Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

After observing this, Ling Fengxi told Wu Yongjie, "The workers aren't exhausted from the construction, but from having fun. Furthermore, most of them are from outside the area and have only come here with us. They're not familiar with local customs and habits, and they often come down the mountain in groups. It's easy for something to go wrong, and if it affects the project, it'll be a big deal."

Of course, Wu Yongjie also saw this matter and thought about it, but he couldn't think of a particularly good solution at the moment. If he returned to three shifts, with each shift working three to four hours, there would still be risks.

Workers may still experience low blood oxygen levels due to excessive exertion.

However, it is absolutely not allowed to gather together to go down the mountain. Rules must be established.

That night, Wu Yongjie went to "inspect" the workers' nightlife again, and found that except for the last group of workers who came to work, most of them had gone down the mountain.

Even the milk tea that was delivered wasn’t boiled yet, the milk had gone bad at the door of the tent and was giving off a bad smell.

Wu Yongjie was so angry that he covered his chest and said, "Rebellion, rebellion, everyone is rebelling against heaven!"

Since the start of construction, a shift system has been implemented and there has been no long holidays, which means that the project has never stopped. However, the day after Wu Yongjie became furious, everyone had two days off, which meant that the project was directly stopped.

Ye Minglang was shocked when he heard the news and almost didn't dare to report it to Ling Fengxi. However, Ling Fengxi had already heard about it and said to Ye Minglang, "Wu Yongjie is in charge of the engineering matters. If parents want to beat their children, we outsiders cannot interfere. Otherwise, how can he manage such a big family?"

Ye Minglang immediately understood what he meant, but then said, "Stop working for two days, the loss is still huge..."

"If something major goes wrong due to mismanagement, the losses will be even greater."

On the first day of the holiday, the kitchen served delicious dishes, large plates of mutton and large plates of chicken, with two large plates brought to each table. The workers felt like it was Chinese New Year, with both a holiday and the chance to eat meat.

Everyone ate and drank heartily, and someone even suggested serving wine. At this time, Wu Yongjie came out and said, "There is no wine today. If we get drunk today, how will we get down the mountain tomorrow?"

"Down the mountain? Down what mountain?"

"I, Wu Lao Hu, may be too old to manage the engineering team anymore, so I decided to disband the team and let everyone go their separate ways."

"what?!"

This shocked everyone. "Captain Wu, why are you suddenly saying this? We're doing well here, why are you disbanding?"

"You're doing well?" Wu Yongjie's eyes suddenly turned red, as if he was looking at someone with a grudge. "Did you all go down the mountain yesterday? What happened? Was it fun in the county? Did you drink alcohol? Did you eat meat? The meat today doesn't taste very good, does it? You're not greedy. You just had a good meal. You might have done something else that I don't know about, but it was very enjoyable!"

The workers finally realized why he was angry. Someone calmly explained, "Boss, even though we went down the mountain to have fun, we didn't miss work. We only work two hours a day, so shouldn't we get some fresh air the rest of the time? What's the point of being cooped up in this mountain forever?"

"Two hours a day is too little. It's driving you all crazy, isn't it? Come on, come on!"

Wu Yongjie was furious. "Today, we rescheduled the shifts. Because the geographical environment of the Western Tianshan Mountains is indeed very special, we only have two-hour shifts a day. However, the effect is not good. Not only is the progress of the project slow, but after the manpower was dispersed, most people were idle and had problems.

How can this be done? Right? The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It's also our fault that we've never encountered a project like this before and we have no experience. However, experience is gained through learning from mistakes, and gradually we find the right path."

"Today we are rescheduling our shifts. We must arrange a shift that is reasonable and can fully utilize everyone's strength. In addition, I must announce one thing: everyone can only go down the mountain twice a month, and before going down the mountain, they must have a sufficient reason and must apply for leave and make a note.

Otherwise, once you leave the mountain, you will be treated as leaving your post without permission. The first time you are caught, you will be fined 1,000 yuan. The second time you are caught, you will be fired directly."

The workers were silent.

It feels like this "retirement" life has just begun. After just a few days of comfort, I have to go back to the old hard life.

Someone tentatively asked, "If we reschedule our shifts, do we have to work the full eight hours? What if we have health problems or die?"

Wu Yongjie said, "Those who are not in good health and cannot earn this money should stand up and leave now. Those who think they can earn this money should have a physical examination once a week."

"Also, it's not eight hours, it's four hours. Three shifts of four hours."

The workers fell silent again, and no one spoke for a long time.

Wu Yongjie didn't bother to argue with them anymore and said directly, "If you follow me, you will obey my orders and the rules of the engineering team. If you don't, leave now."

Seeing that he was serious, the workers said, "It's hard to find a job outside now. The salary in the engineering team is still good and stable. We have never gone hungry in the past few years with Captain Wu. How could we possibly leave?"

"Yes, whatever Captain Wu says is what it is."

"We listen to you."

On the first day, Wu Yongjie mainly appeased the workers and decided on the rescheduling. On the second day, it was time to study the shift schedule.

Ling Fengxi was a little surprised when he saw the shift report Wu Yongjie handed over. Wu Yongjie actually came up with this idea...

There are three shifts, and their working hours overlap. How do they work?

For example, at present, the steel drill is used to open the way, and the shield machine has been put into use. However, relatively speaking, the use of the shield machine requires more concentration. If it takes a long time and cannot be concentrated, accidents are more likely to occur.

So the people who arrive in the first shift will get on the shield machine first. Two hours later, the people in the second shift will take over, and the first shift will hand over the shield machine to the people in the second shift. The people in the first shift will change to steel drills to do less dangerous work, and they can also control the strength of the steel drills themselves.

Two hours after the second shift took over, the first shift officially left, the third shift took over the shield machine, and the second shift moved on to the steel chisel...

By analogy, the actual working time is two hours longer, so it is twelve hours in total, but the actual working time of each shift is actually four hours.

The machine will not stop working, and the physical exertion of the personnel should be within an acceptable range.

Ling Fengxi approved of Wu Yongjie's idea and immediately approved the new working model of the engineering team with a red pen. Of course, the workers also approved it.
