of Commerce to do things in the future, and if there are really 3,000 fewer people, then it will make a lot less money, okay, elsewhere, I want to find a way, it would be good if it was in the capital. ”

When Li Xun heard what Zhang Xiaobao said, he scratched his head and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with a smile.

Zhang Xiaobao saw that Li Xun had changed his words, so he was relieved, he didn't want to get the people here to go elsewhere, of course the construction company had to go back and forth with the job he received, what if he picked up a distant one?

The three of them exercised here for a while, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan began to watch the progress of each project here, and Li Xun went back to arrange the establishment of the company.

Waiting for Li Xun to leave, Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao with some concern: "Xiaobao, you said that you set up such a professional construction company, will they think of cutting corners after their technology comes up?" And then make a whole bunch of tofu scum projects? I'm afraid they don't put wire in cement or anything, they put bamboo or wood. ”

"The better the technology, the better the things that should be made, the people here don't seem to have learned that kind of ability, of course, the things that cut corners have to be learned, not to be used to build houses for the people or any officials, but to make fake fortifications, real and fake, real and fake, can be used when the real war is used.

And we can send people to watch, especially people with good skills, who will become supervisors in the future, who dares to cut corners when building roads or bridges and houses, then try to clean up, the era of power is this good, and now there is no real estate to speculate.

I estimate that there will be people who will learn from Li Xun to come up with some construction teams, but don't worry, the cement is in our hands, how big a house to build, what kind of bridges and roads to build, if they want to buy cement, they need to apply, and then we will send someone to the field to calculate, how much is how much, and someone monitors, as long as any person violates the regulations, then stop supplying cement. ”

Zhang Xiaobao is really not too worried about this matter, now the people here will not be so slippery, at least some people will not, as for the repair of river embankments and seawalls corruption, such as using soft soil instead of stones, this thing may be done by some officials.

"That's good, I guess if it's a non-governmental organization, if they really cut corners when repairing things, it will not only be as simple as stopping the supply of cement if they are found out, but they are likely to be held accountable by the government, I am afraid that some families, they are officials themselves, so they will take risks in order to seek enough benefits for themselves."

Wang Juan was still a little worried, in the face of interests, it was not something that morality could restrict, and after thinking about it, he continued: "I should also pay attention to whether such a company will deliberately take on some projects, or fake projects, in order to make more money, and then deceive cement to sell to surrounding countries."

At that time, if it is a non-governmental organization, people only need to break up, and after a few days, another person will set up a company, as long as they buy cement, people will not care whether the supply is stopped. ”

"That's right, this is also a problem, then you can't easily sell things to them, and even if you sell them, you have to let people follow them, little by little, only the original cement is almost used, and the new cement can be given to them, otherwise don't expect more cement to provide."

When Zhang Xiaobao heard this, he became serious, this problem must be guarded against, it is easy for some surrounding countries to come up with some conspiracies when they know about cement, it is very simple, it is just a shell company, he has often done it before.

"Then it's decided, if you really find out which one is specifically for cement to sell to the outside, do you have any good way?" Wang Juan then asked again.
