Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 299
Wu Anan is a northerner, 48 years old this year. After graduating from an electric power vocational college in the south in the late 80s, he has been working in a thermal power plant in the south.He started as an operator and has been the deputy director in charge of operation.A few years ago, when the country shut down small coal-fired thermal power plants, Wu Ping'an was diverted.

These days, those who have a relationship among the distribution personnel of the power plant will go to the electricity sales company, and those who have nothing to do can only follow the arrangement, randomly within the group.Wu Pingan belongs to the former, but unfortunately, he was on the wrong team; the vice president of the group with the best relationship with him was shuanggui, Wu Pingan fell into the clouds, and was assigned from the most popular department to the administrative department to do odd jobs. semi-retired status.

The problem is that Wu An'an is only 48. Even if he wants to go home and live a life of playing with cats, walking dogs and holding grandchildren, he must first have a grandson.

The point is that he doesn't even have a wife now, because of a licentious experience in the early years, Mrs. Wu took her children to say goodbye to him.The most amazing thing is that Mrs. Wu is a vengeful person, so that for so many years, Wu Ping'an's son would say three words every time he saw his father.

"You came."

"I don't have any pocket money."

"Oh well."

For his son and grandson, Wu Ping'an felt that there was no hope.So when he saw on the recruitment website that XX company was recruiting a thermal power plant director to work abroad, he thought he could give it a try.Wu Ping An thinks he still has two talents in being able to go from an operator to a deputy factory director.

On the third day after submitting his resume, Wu Ping'an received a call from Zhao Xin.After some polite greetings, Wu Anan introduced his working experience; Zhao Xin continued to fool around with the same rhetoric as before.

As a layman, Zhao Xin is most concerned about the cost of the power plant.

"Mr. Wu, if it is two power plants with an installed capacity of 60 megawatts, what is the total investment required?"

"It depends on the labor now. The price of the equipment is actually very easy to calculate. Let me think about it, it is between 5 million and 5.5 million." Wu Pingan laid an ambush, and he said tens of millions more.

"Then you can provide a copy of the cost and personnel requirements of a 60-megawatt thermal power plant according to my requirements." Zhao Xin actually has this requirement for every selected candidate. He needs to know how many people he wants to fool. Row.

"How many days?"

"Can two days be enough?"

"No problem." Wu Pingan pretended to ponder for a while, but he was almost happy in his heart. He kept a lot of information about the previous power plant.

Two days later, Zhao Xin got the quotations and personnel lists submitted by the seven candidates, and he found that the most detailed one was Wu Anan's; in addition to the previously requested content, this person also wrote a brief project design plan.

Come on, it's you!Zhao Xin asked people to contact Wu Pingan immediately to come to the capital for an interview, and he took care of air tickets and accommodation.

Just like the nine people in the education department back then, when Wu Anan heard this, he thought to himself that this is really rich, a big company!Maybe after this trip, the pension for the rest of my life will be settled.

After arriving in the capital, Zhao Xin met with Wu An'an, negotiated the treatment, and asked him to sign the contract.As the person in charge of the power project, Wu Anan currently has three things to do, recruiting personnel, ordering equipment, project planning and engineering construction plan.

In terms of personnel, Zhao Xin requested that only the backbone of the necessary positions be recruited, and pure labor was not used.All personnel are required to be in place within three months, and then go through the formalities to go abroad.

Wu Anan said that it is easy to recruit people, not to mention other places, in the area where he was before, there were three or four small thermal power plants shut down, and many people were not satisfied with the work arrangements after the diversion.Moreover, the automation of power plant equipment is very high now, and it is enough for a small thermal power plant to support 100 people.

Wu Anan was in charge of the power plant. Zhao Xin waited for another two days until all the things he bought this time arrived, and then he set off on his way home.After he returned to Beihai Town, he called Zhao Liang to his home that night.

As soon as Zhao Liang entered the door, he saw the pedal sewing machine in the room, and said in surprise: "I'll go, this thing is still for sale!" He looked at the label again, and it turned out to be the trapeze brand.

"More than 200 ones, very cheap."

"Oh, my house used to have tickets to buy it. It's really nostalgic!" Zhao Liang caressed the shiny black body and stepped on the pedals underneath, as if returning to his childhood.

Zhao Xin said with a smile: "I think that now every woman in Beihai Town is helping to sew military uniforms. The first thing I did after returning home was to buy [-] sets. How about it? Can it be imitated?"

Zhao Liang opened the cover, lifted the fuselage, looked back and forth, and said, "It's not a big problem. The shell and frame wheels are all cast iron parts, and sanding is enough; the small parts of the machine head can be made directly with a lathe."

He immediately looked up at Zhao Xin and asked, "Where are you going to sell it in the future?"

Zhao Xindao: "Island, Daiqing, and foreigners can be sold anywhere. But first we have to satisfy ourselves. You should make a copy first and see how much the cost can be, and then you can set a price."

Zhao Liang asked, "Are there any sewing machines in Europe now?"

Zhao Xindao: "It will be three years before there will be a hand-cranked style."

Zhao Liang sat down and lit a cigarette and asked, "Is the power plant done?"

"Well, I just recruited a factory manager, and let him take care of the rest. I guess, it will be good if it is completed and put into production in two years."

"Where do you plan to build the thermal power plant?" Zhao Liang is in charge of the entire industrial sector, and he cares more about the location of the power plant than anyone else.The shorter the transmission line, the less energy is lost along the way.

"I'm thinking of setting it in the valley southeast of the factory area, so that the coal from Ezo can be sent directly to the power plant, and the second is to reduce pollution. But in this way, road construction is imperative. "

Zhao Xin thought and thought, and he decided to let the survey and design of the military port be released later, and let Pereira lead people to finish the road design of the industrial zone first.

After talking about the business, the two chatted for a while and then broke up.Zhao Xin also has to go to bed early, and he will go to Fuldan City tomorrow to check the spring plowing and the new settlements, and take a look at the exercise site.

Since it was leap July last year, the first month of this year has just passed, the snow and ice on the fields have gradually melted, and the road to Fuerdan City has become easier to walk.At this time, Zhao Xin lost those scruples, and set off in a large truck the next morning with Sheng Haizhou and others and a security squad.As for Lin Ziping's surveying and mapping team, he had already gone to Fuldan City a week ago.

Since the beginning of February this year, preparations for farming have begun in Beihai Town.As in previous years, tractors and manpower were first used to clear the snow to accelerate the recovery of ground temperature.

Last year, because the road from Beihai Town to Fuldan City was connected, the traffic was convenient.So more than 2 people joined the battle, and [-] mu of wasteland was reclaimed north of Fuerdan City.

The agricultural unit has nothing else to do this winter, except for training newcomers, and overhauling machinery every day.Manzao, Mosuke and other agricultural machinery drivers love these tractors like eyeballs, and they have to overhaul them if they feel that there is a small problem, so there is no equipment left behind after the start of spring plowing.

Since the tractor Zhao Xin ordered had not yet been delivered, the previous machinery was not enough, so each farmer tied the logs more than ten meters long with ropes, and used horse-drawn horses to disperse the snow in the fields.

Spring plowing is the same as harvesting. It is necessary to compete for the right time, and the sowing is late. When the rainy season arrives, the crops will be completely destroyed.The farmers in each family did not have those taboos, and all men and women joined the battle.

The women are especially hard. Before dawn, they have to get up to make breakfast, and then go to work with the men at home with dry food. After a busy day, they have to cook and do manual work before going to bed in order to earn more for the family.

After the black soil in the field has melted, it is time to prepare the ground for sowing.If the tractor can't take care of it, people will use the way of pulling horses.Even though the farmland water conservancy has been overhauled, the black soil after melting is like gum, which is extremely sticky; after a person drags the plow and walks on it for a while, there will be two catties of mud on the soles of the shoes, and it is difficult to take a step.Sometimes the horse will sink the horse's leg into the field mouse hole, and if it is not careful, the leg will be broken and injured.

These originally very poor farmers felt sorry for the shoes on their feet, so many of them stepped barefoot on the knee-deep black soil, dragging the iron plow made by the workshop from south to north, and sprinkled sweat all over the ground.

Last autumn, Zhu Dagui's family moved from Beihai Town to a settlement village north of Fuldan City, and his son's studies were also interrupted. However, this year Fuldan City will open another school, and school will start after the spring plowing.

Before that, Zhu Dagui had been working as a handyman, including building roads, digging ditches, and harvesting wheat in autumn. He was also a team leader in a residential community.After arriving at the new settlement, he was promoted to the village head, and now he is coordinating and arranging the spring plowing affairs in the group in coordination with the civil affairs.

After the spring plowing began, the Civil Affairs Bureau also informed the villages to go outside Fuerdan City to pull fertilizer.Zhu Dagui, who was at a loss, took his people to the place with a cart, only to realize that there are so many specialties in making fertilizer, which opened his eyes.

Different from previous years, this year Beihai Town and Fuldan City each set up a fertilizer production group, which is responsible for the production of refined organic fertilizer.The equipment was bought by Zhao Xin last year. It is not expensive and has a simple structure.Although there are many types of equipment, the workshop has imitated a set after winter; the original is currently being used in Fuldan City, and the imitation is being used in Beihai Town.The daily production capacity of the whole set of equipment can reach up to 20 tons.

The fertilizer making group is currently working in three shifts, with 24 hours non-stop.The workers first put the organic fertilizer that has been fermented for one winter into the pulverizer for crushing, and then mix it with dry soil in proportion and put it into the mixer for stirring. With the high-speed rotation of the auger blades, the steaming granular fertilizer passes through The outlet sieve is extruded into shape; finally, it is made into granules through a granulator and dried for packaging.

After the bags of fertilizer are transported to the field, the tractor drives the fertilization and seeding machine to spread the prepared organic manure in the plowed soil, and then sow the wheat seeds.According to Minzheng's spring plowing plan, all sowing work must be completed by the end of March.

According to Zhu Dagui's words, this land is really happy to grow!Although tiring is a bit tiring, but when I think of the yield of more than 600 catties per mu during the wheat harvest last year, it is really more promising as I work harder.

According to the land distribution policy of Beihai Town, Zhu Dagui's family has been in Beihai Town for one full year, and the land can be divided.Based on the calculation of the harvest of 6000 catties per mu, he can sow [-] catties of wheat on [-] mu.After deducting the cost of water conservancy, fertilizer and agricultural machinery, there are still more than [-] catties of wheat left, which is really a dream come true.

For these farmers who have faced the loess all their lives and turned their backs to the sky, and finally had to leave their hometowns, what could be more exciting than acquiring a piece of good land?

After dinner, the night fell, the smoke cleared from every house in the village, and a thin crescent moon hung on the treetops.

"Father, what are you being so silly about? I'll wake up Xiaoshun in a while." Zhu Chen wiped the needle awl from the sole of his shoe into his hair a few times, and gave Zhu Dagui a white look.

The woman is making cloth shoes with thousand layers of soles, which will be purchased by the civil affairs bureau after they are finished.The waste cloth and tools for making shoes are all provided by the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the size of cloth shoes is also standard.

The production of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles generally goes through seven processes.Beat the paste, shell the shell, make shoe samples, fit the sole, put on the upper, and finally wrap the edge.After these processes, a pair of durable, beautiful and elegant mille-soled cloth shoes is completed.

If it weren't for the busy spring plowing, Zhu Dagui's wife could make a pair in two or three days.The OEM fee for each pair of thousand-layer-soled cloth shoes is [-] cents, and the clothing is [-] cents; after a month, I can earn two silver dollars.

Zhu Dagui was lying on the kang, smoking a dry cigarette, put away the smirk on his face, and tucked the quilt for his sleeping son.Then he turned slightly sideways, leaned on his head with one hand, and continued to hold the pipe with the other hand, and said to his wife, "I think, this year's autumn harvest has sold grain, and our family will also start a new house. This is a big place outside the customs. A few days ago, I heard from Chun that from now on, every family will allocate the land to build a house, what is the name of the house, the homestead, yes, that’s the name.”

"Did you ask how much land you can build a house on?"

Zhu Dagui stretched out four fingers and said, "Chunlai is [-] square meters per house."

Zhu Chen thought for a while, and said with surprise on his face: "Four hundred? Not even one mu of land?"

Thanks to the persistence of literacy classes and law-enhancing activities, most of the refugees who have been here for more than a year in Beihai Town now know how big a square meter is.

Zhu Dagui knocked the cigarette pouch lightly on the edge of the bed, turned around and said, "What do you know, four hundred square meters can build a two-story wooden building with a small courtyard!"

Zhu Chen asked puzzledly: "The building? What building?"

Zhu Dagui gestured with a pipe, and said: "There are three main rooms on the first floor, and three main rooms on the second floor. There are two side rooms, which are no worse than the big courtyard."

The woman sewed the last few stitches, put away the needlework and the finished clothes, and then undressed and went to bed.After she turned off the lantern, she got under the quilt and suddenly asked Zhu Dagui, "His father, I heard that Chunlai was a husband (eunuch) before Chunlai?"

Zhu Dagui said: "What's wrong with my husband? That boy is also a poor man, hey~~ he can't even get a wife. I heard that the emperor served tea, but the water was too hot. When the emperor got angry, he gave him a marriage."

The woman said: "Why is the emperor so narrow-minded?"

Zhu Dagui was dissatisfied and said: "What are you talking about, the emperor is also something we can talk about? Go to sleep, you still have work tomorrow."
