Chapter 120: Three-Way Division
Zhou Zhengan looked at the brick kiln and asked,
"Are there bricks in the kiln now?"
"Yes!"
"Let's go and take a look and move the bricks out."
"Captain, don't be in a hurry. Even if the kiln has been cold for more than an hour, the temperature is still a bit high."
Liu Haidong followed Zhou Zhengan and persuaded him. Although bricks can be moved out now, they are still hot.
It is possible that the ones at the innermost part will be hot.
"What's so high? Don't you guys want to see what the bricks in our brick kiln look like?"
He shouted to the people in and outside the yard, and the others immediately shouted.
"I want to."
"Okay, all the men come in to help, and the women stay outside.
All the men come in to move bricks for us and see what the first batch of bricks in our brick kiln looks like."
Zhou Zhengan gave an order, and the men outside the yard jumped off the wall, rolled up their sleeves and rushed into the kiln.
They didn't burn many bricks in this kiln.
With so many people coming to help, what are 10,000 bricks?
Each person hadn't even moved ten bricks, but they had already moved all the bricks. The bricks were neatly stacked in the yard for everyone to watch.
Now more and more people were watching, if just now it was just a small area.
Now the whole Sixth Brigade was alarmed, mainly because many people spread the word that the brick kiln had produced bricks.
Since the failure of the brick kiln a few years ago, people had no hope for this brick kiln.
Who knew that the brick kiln would produce bricks without a sound, and it was produced by a male educated youth who was looked down upon by everyone.
This was almost beyond everyone's expectations.
But this good news seemed to have grown wings and flew all over the Sixth Brigade.
Men, women, old and young, all rushed to the brickyard.
At this moment, it could no longer be described as crowded, and everyone was gathered around the pile of bricks.
In fact, 10,000 bricks may sound like a lot, but if they were laid out, there were actually not many.
Zhou Zhengan and other cadres picked up each brick seriously.
And they even tried to break it directly.
The toughness can be observed from the cut of the cross section.
Even Zhou Zhengan couldn't find fault with it, this brick is definitely of high quality.
After turning it over, Zhou Zhengan was so happy that his whole face was full of smiles. For Captain Yan Ke, who is usually as cold as an iceberg, this smile made everyone happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"Captain, are these really the bricks we made?"
"I have good news for you guys. We can finally make our own bricks. From today on, our Sixth Brigade can live in our own brick houses just like other brigades with brickyards."
"And I want to solemnly introduce to you that the hero of this brickyard is our male educated youth Liu Haidong who just came last year.
Xiao Liu is a capable man. He inherited his father's business. His father is an engineer and technician in a large brick factory.
And now Xiao Liu has become a technician in our brickyard, and of course he is also the director of the brickyard."
"I hope everyone will cooperate with Xiao Liu in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Haidong was stunned on the spot. He knew that it would be no problem to become a technician with his skills.
In fact, he didn't feel bitter or tired when working in the brickyard, mainly because his father did this.
Although he is in his 20s, he is very good at this craft.
After all, who can be like him, kneading mud in the brickyard since he was one or two years old.
But the factory director and the technician are obviously not the same concept, even if it is just a small brick kiln in this remote place.
Being a factory director is naturally different.
"Captain Zhou, I am afraid I can't bear this responsibility."
"Xiao Liu, don't be modest. Since you can take up the burden of burning bricks, you will definitely do better. Don't worry, we all have high hopes for you and will actively cooperate with your work."
This time it was Jiang Yifan who spoke up. If the brickyard can really burn bricks, their Sixth Brigade will basically be like flying to the sky with wings.
These days, there are many people living in a nest in the northwest. Who doesn't want to live in a brick house?
But there must be a place to buy.
It also depends on local conditions, and transportation here is not convenient.
Even if you want to buy bricks from other places, it is not that easy. Not only is the price of long-distance transportation expensive, but you have to add the transportation fee. It's all money inside and out.
The most important thing is that the special market outside is not rich, and the demand exceeds the supply.
For them who are now in a state of poverty, developing local brickyards is something they all know at present.
On the one hand, it is to boost the local economy, and on the other hand, they are in short supply of such things.
But they are too short of talent. Where can they find so many people who can make bricks?
It seems that this brick kiln is very simple, but in fact, everyone knows that even some old masters who are not well-trained will burn the bricks in the brick kiln.
Let alone just finding someone to make bricks.
Everyone was watching at the brickyard. Zhou Zhengan took Jiang Yifan and others back to the brigade headquarters quickly. After the excitement of these cadres, they naturally had more important things to do.
Zhou Zhengan and several other cadres did not sleep for several days and nights in the brigade headquarters to formulate plans. The first was that the construction of their duck farm could be scheduled in advance.
The brick farm and duck farm were carried out at the same time, and a part of the labor force was specially sent to carry out the construction.
We need to speed up this time. After all, the duck farm waits for no one. It will take another three months for this duck to have duck feathers.
Their down jacket and quilt factory has started construction, and they have to catch up.
The progress of construction here needs to be carried out, and there is no need to delay at the brick factory.
If it was just a trial launch of some experimental products at the beginning, now it is increasing funding. After all, the bricks produced by the brick factory are specifically used to build duck farms.
They have to divide their forces into three groups, and the construction of the down quilt factory also depends on them.
After all, in addition to their normal training, some of their comrades are members of specialized construction units.
These tasks fall within their scope of work, and the good news does not go to outsiders. The down quilt and clothing factory is built on their site, so naturally they have to use their construction team.
Zhou Zhengan arranged for different people to take charge of these matters and immediately drove to find Lao Wang.
Director Wang can now be called Factory Director Wang.
What may seem like a demotion in name is actually a promotion.
Because their down quilt factory this time is a large local-level unit.
Although the scale of the factory this time is small at first, this is the first workshop they built. According to the plan, a total of 6 to 10 workshops will be built.
But at present, neither funds nor all aspects are in place, so what supports their construction now is the first workshop.
Once ten workshops are built, Director Wang, the factory director, will probably be in a better position.
