Chapter 816: Very Hot Atmosphere
After encouraging Li Muen, Lin Ze continued to move forward.
He was going to visit several families in the accommodation area.
I walked into a small room, which was a little dark.
A man was lying on the bed, with his wife standing next to him. When the woman saw so many important people rushing in, she held the corner of her clothes, not knowing what to do.
One boy was quite calm. He brought two stools over and whispered, "Master, please sit down."
Lin Ze didn't sit down, but walked to the bedside, "You are Liang Youfu, right? I heard about you, so I came to see you. How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Liang Youfu was not among the first group of workers to flee; he was recruited from Peiping.
There were some small factories in the suburbs of Peking. After the Japanese invaders came, these small factories were either occupied or simply closed down, and Liang Youfu lost his job as a result.
Because he knew how to debug the machines, he was hired to do the work.
After working here for a month, Liang Youfu fell in love with this place. He built a shack in the accommodation area and brought his wife and children over.
Although his current living conditions are not very good, he feels that with his wages, he can build a mud house in less than a year. If he can work for three to five years, he may be able to build a brick house!
The key is that life here is good!
He works at a construction site and is provided with meals. His wife cooks in the canteen and earns some money. The child was sent to school as soon as he was brought home. Now he can not only recite the Three Character Classic, but also recognize foreign letters!
Where can you find such a life?
More than half a month ago, Liang Youfu was maintaining the dredging equipment on the coast as usual, but due to an unstable foundation, one of the machines fell over.
If this big guy fell into the sea, it would be difficult to deal with. Liang Youfu gritted his teeth, dragged the chain with all his strength, and made the machine fall in one direction, but he was hit by a bracket, right on the waist.
This was like a bolt from the blue for the family who had just seen hope.
Fortunately, the construction site arranged for him to receive medical treatment as soon as possible. Although he still has to stay in bed for a long time, there is still a possibility that he can stand up again.
After research, Zhou Xuejin decided to set Liang Youfu as a model, increased his wife's salary, and hired a doctor to treat him specifically.
I originally wanted to give out another sum of money, but Lin Ze rejected it.
It’s okay to give treatment, but it’s not okay to just give a large sum of money.
What Lin Ze was worried about was that this would lead to others deliberately imitating him. Such a situation has happened in later generations.
Liang Youfu lay on the bed with tears in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that Master Lin would come to see him in person!
Liang Youfu was so excited that his lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word.
Lin Ze comforted him, "Just rest and recover, don't feel any burden in your heart. There is still the construction site, the Coordination Bureau, and me. Do you have any difficulties now?"
Liang Youfu calmed down and said, "Master Lin, it's not difficult. I only have one request."
"Oh? You said, as long as it can be done, I will do it for you."
"I am lying in bed now. The construction site is responsible for seeing a doctor and taking medicine. They have also increased my wife's salary. My children don't have to pay for school and food. I beg them not to pay me anymore. I can't just take money without working!"
Everyone present was moved.
The propagandist sent by the construction headquarters was recording things quickly in a notebook. He was going to publish continuous reports in the construction site tabloid!
Lin Ze patted Liang Youfu's arm and said, "You were injured on the construction site. It is only natural that the construction site should pay you a salary during your recovery period. Old Liang, take good care of yourself. When you recover, you must continue to contribute to the construction site!"
After leaving Liang Youfu's residence, Lin Ze visited several more families. The situations of all of them were similar. Some were injured at the construction site, some suffered sudden illnesses, and some were enthusiastic about helping their fellow workers and had done touching deeds.
Zhou Xuejin has been following Lin Ze, learning and imitating him eagerly.
After visiting these families, the annual commendation meeting was held in the afternoon.
Of course, the external theme is: Contributing to the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Journey - Annual Summary Meeting of Tianjin New Port Construction.
However, the first words on the banner hung in the auditorium that day were removed, leaving only the annual summary meeting of the Tianjin New Port construction.
Everyone at the meeting thought it was normal.
Our construction of a new port has nothing to do with the Japanese?
We all work for Master Lin!
As for whether anyone will report this...
Let’s put it this way, the workers are now under dual leadership, one is the construction command center, which includes people like Zhou Xuejin, Yoshimura Yuta, and Dominic, and the other is the workers’ joint defense team.
The joint defense team has squads under it, squads under it, and squads under it. It can be said that there is all-round coverage with no blind spots.
This is not a game, the joint defense team is really training. Lin Ze also got a batch of weapons from the front headquarters in the name of protecting the construction site from sabotage by the rebels.
The grass-roots units of the joint defense team do not require full-time staff, but starting from the squadron, there are some full-time team members. These people train and take classes all day long, and they are all excellent in terms of physical fitness and ideological quality!
Not to mention someone reporting that there was trouble at the construction site, even if someone got drunk and cursed at Master Lin in the middle of the night, that person would basically disappear the next morning.
Then again, in the whole of Tianjin, from the Police Corps to the Auxiliary Management Bureau, to the Military Police Command, and then to Wang Zhulin's Chamber of Commerce system, Xiao Jiang Dagui's restaurant membership system and Dominica's Foreign Chamber of Commerce system, it can be said that people from all walks of life, from the military, civilians, and businessmen are all vying to show their loyalty to Master Lin!
Even in this situation, there are still people who want to report it. They are really like an old man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long!
What does it mean to cover the sky with one hand? This is what it means to cover the sky with one hand!
We certainly cannot invite everyone to attend this kind of summary meeting. After all, there are tens of thousands of people on the construction site and the space is not that big.
However, the venue was also very lively. The workers who were selected to attend the meeting were all in high spirits and wore neat work uniforms. They were not necessarily new, but they were definitely clean.
Some people even had pens on their necks, which was a symbol of having attended literacy classes on the construction site and was considered an educated person.
There was another row of workers sitting alone, each of them looking nervous and restrained.
These are all the advanced people who have been selected and will receive their awards later.
Well, Lin Ze even reported these advanced people to Matsuzaki, saying that they were advanced elements who worked hard and built new ports for the empire, so they should be commended.
Matsuzaki waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me about these trivial matters in the future. You can arrange them yourself. If you are short of money, let the headquarters... let the administrative committee solve it for you!"
Of course, Lin Ze would not leave any list, otherwise it would be bad for these workers in the future.
All in all, the meeting started in a very heated atmosphere.
When Lin Ze walked onto the stage waving his hands, the whole audience cheered. Infected by this atmosphere, no one could help but be excited!
