The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Li Ming inspected the staff building construction site without stopping any longer.

He has many part-time jobs and many things to do, and no one at the staff building construction site will discuss his lack of overtime work.

What's more, he went to work at 5 o'clock in the morning some time ago. He arrived at the construction site on time every day, and worked at the main factory until 6 o'clock in the evening, and he would patrol at night from time to time.

A perfect model worker.

There was nothing to be busy with today, and there were no overtime meetings in the factory, so he went back to No. 95 Courtyard to rest.

I didn't go to the small courtyards in the west and east of the city. I went back to courtyard No. 95, mainly because others would appear in the east wing when they came out of the small world.

in a small world.

In the desert oasis he created himself, Li Ming was hanging out on a deck chair by the small lake.

After one month of business transformation, the small world has undergone some changes.

After collecting some stones and tailings, he expanded dozens of acres of filled land in the eastern area.

He dedicated this large area to planting flowers. He did not intend to encourage them to grow, and just let them grow naturally.

I often stay in the residential area on the middle platform and the desert oasis in the west, just two places, which are still a bit monotonous.

An area with flowers and grass can be used as a new resting area and can also provide flower sources for bees.

Honey has many uses.

He has also been collecting various peach trees recently. After gathering them together, he will build a peach garden to have some fun for himself.

Li Ming also never forgets the moso bamboo in the south.

It happened that the improved vegetable varieties he shared were growing well, and a production team in the south wrote him a letter of thanks.

He wrote back to the production team in the south and asked them to help send two moso bamboo roots to the capital.

Bamboo has a very strong vitality. If there are buds on the bamboo roots, bamboo will grow.

If planted in his little world, it would definitely survive.

Li Ming had previously asked Section Chief Chen Guodong to help purchase calves and lambs.

Still no calves were purchased, but 3 lambs were received.

Coupled with the newly caught roe deer, wild boars and other animals from the mountains, the southern livestock breeding area finally has not only small animals such as chickens and ducks left, but also some medium-sized animals.

He planned to hand over a large wild boar to the steel rolling mill every three months.

Even if he lives a prosperous life, he will not be suspected by others. At most, others will criticize him for not being diligent and thrifty.

Small mistakes are not big problems, just do some self-criticism a few times.

Li Ming looked at a large orchard in the east area. He originally planned to transport these naturally grown fruits as raw materials to a cannery to make canned fruits.

Nowadays, canneries cannot purchase fruits, and the sources of these fruits are unknown. They are not suitable for transportation and canned fruits, and can only be stored as dried fruits.

Suddenly, he flashed back to the east wing.

Qin Huairu came into the house carrying a kettle and said, "You are at home!"

Li Ming didn't answer but asked: "Didn't you go to the factory to work overtime?"

"I have many children at home, I don't work overtime in the factory, and no one will say anything about me."

"There are quite a few clever things."

Qin Huairu was full of charm and rolled her eyes at him, "It's rare that you are at home. You didn't listen to the radio or turn on the record player. When I first walked in, I thought your house had been robbed."

Li Ming laughed and said: "I am also a thief. A heart thief."

Qin Huairu glanced at the yard, walked to the bedroom and smiled: "Yes, a little thief. Give me my heart back quickly."

"No! My heart is with you. We have exchanged it."

"You'll make me happy."

Li Ming threw the pretense magazine on the table, stretched out his hand to invite her to the kang, "Are you happy then?"

"Don't get caught by children." Qin Huairu would still be afraid during the day.

After saying this, she also sat on the edge of the Kang.

Li Ming's hand naturally touched her waist, "I didn't turn on the radio or record player at home, because I didn't want those children to come around."

"When there's music, they come to the front yard again."

Most of the neighborhood children like to play at the houses of their brothers and sisters who are about the same age.

No need to avoid suspicion, there are always delicious and fun things to eat.

"Who asked you to be the first to prepare all these things in the yard and often give them food? They must be Brother Xiao Ming and Uncle Ming who keep shouting."

"It's just a little food, just give it to me, not even a drop of my dime."

In terms of his net worth, this was indeed the case. Qin Huairu didn't bother much, "Si Zhu seems to want his father-in-law to live in our hospital."

Li Ming's dishonest hands wandered around, "He asked me last night. I have no objection. I asked him to discuss it with the three elders in the courtyard."

"Silly Zhu asked the first uncle first in the morning. The first uncle agreed. I don't know where the second uncle and third uncle are."

"Your home is in the middle courtyard. Didn't I ask about your home?"

"Si Zhu came to my house this morning and asked. Otherwise, how would I know about it. I don't have any objection."

Li Ming remembered that he had not caused trouble for Jia Zhang recently, "Where is your mother-in-law?"

"Teacher Ran helped teach her a lot of things in the red book. Silly Zhu also often gave the three children delicious food, and she was too embarrassed to disagree."

Li Ming estimated that Shazhu's idea could come true, and Yuan Wanshun from the wing of the central courtyard would definitely agree.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong would probably agree.

Yan Bugui is a little timid, but he still has sympathy.

At first, he was able to let the eldest lady Lou Xiaoe go, but when Lou Xiaoe was slandered as being against cultural XXX, Liu Haizhong decided to punish Lou Xiaoe.

Since Yi Zhonghai was no longer a master, Liu Haizhong stopped causing trouble for Yi Zhonghai.

There are three types of people Liu Haizhong will punish. One is people like Yi Zhonghai who stand in the way; the other is people like Silly Zhu who have a grudge against him and are just seeking revenge; the third are people who oppose cultural XXX.

Thinking about things, Li Ming smiled and said: "It seems that Aunt Zhang's consciousness has improved. Let your mother-in-law work harder and work harder in the street cafeteria. This is a very good opportunity for performance. Banggeng's further education will be better. Counting on her.”

Qin Huairu felt so comfortable that she leaned against him, "When the third uncle came to my house to talk about this in the morning, I also reminded my mother-in-law."

"Not bad. You've become smarter." His hand had already reached inside from the hem of his shirt.

Qin Huairu held his hand and said, "Don't do anything bad, or I'll really go back."

"You should be careful in broad daylight." She could stand up in time without having to adjust her clothes when he hugged her waist and touched her little hands while she was sitting.

"Okay. That's boring."

Qin Huairu took the initiative to comfort him with a sweet kiss. Seeing that it was almost time, she hurried back to the middle courtyard.

It is inappropriate for a man and a woman to stay together for too long. A little attention can reduce a lot of gossip.

Li Ming closed the door of the east wing.

He returned to the small world.

He wanted to buy a hydroelectric generator before, but he never found it. Every machine has its place.

He wanted to ask Liu Haizhong's machine tool shop to help process some accessories, but he also gave up because he lacked relevant drawings.

The Jingcheng Heavy Electric Machinery Factory located in SJS mainly produces thermal generators, and most of the equipment it produces is large.

Deyang in Sichuan Province produces hydraulic turbines, but it is too far away from the capital; Harbin, Shanghai, and Kuhan in Heilongjiang Province are also too far away from these power manufacturing bases.

Finally, he went to a small hydropower station and spent hundreds of dollars to build his own turbines, generators, voltage regulators, etc.A 10KW generator, because there are no electrical appliances, there is still a lot of power left in such a small generator.

The water storage reservoir used to generate electricity is from an earth mountain on the east side. It has been prepared long ago and the machinery has been installed.

What Li Ming will do now is to set up wires and arrange switches in the small world.

Yesterday, he found a way to get the wires. The failure to lay out the wires last night was considered a long delay for him.

The tall wooden telegraph poles are reinforced with cement at their bases to increase their weight. A main line first goes to the living area on the middle platform and then connects to the desert oasis to the west.

A branch line connects directly from the hydropower station to the east flower garden.

There was plenty of electricity and he installed several 100W light bulbs.

In his own territory, it is not difficult to do these things.

'We're on the road,'

'Spirited and high-spirited,'

The powered record player played a sweet song.

Li Ming stood in the room that was modeled as the east wing, smiling to himself:

"We're done, and we've quickly entered the electrification era. Unfortunately, the radio can't receive the cross-border signal."

"When the lamp is turned on, the whole room will be the same as the east wing. You can bring Qin Huairu over in the future, and you can sing loudly when you have fun at night."

"I'm going to see her in a few days to try the effect. The one with the voice is better, the one without the voice is always a little less interesting."

One teleported to a small lake in the desert, and the other person was already lying on a rocking chair, holding a cup of cold ice cream in his hand. Peanuts, melon seeds, preserved fruits and other snacks appeared on the small square table next to him.

"It's a wonderful little life."

Li Ming is busy in his small world.

It's not in vain, the air inside is better, and he often sleeps and rests there at night.

The air quality in Beijing at this time is definitely worse than in 2023.

Cement plants, steel plants, power plants and other large coal-burning plants in western Beijing have large chimneys, and billowing smoke blows into the city from time to time.

There are also many windy and dusty weather.

If it weren't for meeting the great mentor, those who came from other places would be a little disappointed in the capital.

The city gate tower is not as majestic and colorful as the propaganda posters. Due to the psychological gap, the actual tall tower gives people the impression of being a bit short and dim.

The streets are not all wide and clean. Most of the roads are dusty. What is better than those in the countryside and small and medium-sized cities is that there is very little livestock excrement.

In fact, in 2023, many places within the Second Ring Road are still messy, with narrow roads and poor living conditions.

Fortunately, there are large venues such as workers' sports stadiums, exhibition halls, museums, squares, etc. to support the lineup.

People at this time also liked big chimneys. The thick smoke showed that the country was developing very well!

8月18日的100万人，8月31日的50万人。

Because of these two interviews, many people who arrived in the capital stopped leaving and had to wait for the next interview.

The number of people rushing to the capital from other places has been rising.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing the great teacher in person.

the next day.

Monday morning, 8 o'clock.

Li Ming first went to the staff building site to hold a regular meeting, then inspected the site before returning to the rolling mill.

Now is the decoration stage, construction safety is not a big problem, other work can be carried out step by step.

Recently, regarding the work in the factory, he shifted his focus to the security department.

The suspected espionage case has yet to have a final result.

Li Ming compared two forms in the Security Section office.

One is a summary of the workshop conditions reported by the inspection team member of the fourth workshop. He assigned tasks to each workshop and department and reported them once a week.

One is the timetable for Kuang Zhidao's return home registered by the purchaser of the third department of procurement.

Captain Xing came to investigate and found no abnormalities, so Li Ming could only investigate slowly and slowly.

Squatting down once a week didn't take much time, and Qian Jin and others from the third department of procurement didn't complain.

Li Ming himself was also free from work in the staff building. Many matters in the security department were arranged for his subordinates to handle. He was idle and passed the time.

Director Yang and others of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill have been sweeping the place for a month, but the title of director has not been removed yet because the superiors have no time to deal with the matter.

In early August, various working groups in the capital were canceled one after another.

The Metallurgical Department, the department in charge of the rolling mill, is in serious trouble of its own.

The heads of the department are all doing reviews and writing inspections.

Thanks to the support of the Security Section and the Inspection Team, the preparatory committee organized by Deputy Director Li and his group gained a firm foothold in the factory.

Outside the factory, those who wanted to hold meetings had their own people to maintain order. The security department usually had to support the security work of the Chengdong Branch, so there was no need for support.

A lot of things were lost at once, so Li Ming was very free.

In addition to spending a lot of time on this suspected spy case, he also did a lot of personal things, such as going to scrapyards to buy old antiques.

"Looks okay. Keep investigating."

Yang Dakui asked cautiously: "Could it be that we misunderstood Kuang Zhidao?" It was probably a false alarm. Yang Dakui was worried that his impression score would be lowered in front of the deputy section chief.

"Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, it's hard to say right now. The recent events may have frightened him." Li Ming said cryptically.

Yang Dakui naturally understood what he was referring to, "Yes."

"Anyway, my colleagues in the purchasing department are idle, so they have done something good."

Ring, ring, ring!
Li Ming picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is the security department of the steel rolling mill."

"I'm Chen Guodong, I'm looking for Deputy Section Chief Li."

"I'm Li Ming. Section Chief, do you have anything to do with me?"

"There is an urgent procurement task in the factory."

"Yeah. I'm listening."

“We are in urgent need of supplies such as straw curtains, straw mats, straw slices, straw bags, and cattail mattresses.”

"Then how much do we need to purchase?" Li Ming knew as soon as he heard that it was about building a straw shed.

"The more the merrier, there is no upper limit this time. There is an order from above to raise supplies as soon as possible and build thatched huts as soon as possible. National Day is coming soon, and there will be a lot of people coming to Beijing from other places who will have no place to stay."

"Is this something people in the purchasing department need to worry about? They have more contacts with other places and have sufficient supply."

"Director Li said that the three departments of the Purchasing Department will work together." Deputy Director Li Huaide became the director of the Preparatory Committee of the Steel Rolling Mill.

"You can make a suggestion to Director Li. Report to the superiors, and the city will coordinate the acquisition, allocation, and arrangements. This will prevent various factories from competing with each other for supplies, which in turn will slow down the progress of the project."

Chief Chen laughed loudly and said: "This opinion has been raised, and our factory must take action as it should."

"So that's it. Then I'll do my best." Li Ming didn't plan to inquire about supplies. He could transport two trucks of rice straw and let them prepare them.

There is a little trouble. The rice harvest in Beijing only starts in October.

It's only early September, and he still has to make the straw old, otherwise the fresh straw will be conspicuous and cannot be used directly. (End of chapter)
