Chapter 249: Chongkaisi
Chongming is surrounded by rivers on three sides, one is facing the sea, the islanders are accompanied by the water, and the water is their life.
Especially during the typhoon season, strong winds can encroach on hundreds of acres of sandbar during the day and night. In such a day and night, year after year, it is no wonder that the sandbanks of Chongming will divide and merge and gather and disperse.
The scattered and collapsed sandbars, no matter how large they are, cannot support the livelihood of the people. Only a large area of contiguous land is the basis for people to thrive.
Although the Great Prophecy told Zhao Hao that starting from the Longwan period, Chongming would end the crazy collapse period. A number of sandbanks will gradually be connected into a piece, and a few decades later, there will be the prototype of Chongming Island in the future.
But the Great Prophecy also told Zhao Hao that it was not enough to rely on God to reward food. The reason why Chongming can become the third largest island in the country in later generations is inseparable from the countless embankments and seawalls built by generations of officials and gentry and ordinary people in the spirit of moving mountains.
In fact, from the middle of Wanli, large-scale construction of sea ponds began.
After 400 years, the people of Chongming fought against the tide, built many sea ponds, and were destroyed by the tide many times.
It was not until the end of the 20th century that the concrete embankment around the island was built, as well as a complete set of water conservancy projects, that Chongming was flooded.
Zhao Hao is self-sufficient, although there is cement of increasingly stable quality. However, the current level of engineering is far from reaching the point of once and for all.
Moreover, Chongming is about to enter a period of violent expansion. You can't just take care of the land inside the pond because of choking, and don't want the tidal flats newly silted out of the embankment, right? With a little transformation, it can become a place of ointment.
Therefore, it is inevitable that every ten or twenty years, a new sea pond will be built outside the embankment, so as to continuously expand the area of Chongming.
Therefore, Zhao Hao suggested the establishment of a special 'Chongming Development Company' to be responsible for the 'collapse and siltation' of the entire Chongming Island for a long time.
~~
"Chongming Development Company?" Chen Huaixiu repeated and asked softly: "It seems that there is a Kunshan development company in Kunshan." ”
"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded, pointed at Jiang Xueying, and said, "The younger sister of the Jiang family is the president of Jiangnan Company. The company basically has the final say, and she will introduce the specific situation to you. ”
"My brother is used to being the shopkeeper." Jiang Xue Yingqiao's face was slightly red, but she did not deny her position.
Chen Huaixiu's mouth opened slightly when he heard this, and he was surprised. She always thought that this Miss Jiang was Zhao Hao's cousin and other ladies.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly weak little girl was actually the general manager of Jiangnan Company.
Chen Huaixiu couldn't help but be in awe and greeted Jiang Xue again. "It's really disrespectful, I didn't expect my sister to be so capable."
"The helper's sister is more capable." Jiang Xue returned the salute and explained the functions of the development company to Chen Huaixiu.
"The development company is committed to the construction of local infrastructure, including but not limited to the design and construction of various livelihood projects such as water conservancy, bridges, roads, houses, water supply and sewerage."
"Kunshan Development Company, the first local infrastructure company under the group, relying on the group's brother enterprise - Jiangnan Building Materials Company, in two months of construction, completed the construction of nearly 150 miles of rubble concrete embankment, and withstood the test of typhoon. The performance is even better than that of traditional stone ponds, and our cost is only half of that of traditional stone ponds, but the construction speed is more than ten times that of them! ”
Jiang Xueying's narration style is not as incendiary as Zhao Hao, but it is better to be calm and objective. Speaking with detailed data, it actually sounds more credible.
Chen Huaixiu had seen the mediocre-looking, but sturdy and tall embankment with his own eyes. I also know that it was completed by the people of Kunshan within a month.
At that time, she imagined how good it would be if such a miracle could happen in Chongming.
Unexpectedly, a miracle was about to come in Chongming in a blink of an eye.
Now she couldn't care about being reserved and vigilant anymore, as soon as she grabbed Jiang Xueying's hand, she said excitedly: "Sister, tell me quickly, what should we do in Chongming?" ”
"As my brother suggested, Chongming can also follow the Kunshan model, with Chongkaisi as the operating entity of the entire project, responsible for the water conservancy infrastructure of the entire Chongming."
"The specific share distribution can refer to the way of Kunkaisi, and of course, it must also adapt to the specific situation." Jiang Xueying had a vague smile on her face and continued to explain:
"The sister of the helper naturally understands that shareholders must invest capital first, so that they can enjoy a steady stream of income in the future."
"That's nature." Chen Huaixiu bowed his head and said, "I don't know how much capital we have to pay?" ”
"There is no need for anything, all the cost of money and food, including cement and stone and other building materials, are paid by Jiangnan Company." Jiang Xueying said to Chen Huaixiu:
"As for the Sand Boat Gang, it is natural to provide manpower for repairing the embankment."
"How many people?" Chen Huaixiu asked tightly.
"Yesterday, I calculated with my brother Kuang that the first phase of the project will start at the end of October and end in February next year. It is necessary to build about 150 miles of sea ponds, so that the collapse can basically be stopped. Jiang Xueying replied softly.
Chongming Island is generally showing a trend of 'rising in the north and collapsing in the south', so it has solved the urgent need in the south and basically stabilized the territory.
Chen Huaixiu nodded, and silently estimated in his heart that this length could surround the entire Sansha for more than that. If you want to finish it in four months, even with the help of cement, the amount of labor required is quite terrible.
And this is precisely where Chongming's destiny lies.
"How many people do you need to do this?" She asked, apprehensively.
"If you don't talk about 50,000 strong men, you need 50,000 small workers." Jiang Xueying replied: "The construction of the sea pond is more difficult than the river embankment, so more people are needed. ”
"This ......" Chen Huaixiu said with a sad face: "My sand boat gang is less than 10,000 people, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are less than 40,000 people. It's not enough. ”
"yes." Jin Xuezeng also helped: "At present, the entire Chongming is only 80,000 people. After deducting the old and the young who can't move, they will all be pulled to repair the sea pond, and at most they will get together 20,000 strong men and 30,000 small workers. ”
"Ahh Jiang Xueying's little face was full of surprise and said, "Chongming only has such a little people? ”
"Originally, there were more than 200,000 people counting black households. But as soon as Dongsha and Yao Liusha collapsed, and Chongmingwei of the salt field withdrew, they all left their hometowns and went to the interior to find a way to live. ”
Jin Xuezeng sighed and complained: "If the sea pond is not repaired for a day, the population will not be able to stop draining. But with such a small number of people, they can't build a sea pond, so they can only see that there are fewer and fewer people, and this day is simply impossible to live......"
Chen Huaixiu nodded thoughtfully.
"That's ......" Jiang Xue Ying thought about it: "Then Jiangnan Company still has to be responsible for recruiting a large number of workers." In this case, the company will have to take 60% of the shares. The remaining forty percent will be distributed by the county and your gang, is this plan acceptable? ”
"Our Sand Boat Gang, we really just need to help as many people as possible, and we don't have to worry about anything else?" Chen Huaixiu was a little incredulous.
Chen Huaixiu thought that the other party had the absolute initiative, and this time he would definitely open his mouth. Unexpectedly, he didn't want either money or land, just let them out.
And he actually gave back the shares of the Sand Boat Gang. You can't find this kind of cheap thing with a lantern, right?
"Of course." Jiang Xueying nodded affirmatively.
Chen Huaixiu couldn't care about being reserved anymore, and nodded heavily: "Then we will definitely agree." ”
