Chapter 64: Tenders and the Firstborn

At the beginning of February 191, after further experiments, interviews began with the first batch of cement, albeit earthen cement.

Considering the problem of demand, Fang Yun arranged several places in advance that would not pollute the environment too much, and built more than ten soil and cement workshops, but it is not quite correct to say that the workshops already have the prototype of the factory.

It can be said that this is the first batch of state-owned factories in the actual sense of the word. However, instead of the state personally leading and directing, an announcement was issued to recruit the factory director, and finally five businessmen's children were selected to serve as the factory director, and the state was not directly involved in the operation of the factory, but only assisted in the security of the factory.

To put it bluntly, the city wall made of earth and concrete is stronger than the city wall of Sanhe. If it is obtained by the enemy, especially if it is learned by its craft, then it will undoubtedly be a major loss to the other party's cloud forces. Strategically, as well as economically.

However, in the initial stage, Fang Yun still needs to directly determine the specific rules and regulations of the factory, as well as the production mode:

First of all, the standardized working mode that has been widely used, as well as the assembly line working mode, must be firmly implemented;

Secondly, all employees must have a sense of confidentiality, suspected of leaking important processes and technical personnel, up to the three tribes, cruel or not, Fang Yun does not care, not ruthless, but afraid that people in this era do not know what is at stake;

Finally, working hours must be limited to eight hours, with at least one day off every seven days. Wages must not be lower than the minimum subsistence wage, overtime must be paid twice the normal wage, and labor insurance supplies and pension, medical, unemployment and work-related injury insurance must be complete, and only when these standards are met can the factory be delivered to the factory director to lead.

At this stage, it is clear that many people are not able to accept women's work, and in addition to cement factories, the printing and paper mills that are being built in large numbers are highly polluting enterprises, so they are not suitable for women to work. Because of this, there is no need to consider the maternity insurance in the five insurances.

How about other businesses. Fang Yun didn't care, anyway, he didn't plan to really take the common road or the capital road, everything just let it be. After all, this is still a feudal era, isn't it?

The entire plant. The state holds 51% of the shares, and the rest is distributed to the factory director, and it is up to him to decide whether to keep it for himself or to share the profits appropriately. The factory site and equipment are equivalent to his loan income. If they can't make a profit, then the collateral they pledge will be repaid as interest.

If you don't take on the leadership of a factory building without your own strength, but you can't let it create benefits and value, you deserve to be punished! Not to mention, for a long time in the future, whether it is the private sector or the government, there will be at least no fewer orders.

The only thing to worry about is that the factory director is in violation of the rules and operates in accordance with the regulations. In fact, workers are made obligated to work overtime, or their wages are deducted. It was precisely because he was worried that such a thing would happen that Fang Yun had to take on the security work of the factory. On the one hand, it is natural not to want the technology to leak, and on the other hand, it is also to supervise the leadership of the factory.

Whether this is a qualified state-owned enterprise, Fang Yun doesn't know, he doesn't care too much about the operation and mode of state-owned enterprises, or most normal people don't care about this thing, right?

Anyway, as long as you think it's about the same, if there is any mistake, you can see the trick and guess the trick. Ultimately. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Chinese people, he comes from the future and understands this truth deeply...... It's not something to be proud of......

In charge of the construction of the factory, it was a team of 10 construction corps that was sent out. It is through the construction of large factories that they are building. to accumulate construction experience. In the process of construction, Fang Yun also proposed the method of adding steel bars to make reinforced concrete.

It's just that this year is actually a vast and sparsely populated situation for China, so the use of land is not as urgent as in the future. Don't talk about the leaders of these construction corps, let's just say that the other courtiers don't understand either. Why does Fang Yun make such maximum use of space?

You must know that according to the rules of the imperial court, building a building higher than the city wall is itself an act of transgression. Because of such a building, you can see everything in the castle at a glance, and even all the conditions in the palace. This makes it much easier to specify various plans.

Based on this consideration, it was almost impossible to have too tall buildings in the castle from ancient times. Even though the factory is outside the city, it is not too far away for transportation, and many people have questioned whether the building is too high.

"TMD, won't you have to build the city walls and the buildings in the city higher in the future?" Fang Yun scolded with a smile.

If you are worried that buildings that are too tall will give you a clear view of the situation in the city, why not just build all the buildings higher? The factory is the best test product, once the construction is successful and its quality is confirmed, large-scale urban reform is still far away?!

At this moment, the courtiers had no opinion, so the factory began to be built.

Due to the sufficient manpower and the initial construction of about two floors of factories, the first batch of factories was completed in more than a month, that is, around the end of March. After confirming the degree of solidity and stability, the urban reform plan for Jinyang began to be included in the agenda.

At the same time, the construction of more than 30 secondary schools and five universities began to be included in the plan. Construction of these buildings will probably begin early next year, when the second batch of college students will graduate. Among the five universities, there will inevitably be a normal university, the purpose of which is to train qualified teachers as reserve talents.

More than 30 main roads have been tendered, which can be said to be the first government tender in history. Except for a few very important pipelines to be built by the Construction Corps, these less important official roads, mainly the highways that communicate with the administrative office and the counties in various places, are tendered for these road sections.

The news was released, indicating that those who have the ability can come to the bidding. At the same time, it said that after the construction is completed, merchants can enjoy the right to set up cards and charge fees for five years. But the merchant with the lowest bid, the best quality, and the fastest construction speed is likely to win the bid.

At the beginning, the construction period given by Fang Yun was obviously too short, which discouraged many businessmen.

In the end, seeing that there were less than three businessmen who came to apply for the bid, Fang Yun was also strange, and after asking to confirm that it was this problem, he called all the merchants over with a smile and couldn't help but demonstrate the use of soil and cement on the spot.

In fact, there is no need to show it like this, just take them to see the cement factories that are being built, and the cement road from the factory to the city, basically.

It's just speechless, before the tender. These businessmen gave priority to asking Fang Yun to sell a batch of cement to them.

"At this stage, the cement plant is under construction. The output of cement is not high, and the construction plans in various places in the past two years are also full. So in the past two years. Cement is purchased and used by the government. Of course, if you win the bid, you can be allowed to buy and put the cement into construction. However, the ugly story is that the government will send supervisors to supervise the construction of all projects, and if they cut corners. In exchange for the best, the news of your family's head! Fang Yun was very serious, and even said to them in a somewhat threatening tone.

"The grass people understand!" The businessmen are not fools, so they naturally responded one after another, and many even swore directly.

Since the construction period is not a problem, the bidding will naturally be held smoothly, and more than 300 businesses will finally participate in the bidding for 30 roads. Excluding 180 businesses with insufficient qualifications, that is, businesses with no construction experience at all, or who have not been engaged in the construction industry, the remaining 120 businesses grabbed the construction qualifications of these 30 roads.

In the end, 30 were selected, and the conditions were good. And the merchant with the lowest price. The Zhenzhang United Chamber of Commerce, which has migrated to the side of the Lingshi County, the Chamber of Commerce established by the Fu family, the largest in the former Northland, the Xuzhou Mi Chamber of Commerce, the Qingzhou Zong's Chamber of Commerce, and the Liu Chamber of Commerce established by Liu Yu's son, are impressively included.

Perhaps, this is also a concession from Fang Yun, the only relatively unfamiliar is the Fu family, the previous generation of family heads is Hanyang County Taishou Fu Xie (xie), and the head of this generation is Fu Xie's son Fu Gan. At this moment, he has been out of office, and he has been appointed as the chief secretary of Tunliu County. The Fu family also has more than 20 clansmen, who either enter the school or become a small official.

For the sake of their obedience, it is also appropriate to give them store benefits. How much, it's also a bit of a money to buy horse bones. It's just that some people can't buy his favor and loyalty. That is Yingchuan Xun's family.

The Yingchuan Chen family has already expressed compromise, and Chen Qun, the eldest son of the Chen family, as well as his uncles Chen Zheng, Chen Qia, Chen Chen, Chen Xin and Chen Guang, as well as Chen Chen's son Chen Zhong, have all come out. There were also many other clansmen who either went to school or went out, and at the same time, they also sent a large number of books to Fang Yun to copy, completely because they had already regarded Fang Yun as their own.

But the Yingchuan Xun clan still seems to be hostile to themselves, just because they are from the Yellow Turban Army.

Fang Yun didn't know why he was so resentful by the Yingchuan Xun clan. Could it be because when I visited Yingchuan Academy, I didn't have a good attitude towards the head of the Xun family? In any case, it seems impossible to gain their allegiance.

Yingchuan Xun currently has three of the most talented children, one is Xun You, who is on an errand in Chang'an at the moment; One is Xun Yu, who seems to have come out of Cao Cao; The last one is Xun Chen, who has already taken refuge in Yuan Shao.

None of the family members were under Fang Yun's command, and their attitude was very bad. This also made Fang Yun silently make a decision in his heart, he would attack Yingchuan one day, and he would inevitably destroy the Xun family! At least, Xun Yu and the others are all killed, and it is good to earn some martial spirits!

The construction of the road began, and the good news continued to come:

Dian Jie successfully built the first steelmaking furnace, there may still be many deficiencies and defects, but the quality of the steel smelted is much better than before, and the rare thing is that the speed is also very fast. After making sure that there were no problems with the technology, Fang Yun naturally also ordered the construction of five such blast furnaces, with the purpose of establishing a number of arsenals.

The second level is to sell products, and the others are in cooperation with the Completion Research Institute, and under the leadership of Dian Jie, they continue to study how to improve the quality of steel, as well as the efficiency of smelting.

The first batch of merchants who went out brought back a large amount of supplies, as well as a lot of local craftsmen. These are all urgently needed by Fang Yun, and naturally the more the merrier. It is rare that a lot of profits have been made, and the follow-up construction needs can be guaranteed.

What made Fang Yun anxious and looking forward to the most was that his first son finally came to this world in crying.

An eight-pound big fat boy, with the level of obstetrics and gynecology medical care in this era, such a big guy is really hard to solve. But all the hard work is worth it, seeing this kid come to this world in good health, Xie Yuan and Fang Yun are happy to hold him in their arms and kiss him, but it is very unpopular, and it can't sleep, and the two of them can only smile bitterly at this. (To be continued.) )

PS: The prelude to the big construction, as well as the birth of the eldest son, Fang Yun is finally a successor!

Finally, it's a routine!
