Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Farm
Why is the annual work conference in Kunshan County relaxed and happy, and the years are quiet?
That's because someone is carrying the weight for them.
On Xitang Street, the most prosperous street in the county, stands a new three-story building, which is the office building of the Kunshan Development Company.
Looking at the appearance, it is also a pink wall and a horse head wall, which is very similar to the common Jiangnan pavilions, but in fact, it is just the appearance.
It is the world's first three-storey brick and concrete building, and it is built in a completely different way. Before installing the doors and windows, not a single piece of wood was used!
When this building was built, the people of Kunshan watched every day. After digging the foundation, the workers laid the foundation with stones and concrete, and then built the frame of the house with bamboo reinforced concrete. Once the structure was solid, the walls were built with grey bricks, the floor slabs were paved with custom-sized prefabricated panels, and the shell of the one-story building was built.
Then the workers used scaffolding to build it layer by layer, as simple as a child building a toy, but it looked square and ugly.
But wait for the masons to paint the three floors with white ash, hang the tiles, and outline the lines. After the carpenters installed beautiful windows and magnificent facades, they suddenly looked as good as the high-rise buildings that took ten times as much time to build.
No, this one seems to look better, because it has more spacious doors and windows, and the windows are inlaid with expensive glass. When the sun rises, the glass windows reflect thousands of golden rays, and it becomes the most beautiful boy on the whole street.
~~
In fact, Zhao Hao is not satisfied with this superficial building, in his opinion, a building without water supply and toilets is simply anti-human.
At this time, he was sitting in the large conference room on the third floor, and he didn't dare to drink more water, otherwise he would have to go downstairs to the courtyard to go to the toilet.
This is completely a show off by Gu Dadong, who loves high-rise buildings, regardless of the actual situation. If it weren't for Zhao Hao to stop him, this old man who built the tallest tower in the county would have planned to build a seven-story building.
'There's no elevator, isn't it sick to live on seven floors?' Zhao Gongzi thought a little distractedly.
Across the conference table, Gu Dadong, who didn't know that he was disliked, was facing a half-wall-sized map of Kunshan, and spit to Zhao Gongzi, President Jiang, and the company's directors to explain this year's grand plan.
"In accordance with the spirit of Gongzi's instructions, after repeated research and discussion, we divided the county's 600,000 mu of land into 100 farms of similar size." Gu Dadong pointed to the scientific numbers on the map and said, "Each number from 1 to 100 represents a farm. Each farm will have a field manager, led by five technicians, who will plan and guide the production, water conservancy, pest control and other related matters of the 6,000 acres of land on the farm. ”
Zhao Hao came back to his senses and interjected and asked, "How much labor is needed for 6,000 acres of land?" ”
"It's hard to say, because the whole family goes into battle when people farm." Dai Gao, general manager of Kunkaisi, hurriedly replied: "A family of five can probably take care of ten acres of land, and no matter how much it is, it can't be intensively cultivated." ”
A family of five is also the most common family size in Daming. Including one or two elderly people, one or two couples. In addition, minors are not counted in the account.
Zhao Hao touched his chin and pondered for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to pick up the tea cup on the table and take a sip. When it came to his mouth, he remembered something and put it down.
"That's about 600 households, and an average of one person manages 100 households and 1,000 acres, which is really not easy." He couldn't help but make fun of Dai Gao and said: "I see that you are very happy to give the staff quota to the Ministry of Construction and Water Resources, why are you so stingy with the farm management department?" ”
"Hehe, don't blame Childe, this can't be helped. According to your requirements, the technician must be literate, understand agricultural technology, be diligent and willing to endure hardships. The whole county can't afford to meet the 600 people, and now half of the places are not filled. Dai Gao said with a wry smile.
"That's right." Zhao Hao nodded, he has been a little sensitive recently. The reason is that Zhao Gongzi's grand introduction of the employee rank system, as expected, is not very popular with the management of various companies.
They were reprimanded by Zhao Hao at that time, and no one dared to bother, but after they went back, they changed their ways to exploit loopholes.
For example, all rough and energetic work is done by hiring short-term workers from the dental department to reduce the number of regular workers as much as possible.
For example, Kun Kaisi went to Chongming and Shanghai to work, and asked the county to levy and pay people to work for free......
What's more, in order to save a year of seniority, he actually terminated the contract with all the employees, and then re-contracted, so that all of them can be counted as first-class.
Fortunately, the Inspection and Supervision Committee has dispatched agencies in each company, and long before the establishment of the Inspection and Supervision Committee, Zhao Gongzi consciously laid out eyeliner in each company...... Or 'secret ombudsman'. Under the combination of light and dark, the wind and grass of the subordinate companies cannot be hidden from his ears and eyes.
But Zhao Hao didn't lift the lid. Because his grandfather told him that in addition to the combination of grace and power, there is also a very important point in the art of the emperor, that is, not to let himself stand on the opposite side of the majority. Even if you do think differently than most people think, keep your attitude hidden.
Otherwise, what awaits you is the collective yang and yin violations, and the inevitable loss of prestige.
Moreover, Zhao Hao also expected that the implementation would be discounted, after all, since ancient times, there has been no policy that has been implemented at the grassroots level. So he deliberately left room for it, and now the small actions of these guys are still within his tolerance......
Take advantage of these small actions as a handle and save them for later.
~~
Waiting for Zhao Gongzi to end his habitual distraction, he said to Dai Gao: "You will top it first, and in the second half of the year at most, I will guarantee to give you all agricultural technicians." ”
"Okay, Childe!" Dai Gao was overjoyed when he heard this.
"However, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the most important thing at the moment is to start work quickly and rush to spring sowing." Zhao Hao leaned back in his chair and asked, "According to your statement, it takes 60,000 hired farmers to serve these 600,000 acres of land. Are there so many people in Kunshan? ”
According to the county's household registration, there are only 81,043 households in Kunshan, with 132828 people. This number is fake and crazy, if this is the case, Kunshan County's family Dink, there will be a lot of singles.
The reason why this is so is because in the past, taxes were paid by the imperial court on a household-by-household basis. The more people in the family are registered, the more taxes they will pay. This has resulted in large-scale population concealment. Many people don't go to the household registration when they are old, and even more directly report to the 'end of the household', and the whole family becomes the living dead.
Many officials have been parents for several years, and they don't know how many people they have. So do you know? Yes.
That is the scribes, these knife and pen officials who have been eating in the local yamen of their hometown for generations, have a book of accounts in private, and remember the population of the county's acres clearly. This is the guy they eat, so naturally they won't show it.
But the county's lieutenant chiefs were all bought by Kunkaisi last year, and they had already reported their respective household registrations to 1510.
Finally, the county has a total of 63,145 households and 308721 people. The number of households is nearly 20,000 fewer than the official figure, but the population is more than doubled.
Unfortunately, even so, there is still not enough labor.
ps. It's gone tonight, hurry up and go to sleep.
