Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Why is Kunshan County¡¯s annual work meeting held in a relaxed and happy manner, and the years are quiet?

    That¡¯s because someone is carrying the burden for them.

    To the west of Banshan Bridge, on Xitang Street, the most prosperous street in the county, stands a new three-story building. This is the office building of Kunshan Development Company.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????: ??Looking at the exterior, it also has white walls and black tiles and horse-head walls, which is very different from the common Jiangnan pavilions, but in fact, it is just the appearance.

    This is the world's first three-story brick-concrete structure, using a completely different construction method from the past.  Not a single piece of wood was used before the doors and windows were installed!

    When this building was being built, the people of Kunshan gathered around to watch it every day.  After the workers dug the foundation, they laid the foundation with strips of stone and concrete, and then used bamboo-reinforced concrete slabs to build the frame of the house.  After the structure is solid, the walls are built with blue bricks, and the floor slabs are paved with custom-sized prefabricated panels. The shell of the one-story building is thus built.

    ?Then the workers used scaffolding and put it up layer by layer. It was as simple as a child building a toy, but it looked weird and ugly with a square head and a square head.

    "But wait until the masons paint the three floors with white ash, hang the tiles, and draw the lines.  After the carpenters put in beautiful windows and an imposing facade, it suddenly looked as good-looking as a tall building that a wealthy family would spend ten times the time building.

    No, this one seems to look better because it has wider doors and windows, and the windows are inlaid with expensive glass.  When the sun rises, the glass windows reflect thousands of golden lights, making it the most beautiful boy on the street.

    ??~~

    In fact, Zhao Hao is not satisfied with this superficial building. In his opinion, a building without running water or flush toilet is simply anti-human.

    At this time, he was sitting in the large conference room on the third floor, not even daring to drink more water, otherwise he would have to go downstairs to use the toilet in the yard.

    This is just a show off of skills by Gu Dadong who loves high-rise buildings regardless of the actual situation.  If Zhao Hao hadn't stopped him, this old man who built the tallest tower in the county would have planned to build a seven-story building.

    ¡®There¡¯s no elevator, so won¡¯t you get sick if you live on the seventh floor?  ¡¯ Mr. Zhao was thinking a little distractedly.

    Across the conference table, Gu Dadong, who still didn¡¯t know he was being disliked, was facing a map of Kunshan that was half the size of a wall. He was spitting and explaining this year¡¯s grand plan to Mr. Zhao, President Jiang and the company directors who were present at the meeting.

    "Following the spirit of Young Master's instructions, after repeated studies and discussions, we divided the county's 600,000 acres of land into 100 farms of similar sizes." Gu Dadong pointed to the scientific numbers on the map and said: "These 1 to 100 farms each  Each number represents a farm. Each farm will have a field director, leading five technicians, who are dedicated to planning and guiding all related matters such as production, water conservancy, pest control and other matters on the farm's 6,000 acres of land."

    Zhao Hao finally came to his senses and interrupted, asking: "How much labor is needed to produce six thousand acres of land?"

    "It's hard to say, because ordinary people farm with their whole family." Dai Gao, general manager of Kunkaisi, quickly replied: "A family of five can probably take care of ten acres of land. Any more than that can be cultivated intensively.  "

    A family of five is also the most common family size in Ming Dynasty.  Including one or two elderly people and one or two couples.  In addition, minors are not included in the household registration.

    Zhao Hao touched his chin and thought for a moment, subconsciously wanting to pick up the tea cup on the table and take a sip.  As if he thought of something again, he put it down.

    "That's about 600 households. On average, one person manages 100 households and 1,000 acres. This is really not an easy job." He couldn't help but tease Dai Gao and said, "I see you are happy to give quotas to employees of the Ministry of Construction and Water Resources. Why?"  Are you so stingy with the farm management department?¡±

    "Haha, don't blame me, sir, there is nothing we can do about it. According to your requirements, the technicians must be literate, understand agricultural skills, be diligent, studious and willing to endure hardship. The whole county cannot afford the 600 people who meet the requirements, and now there are still half of them.  The quota is not full yet." Dai Gao said with a bitter smile.

    "That's right." Zhao Hao nodded, he has been a little sensitive recently.  The reason is that the employee ranking system launched by Mr. Zhao grandly is not very popular with the management of various companies as expected.

    They were scolded by Zhao Hao, and no one dared to say anything, but after they returned, they found ways to exploit the loopholes.

    ¡°For example, all menial work is done by hiring part-time workers from the dental industry, so as to reduce the number of regular workers as much as possible.

    For example, Kunkaisi went to work in Chongming and Shanghai and asked the county to recruit civilian laborers to work for free

    What¡¯s more, in order to save money for one year¡¯s service, he actually terminated the contracts with all employees and then re-signed them, so that they can all be counted as first-level employees.

    Fortunately, the Inspection and Supervision Committee has branches in each company, and long before the Inspection and Supervision Committee was established, Mr. Zhao had the consciousness to distribute it in each company.He has an eye lineror is called a 'secret inspector'.  With the combination of light and darkness, the troubles of the subordinate companies could not be hidden from his eyes and ears.

    But Zhao Hao didn¡¯t lift the lid.  Because his grandfather told him that in addition to giving both kindness and power, the art of imperial control also has a very important point, which is not to let yourself stand on the opposite side of the majority.  Even if you do think differently from most people, you should hide your attitude.

    ¡°Furthermore, Zhao Hao also expected that there would be compromises in implementation. After all, since ancient times, there has been no policy that can be fully implemented at the grassroots level.  So he deliberately left some room, and now the little actions of these guys are still within the range of his tolerance

    It¡¯s convenient to treat these small actions as handles and save them for later use.

    ??~~

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not say to Dai Gao: "You can support me here first, at most in the second half of the year, I will definitely provide you with agricultural technicians."

    "Okay, sir!" Dai Gao said happily when he heard this.

    "However, water from far away cannot quench the thirst of nearby people. The most important thing now is to start work quickly and rush for spring sowing." Zhao Hao leaned back in his chair and asked: "According to your statement, 60,000 households of farm laborers are needed to serve these 600,000 people.  acres of land. Are there so many people in Kunshan?"

    According to the county household registration, Kunshan has only 81,043 households with a population of 132,828.  This number is ridiculously fake. If it were true, Kunshan County would have to have a lot of singles to get every dink in the house.

    The reason why this is the case is that in the past, the imperial taxation was calculated based on household registration.  The more registered people in the family, the more taxes they pay.  This resulted in large-scale population concealment.  Many people do not apply for household registration when they are old, and some even directly register as "extinct households", and the whole family becomes a living dead.

    "Many officials have been officials for several years, but they don't know how many people they have.  So does anyone know?  have.

    That¡¯s the scribes, these clerks who have been working in the local yamen in their hometowns for generations. They secretly keep an account and remember the land and population of the county clearly.  This is the guy they eat with, so naturally he won't show it to anyone.

    But all the Lijia and Lijia chiefs in the county were bribed by Kunkaisi last year. They had already reported the household registration numbers of their respective Lijias.

    The final statistics show that there are 63,145 households in the county with 308,721 people.  The number of households is nearly 20,000 less than the official figure, but the population has more than doubled.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that even so, the labor force is still not enough.

    ps. It¡¯s gone tonight, so go to bed quickly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
