After the distinguished guests who came to watch the ceremony symbolically dug a few shovels on the foundation of the line, the embankment construction project in Kunshan County was officially announced.

As a result, when the tasks were assigned, the guests were eye-opening again.

I saw that the gentry who served as the section chief, after receiving today's task, did not need to form a whole team or give orders on the spot, but only let people waving their respective section flags and went in different directions.

And those people of Kunshan, who looked messy, actually followed the banners of each section, and they walked away in a blink of an eye!

This in turn turned the perception of the guests on its head. They originally thought that without whips and clubs, they would not want to make the rabble obey the commands.

It is simply unimaginable that a flag like this can make the people follow in an orderly manner.

That's forty or fifty flags!

How, exactly?

The answer is to combine the traditional Lijia system with the segmented responsibility system after 400 years, thus creating the effect that one plus one is greater than two.

In the previous month, Zhao Hao asked Zhao Shouzheng to divide the 62-mile-long river embankment into four districts and 48 sections, each section had a section chief, and each section chief led ten to twelve lieutenant chiefs.

There were also ten lieutenant commanders under each lieutenant commander, who assisted him in commanding one hundred and ten people.

In this way, the responsibilities are clear, and everyone knows who they are responsible for; Each person can command up to ten people, which can minimize prevarication, confusion and empty consumption.

After a month of running-in, Zhao Shouzheng's quasi-military management system can basically be done like an arm.

As long as the headquarters assigns different tasks to each section commander one day in advance, the next day the people will know what they should do.

In this way, labor efficiency can be greatly improved, and the command headquarters can spare time to focus on the control of project quality, rather than on coordinating and commanding.

But even if the guests copy it back, the effect will be greatly reduced, or even useless.

Because any form of organization is just an objective flesh and blood body, if you want it to obey the command to the letter, and even exert its subjective initiative, you must also inject soul into it.

From Zhao Shouzheng living on the embankment, taking the lead in fighting floods and rescuing people, to making every effort to ensure the lives of the victims and not starving to death...... Everything is to make the people of Kunshan feel that the new county master really cares about them and is really willing to give everything for Kunshan.

Only when such recognition is established will the common people take the wishes of those in power as their own, and will be willing to obey you, support you, act according to your orders, and take the initiative to move towards the goals you have set.

The so-called 'those who are in the same boat through thick and thin prosper, and those who want the same up and down win' is also.

How many people can do it today?

~~

When the cement concrete appeared, and the embankment in January was no longer a luxury, the enthusiasm of the people was instantly detonated, and the people began to dig the foundation, sift the river sand, and pull the stones, and the entire embankment was in full swing.

Guests can finally surround the wall and have a good look.

Even the shareholders of Jiangnan Company only learned about the existence of cement and concrete yesterday, and at the first board meeting of the company, they passed the resolution to open a wholly-owned subsidiary, 'Jiangnan Building Materials Company', and appointed Hua Bozhen as chairman and general manager.

So for the first time, shareholders saw concrete in person.

They struck it with a hammer, and finally realized the terrifying solidity of rubble concrete.

Especially when they heard that the walls made of cement concrete would harden and stick in less than a day, they all hissed and gasped.

You must know that glutinous rice mortar usually takes more than ten days to harden, while it takes a year to really work.

That is to say, after repairing the embankment with cement, the speed can be accelerated by at least ten times, and all of them surrounded Hua Bozhen, chairman of Jiangnan Building Materials Company, and asked excitedly about the long and short questions.

The cement concrete, which has both the ugliness and power of industry, deeply impacts everyone's cognition. Even if you don't like this unaesthetic thing, you have to admit that it is the perfect building material that will change the world.

"Brother Hua, if you build a city with this concrete, wouldn't it be indestructible?" Chen Tongzhi asked curiously.

"Of course, you can't blow it up with a few hundred pounds of gunpowder." Hua Bozhen replied proudly. The black powder was silent and wept when he heard this, and the yellow powder was irritable and wanted to explode.

The crowd gasped and asked, "Then how did this thing come to be?" ”

"It's a confidential company." Hua Bozhen smiled and said, "I won't pass it on." ”

"Then it's okay to sell us a little, right?" The guest asked again.

"I'm sorry, at present, the company's production capacity is limited, and we can only fully supply Kunshan." Hua Bozhen said lightly: "If you are interested, you can apply first, and then ship the goods after our production capacity goes up." ”

"And what about the price?"

"A bag of silver for one tael, a bag of sixty pounds." I heard Hua Bozhen say in a deep voice: "This three-zhang long wall has ten bags of cement. ”

Some knowledgeable people calculated the price of glutinous rice mortar, and the result was that it was twice as expensive.

Now there was another gasp.

The new mortar, which is more than ten times faster than glutinous rice mortar and only half the price, is usually called 'invincible'!

"Glutinous rice mortar is going to be eliminated." The guests finally believed that with the help of miraculous cement, Kunshan County could really build a solid stone embankment before the arrival of the flood.

Looking at the people who were full of sighs, Hua Bozhen secretly said in her heart, in fact, the cost of a bag of cement is not even ten cents.

What kind of profiteering is this?

As a result, everyone thought that Jiangnan Company was doing charity......

Could it be that Zhao Gongzi kept saying that I didn't do business to make money. Do you really believe?

It's a long life.

Kunshan County was busy, and the guests were naturally not bothered, so they got on the boat directly on the Xiaoli River and left one after another.

Before boarding the boat, they saw women, children, elderly people, and half-grown children in Kunshan, rowing all kinds of boats to bring water and food to the embankment.

Fortunately, they have been shocked too much today, and they are already a little numb.

Everyone told Zhao Shouzheng that after the embankment was completed, they must be invited to open their eyes again.

Zhao Erye naturally agreed, and when he parted, he also gave a bag of cement as a souvenir.

Naturally, the guests were very happy, and said that they could go back and study it well.

There's just one thing they can't figure out. Why is it written 'inedible' on the sack?

Could it be that there will be people in this world who can't eat cement? Haha, that's ridiculous.

Listening to the discussion of the guests, a certain river prime minister, who did not want to show his face, felt that he had been hit hard by 100,000 points.

I could only eat a piece of primary-set concrete to dissipate the depression in my heart.

ps. Fourth, ask for a monthly pass!! I've been uncomfortable with my eyes today, and I don't know if I can write it again, so I'll see it tomorrow.
