Reborn to be rich

Chapter 74 Brick Factory Management
"Guodong, what we said last year about planting trees on the roadside in the spring, it's already mid-February, and we can start planting trees in these few days, but the 2 pine saplings I ordered in the county last year were taken away. Others snatched it away first, and it’s all my fault, if the saplings could be transported back sooner, nothing like this would happen.” The eighth uncle looked at Zhang Guodong and said regretfully, a lot of things in the county depend on the relationship, you don’t have to worry about it What can it do, people need to take it away.

"Since it was taken away by others, you can bring the deposit contract and get the money back as agreed. How much deposit did you give at that time?"

"500 yuan! Double compensation for breach of contract!"

"Better than nothing, at least enough to go to Chang'an to buy saplings. You go to the county today to settle the liquidated damages problem, and go to Chang'an tomorrow. Many farmers in the northern suburbs of Chang'an have pine saplings in their homes. There You can probably get it cheaper."

Uncle Ba signed a contract with a one-meter-high pine seedling for thirty-five cents, and 7000 pine trees cost [-] yuan. This is the price given by the county agriculture and forestry bureau, which is obviously higher.

"Okay, tomorrow I will ask the villagers to dig a hole first, no matter how old or young they are, the daily wages for planting trees are one yuan and five, Guodong, what else do you have to explain."

"Buy [-] more saplings! The brick factory will be very polluted, and trees must be planted around it. After half a month after planting the saplings, they must be watered every day. I will leave it to you to take care of it. "Zhang Guodong said that Uncle Ba left.

Wang Le saw that Zhang Guodong had already got on the excavator and was working on the excavator. Zhang Guodong had to sit aside and rest. At this time, he saw Uncle Nine coming back from the county with a tractor.

Uncle Jiu has been in charge of transporting building materials in the village recently. Together with several tractors in the village, he earns a lot more money than working in Yaozipo. Zhang Guodong has already made up his mind. Uncle Jiu is in charge of buying and selling building materials. He has a tractor and the help of Fourth Grandpa, so he is more suitable than others.

Time passed quietly like this. Zhangjialing Village began to take on a new look in two months. The newly planted saplings in the village basically came back to life. Someone cleaned up the garbage every day in Laochi. The water in the pond has always been clear. The weather has been slow recently. It's getting hot and people are already doing laundry there.

The water tower in the south of the village has been built. The [-]-meter-high water tower is pumped by diesel engine water pumps. The village has set up special water management personnel to maintain the water level of the water tower every day. People in the village pull water for free, and people in other villages pay [-] cents per ton.

The water tower has become a landmark building in Zhangjialing Village, but the Zhangjialing Village Primary School on the west side of the water tower is even more lively this year.

Due to the expansion of primary school teachers, three volunteer teachers were sent from the county after the next year. In addition, the headmaster Zhou introduced two excellent teachers from the countryside a few days ago. The number of primary school teachers has exceeded 3. Every month, all teachers in the village brigade Full salary is rarely seen in the entire Yongkang County, so the teachers have tried their best to improve the academic performance of the students. Many surrounding villages and even the villages in the west of Ganjing Township send their children to Zhangjialing Village Primary School. , All of a sudden, the number of students in Zhangjialing Primary School reached more than 2, and each teacher was overcrowded. Principal Zhou specially discussed with Zhang Guodong, and began to divide into classes within a year. The number of students in each class should not exceed 20.

Things in the village are proceeding in an orderly manner. The brick kilns in the brick factory have all been set up, and now only the factory office, staff locker rooms, and dormitories are still under construction.

On this day, Zhang Guodong handed over all the work on Yaozipo to Wang Le and his father. He came to the brick factory to see the construction of the factory. The workers recruited from the village are standing in the brick drying factory, and more than ten people in the front row are skilled craftsmen and technicians.

"It's a great pleasure to meet you here. Today is the first day of our brick factory, and everyone's salary is well known. The factory manager Zhang Zehui, the technical director Wang Deguang, and the transportation manager Zhang Chenghao have a monthly salary of 100 yuan. The team leader, brick firing team leader, and transportation team leader are 60 yuan per month, and they have 6 days off in a month. Workers pay two yuan a day for ten days. You are all people who earn more than 50 yuan a month. Everyone in the county unit gets a lot, everyone should know. And the reward and punishment system of the brick factory is also posted on the door. I hope everyone can get the safety award of 5 yuan every month. If there is a safety award in the brick factory Accident, everyone's safety awards are cancelled, and the salary of the safety director is halved. Did you hear that?"

"I heard it all!" The workers below shouted.

The technical director surnamed Wang was found by Dou Jinpeng in Chang'an. He has worked in the brick factory for more than ten years and is very skilled in technology. Zhang Guodong got a monthly subsidy of 50 yuan plus a salary of 100 yuan before the other party agreed to come for half a year. can grow up.

A few workers were ordered to pour the original loess into the grinder, and a diesel generator roared. At this time, the mechanical noise was really loud. Zhang Guodong watched the crushed clay being sent to the mixer, and the water pipes in a large water tank Constantly add water to the clay, while the technicians operate the machine to add coal powder and gypsum powder to the mixer, and then control the amount of water added. When the mixture is almost mixed, it is sent to the track, and the track goes to the bottom of the brick making machine. After a while A formed gray mud brick emerges from the other end of the brick making machine.

"How is it? Are the bricks ready?" Zhang Guodong saw Wang Deguang watching the newly released mud bricks, and asked.

"Mr. Zhang, this mud brick needs to be dried naturally for a day before it can be put into the kiln. Only when the brick is fired can we know whether it is qualified or not." Wang Deguang said with a smile.

Zhang Guodong never knew that the mud bricks pressed by the brick making machine had to be dried. He saw that the brick kiln was on fire, and thought that bricks could be fired today!

Seeing the workers carrying the mud bricks to the drying yard to dry, all the bricks looked exactly the same. Zhang Guodong couldn't help being excited. This brick factory is the first factory in Zhangjialing Village. If this first step goes well, everything will be fine in the future.

After waiting for two days, Zhang Zehui sent someone to inform that the bricks from the first kiln were about to come out today. Zhang Guodong rushed to the brick factory and found that the newly made mud bricks had taken up less than half of the cool brick yard, and the workers in the east area of ​​the cool brick yard were pushing Shelf car, put a car of red bricks on the side.

"Master Wang, how about this brick? Is it qualified?" Zhang Guodong asked expectantly.

"The quality of the clay is very good, and the bricks are up to standard, but there is still room for improvement in the future. The temperature control of the first kiln's bricks is not very good. Tonight, the second kiln will be ignited to bake the kiln. By that time, the amount of bricks produced in a day Probably around 14000." Wang Deguang thought for a while and said.

Zhangjialing Village is now building a house at the official intersection, the brigade is building a house, and the school is also expanding. It needs a lot of bricks. The bricks ordered by the fourth uncle from Kun County cost five cents a piece, and the shipping fee is two cents. The money is divided, and now that my own brick factory has produced new bricks, of course I have to use them first.

"Send the bricks to the brigade headquarters, Guanlukou, and the school later! Let your dad stop asking for bricks from Kun County!" Zhang Guodong said to the third brother behind him.

"The brick is not usable yet, and we have to wait 12 hours to take it away. How do we get the bill after the brick is delivered? Should we keep the bill first?" Zhang Zehui asked.

"Then wait for this brick to be used, send it to the brigade as soon as possible! If the money is settled on the spot, the money spent by the brigade and the school will be paid separately. We still calculate it at 5 cents a piece. The shipping fee is still based on The starting distance is 5 yuan, plus 1 yuan for every kilometer."

Zhang Guodong and Zhang Zehui looked at the brick drying yard. The area here is large enough. Zhang Guodong does not plan to start selling bricks to outsiders now. The work on Yaozipo will be basically completed in more than ten days. By then, the third and fourth brick making The production line came back, and the tractors in the village were idle. That's when the brick factory really opened.

The sunshine in April is starting to get a little hot. After more than three months of hard work by Zhang Guodong and others, the steep slope in front of Yaozipo has opened a flat avenue from the middle. The terraced fields on both sides of the avenue are criss-cross and each step is 2 meters high. It gives people a sense of beauty.

Zhang Guodong couldn't help but smile when he watched the last terraced field being repaired.

It took 104 days of actual construction from last year to the present, excavated 79 square meters of earth and rocks, and opened a 600-meter-long road, which shortened the distance from Xida Road to Ganjing Township by a large margin, and there is no longer any need to worry about tractors not being able to get from the kite in rainy days. up the slope.

In addition to shortening the distance, terraced fields were built on both sides of Yaozipo Road for hundreds of meters, covering an area of ​​more than [-] mu. Because of the terraced fields, these fields have a good water storage capacity and belong to medium-sized fields.There is also the South Canal of Liujia Village. The [-]-acre new field eliminates the danger of someone falling into the deep ditch in the future. The new field is flat and easy to irrigate.

After the work was done, all the villagers were a little bit reluctant. Many people had cultivated deep feelings for so long. Zhang Guodong settled the wages for the past few days, and soon everyone on the construction site was almost gone.

"Guodong, shall we drive the car back?" Zhang Guodong's little uncle has been working here for more than two months, and he is very proficient at driving tractors. A lot, Zhang Guodong never asked for his salary, saying that he was afraid that he could not help but spend it to buy wine.

"Let's all go to the brick factory in the village! The brick factory has accumulated a lot of bricks these days. The two new brick-making machines have been installed a few days ago. Let the 30 loaders help! The 50 loaders and excavators put the bricks The dangerous places around the ditch around the factory have been filled up, and it will be easy to expand the brick factory in the future.” Zhang Guodong sent all three mechanical vehicles to the brick factory, and the 21 tractors in the village will also be transferred to the brick factory from today. The workers in the tractor brick factory will not use the rack truck to carry bricks, loess, cinder, etc. all day long, so that the efficiency of the brick factory can be higher.

After finishing the work on Yaozipo, Zhang Guodong rode his bicycle and walked to the village alone. In the past two months, he has delivered more than 4 tons of yellow stones to the village. He will settle the money for the yellow stones every week. Today he is going to the village to settle the final payment for the Yaozipo project.

I thought it would be very troublesome to settle the final payment, but I didn't expect that when Zhang Guodong went to the financial department of the township, the other party just asked Zhang Guodong to sign the receipt, and Zhang Guodong got the check for 675000 yuan. Just as he was thinking about going home, he saw Dou Jinpeng At the door of the office, Zhang Guodong went upstairs to Dou Jinpeng's room.

"How about the completion of the project? I'm so envious of you boy. In the past six months, you have made money that I can't make in my life. I forget that you have already received 162 million yuan in the countryside!" Dou Jinpeng pretended to be envious Speaking of.

Zhang Guodong settled 75 yuan for the project, 87 yuan for the yellow stone sold to the village, 41 yuan for the villagers and tractors, and 16 yuan for the village brigade. Zhang Guodong finally got 2 million yuan after excluding fuel costs and driver wages. In the 104s, having a family property of one million would be praised by the village, not to mention earning one million in just half a year.

"It's all hard work. Are you free tonight? I'll invite the township leaders to have a light meal." The settlement of the project is so smooth. I have to thank the township leaders anyway, although they may also want to cut some benefits in the middle , the top leaders can't do it under pressure, even Zhang Guodong's face project has to be done.

"Let's leave it tomorrow! It's time for you to invite me well. When the time comes, you put the location in the county. I'll ask Secretary Ouyang if he will come. I don't know why Secretary Ouyang is so interested in you. A few days ago he specially Call me to ask about the progress of your project. They say that the new national road from the county to Bin County will be repaired at the end of July, and you will be able to use your three machines at that time. About the lease, you and the provincial second construction Talk." While talking, Dou Jinpeng took out a box of new tea from the innermost part of his cabinet and steeped it with water from an electric kettle, and Zhang Guodong smelled a fresh and sweet tea fragrance.

"Thank you, Secretary Ouyang! Does Secretary Ouyang have anything for you to bring?"

"Really, I haven't called Secretary Ouyang for so long. He knows about the brick factory in your village, and he is very sure of you. What are you going to do next after the Yaozipo project is finished?" Dou Jinpeng asked arrive.

"I'm planning to go to the south. This year, the country will issue national debt for the first time..."

"Do you want to buy treasury bonds? Yes, saving money in banks is better than buying treasury bonds to support the country's development. To be polite, I'm poor and not as rich as you." Dou Jinpeng joked.

"Do some small business, do you have anything I can bring for you?" Zhang Guodong didn't intend to tell Dou Jinpeng too carefully. He is a member of the system and cannot participate in some things.

Leaving the township government, Zhang Guodong rode his bicycle to the county seat. After passing the big slope in the ditch, Zhang Guodong decided to buy a car after this trip to the south. It would take half an hour to push the bicycle up the ditch.

When he arrived at the county seat, Zhang Guodong came to Qilin Building, the best restaurant in the county seat, and ordered a good meal for tomorrow night, which included rare delicacies such as sea prawns and soft-shelled turtles. This table cost Zhang Guodong more than 600 yuan. With a box of Moutai and a stick of Zhonghua cigarettes, the 1000 yuan is gone.
