Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 281
It took a long time to prepare all kinds of construction materials.
There is no way to build a cement road with a total length of up to 6 kilometers. The consumption of cement alone is more than 20000 tons, and there are not a few sand, stone and steel bars.
With such a huge amount of material, the current production capacity of the Haichao islands must be reserved in advance, and the rest can be produced at the same time of construction.
If calculated by the market price, the material cost of this cement road is as high as 30000 jinnals, but in fact, the cost may be less than 120.
Because free labor, the former slaves.
Most of the workers involved in the construction are free workers, and the administrative department only needs to manage the food and housing. With the surprisingly low prices on the island, the cost of this part is terrible. Even if dundundun is full of fish and meat, the per capita cost is less than 15 copper nals, which is extremely cheap.
From this point of view, the purchase and use of slaves is definitely a lucrative business.
In other people''s eyes, each slave has only two years of free service, which seems to be a loss to grandma''s family. But anyone who knows the inside story knows that Renault actually made a lot of money.
The purchase cost of a slave is only a few jinnals, but the value they create in two years is tens or even hundreds of times higher than the purchase cost.
The most fundamental reason is industrialization. The ultra-high labor productivity brings a trace of warmth to exploitation. It doesn''t need to be so cruel.
In addition, too ruthless squeezing is not good for Renault. If everyone has no extra money to spend, it is useless for Renault to produce so many goods desperately.
Can you use it all by yourself?
Only by making the common people rich can there be a large enough domestic demand market and the economy be truly invigorated.
In addition to preparing materials, the free workers involved in road construction have to receive a period of training in advance.
This is inevitable.
After all, the cement road to be built is not the traditional dirt road of the alien world. As long as the subgrade is cleared out in the field, filled and compacted, it is enough.
Haichao collar''s road construction method is very cumbersome and highly professional. The workers who don''t know anything can''t do anything but make trouble.
The administrative department has been busy with all the work ahead for more than a month. Until today, all the preparations have been completed.
Before the official start of construction, the administrative department also held a decent commencement ceremony.
In the open space outside the South Gate of Hongshi Town, there are thousands of workers, all wearing safety helmets and uniform work clothes.
This is exactly what Renault, a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, likes to do. He always thinks that uniform dress is the only way to be called regular army.
What do you look like in all kinds of clothes? It''s unprofessional at first sight.
As a prominent industrial party member, how can we act like a grass-roots team composed of contractors and migrant workers?
I can''t accept it!
Under Renault''s persistent indoctrination, the whole territory accepted this practice.
Not to mention anything else, just these 1000 people, dressed in uniform clothes and standing in a neat square array outside the south gate, look very imposing and attract some civilians to watch.
However, the audience is far less than when they built warehouses before, because there are many factories in the territory now, and there are few idle people. Everyone is busy working to earn money and strive for a better life. How can they have time to wander around?
At this time, Renault was still floating on the ocean, and the commencement ceremony was presided over by the consul.
This girl is very simple, she quickly climbed to a magic bulldozer roof, ready to make a speech.
Originally, according to the intention of the administrative department, it was intended to build a high platform for the consul lady to give a speech, but the girl did not hesitate to reject this kind of flattery.
It''s just a few words. Do you need such trouble?
Do you have to demolish it after building?
Not only that, she also secretly listed the person who made the suggestion as the key observation object.
Facing the gaze of more than 1000 pairs of eyes, she didn''t have a trace of timidity on her face and cried out:
"ladies and gentlemen, I''m Angela Theron, the highest consul of Haichao administrative department. In the next construction project, I hope everyone can work hard."
"Because you are working for both the territory and yourself. For those who work hard, we will reduce 1-3 months of free service as appropriate."
"For those who disobey the command and cheat in their work, we will also have certain punishment measures, such as extending the service period."
"Finally, if the construction project can be completed within four months and successfully passed the acceptance, all staff will be exempted from the one month service period..."
Hearing this, the faces of all the free workers showed uncontrollable excitement.
The girl nodded with satisfaction, jumped off the magic bulldozer and waved to everyone to start work.
The civil servants in charge of the command at the scene immediately yelled. The drivers quickly got into the magic construction machinery parked at one side, while the workers, under the leadership of each team leader, ran to their respective targets, and the area instantly became lively.The whole opening ceremony lasted less than 30 seconds, which was incredibly short.
This is the girl''s vigorous style of doing things. She only pays attention to efficiency and abandons all the red tape.
Isn''t it enough to make clear the most important reward and punishment measures? Is it necessary to chatter for a long time?
If you put it in a country on earth, this kind of commencement ceremony will have to be more intense. Several speakers will take turns on the stage and Balabala will talk for a long time.
Because it''s all political achievements. Isn''t it a pity not to show up?
But in Haichao islands, different systems result in different work styles.
As a lord, Renault likes high efficiency and hates all kinds of useless and inefficient processes, so Angela has a way to learn from Renault, and even does it more thoroughly than Renault in some aspects.
Nowadays, in the administrative department, if any chief secretary makes a fussy report on his work, she will definitely be reprimanded mercilessly.
It''s almost the same style of doing things in government departments nowadays.
There''s no way. If anyone doesn''t, there''s no chance of promotion. In the routine performance appraisal, there''s a risk of going away.
Even if they are not used to this practice, no one is willing to lose his job because of the generous treatment.
If you don''t want to do it, some people will!
It is only under the rule of a traverser that such a completely different approach will appear.
Renault comes from the information age. He is deeply branded with his thinking habits and work style. Any inefficient behavior will make him feel uncomfortable.
If any aristocratic territory or even Kingdom level administrative organization is replaced, who is the most procrastinating and inefficient process?
It will take at least a week for an official document to be delivered from the palace to the place. Ten days and a half months later, the whole country is like a slow behemoth.
The girl just watched for a while and left with the twin sisters.
Specific construction projects, has developed a detailed plan, just in accordance with the plan, and all aspects of the plan are responsible for.
Girls do not need to intervene at all, just need to check the progress regularly, and give appropriate rewards and punishments.
