Chapter 153 Construction of New Rural Areas (4)
In the afternoon, the place where Li Songchen visited was a construction site with a relatively long construction progress. It has only completed about 60% of the project volume, and construction is being accelerated at this time.
However, after arriving at the construction site, Li Songchen did not go to the site for inspection immediately, but first came to the resettlement camp of the return farmers. Not far from the construction site, a place similar to a refugee camp was formed by countless tents. Such a camp is located near each construction site, which not only facilitates these returning farmers to work on the construction site, but also facilitates management with the construction site.
Li Songchen mainly inspected the environmental sanitation situation in the camp. The Travel Group manages each resettlement camp very strictly. Young and middle-aged men and women have to work on the construction site every day. The elderly left behind the camp are responsible for cooking, boiling water, washing clothes, cleaning camp hygiene and other work. In addition to the basic behavioral rules, there are many special regulations, such as the drinking water in the camp must be boiled, and people working on the construction site must change their clothes every day, old clothes must be washed, and the dishes and chopsticks for eating must be soaked in boiling water, etc.
On the outside, temporary toilets and garbage dumps were specially built next to each camp. It is absolutely forbidden to defecate, litter and various measures in the camp. It turns out that in the countryside of this era, there was basically no habit of going to the toilet. Women were fine, because they had to talk about some secrets, while men had to be more casual, and they could solve them in the corners of the wall, behind big trees, and in the grass. Therefore, in ancient China, there was also the profession of manure picking workers, who specially collected the things left by these feces. Domestic garbage was even more scrupulous, often around big houses and thrown under the corners of the wall. In big cities, people would sometimes be organized to clean up, and in cities or villages, they were only used to clean them, such as heavy rain, heavy snow, etc.
The systems formulated by the Time Travel Group are to keep the camp clean and hygienic, so as to avoid causing infectious diseases. If it becomes contagious among Time Travelers, it will be troublesome. It also clearly stipulates that once someone is found to violate the rules, severe punishment will be given: a man beats thirty boards, a woman beats thirty boards, and if a child finds his stool everywhere, his parents will be punished, and each beats 10 boards.
When Li Songchen formulated such a punishment regulations, he was opposed by many people. Some people believed that the method of using punishment to oppress farmers was not good, and they should be the main method of serving education or reducing punishment. At least they should not use physical harm, such as work, imprisonment, fines and other measures. At the same time, the examples of ancestors transforming rural areas in the old time and space did not rely on the punishment system.
But Li Songchen still insisted on his own opinion, because the current time-travel group did not have the conditions of the ancestors in the old time and space. After all, he had only traveled to this time and space for more than a month and had insufficient prestige. Since it was a management system, there must be necessary punishment measures, and the violators should pay the necessary price so that they dare not violate the rules anymore. Without punishment measures, or the punishment measures are not effective, the system will become a piece of paper.
As for the non-physical harm methods proposed by others, it is basically not feasible, because farmers are working now, and incarcerated methods not only need to provide them with food and drink, but also need someone to guard them. It is really not cost-effective; fines are even more unreliable, so what else can these farmers be fined? Therefore, only using a board is the most suitable and effective.
When the camp management system was implemented, the farmers in the camp were extremely uncomfortable. After all, this was not only a habit of living for many years, but also this has been like this for hundreds of years. No one wants to change or do not want to be so troublesome. Moreover, many farmers don’t believe that this group of overseas Chinese really can control such a broad mind, even if they urinate? I’m afraid it’s just for themselves. If they can urinate, they will have to thirty-six slap. Of course, there were too many superficial articles in the court, and this group of overseas Chinese will be no exception.
But no one expected that this group of overseas Chinese were not just for themselves, but for the real one. On the first day of the system announcement, dozens of violators were caught in almost every camp, and the time travelers were not polite. As long as they were caught, they immediately put them on the open space in front of the camp, pressed them to the ground and beat them. As a result, the sound of "slap" boards and screams of being beaten on this day almost never stopped.
Suddenly, all the farmers in the camp were suppressed. Only then did people realize that this group of overseas Chinese were very different from the imperial court. The established rules must be respected and they should not be careless. So in the following time, people also restrained a lot, and the number of people who violated the rules was reduced a lot, at least they did not blatantly violate the rules. Of course, the habits were difficult to change. There were still some people who were lucky enough to violate the rules while the managers were not paying attention. Some people avoided it, but some were also unlucky to be caught. Therefore, there were always people who were beaten to the board every day, but there were much fewer ones.
Of course, there are a few people who live for a few days or after being beaten by a banzi, and they can't stand so much constraints, so they decide to leave the camp. In any case, there are still many old houses in rural areas, and they can endure it even if they go there. They can still do odd jobs and do odd jobs. At least they are free to behave, which is better than staying here and being rubbed. Maybe they will violate the rules and get dozens of boards.
The time travelers did not stop these people who were leaving, and even gave them a few steamed buns. They also told them that if they couldn't make it outside, they could come back. However, all the work they had done before was useless and could only start from scratch.
But most people still choose to stay. Although there are many inconveniences in staying in the camp, they have a place to live. They are not afraid of wind and rain. What’s more important is that they can have a full meal every day. When they leave the camp, even if they can find a broken house to endure it, how to solve the problem of eating? Are odd jobs and zero work so easy to do? I don’t know what the market outside is like, and whether it’s easy to find a job. Therefore, they can only endure it in the camp.
After living for a long time, people gradually felt that these systems were not unrespectable. Moreover, if the camp was quiet, it would be comfortable to live in, and people's spirits would be much better.
Li Songchen walked around the camp and was basically satisfied with the environment of the camp. At this time, young and middle-aged men and women were working on the construction site. The elderly and children stayed in the camp. Of course, they were old people. In fact, they were not too old. They were basically under the age of sixty. The older ones couldn't stand the dismantling of the escaped people, and they all died. At this time, they were washing dishes, washing clothes, boiling water, and the children were playing in the camp. Although the conditions in the camp were a little simpler, they were all in good spirits.
Li Songchen also saw with his own eyes that two children wanted to defecate in the corner, but as soon as they took off their pants, they were stopped by other children and shouted that they would go to the toilet outside the camp. The suppression measures in the previous stage of the Ming Dynasty still achieved good results.
Then Li Songchen chatted with the old people in the camp. This is also something Li Songchen must do every time he inspects the camp. On the one hand, he will understand the situation in the camp and the mentality of the farmers, so that he can arrange the next step of work. On the other hand, he will also comfort these farmers so that they can understand the various systems of resettlement of the camp. Although the system is rigid, people can communicate. Through communication, everyone can understand that these systems are not intentionally incompetent to the farmers, but for everyone to live a better life. Even if the farmers may not be able to consciously respect them, at least they will not resist them too much in their hearts.
During this period, Li Songchen often came to the camp. Almost all the old people left behind in the camp knew him and knew that he was a high-ranking official among overseas Chinese. Moreover, Li Songchen was easy to treat others and did not hold back. He would understand the farmers' doubts, follow them, and patiently persuade them. At the same time, he also described the beautiful future to the farmers. Although the farmers were half-believing and half-doubted about the bright future of Li Songchen, there would be some hope. At the same time, they also had a good impression of Li Songchen and were willing to talk to him and tell Li Songchen what they thought. Therefore, every time they came to inspect the camp, they could gain some results.
After staying in the camp for about one time, Li Songchen left the camp and came to the construction site. The person in charge of this construction site was He Shengdong. He had been a project manager for more than ten years in the old time and space. He was also a person with considerable construction organization experience. He was 46 years old this year. He was in his prime and had some ambitions before traveling through time. After traveling through time, he knew that the opportunity had increased greatly and wanted to make some achievements.
There are more than 20 project managers like He Shengdong among the time travelers. Although there were only three Middle East construction projects before the time travel, these three construction projects were super-large projects with a total of more than one billion US dollars. Therefore, they are divided into more than twenty branch projects within the site, and the cost of each project is more than 100 million US dollars. The project managers of each branch project are actually the backbone force.
When Li Songchen arrived at the construction site, He Shengdong was inspecting the work of making adobe bricks at the entrance of the construction site. It turned out that the adobe bricks were made on the site of each construction site. According to the plan, there is a threshing yard with an area of more than 1,000 square meters at the entrance of each new village to ensure that each household has at least 10 square meters of threshing land. Now this place is a site used to make adobe bricks.
Li Songchen saw that the site was densely packed with dry adobe bricks, which were probably filled with at least several thousand, and even tens of thousands of yuan was not impossible. There were also bricks. According to the estimates of professionals, it would take about 400 adobe bricks to build a standard house. Although Tianjin is a northern region, because it is a sea-lined city and has a marine climate, the temperature is relatively mild. In October, the average temperature is about 15 degrees. In this state, the drying time of adobe brick is about 5-7 days.
