Chapter 343
Chapter 343
After Xia Ruolan left in the afternoon, Zhao Guoqing was also busy.
Because tomorrow the brick factory will start.
In the end, he selected a group of people to go to the brick factory, including Zhao Gui and Liu Zhencai, his cousin Liu Hua, and seven or eight people in the village who had a good relationship with him.
Fifteen workers were put together.
I plan to make bricks on the first batch of flat land, and take advantage of the hot weather now, where to put more bricks, so that after the kiln is opened, an assembly line will be formed.
Red bricks and green tiles will be fired continuously.
When firing the kiln, Zhao Guoqing and Zhao Shun discussed that this brick factory would fire that kind of red brick, because the green brick process and time are relatively long, and the cost is much more expensive.
But red bricks are different, red bricks cost and process less, the cost is lower, used to sell to the surrounding quality and low price.
The initial cost of the brick factory was almost 10,000 yuan.
Every year, the village collective is given 1,000 yuan, and the initial wage for each worker is 40 yuan a month.
The skilled workers in the kiln in the back will add five or ten dollars more.
10,000 pieces looks like a lot, but it is used in this brick factory, and the point of the province is also saved, because this construction of the factory really requires money everywhere.
Simple houses to build, simple machines for digging soil, and machines for mixing soil, although they are relatively simple, but they are not cheap.
Originally, according to Zhao Shun’s meaning, rural labor is cheap, you can hire a little more people, whether it is digging soil, or stirring soil is completely manual, so that the cost is lower.
Because this is how the Red Star Brick and Tile Factory was done.
But Zhao Guoqing disagreed.
“This year, you can still invite strong laborers for forty yuan a month, but next year, the year after that, this salary will also be multiplied, but the machines are different, and it will feel expensive to buy now, but it will not be expensive in half a year, and these machines save effort, and everyone will work a little lighter in the brick and tile factory…” Because
Zhao Guoqing knew that after the reform and opening up, there were more ways to make money in the countryside.
Forty yuan a month is not a high salary.
If you want to retain people, you have to have more money and less work, otherwise after waiting for a while, five or six dollars a month may not be able to hire workers.
“We all listen to the National Day, anyway, he is the big boss, he has the most shares…”
Zhang Jun smiled and hit the circle.
Anyway, they have less shares with less money, but Zhao Guoqing has more shares, so naturally everything is based on him.
When he said this, Zhao Shun naturally did not argue again.
Anyway, he invested the least amount of money, but he followed Zhao Guoqing and Zhang Jun around.
The plan for the brick factory was quickly decided, and Zhao Guoqing was very satisfied with this.
Similar to what he originally thought, he took a large share of the brick factory, he had the final say, but there were some things that Zhao Shun and Zhang Jun could help deal with, so that after the brick factory was on the right track.
You can provide him with a steady stream of cash.
It won’t involve too much of his energy.
At that time, he can put his mind on Jiang Cheng, and after he gains a foothold there, he can consider his marriage to Xia Ruolan.
He doesn’t want to wait too long, people always have to have some happiness that they want to seize in their lives.
It’s not interesting.

The next day, before dawn, Zhao Guoqing went to the Xiaoxihe Brick and Tile Factory.
This little stream has changed a lot.
The original weeds have been reborn, which have been burned clean, and the ground has been bulldozed and divided into several areas.
The most interesting thing is the place where the bricks are made, which is densely packed with bricks, and then there are several wooden houses next to it, where some people cook and some people stay here.
Zhang Jun’s daughter-in-law, Jin Guimei, and Liu Zhencai’s daughter-in-law, cooked for the workers here.
Liu Zhencai, his daughter-in-law and Zhao Gui all built wooden houses here.
Eat and rest here during the day, so as not to run back and forth and delay time and get tired, sleep here at night, lest someone or a wild beast give the bricks to Hoho.
There are also sheds with woven straw that was prepared to prevent the destruction of the rough bricks in the event of rain.
When Zhao Guoqing went, Liu Zhencai was preparing a big rooster and a pig’s head.
Rural habits, such as opening factories and breaking ground, you have to burn incense and sacrifice and pray, whether it is useful or not, whether it is a psychological effect or not, it is a ritual that cannot be less.
Otherwise, the workers who work are not at ease.
I always feel that I didn’t burn incense for the land, and I was afraid that something would be unlucky.
Zhao Guoqing came to burn incense today, and he wanted to move the soil, because today he wanted to build an earthen kiln, and the red bricks and tiles of their brick and tile factory would be fired from this earthen kiln in the future.
A large table, a smoked black incense burner in the front, behind a pig’s head, a whole chicken, a whole duck, etc.
Workers have already come one after another, and this time many people are dragging their children and daughters, mainly to make up personal popularity.
Seeing that the sun was about to come out, Zhao Guoqing nodded at Liu Zhencai and signaled that he could start, and Zhao Quan quickly took out the prepared firecrackers.
Zhao Guoqing picked up the three incense sticks and bowed to the sky and the land, which is a kind of gratitude and respect for heaven and earth.
Then after kowtowing to insert incense ceremony, the workers behind came to put incense on one by one, and they all chanted words in their mouths, which was nothing more than a safe and healthy thing.
After all the workers finished pouring incense, Zhao Quan began to set off firecrackers.
The sound of crackling firecrackers suddenly made the place very lively, and everyone had a relaxed and happy expression on their faces.
Zhao Guoqing picked up a shovel tied with red cloth and began to dig three shovels in the location of the originally selected cave, and when he moved the ground, he heard the applause and cheers around him, and everyone seemed extremely happy.
Yes, once the construction of this cave begins, it means that the Chaoyang Brigade also has a brick factory.
In the future, the brigade in this vicinity will not have money and will not be able to buy bricks and tiles, and whoever wants to build a house can come here directly to drag.
The men went to dig the kiln, and the women went to bring the pig’s heads, chickens and ducks that had just been sacrificed, and after a while they would cook these to make a large pot, and everyone would eat a fire meal together.
Before the sun came out, Xia Ruolan had already set off, this time she was sitting in the back row.
But Zheng Shuai patted the co-pilot and invited her jokingly.
“Ruolan, you sit in the co-pilot, you can also talk to me, lest I be too bored alone, no one to speak, maybe I will doze off and panic…” Zheng
Shuai didn’t sleep well last night, he spent all night wondering, how to make Xia Ruolan willing to take care of
herself?
Let her accept herself
The relationship with him is a thousand miles away, it is best to wait until you go to Shangjing to meet the old man, they can you nong my nong.
Then the marriage became.
Let Xia Ruolan sit in the co-pilot and shorten the distance between the two, which is the first way Zheng Shuai thinks of.
