New Ming Empire mixed in America

Speaking of secret construction sites, we have to mention Foxconn’s Affiliated Workers’ College.

As a purely welfare school, Li Mingqi's reputation is very high in the hearts of Foxconn workers.

In response, His Majesty the Emperor generously allowed Foxconn workers to work only eight hours a day and implemented three shifts in the factory.

During the remaining time, these workers have to take turns to attend Foxconn-affiliated schools for further studies. Those with excellent academic performance will be promoted in job titles.

That's right, the factory has implemented regulations on paying wages according to job title. If your job rank is high enough, you can be sent to other factories to serve as leaders.

Dongfang Li... No, it was the noble personality of Li Yuan of the New Ming Empire that made all the workers feel warm.

The lives of these people now have undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.

In the past, the first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to consider whether there was enough food today and where to get food.

The first thing I do when I open my eyes now is to pick up Li Yuanshou's book "Struggle" and read the famous quote above several times: 'God can't save you, God's eyes will only fall on the capitalists, so I'm here...'

"At this moment, workers from the West Coast finally felt the sunshine, and the dark clouds that had been hanging over our heads seemed to have been torn apart!"

On the stage, after a tall young man in jeans finished reading his lines, he opened his hands, raised his head slightly, and enjoyed the applause from the audience with half-squinted eyes.

The young man is an ordinary student of the Umbrella School. Today it is his class's turn to teach at the Workers' College. He is just one of the temporary instructors.

Among the students sitting in the audience were his former neighbors, as well as his brother and father.

Now these people all stood up and applauded enthusiastically. Seeing this scene, the young man nodded happily.

President Li once said that only by devoting everything you have to the light in your heart can you make this light gradually become greater.

And the light in his heart was the head Li Yuan who tied a red scarf on him with his own hands.

The red represents the red on the umbrella school badge, and the remaining white is the light in our own hearts - Mr. Li.

We must use our own red to protect the light in our hearts. "Long live President Li!"

After mentally going through the basic process of thanking President Li, the young man pressed his hands to the audience and said:

"Everything is for the head of state! Please turn the book to page 404. In today's lesson we will learn about 'dedication'..."

"What is dedication? Dedication is not selfless. President Li said that everyone has selfish motives. But I want to remind you that when President Li said this, he had absolutely no selfish intentions..."

Holding the red and white umbrella-shaped school badge on his chest, the young man sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at the huge bust painting of President Li on the back wall of the classroom, the young man restrained his divergent thinking and continued to teach the class attentively.

President Li said that no matter what you do, you need to be careful. Only in this way will you not regret it in the future.

Only a great man like President Li could say such philosophical words.

The young man now only has one belief, and that is to work hard to earn credits. After he has accumulated enough credits, he will apply to join the Umbrella Youth League.

It would be great to become a noble reserve member of the Umbrella Corps. It would be great if I could join the Royal Guards of Yuan Yuan Li in the future. That would be Guangzong...bite your feet~

Li Mingqi, who had watched the entire class through the window at the back door of the class, nodded.

The performance of these students is outstanding. With these backbones, we can let the umbrella school grow freely in the future.

Without disturbing the young people and Foxconn workers who were giving lectures, Li Mingqi walked outside the school under the protection of the Jin Yiwei.

Li Mingqi has a lot of work to do today, such as the Yingtianfu Highway construction groundbreaking ceremony that he has to attend.

This imperial highway connecting Long Beach, the factory area, Qingren Street Town, Xinming Town, and various villages has been outsourced to a California company.

This road, which is mainly made of asphalt, can be said to be the first official road on the American continent.

The width of fifteen meters can be said to be the widest standard highway in the world at this time. Of course, this standard is the Xinming standard.

Most of the asphalt used for road paving is processed by refineries in factory areas.

Some of the raw materials come from secret construction sites, while the rest are sent from various refineries in California.

Including primary diesel used as lubricant. These 'wastes' left over from refining kerosene were purchased by Li Ming at cabbage prices.

After being sent to the Imperial Refinery for processing, the remaining qualified asphalt will be sent to the construction site for paving roads.

In order to solve the problem of asphalt heating, Li Mingqi also asked the boiler manufacturer to specially design several machines.

There are heating machines pulled by horses and steam mixers. A special steam roller was also customized.

In short, Li Mingqi paid a huge amount for this highway. The cost alone used more than a ton of aluminum, not counting labor costs.

After arriving at the road construction site, Li Mingqi gave a brief speech, and then waved the shovel and made several postures as if he was working hard.

Even for the sake of authenticity, Li Mingqi even put on the dirty clothes worn by workers when working.

Also put some dust on your face and hands, and then use water to create the effect of sweating.

Try to avoid the situation where photos appear fake when they are published on Empire Set in the future.

Of course, it is also indispensable to encourage these good workers who traveled thousands of miles to build roads for the Xinming Empire.

Looking at these white people with motivated faces, Li Mingqi only felt grateful.

Then he left the construction site before it started heating the asphalt.

The imperial subjects were also strictly prohibited from approaching the road construction site, and several imperial subjects who wanted to contract a section of road construction work were severely rejected.

Just kidding, in this era, unprotected exposure to the gas produced by heated asphalt is almost the same as committing suicide.

How could Li Mingqi let the people of the empire do this job?

Li Mingqi, who still felt uneasy after thinking about it, simply mobilized some soldiers from the National Defense Force and used eye-catching ropes to pull up an isolation belt around the perimeter.

Some bilingual signboards with 'Danger, please approach here' written on the top and 'Please approach here' written below were erected along the construction site to remind people to pay attention to safety.

In addition to road construction, construction has also begun in the dock area to build residential areas, as well as supporting infrastructure such as schools and hospitals.

Nowadays, there are a lot of people in the empire, and they cannot all be crowded into Xinming Town.

Besides, container houses are only for emergency use. Wouldn’t the modern courtyard houses in the rural areas of later generations be delicious?

If these unscrupulous people don't move out, how can Xinming Town be expanded? What if a demolition dispute occurs?

Even if there was no dispute, the high subsidies made Liu Youcai write to Li Mingqi again and again to persuade him to think again.
