Chapter 2758
The next morning, shortly after Baikes and his son woke up from their sleep, they heard a sharp whistle coming from a nearby construction site. This meant that it was almost time to start work, and they reminded the workers to enter the construction site as soon as possible.
There are more than a hundred shacks and dozens of construction tents erected on the hillside near the construction site. This is the temporary residence of the workers. There is also a collective canteen that provides the workers with three meals a day, and the benefits are pretty good. Except for a few people who live nearby, most of the people's food and accommodation are provided in temporary residences.
The working hours at the construction site are from Chen hour to Xu hour every day, and there is a whistle as a signal. When workers go to and from work, they need to go to the attendance box at the construction site management office to read the sign as a reference for attendance.
In order to facilitate management and command, thirty to fifty people are usually divided into teams on the construction site. Each construction team has a corresponding attendance box, which is hung on the wall outside the gate of the construction site. There are rows of nails nailed to the bottom of the box, and the number plates corresponding to each migrant worker are hung. The wooden number plates have different colors on both sides. One side is red and the other is blue with paint.
The attendance box is opened before starting work, and is closed and locked when the time is up, and is not reopened until work is over. Civil servants turn their number plates in red when they go to work, and turn them in blue when they leave work. Those who are late, leave early, or are absent from work will be exposed in the attendance statistics, and their wages will be deducted accordingly.
Although this kind of attendance system is very primitive, its use cost is extremely low. It only requires two people to open and close the box every day, supervise the turning of cards, and record the attendance status. And it can be used in far more than construction sites. In the past few years, it has been widely used in various units under Haihan's rule, and the management effect is very significant.
Although the literacy rate of civilians on hydropower station construction sites is very low, it is not difficult to get them to remember their corresponding number plates, and the card-turn attendance check-in operation is simple and easy to promote.
All labor tools on the construction site are basically provided by the government, and there is no need for civilians to prepare their own. However, the distribution and collection of these tools are all completed on the construction site, and damaged tools need to be replaced with new ones at the construction site management office to reduce the damage and loss of tools.
The foreman of each construction team will receive tasks from the construction site headquarters and then lead the team to implement them. However, the current construction content is not too technical at all. It basically involves continuous excavation according to the designated area. To dig a new waterway on the river bank to divert the Xin'an River away, the amount of earth and stone required to be excavated is naturally an astonishing astronomical figure. It is expected that this project will not be completed until next year.
Bai Letong was not familiar with the affairs on the construction site. This was the first time for him to understand the operation process and management system of the construction project in such detail, and he felt very strange.
"Letong, how do you feel after staying here for two days?" Taking advantage of the lunch break, Bai Kesi gave his son another test question.
Bai Letong thought: "I think that being able to implement such a large-scale project in this ravine far away from the city is a manifestation of our Haihan's strong national power. And the steady advancement of this project is due to the fact that we have Sound construction plan, management system and logistics support system”
"That's right." Baikes nodded slightly: "It is these factors you mentioned that ensure that our country has strong execution capabilities in engineering construction. No matter what environment it is in, it can achieve all the goals set by the Executive Committee. Target.”
In the afternoon of the same day, Bai Kesi and his party completed their inspection at the hydropower station construction site and returned to Jiande County by boat. They will rest here for one night before setting off back to Hangzhou at dawn.
It was getting dim the next day, and Bai Kesi and his party set off from Jiande. The return journey was smooth sailing, and the dozens of miles of waterway in Qililong were behind us in an instant. When it gets dark, we have arrived in Hangzhou. When Tao Hongfang and others heard that Bai Letong was back, they took the initiative to look for him. Everyone was separated for a few days, and each had a lot of news to talk about.
Bai Letong first told the general situation of the inspection trip, and inevitably described in detail the various beautiful mountains and rivers in the upper reaches of the Fuchun River, which made Tao Hongfang and others envious. On the contrary, the local inspection content in Jiande County did not attract much attention. After all, the projects settled there were all industrial projects, and Tao Hongfang and others were not engaged in work in this field, so their interest in it was naturally mediocre. I can't personally feel the visual impact brought by the large-scale infrastructure project site.
Although Tao Hongfang and others stayed in Hangzhou, Shi Diwen had not arranged new jobs for them yet, so he also made time to travel around Hangzhou for a few days. I visited some of the cultural sights I saw.
Bai Letong asked: "You are so leisurely, why hasn't the Japanese envoy arrived in Hangzhou yet?"
Tao Hongfang shook his head and said: "Ha Jianyi sent a telegram from Zhoushan yesterday, saying that the Japanese have not finished their errands and may have to wait two or three days before setting off."
Since these parties have stayed in Hangzhou, they will definitely participate in the follow-up negotiations between Haihan and the Japanese shogunate. Many days have passed since they arrived in Zhoushan, and Zengshan Masari is still staying there. It seems that the other party is not as urgent as they thought before.
Ning Zijing said: "One more thing is that Zhu Zian has received a new appointment and will serve as the deputy director of the Special Liaison Office. This organization is directly affiliated with the Donghai Region Management Committee. It has a bright future!"< br>
When Bai Letong heard this, he quickly congratulated Zhu Zian.
Zhu Zian returned the greeting and said: "I have little talent and little knowledge, so it is a good fortune that I can be reused by Lord Shi. From now on, I will serve as an official in the same court as all of you. I hope that you can give me generous advice as before!"
Zhu Zian traveled overseas during this trip. After returning, he originally wanted to apply to study abroad in Sanya, but this obviously did not meet the purpose of recruiting him in the Donghai Region.
Shi Diwen arranged for him to make his debut in the provincial imperial examination held in the Donghai Region, and immediately joined the mission overseas after the provincial examination was announced, in order to make him famous so that he could be used next. But if Zhu Zian goes to Sanya to study abroad, it can take as short as a year and a half, or as long as three to five years. Even if he has learned a lot by then, the reputation of being a descendant of the previous royal family has long since lost its popularity and is of no use value. It will also be greatly discounted.
Shi Diwen didn't want to let Zhu Zian leave, so he naturally wanted to arrange an official position for him as soon as possible. However, regarding this point, Shi Diwen had already planned. The job of this special liaison office was actually to deal with local officials of the previous dynasty and assist in completing the handover of governance. With Zhu Zian's special status, he was the right professional counterpart to engage in this kind of work.
