Anqing Prefecture, Tongcheng County, No. 891 Collective Manor - Because the villagers in this manor are mainly named Qian, Fang, and Sun, it is also called a three-ethnic manor.
Planning begins in April, land enclosure and household registration begin in May, and the construction of the manor officially begins in June.
The actual construction period of the manor is only three months.
During this period, we have to do farm work in the fields, build brick kilns in advance to bake bricks, and wait for the Xujiazhuang headquarters to distribute reinforced concrete, sand and gravel and other building materials. There are many miscellaneous things.
As a result, the construction progress of the manor is not very fast. So far, the overall progress has only reached 45%.
Fortunately, the busy farming period in August is over.
Starting from this month, more than 27,800 residents of the 891st Collective Manor can devote all their time and energy to the construction of the manor. All men, women, old and young have to work, so the progress has accelerated a lot. Every day
The changes are visible to the naked eye, which is very gratifying.
but……
Qian Chengzhi felt very dissatisfied and very anxious.
On the one hand, winter is about to begin, the temperature will drop, making it unsuitable for work, and the efficiency will be reduced a lot.
Secondly, there is their collective estate. Among the 1,100 newly built estates in Jiangnan, the construction progress is relatively slow, even at the bottom.
Because statistics from the Xujiazhuang headquarters show that the construction progress of most new manors has exceeded 60%, and a few have reached 70% or even 80%. However, there are also more than a dozen collective manors whose construction progress has exceeded 90%. This month
It will be fully completed within a few days.
And this efficiency is simply terrifying and unbelievable.
It also means that within the same three or four months, the overall work efficiency of these fast-working manors was twice that of the 891 collective manor, equivalent to one person doing the work of two of them.
So when Qian Chengzhi saw these data, his first reaction was that it was impossible, and he expressed disbelief.
Because today's large-scale collective estates with an enclosure area of nearly 50,000 acres and the number of residents generally reach or approach 30,000, there are too many infrastructures that need to be built for the comfort and convenience of life.
There are criss-crossing cement roads.
There are thousands of three-and-a-half-story villas.
There are irrigation reservoirs and tap water systems.
There are dozens of large warehouses.
There are biogas digesters, hospitals, schools, banks, police stations, factories, workshops, public ancestral halls, cemeteries, orchards, etc.
The entire project is extremely large. Even the most professional workers will need more than 15 million workers (that is, one worker works for eight hours) to complete the construction. Of course, if a large number of tractors, excavators and other machinery are used, it can
The labor force is greatly reduced, but at least it will not be less than 5 million workers.
As for the 891 collective estate, in the past few months, in order to build their new home, almost everyone has exploded with unprecedented enthusiasm. It is common to work 13 or 4 hours a day.
People are like a perpetual motion machine, working on things without feeling tired. They just want to build the manor quickly and live a happy and comfortable life.
Including Qian Chengzhi, a literati who rarely does physical work and has always been industrious, he also moved a lot of bricks and shoveled a lot of soil. He often became disgraced and even the muscles in his arms bulged, and he was heading towards
The development trend of muscular men.
It can be said that Qian Chengzhi was willing to pat his chest on the back and guarantee that in the process of building his own manor, no one, no matter scholars, ordinary farmers, or even the elderly or children, was lazy. Even if he lay down and rested for a while, he would be criticized.
If you chat with others, you will feel embarrassed and uneasy, and have to get up and continue working.
That is, everyone broke out their greatest efforts and energy.
The most fundamental reason is that everyone is building their own homes and working hard for their own happiness! If you are lazy and slow down on this kind of thing, then this person will never have any future and will be criticized by everyone.
If you are disgusted, you will lose the right to choose a spouse in the blind date market. No one wants to marry this kind of lazy person. If it is more serious, you may be expelled from the manor, because people can tolerate diligent waste, but they will never tolerate smart lazy people...
Of course, Chinese people are hardworking by nature, and the proportion of lazy people is not high. When working hard for oneself, the number will not exceed one in 100,000.
But even so.
The construction efficiency of the 891st Manor is still slower than that of most manors, and there is no possibility of completion within this year at least.
But this won't work.
So at the request of the clan chiefs Qian, Fang, and Sun, a discussion meeting was held with the members of the management team to find the cause of the problem.
In other words, this was a meeting to express dissatisfaction with the management team. The patriarchs of the Qian, Fang, and Sun clans all believed that the main problem with the slow progress of the manor construction was the management team.
Qian Chengzhi also attended the meeting.
The head of the Fang family first fired: "Captain Yang, I think your work team is not doing a very good job. Although we work very hard to cooperate with each construction project and work from morning to night every day, we often fail at critical moments."
At that time, there was not enough steel and cement, or there were not enough red bricks. We had to take people to the river to dig out the sand ourselves. In addition, there were only twenty tractors and three excavators. Even though they were not many, there was not even enough diesel.
It can only be operated one day every three days. If we can ensure that there is enough fuel every day, how can it be so far behind the schedule?"
The head of the Sun family agreed: "Yes, there is a lack of red bricks, a lack of cement, a lack of diesel, a lack of water pipes, a lack of electricity, and even a lack of tools for work. The protection is seriously inadequate. If these problems are not solved, we will not be able to work."
How can the effect be achieved quickly?”
The head of the Qian family said: "Captain Yang, Secretary Yuan, please quickly think of a way to solve the serious shortage of various supplies. We have more than 20,000 members of the three tribes. We still want to live in spacious and warm houses before the end of the year."
In the villa, I want to complete the construction of the manor before next spring plowing, and then I can focus on farming, breeding, and setting up factories, making a lot of money, and becoming well-off as soon as possible. If we continue to work like this, won't we still have to delay next year?
In one year, the gap has been widened by those manors that are fast, and they can only continue to lag behind?"
The head of the Fang family said: "Yes, Captain Yang, please work harder here and help us get more construction materials."
Hear these complaints.
Yang Junlin shook his head and said: "The construction materials provided by the headquarters are evenly distributed to the 1,100 manors. They will be treated equally. This manor will not give more to that manor and less to that manor. It is useless for you to blame me for this matter, and those construction efficiency
The reason why Kuai Manor is faster than us is that firstly, they have prepared materials in advance and expected to face shortages. Secondly, they use their own money to raise funds and then go to private brick kilns and cement factories to purchase building materials.
, those who travel far away go to Shandong and Henan to purchase. Finally, in terms of fuel, all manors are now facing a shortage of diesel. It is not just us who are short of diesel, but other manors are still building despite the shortage of diesel.
Quickly, they spent their own money to hire a large number of workers from other places, using more manpower to achieve faster efficiency."
He spread his hands and said: "You really can't blame our work team for the problem. We have tried our best. If you want to complete the manor faster, you can only think of ways to further use your subjective initiative.
"
These words silenced everyone, and no one spoke to answer his question.
Because Yang Junlin's intention is obvious, that is, let them raise their own money, go to those private brick kilns, cement plants, and lime plants to purchase building materials and hire additional workers to come and work. In today's labor market with rising wages, it is necessary to
Only if you offer a salary of no less than 180 Wen per day and two meaty meals can you recruit workers, otherwise it will be difficult to recruit people.
This means that you have to pay a lot more costs.
However, during the land acquisition process for the manor, the three major families had already donated all the land to the manor for free, and had already paid a lot of costs. It was really difficult for them to pay for it.
"Elders, the sages have a famous saying: I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent!"
At this time, Qian Chengzhi patted the back of the chair, stood up and said: "I suggest that everyone donate all the private money and coffin books that are packed at the bottom of the box. If you have three hundred, donate three hundred, if you have five hundred, donate five hundred.
, there are one hundred and eighty thousand, and all of them will be used to build our manor. Don’t worry about it, just treat it as equal to the rich and the poor! When the manor is completed, we will set up a merit stone and engrave all the donors on it. In addition,
Those who donate a lot can have priority in choosing villas, priority in arranging work, and priority in receiving various benefits and opportunities. In return for this, others are not allowed to raise any objections."
"Elders, at this time, stop worrying about personal interests and gains and losses. The most important thing right now is to build our home and complete it as soon as possible. No matter how much it costs, we must complete the construction of the manor before the end of the year.
The progress has been advanced to more than 90%, with basic living and living functions, allowing everyone to move into a new home, with running water and electricity... For a better life in the future, we need to look forward, rather than clinging to the past.
accumulation."
"I, Qian Chengzhi, have made a personal decision to donate every cent of the more than 23,000 silver dollars I have accumulated through my work over the past few years to give everyone a good start!"
Finally, Qian Chengzhi announced loudly, causing a wave of shock.
The three patriarchs also expressed their support:
"Good young people, good young people, this is wisdom, this is the pattern!"
"Forget it, money is just floating clouds. All the eight hundred silver dollars and coffin books I saved have been donated!"
"Ashamed, I have lived in vain for more than seventy years. I would rather live a transparent life as a queen. That's all. The coffin book of my five hundred silver dollars should be used to speed up the construction of the manor!"
"My family is poor and can only afford more than one hundred silver dollars."
"I'll donate too!"
"..."
Subsequently, under the leadership of these patriarchs, there was a frenzy of donations from everyone in the 891 Collective Manor. In a short period of time, more than 500,000 silver dollars were raised. This amount is quite considerable and can completely transform the manor.
The construction efficiency has been increased by more than 50%.
Captain Yang Junlin made a batch of motivational red banners and slogans and placed them throughout the construction site. Although they only served as spiritual encouragement, the effect was also very significant, such as -
After ninety days of hard work, it was completed years ago!
Light up the lamp and stay up all night to fight, victory is in sight!
If you suffer a little this year, you will enjoy happiness next year!
Strive to be first, not last!
Go, go, go, go, go, run towards happiness unstoppable!
Wait wait wait.
After villagers saw these motivational slogans, they seemed to have the effect of increasing work efficiency by 10%.
However, Qian Chengzhi regretted it. Because he impulsively donated all his savings, his wife Fang Wanyi was very angry. After all, there were many people in the family and there were many places to spend money, but Qian Chengzhi was so sincere and sincere.
I donated it, so I punished him by kneeling on the washboard for several hours, which will make his memory long.
Fortunately, the concubine Su Ziyu was gentle and considerate. Instead of scolding him, she took out a thousand silver dollars from her private money and asked Qian Chengzhi to subsidize the family. This moved Qian Chengzhi and he had to sigh: "
A wife is not as good as a concubine, this really makes sense, Fang is a Hedong lion, Ziyu is the best to me."
