The owners of the Yellow River Boat Cruise ushered in the New Year under such circumstances. They dared not tell the people below this matter, fearing that if the people below lose their morale, then they might not be able to go back this time.
On the night of the New Year’s Eve, Zhang Zhong did not want to let his family live with the local people as before. The main reason was that there were two deep-pregnant people in the family. If something happened, it would be too late to regret. Zhang went out at night, even if he had fun with the people.
This year, he did not go from house to house to find people with bad lives to condolences. In fact, he doesn't need him to condolences. Those people are basically the same. The only place worth visiting is the nursing home.
The old man and the old lady inside are not bad, and the usual nutrition keeps up. There is always a doctor here at home. This year, no one has not survived.
There are various fireworks above the sky, and the sound of firecrackers in the whole Luzhou has even become a piece of fireworks. Every family is laughing. Even the owners of the Yellow River Boat Cruise have cheered up tonight and followed the boaters below. Supper.
Thirty has passed, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan do not want to give the people such a long vacation. They usually start to resume work after the fifteenth, and arrange it on the sixth day of the sixth 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 refused to let Zhang Zhong post notices in advance, they would ask them themselves.
For the New Year in other places, people who have been tired for a year want to have a good rest. The people in Luzhou don’t have such an idea. They think that work is what makes them the most happy. The main reason is this kind of work for everyone. Talk for a few words while doing things.
This is more lively than before. People who are accustomed to chatting will feel very uncomfortable if no one chats at once.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan really shifted the focus of the people's work, asking them to repair the dock on the dock side as much as possible, as well as some wood needed for shipbuilding, and let them go to the mountain to get them.
Li Xun did not go back for the New Year this year. In addition to the Bi family and Zhang Wang’s family, they all spent the new year with Zhang Wang’s family. Don’t think Li Xun has grown up a lot, he is a person who should be responsible. But like a little baby, he likes to make incense, and throws firecrackers there.
After the fifth day of the fifth day, he also has things to do. The construction on the mountain is still a lot worse. It may be easier to replace it with flat ground. The terrain in the mountain is complicated, and there are all kinds of mosquitoes and beasts. The beasts can be handed over to the guards. There is no good way to deal with bugs or something.
This is still in spring, that is, winter, and the sky hasn't warmed up yet. Of course, compared to other northern places, this place is warmer.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan now put their physical exercise sites on the dock every day. After Li Xun arranged things in the mountains, he followed them. When the two people did some movements, he did the same. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not. What out-of-the-ordinary movements would be made outside, that is, running, leg presses, and doing exercises, Li Xun followed.
Wang Juan's two puppies have grown up a lot. As soon as Wang Juan goes out, they will run after them, appearing very excited.
"Xiaobao, you two wait for me. I really can't run. This sandbag doesn't sink too much when I pick it up. Why can't I stand it when I tie it to my body and run for a while?"
On the morning of the eighth day of the eighth day, Li Xun saw that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had three catties of sandbags tied to each of them. Thinking about his own age, he got a six catty, and his whole body totaled six catties. He thinks this. The weight is nothing at all, and as a result, after running behind Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan for a while, I finally regretted it.
Regrets, regrets, he feels that he needs a bit more. After all, it is the weight he requested. If he picks it off now, it will be easy for others to laugh. Seeing Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are running farther and farther, he had to call two people to wait.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan put half a catty of sandbags on each of their legs. The other two catties were put on their bodies. They adjusted their breathing and ran around a garden on the side of the pier. One thousand meters, now the two talents have ran half a circle, and they are not very tired at all.
Hearing Li Xun yelling from behind, the two of them didn’t mean to stop and wait at all. Who made Li Xun so stupid. He tied a three-pound sandbag on one leg, not to mention that he is not a real adult, but an ordinary adult. Can't stand this weight either.
The two didn't want to change the rhythm because of Li Xun's reasons. That would be very uncomfortable. The expressions on their faces were very relaxed. They kept the frequency and pace in a counterclockwise direction and continued to run.
Seeing that the two people ignored him, Li Xun had to run again, but after a while, it really didn’t work. He seemed to find a reason for himself to give up the sandbags. Li Xun faced the two who could no longer see him. The individual yelled: "Oh, the sandbag on my left leg is worn too hard, I will take it off first."
After yelling, he also knew that he would not be ignored. He removed the sandbag on his left leg with three catties of sand, moved his left leg and felt more comfortable, and then continued to run. After running for a while, He shouted again: "Oh, my right leg is also worn out. I will make one tomorrow. This is really bad."
While he was speaking, he took off the sandbag on his right leg again. This was not a heavy relationship, but one leg was light and the other was heavy, making it even more uncomfortable to run.
Waiting for him to take off the sandbag on his right leg, and when he was about to chase the two people in front of him, he found that he didn't need to chase, but he could just continue to run with him. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already walked around behind him. .
"You two, let you wait for me. You don't want to wait, but I am exhausted. Tomorrow I am going to put these sandbags on my body, just like you two."
Li Xun ran next to Zhang Xiaobao and didn't forget to complain to the two people. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan still didn't make a sound, and their eyes didn't seem to be radiant. This was the result of relaxation.
Li Xun said a few words himself, and when he saw that people ignored him, he mumbled: "Don't be so serious, right? It's just a play, why bother to be so serious? Hey, I've taken the two of you, and I will also adjust breathe."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ran for four laps before they stopped. They went to a flower bed and began to press their legs. Li Xun ran a little more than three laps with him. He was exhausted. The main reason was that he was exhausted by wearing sandbags before. Then, with his usual exercise, he really won't be so tired.
When he ran to Zhang Xiaobao's side, he pressed his legs down, and at the same time he didn't forget to speak.
"Xiaobao, you said that if you don't need to connect those two rivers to the mountain, no matter how you repair them, the rivers in there should be connected too? Especially the waterfalls, it just happens that the people don't have much to do right now."
"Why don't you have anything to do? Don't connect the river below the waterfall. If you really connect, you will lose a lot of good scenery. The mouth can be repaired. You can arrange this. You don't need to transfer the people from other places. Now, when the construction here is almost done, when the speed of the boat is faster, my family will find a way to find some tourists for you."
Zhang Xiaobao finally started to speak at this time, and the tourists here are also thinking about things, that is, go to the capital and wait. Once there is an imperial examination, those who have not passed the examination can get here. Traveling, rich people naturally enjoy better treatment.
People who don't have money don't have to worry. You can get some work here and let them help along the way, such as writing some travel notes, painting some scenery and so on.
This is not to make a lot of money, but to train people from Datang, relax those who fail to pass the exam, and at the same time increase their knowledge. The books of this era are not so rich, and there are many experience books. Not in.
Li Xun also knew about Zhang Xiaobao’s plan. To be precise, it was the plan of the Zhang family. He always thought that way. After hearing what Zhang Xiaobao said, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will find a way to speed up here. I think The tools used at Xiaoluoshui Wharf in Sanshui County are very good. Can people make iron chains with iron things so that they can get up and running quickly."
What Li Xun was talking about was the cargo hangers and other tools at the wharf. The wharf was bigger, but the speed of work was much faster than before, so he wanted to get more tools like that.
When Zhang Xiaobao heard it, he turned to look at Wang Juan. Wang Juan also brightened his eyes and said, "Yes, this is a good idea. Yes, get some good steel so that good craftsmen can make more handy tools, those machine tools. Something is not perfect now, but there should be no problem with making points with manual tools."
Wang Juan suddenly thought that in normal life, some of the tools here are really not comprehensive enough, but she and Zhang Xiaobao were not like that at that time. Mass production may be laborious, without such good materials, you can let yourself be around People still have no problem using it.
The most important thing is that after the hand-made tools are made, they can be modified slowly until they are perfected, and they can also assist the machine tool. This 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'll just wait. The steel business has to be done slowly. This is not the capital city. It is not easy to find many things."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had agreed, Li Xun felt relieved. He waited for the high man in Zhang’s family to get some good things out. Not only would he be able to use it here, but he could also send it to the Ministry of Industry. Some.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that Li Xun was enthusiastic about this matter now. Suddenly they had a better idea. Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao said to Li Xun: "Actually, I think the people who do things now, even though they have always They are all doing it, but they are not professional enough. For example, building a house is usually done by a craftsman.
This kind of skill is not small, but there are fewer and more people available. There should be someone who is responsible for certain things. For example, the person who builds the road is in charge of the road. As long as he knows how to build the road, how to drain it, and the cover The people in the house are the same, each person is responsible for one aspect.
If Li Gongzi can find more manpower, he might as well try to do this to see if there is any benefit, and set up a construction company to undertake those construction tasks. At the beginning, find a skilled person to bring it to the end. You can form a team.
Not only can they work for themselves, but they can also make money by working for others, and improve some tools in the process of work. When it is critical, if there is a need to fight, these individuals can also help to repair some defensive fortifications. "
Li Xun is now able to understand many novel words. He also understands the meaning of the company. He is similar to the group. Hearing Zhang Xiaobao's proposal, he slapped his forehead and said:
"Yeah, I have always had such a vague idea, but I can’t say it specifically. Now I know what it meant. Right, right, the company wants to open a company, a construction company, and then I’ll take a few more. Live to do it, you can repair things for yourself when you are not alive, and you can go to build defenses when you fight.
It’s a good idea. I’ll recruit people soon after I go back. I’ll give them a better treatment. I’m going to recruit 3,000 people first, and wait for these 3,000 people to practice. If there is cement or something, I will let them use this to practice their hands.
Naturally, defense repairs cannot be done with some mud and grass like a house in the past, let alone made of wood and bamboo like a normal house, just use cement. Hurry up and do exercises. I'll go back to recruit people when it's over. "
Li Xun became more excited as he spoke, and began to urge Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to come.
When Zhang Xiaobao heard that Li Xun wanted to recruit people, he vetoed it quickly: "No, you are not allowed to recruit people here. There are only a few people in total for you to recruit. You can't do anything here, and you are not allowed to do anything here. Idea, you find a way elsewhere."
"Oh, can't it in Luzhou? Yes, the people here will actually help the chamber of commerce in the future. There are really three thousand fewer people, so you can make a lot of less money. Okay, just go elsewhere. I think about it. Well, it would be great if it were in the capital."
Li Xun scratched his head when he heard what Zhang Xiaobao said, and smiled and said something to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
Zhang Xiaobao was relieved when he saw that Li Xun had changed his mouth. He didn't want to take the people here elsewhere. Of course, the construction company had to go back and forth with the received job. What if he picked up a distant one
The three people exercised here for a while. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan started to watch the progress of various projects here, while Li Xun went back to arrange the establishment of the company. He didn’t want to monopolize this, including Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. One for two.
Waiting for Li Xun to leave, Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao with some worry: "Xiaobao, you said to set up such a professional construction company, will they wait for their technology to come up and they think about cutting corners? Then came out a lot of tofu dregs projects? I'm afraid they don't put iron wires in the cement but bamboo or wood."
"The better the technology, the better things should be made. The people here seem to have not learned that kind of ability. Of course, cutting corners is to be learned, not to be used to build houses for the people or which officials. Used, but used to make fake fortifications, true and false, can be used in real battles.
And we can send people to watch, especially those with good skills, who will become supervisors in the future. Anyone who dares to cut corners when building roads or building bridges and houses, then clean up hard. This is the case in the era of power. , And now there is no real estate speculation.
I guess someone will follow Li Xun’s approach to build up some construction teams, but don’t worry, the cement is in our hands, the size of the house, the bridges and roads to be built, if they want to buy cement, they need When you apply, we will send someone to make an on-the-spot calculation. The number is as much as you need, and it is monitored. As long as any person violates the regulations, the supply of cement will be stopped. "
Zhang Xiaobao is really not worried about this matter. People here are not so slippery. At least some folks don’t. As for the construction of river embankments and sea embankments, there are some corruption, such as using soft soil instead of stones. Some officials may be able to do things.
"That's good, I guess if it is a non-governmental organization, if they are cutting corners when repairing things, it is not just as simple as stopping the supply of cement if they are found out. They are likely to be held accountable by the government, and they are afraid of some family members. They are officials themselves, so they will take risks in order to obtain sufficient benefits for themselves."
Wang Juan is still a little worried. In the face of interests, it is not morally constrained. After thinking about it, he said, "Also pay attention to whether such a company will make more money and then deliberately take some A project, or a fake project, is used to defraud the cement to sell to the surrounding countries.
At that time, if it is a non-governmental organization, it will be fine as long as it is broken up. After a few days, another individual will be established and a company will be established. As long as the cement is purchased, they will not care whether the supply is stopped. "
"Yes, this is also a problem. Then you can't easily sell things to them, and even if you sell them, let people follow along and give them bit by bit. Only the original cement is almost used. New Can provide them with more cement, otherwise don’t expect more cement to provide.”
When Zhang Xiaobao heard it, he got serious. This problem must be prevented. It is easy for some countries around to come up with conspiracies when they learn about cement. It is very simple. It is just a shell company. He has often done it before. .
"Then it's settled. If you really find out which one specializes in making cement and sells it to outsiders, do you have any good ideas?" Wang Juan asked again.
