Chapter 57 Construction Director

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

When he first arrived, Chen Liang didn't want to ask for anything for a while, Mao Geng's treatment was already very generous, in addition to the monthly salary of 40 yuan, he also gave 3% of the dividend equity, judging from the exhibition momentum of the Huaxi contractor team, Chen Liang's annual income will not be less than 2,000 yuan.

There is nothing else, but Chen Liang feels that the name of "contractor team" is too earthy, and hopes to change the name. Mao Geng smiled secretly in his heart, daring to love Chen Liang is still a little unhappy with being called the general contractor foreman, that's nothing, let's change the font size.

Chen Liang felt that the word "construction" should at least be reflected in the font size, and Chen Liang cited the book "Building French Style" published in Xining as evidence, and the font size seemed to be changed to "Huaxi Construction Team". However, Mao Geng believes that the scope of "construction" is too wide, for example, the newly completed water wheel winch can also be regarded as "construction", and building a house belongs to the construction industry in later generations, and there should be at least one word "construction". In addition, if you want to change it, simply change a novel font size, Mao Geng thought to himself, the "company" in later generations is full of rotten streets, but it is the first one in the Great Song Dynasty, anyway, Chen Liang is known for his arrogance, even if he makes a novel font size, people in the world will definitely be surprised.

Thinking like this, Mao Geng threw out his name change plan:

"Brother Tongfu, I think it's better to call it 'Huaxi Construction Company', the word 'company', 'gong' is a fair 'gong', 'Si' is Si Kou, Sima's 'Si', Brother Tongfu, what do you think?"

Chen Liang patted the case and applauded:

"Good! Brother Yisheng deserves to be the brother of Yisheng, in addition to being well-informed and memorable, he can also learn and use it, it is rare to be able to think of the word "company"! The Confucian sage has the meaning of 'the public, the wealth of several people, the secretary, and the operation. Zhuangzi said, "Accumulating disadvantages is high, combining small is big, and merging is the way of the public, which is called the company." Although the foolish brother also knows these two sources of the "company", he can't think of using it as a trade name anyway. The name couldn't be better, and that's it! ”

Mao Geng couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and said in his heart, I know a fart, you Chen Liang is really well-read and strong, and suddenly turned out two authoritative etymologies about "company" in his brain, which can catch up with the future Du Niang (Baidu). I just transferred the commercial name of the rotten street in later generations to the Song Dynasty, and I originally thought it was a scorpion - the only one, who knew that people immediately verified that this was an old concept more than a thousand years ago, cough cough! How embarrassing is this!

But everyone loves to listen to good words, Mao Geng feels that at least the word "erudite" is not an exaggeration to buckle on his head, and when it comes to the Great Song Dynasty, who else can be more knowledgeable than himself!

Since Chen Liang annotated the quotations of the sage, the "Huaxi Construction Company" did not have to be ashamed to answer, and on the contrary, it could type this name in a grand manner. As a result, between talking and laughing, the "Huaxi Contractor Team", which was of low grade, was suddenly upgraded to "Huaxi Construction Company", and Chen Liang, a celebrity, was appointed as the first director. Of course, there is Mao Geng above the director.

This latest personnel appointment was notified to Qu Jiatong as soon as possible, Xiang Yixuan participated in the trial ceremony the day before yesterday, and for the thunderous celebrity Chen Liang to cut the ribbon at the scene, Xiang Yixuan's mood was also like Chen Liang's fans in the audience - "Liangfen", full of admiration. But suddenly this gentleman was appointed as the director by Mao Geng, what is the matter with this director? However, it was said that the management power was handed over to Mao Geng, and it was inconvenient for Qu Jiatong to put his beak.

Mao Geng led Chen Liang to Baixi, and Xiang Yixuan, as the representative of Qu Jiatong, immediately brought Qu Jiatong's congratulations, Chen Liang didn't put Qu Jiatong in his eyes at all, to put it bluntly, Qu Jiatong used to be just a smuggling bandit nest that couldn't get on the table, thanks to robbing Mao Geng as a military advisor, so that Qu Jiatong has today's name.

Now the people of Qujiatong are all grateful to Mao Geng, because Mao Geng has brought them wealth. Qu Yaolong calculated the accounts, and so far Qu Jiatong has received more than 22,000 yuan, which is absolutely unimaginable in previous years.

According to Xiang Yixuan, the new celebrity Chen Liang deigned to be the head of the former bandits, that is to look up to Qu Jiatong, although this gentleman in the Great Song Dynasty can not be said to call for wind and rain, but with his name, I am afraid that the West China Contractor Team - now renamed "West China Construction Company", Qu Yaolong is still a little unaccustomed - The business can really do Lin'an in one fell swoop, maybe in the future the entire Great Song Dynasty will be popular with the houses built by "West China". Qu Yaolong weighed it and felt that this was not bad, anyway, Mao Geng did things, the accounts were clear, and the money earned was still much shared by Qu Jiatong, and it was said that Chen Liang's share was also taken out by Mao Geng from his own share.

Qu Jiatong's attitude towards Chen Liang was very enthusiastic, which Mao Geng did not expect. Qu Jiatong gave Chen Liang a maid, and it is said that he was also going to find a beautiful concubine for Chen Liang, and Xiang Yixuan specially came to ask Mao Geng for staff officer:

"Mr. Mao, Chen Liang is a famous celebrity, since he is willing to be the director of the 'Huaxi Construction Company', we Qu Jiatong also have to say, Chen Liang is alone, and at this age, Qu is the meaning of the family, I want to buy a beautiful concubine for Chen Liang, but I don't know what kind of woman Mr. Chen Liang likes, so I specially came to ask Mr. Mao, please refer to Mr. Mao for details!"

When Mao Geng arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he learned that concubines can be bought and sold at will, and the profession of concubines is divided into temporary and formal, what Qu Jiatong gave to Chen Liang should belong to the contract concubine, anyway, Chen Liang, the director, will be at most two years, and he doesn't need to send a lifelong concubine, and if he wants to buy out a slightly beautiful concubine, I'm afraid it will take at least a few thousand, and Qu Jiatong can't have this kind of skill. Mao Geng was not very interested in this kind of thing similar to pimping, so he said perfunctorily at the moment:

"Well, as long as it's a woman with such a three-point appearance, just send it to Chen Liang, you don't have to ask me about this."

The old cow eats tender grass, what else is there to pay attention to! Mao Geng muttered so in his heart.

Xiang Yixuan also wanted to see what Mao Geng thought about this, in case Mao Geng thought badly, thinking that Qu Jiatong wanted to entrap Chen Liang in private, it would be self-defeating.

Chen Liang loved wine and beautiful women, and when he heard that he could enjoy the special treatment of Qu Jiatong as a director, he was naturally happy.

Considering that the construction business is in the stage of high development, Chen Liang took office as a new official, and the first thing was to formulate an exhibition plan.

But on the issue of recruitment, Qu Jiatong is obviously a little resistant, Qu Jiatong's worries are not unreasonable, once outsiders are recruited, Qu Jiatong's people may be reduced to a supporting role, which is difficult for Qu Jiatong's people to accept.

However, Qu Jiatong also admitted that with Qu Jiatong's people, if he built several more houses at the same time, he would be unable to do so.

Chen Liang was originally ambitious and wanted to become bigger and stronger, but he didn't come to defend Qu Jiatong. At the moment, he was very unhappy, claiming that if he could not recruit more people, he Chen Liang would not be the director of this "Huaxi Construction Company".

The two sides were a little stiff for a while, and Mao Geng couldn't figure out why Qu Jiatong refused to give in in this regard. Mao Geng thought to himself, this is not to rebel, rebellion is to pay attention to the purity of the team. What the hell is going on with this Qu Jiatong! There was also a faint unhappiness in my heart.

However, Mao Geng is not worried, after all, Qu Jiatong's people can't turn the sky, and they will compromise in the end. It's better to just dry them.

Mao Geng pulled Chen Liang to be familiar with his own place, and said in his heart, if Qu Jiatong finally refused to compromise, it would be Qu Jiatong who violated the original agreement, and he could start from scratch, if Chen Liang wanted to be a construction contractor, he didn't have to hang himself on the tree of Qu Jiatong.

Mao Geng first took Chen Liang to visit the workshop of Qu Jiatong to fire bricks, and now this workshop has also begun to use a hydraulic brick press, in Mao Geng's eyes, it is not even a semi-automatic hydraulic brick press In Chen Liang's eyes, he was still quite shocked. What opened Chen Liang's eyes the most was the open-air upward kiln, a kiln was being installed, Chen Liang looked carefully and asked a lot, Mao Geng explained one by one on the side.

The other two kilns are burning, from the gap between the bricks, you can see that the inside is burning red, the gap is slightly wider, and the flames are spewed out, Chen Liang is curious, and when he moves forward, the flames rush over, almost burning Chen Liang's proud beard, Chen Liang laughs self-deprecatingly, and he doesn't care.

Mao Geng talked about the taboo of the red bricks, Xu County ordered for the tax of a county, of course, he turned a blind eye, under the pretext of Yao customs, did not intervene, but out of Xinhua, Anhua, this place with Yao people, can only be painted cement gray, or painted with a layer of lime, which undoubtedly increases the cost of building a house, for the people of the Great Song Dynasty is really not a blessing, Chen Liang heard this, smiled, and then boasted that Haikou, there is no need to worry about this matter, such a small matter, just a little operation, can lift the taboo. When Mao Geng heard this, he was skeptical, and he could only believe what he said with reservations about Chen Liang.

After seeing the brick-burning workshop, I came to the Youxi base, where there is crucible steelmaking, and there is a newly opened tile-making workshop. In addition, a glass workshop is also being built here.

Mao Geng briefly introduced the crucible steelmaking, only saying that the steel made by this method is much better than other steels in the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Liang just felt novel, and he had no concept of how to make crucible steel, Mao Geng just smiled and didn't explain more.

Mao Geng asked Chen Liang to focus on visiting the tile workshop, where two kinds of cement tiles are now being made.

Chen Liang first saw a square cement tile with curved grooves, which is three or four times larger than the common roof tiles, Mao Geng said:

"Brother Tongfu, this kind of tile is made of cement, and it doesn't need to be fired, just poured into the mold."

This kind of square cement tile is basically a simplified version of the cement color tile of later generations, because it cannot be pressed for the time being, its structure has been modified to be suitable for manual casting. In the workshop, a row of bottom molds is lined up, and after the cement mortar is poured into the bottom mold, the excess cement mortar is scraped off with a wooden scraper with two arches, and the casting of a piece of cement tile is completed.

Mao Geng continued:

"This kind of tile can also be made into a high-grade tile, which is mixed with bamboo fiber, and then pressed, the strength will be better, and it is difficult to break, I am afraid that ordinary people cannot afford to use it. Brother Tongfu, if you make high-grade tiles, who do you think will be able to afford it? ”

Chen Liang blurted out:

"Hehe, the first thing that comes to my mind, Brother Fool, is that Jiaxuan can afford it. By the way, the Han family can also afford it. Think about it, there are so many people who can afford it! It depends on the superiority of the roof. ”

As soon as Mao Geng heard this, this gentleman casually brought Xin Qiji out, it seems that the relationship is indeed not ordinary, and it is said that Xin Qiji is very good at business, and it should not be bad for money. Mao Geng led Chen Liang to the model display place of the cement tile cover, where a small piece of slope that simulated the roof was built, and the cement tile about four feet square was covered on the slope of the bamboo, Mao Geng casually lifted a piece and said:

"Brother Tongfu, come and see, here is a model for building a cover, but the left side and a small section above are covered by two other tiles, so that the cover comes out, one does not leak, and the other is very beautiful, you take a look, can this look be able to enter your eyes?"

Chen Liang saw that the effect of the cover was smoother and more beautiful than the old-fashioned tile, and said:

"I can let Jiaxuan replace many of his houses with this kind of tile, and others will definitely follow suit when they see that Jiaxuan uses this kind of tile."

Mao Geng said in his heart, you are Xin Jiaxuan when you open and close, and you feel very good about yourself!

Mao Geng just said:

"Brother Tongfu, you can take a look here again, it's not too late to comment."

On the other side is a workshop for making zuò fiber cement powa, and several people are making a large powa that is four feet long and one and a half feet wide.

"This kind of tile is cheaper than the square tile over there, and it is very quick to build, and most of the people of the Great Song Dynasty will be able to afford this large-format powa."

This kind of fiber cement powa is Mao Geng by Yang Zhe their enlightenment, the day Yang Zhe with cement on the thatched roof to fill the leak, the next day Mao Geng had an idea, suddenly remembered the later generations by a Chinese farmer Ming asbestos cement tile, can be called a legend in the history of building materials, asbestos cement tile is the first decade in the countryside widely used cheap tile, to the 21st century is still in use. In any case, this kind of tile is at least much better than a thatched roof.

In this era, asbestos could not be found for a while, but bamboo fibers that had been fumigated could replace asbestos. So Mao Geng immediately arranged trial production, crushed the bamboo into short fibers with water, then soaked in lime, and then fumigated, and the bamboo fiber could be used to make tiles. Don't say it, the tensile strength of bamboo fiber is extremely high, and the cement tile made of bamboo fiber is actually very good, which makes Mao Geng overjoyed.

In order to make the people of the Great Song Dynasty can afford to use, Mao Geng experimented with reducing the amount of cement to the limit, replacing cement with a large number of sand and gravel, and adding lime and gypsum, and finally found a cheap formula.

Mao Geng pondered, I don't know how Chen Liang thinks of this cheap big tile, and this gentleman with a high vision doesn't know if he will look down on this cheap tile.

Chen Liang looked at it, touched it again, and then felt the effect of the Powa cover model, squinted his eyes and said:

"This kind of tile is good, very good! I think, 6 Fang Weng should be the first willing to use this kind of Powa, 6 Fang Weng is not rich, Jia Xuan several times want to help him, let him build a few decent houses, but his old master is not alive or dead, now it's okay, I' Huaxi Construction Company" will go to build a few Powa houses for 6 Fang Weng, to him 6 Fang Weng, neither earn his money, nor lose, his old master will not be pedantic enough to refuse even this! ”

Mao Geng listened to Chen Liang's words, stood on the spot for a while, and said for a long time:

"Brother Gaoyi, I agree, but I really don't know if 6 Fang Weng can accept your good intentions."

Chen Liang sighed and said:

"Actually, the foolish brother is not as good as the old brother Yi Sheng, the foolish brother can only talk about it now, and Yi Sheng is really thinking about the common people in the world, Du Fu Shiyun 'There are tens of millions of mansions, and the big fart is happy all over the world!' , the peach and plum do not speak, the next is its own, and the realm of Yisheng is called high! I, Chen Liang, also have a dream since then, if I can build tens of millions of houses for the people of the world, so that tens of millions of people can shelter from the rain and cold, this life is enough! ”
