The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together
Chapter 43 Construction begins
Zhou Dajiang used both drawings and explanations, and finally finished explaining the core part of the meat grinder.
Zhou Sisi understood well, and the problem that had troubled her before was no longer a problem. She quickly drew the blueprint, and the remaining dimension marking was Zhou Dajiang's job.
The two people who were watching the fun on the side had never seen a modern meat grinder and had no imagination in this area. They really didn't understand what Zhou Dajiang was talking about. Now that they saw Zhou Sisi had finished drawing the picture, they came over to look at the blueprint.
Ang'er was just there to watch the fun. Although Master Chen had been teaching for most of his life, he had never been involved in processing. It was a completely new field for him, and he was very interested in it.
He even had a hasty dinner and skipped the Rocket Literacy Class. He pulled Zhou Dajiang aside and asked him to explain it to him again.
The next day, July 28th, is the day to start construction.
Chen Xiuying and Zhou Dajiang both woke up early, and the helpers also arrived early. The three of them quickly started to light a fire, cook rice, and steam multi-grain pancakes.
When breakfast was almost ready, the construction team arrived and Wu Chunsheng brought twenty people with him.
Seeing that there were quite a lot of people, Zhou Dajiang thought about the previous spies and asked Wu Chunsheng, "Uncle Wu, where did you find so many people?"
Wu Chunsheng: "I've worked with these people before, for over a decade, and they're all skilled at their jobs."
Zhou Dajiang felt relieved when he heard this. At least for now, the spies had not sneaked in.
There is no groundbreaking ceremony for building a house in the countryside. After breakfast, everyone starts working on their own work.
Some dug wells, some cut wood, and the rest dug foundations. All the work was proceeding in an orderly manner. Zhou Dajiang saw that everyone was working very hard, and he felt relieved. Because he had other work to do, he said goodbye to Wu Chunsheng, handed him full responsibility, and returned to the yard.
The children in the yard had just gathered and were now doing "exercises". Ever since Zhou Sisi took the lead last time, everyone agreed that this "exercises" was more interesting than the previous gymnastics, so they started doing "exercises" every day.
Master Chen led Zhou Sisi in singing and dancing in the front, and the children below also followed suit, singing and dancing. Zhou Dajiang was so scared that he quickly hid back in the house, fearing that he would be seen. If he was caught dancing in the front again, it would not be beautiful.
After entering the house, he marked the dimensions of the meat grinder's blueprints one by one, found the parts made of wood, and went to Tian Youcai's house with the blueprints. Since it was a sample, the sooner it was made, the better.
Tian Youcai had been exhausted recently, and his speed was faster than Zhou Dajiang's, having already completed 400 sets. So when Zhou Dajiang approached him to join him in a job, he quickly agreed.
This time Zhou Dajiang only planned to make two sets to see how they turned out. If the size was not suitable, he could make improvements in time.
After arranging the carpentry, Zhou Dahe's piece was definitely not going to fit in right now, so he put it aside for now. He would take it away the next time Zhou Dahe came back.
After everything was arranged, the only thing left was to find the county magistrate to approve the land.
This time, Zhou Dajiang planned a different approach. He wanted to present himself as an "urban elite" to the county magistrate, essentially demanding a piece of wasteland with solid evidence. To this end, he wrote a nearly 20,000-word essay, "On the Importance of Industrial Development."
Master Chen was quite moved by his student's initiative in offering advice. Dajiang had reached a new level. He hadn't even passed the imperial examination, let alone a scholar, but he was already worrying about the country and the people, thinking about them. He had a broad mind and courage!
What did Zhou Dajiang write? In fact, he just wrote a lot of random things, applying what he saw in modern times. If a town wants to develop vigorously, in addition to agriculture being the foundation, it should also vigorously develop industry. Only when people have money in their hands will they actively seek a better environment, better education, and better material conditions.
Furthermore, agricultural development takes time and depends on favorable weather conditions. Industrial development is much faster. Firstly, the county government doesn't need to raise funds, and the corresponding factory revenue increases, which in turn increases the amount of tax paid to the government. Secondly, the factory provides employment for many people. The improved livelihoods of these people will also drive the development of surrounding businesses, such as small shops and snack bars.
He wrote a lot of nonsense, using every modern economic theory he could think of. Master Chen exclaimed, "Excellent!"
Chen Xiuying curiously leaned over to take a look, then rolled her eyes at Zhou Dajiang and said, "You can keep fooling around as much as you want."
Zhou Dajiang doesn't care about these things. No matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat. No matter how I try to fool people, as long as I can achieve my goal in the end, then it doesn't count as fooling people.
So, the next day he went to the county government office with full confidence and this suggestion.
He was still received by 'Secretary Yang'.
"Mr. Zhou, long time no see. I wonder why you came to the county government office today?" Ever since the last 'kidnapping incident', Master Yang's attitude towards him had obviously become better.
Zhou Dajiang pulled out a written proposal from his pocket, handed it over with both hands, and said, "I am a humble student, but I have recently written down some of my humble opinions and would like to present them to the county magistrate for his review. I wonder if it is acceptable?"
When Master Yang saw that the person was looking for his master to submit an article, he did not take it too seriously. Because in that era, there were many scholars who wanted to be recommended by local officials. Master Yang was brought from the capital by County Magistrate Lin, so naturally he had seen many such things.
He originally wanted to put it aside and ignore it like everyone else, but then he thought that Zhou Dajiang was someone who had approached the general and it would be hard to offend him, so he took the article and said, "I will present it to the county magistrate now. Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhou." Then he went to the back court.
After listening to the report from Yang Shiye, County Magistrate Lin was not very interested, just like Yang Shiye. He was also a Jinshi, and ranked 13th in the second class. He really didn't think much of the articles of those who hadn't passed the examination. If it were other people's articles, he would not read them. But because he admired Zhou Dajiang very much, he took it and took a look.
It's a rather novel topic, especially the "economic theory" part, which is quite original. County Magistrate Lin was unusually interested and summoned Zhou Dajiang to the back hall to inquire more carefully about his economic theory.
Zhou Dajiang had already prepared for Magistrate Lin's interrogation and had a prepared response. He bowed to Magistrate Lin and then apologized, "I'm so confident in writing this article because, after meeting you last time, I felt you were a distinguished figure and a man of great vision. You're sure to achieve great things in the future. Coming to a small place like this border town is just a practice. I have some humble opinions, but I'm not sure if they're correct. If you could provide guidance, I'd benefit greatly."
Secondly, although you are temporarily serving as the county magistrate, you must also hope to achieve more political achievements during your term. I, a humble student, happened to secure a business for our county the other day, which may provide employment opportunities for a group of local workers. Therefore, I have the courage to write this article, hoping to get the opportunity to meet you.
"Oh, I wonder what kind of business it is and how it relates to local development?" County Magistrate Lin became even more interested.
Zhou Dajiang took out a peeler and a grater from the basket on his back, and then took out a contract from his bosom, handed it over, and said, "I am a humble student. I made a set of small kitchen tools. I originally developed them for my wife to cook at home. Later, Lai Fu Restaurant took a fancy to them and ordered a few sets. As a result, the manager of Datong Trading Company happened to see them. He thought these tools were very practical and wanted to invest in large-scale production. So he signed a contract with Datong Trading Company to invest in building a processing plant specializing in the production of these practical tools that benefit the country and the people.
Although this set of tools is small, it is very practical. If the price is right, I believe it can be used not only in restaurants but also in thousands of households.
Datong Trading Company has many branches in our Donghua country and wants to sell its products nationwide. As a result, the manpower required to process these products will have to increase. At the same time, the tax revenue brought by this sales volume is also considerable. Moreover, when a thing reaches a certain scale, its subsequent virtuous cycle can also stimulate local economic development.
Zhou was born in Qingshan County and naturally wanted to contribute to his hometown, so he brought this project to Qingshan County.
