Chapter 342: I want to be a contractor
Xia Hongsheng and Ma Zhou talked in the room for a long time, and asked about the situation of the military academy during this time. Ma Zhou is now the most direct manager of the military academy, and what he does is what Xia Hongsheng should have done, but Xia Hongsheng has a lot of things, and he is too troublesome. Xia Hongsheng said that he simply asked Li Shimin for a will, so that Ma Zhou could be a veritable courtyard, he had real skills, and he also had feelings for the military academy, which was better than fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.
As soon as he said that, at noon, there were a few voices from the front door outside the door: "Report! The trainees asked to see each other silently! ”
Hearing that it was Cheng Chumo, Xia Hongsheng and Ma Zhou looked at each other and smiled, got up and went over to open the door, and there were Cheng Chumo and Li Yexu standing outside, as well as Fang Yiai and Du He.
"Huh? Love, Du He, you two ......" As soon as Xia Hongsheng opened the door, he was a little surprised when he saw Fang Yiai and Du He. Originally, these two people were the most standard gentlemen in this group of gentlemen, but at this time, it seems that there is still the original look, standing tall one by one, and the original vanity is gone, and there is more manly spirit.
"Hahahaha, Brother Sheng, let's know that those rumors are definitely not true, with your insidious thoughts, it is estimated that Cao Guogong can get you." Fang Yiai smiled and squeezed his eyes at Xia Hongsheng and said. Yes, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was still the original gentleman.
Li Yexu patted Fang Yiai on the shoulder: "How can you call someone, this is in the military academy, you have to call the Yuanzheng Lord!" ”
"Come on, sit down, how about this time. Can you adapt to it? Xia Hongsheng asked everyone to come in and sit down. Then he asked, "I've been dealing with the rebels for the past two months." You can't get out of here, how are you doing? ”
"It was really uncomfortable at first, but then it got better, and I felt that my life was much more fulfilling. I train every day and sweat all the time, and I see myself getting stronger, and I feel that this day is really alive until now. Cheng Chumo said with emotion.
Xia Hongsheng is probably able to understand their feelings, they are the sons of Xungui. Since childhood, they have been pampered and have what they want, so for them there is nothing worth fighting to be able to get, speaking of which, this is certainly the envy of many people, but it also makes them unable to experience the sense of accomplishment that they have achieved success through their own efforts. In addition, the glory of their parents is too prosperous, and under that kind of glory, their figures are completely buried, which will cause a lack of psychological self-worth. Make them feel that whatever they do is meaningless. Now, in the military academy, they have lost this aura that they did not rely on themselves. Putting aside the glory brought by their parents, relying on their own efforts to complete the training and obtain results, this sense of achievement makes them feel that their lives have meaning, thus giving them self-worth, so they will feel that their lives are fulfilled and they truly live as an independent person.
"It's good to get used to it." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "Soon the three-month training of new students will end, and there will be a test at that time, and the last hundred people will be eliminated, and they can only wait until next year's enrollment to take the exam, you all know this, right?" Xia Hongsheng said to everyone: "At that time, it will be the three who will preside over the exam, so you can't find any personal feelings, you have to train well, don't fall into those hundred people at that time." ”
"Don't worry, no matter how bad our brothers are, they won't fall into the last hundred!" Cheng Chumo slapped his thigh and said: "If you come in to the military academy and are eliminated again, then you don't need to say it brother, you can jump directly into the Wei River in shame!" ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded: "You just have to know in your heart, after passing the assessment, you can be regarded as a real student of the military academy, and you will start to study the courses taught by the military academy, I tell you, when the time comes, you will not only be able to learn all kinds of unheard of theoretical knowledge, but also listen to the personal lectures of those great generals, and learn their experience in leading troops to fight." Even His Majesty will come to teach in person, so you must grasp it and don't be eliminated. ”
"Understood, don't worry!" Li Yexu patted his chest and reassured, and then asked: "I said Master Yuanzheng, hurry up and tell us how you exterminated those chaotic parties." Some time ago, I heard that your assassination was almost dead at home, so a few of us ran to ask General Duan, but we were reprimanded and told not to inquire. ”
"I wasn't assassinated, I just played a bitter trick...... "Now that the chaotic party has been eliminated, these things are no longer a secret, Xia Hongsheng told everyone what he had done in the past two months, and made an appointment with Cheng Mo Ma Zhou and others to go out on a wild trip on the day of the mid-year holiday, and a few of them wanted to go back to the dormitory for a lunch break, so they left.
Xia Hongsheng and Ma Zhou went to the cafeteria to eat, Xia Hongsheng saw that everything was on the right track in the military academy, so he didn't stay longer, came out of the military academy and got into the carriage, went directly to the military machine workshop to call someone, and took it to Li Ke again.
When he arrived at Li Ke's house, Xia Hongsheng ordered the people in the military machine workshop to dismantle the stills, and then transported the remaining large barrels of oil to the military machine factory.
When he arrived at the military aircraft workshop, Xia Hongsheng wrote down in detail the method of distilling petroleum to extract gasoline and handed it to Yan Lide. The military aircraft workshop has its own test site and a separate soldier guard, and it is very heavily guarded. All the personnel in the military aircraft workshop were registered, and a piece of land was carved out not far from the military aircraft workshop to bring their families and relatives to settle down. At the same time, instructors from the spy battalion come to give them ideological and political education every week, all for the sake of secrecy. Xia Hongsheng even wanted to move the military aircraft workshop underground, but this proposal did not pass.
In the military aircraft workshop, Xia Hongsheng took the old kiln head and began to distill the oil again. At present, only the old kiln head can accurately control the temperature, so that the temperature in the still is not too high, so as to ensure that only the gasoline is distilled. Xia Hongsheng wanted to make a thermometer, but the mercury hadn't been made yet, so he hadn't done it yet.
Before he couldn't come out at home, Xia Hongsheng recalled the mercury thermometer in the study, remembering that the maximum temperature of the mercury thermometer was not very high, it seemed that the highest was only about 300 degrees, but it should be enough to distill gasoline.
At that time, I asked the housekeeper to go to Xuandu Temple, and found a monk who had refined Dan before to make mercury, but it was not yet done.
Xia Hongsheng stayed in the military aircraft workshop for a whole afternoon, and the gasoline was sealed, just waiting for Li Shimin to personally demonstrate how to use it and its effect.
Running back and forth this day, Xia Hongsheng felt that he had lived a fulfilling life, probably because he had been at home for too long in the past two months. When he came out of the military aircraft workshop, the sun had not yet set, and Xia Hongsheng didn't want to go back home too early, so he simply ran to Dongshi again. The burned houses in the East Market have been demolished, but it has not yet been rebuilt. Xia Hongsheng saw greed - yes, it was nothing else, it was greedy. If he can contract the project to rebuild the east and west markets, it will be a lot of income! If the operation is good, maybe a lot of money can be saved for running a university in Jingyang at once, even if it is less than half, one-third will not be less.
Moreover, if Ben Gongzi is allowed to complete these two cities, Ben Gongzi can make two pedestrian streets!
The more obscene Xia Hongsheng became, the more excited he became, and the two cities in the east and west had already emerged in front of him, and they had become prosperous in the commercial agglomeration area of Chang'an City. Yes, that's right, the streets are paved with cement, and then the shops on both sides of the street are built into the kind of antique buildings in later generations, which have both the traditional classical beauty of the Tang Dynasty and the sense of modernity, which can not be praised.
If you think about it, it's really not impossible. Our ready-made engineering team, now that the military academy is in full swing, aren't those who command the people to build buildings from Ben Gongzi's own engineering team? They are all people from Jingyang Zhuangzi, and now they have become masters, and they are all familiar hands! Moreover, the people on the side of the military academy have been built for so long, and they are already familiar with the road, and some of them can be selected as supervisors, so that they can free up their hands and take over the reconstruction of the east and west markets.
Xia Hongsheng said in his heart that this matter is not out of the question, the left and right are just a good word, as long as Li Shimin sees the advantages of doing this, as long as the advantages are big enough, Li Shimin will be tempted.
In fact, the benefits of contracting out these major projects outweigh the disadvantages, and as long as you put your mind to it, those disadvantages are not ineliminable. Contracting out the project is, first of all, to reduce the trouble of the imperial court. The imperial court only needs to contract out the project through bidding, who pays the right price, let whoever does, only need to strictly supervise in the process, and strictly review the acceptance, which can largely avoid the emergence of the tofu slag project, and at the same time, the imperial court has saved its worries and freed up its energy to do other things, and only needs to pay according to the price agreed before after the review and acceptance. In this way, it will cost less than the imperial court itself to pay for the recruitment of people. Don't you see that in the future generations, everyone will do this! The disadvantage is that it is easy to breed corruption, but this can be eliminated through the strict supervision and review of the imperial court.
The more Xia Hongsheng thought about it, the more excited he became, he immediately turned around and hurriedly got into the carriage, anxious to go back and sit down and think about it carefully, how to persuade Li Shimin to hand over the reconstruction of the two cities in the east and west to him. is not only to let him contract the reconstruction of the east and west markets, but also this way of contracting the project to private individuals for construction, Xia Hongsheng needs to go back and consider all aspects.
