The construction of the coal-steel complex in Tangshan will be an unshakable event for the 'revolutionary army' for at least 50 years to come, and this place, just like the construction of Anshan Iron and Steel in Northeast China in New China, is the foundation that determines the fortunes of the country. It will even have more advantages than the Northeast, because it is close to the sea, and the transportation will be very convenient, and it can easily radiate the entire southeast coast of China.

But as the first batch of builders, Sang Quanlai's life was undoubtedly very hard. Compared to his father and eldest brother in the machine factory and the army, he is currently only a foreman in the road construction team, and he is still a foreman who cannot convince the public. Students who have graduated from the University of Golden State's management major have this pain. Those who go to the administration can be better, but those who go to the wild will suffer.

Although the 'Revolutionary Army' already has a steam engine, it still has a long tech tree to climb before it builds a locomotive and train. However, in order to build Tangshan's coal-steel complex more efficiently, a light-load wooden rail is a must. The only ones who power this rudimentary track are the horses, so the roads need to be made smoother, otherwise the horses will either not be able to pull or will be hit by a car.

This is an extremely difficult project for the inexperienced 'revolutionary army' road construction team. For Sang Quanlai, it is also extremely difficult to manage his 50 illiterate migrant workers. At the end of the day, he reviewed his textbooks in front of the campfire, trying to learn more management methods and solve the current problems.

But there's no good way to turn it around. Textbooks say that organization needs discipline to maintain, but where does discipline come from? The textbook is vague.

The warehouse was just being repaired, and the migrant workers were sleeping in their tents and snoring. Sang Quan's eyes were sour after reading the book for a while, so he grabbed a spear in his hand and decided to go to patrol - the construction site is in the wild, and there are not only wild beasts, but also some scattered bandits, and even nearby villagers will come to steal. In short, the current society is still chaotic.

In the dark night, the cold wind blew, and the wild grass in the field fell back and forth. The migrant workers on the sentry post were really lazy to sleep, Sang Wenlai turned the spearhead and stabbed him, and scolded in a low voice: "Lazy ghost, get up!" Do you dare to sleep when you are on guard, do you want to die? ”

The lazy migrant worker scolded and reluctantly got up from under the stump of the leaning tree. Seeing Sang Quanlai, who was holding a spear, scolded even more vigorously, the other party was obviously not afraid of this half-grown child. Sang Quanlai was ruthless in his heart, and secretly thought that when the supply team came at dawn, he would send this disobedient guy back, and he must be made to suffer a few whips.

After patrolling the sentry circle, there are few honest sentry. There is no one who knows how to shout passwords and ask questions. Sang Wenlai also clearly felt that these migrant workers were bullying him and ignoring him, just because he didn't seem to be a deterrent enough. The squad leaders he appointed were also not in charge of affairs at all, and had no authority to speak of - people in this year were unreasonable and considered themselves fists.

Thinking about the progress of these migrant workers during the day, Sang Quanlai was even more secretly worried. He learned some news from his brother, it is said that the road being built is a key project personally supervised by the marshal, and whoever dares to slack off will have to walk around without food. These migrant workers used to be lazy and not afraid at all. If the boss pursues the construction period, it will be painful for him.

patrolled the sentry several times at night, and each time the migrant workers were scolded. Sang Quanlai didn't sleep well, and he was not in good spirits the next morning, and his eye circles were black. When I got up dizzy, I found that the whole construction site was lazy and lifeless.

The mother-in-law invited from a nearby village made breakfast, and every time she appeared, she was teased and teased by the migrant workers who worked. Originally, six or seven cooks were invited, but the next day there were only two elderly women left. The young ones didn't dare to come, saying they were afraid.

But within a few days, Sang Quanlai found that the old woman who stayed behind to cook was not a fuel-efficient lamp. They seem to be honest and stubborn, but in fact they have been stealing rice and grain from the construction site. If it weren't for the fact that one day a dry meal on the construction site suddenly turned into gruel, he wouldn't have known about it.

The old woman who cooked also quibbled: "How can there be a full meal for the long-term workers, and when they don't live much, they have to be let eat thin." ”

"What does this have to do with you stealing?" Sang Wen shouted angrily and drove away the remaining two old women who were cooking on the spot. As a result, there was no one to cook, and the migrant workers came to shout and make noise again, saying that they had no food to eat and would pay their wages and go home. Not long after, a group of men came to the village where the old woman was, and they came to the village with dung forks and said that they wanted to settle the story of the little daughter-in-law in the village who had been bullied.

The construction site was completely chaotic, Sang Quanlai was as big as a fight, and he almost lost his life in a mess. Waiting for the convoy to send supplies, he sent away a few lazy migrant workers, and the remaining migrant workers hated him even more.

Later, I learned that these 50 migrant workers were all from the same village and had the same surname. Since then, Sang Quanlai has called people to sentry at night, and no one has paid attention to him at all. He screamed so loudly that he almost got beaten.

Just tossed like this for six or seven days, Sang Quanlai himself was going crazy. Until one day the supply team came again, not only sent back a few engineering rookies who had run away from the past, but also sent him five militiamen. The engineering rookie who re-studied Haha greeted Sang Quanlai, "What's the matter?" Haven't you had a particularly hard time these days? ”

Seeing these people who also belonged to Golden State University, Sang Quanlai almost cried, he really lived like a year these days. The old woman who had stolen the grain was invited back again, and her salary had to be doubled. Those migrant workers couldn't beat and scolded, but their work became more and more procrastinated, and they didn't pay attention to him at all. The construction of several warehouses was unsurprisingly delayed.

"Don't be afraid, not afraid. The big marshal knows all about the project. The project rookie who came back also specially brought a newspaper with Zhou Qingfeng's handwritten "Investigation of Counter-Revolution and Sabotage", "This project is large, and many migrant workers are hired locally in Gyeonggi. They are poorly trained and poorly organized. The marshal said that in the future, these migrant workers will be militarized. ”

What is militarized management?

The five spear militiamen who had come with the rookie of the project strode forward, looking like disciplined troops who had undergone preliminary training. These people loudly announced Sang Quanlai's power and responsibility, and when he heard this majestic and powerful voice, Sang Quanlai's tears that he wanted to hold back finally couldn't be held back and burst out of his eyes - the discipline mentioned in the textbook turned out to be guaranteed by force.

No wonder the book is vague about this, just writing about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and not mentioning the bloody side at all.

With such five militiamen who spoke loudly and had serious faces, the migrant workers on the construction site finally knew that they were afraid. When they looked at Sang Quanlai again, there was fear in their eyes. Sang Quanlai gritted his teeth with hatred for these lazy migrant workers, he gathered all the migrant workers, sent five militiamen down as squad leaders, and first trained in the military for one day to learn what discipline was.

Two sticks were broken, and Sang Quanlai finally vented his anger, "If you don't listen to good words, you idiots just owe it to kill, and you don't know if you see blood." From tomorrow onwards, I will rush to work and chase back the progress that has fallen. If you can't catch it back, you will delay Lao Tzu's future, and Lao Tzu will kill people. ”

In the face of the militia's knives and guns, a bunch of migrant workers didn't dare to let go of their farts. Sang Quanlai also reported to his superiors and asked him to disperse his group of migrant workers from the same village and mix them with migrant workers from other places. The higher management quickly approved it, and the latter's clan tie immediately collapsed, and he obediently went about his work. Even the women who came to cook were much more honest.

There are so many things to build a warehouse, and the entire wooden rail project from Tianjin to Tangshan is an innumerable trouble. Stone mines and steel mills require the presence of strong troops to maintain discipline. Such a huge engineering project is a huge challenge to the management and dispatch capabilities of the 'revolutionary army', and it is even more difficult to overcome it than to defeat the Ming army.

With such an experience, Sang Quanlai can be regarded as understanding why management needs both grace and power. To give those migrant workers good food and drink, they also need to have strong enough discipline to restrain them in order to form a joint force. Only after establishing authority can we engage in favors, and only then can we engage in some labor competitions to create differences in treatment, reflect the difference between doing and not doing, good and bad, and produce incentive effects.

"No wonder the marshal said that management is a science." Sang Quanlai's current level of knowledge is barely graduating from elementary school, but this management example really stimulates his desire to learn - it is said that as long as he has high knowledge, he can awaken the true yuan and have the power of magic, and at that time, he will not have to rely on the five militias to have the force to control the situation, just rely on himself.

Half a month later, the warehouse was repaired. Sang Quanlai has become black and thin, but he is very energetic, and his adaptability and self-confidence have also been cultivated.

After repeated training and practice, the rookies of road construction finally stumbled to master some ability to plan roads. The entire 100-kilometer or so project of the 'Tiantang Wooden Track' was cut into 200 sections. Each section is only 500 meters, and Sang Quanlai led a team of 50 people to carry out road excavation and roadbed construction.

Burst in the mountains and build bridges in the water.

I was always unskilled in engineering at first, but after a month of work, I realized that it was the same thing. With 200 segments and 200 teams, there are 200 young people like Sang Quanlai who are growing rapidly in practice.

After continuous elimination and encouragement, the entire engineering team has also rapidly accumulated experience, and even the original lazy and lazy migrant workers have become more and more obedient and better at commanding.

That's how the team is trained.

One month after the start of construction, several small open-pit coal mines in the direction of Tangshan have been produced. Dozens of four-wheeled carriages with a load of 1.5 tons began to run day and night on the unfinished roadbed. Sang Quanlai knew that the coal would be shipped to Tianjin to meet the growing fuel demand there.

"Sangtou, how can you use up so much coal?" During the break, the migrant workers on the construction site will also come to Sang Quan to chat. After a month of carrot and stick education, these illiterate migrant workers finally confirmed Sang Quanlai's authority, and also established the concept that literate people are reused and have backers.

"How ......? That's not much at all. Sang Wenlai learned some knowledge, and simply calculated how much fuel was needed for millions of people in Tianjin's urban circle. He also knew how the 'revolutionary army' had gone to great lengths to obtain fuel for the safety of the population in the spring and winter of last year. "When it's cold, you know how big the difference is between having coal and not having it."

The terrain from Tianjin to Tangshan is flat, and the amount of earthwork on the road between the two places is relatively small, and it is rarely used in places that require explosives to open the mountain. However, how to build a solid roadbed is a little technical, and engineers need to learn and verify it repeatedly.

However, considering that it is a lightly loaded wooden track, the road pressure is not great. In a month's work, the 200 migrant workers basically completed their own 500-meter road construction. Next up is the main event – the laying of wooden rails.

Zhou Qingfeng set up a rail vehicle bureau in Tianjin for this light-duty wooden track, which laid a 400-meter circular roadbed and track outside the city. Over the past month, several makeshift rail wagons have been running hundreds of laps back and forth on the test track, overturning more than a dozen times.

It has not been able to pass the acceptance......
